Numbers 25
1 And Israel abode in Shittim; and the people began to commit fornication with the daughters of Moab.
Pèp Izrayèl la vin moute tant yo nan Fon Zakasya yo. Lè sa a, mesye yo konmanse lage kò yo nan vagabondaj ak fanm peyi Moab yo.
2 And they invited the people to the sacrifices of their gods; and the people ate, and bowed down to their gods.
Medam peyi Moab yo menm envite yo nan seremoni ofrann bèt yo t'ap touye pou bondye pa yo. Moun pèp Izrayèl yo ale vre, yo manje epi yo sèvi bondye moun Moab yo.
3 And Israel joined himself to Baal-Peor; and the anger of Jehovah was kindled against Israel.
Se konsa pèp Izrayèl la pran sèvi Baal-Peyò. Sa te fè Seyè a ankòlè anpil sou moun pèp Izrayèl yo.
4 And Jehovah said to Moses, Take all the heads of the people, and hang them up to Jehovah before the sun, that the fierce anger of Jehovah may be turned away from Israel.
Seyè a di Moyiz konsa: -Pran tout chèf pèp la, pann yo gwo midi devan mwen. Konsa, mwen p'ap ankòlè sou yo ankò.
5 And Moses said to the judges of Israel, Slay every one his men that have joined themselves to Baal-Peor.
Moyiz di chèf ki te reskonsab pèp la: -Se pou nou chak nou touye tout gason nan moun nou yo ki te al sèvi Baal-Peyò.
6 And behold, a man of the children of Israel came and brought a Midianitish woman to his brethren, in the sight of Moses, and in the sight of the whole assembly of the children of Israel, who were weeping before the entrance of the tent of meeting.
Lè sa a, antan tout moun yo t'ap kriye sou devan pòt Tant Randevou a, yonn nan gason pèp Izrayèl la ale, li mennen yon fanm peyi Madyan lakay li, devan Moyiz ak tout moun pèp Izrayèl la.
7 And Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw it, and rose up from among the assembly, and took a javelin in his hand,
Lè Fineas, pitit gason Eleaza a, pitit pitit Arawon, prèt la, wè sa, li leve, li kite moun yo kote yo te reyini an, li pase men l', li pran yon frenn.
8 and he went after the man of Israel into the tent-chamber, and thrust both of them through, the man of Israel and the woman through her belly. And the plague was stayed from the children of Israel.
Li swiv nonm lan ak fanm lan anba tant lan, epi li pèse tou de, ni nonm lan ni fanm lan, ak frenn lan anba ti vant yo. Lamenm, epidemi ki t'ap ravaje pèp la sispann.
9 And those that died in the plague were twenty-four thousand.
Te gen vennkatmil (24.000) moun ki te gen tan mouri nan epidemi an.
10 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Seyè a pale ak Moyiz, li di l' konsa:
11 Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, hath turned my wrath away from the children of Israel, in that he was jealous with my jealousy among them, so that I consumed not the children of Israel in my jealousy.
-Se Fineas, pitit gason Eleaza a, pitit pitit gason Arawon prèt la, ki te fè m' sispann ankòlè sou pèp la. Paske nan tout moun sa yo, se li menm ki pa t' ka sipòte wè yon moun nan pèp Izrayèl la kite m' pou l' al sèvi yon lòt bondye. Se poutèt sa, atout mwen t'ap fè jalouzi a, mwen pa fin touye tout pèp la nèt.
12 Therefore say, Behold, I give unto him my covenant of peace!
Men sa pou ou di Fineas pou mwen: m'ap siyen yon kontra avè l' ki pou ba li kè poze.
13 And he shall have it, and his seed after him, the covenant of an everlasting priesthood; because he was jealous for his God, and made atonement for the children of Israel.
M'ap mete li, li menm ak tout ras fanmi l' apre li, pou yo sèvi m' prèt pou tout tan. Paske li te fè m' wè jan li pa t' tolere moun sèvi lòt bondye pase mwen. Se konsa li fè m' padonnen sa pèp la te fè ki mal la.
14 And the name of the man of Israel that was slain, who was slain with the Midianitish woman, was Zimri, the son of Salu, the prince of a father's house of the Simeonites.
Nonm pèp Izrayèl ki te mouri ansanm ak fanm peyi Madyan an te rele Zimri. Se te pitit gason Salou, chèf nan branch fanmi Simeyon an.
15 And the name of the Midianitish woman that was slain was Cozbi, the daughter of Zur; he was tribal head of a father's house in Midian.
Fanm peyi Madyan yo te touye a te rele Kozbi. Se te pitit fi Sou, ki li menm te chèf yon branch nan fanmi moun Madyan yo.
16 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Lè sa a, Seyè a pale ak Moyiz, li di l':
17 Harass the Midianites, and smite them,
-Al atake moun Madyan yo. Bat yo byen bay.
18 for they have harassed you with their wiles, wherewith they have beguiled you in the matter of Peor, and in the matter of Cozbi, the daughter of a prince of Midian, their sister, who was slain on the day of the plague because of the matter of Peor.
Paske se yo menm ki te atake nou anvan ak malefis yo te voye sou nou nan zafè Peyò a, ak nan zafè Kozbi a, pitit fi chèf peyi Madyan an, moun menm ras ak yo a, fanm yo te touye lè epidemi te tonbe sou nou nan peyi Peyò a.
