1 Isarel teh shittim kho a sak navah, taminaw pueng teh Moab napui koe kâyo hanlah a kamtawng awh.
Now Israel, at that time, dwelt in Shittim, and the people were fornicating with the daughters of Moab,
2 A cathut koe thuengnae a sak navah, ouk a coun awh. Taminaw pueng ni a canei awh teh, a cathut koe ouk a tabo awh.
who called them to their sacrifices. And they ate, and they adored their gods.
3 Isarel teh, Peor e hmuen koe Baal hoi a kâkuet awh teh, Isarel koe BAWIPA lungkhueknae teh a kâan.
And Israel was initiated into Baal of Peor. And so the Lord, being angry,
4 BAWIPA ni Mosi koevah takikatho poung e BAWIPA lungkhueknae teh, Isarel koe lahoi a roum thai nahanlah tamimaya kahrawinaw pueng hah a ceikhai awh teh, kanîthun vah, kâtapoenaw pueng hah BAWIPA hmalah kamcengcalah kaithi sak haw telah a ti.
said to Moses, “Take all the leaders of the people, and hang them on gallows against the sun, so that my fury may be averted from Israel.”
5 Hatdawkvah, Mosi ni Isarel lawkcengkungnaw koevah, Peor hmuen koe Baal kabawknaw pueng koung thet awh telah a ti.
And Moses said to the judges of Israel, “Let each one kill his neighbors, who have been initiated into Baal of Peor.”
6 Khenhaw! Isarel catounnaw thung dawk tami buet touh ni kamkhuengnae lukkareiim takhang koe a khuika navah, Mosi mithmu hoi Isarel catoun tamimaya mithmu vah, Midian napui buet touh a hmaunawnghanaw koe a thokhai.
And behold, one of the sons of Israel entered, in the sight of his brothers, to a prostitute of Midian, within view of Moses and of all the crowd of the sons of Israel, who were weeping before the door of the tabernacle.
7 Vaihma Aron e capa Eleazar capa Phinahas ni a hmu toteh, tamimaya koehoi a thaw teh tahroe hah a la.
And when Phinehas the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, had seen it, he rose up from the midst of the multitude, and, seizing a dagger,
8 Isarelnaw teh lukkareiim thung vah a pâlei teh kahni touh roi hoi pawkkayawng lah a thut. Isarel tami hoi napui teh a vawn dawk a thut teh, Isarel catounnaw koe lacik hah a roum.
he entered after the Israelite man, into the brothel, and he pierced both of them at the same time, specifically, the man and the woman at the location of their genitals. And the scourge ceased from among the sons of Israel.
9 Hote lacik hoi kadoutnaw teh 24000 touh a pha.
And there were slain twenty-four thousand men.
10 BAWIPA ni Mosi hah a pato teh,
And the Lord said to Moses:
11 vaihma Aron capa Eleazar capa Phinehas ni Isarel catounnaw koe ka lungkhueknae ka roum sak toe. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ka lungkhueknae ni Isarel catounnaw a raphoe hoeh nahanelah, ahnimouh rahak ka dipmanae patetlah a kâdipma awh van han.
“Phinehas the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, has averted my wrath from the sons of Israel. For he was moved against them by my zeal, so that I myself, in my zeal, might not wipe away the sons of Israel.
12 Hatdawkvah, khenhaw! roumnae ka lawkkam teh, ama koevah ka poe.
Because of this, say to him: Behold, I give to him the peace of my covenant.
13 Ama hoi a catounnaw hanlah, a yungyoe vaihma lah a onae lawkkam lah ao han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, dipma Cathut teh, Isarel catounnaw hanlah yonthanae a sak tet awh telah a ti.
And the covenant of the everlasting priesthood shall be as much for him as for his offspring. For he was zealous on behalf of his God, and he has made expiation for the wickedness of the sons of Israel.”
14 Isarelnaw Midian napui hoi a thei awh e min teh Simeonnaw thung dawk imthungkhu kahrawikung Salu capa Zimri doeh.
Now the name of the Israelite man, who was killed with the Midianite woman, was Zimri the son of Salu, a leader from the kinship and tribe of Simeon.
15 Midian napui a thei awh e min teh Midian imthungkhu kahrawikung Zur canu Kozbi doeh.
Moreover, the Midianite woman, who was put to death together with him, was called Cozbi the daughter of Zur, a most noble leader among the Midianites.
16 BAWIPA ni Mosi a pato teh,
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
17 Midiannaw teh reksaueng nateh tuk awh.
“Let the Midianites perceive you as enemies, and strike them down,
18 Bangkongtetpawiteh, Peor kecu dawk lacik a tho navah, a tawncanu, Midiannaw kahrawikung canu Kozbi a thei awh e kong dawkvah, nangmouh lathueng kalanhoehe hno sak hoi na tarawk awh toe telah ati.
for they, too, have behaved with hostility against you, and they have deceived you insidiously by means of the idol Peor, and by Cozbi, the daughter of a commander of Midian, their sister, who was struck down in the day of the scourge because of the sacrilege of Peor.”
