Numbers 25
1 Nowe whiles Israel abode in Shittim, the people began to commit whoredome with the daughters of Moab:
Panguva yakanga igere Israeri paShitimu, varume vakatanga kuita upombwe navakadzi vokuMoabhu,
2 Which called the people vnto the sacrifice of their gods, and the people ate, and bowed downe to their gods.
avo vakavakoka kuti vauye kuzvibayiro zvavamwari vavo. Vanhu vakadya, vakapfugamira vamwari ava.
3 And Israel coupled himselfe vnto Baal Peor: wherefore the wrath of the Lord was kindled against Israel:
Saka Israeri akabatana navo pakunamata Bhaari wePeori, uye kutsamwa kwaJehovha kukapfuta pamusoro pavo.
4 And the Lord sayde vnto Moses, Take all the heades of the people, and hang them vp before the Lord against ye sunne, that the indignation of the Lords wrath may be turned from Israel.
Jehovha akati kuna Mozisi, “Tora vatungamiri vose vavanhu ava, uvauraye uvaise pachena masikati machena pamberi paJehovha, kuti kutsamwa kunotyisa kwaJehovha kudzorwe kubva pana Israeri.”
5 Then Moses sayd vnto the Iudges of Israel, Euery one slay his men that were ioyned vnto Baal Peor.
Saka Mozisi akati kuvatongi veIsraeri, “Mumwe nomumwe wenyu anofanira kuuraya varume ava vari pakati penyu, avo vakazvibatanidza pakunamata Bhaari wePeori.”
6 And behold, one of the children of Israel came and brought vnto his brethren a Midianitish woman in the sight of Moses, and in the sight of all the Congregation of the children of Israel, who wept before the doore of the Tabernacle of the Congregation.
Ipapo mumwe murume muIsraeri akauyisa kumhuri yake mukadzi womuMidhiani pamberi paMozisi chaipo, ungano yose yaIsraeri pavakanga vachichema vari pamukova weTende Rokusangana.
7 And when Phinehas the sonne of Eleazar the sonne of Aaron the Priest sawe it, hee rose vp from the middes of the Congregation, and tooke a speare in his hand,
Finehasi mwanakomana waEreazari, mwanakomana waAroni, muprista, akati achizviona, akabva paungano, akatora pfumo muruoko rwake;
8 And followed ye man of Israel into the tent, and thrust them both through: to wit, the man of Israel, and the woman, through her belly: so the plague ceased from the children of Israel.
uye akatevera muIsraeri uyo mutende. Akavabaya vose vari vaviri nepfumo kamwe chete, rikabaya muIsraeri rikapfuurira kundobaya muviri womuMidhiani. Ipapo denda rakanga riri pamusoro pavaIsraeri rakaguma;
9 And there died in that plague, foure and twentie thousand.
asi vose vakanga vafa nedenda vakasvika zviuru makumi maviri nezvina.
10 Then the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,
Jehovha akati kuna Mozisi,
11 Phinehas the sonne of Eleazar, the sonne of Aaron the Priest, hath turned mine anger away from the children of Israel, while hee was zealous for my sake among them: therefore I haue not consumed the children of Israel in my ielousie.
“Finehasi mwanakomana waEreazari, mwanakomana waAroni, muprista adzora kutsamwa kwangu kubva pavaIsraeri; nokuti akanga ane shungu sedzangu nokuda kwokusakudzwa kwangu pakati pavo, saka handina kuzovaparadza neshungu dzangu.
12 Wherefore say to him, Beholde, I giue vnto him my couenant of peace,
Naizvozvo umuudze kuti ndava kuita sungano yorugare naye.
13 And he shall haue it, and his seede after him, euen the couenant of the priestes office for euer, because he was zealous for his God, and hath made an atonement for the children of Israel.
Iye nezvizvarwa zvake vachava nesungano youprista husingaperi, nokuti akanga ane shungu nokukudzwa kwaMwari wake, akayananisira vaIsraeri.”
14 And the name of the Israelite thus slayne, which was killed with the Midianitish woman, was Zimri the sonne of Salu, prince of the familie of the Simeonites.
Zita romuIsraeri akaurayiwa pamwe chete nomukadzi muMidhiani rainzi Zimuri mwanakomana waSaru, mutungamiri weimwe mhuri yaSimeoni.
15 And the name of the Midianitish woman, that was slayne, was Cozbi the daughter of Zur, who was head ouer the people of his fathers house in Midian.
Uye zita romukadzi muMidhiani akaurayiwa rakanga richinzi Kozibhi, mwanasikana waZuri, mukuru weimwe mhuri yavaMidhiani.
16 Againe ye Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,
Jehovha akati kuna Mozisi,
17 Vexe the Midianites, and smite them:
“Muone vaMidhiani savavengi uye mugovauraya,
18 For they trouble you with their wiles, wherewith they haue beguiled you as concerning Peor, and as concerning their sister Cozbi ye daughter of a prince of Midian, which was slayne in the day of the plague because of Peor.
nokuti ivo vakakuonai savavengi pavakakunyengerai paPeori uye nehanzvadzi yavo Kozibhi, mwanasikana womutungamiri wavaMidhiani, iye mukadzi akaurayiwa pakauya denda nokuda kwePeori.”
