Lampahnah 25
1 Israel te Shittim ah kho a sak vaengah pilnam tah cukhalh hamla Moab nu rhoek taengah poeih uh.
And Israel dwelleth in Shittim, and the people begin to go a-whoring unto 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 call for the people to the sacrifices of their gods, and the people eat, and bow themselves to their gods,
3 Tedae Israel te Baalpeor neh a sun uh dongah BOEIPA kah thintoek tah Israel taengah sai.
and Israel is joined to Baal-Peor, and the anger of Jehovah burneth against 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 Jehovah saith unto Moses, 'Take all the chiefs of the people, and hang them before Jehovah — over-against the sun; and the fierceness of the anger of Jehovah doth turn back 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 saith unto the judges of Israel, 'Slay ye each his men who are joined to Baal-Peor.'
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 lo, a man of the sons of Israel hath come, and bringeth in unto his brethren the Midianitess, before the eyes of Moses, and before the eyes of all the company of the sons of Israel, who are weeping at the opening of the tent of meeting;
7 Khosoih Aaron capa Eleazar koca Phinekha loh a hmuh vaengah rhaengpuei lakli lamloh thoo tih a kut dongah cai a muk.
and Phinehas, son of Eleazar, son of Aaron, the priest, seeth, and riseth from the midst of the company, and taketh 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 goeth in after the man of Israel unto the hollow place, and pierceth them both, the man of Israel and the woman — unto her belly, and the plague is restrained from the sons of Israel;
9 Tedae lucik ah aka duek he thawng kul thawng li lo.
and the dead by the plague are four and twenty thousand.
10 Te phoeiah BOEIPA loh Moses te a voek tih,
And Jehovah speaketh unto 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.
'Phinehas, son of Eleazar, son of Aaron the priest, hath turned back My fury from the sons of Israel, by his being zealous with My zeal in their midst, and I have not consumed the sons of Israel in My zeal.
12 Te dongah thui pah, ka paipi he a taengah rhoepnah la ka paek coeng.
'Therefore say, Lo, I am giving to him My 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 it hath been to him and to his seed after him a covenant of a priesthood age-during, because that he hath been zealous for his God, and doth make atonement for the sons 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,
And the name of the man of Israel who is smitten, who hath been smitten with the Midianitess, [is] Zimri son of Salu, prince of the house of a father of the Simeonite;
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 woman who is smitten, the Midianitess, [is] Cozbi daughter of Zur, head of a people — of the house of a father in Midian [is] he.
16 Te phoeiah BOEIPA loh Moses te a voek tih,
And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
17 “Median te daengdaeh lamtah amih te ngawn.
'Distress the Midianites, and ye have smitten 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 adversaries to you with their frauds, [with] which they have acted fraudulently to you, concerning the matter of Peor, and concerning the matter of Cozbi, daughter of a prince of Midian, their sister, who is smitten in the day of the plague for the matter of Peor.'
