Numbers 25
1 And Israel sojourned in Sattin, and the people profaned itself by going a-whoring after the daughters of Moab.
Aisraeli akukhala ku Sitimu, anayamba kuchita chigololo ndi akazi a ku Mowabu,
2 And they called them to the sacrifices of their idols; and the people ate of their sacrifices, and worshipped their idols.
amene ankawayitana ku nsembe za milungu yawo. Anthuwo anadya chakudya chopereka kwa milungu ndi kupembedza milunguyo.
3 And Israel consecrated themselves to Beel-phegor; and the Lord was very angry with Israel.
Motero Aisraeli anapembedza nawo Baala-Peori ndipo Yehova anawapsera mtima kwambiri.
4 And the Lord said to Moses, Take all the princes of the people, and make them examples [of judgement] for the Lord in the face of the sun, and the anger of the Lord shall be turned 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 tribes of Israel, Slay you every one his friend that is consecrated to Beel-phegor.
Choncho Mose anawuza oweruza a Israeli kuti, “Aliyense wa inu ayenera kupha anthu ake amene anapembedza nawo Baala-Peori.”
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.
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 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,
Finehasi mwana wa Eliezara, mwana wa wansembe Aaroni ataona izi, anachoka pa msonkhanowo, natenga mkondo mʼdzanja lake.
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.
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 that died in the plague were four and twenty thousand.
Pa mliriwo, anthu okwana 24,000 anafa.
10 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
Yehova anawuza Mose kuti,
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 amongst them, and I did not consume the children 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 Thus do you say [to him], Behold, I give him a covenant of peace:
Tsono muwuze kuti ndikhazikitsa pangano langa la mtendere ndi iye.
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.
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 struck Israelitish man, who was struck with the Madianitish woman, [was] Zambri son of Salmon, prince of a house of the tribe of Symeon.
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 Madianitish woman who was struck, [was] Chasbi, daughter of Sur, a prince of the nation of Ommoth: it is a chief house amongst the people of Madiam.
Ndipo dzina la mkazi wa Chimidiyani, yemwe anaphedwayo, linali Kozibi mwana wa Zuri, mtsogoleri wa fuko la ku Midiyaniko.
16 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, Speak to the children of Israel, saying,
Yehova anawuza Mose kuti,
17 Plague the Madianites as enemies, and strike them,
“Amidiyani ndi adani anu ndipo uwaphe,
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 struck in the day of the plague because of Phogor.
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.”
