Numbers 25
1 Now Israel, at that time, dwelt in Shittim, and the people were fornicating with the daughters of Moab,
Wana bana ya Isalaele bavandaki nanu na Shitimi, bamipesaki na kindumba na bilenge basi ya Moabi.
2 who called them to their sacrifices. And they ate, and they adored their gods.
Mpe, bilenge basi yango bazalaki kobenga bango na milulu ya mbeka oyo babonzelaka banzambe na bango. Mpe bana ya Isalaele bazalaki kolia mpe kogumbamela banzambe yango.
3 And Israel was initiated into Baal of Peor. And so the Lord, being angry,
Bongo, bana ya Isalaele bamipesaki na kosambela Bala ya Peori mpe, kanda ya Yawe epelaki makasi mpo na bango.
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.”
Yawe alobaki na Moyize: « Kanga bakambi nyonso ya Isalaele mpe diembika bango liboso na Ngai, na se ya moyi, mpo ete kanda makasi na Yawe elongwa likolo ya Isalaele. »
5 And Moses said to the judges of Israel, “Let each one kill his neighbors, who have been initiated into Baal of Peor.”
Moyize alobaki na bakambi ya Isalaele: « Tika ete moko na moko kati na bino aboma bato na ye oyo bamipesi na kosambela nzambe Bala ya Peori. »
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.
Bongo moto moko ya Isalaele amemaki na libota na ye mwasi moko ya ekolo ya Madiani liboso ya Moyize mpe ya lisanga mobimba ya bana ya Isalaele, wana bazalaki kolela na ekotelo ya Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani.
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,
Tango Pineasi, mwana mobali ya Eleazari, mwana mobali ya Nganga-Nzambe Aron amonaki bongo, abimaki kati na lisanga mpe akamataki mopanga;
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.
alandaki moto ya Isalaele wana kino kati na ndako na ye ya kapo mpe atobolaki bango mibale mabumu mpe bakufaki, ezala moto ya Isalaele wana mpe mwasi wana. Mpe etumbu oyo ezalaki likolo ya Isalaele esilaki.
9 And there were slain twenty-four thousand men.
Bato oyo bakufaki na etumbu wana bazalaki, bato nkoto tuku mibale na minei.
10 And the Lord said to Moses:
Yawe alobaki na Moyize:
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.
« Nganga-Nzambe Pineasi, mwana mobali ya Eleazari, mwana mobali ya Aron, asili kolongola kanda na Ngai likolo ya bana ya Isalaele, pamba te atalisi bolingo oyo eleka ndelo mpo na lokumu na Ngai kati na bango; yango wana, na kanda na Ngai ya makasi, nasilisaki koboma bana ya Isalaele te.
12 Because of this, say to him: Behold, I give to him the peace of my covenant.
Na boye, yebisa ye ete nasili kosala boyokani ya kimia elongo na ye.
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.”
Boyokani yango ekozala mpo na ye mpe mpo na bakitani na ye, mpo ete basala mosala na Ngai ya Bonganga-Nzambe mpo na libela, pamba te atalisi bolingo oyo eleka ndelo mpo na lokumu ya Nzambe na ye, mpe asali mosala ya bolimbisi masumu mpo na bana ya Isalaele. »
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.
Kombo ya moto ya Isalaele oyo babomaki elongo na mwasi ya Madiani ezalaki Zimiri, mwana mobali ya Salu, mokambi ya libota ya Simeoni;
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.
mpe oyo ya mwasi ya Madiani ezalaki Kozibi, mwana mwasi ya Tsuri, mokambi ya libota moko ya ekolo ya Madiani.
16 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
Yawe alobaki na Moyize:
17 “Let the Midianites perceive you as enemies, and strike them down,
« Kamata bato ya Madiani lokola banguna mpe boma bango,
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.”
pamba te bakamataki bino lokola banguna mpe basalelaki mayele mabe mpo na kokweyisa bino, na likambo ya Peori mpe ya ndeko na bango ya mwasi, Kozibi, mwana mwasi ya moko kati na bakambi ya Madiani, oyo babomaki na tango ya etumbu kati na likambo ya Peori. »
