Nambar 25

1 Israel kaminawk Shittim ah oh o naah, Moab canunawk hoiah nongpa nongpata zaehaih sak amtong o.

And Israel sojourned in Sattin, and the people profaned itself by going a-whoring after the daughters of Moab.

2 To nongpatanawk mah angmacae sithaw angbawnhaih ahmuen ah Israel kaminawk angzoh thai hanah pacae o; to kaminawk loe angbawnhaih buh aan to caak o moe, to ih sithawnawk hma ah akuep o.

And they called them to the sacrifices of their idols; and the people ate of their sacrifices, and worshipped their idols.

3 To tiah Israel kaminawk mah Peor ahmuen ah Baal to bok o pongah, Angraeng palungphuihaih Israel kaminawk nuiah phak.

And Israel consecrated themselves to Beel-phegor; and the Lord was very angry with Israel.

4 To naah Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah, Hae kami zaehoikungnawk to kawk boih ah loe, zit kathok Angraeng palungphuihaih Israel khae hoi dip thai hanah, nihcae to khodai ah Angraeng hmaa ah qui hoiah bang ah, tiah a naa.

And the Lord said to Moses, Take all the princes of the people, and make them examples [of judgement] for the Lord in the face of the sun, and the anger of the Lord shall be turned away from Israel.

5 To pongah Mosi mah Israel lokcaekkungnawk khaeah, Baal-Peor bokhaih ahmuen ah caeh kaminawk boih to hum oh, tiah a naa.

And Moses said to the tribes of Israel, Slay you every one his friend that is consecrated to Beel-phegor.

6 Khenah, Israel kami maeto mah, Mosi hoi amkhuenghaih kahni im thok taengah kaqah, kamkhueng angmah ih nawkamya Israel kaminawk boih hma ah, Midian nongpata maeto angzoh haih.

And, behold, a man of the children of Israel came and brought his brother to a Madianitish woman before Moses, and before all the congregation of the children of Israel; and they were weeping at the door of the tabernacle of witness.

7 Qaima Aaron capa Eleazar, Eleazar capa Phinehas mah anih to hnuk naah, anih mah tayae to ban ah sin, kamkhueng kaminawk salak hoiah angthawk moe,

And Phinees the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw it, and rose out of the midst of the congregation, and took a javelin in his hand,

8 to tiah zaehaih sah Israel kami ohhaih kahni im khoek to a pangh pacoengah, Israel kami hoi to nongpata to tayae hoiah zok ah takhawh hmaek. To naah Israel salak ih nathaih kasae to dip.

and went in after the Israelitish man into the chamber, and pierced them both through, both the Israelitish man, and the woman through her womb; and the plague was stayed from the children of Israel.

9 Toe to ih kasae nathaih pongah kami sing hnet, sang palito duek o.

And those that died in the plague were four and twenty thousand.

10 Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah,

And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

11 Qaima Aaron capa Eleazar, Eleazar capa Phinehas loe, kai pakoehhaih bangah palungthin thacak kami ah oh pongah, Israel kaminawk ka hum han ai ah, Israel nuiah palung ka phuihaih to anih mah dipsak boeh.

Phinees the son of Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest has caused my wrath to cease from the children of Israel, when I was exceedingly jealous amongst them, and I did not consume the children of Israel in my jealousy.

12 To pongah, Khenah, anih khaeah angdaeh lokmaihaih to ka paek boeh;

Thus do you say [to him], Behold, I give him a covenant of peace:

13 anih loe Sithaw bokhaih bangah palungthin thacak moe, Israel kaminawk zae loih thai hanah, angbawnhaih a sak pongah, angmah hoi a caanawk khoek to dungzan ah qaima toksak hanah lokmaihaih to hnu tih, tiah a thuih pae.

and he and his seed after him shall have a perpetual covenant of priesthood, because he was zealous for his God, and made atonement for the children of Israel.

14 Midian nongpata hoi nawnto hum ih Israel kami ahmin loe, Simeon acaeng zaehoikung ah kaom, Salu ih capa Zimri.

Now the name of the struck Israelitish man, who was struck with the Madianitish woman, [was] Zambri son of Salmon, prince of a house of the tribe of Symeon.

15 Hum ih Midian nongpata ahmin loe, Midian imthung takoh lu koek ah kaom, Zur canu Gozbi.

And the name of the Madianitish woman who was struck, [was] Chasbi, daughter of Sur, a prince of the nation of Ommoth: it is a chief house amongst the people of Madiam.

16 Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah,

And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, Speak to the children of Israel, saying,

17 Midian kaminawk to na misa baktiah poek ah loe hum ah;

Plague the Madianites as enemies, and strike them,

18 Peor sithaw to bok pongah, nathaih kasae phakhaih niah hum ih, Midian kaminawk zaehoikung ih canu, nihcae ih tanu ah kaom, Gozbi hoi Peor kawng pongah, nangcae to ang ling o boeh, tiah a naa.

for they are enemies to you by the treachery wherein they ensnare you through Phogor, and through Chasbi their sister, daughter of a prince of Madiam, who was struck in the day of the plague because of Phogor.
