Bere a Israelfo no tenaa Sitim no, wɔn mu mmarima no bi fii ase ne Moab mmea no bɔɔ aguaman de guu wɔn ho fi.

Enti Baal a ɛwɔ Peor no som bɛyɛɛ ɔhyɛ maa Israelfo. Eyi maa Awurade bo fuw ne nkurɔfo no yiye.
4 Pamenepo Yehova anawuza Mose kuti, “Tenga atsogoleri onse a anthu awa, uwaphe poyera, pamaso pa Yehova kuti mkwiyo waukulu wa Yehova uchoke pa Israeli.”
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se, “Fa saa nnipa yi ntuanofo no nyinaa, kunkum wɔn na fa wɔn gu owia so wɔ Awurade anim sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a, nʼabufuwhyew no befi Israel so.”
5 Choncho Mose anawuza oweruza a Israeli kuti, “Aliyense wa inu ayenera kupha anthu ake amene anapembedza nawo Baala-Peori.”
Enti Mose ka kyerɛɛ Israel atemmufo no no se, “Ɛsɛ sɛ mo mu biara kunkum mo nkurɔfo a wɔde wɔn ho akɔhyɛ Baal a ɛwɔ Peor no ase no nyinaa.”
6 Kenaka mwamuna wina wa ku Israeli anabweretsa ku banja lake mkazi wa Chimidiyani pamaso pa Mose ndi anthu onse a Israeli pamene ankalira pa khomo la tenti ya msonkhano.
Na Israelni bi de Midiani bea bi baa wɔn atenae hɔ maa Mose ne nnipa no nyinaa huu wɔn bere a na wogyinagyina Ahyiae Ntamadan pon no ano retwa adwo no.
7 Finehasi mwana wa Eliezara, mwana wa wansembe Aaroni ataona izi, anachoka pa msonkhanowo, natenga mkondo mʼdzanja lake.
Bere a Pinehas a ɔyɛ Eleasar babarima a na ɔyɛ ɔsɔfo Aaron nena huu eyi no, ofii wɔn mu, kɔfaa peaw kitae;
8 Ndipo anatsatira Mwisraeliyu mpaka mʼtenti yake. Anasolola mkondowo ndi kubaya awiriwo kupyola Mwisraeliyo mpaka mʼthupi la mkaziyo. Pamenepo mliri unaleka pakati pa Aisraeli.

10 Yehova anawuza Mose kuti,
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se,
11 “Finehasi mwana wa Eliezara, mwana wa wansembe Aaroni wabweza mkwiyo wanga pa Aisraeli chifukwa sanalole kuti wina aliyense apembedze mulungu wina koma Ine ndekha. Nʼchifukwa chake sindinawawononge mu mkwiyo wanga.
“Eleasar babarima Pinehas a ɔyɛ ɔsɔfo Aaron nena ayi mʼabufuw afi Israelfo no so. Esiane sɛ wako apere mʼanuonyam wɔ wɔn mu sɛnea mepɛ ayɛ no nti, sɛnea meyɛɛ mʼadwene sɛ mɛsɛe Israelfo no, magyae.
12 Tsono muwuze kuti ndikhazikitsa pangano langa la mtendere ndi iye.
Enti ka kyerɛ no se, me ne no rebɛyɛ asomdwoe apam.
13 Ndikupangana naye pangano la unsembe wosatha, iyeyo pamodzi ndi zidzukulu zake zonse, chifukwa sanalole kuti anthu awukire Ine Mulungu, ndipo anachita ntchito yopepesera machimo Aisraeli.”
Saa apam yi mu, ɔno ne nʼasefo bɛyɛ asɔfo afebɔɔ, efisɛ watwe me ho ninkunu wɔ Israelfo mu de ayɛ mpata ama wɔn.”
14 Dzina la Mwisraeli yemwe anaphedwa ndi mkazi wa Chimidiyani anali Zimuri mwana wa Salu, mtsogoleri wa banja la Simeoni.
Ɔbarima a wokum no ne Midiani bea no, na ne din de Simri a na ɔyɛ Salu a otua Simeon abusuakuw ano no babarima.
15 Ndipo dzina la mkazi wa Chimidiyani, yemwe anaphedwayo, linali Kozibi mwana wa Zuri, mtsogoleri wa fuko la ku Midiyaniko.
Ɔbea no nso, na ne din de Kosbi a na ɔyɛ Midianhene babarima Sur babea.
16 Yehova anawuza Mose kuti,
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se,
17 “Amidiyani ndi adani anu ndipo uwaphe,
“Tow hyɛ Midianfo no so sɛ atamfo na kunkum wɔn.
18 chifukwa ankakuonani inu ngati adani awo pamene anakupusitsani pa nkhani ya ku Peori, ndiponso za mlongo wawo Kozibi, mwana wamkazi wa mtsogoleri wa Amidiyani, mkazi yemwe anaphedwa pamene mliri unabwera chifukwa cha zimene zinachitika ku Peori.”
Efisɛ wɔfaa mo sɛ atamfo, na wɔdaadaa mo ma mo som Baal a ɛwɔ Peor, ne Kosbi a ɔyɛ Midian ntuanoni babea, a wokum no wɔ Peor ɔyaredɔm da no.”
