Numbers 25
1 And it remained Israel in Shittim and it began the people to commit fornication into [the] daughters of Moab.
Isirayiri bwe yali mu Sitimu, abasajja ne batandika okwenda n’abakazi ba Mowaabu,
2 And they invited the people to [the] sacrifices of gods their and it ate the people and they bowed down to gods their.
abaabayitanga ku kuwaayo ebiweebwayo eri bakatonda baabwe. Abaana ba Isirayiri ne balya era ne bavuunamira bakatonda abo.
3 And it joined itself Israel to Baal Peor and it burned [the] anger of Yahweh on Israel.
Bw’atyo Isirayiri n’ayingirira eby’okusinzanga Baali ow’e Peoli. Obusungu bwa Mukama ne bubabuubuukirako.
4 And he said Yahweh to Moses take all [the] leaders of the people and impale them to Yahweh before the sun so may it turn away [the] burning of [the] anger of Yahweh from Israel.
Mukama n’agamba Musa nti, “Kwata abakulembeze b’abantu bano obatte, obaanike mu maaso ga Mukama abantu bonna we babalabira, obusungu bwa Mukama bulyoke bukkakkane buve ku Isirayiri.”
5 And he said Moses to [the] judges of Israel kill everyone men his who have joined themselves to Baal Peor.
Musa n’agamba abalamuzi ba Isirayiri nti, “Buli omu ku mmwe atte abo abali mu mmwe abeegasse mu kusinza Baali ow’e Peoli.”
6 And there! a man from [the] people of Israel [was] coming and he brought near to brothers his the Midianite [woman] to [the] eyes of Moses and to [the] eyes of all [the] congregation of [the] people of Israel and they [were] weeping [the] entrance of [the] tent of meeting.
Kale, laba, omusajja omu ku baana ba Isirayiri n’aleeta mu maka ge omukazi Omumidiyaani awo mu maaso ga Musa, nga n’ekibiina kyonna ekya Isirayiri bali awo bakaabira mu mulyango gwa Weema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu.
7 And he saw [it] Phinehas [the] son of Eleazar [the] son of Aaron the priest and he arose from among the congregation and he took a spear in hand his.
Naye Finekaasi mutabani wa Eriyazaali, mutabani wa Alooni kabona, bwe yakiraba, n’asituka mu kibiina n’akwata effumu mu mukono gwe
8 And he went after [the] man of Israel into the tent and he pierced through both of them [the] man of Israel and the woman into belly her and it was restrained the plague from on [the] people of Israel.
n’agoberera Omuyisirayiri n’amutuusa mu weema. Bombi n’abafumita effumu ne liyita mu Muyisirayiri ne liggukira ne mu mubiri gw’omukazi, ne libayitamu bombi. Awo kawumpuli eyali alumbye abaana ba Isirayiri n’akoma.
9 And they were those [who] died by the plague four and twenty thousand.
N’abo abaafa kawumpuli baawera emitwalo ebiri mu enkumi nnya.
10 And he spoke Yahweh to Moses saying.
Mukama n’agamba Musa nti,
11 Phinehas [the] son of Eleazar [the] son of Aaron the priest he has turned back rage my from against [the] people of Israel because was zealous he zeal my in midst of them and not I made an end of [the] people of Israel in zeal my.
“Finekaasi mutabani wa Eriyazaali, mutabani wa Alooni kabona, ankyusisizza obusungu bwange ne mbuggya ku baana ba Isirayiri; kubanga obusungu bwe bwabuubuuka nnyo ng’obwange olw’obutafaayo ku kitiibwa kyange, kyenvudde sibazikiriza kubamalawo.
12 Therefore say here I [am] about to give to him covenant my peace.
Noolwekyo mutegeeze nti, ‘Laba nkola naye endagaano ey’emirembe.
13 And it will belong to him and to offspring his after him a covenant of priesthood of perpetuity because that he was zealous for God his and he made atonement on [the] people of Israel.
Ye, ne bazzukulu be bonna banaabanga mu ndagaano ey’obwakabona obw’emirembe gyonna, kubanga yasunguwalira abaana ba Isirayiri olw’okutyoboola ekitiibwa kya Katonda we, n’abatangiririra.’”
14 And [the] name of [the] man of Israel who was struck down who he was struck down with the Midianite [woman] [was] Zimri [the] son of Salu a leader of a house of a father of the Simeonite[s].
Omusajja Omuyisirayiri eyattirwa awamu n’omukazi Omumidiyaani yali Zimuli mutabani wa Salu eyali omukulembeze mu kika kya Simyoni.
15 And [the] name of the woman who was struck down the Midianite [woman] [was] Cozbi [the] daughter of Zur [was] a leader of tribes a house of a father in Midian he.
N’erinnya ly’omukazi Omumidiyaani eyattibwa nga ye Kozebi muwala wa Zuuli, eyali omukulembeze mu kimu ku bika bya Midiyaani.
16 And he spoke Yahweh to Moses say.
Mukama n’agamba Musa nti,
17 oppose The Midianites and you will strike down them.
“Abamidiyaani obayigganyanga n’obatta,
18 For [are] opposers they you by deceitfulness their which they have dealt deceptively to you on [the] matter of Peor and on [the] matter of Cozbi [the] daughter of [the] leader of Midian sister their who was struck down on [the] day of the plague on [the] matter of Peor.
kubanga baayagala okubazikiriza n’enkwe zaabwe bwe baabakyamya e Peoli, n’olwa Kozebi muwala w’omukulembeze w’e Midiyaani, omukazi oyo eyattibwa ku lunaku okwajjira kawumpuli olw’ebyo ebyali e Peoli.”
