Numbers 25
1 And Israel sojourned in Sattin, and the people profaned itself by going a-whoring after the daughters of Moab.
Esime Israelviwo ƒu asaɖa anyi ɖe Sitim la, woƒe ɖekakpui aɖewo de asi ahasiwɔwɔ me kple Moab ɖetugbiwo.
2 And they called them to the sacrifices of their idols; and the people ate of their sacrifices, and worshipped their idols.
Ɖetugbi siawo kplɔa wo yia woƒe mawuwo ƒe vɔsawo teƒewo. Le ɣeyiɣi kpui aɖe megbe la, ɖekakpuiawo megadea vɔsawo teƒewo ɖeɖe ko o, ke boŋ wodea ta agu na woƒe legbawo.
3 And Israel consecrated themselves to Beel-phegor; and the Lord was very angry with Israel.
Sẽe kple sẽe ko la, Israelviwo katã de asi Moabtɔwo ƒe mawu, Baal Peor subɔsubɔ me. Yehowa ƒe dɔmedzoe bi ɖe Israelviwo ŋu.
4 And the Lord said to Moses, Take all the princes of the people, and make them examples [of judgment] for the Lord in the face of the sun, and the anger of the Lord shall be turned away from Israel.
Yehowa de se sia na Mose be, “Wu Israel ƒe towo katã ƒe kplɔlawo. Trɔ wo ɖe ati nu le Yehowa ŋkume le ŋdɔkutsu dzati nu ale be nye dɔmedzoe ɖe ameawo ŋu nu natso.”
5 And Moses said to the tribes of Israel, Slay ye every one his friend that is consecrated to Beel-phegor.
Ale Mose ɖe gbe na Israel ʋɔnudrɔ̃lawo be woawu ame siwo katã subɔ Baal Peor.
6 And, behold, a man of the children of Israel came and brought his brother to a Madianitish woman before Moses, and before all the congregation of the children of Israel; and they were weeping at the door of the tabernacle of witness.
Gbe ɖeka la, Israel ŋutsu aɖe kplɔ Midian ɖetugbi aɖe amemabumabutɔe va asaɖa la me le Mose kple ameawo katã ŋkume, esime wonɔ avi fam le Agbadɔ la ƒe ʋɔtru nu.
7 And Phinees the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw it, and rose out of the midst of the congregation, and took a javelin in his hand,
Esi Finehas, nunɔla Eleazar ƒe viŋutsu kple nunɔla Aron ƒe tɔgbuiyɔvi kpɔ nu sia la, etso zia, tsɔ akplɔ,
8 and went in after the Israelitish man into the chamber, and pierced them both through, both the Israelitish man, and the woman through her womb; and the plague was stayed from the children of Israel.
ƒu du ti Israel ŋutsu la yome yi eƒe agbadɔ me, afi si wòkplɔ ɖetugbi la yii. Etɔ akplɔ ŋutsu la wòto eƒe dɔ me do heŋɔ dɔme na ɖetugbi la hã. Ale dɔvɔ̃ la nu tso
9 And those that died in the plague were four and twenty thousand.
esime wòwu ame akpe blaeve-vɔ-ene xoxo.
10 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be,
11 Phinees the son of Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest has caused my wrath to cease from the children of Israel, when I was exceedingly jealous among them, and I did not consume the children of Israel in my jealousy.
“Finehas, Eleazar ƒe viŋutsu kple nunɔla Aron ƒe tɔgbuiyɔvi na nye dɔmedzoe nu tso, elabena eya hã do dɔmedzoe abe nye ke ene le nye bubu ta. Eya ta nyemagatsrɔ̃ Israel blibo la abe ale si meɖo ene o.
12 Thus do thou say [to him], Behold, I give him a covenant of peace:
Eya ta gblɔ nɛ be, mele nye ŋutifafa ƒe nubabla wɔm kplii.
13 and he and his seed after him shall have a perpetual covenant of priesthood, because he was zealous for his God, and made atonement for the children of Israel.
Eya kple eƒe dzidzimeviwo anɔ nubabla me kplim tso nunɔladɔwɔwɔ tegbetegbe ŋu, elabena etsi dzi ɖe eƒe Mawu ƒe bubu ŋu ele wòlé avu ɖe Israelviwo nu.”
14 Now the name of the smitten Israelitish man, who was smitten with the Madianitish woman, [was] Zambri son of Salmon, prince of a house of the tribe of Symeon.
Israelvi si wowu kple Midian ɖetugbi la ŋkɔe nye Zimri si nye Salu, ame si nye Simeon ƒe to la ƒe kplɔla aɖe la ƒe viŋutsu.
15 And the name of the Madianitish woman who was smitten, [was] Chasbi, daughter of Sur, a prince of the nation of Ommoth: it is a chief house among the people of Madiam.
Ɖetugbi la ŋkɔe nye Kozbi si nye Zur, Midiantɔwo ƒe fiavi aɖe ƒe vinyɔnu.
16 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, Speak to the children of Israel, saying,
Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be,
17 Plague the Madianites as enemies, and smite them,
“Miwɔ Midiantɔwo abe miaƒe futɔwo ene, eye miawu wo,
18 for they are enemies to you by the treachery wherein they ensnare you through Phogor, and through Chasbi their sister, daughter of a prince of Madiam, who was smitten in the day of the plague because of Phogor.
elabena wole mia tsrɔ̃m kple woƒe nu vɔ̃wo. Wona miele Baal subɔm, eye wona miele mɔ tram hele dɔvɔ̃ lém abe ale si miekpɔe fifi laa to Kozbi ƒe ku me ene.”
