Numbers 25
1 And Israel dwells in Shittim, and the people begin to go whoring to daughters of Moab,
Aisraeli akukhala ku Sitimu, anayamba kuchita chigololo ndi akazi a ku Mowabu,
2 and they call for the people to the sacrifices of their gods, and the people eat and bow themselves to their gods,
amene ankawayitana ku nsembe za milungu yawo. Anthuwo anadya chakudya chopereka kwa milungu ndi kupembedza milunguyo.
3 and Israel is joined to Ba‘al-Peor, and the anger of YHWH burns against Israel.
Motero Aisraeli anapembedza nawo Baala-Peori ndipo Yehova anawapsera mtima kwambiri.
4 And YHWH says to Moses, “Take all the chiefs of the people and hang them before YHWH in sight of the sun; and the fierceness of the anger of YHWH turns back from Israel.”
Pamenepo Yehova anawuza Mose kuti, “Tenga atsogoleri onse a anthu awa, uwaphe poyera, pamaso pa Yehova kuti mkwiyo waukulu wa Yehova uchoke pa Israeli.”
5 And Moses says to [the] judges of Israel, “Each slays his men who are joined to Ba‘al-Peor.”
Choncho Mose anawuza oweruza a Israeli kuti, “Aliyense wa inu ayenera kupha anthu ake amene anapembedza nawo Baala-Peori.”
6 And behold, a man of the sons of Israel has come, and brings a Midianitess to his brothers before the eyes of Moses and before the eyes of all the congregation of the sons of Israel, who are weeping at the opening of the Tent of Meeting;
Kenaka mwamuna wina wa ku Israeli anabweretsa ku banja lake mkazi wa Chimidiyani pamaso pa Mose ndi anthu onse a Israeli pamene ankalira pa khomo la tenti ya msonkhano.
7 and Phinehas, son of Eleazar, son of Aaron the priest, sees, and rises from the midst of the congregation, and takes a javelin in his hand,
Finehasi mwana wa Eliezara, mwana wa wansembe Aaroni ataona izi, anachoka pa msonkhanowo, natenga mkondo mʼdzanja lake.
8 and goes in after the man of Israel to the hollow place, and pierces them both, the man of Israel and the woman—to her belly, and the plague is restrained from the sons of Israel;
Ndipo anatsatira Mwisraeliyu mpaka mʼtenti yake. Anasolola mkondowo ndi kubaya awiriwo kupyola Mwisraeliyo mpaka mʼthupi la mkaziyo. Pamenepo mliri unaleka pakati pa Aisraeli.
9 and the dead by the plague are twenty-four thousand.
Pa mliriwo, anthu okwana 24,000 anafa.
10 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
Yehova anawuza Mose kuti,
11 “Phinehas, son of Eleazar, son of Aaron the priest, has turned back My fury from the sons of Israel by his being zealous with My zeal in their midst, and I have not consumed the sons of Israel in My zeal.
“Finehasi mwana wa Eliezara, mwana wa wansembe Aaroni wabweza mkwiyo wanga pa Aisraeli chifukwa sanalole kuti wina aliyense apembedze mulungu wina koma Ine ndekha. Nʼchifukwa chake sindinawawononge mu mkwiyo wanga.
12 Therefore say, Behold, I am giving My covenant of peace to him,
Tsono muwuze kuti ndikhazikitsa pangano langa la mtendere ndi iye.
13 and it has been to him and to his seed after him [for] a covenant of a continuous priesthood, because that he has been zealous for his God, and makes atonement for the sons of Israel.”
Ndikupangana naye pangano la unsembe wosatha, iyeyo pamodzi ndi zidzukulu zake zonse, chifukwa sanalole kuti anthu awukire Ine Mulungu, ndipo anachita ntchito yopepesera machimo Aisraeli.”
14 And the name of the man of Israel who is struck, who has been struck with the Midianitess, [is] Zimri son of Salu, prince of the house of a father of the Simeonite;
Dzina la Mwisraeli yemwe anaphedwa ndi mkazi wa Chimidiyani anali Zimuri mwana wa Salu, mtsogoleri wa banja la Simeoni.
15 and the name of the woman who is struck, the Midianitess, [is] Cozbi daughter of Zur; he [is] head of peoples of a father’s house in Midian.
Ndipo dzina la mkazi wa Chimidiyani, yemwe anaphedwayo, linali Kozibi mwana wa Zuri, mtsogoleri wa fuko la ku Midiyaniko.
16 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
Yehova anawuza Mose kuti,
17 “Distress the Midianites, and you have struck them,
“Amidiyani ndi adani anu ndipo uwaphe,
18 for they are adversaries to you with their frauds, [with] which they have acted fraudulently to you, concerning the matter of Peor and concerning the matter of Cozbi, daughter of a prince of Midian, their sister, who is struck in the day of the plague for the matter of Peor.”
chifukwa ankakuonani inu ngati adani awo pamene anakupusitsani pa nkhani ya ku Peori, ndiponso za mlongo wawo Kozibi, mwana wamkazi wa mtsogoleri wa Amidiyani, mkazi yemwe anaphedwa pamene mliri unabwera chifukwa cha zimene zinachitika ku Peori.”
