Kwan 25
1 Kane oyudo jo-Israel odak Shitim, chwo nochako terore gi monde jo-Moab,
And Israel abode in Shittim, and the people began to commit whoredom with the daughters of Moab.
2 mane ogwelogi e chiwo misengini ne nyisechegi. Ji nochiemo moyiengʼ kendo negipodho auma ka gilamo nyisechegi.
And they called the people unto the sacrifices of their gods: and the people did eat, and bowed down to their gods.
3 Omiyo Israel noriwore kodgi e yor lamo Baal mar Peor. Kendo mirima nomako Jehova Nyasaye ahinya kodgi.
And Israel joined himself unto Baal-peor: and the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel.
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.”
And the LORD said unto Moses, Take all the heads of the people, and hang them up before the LORD against the sun, that the fierce anger of the LORD may be turned 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.”
And Moses said unto the judges of Israel, Slay ye every one his men that were joined unto Baal-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.
And, behold, one of the children of Israel came and brought unto his brethren a Midianitish woman in the sight of Moses, and in the sight of all the congregation of the children of Israel, who [were] weeping [before] the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
7 Kane Finehas wuod Eliazar, ma wuod Harun jadolo, noneno ma, nowuok e chokruokno, mokawo tongʼ e lwete,
And when Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw [it], he rose up from among the congregation, and took a javelin in his hand;
8 kendo noluwo bangʼ ja-Israelno nyaka e hema. Nochwowogi duto moriwogi gi tongʼ. Eka tho mane osenego jo-Israel norumo;
And he went after the man of Israel into the tent, and thrust both of them through, the man of Israel, and the woman through her belly. So the plague was stayed from the children of Israel.
9 to ji mane tho ma kamano onego ne gin ji alufu piero ariyo gangʼwen.
And those that died in the plague were twenty and four thousand.
10 Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa niya,
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
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, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, hath turned my wrath away from the children of Israel, while he was zealous for my sake among them, that I consumed not the children of Israel in my jealousy.
12 Emomiyo nyise ni aloso singruok mar kwe kode.
Wherefore say, Behold, I give unto 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.”
And he shall have it, and his seed after him, [even] the covenant of an everlasting priesthood; because he was zealous for his God, and made an atonement for the children of Israel.
14 Nying ja-Israel mane onegi gi nyar jo-Midian ne en Zimri wuod Salu, mane en jatend dhood Simeon.
Now the name of the Israelite that was slain, [even] that was slain with the Midianitish woman, [was] Zimri, the son of Salu, a prince of a chief house among the Simeonites.
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 Midianitish woman that was slain [was] Cozbi, the daughter of Zur; he [was] head over a people, [and] of a chief house in Midian.
16 Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa niya,
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
17 “Sanduru jo-Midian kendo uneg-gi,
Vex the Midianites, and smite them:
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 vex you with their wiles, wherewith they have beguiled you in the matter of Peor, and in the matter of Cozbi, the daughter of a prince of Midian, their sister, which was slain in the day of the plague for Peor’s sake.
