Numbers 25
1 And Israel abode in Shittim. And the people began to play the harlot with the daughters of Moab,
Aisraeli akukhala ku Sitimu, anayamba kuchita chigololo ndi akazi a ku Mowabu,
2 for they called the people to the sacrifices of their gods. And the people ate, and bowed down to their gods.
amene ankawayitana ku nsembe za milungu yawo. Anthuwo anadya chakudya chopereka kwa milungu ndi kupembedza milunguyo.
3 And Israel joined himself to Baal-peor, and the anger of Jehovah was kindled against Israel.
Motero Aisraeli anapembedza nawo Baala-Peori ndipo Yehova anawapsera mtima kwambiri.
4 And Jehovah said to Moses, Take all the chiefs of the people, and hang them up to Jehovah before the sun, that the fierce anger of Jehovah may turn away from Israel.
Pamenepo Yehova anawuza Mose kuti, “Tenga atsogoleri onse a anthu awa, uwaphe poyera, pamaso pa Yehova kuti mkwiyo waukulu wa Yehova uchoke pa Israeli.”
5 And Moses said to the judges of Israel, Kill ye every one his men who have joined themselves to Baal-peor.
Choncho Mose anawuza oweruza a Israeli kuti, “Aliyense wa inu ayenera kupha anthu ake amene anapembedza nawo Baala-Peori.”
6 And, behold, one of the sons of Israel came and brought to his brothers a Midianite woman in the sight of Moses, and in the sight of all the congregation of the sons of Israel, while they were weeping at the door of the tent of meeting.
Kenaka mwamuna wina wa ku Israeli anabweretsa ku banja lake mkazi wa Chimidiyani pamaso pa Mose ndi anthu onse a Israeli pamene ankalira pa khomo la tenti ya msonkhano.
7 And when Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw it, he rose up from the midst of the congregation, and took a spear in his hand.
Finehasi mwana wa Eliezara, mwana wa wansembe Aaroni ataona izi, anachoka pa msonkhanowo, natenga mkondo mʼdzanja lake.
8 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 body. So the plague was stayed from the sons of Israel.
Ndipo anatsatira Mwisraeliyu mpaka mʼtenti yake. Anasolola mkondowo ndi kubaya awiriwo kupyola Mwisraeliyo mpaka mʼthupi la mkaziyo. Pamenepo mliri unaleka pakati pa Aisraeli.
9 And those who died by the plague were twenty-four thousand.
Pa mliriwo, anthu okwana 24,000 anafa.
10 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Yehova anawuza Mose kuti,
11 Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, has turned my wrath away from the sons of Israel, in that he was jealous with my jealousy among them, so that I did not consume the sons of Israel in my jealousy.
“Finehasi mwana wa Eliezara, mwana wa wansembe Aaroni wabweza mkwiyo wanga pa Aisraeli chifukwa sanalole kuti wina aliyense apembedze mulungu wina koma Ine ndekha. Nʼchifukwa chake sindinawawononge mu mkwiyo wanga.
12 Therefore say, Behold, I give to him my covenant of peace.
Tsono muwuze kuti ndikhazikitsa pangano langa la mtendere ndi iye.
13 And it shall be to him, and to his seed after him, the covenant of an everlasting priesthood, because he was jealous for his God, and made atonement for the sons of Israel.
Ndikupangana naye pangano la unsembe wosatha, iyeyo pamodzi ndi zidzukulu zake zonse, chifukwa sanalole kuti anthu awukire Ine Mulungu, ndipo anachita ntchito yopepesera machimo Aisraeli.”
14 Now the name of the man of Israel who was slain, who was slain with the Midianite woman, was Zimri, the son of Salu, a ruler of a fathers' house among the Simeonites.
Dzina la Mwisraeli yemwe anaphedwa ndi mkazi wa Chimidiyani anali Zimuri mwana wa Salu, mtsogoleri wa banja la Simeoni.
15 And the name of the Midianite woman who was slain was Cozbi, the daughter of Zur. He was head of the people of a fathers' house in Midian.
Ndipo dzina la mkazi wa Chimidiyani, yemwe anaphedwayo, linali Kozibi mwana wa Zuri, mtsogoleri wa fuko la ku Midiyaniko.
16 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Yehova anawuza Mose kuti,
17 Vex the Midianites, and smite them,
“Amidiyani ndi adani anu ndipo uwaphe,
18 for they vex you with their wiles, with which they have beguiled you in the matter of Peor, and in the matter of Cozbi, the daughter of the ruler of Midian, their sister, who was slain on the day of the plague in the matter of Peor.
chifukwa ankakuonani inu ngati adani awo pamene anakupusitsani pa nkhani ya ku Peori, ndiponso za mlongo wawo Kozibi, mwana wamkazi wa mtsogoleri wa Amidiyani, mkazi yemwe anaphedwa pamene mliri unabwera chifukwa cha zimene zinachitika ku Peori.”
