Numbers 25
1 And Israel abode in Shittim, and the people began to commit whoredom with the daughters of Moab.
Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa andũ a Isiraeli maikaraga Shitimu-rĩ, arũme a Isiraeli makĩambĩrĩria gũtharia na andũ-a-nja a Moabi,
2 And they called the people unto the sacrifices of their gods: and the people did eat, and bowed down to their gods.
arĩa mameetaga magongona-inĩ ma ngai ciao. Andũ acio a Isiraeli makĩrĩa na makĩinamĩrĩra mbere ya ngai icio.
3 And Israel joined himself unto Baal-peor: and the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio andũ a Isiraeli makĩnyiitanĩra nao kũhooya ngai ya Baali ya Peori. Namo marakara ma Jehova makĩmarĩrĩmbũkĩra.
4 And the LORD said unto Moses, Take all the heads of the people, and hang them up before the LORD against the sun, that the fierce anger of the LORD may be turned away from Israel.
Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ, “Oya atongoria othe a andũ aya, ũmoorage na ũmaanĩke mũthenya barigici mbere ya Jehova, nĩguo marakara mahiũ ma Jehova matigakinyĩrĩre andũ a Isiraeli.”
5 And Moses said unto the judges of Israel, Slay ye every one his men that were joined unto Baal-peor.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Musa akĩĩra aciirithania a Isiraeli atĩrĩ, “O mũndũ wanyu no nginya oorage arũme anyu arĩa manyiitanĩire na andũ a Moabi kũhooya Baali ya Peori.”
6 And, behold, one of the children of Israel came and brought unto his brethren a Midianitish woman in the sight of Moses, and in the sight of all the congregation of the children of Israel, who [were] weeping [before] the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
O hĩndĩ ĩyo mũndũ mũrũme Mũisiraeli akĩrehe mũndũ-wa-nja Mũmidiani mũciĩ gwake akĩonagwo nĩ Musa na kĩũngano kĩu gĩothe gĩa Isiraeli, o hĩndĩ ĩrĩa maarĩragĩra itoonyero-inĩ rĩa Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo.
7 And when Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw [it], he rose up from among the congregation, and took a javelin in his hand;
Rĩrĩa Finehasi mũrũ wa Eleazaru, mũrũ wa Harũni ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai, onire ũndũ ũcio-rĩ, akiuma kĩũngano-inĩ kĩu, akĩoya itimũ,
8 And he went after the man of Israel into the tent, and thrust both of them through, the man of Israel, and the woman through her belly. So the plague was stayed from the children of Israel.
akĩrũmĩrĩra Mũisiraeli ũcio nginya hema-inĩ yake. Akĩmatheeca na itimũ rĩu, akĩmatũrĩkania eerĩ, itimũ rĩu rĩgĩtũrĩkania Mũisiraeli ũcio o na rĩgĩtheeca mũndũ-wa-nja ũcio. Hĩndĩ ĩyo mũthiro ũcio wokĩrĩire andũ a Isiraeli ũgĩthira;
9 And those that died in the plague were twenty and four thousand.
no andũ arĩa maakuire nĩ ũndũ wa mũthiro ũcio maarĩ andũ 24,000.
10 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Nake Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ,
11 Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, hath turned my wrath away from the children of Israel, while he was zealous for my sake among them, that I consumed not the children of Israel in my jealousy.
“Finehasi, mũrũ wa Eleazaru, mũrũ wa Harũni ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai, nĩatũmĩte marakara makwa meherere andũ a Isiraeli; nĩ ũndũ nĩahĩahĩire ngoro o ta ũrĩa ndaiguite nĩ ũndũ wa gĩtĩĩo gĩakwa thĩinĩ wao, na nĩ ũndũ ũcio o na ndahĩahĩa ndiamaniinire.
12 Wherefore say, Behold, I give unto him my covenant of peace:
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ĩra Finehasi atĩrĩ, nĩ ngũthondeka kĩrĩkanĩro gĩakwa gĩa thayũ nake.
13 And he shall have it, and his seed after him, [even] the covenant of an everlasting priesthood; because he was zealous for his God, and made an atonement for the children of Israel.
We na njiaro ciake nĩ makagĩa na kĩrĩkanĩro gĩa gũtũũra kĩa ũthĩnjĩri-Ngai, nĩ ũndũ nĩahĩahĩire ngoro nĩ ũndũ wa gĩtĩĩo kĩa Ngai wake, na akĩhoroheria andũ a Isiraeli.”
14 Now the name of the Israelite that was slain, [even] that was slain with the Midianitish woman, [was] Zimri, the son of Salu, a prince of a chief house among the Simeonites.
Mũisiraeli ũcio woragirwo marĩ na mũndũ-wa-nja Mũmidiani eetagwo Zimuri mũrũ wa Salu, mũtongoria wa nyũmba ya Asimeoni.
15 And the name of the Midianitish woman that was slain [was] Cozbi, the daughter of Zur; he [was] head over a people, [and] of a chief house in Midian.
Nake mũndũ-wa-nja ũcio Mũmidiani woragirwo, eetagwo Kozibi mwarĩ wa Zuru, mũnene wa mũhĩrĩga thĩinĩ wa nyũmba ĩmwe ya Amidiani.
16 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ,
17 Vex the Midianites, and smite them:
“Tua andũ a Midiani thũ cianyu na ũmoorage,
18 For they vex 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, which was slain in the day of the plague for Peor’s sake.
tondũ nĩmamũtuire thũ ciao rĩrĩa maamũheenirie ũhoro-inĩ wa kũhoera kũu Peori na wa mwarĩ wa nyina wao Kozibi, mwarĩ wa mũtongoria Mũmidiani, mũndũ-wa-nja ũrĩa woragirwo rĩrĩa mũthiro wokire nĩ ũndũ wa Peori.”
