Kwan 25
1 Kane oyudo jo-Israel odak Shitim, chwo nochako terore gi monde jo-Moab,
And Israel remained among the acacias, —and the people began to go away unchastely unto the daughters of Moab;
2 mane ogwelogi e chiwo misengini ne nyisechegi. Ji nochiemo moyiengʼ kendo negipodho auma ka gilamo nyisechegi.
who invited the people unto the sacrifices of their gods, —so the people did eat, and did bow themselves down unto their gods.
3 Omiyo Israel noriwore kodgi e yor lamo Baal mar Peor. Kendo mirima nomako Jehova Nyasaye ahinya kodgi.
Thus Israel let himself be bound unto Baal-peor, and the anger of Yahweh kindled upon 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 Yahweh said unto Moses—Take all the heads of the people, and crucify them unto Yahweh. in the face of the sun, —that the heat of the anger of Yahweh 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.”
And Moses said unto the judges of Israel, —Slay ye each one his men, who have let themselves he bound 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 lo! a man of the sons of Israel coming in, who brought near unto his brethren a Midianite woman, before the eyes of Moses, and before the eyes of all the assembly of the sons of Israel, when they were weeping at the entrance of the tent of meeting.
7 Kane Finehas wuod Eliazar, ma wuod Harun jadolo, noneno ma, nowuok e chokruokno, mokawo tongʼ e lwete,
And Phinehas son of Eleazar, son of Aaron the priest saw it, so he rose up out of the midst of the assembly, and 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;
and went in after the man of Israel into the pleasure-tent, and thrust both of them through, the man of Israel and the woman, in her parts of shame, —so the plague was restrained from against the sons of Israel.
9 to ji mane tho ma kamano onego ne gin ji alufu piero ariyo gangʼwen.
Then was it found that they who had died by the plague were four and twenty thousand.
10 Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa niya,
Then spake Yahweh 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 son of Eleazar son of Aaron the priest, hath turned back my wrath from against the sons of Israel, in that he was jealous with my jealousy, in their midst, so that I made not an end of the sons of Israel. in my jealousy.
12 Emomiyo nyise ni aloso singruok mar kwe kode.
Wherefore say, —Behold me! giving 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.”
so shall it prove to be unto him and unto his seed after him, the covenant of our age-abiding priesthood, because he was jealous for his God, and did put a propitiatory-covering over the sons 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 man of Israel that was smitten, who was smitten with the Midianitish woman, was Zimri son of Salu, —prince of an ancestral house of 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 woman who was smitten, the Midianitess, was Cozbi, daughter of Zur, —the head of his kindred, of an ancestral house in Midian, was he.
16 Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa niya,
And Yahweh spake unto Moses saying:
17 “Sanduru jo-Midian kendo uneg-gi,
Besiege the Midianites, —and ye shall 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, besiegers, were they unto you, with their wiles wherewith they beguiled you, over the matter of Peor, —and over he matter of Cozbi, daughter of a prince of Midian, their sister, who was smitten in the day of the plague, over the matter of Peor.
