Numbers 25
1 Now Israel, at that time, dwelt in Shittim, and the people were fornicating with the daughters of Moab,
Na ka noho a Iharaira ki Hitimi, a ka anga te iwi ka moepuku ki nga tamahine a Moapa.
2 who called them to their sacrifices. And they ate, and they adored their gods.
Na ratou hoki i karanga te iwi ki nga patunga tapu ma o ratou atua: na kai ana te iwi, a koropiko ana ki o ratou atua.
3 And Israel was initiated into Baal of Peor. And so the Lord, being angry,
Na ka whakaukia a Iharaira ki a Paarapeoro, a ka mura te riri o Ihowa ki a Iharaira.
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.”
Na ka mea a Ihowa ki a Mohi, Tangohia nga ariki katoa o te iwi, taronatia hoki ki te aroaro o Ihowa, i te ritenga atu o te ra, kia tahuri atu ai i a Iharaira te riri o Ihowa e mura nei.
5 And Moses said to the judges of Israel, “Let each one kill his neighbors, who have been initiated into Baal of Peor.”
Na ka mea a Mohi ki nga kaiwhakawa o Iharaira, Patua e tenei, e tenei o koutou ona tangata i whakaukia ki a Paarapeoro.
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.
Na, ka puta tetahi o nga tama a Iharaira, e mau ana mai i tetahi wahine Miriani ki ona teina i te tirohanga atu a Mohi, i te tirohanga atu ano hoki a te whakaminenga katoa o nga tama a Iharaira, i a ratou e tangi ana i te whatitoka o te tapenakar a o te whakaminenga.
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, no te kitenga o Pinehaha, tama a Ereatara, tama a Arona tohunga, ka whakatika i te whakaminenga, ka hopu i te tao ki tona ringa;
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.
Na ka haere i muri i te tangata o Iharaira ki te teneti, a weohia ana raua tokorua, te tangata o Iharaira, me te wahine hoki i tona tia. A mutu iho te whiu o nga tama a Iharaira.
9 And there were slain twenty-four thousand men.
A ko te hunga i mate i te whiu e rua tekau ma wha mano.
10 And the Lord said to Moses:
Na ka korero a Ihowa ki a Mohi, ka mea,
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.
Na Pinehaha, tama a Ereatara, tama a Arona tohunga, toku riri i anga ke atu ai i nga tama a Iharaira, i tona ngakau hae penei i toku i roto i a ratou, i kore ai nga tama a Iharaira e poto i ahau, i ahau e hae ana.
12 Because of this, say to him: Behold, I give to him the peace of my covenant.
Mo reira me ki atu e koe, Nana, ka hoatu e ahau ki a ia taku kawenata mo te rangimarie:
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.”
A ka mau ki a ia, ki ona uri hoki i muri i a ia, hei kawenata kia mau tonu te mahi tohunga; mona i hae, he whakaaro ki tona Atua, i mea whakamarietanga ano hoki mo nga tama a Iharaira.
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.
A ko te ingoa o te tangata o Iharaira i patua, i patua tahitia ra me te wahine Miriani, ko Timiri tama a Haru, he rangatira no tetahi whare kaumatua i roto i nga Himioni.
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.
Ko te ingoa hoki o te wahine Miriani i patua nei ko Kohopi, he tamahine na Turu; he rangatira ia no tetahi iwi, no tetahi whare kaumatua o Miriana.
16 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
Na ka korero a Ihowa ki a Mohi, ka mea,
17 “Let the Midianites perceive you as enemies, and strike them down,
Whakataria he pakanga ki nga Miriani, patua hoki:
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.”
E whakatari ano hoki ratou i a koutou ki a ratou mahi tinihanga, i tinihangatia ra koutou e ratou i te mea mo Peoro, i te mea hoki mo Kohipi, tamahine a te rangatira o Miriana, he tuahine no ratou, i patua ra i te ra o te whiunga mo Peoro.
