Numbers 25
1 And Israel dwells in Shittim, and the people begin to go whoring to daughters of Moab,
Wana bana ya Isalaele bavandaki nanu na Shitimi, bamipesaki na kindumba na bilenge basi ya Moabi.
2 and they call for the people to the sacrifices of their gods, and the people eat and bow themselves to their gods,
Mpe, bilenge basi yango bazalaki kobenga bango na milulu ya mbeka oyo babonzelaka banzambe na bango. Mpe bana ya Isalaele bazalaki kolia mpe kogumbamela banzambe yango.
3 and Israel is joined to Ba‘al-Peor, and the anger of YHWH burns against Israel.
Bongo, bana ya Isalaele bamipesaki na kosambela Bala ya Peori mpe, kanda ya Yawe epelaki makasi mpo na bango.
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.”
Yawe alobaki na Moyize: « Kanga bakambi nyonso ya Isalaele mpe diembika bango liboso na Ngai, na se ya moyi, mpo ete kanda makasi na Yawe elongwa likolo ya Isalaele. »
5 And Moses says to [the] judges of Israel, “Each slays his men who are joined to Ba‘al-Peor.”
Moyize alobaki na bakambi ya Isalaele: « Tika ete moko na moko kati na bino aboma bato na ye oyo bamipesi na kosambela nzambe Bala ya 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;
Bongo moto moko ya Isalaele amemaki na libota na ye mwasi moko ya ekolo ya Madiani liboso ya Moyize mpe ya lisanga mobimba ya bana ya Isalaele, wana bazalaki kolela na ekotelo ya Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani.
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,
Tango Pineasi, mwana mobali ya Eleazari, mwana mobali ya Nganga-Nzambe Aron amonaki bongo, abimaki kati na lisanga mpe akamataki mopanga;
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;
alandaki moto ya Isalaele wana kino kati na ndako na ye ya kapo mpe atobolaki bango mibale mabumu mpe bakufaki, ezala moto ya Isalaele wana mpe mwasi wana. Mpe etumbu oyo ezalaki likolo ya Isalaele esilaki.
9 and the dead by the plague are twenty-four thousand.
Bato oyo bakufaki na etumbu wana bazalaki, bato nkoto tuku mibale na minei.
10 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
Yawe alobaki na Moyize:
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.
« Nganga-Nzambe Pineasi, mwana mobali ya Eleazari, mwana mobali ya Aron, asili kolongola kanda na Ngai likolo ya bana ya Isalaele, pamba te atalisi bolingo oyo eleka ndelo mpo na lokumu na Ngai kati na bango; yango wana, na kanda na Ngai ya makasi, nasilisaki koboma bana ya Isalaele te.
12 Therefore say, Behold, I am giving My covenant of peace to him,
Na boye, yebisa ye ete nasili kosala boyokani ya kimia elongo na ye.
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.”
Boyokani yango ekozala mpo na ye mpe mpo na bakitani na ye, mpo ete basala mosala na Ngai ya Bonganga-Nzambe mpo na libela, pamba te atalisi bolingo oyo eleka ndelo mpo na lokumu ya Nzambe na ye, mpe asali mosala ya bolimbisi masumu mpo na bana ya Isalaele. »
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;
Kombo ya moto ya Isalaele oyo babomaki elongo na mwasi ya Madiani ezalaki Zimiri, mwana mobali ya Salu, mokambi ya libota ya 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.
mpe oyo ya mwasi ya Madiani ezalaki Kozibi, mwana mwasi ya Tsuri, mokambi ya libota moko ya ekolo ya Madiani.
16 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
Yawe alobaki na Moyize:
17 “Distress the Midianites, and you have struck them,
« Kamata bato ya Madiani lokola banguna mpe boma bango,
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.”
pamba te bakamataki bino lokola banguna mpe basalelaki mayele mabe mpo na kokweyisa bino, na likambo ya Peori mpe ya ndeko na bango ya mwasi, Kozibi, mwana mwasi ya moko kati na bakambi ya Madiani, oyo babomaki na tango ya etumbu kati na likambo ya Peori. »
