31 Pashishe Yehowa wakambila Mose ne:
2 “Usombuele+ bena Isalele kudi bena Midiyana.+ Pashishe neusangishibue kudi bena mu tshisamba tshienu.”*+
3 Ke Mose kuakula ne bantu, kuambaye ne: “Peshayi bantu balume ba munkatshi muenu bia mvita bua baye kuluangana* ne Midiyana ne bua kukumbaja disombuela dia Yehowa kudi Midiyana.
4 Nenutume bantu tshinunu ba mu tshisa tshionso tshia mu bisa bia Isalele ku mvita.”
5 Nunku bakasungula bantu tshinunu mu tshisa tshionso mu binunu bia Isalele,+ bantu binunu 12 bikale ne bia mvita bua kuluangana.*
6 Pashishe Mose wakabatuma ku mvita, bantu tshinunu ba mu tshisa tshionso, pamue ne Pinehasa+ muana wa Eleazâ muakuidi wa tshiluilu, uvua ne bintu bia tshijila ne mpungi ya mvita+ mu tshianza tshiende.
7 Bakela Midiyana mvita, anu muvua Yehowa mutumine Mose dîyi, kushipabu bantu balume bonso.
8 Bakashipa bakalenge ba Midiyana pamue ne bantu bakuabu bavuabu bashipe, mmumue ne: Evi, Lekeme, Sû, Hû, ne Leba, bakalenge batanu ba Midiyana. Bakashipa kabidi Balâma+ muana wa Beô ku muele wa mvita.
9 Kadi bena Isalele bakakuata bantu bakaji ne bana ba mu Midiyana, kuyabu nabu. Bakapawula kabidi nyama yabu yonso ya pambelu, bimuna biabu bionso, ne bintu biabu bionso.
10 Bakuosha bimenga biabu bionso bivuabu basombele ne bitudilu* biabu bionso ne kapia.
11 Bakangata bionso bivuabu banyenge ne bionso bivuabu bapawule, bantu ne nyama bionso.

13 Nunku Mose ne muakuidi Eleazâ ne bamfumu ba tshisumbu bakapatuka bua kusambakena nabu pambelu pa tshitudilu.
14 Kadi Mose wakakuatshila bantu basungula ba mu tshiluilu, bamfumu ba bantu tshinunu tshinunu ne bamfumu ba bantu lukama lukama bavua bafumina ku mvita tshiji.
15 Mose wakabambila ne: “Nudi bashiye bantu bakaji bonso ne muoyo anyi?
16 Monayi! Bobu aba ke bavua basake bena Isalele ku dipanga lulamatu+ kudi Yehowa ku dîyi dia Balâma mu tshilumbu tshia Peô,+ nunku tshipupu kukuatatshi tshisumbu tshia Yehowa.+
17 Mpindieu nudi ne bua kushipa muana wa balume yonso munkatshi mua bana ne kushipa muntu mukaji yonso ukadi musangile ne mulume.
18 Kadi nudi mua kushiya bana ba bakaji bonso badi kabayi banji kusangila ne balume ne muoyo.+
19 Pashishe nudi ne bua kushala pambelu pa tshitudilu matuku muanda mutekete. Muntu yonso wa kunudi udi mushipe muntu,* ne muntu yonso wa kunudi udi mulenge muntu mushipa+ udi ne bua kudikezula+ mu dituku disatu ne mu dituku dia muanda mutekete, nuenu ne bantu banudi bakuate.
20 Nudi ne bua kukezula tshilamba tshionso, tshintu tshionso tshia tshiseba, tshintu tshionso tshienza ne miosa ya mbuji ne tshintu tshionso tshienza ne dibaya ku mpekatu.”
21 Pashishe muakuidi Eleazâ wakambila bantu ba mu tshiluilu bavua baye ku mvita ne: “Edi ndîyi difunda dia mukenji divua Yehowa muelele Mose ne:
22 ‘Anu or, tshiamu tshia arjan, tshiamu tshia mitaku, tshiamu tshifiike, tshiamu tshia eten, ne tshiamu tshia plomb,
23 tshintu tshionso tshidi mua kupitshila mu kapia, nudi ne bua kutshipitshisha mu kapia ne netshikale tshikezuke. Kadi nudi ne bua kutshikezula kabidi ne mâyi a kukezulangana nawu.+ Tshintu tshionso tshidi katshiyi mua kupitshila mu kapia nudi ne bua kutshitua mu mâyi.
24 Nudi ne bua kusukula bilamba bienu dituku dia muanda mutekete ne kuikala bakezuke, ne pashishe nudi mua kubuela mu tshitudilu.’”+
25 Pashishe Yehowa wakambila Mose nunku:
26 Bala bungi bua bintu bivuabu bapawule, ubala bionso bivuabu bakuate, bantu ne nyama; wenze nunku pamue ne muakuidi Eleazâ ne bamfumu ba nzubu ya batatuabu ba mu tshisumbu.
27 Tapulula bintu bivuabu bapawule mu bitupa bibidi bua kubiabanyina bantu ba mu tshiluilu bavua baye ku mvita ne bena mu tshisumbu bakuabu bonso.+
28 Newangate bu tshitadi tshia Yehowa kudi basalayi bavua baye ku mvita, anyima* umue mu anyima 500 yonso, mu bantu, mu ngombe, mu mpunda ne mu mikoko.
29 Nenutshiangate mu tshia bibidi tshiabu ne nenutshipeshe muakuidi Eleazâ bu dipa dia Yehowa.+
30 Mu tshia bibidi tshidibu bapeshe bena Isalele newangate umue mu 50, mu bantu, mu ngombe, mu mpunda, mu mikoko, ne mu nyama ya pambelu ya mishindu yonso, ne neubipeshe bena Lewi+ badi batangila midimu idi itangila ntenta wa tshitendelelu wa Yehowa.”+
31 Nunku Mose ne muakuidi Eleazâ bakenza anu muvua Yehowa muambile Mose bua kuenza.
32 Bintu bivuabu banyenge, mmumue ne: bintu bivua bishale ku bivuabu bapawule bivua bantu bavua baye ku mvita bangate, bivua mikoko binunu 675,

40 Kuvua kabidi bantu* binunu 16, ne tshitadi tshiabu tshia Yehowa tshivua tshia bantu* 32.
41 Pashishe Mose wakafila tshitadi atshi kudi muakuidi Eleazâ,+ bu dipa dia Yehowa, anu muvua Yehowa mutumine Mose dîyi bua kuenza.
42 Mu tshia bibidi tshia bintu tshia bena Isalele tshivua Mose mutapulule ku tshitupa tshia bintu bia bantu bavua baye kuluangana mvita,

48 Pashishe bantu basungula ba mu binunu bia mu tshiluilu,+ bamfumu ba bantu tshinunu tshinunu ne bamfumu ba bantu lukama lukama, bakalua kudi Mose,
49 kuambilabu Mose ne: “Bena mudimu bebe mbabale bungi bua bantu bavua baye ku mvita ku bulombodi buetu, ne muntu nansha umue wa kutudi ki mmujimine to.+
50 Nunku anyisha bua muntu yonso wa kutudi afile bidiye mupete bu mulambu wa Yehowa: bintu bia or, shene ya ku mikolo, bikanu bia ku maboko, mpeta ya kutua nayi bimanyinu, tukanu tua ku matshi ne bilengejilu bikuabu, bua kutubuikidila mpekatu* kumpala kua Yehowa.”
