Numbers 25
1 And Israel abode in Shittim, and the people began to commit whoredom with the daughters of Moab:
Panguva yakanga igere Israeri paShitimu, varume vakatanga kuita upombwe navakadzi vokuMoabhu,
2 for they called the people unto the sacrifices of their gods; and the people did eat, and bowed down to their gods.
avo vakavakoka kuti vauye kuzvibayiro zvavamwari vavo. Vanhu vakadya, vakapfugamira vamwari ava.
3 And Israel joined himself unto Baal-peor: and the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel.
Saka Israeri akabatana navo pakunamata Bhaari wePeori, uye kutsamwa kwaJehovha kukapfuta pamusoro pavo.
4 And the LORD said unto Moses, Take all the chiefs of the people, and hang them up unto the LORD before the sun, that the fierce anger of the LORD may turn away from Israel.
Jehovha akati kuna Mozisi, “Tora vatungamiri vose vavanhu ava, uvauraye uvaise pachena masikati machena pamberi paJehovha, kuti kutsamwa kunotyisa kwaJehovha kudzorwe kubva pana Israeri.”
5 And Moses said unto the judges of Israel, Slay ye every one his men that have joined themselves unto Baal-peor.
Saka Mozisi akati kuvatongi veIsraeri, “Mumwe nomumwe wenyu anofanira kuuraya varume ava vari pakati penyu, avo vakazvibatanidza pakunamata Bhaari wePeori.”
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, while they were weeping at the door of the tent of meeting.
Ipapo mumwe murume muIsraeri akauyisa kumhuri yake mukadzi womuMidhiani pamberi paMozisi chaipo, ungano yose yaIsraeri pavakanga vachichema vari pamukova weTende Rokusangana.
7 And 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;
Finehasi mwanakomana waEreazari, mwanakomana waAroni, muprista, akati achizviona, akabva paungano, akatora pfumo muruoko rwake;
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 belly. So the plague was stayed from the children of Israel.
uye akatevera muIsraeri uyo mutende. Akavabaya vose vari vaviri nepfumo kamwe chete, rikabaya muIsraeri rikapfuurira kundobaya muviri womuMidhiani. Ipapo denda rakanga riri pamusoro pavaIsraeri rakaguma;
9 And those that died by the plague were twenty and four thousand.
asi vose vakanga vafa nedenda vakasvika zviuru makumi maviri nezvina.
10 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Jehovha akati kuna Mozisi,
11 Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, hath turned my wrath away from the children of Israel, in that he was jealous with my jealousy among them, so that I consumed not the children of Israel in my jealousy.
“Finehasi mwanakomana waEreazari, mwanakomana waAroni, muprista adzora kutsamwa kwangu kubva pavaIsraeri; nokuti akanga ane shungu sedzangu nokuda kwokusakudzwa kwangu pakati pavo, saka handina kuzovaparadza neshungu dzangu.
12 Wherefore say, Behold, I give unto him my covenant of peace:
Naizvozvo umuudze kuti ndava kuita sungano yorugare naye.
13 and it shall be unto him, and to his seed after him, the covenant of an everlasting priesthood; because he was jealous for his God, and made atonement for the children of Israel.
Iye nezvizvarwa zvake vachava nesungano youprista husingaperi, nokuti akanga ane shungu nokukudzwa kwaMwari wake, akayananisira vaIsraeri.”
14 Now the name of the man of Israel that was slain, who was slain with the Midianitish woman, was Zimri, the son of Salu, a prince of a fathers’ house among the Simeonites.
Zita romuIsraeri akaurayiwa pamwe chete nomukadzi muMidhiani rainzi Zimuri mwanakomana waSaru, mutungamiri weimwe mhuri yaSimeoni.
15 And the name of the Midianitish woman that was slain was Cozbi, the daughter of Zur; he was head of the people of a fathers’ house in Midian.
Uye zita romukadzi muMidhiani akaurayiwa rakanga richinzi Kozibhi, mwanasikana waZuri, mukuru weimwe mhuri yavaMidhiani.
16 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Jehovha akati kuna Mozisi,
17 Vex the Midianites, and smite them:
“Muone vaMidhiani savavengi uye mugovauraya,
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 the prince of Midian, their sister, which was slain on the day of the plague in the matter of Peor.
nokuti ivo vakakuonai savavengi pavakakunyengerai paPeori uye nehanzvadzi yavo Kozibhi, mwanasikana womutungamiri wavaMidhiani, iye mukadzi akaurayiwa pakauya denda nokuda kwePeori.”
