Numbers 25
1 And Israel abode in Shittim; and the people began to commit fornication with the daughters of Moab.
Pea naʻe nofo ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi Sitimi, pea naʻe kamata fai ʻe he kakai ʻae feʻauaki mo e ngaahi ʻofefine ʻo Moape.
2 And they invited the people to the sacrifices of their gods; and the people ate, and bowed down to their gods.
Pea naʻa nau ui ʻae kakai ki he ngaahi feilaulau ki honau ngaahi ʻotua: pea naʻe kai ʻe he kakai, mo nau punou hifo ki honau ngaahi ʻotua.
3 And Israel joined himself to Baal-Peor; and the anger of Jehovah was kindled against Israel.
Pea naʻe feangai ʻa ʻIsileli mo Peali-Peoli: pea naʻe vela ʻae houhau ʻo Sihova ki ʻIsileli.
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.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kia Mōsese, “ʻAve ʻae houʻeiki ʻoe kakai, ke tautau ʻakinautolu ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ʻi he ʻao ʻoe laʻā, koeʻuhi ke foki ai ʻae houhau lahi ʻo Sihova mei ʻIsileli.”
5 And Moses said to the judges of Israel, Slay every one his men that have joined themselves to Baal-Peor.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Mōsese ki he kau fakamaau ʻo ʻIsileli, “Taki taha tāmateʻi ʻa hono kau tangata naʻe feangai mo Peali-Peoli.”
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.
Pea, vakai, naʻe haʻu ʻae tokotaha ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻo ʻomi ki hono kāinga ha fefine Mitiane ʻi he ʻao ʻo Mōsese, pea ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kakai kotoa pē ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, lolotonga ʻenau tangi ʻi he veʻe matapā ʻoe fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai.
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,
Pea ʻi he mamata ki ai ʻa Finiasi, ko e foha ʻo ʻEliesa, ko e foha ia ʻo ʻElone ko e taulaʻeiki, naʻe tuʻu hake ia ʻi he kakai, ʻo ne toʻo ʻae tao ʻi hono nima;
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.
Pea naʻe muimui ia ʻi he tangata ko ia ki hono fale fehikitaki, ʻo ne hokaʻi ʻakinaua ʻo ʻasi, ʻae tangata ʻIsileli, mo e fefine, ʻi hono kete, ko ia naʻe tuku ai ʻae mahaki fakaʻauha mei he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli.
9 And those that died in the plague were twenty-four thousand.
Pea ko kinautolu naʻe mate ʻi he mahaki fakaʻauha naʻe toko ua mano ma toko fā afe.
10 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, ʻo pehē,
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.
“Ko Finiasi, ko e foha ʻo ʻEliesa, ko e foha ia ʻo ʻElone ko e taulaʻeiki, kuo fakaafe ʻe ia ʻa hoku houhau mei he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻi heʻene fai feinga kiate kinautolu koeʻuhi ko au, ko ia naʻe ʻikai ai te u fakaʻauha ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi hoku fuaʻa.
12 Therefore say, Behold, I give unto him my covenant of peace!
Pea ko ia, ke ke pehē, Vakai, te u foaki kiate ia ʻeku fuakava ʻoe fiemālie:
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.
Pea te ne maʻu ʻe ia, pea mo hono hako ki mui ʻiate ia, ʻae fuakava ʻoe ngāue fakataulaʻeiki ʻo lauikuonga; koeʻuhi kuo ne fai feinga ki hono ʻOtua, pea ne fai ʻae fakalelei koeʻuhi ko e fānau ʻa ʻIsileli.”
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.
Pea ko e hingoa eni ʻoe tangata ʻIsileli naʻe tali, ʻio, ʻaia naʻe tali fakataha mo e fefine Mitiane, ko Simili, ko e foha ʻo Salu, ko e ʻeiki ʻoe fale lahi ʻi he faʻahinga ʻo Simione.
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.
Pea ko e hingoa ʻoe fefine Mitiane naʻe tali ko Kosipi, ko e ʻofefine ʻo Sua; ko e ʻeiki ia ki he kakai, mo e fale lahi ʻi Mitiane.
16 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, ʻo pehē,
17 Harass the Midianites, and smite them,
“Fakafiuʻi ʻae kau Mitiane, ʻo taaʻi ʻakinautolu:
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.
He kuo nau fakafiuʻi ʻakimoutolu ʻaki ʻenau kākā, ʻaia kuo nau fakakākaaʻi ʻaki ʻakimoutolu ʻi he meʻa ʻa Peoli, mo e meʻa ʻa Kosipi, ko e ʻofefine ʻoe ʻeiki ʻo Mitiane, ko honau tuofefine, ʻaia kuo tāmateʻi ʻi he ʻaho ʻoe mahaki fakaʻauha koeʻuhi ko Peoli.”
