Numbers 25
1 And it remained Israel in Shittim and it began the people to commit fornication into [the] daughters of Moab.
Israeli alipokuwa akikaa Shitimu, wanaume wa Israeli walianza kuzini na wanawake wa Kimoabu,
2 And they invited the people to [the] sacrifices of gods their and it ate the people and they bowed down to gods their.
ambao waliwaalika kushiriki katika kutoa kafara kwa miungu yao. Watu wakala na kusujudu mbele ya miungu hii.
3 And it joined itself Israel to Baal Peor and it burned [the] anger of Yahweh on Israel.
Kwa hiyo Israeli akaungana katika kumwabudu Baali wa Peori. Hasira ya Bwana ikawaka dhidi yao.
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.
Bwana akamwambia Mose, “Uwachukue viongozi wote wa watu hawa, uwaue na uwaweke hadharani mchana peupe mbele za Bwana, ili hasira kali ya Bwana iweze kuondoka kwa Israeli.”
5 And he said Moses to [the] judges of Israel kill everyone men his who have joined themselves to Baal Peor.
Kwa hiyo Mose akawaambia waamuzi wa Israeli, “Kila mmoja wenu lazima awaue wale wanaume wenu, walioshiriki katika kumwabudu Baali wa Peori.”
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.
Ndipo mwanaume wa Kiisraeli akamleta mwanamke wa Kimidiani katika jamaa yake palepale mbele ya Mose na mkutano wote wa Israeli walipokuwa wakilia kwenye lango la Hema la Kukutania.
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.
Finehasi mwana wa Eleazari, mwana wa kuhani Aroni, alipoona jambo hili, akaondoka kwenye kusanyiko, akachukua mkuki mkononi mwake,
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.
akamfuata yule Mwisraeli ndani ya hema. Akawachoma mkuki wote wawili kwa pamoja, ukapenya kwenye mwili wa yule Mwisraeli na mwili wa yule mwanamke. Ndipo tauni iliyokuwepo dhidi ya Waisraeli ikakoma.
9 And they were those [who] died by the plague four and twenty thousand.
Lakini wale waliokufa kwa hiyo tauni walikuwa watu 24,000.
10 And he spoke Yahweh to Moses saying.
Bwana akamwambia Mose,
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.
“Finehasi mwana wa Eleazari, mwana wa kuhani Aroni, amegeuza hasira yangu mbali na Waisraeli, kwa sababu alikuwa na wivu kama nilio nao kwa heshima yangu miongoni mwao, hata kwamba kwa wivu wangu sikuwaangamiza.
12 Therefore say here I [am] about to give to him covenant my peace.
Kwa hiyo mwambie Finehasi ninafanya Agano langu la amani naye.
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.
Yeye pamoja na wazao wake watakuwa na Agano la ukuhani milele, kwa sababu alikuwa na wivu kwa ajili ya heshima ya Mungu wake, na akafanya upatanisho kwa Waisraeli.”
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].
Jina la Mwisraeli ambaye aliuawa pamoja na mwanamke wa Kimidiani ni Zimri mwana wa Salu, kiongozi wa jamaa ya Simeoni.
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.
Jina la mwanamke wa Kimidiani aliyeuawa ni Kozbi binti wa Suri, aliyekuwa mkuu wa kabila la jamaa ya Wamidiani.
16 And he spoke Yahweh to Moses say.
Bwana akamwambia Mose,
17 oppose The Midianites and you will strike down them.
“Watendeeni Wamidiani kama adui na mwaue,
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.
kwa sababu wao waliwatendea kama adui wakati waliwadanganya katika tukio la Peori na dada yao Kozbi, binti wa kiongozi wa Kimidiani, mwanamke ambaye aliuawa wakati tauni ilikuja kama matokeo ya tukio la Peori.”
