Numbers 25
1 Now Israel stayed in Shittim; and the people defiled themselves by having sexual relations with the women of Moab,
Na ka noho a Iharaira ki Hitimi, a ka anga te iwi ka moepuku ki nga tamahine a Moapa.
2 and they called the people to the sacrifices of their gods; and the people ate, and bowed down to their gods.
Na ratou hoki i karanga te iwi ki nga patunga tapu ma o ratou atua: na kai ana te iwi, a koropiko ana ki o ratou atua.
3 Israel joined himself to Baal Peor: and the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel.
Na ka whakaukia a Iharaira ki a Paarapeoro, a ka mura te riri o Ihowa ki a Iharaira.
4 The LORD said to Moses, "Take all the chiefs of the people, and hang them up to the LORD before the sun, that the fierce anger of the LORD may turn away from Israel."
Na ka mea a Ihowa ki a Mohi, Tangohia nga ariki katoa o te iwi, taronatia hoki ki te aroaro o Ihowa, i te ritenga atu o te ra, kia tahuri atu ai i a Iharaira te riri o Ihowa e mura nei.
5 Moses said to the judges of Israel, "Everyone kill his men who have joined themselves to Baal Peor."
Na ka mea a Mohi ki nga kaiwhakawa o Iharaira, Patua e tenei, e tenei o koutou ona tangata i whakaukia ki a Paarapeoro.
6 Look, one of the children of Israel came and brought to his brothers a Midianite woman in the sight of Moses, and in the sight of all the congregation of the children of Israel, while they were weeping at the door of the Tent of Meeting.
Na, ka puta tetahi o nga tama a Iharaira, e mau ana mai i tetahi wahine Miriani ki ona teina i te tirohanga atu a Mohi, i te tirohanga atu ano hoki a te whakaminenga katoa o nga tama a Iharaira, i a ratou e tangi ana i te whatitoka o te tapenakar a o te whakaminenga.
7 When Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw it, he rose up from the midst of the congregation, and took a spear in his hand;
A, no te kitenga o Pinehaha, tama a Ereatara, tama a Arona tohunga, ka whakatika i te whakaminenga, ka hopu i te tao ki tona ringa;
8 and he went after the man of Israel into the pavilion, and thrust both of them through, the man of Israel, and the woman through her body. So the plague was stayed from the children of Israel.
Na ka haere i muri i te tangata o Iharaira ki te teneti, a weohia ana raua tokorua, te tangata o Iharaira, me te wahine hoki i tona tia. A mutu iho te whiu o nga tama a Iharaira.
9 Those who died by the plague were twenty-four thousand.
A ko te hunga i mate i te whiu e rua tekau ma wha mano.
10 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Na ka korero a Ihowa ki a Mohi, ka mea,
11 "Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, has turned my wrath away from the children of Israel, in that he was jealous with my jealousy among them, so that I did not consume the children of Israel in my jealousy.
Na Pinehaha, tama a Ereatara, tama a Arona tohunga, toku riri i anga ke atu ai i nga tama a Iharaira, i tona ngakau hae penei i toku i roto i a ratou, i kore ai nga tama a Iharaira e poto i ahau, i ahau e hae ana.
12 Therefore say, 'Look, I give to him my covenant of peace:
Mo reira me ki atu e koe, Nana, ka hoatu e ahau ki a ia taku kawenata mo te rangimarie:
13 and it shall be to him, and to his descendants after him, the covenant of an everlasting priesthood; because he was jealous for his God, and made atonement for the children of Israel.'"
A ka mau ki a ia, ki ona uri hoki i muri i a ia, hei kawenata kia mau tonu te mahi tohunga; mona i hae, he whakaaro ki tona Atua, i mea whakamarietanga ano hoki mo nga tama a Iharaira.
14 Now the name of the man of Israel that was slain, who was slain with the Midianite woman, was Zimri, the son of Salu, a prince of a fathers' house among the Simeonites.
A ko te ingoa o te tangata o Iharaira i patua, i patua tahitia ra me te wahine Miriani, ko Timiri tama a Haru, he rangatira no tetahi whare kaumatua i roto i nga Himioni.
15 The name of the Midianite woman who was slain was Cozbi, the daughter of Zur; he was head of the people of a fathers' house in Midian.
Ko te ingoa hoki o te wahine Miriani i patua nei ko Kohopi, he tamahine na Turu; he rangatira ia no tetahi iwi, no tetahi whare kaumatua o Miriana.
16 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, "Speak to the children of Israel, saying,
Na ka korero a Ihowa ki a Mohi, ka mea,
17 'Harass the Midianites, and strike them;
Whakataria he pakanga ki nga Miriani, patua hoki:
18 for they harassed you with their tricks, with which they have deceived you in the matter of Peor, and in the matter of Cozbi, the daughter of the prince of Midian, their sister, who was slain on the day of the plague in the matter of Peor.'"
E whakatari ano hoki ratou i a koutou ki a ratou mahi tinihanga, i tinihangatia ra koutou e ratou i te mea mo Peoro, i te mea hoki mo Kohipi, tamahine a te rangatira o Miriana, he tuahine no ratou, i patua ra i te ra o te whiunga mo Peoro.
