Lampahnah 25

1 Israel te Shittim ah kho a sak vaengah pilnam tah cukhalh hamla Moab nu rhoek taengah poeih uh.

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

2 Te vaengah pilnam te amih kah pathen hmueih kung la a khue uh. Te dongah pilnam loh a caak tih amih kah pathen taengah bakop uh.

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

3 Tedae Israel te Baalpeor neh a sun uh dongah BOEIPA kah thintoek tah Israel taengah sai.

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

4 Te vaengah BOEIPA loh Moses te, “Pilnam kah a lu boeih te khuen lamtah amih te khosae kah BOEIPA hmai ah hoeng laeh. Te daengah ni BOEIPA kah thintoek thinsa he Israel lamloh a mael eh?,” a ti nah.

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

5 Te dongah Moses loh Israel kah laitloek rhoek taengah, “A hlang rhoek khuiah Baalpeor taengla aka sun hlang te ngawn,” a ti nah.

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

6 Te vaengah Israel ca rhoek khui lamkah hlang pakhat te pakcak ha pawk tih a manuca rhoek taengkah Moses mikhmuh neh tingtunnah dap thohka kah aka rhap Israel ca rhaengpuei boeih kah mikhmuh ah Median nu te a khuen pah.

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 Khosoih Aaron capa Eleazar koca Phinekha loh a hmuh vaengah rhaengpuei lakli lamloh thoo tih a kut dongah cai a muk.

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 Te phoeiah Israel hlang hnukah popuei khuila kun tih a boktlap la Israel tongpa neh huta te a kotak hil a thun. Te daengah lucik khaw Israel ca taeng lamloh cing.

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 Tedae lucik ah aka duek he thawng kul thawng li lo.

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

10 Te phoeiah BOEIPA loh Moses te a voek tih,

And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

11 “Amih lakli ah ka thatlainah neh ka thatlai vaengah Khosoih Aaron capa Eleazar koca Phinekha loh ka kosi te Israel ca rhoek taeng lamkah a mael sak. Te dongah ni Israel ca rhoek te ka thatlainah neh ka khah pawh.

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 among them, and I did not consume the children of Israel in my jealousy.

12 Te dongah thui pah, ka paipi he a taengah rhoepnah la ka paek coeng.

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

13 A Pathen ham a thatlai pah tih Israel ca rhoek ham a dawth pah yueng te anih ham neh amah hnukkah a tiingan ham kumhal ah khosoihbi paipi la om ni,” a ti nah.

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 Te vaengah Median nu neh a ngawn la a ngawn Israel hlang a ming tah, Simeon napa im kah khoboei Salu capa Zimri,

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

15 Median nu a ngawn uh kah a ming tah amah Midian khuiah a napa im kah namtu boeilu, Zur canu Kozbi ni.

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

16 Te phoeiah BOEIPA loh Moses te a voek tih,

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

17 “Median te daengdaeh lamtah amih te ngawn.

Plague the Madianites as enemies, and smite them,

18 Amih loh nangmih te a rhaithinah neh n'daengdaeh. Peor kah ol dongah khaw Midian khoboei canu Kozbi kah ol dongah nangmih te n'rhaithi bal. Peor ol bangla a tanu te lucik hnin ah ngawn,” a ti nah.

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 smitten in the day of the plague because of Phogor.
