Numbers 25
1 Now when Israel was living in Shittim the people became false to the Lord, doing evil with the daughters of Moab:
Pèp Izrayèl la vin moute tant yo nan Fon Zakasya yo. Lè sa a, mesye yo konmanse lage kò yo nan vagabondaj ak fanm peyi Moab yo.
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.
Medam peyi Moab yo menm envite yo nan seremoni ofrann bèt yo t'ap touye pou bondye pa yo. Moun pèp Izrayèl yo ale vre, yo manje epi yo sèvi bondye moun Moab yo.
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.
Se konsa pèp Izrayèl la pran sèvi Baal-Peyò. Sa te fè Seyè a ankòlè anpil sou moun pèp Izrayèl yo.
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.
Seyè a di Moyiz konsa: -Pran tout chèf pèp la, pann yo gwo midi devan mwen. Konsa, mwen p'ap ankòlè sou yo ankò.
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.
Moyiz di chèf ki te reskonsab pèp la: -Se pou nou chak nou touye tout gason nan moun nou yo ki te al sèvi Baal-Peyò.
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.
Lè sa a, antan tout moun yo t'ap kriye sou devan pòt Tant Randevou a, yonn nan gason pèp Izrayèl la ale, li mennen yon fanm peyi Madyan lakay li, devan Moyiz ak tout moun pèp Izrayèl la.
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,
Lè Fineas, pitit gason Eleaza a, pitit pitit Arawon, prèt la, wè sa, li leve, li kite moun yo kote yo te reyini an, li pase men l', li pran yon frenn.
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.
Li swiv nonm lan ak fanm lan anba tant lan, epi li pèse tou de, ni nonm lan ni fanm lan, ak frenn lan anba ti vant yo. Lamenm, epidemi ki t'ap ravaje pèp la sispann.
9 But twenty-four thousand of them had come to their death by the disease.
Te gen vennkatmil (24.000) moun ki te gen tan mouri nan epidemi an.
10 And the Lord said to Moses,
Seyè a pale ak Moyiz, li di l' konsa:
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.
-Se Fineas, pitit gason Eleaza a, pitit pitit gason Arawon prèt la, ki te fè m' sispann ankòlè sou pèp la. Paske nan tout moun sa yo, se li menm ki pa t' ka sipòte wè yon moun nan pèp Izrayèl la kite m' pou l' al sèvi yon lòt bondye. Se poutèt sa, atout mwen t'ap fè jalouzi a, mwen pa fin touye tout pèp la nèt.
12 So say to them that I will make with him an agreement of peace:
Men sa pou ou di Fineas pou mwen: m'ap siyen yon kontra avè l' ki pou ba li kè poze.
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.
M'ap mete li, li menm ak tout ras fanmi l' apre li, pou yo sèvi m' prèt pou tout tan. Paske li te fè m' wè jan li pa t' tolere moun sèvi lòt bondye pase mwen. Se konsa li fè m' padonnen sa pèp la te fè ki mal la.
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.
Nonm pèp Izrayèl ki te mouri ansanm ak fanm peyi Madyan an te rele Zimri. Se te pitit gason Salou, chèf nan branch fanmi Simeyon an.
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.
Fanm peyi Madyan yo te touye a te rele Kozbi. Se te pitit fi Sou, ki li menm te chèf yon branch nan fanmi moun Madyan yo.
16 Then the Lord said to Moses,
Lè sa a, Seyè a pale ak Moyiz, li di l':
17 Take up arms against the Midianites and overcome them;
-Al atake moun Madyan yo. Bat yo byen bay.
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.
Paske se yo menm ki te atake nou anvan ak malefis yo te voye sou nou nan zafè Peyò a, ak nan zafè Kozbi a, pitit fi chèf peyi Madyan an, moun menm ras ak yo a, fanm yo te touye lè epidemi te tonbe sou nou nan peyi Peyò a.
