Numbers 25
1 While the Israelis were camped at a place called Acacia [Grove], some of the men caused themselves to become unacceptable to God by having sex with some of the women of the Moab [people-group who lived in that area].
NOHO iho la ka Iseraela ma Sitima: a hoomaka iho la, na kanaka e moe kolohe me na kaikamahine a ka Moaba.
2 Then those women invited the men to come when the sacrifices were being offered to their gods. The Israeli men [accepted]. They went to the feasts with the women and worshiped the gods of the Moab people-group.
Koi mai la lakou i na kanaka e hele aku i na ahaaina hoomana a na akua o lakou: ai iho la na kanaka, a kulou iho la i na akua o lakou.
3 By doing that, those Israeli people joined the women in worshiping the god Baal [add] the Moab people-group thought lived on Peor Mountain. That caused Yahweh to become very angry with his people.
Hui pu aku la ka Iseraela me Baalapeora: a ua hoaia mai la ka inaina o Iehova i ka Iseraela.
4 Yahweh said this to Moses/me: “Seize all the leaders of those men who are doing this and execute them while I am watching. Do that in the daytime. After you do that, I will no longer be angry with the Israeli people.”
Olelo mai la o Iehova ia Mose, E lawe i na luna a pau o kanaka, e kau aku ia lakou imua o Iehova ma ka la, i hoohuliia'ku ai ka inaina nui o Iehova mai ka Iseraela aku.
5 So Moses/I said to the other Israeli leaders, “Each of you must execute your men who have joined [others] in worshiping Baal.”
Olelo aku la o Mose i na lunakanawai o ka Iseraela, E pepehi oukou a pau i na kanaka o oukou i hui pu ia'ku me Baalapeora.
6 [But later], while Moses/I and many [HYP] other people were crying at the entrance of the Sacred Tent, while they/we were watching, one of the Israeli men brought a woman from the Midian people-group into his tent [and started to have sex with her].
Aia hoi, hele mai kekahi mamo a Iseraela, a lawe mai la i kekahi wahine no Midiana i na hoahanau ona, imua o na maka o Mose, a imua o na maka o ke anaina kanaka a pau o na mamo a Iseraela, e uwe ana lakou ma ka puka o ka halelewa o ke anaina.
7 When Phinehas, who was the grandson of Aaron, saw that, he grabbed a spear
A ike aku la o Pinehasa ke keiki a Eleazara ke keiki a Aarona ke kahuna, ku ae la ia mawaena o ke anaina kanaka, a lawe ae la ia i ka ihe ma kona lima;
8 and rushed into the man’s tent. He thrust the spear completely through the man’s body and into the woman’s belly [and killed both of them]. When he did that, the (plague/serious illness) [that had started to strike the Israelis] stopped.
Hahai aku la ia mamuli o ua kanaka la o ka Iseraela maloko o ka halelewa, a hou iho la ia laua a elua, i ke kanaka o ka Iseraela a me ka wahine ma kona opu. Pela no i paleia'i ke. ahulau mai na mamo a Iseraela aku.
9 But 24,000 people had already died [from that plague].
A o ka poe i make i ke ahulau, he iwakaluakumamaha tausani lakou.
10 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,
Olelo mai la o Iehova ia Mose, i mai la,
11 “Phinehas has caused me to stop being angry with the Israeli people, by being as eager as I am [to stop this sinful behavior]. I was ready to get rid of all the Israeli people because I was extremely angry, but Phinehas has prevented me from doing that.
O Pinehasa ke keiki a Eleazara, ke keiki a Aarona ke kahuna, ua hoohuli ae ia i kuu inaina mai na mamo a Iseraela aku, no kona lili ana no'u iwaena o lakou; i hoopau ole ai au i na mamo a Iseraela i kuu lili ana.
12 Now tell him that I am making a special peace agreement with him.
Nolaila, e i aku oe, Aia hoi, ke haawi aku nei au i kuu berita nona e malu ai.
13 In this agreement, I am promising to give to him and to his descendants the right/authority to be priests. I am doing this because [he showed that] he was very eager to honor me, his God, by stopping this sinful behavior. He has caused the Israeli people to become acceptable to me again by causing them to be forgiven for their sin.”
Nona no ia, a no kana poe mamo mahope ona, o ka berita o ka oihana kahuna mau loa; no ka mea, ua lili oia no kona Akua, a ua hookalahala oia no na mamo a Iseraela.
14 The Israeli man who was killed with the woman of the Moab people-group was named Zimri. He was the son of Salu, who was the leader of a family from the tribe of Simeon.
O ka inoa o ke kanaka Iseraela i pepehiia, i pepehi pu ia me ka wahine o Midiana, oia o Zimeri ke keiki a Salu, he luna o ka ohana kupuna no ka Simeona.
15 The woman’s name was Cozbi. She was the daughter of Zur, who was the leader of one of the clans of the Midian people-group.
A o ka inoa o ka wahine no Midiana i pepehiia, oia o Kosebi, ke kaikamahine a Zura, he luna ia o kekahi poe kanaka, no ka ohana alii ma Midiana.
16 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,
Olelo mai la o Iehova ia Mose, i mai la,
17 “[Take your men and] attack the Midian people-group and kill them.
E kaua aku oe i ko Midiana, a e pepehi ia lakou:
18 They have become your enemies, because they tricked you Israeli people and induced/persuaded many of you to worship Baal, and because [one of your men had sex with] Cozbi, who was the daughter of a leader of the Midian people-group. She was killed at the time the plague [started because the people sinned] at Peor [Mountain].”
No ka mea, ke hoopilikia mai nei lakou ia oukou, me ka hoowalewale ana a lakou i hoowalewale mai ai ia oukou ma ka mea o Peora, a ma ka mea o Kosebi ke kaikamahine a kekahi alii o Midiana, ko lakou kaikuwahine, o ka mea i pepehiia i ka la o ke ahulau no Peora.
