Numbers 25
1 And Israel sojourned in Sattin, and the people profaned itself by going a-whoring after the daughters of Moab.
Israeli akakaa Shitimu, na wanaume wakaanza kufanya ukahaba na wanawake wa Moabu,
2 And they called them to the sacrifices of their idols; and the people ate of their sacrifices, and worshipped their idols.
kwa kuwa Wamoabu waliwakaribishsa kutoa sadaka kwa miungu yao. Kwa hiyo watu wakala na kuisujudia miungu ya Moabu.
3 And Israel consecrated themselves to Beel-phegor; and the Lord was very angry with Israel.
Watu wa Israeli wakaungana kumwabudu Baali wa Peori, na hasira ya BWANA ikawaka dhidi ya Israeli.
4 And the Lord said to Moses, Take all the princes of the people, and make them examples [of judgment] for the Lord in the face of the sun, and the anger of the Lord shall be turned away from Israel.
BWANA akamwambia Musa, “Waue viongozi wote wa watu na uwanyonge mbele yangu ili waonekane wakati wa mchana, ili kwamba hasira yangu kali iondoke kwa Israeli.”
5 And Moses said to the tribes of Israel, Slay you every one his friend that is consecrated to Beel-phegor.
Kwa hiyo Musa akawaambia viongozi wa Israeli, “Kila mmoja wenu lazima awanyonge watu wake ambao wameshiriki kumwabudu Baali wa Peori.”
6 And, behold, a man of the children of Israel came and brought his brother to a Madianitish woman before Moses, and before all the congregation of the children of Israel; and they were weeping at the door of the tabernacle of witness.
Kisha mtu mmoja wa Israeli akaleta mwanamke mmoja aliyekuwa miongoni mwa familia yake. Hili lilitokea mbele ya macho ya Musa na watu wa Israeli, wakati walipokuwa wakilia mbele ya lango la hema ya kukutania.
7 And Phinees the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw it, and rose out of the midst of the congregation, and took a javelin in his hand,
Finehasi mwana wa Eliazari, mwana wa Haruni kuhani, alipoona hivyo, akainuka kutoka jamii ya watu akachukua mkuki mkononi mwake.
8 and went in after the Israelitish man into the chamber, and pierced them both through, both the Israelitish man, and the woman through her womb; and the plague was stayed from the children of Israel.
Akamfuata yule mwanaume Muisraeli hemani na kuwachoma kwa mkuki wote wawili kwenye miili yao, wote yule Muisraeli na yule mwanamke. Kwa hiyo ile tauni ambayo Mungu alikuwa ameituma kwa watu wa Israeli ikakoma.
9 And those that died in the plague were four and twenty thousand.
Idadi ya wale waliokufa kwa tauni walikuwa elfu ishirini na nne.
10 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
BWANA akanena na Musa, akasema,
11 Phinees the son of Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest has caused my wrath to cease from the children of Israel, when I was exceedingly jealous among them, and I did not consume the children of Israel in my jealousy.
“Finehasi mwana wa Eliazari mwana wa Haruni, kuhani amaigeuza hasira yangu isiwe kwa wana wa Israeli kwa sababu alikuwa na wivu kati yao juu ya wivu wangu. Kwa hiyo sijawaangamiza watu wa Israeli kwa hasira yangu.
12 Thus do you say [to him], Behold, I give him a covenant of peace:
Kwa hiyo waambie, 'BWANA anasema, “Tazama, Ninampa Finehasi agano la amani.
13 and he and his seed after him shall have a perpetual covenant of priesthood, because he was zealous for his God, and made atonement for the children of Israel.
Kwake na kwa wana wake baada yake, litakuwa agano la kudumu la ukuhani kwa sababu alikuwa na wivu juu yangu, Mungu wake. Amewapatanisha wana wa Israeli.
14 Now the name of the struck Israelitish man, who was struck with the Madianitish woman, [was] Zambri son of Salmon, prince of a house of the tribe of Symeon.
Sasa yule Muisraeli aliyeuwawa pamoja na Yule mwanamke Mmidiani alikuwa Zimri mwana wa Salu, kiongozi wa familia ya uzao wa Simeoni.
15 And the name of the Madianitish woman who was struck, [was] Chasbi, daughter of Sur, a prince of the nation of Ommoth: it is a chief house among the people of Madiam.
Jina la yule Mmidiani aliyeuwawa lilikuwa Cozibi binti wa Zuri, ambaye alikuwa mkuu wa familia wa kabila huko Midiani.
16 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, Speak to the children of Israel, saying,
Kwa hiyo BWANA akanena na Musa na kusema,
17 Plague the Madianites as enemies, and strike them,
“Watendee Wamidiani kama maadui na uwaangamize, kwa kuwa waliwatendea kama maadui
18 for they are enemies to you by the treachery wherein they ensnare you through Phogor, and through Chasbi their sister, daughter of a prince of Madiam, who was struck in the day of the plague because of Phogor.
kwa kuwadanganya. Waliwaongoza katika uovu kwa swala la Peori na kwa swala la dada yao Cozibi, binti wa kiongozi wa Wamidiani, ambaye aliuawa siku ile ya tauni kwa swala la Peori.”
