3 Az why Moses tell da peopo, “Make ready some a yoa army guys fo go fight da Midian guys, fo Da One In Charge pay dem back fo wat dey wen do. 4 Sen one tousan guys from ery main ohana inside da Israel peopo fo fight dem.” 5 So twelve tousan guys get dea stuffs ready fo war, one tousan from ery Israel ohana. 6 Moses sen tousan guys from ery main ohana fo fight. He sen Finehas too, Eleazar da pries boy. Finehas take tings from da Place Dat Stay Spesho Fo God, an metal trumpets fo blow.

An dey kill Balaam, Beor boy, wit dea swords. 9 Da Israel guys make da Midian wahines an kids dea prisonas, an take all dea animals an all dea stuffs. 10 Dey burn all da towns wea da Midian peopo live, an dea camps too. 11 Dey take all da stuffs dey wen rip off, an da peopo an da animals, 12 an dey bring all da prisonas an stuff dey rip off. Dey bring um by Moses an Eleazar da pries guy an by all da Israel peopo inside da camp on top da flat place Moab side, nea da Jordan Riva, da odda side from Jericho.

Dey da ones turn da Israel peopo away, fo go agains Da One In Charge. Dass wat wen happen Peor side. An cuz a dat, da peopo a Da One In Charge get one real bad kine sick! 17 So now, go kill all da boys, an kill ery wahine dat wen sleep wit one guy! 18 But da girls dat neva sleep wit one guy, let dem stay alive. You guys own dem.
19 “All you guys gotta stay outside da camp fo seven days—anybody dat wen kill somebody, o touch one mahke body. Day numba three an day numba seven, you guys gotta make da religious kine ceremony fo make you an da prisonas you wen catch come clean, fo you go in front God.

Kapu dem fo me from da army guys half, an give um to Eleazar da pries guy. 30 From da half from da odda Israel peopo, pick one from ery fifty, no matta peopo, cows, donkeys, sheeps, goats, o odda animals. Give um to da Levi guys dat take kea my Tent.” 31 So Moses an Eleazar da pries guy do wat Da One In Charge tell Moses fo do.
32 Da stuffs lef ova from da odda stuffs dat da army guys wen take was 675,000 sheeps, 33 72,000 cows, 34 61,000 donkeys, 35 an 32,000 wahines dat neva sleep wit one guy.

No mo even one a dem dat we neva count. 50 Cuz a dat, us guys bring dis stuff fo make one present fo Da One In Charge: da gold stuff we wen rip off, bracelets, rings, earrings, an necklaces, fo make us guys come pono wit Da One In Charge.”
