Numbers 25
1 Now when Israel was living in Shittim the people became false to the Lord, doing evil with the daughters of Moab:
Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa andũ a Isiraeli maikaraga Shitimu-rĩ, arũme a Isiraeli makĩambĩrĩria gũtharia na andũ-a-nja a Moabi,
2 For they sent for the people to be present at the offerings made to their gods; and the people took part in their feasts and gave honour to their gods.
arĩa mameetaga magongona-inĩ ma ngai ciao. Andũ acio a Isiraeli makĩrĩa na makĩinamĩrĩra mbere ya ngai icio.
3 So Israel had relations with the women of Moab in honour of the Baal of Peor: and the Lord was moved to wrath against Israel.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio andũ a Isiraeli makĩnyiitanĩra nao kũhooya ngai ya Baali ya Peori. Namo marakara ma Jehova makĩmarĩrĩmbũkĩra.
4 Then the Lord said to Moses, Take all the chiefs of the people, hanging them up in the sun before the Lord, so that the wrath of the Lord may be turned from Israel.
Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ, “Oya atongoria othe a andũ aya, ũmoorage na ũmaanĩke mũthenya barigici mbere ya Jehova, nĩguo marakara mahiũ ma Jehova matigakinyĩrĩre andũ a Isiraeli.”
5 So Moses said to the judges of Israel, Let everyone put to death those of his men who have had relations with the women of Moab in honour of the Baal of Peor.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Musa akĩĩra aciirithania a Isiraeli atĩrĩ, “O mũndũ wanyu no nginya oorage arũme anyu arĩa manyiitanĩire na andũ a Moabi kũhooya Baali ya Peori.”
6 Then one of the children of Israel came to his brothers, taking with him a woman of Midian, before the eyes of Moses and all the meeting of the people, while they were weeping at the door of the Tent of meeting.
O hĩndĩ ĩyo mũndũ mũrũme Mũisiraeli akĩrehe mũndũ-wa-nja Mũmidiani mũciĩ gwake akĩonagwo nĩ Musa na kĩũngano kĩu gĩothe gĩa Isiraeli, o hĩndĩ ĩrĩa maarĩragĩra itoonyero-inĩ rĩa Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo.
7 And Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, seeing it, got up from among the people and took a spear in his hand,
Rĩrĩa Finehasi mũrũ wa Eleazaru, mũrũ wa Harũni ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai, onire ũndũ ũcio-rĩ, akiuma kĩũngano-inĩ kĩu, akĩoya itimũ,
8 And went after the man of Israel into the tent, driving the spear through the two of them, through the man of Israel and through the stomach of the woman. So the disease was stopped among the children of Israel.
akĩrũmĩrĩra Mũisiraeli ũcio nginya hema-inĩ yake. Akĩmatheeca na itimũ rĩu, akĩmatũrĩkania eerĩ, itimũ rĩu rĩgĩtũrĩkania Mũisiraeli ũcio o na rĩgĩtheeca mũndũ-wa-nja ũcio. Hĩndĩ ĩyo mũthiro ũcio wokĩrĩire andũ a Isiraeli ũgĩthira;
9 But twenty-four thousand of them had come to their death by the disease.
no andũ arĩa maakuire nĩ ũndũ wa mũthiro ũcio maarĩ andũ 24,000.
10 And the Lord said to Moses,
Nake Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ,
11 Through Phinehas, and because of his passion for my honour, my wrath has been turned away from the children of Israel, so that I have not sent destruction on them all in my wrath.
“Finehasi, mũrũ wa Eleazaru, mũrũ wa Harũni ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai, nĩatũmĩte marakara makwa meherere andũ a Isiraeli; nĩ ũndũ nĩahĩahĩire ngoro o ta ũrĩa ndaiguite nĩ ũndũ wa gĩtĩĩo gĩakwa thĩinĩ wao, na nĩ ũndũ ũcio o na ndahĩahĩa ndiamaniinire.
12 So say to them that I will make with him an agreement of peace:
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ĩra Finehasi atĩrĩ, nĩ ngũthondeka kĩrĩkanĩro gĩakwa gĩa thayũ nake.
13 And by this agreement, he and his sons after him have the right to be priests for ever; because, by his care for the honour of his God, he took away the sin of the children of Israel.
We na njiaro ciake nĩ makagĩa na kĩrĩkanĩro gĩa gũtũũra kĩa ũthĩnjĩri-Ngai, nĩ ũndũ nĩahĩahĩire ngoro nĩ ũndũ wa gĩtĩĩo kĩa Ngai wake, na akĩhoroheria andũ a Isiraeli.”
14 Now the man of Israel who was put to death with the woman of Midian was Zimri, the son of Salu, a chief of one of the families of the Simeonites.
Mũisiraeli ũcio woragirwo marĩ na mũndũ-wa-nja Mũmidiani eetagwo Zimuri mũrũ wa Salu, mũtongoria wa nyũmba ya Asimeoni.
15 And the woman of Midian who was put to death was Cozbi, the daughter of Zur; he was the head of a family in Midian.
Nake mũndũ-wa-nja ũcio Mũmidiani woragirwo, eetagwo Kozibi mwarĩ wa Zuru, mũnene wa mũhĩrĩga thĩinĩ wa nyũmba ĩmwe ya Amidiani.
16 Then the Lord said to Moses,
Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ,
17 Take up arms against the Midianites and overcome them;
“Tua andũ a Midiani thũ cianyu na ũmoorage,
18 For they are a danger to you with their false ways, causing sin to come on you in the question of Peor, and because of Cozbi, their sister, the daughter of the chief of Midian, who was put to death at the time of the disease which came on you because of Peor.
tondũ nĩmamũtuire thũ ciao rĩrĩa maamũheenirie ũhoro-inĩ wa kũhoera kũu Peori na wa mwarĩ wa nyina wao Kozibi, mwarĩ wa mũtongoria Mũmidiani, mũndũ-wa-nja ũrĩa woragirwo rĩrĩa mũthiro wokire nĩ ũndũ wa Peori.”
