Minbu 25
1 Israel mite chu Acacia Grove mun’a aum laitah uchun Pasal chengse Moab mite numeiho toh ajong tauve.
When the Israelites were staying at Shittim the men started to have sex with Moabite women
2 Hiche Moab numei techun a Pathen kom uvah kilhan doh din atem uvin ahi. Israel mite chun akilhan na thilho’u chu ane uvin hiche a pathen angsung uvah jong abohkhup tauve.
who invited them to the sacrifices made to their gods. The Israelites ate the pagan meals and bowed down before these gods.
3 Hiti pichun Israel miten Baal-Peor kiti ahou uchu ajop tauvin; Pathen lunghan na chu ahung deu jah jeng tai.
In this way the Israelites devoted themselves in worship to Baal of Peor, and the Lord was angry with them.
4 Pathen in Mose chu a houlimpin hiche mite lamkai hohi kou khom un Pathen masang ah; sunkim laitah leh amaho hinkhom in alamkai na’u lahdoh pehtan, hiche jeh achu Israel mite chunga Pathen lunghanna aki chon mang thei na ding in, ati.
The Lord told Moses, “Arrest all the Israelite leaders and kill them before the Lord where everyone can see in order to turn the Lord's furious anger away from the people.”
5 Hichun Mose’n Israelte Thutan lamkai ho thu atan tai: Nang hon namite lah uva koi hitajong leh Baal-Peor hou nungjui jouse na thadoh diu ahi ati.
So Moses instructed Israel's judges, “Each of you has to kill all of your men who have devoted themselves to worshiping Baal of Peor.”
6 Hichun Israel mi khat nin Ama insung mite masanga Midian numei khat Mose masang laitah achun ahin puilut’e; Hichu Israel mipite chu houbuh masanga kap le maova aum lai tah u ahiye.
Right then an Israelite man brought a Midianite woman to his family tent in full view of Moses and all the Israelites as they were crying at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.
7 Chuin Phinehas kiti Eleazer chapa Aaron thempu pa tupa chun amu phat in, Israel mipi kikhopna chu a dalhan, achom doh phut in, a khutna tengcha a kichoi jin ahi.
When he saw this, Phinehas, son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, left the assembly, grabbed a spear
8 Apon buh sunggei ajui lut in, A tengpi hin choi chun Pasal pa tahsa leh numeinu oipoh chu asun peijin akilbeh tha jeng tai. Hiche jeh chun Israel mite chunga gotna Hise lang chu atang hel tai.
and followed the man into his tent. There Phinehas drove the spear through both of them, through the Israelite and on into the woman's stomach. This action stopped the plague that had started to kill the Israelites,
9 Pul’a thi mi jat mong mong chu sang-somni le sangli ahi.
but 24,000 had already died.
10 Chuin Pakaiyin Mose henga hiti hin thu aseiyin ahi.
The Lord told Moses,
11 Eleazer chapa Phenahas kiti Aaron thempu tupa ama tah hin Israel chate chunga ka lung hanna jouse eisuh mang peh’a; ei kipasah ahitai. Ajeh chu amapa hi keima dinga thangtom tah leh gunchu tah in apang in, hiche ho jeh a chu Israel chate ka suh mang lou ding ahi tai, tin a seije.
“Phinehas son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, has turned my anger away from the Israelites, because out of all of them he was passionately dedicated to me, so I did not destroy the Israelites in my passionate anger.
12 Tun ama ga seipeh un; Israel te chungah Cham le lungmon anei tah diuvin kitepna kabol e.
So make an announcement that I am granting him my peace agreement.
13 Ka kitepna ahin keiman Ama ahin Ama chilhah ho chunga atonsot na thempu phunga ka semdoh ding ahi ajeh chu Phenehas chu a Pathen ding’a thang tom tah a pang ahi tan Israel chate ding a ki suhtheng na maicham sem dohpa kiti ding ahi tai.
It will be an agreement that ensures a permanent priesthood for him and his descendants, because he was passionately dedicated to his God and set the Israelites right.”
14 Midian numei toh thi khom pasal pa min chu Zimri ahin, Salu chapa ahin Simeon phung lamkai pa chilhah ho ahi.
The name of the Israelite who was killed with the Midianite woman was Zimri, son of Salu, a family leader of the tribe of Simeon.
15 Chuleh Midian numei thina toh chu ahi leh Cozbi akitin Zur chanu ahin Zur chu ahile Midian te insung phung lamkai ahi.
The name of the Midianite woman who was killed was Cozbi, daughter of Zur, a family leader of a Midianite tribe.
16 Chuin PakaiyinMose henga thu hiti hin aseiyin ahi.
The Lord told Moses,
17 Midian mite chu sugimtan chule amaho chunga gimna nalhunsah ding ahi, ati.
“Attack the Midianites and kill them,
18 Ajeh chu Moab mite in na suhgam thei’u ahin Peor Baal kimanchah na dung juiya Cozbi thua jong nabol sahtan, Midian te lamkai pa chanu jong chu pulla thi lo ahitai. Ijeh nam itileh Peor Baar jeh a hichu lhung ahiye.
because they attacked you deceptively, leading you astray by using Peor and their woman Cozbi, the daughter of the Midianite leader—the woman who was killed on the day the plague came because of their devotion to Peor.”
