< Numbers 25 >

1 Now Israel, at that time, dwelt in Shittim, and the people were fornicating with the daughters of Moab,
NOHO iho la ka Iseraela ma Sitima: a hoomaka iho la, na kanaka e moe kolohe me na kaikamahine a ka Moaba.
2 who called them to their sacrifices. And they ate, and they adored their gods.
Koi mai la lakou i na kanaka e hele aku i na ahaaina hoomana a na akua o lakou: ai iho la na kanaka, a kulou iho la i na akua o lakou.
3 And Israel was initiated into Baal of Peor. And so the Lord, being angry,
Hui pu aku la ka Iseraela me Baalapeora: a ua hoaia mai la ka inaina o Iehova i ka Iseraela.
4 said to Moses, “Take all the leaders of the people, and hang them on gallows against the sun, so that my fury may be averted from Israel.”
Olelo mai la o Iehova ia Mose, E lawe i na luna a pau o kanaka, e kau aku ia lakou imua o Iehova ma ka la, i hoohuliia'ku ai ka inaina nui o Iehova mai ka Iseraela aku.
5 And Moses said to the judges of Israel, “Let each one kill his neighbors, who have been initiated into Baal of Peor.”
Olelo aku la o Mose i na lunakanawai o ka Iseraela, E pepehi oukou a pau i na kanaka o oukou i hui pu ia'ku me Baalapeora.
6 And behold, one of the sons of Israel entered, in the sight of his brothers, to a prostitute of Midian, within view of Moses and of all the crowd of the sons of Israel, who were weeping before the door of the tabernacle.
Aia hoi, hele mai kekahi mamo a Iseraela, a lawe mai la i kekahi wahine no Midiana i na hoahanau ona, imua o na maka o Mose, a imua o na maka o ke anaina kanaka a pau o na mamo a Iseraela, e uwe ana lakou ma ka puka o ka halelewa o ke anaina.
7 And when Phinehas the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, had seen it, he rose up from the midst of the multitude, and, seizing a dagger,
A ike aku la o Pinehasa ke keiki a Eleazara ke keiki a Aarona ke kahuna, ku ae la ia mawaena o ke anaina kanaka, a lawe ae la ia i ka ihe ma kona lima;
8 he entered after the Israelite man, into the brothel, and he pierced both of them at the same time, specifically, the man and the woman at the location of their genitals. And the scourge ceased from among the sons of Israel.
Hahai aku la ia mamuli o ua kanaka la o ka Iseraela maloko o ka halelewa, a hou iho la ia laua a elua, i ke kanaka o ka Iseraela a me ka wahine ma kona opu. Pela no i paleia'i ke. ahulau mai na mamo a Iseraela aku.
9 And there were slain twenty-four thousand men.
A o ka poe i make i ke ahulau, he iwakaluakumamaha tausani lakou.
10 And the Lord said to Moses:
Olelo mai la o Iehova ia Mose, i mai la,
11 “Phinehas the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, has averted my wrath from the sons of Israel. For he was moved against them by my zeal, so that I myself, in my zeal, might not wipe away the sons of Israel.
O Pinehasa ke keiki a Eleazara, ke keiki a Aarona ke kahuna, ua hoohuli ae ia i kuu inaina mai na mamo a Iseraela aku, no kona lili ana no'u iwaena o lakou; i hoopau ole ai au i na mamo a Iseraela i kuu lili ana.
12 Because of this, say to him: Behold, I give to him the peace of my covenant.
Nolaila, e i aku oe, Aia hoi, ke haawi aku nei au i kuu berita nona e malu ai.
13 And the covenant of the everlasting priesthood shall be as much for him as for his offspring. For he was zealous on behalf of his God, and he has made expiation for the wickedness of the sons of Israel.”
Nona no ia, a no kana poe mamo mahope ona, o ka berita o ka oihana kahuna mau loa; no ka mea, ua lili oia no kona Akua, a ua hookalahala oia no na mamo a Iseraela.
14 Now the name of the Israelite man, who was killed with the Midianite woman, was Zimri the son of Salu, a leader from the kinship and tribe of Simeon.
O ka inoa o ke kanaka Iseraela i pepehiia, i pepehi pu ia me ka wahine o Midiana, oia o Zimeri ke keiki a Salu, he luna o ka ohana kupuna no ka Simeona.
15 Moreover, the Midianite woman, who was put to death together with him, was called Cozbi the daughter of Zur, a most noble leader among the Midianites.
A o ka inoa o ka wahine no Midiana i pepehiia, oia o Kosebi, ke kaikamahine a Zura, he luna ia o kekahi poe kanaka, no ka ohana alii ma Midiana.
16 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
Olelo mai la o Iehova ia Mose, i mai la,
17 “Let the Midianites perceive you as enemies, and strike them down,
E kaua aku oe i ko Midiana, a e pepehi ia lakou:
18 for they, too, have behaved with hostility against you, and they have deceived you insidiously by means of the idol Peor, and by Cozbi, the daughter of a commander of Midian, their sister, who was struck down in the day of the scourge because of the sacrilege of Peor.”
No ka mea, ke hoopilikia mai nei lakou ia oukou, me ka hoowalewale ana a lakou i hoowalewale mai ai ia oukou ma ka mea o Peora, a ma ka mea o Kosebi ke kaikamahine a kekahi alii o Midiana, ko lakou kaikuwahine, o ka mea i pepehiia i ka la o ke ahulau no Peora.
