< Numbers 25 >

1 While Israel was staying in Shittim, the men began to indulge in sexual immorality with the daughters of Moab,
Israel te Shittim ah kho a sak vaengah pilnam tah cukhalh hamla Moab nu rhoek taengah poeih uh.
2 who also invited them to the sacrifices for their gods. And the people ate and bowed down to these gods.
Te vaengah pilnam te amih kah pathen hmueih kung la a khue uh. Te dongah pilnam loh a caak tih amih kah pathen taengah bakop uh.
3 So Israel joined in worshiping Baal of Peor, and the anger of the LORD burned against them.
Tedae Israel te Baalpeor neh a sun uh dongah BOEIPA kah thintoek tah Israel taengah sai.
4 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.”
Te vaengah BOEIPA loh Moses te, “Pilnam kah a lu boeih te khuen lamtah amih te khosae kah BOEIPA hmai ah hoeng laeh. Te daengah ni BOEIPA kah thintoek thinsa he Israel lamloh a mael eh?,” a ti nah.
5 So Moses told the judges of Israel, “Each of you must kill all of his men who have joined in worshiping Baal of Peor.”
Te dongah Moses loh Israel kah laitloek rhoek taengah, “A hlang rhoek khuiah Baalpeor taengla aka sun hlang te ngawn,” a ti nah.
6 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.
Te vaengah Israel ca rhoek khui lamkah hlang pakhat te pakcak ha pawk tih a manuca rhoek taengkah Moses mikhmuh neh tingtunnah dap thohka kah aka rhap Israel ca rhaengpuei boeih kah mikhmuh ah Median nu te a khuen pah.
7 On seeing this, Phinehas son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, got up from the assembly, took a spear in his hand,
Khosoih Aaron capa Eleazar koca Phinekha loh a hmuh vaengah rhaengpuei lakli lamloh thoo tih a kut dongah cai a muk.
8 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,
Te phoeiah Israel hlang hnukah popuei khuila kun tih a boktlap la Israel tongpa neh huta te a kotak hil a thun. Te daengah lucik khaw Israel ca taeng lamloh cing.
9 but those who died in the plague numbered 24,000.
Tedae lucik ah aka duek he thawng kul thawng li lo.
10 Then the LORD said to Moses,
Te phoeiah BOEIPA loh Moses te a voek tih,
11 “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.
“Amih lakli ah ka thatlainah neh ka thatlai vaengah Khosoih Aaron capa Eleazar koca Phinekha loh ka kosi te Israel ca rhoek taeng lamkah a mael sak. Te dongah ni Israel ca rhoek te ka thatlainah neh ka khah pawh.
12 Declare, therefore, that I am granting him My covenant of peace.
Te dongah thui pah, ka paipi he a taengah rhoepnah la ka paek coeng.
13 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.”
A Pathen ham a thatlai pah tih Israel ca rhoek ham a dawth pah yueng te anih ham neh amah hnukkah a tiingan ham kumhal ah khosoihbi paipi la om ni,” a ti nah.
14 The name of the Israelite who was slain with the Midianite woman was Zimri son of Salu, the leader of a Simeonite family.
Te vaengah Median nu neh a ngawn la a ngawn Israel hlang a ming tah, Simeon napa im kah khoboei Salu capa Zimri,
15 And the name of the slain Midianite woman was Cozbi, the daughter of Zur, a tribal chief of a Midianite family.
Median nu a ngawn uh kah a ming tah amah Midian khuiah a napa im kah namtu boeilu, Zur canu Kozbi ni.
16 And the LORD said to Moses,
Te phoeiah BOEIPA loh Moses te a voek tih,
17 “Attack the Midianites and strike them dead.
“Median te daengdaeh lamtah amih te ngawn.
18 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.”
Amih loh nangmih te a rhaithinah neh n'daengdaeh. Peor kah ol dongah khaw Midian khoboei canu Kozbi kah ol dongah nangmih te n'rhaithi bal. Peor ol bangla a tanu te lucik hnin ah ngawn,” a ti nah.
