Numbers 25
1 When the Israelites were staying at Shittim the men started to have sex with Moabite women
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 who invited them to the sacrifices made to their gods. The Israelites ate the pagan meals and bowed down before these 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 In this way the Israelites devoted themselves in worship to Baal of Peor, and the Lord was angry with them.
Se konsa pèp Izrayèl la pran sèvi Baal-Peyò. Sa te fè Seyè a ankòlè anpil sou moun pèp Izrayèl yo.
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.”
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 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.”
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 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.
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 When he saw this, Phinehas, son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, left the assembly, grabbed a spear
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 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,
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 but 24,000 had already died.
Te gen vennkatmil (24.000) moun ki te gen tan mouri nan epidemi an.
10 The Lord told Moses,
Seyè a pale ak Moyiz, li di l' konsa:
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.
-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 So make an announcement that I am granting him my peace agreement.
Men sa pou ou di Fineas pou mwen: m'ap siyen yon kontra avè l' ki pou ba li kè poze.
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.”
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 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.
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 The name of the Midianite woman who was killed was Cozbi, daughter of Zur, a family leader of a Midianite tribe.
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 The Lord told Moses,
Lè sa a, Seyè a pale ak Moyiz, li di l':
17 “Attack the Midianites and kill them,
-Al atake moun Madyan yo. Bat yo byen bay.
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.”
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.
