Numbers 25
1 When the Israelites were staying at Shittim the men started to have sex with Moabite women
Isarel teh shittim kho a sak navah, taminaw pueng teh Moab napui koe kâyo hanlah a kamtawng awh.
2 who invited them to the sacrifices made to their gods. The Israelites ate the pagan meals and bowed down before these gods.
A cathut koe thuengnae a sak navah, ouk a coun awh. Taminaw pueng ni a canei awh teh, a cathut koe ouk a tabo awh.
3 In this way the Israelites devoted themselves in worship to Baal of Peor, and the Lord was angry with them.
Isarel teh, Peor e hmuen koe Baal hoi a kâkuet awh teh, Isarel koe BAWIPA lungkhueknae teh a kâan.
4 The Lord told Moses, “Arrest all the Israelite leaders and kill them before the Lord where everyone can see in order to turn the Lord's furious anger away from the people.”
BAWIPA ni Mosi koevah takikatho poung e BAWIPA lungkhueknae teh, Isarel koe lahoi a roum thai nahanlah tamimaya kahrawinaw pueng hah a ceikhai awh teh, kanîthun vah, kâtapoenaw pueng hah BAWIPA hmalah kamcengcalah kaithi sak haw telah a ti.
5 So Moses instructed Israel's judges, “Each of you has to kill all of your men who have devoted themselves to worshiping Baal of Peor.”
Hatdawkvah, Mosi ni Isarel lawkcengkungnaw koevah, Peor hmuen koe Baal kabawknaw pueng koung thet awh telah a ti.
6 Right then an Israelite man brought a Midianite woman to his family tent in full view of Moses and all the Israelites as they were crying at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.
Khenhaw! Isarel catounnaw thung dawk tami buet touh ni kamkhuengnae lukkareiim takhang koe a khuika navah, Mosi mithmu hoi Isarel catoun tamimaya mithmu vah, Midian napui buet touh a hmaunawnghanaw koe a thokhai.
7 When he saw this, Phinehas, son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, left the assembly, grabbed a spear
Vaihma Aron e capa Eleazar capa Phinahas ni a hmu toteh, tamimaya koehoi a thaw teh tahroe hah a la.
8 and followed the man into his tent. There Phinehas drove the spear through both of them, through the Israelite and on into the woman's stomach. This action stopped the plague that had started to kill the Israelites,
Isarelnaw teh lukkareiim thung vah a pâlei teh kahni touh roi hoi pawkkayawng lah a thut. Isarel tami hoi napui teh a vawn dawk a thut teh, Isarel catounnaw koe lacik hah a roum.
9 but 24,000 had already died.
Hote lacik hoi kadoutnaw teh 24000 touh a pha.
10 The Lord told Moses,
BAWIPA ni Mosi hah a pato teh,
11 “Phinehas son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, has turned my anger away from the Israelites, because out of all of them he was passionately dedicated to me, so I did not destroy the Israelites in my passionate anger.
vaihma Aron capa Eleazar capa Phinehas ni Isarel catounnaw koe ka lungkhueknae ka roum sak toe. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ka lungkhueknae ni Isarel catounnaw a raphoe hoeh nahanelah, ahnimouh rahak ka dipmanae patetlah a kâdipma awh van han.
12 So make an announcement that I am granting him my peace agreement.
Hatdawkvah, khenhaw! roumnae ka lawkkam teh, ama koevah ka poe.
13 It will be an agreement that ensures a permanent priesthood for him and his descendants, because he was passionately dedicated to his God and set the Israelites right.”
Ama hoi a catounnaw hanlah, a yungyoe vaihma lah a onae lawkkam lah ao han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, dipma Cathut teh, Isarel catounnaw hanlah yonthanae a sak tet awh telah a ti.
14 The name of the Israelite who was killed with the Midianite woman was Zimri, son of Salu, a family leader of the tribe of Simeon.
Isarelnaw Midian napui hoi a thei awh e min teh Simeonnaw thung dawk imthungkhu kahrawikung Salu capa Zimri doeh.
15 The name of the Midianite woman who was killed was Cozbi, daughter of Zur, a family leader of a Midianite tribe.
Midian napui a thei awh e min teh Midian imthungkhu kahrawikung Zur canu Kozbi doeh.
16 The Lord told Moses,
BAWIPA ni Mosi a pato teh,
17 “Attack the Midianites and kill them,
Midiannaw teh reksaueng nateh tuk awh.
18 because they attacked you deceptively, leading you astray by using Peor and their woman Cozbi, the daughter of the Midianite leader—the woman who was killed on the day the plague came because of their devotion to Peor.”
Bangkongtetpawiteh, Peor kecu dawk lacik a tho navah, a tawncanu, Midiannaw kahrawikung canu Kozbi a thei awh e kong dawkvah, nangmouh lathueng kalanhoehe hno sak hoi na tarawk awh toe telah ati.
