Kwan 25
1 Kane oyudo jo-Israel odak Shitim, chwo nochako terore gi monde jo-Moab,
While Israel was staying in Shittim, the men began to indulge in sexual immorality with the daughters of Moab,
2 mane ogwelogi e chiwo misengini ne nyisechegi. Ji nochiemo moyiengʼ kendo negipodho auma ka gilamo nyisechegi.
who also invited them to the sacrifices for their gods. And the people ate and bowed down to these gods.
3 Omiyo Israel noriwore kodgi e yor lamo Baal mar Peor. Kendo mirima nomako Jehova Nyasaye ahinya kodgi.
So Israel joined in worshiping Baal of Peor, and the anger of the LORD burned against them.
4 Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa niya, “Kaw jotend jogi duto, neg-gi kendo dhurgi e lela e nyim Jehova Nyasaye, mondo omi mirimb Jehova Nyasaye owuog kuom Israel.”
Then the LORD said to Moses, “Take all the leaders of the people and execute them in broad daylight before the LORD, so that His fierce anger may turn away from Israel.”
5 Omiyo Musa nowacho ne jongʼad bura mag Israel niya, “Ngʼato ka ngʼato kuomu nyaka neg jou machwo ma oseriwore e lamo Baal mar Peor.”
So Moses told the judges of Israel, “Each of you must kill all of his men who have joined in worshiping Baal of Peor.”
6 Eka ja-Israel moro nobiro gi nyar jo-Midian e hembe ka Musa neno kaachiel gi oganda jo-Israel duto mane oyudo ywak e dho Hemb Romo.
Just then an Israelite man brought to his family a Midianite woman in the sight of Moses and the whole congregation of Israel while they were weeping at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.
7 Kane Finehas wuod Eliazar, ma wuod Harun jadolo, noneno ma, nowuok e chokruokno, mokawo tongʼ e lwete,
On seeing this, Phinehas son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, got up from the assembly, took a spear in his hand,
8 kendo noluwo bangʼ ja-Israelno nyaka e hema. Nochwowogi duto moriwogi gi tongʼ. Eka tho mane osenego jo-Israel norumo;
followed the Israelite into his tent, and drove the spear through both of them—through the Israelite and on through the belly of the woman. So the plague against the Israelites was halted,
9 to ji mane tho ma kamano onego ne gin ji alufu piero ariyo gangʼwen.
but those who died in the plague numbered 24,000.
10 Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa niya,
Then the LORD said to Moses,
11 “Finehas wuod Eliazar, ma wuod Harun jadolo, osetieko mirimba kuom jo-Israel; nimar en gi nyiego machal gi mara; mano emomiyo ne ok atiekogi kata obedo nine an kod mirima kodgi kamano.
“Phinehas son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, has turned My wrath away from the Israelites; for he was zealous for My sake among them, so that I did not consume the Israelites in My zeal.
12 Emomiyo nyise ni aloso singruok mar kwe kode.
Declare, therefore, that I am granting him My covenant of peace.
13 Asingorane ni en kod nyikwaye ginibed jodolo maga nyaka chiengʼ, nikech ne en jasinani kuom miyo Nyasache duongʼ kendo negichiwo misango mar pwodho jo-Israel e richo.”
It will be a covenant of permanent priesthood for him and his descendants, because he was zealous for his God and made atonement for the Israelites.”
14 Nying ja-Israel mane onegi gi nyar jo-Midian ne en Zimri wuod Salu, mane en jatend dhood Simeon.
The name of the Israelite who was slain with the Midianite woman was Zimri son of Salu, the leader of a Simeonite family.
15 To nying nyar jo-Midian mane onegi ne en Kozbi ma nyar Zur, ma wuon-gi ne en jatend dhood jo-Midian.
And the name of the slain Midianite woman was Cozbi, the daughter of Zur, a tribal chief of a Midianite family.
16 Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa niya,
And the LORD said to Moses,
17 “Sanduru jo-Midian kendo uneg-gi,
“Attack the Midianites and strike them dead.
18 nikech ne githagou gi timbegi maricho mane gitimo Peor kendo kuom wach Kozbi ma nyar jatend Midian mane onegi ndalo mane yamb tho obiro nikech gima notimore Peor.”
For they assailed you deceitfully when they seduced you in the matter of Peor and their sister Cozbi, the daughter of the Midianite leader, the woman who was killed on the day the plague came because of Peor.”
