Numbers 25
1 Israel stayed in Shittim, and the men began to prostitute themselves with women of Moab,
Israel kaminawk Shittim ah oh o naah, Moab canunawk hoiah nongpa nongpata zaehaih sak amtong o.
2 for the Moabites had invited the people to the sacrifices to their gods. So the people ate and bowed down to Moabite gods.
To nongpatanawk mah angmacae sithaw angbawnhaih ahmuen ah Israel kaminawk angzoh thai hanah pacae o; to kaminawk loe angbawnhaih buh aan to caak o moe, to ih sithawnawk hma ah akuep o.
3 The men of Israel joined in worshiping Baal of Peor, and Yahweh's anger was kindled against Israel.
To tiah Israel kaminawk mah Peor ahmuen ah Baal to bok o pongah, Angraeng palungphuihaih Israel kaminawk nuiah phak.
4 Yahweh said to Moses, “Kill all the leaders of the people and hang them up before me to expose them in the daylight, so that my fierce anger may turn away from Israel.”
To naah Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah, Hae kami zaehoikungnawk to kawk boih ah loe, zit kathok Angraeng palungphuihaih Israel khae hoi dip thai hanah, nihcae to khodai ah Angraeng hmaa ah qui hoiah bang ah, tiah a naa.
5 So Moses said to Israel's leaders, “Each of you must execute his people who have joined in worshiping Baal of Peor.”
To pongah Mosi mah Israel lokcaekkungnawk khaeah, Baal-Peor bokhaih ahmuen ah caeh kaminawk boih to hum oh, tiah a naa.
6 Then one of the men of Israel came and brought among his family members a Midianite woman. This happened in the sight of Moses and all the community of the people of Israel, while they were weeping at the entrance to the tent of meeting.
Khenah, Israel kami maeto mah, Mosi hoi amkhuenghaih kahni im thok taengah kaqah, kamkhueng angmah ih nawkamya Israel kaminawk boih hma ah, Midian nongpata maeto angzoh haih.
7 When Phinehas son of Eleazar son of Aaron the priest, saw that, he rose up from among the community and took a spear in his hand.
Qaima Aaron capa Eleazar, Eleazar capa Phinehas mah anih to hnuk naah, anih mah tayae to ban ah sin, kamkhueng kaminawk salak hoiah angthawk moe,
8 He followed the Israelite man into the tent and thrust the spear through both of their bodies, both the Israelite man and the woman. So a plague that God had sent on the people of Israel stopped.
to tiah zaehaih sah Israel kami ohhaih kahni im khoek to a pangh pacoengah, Israel kami hoi to nongpata to tayae hoiah zok ah takhawh hmaek. To naah Israel salak ih nathaih kasae to dip.
9 Those who died by the plague were twenty-four thousand in number.
Toe to ih kasae nathaih pongah kami sing hnet, sang palito duek o.
10 Yahweh spoke to Moses and said,
Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah,
11 “Phinehas son of Eleazar son of Aaron the priest, has turned my rage away from the people of Israel because he was passionate with my zeal among them. So I have not consumed the people of Israel in my fierceness.
Qaima Aaron capa Eleazar, Eleazar capa Phinehas loe, kai pakoehhaih bangah palungthin thacak kami ah oh pongah, Israel kaminawk ka hum han ai ah, Israel nuiah palung ka phuihaih to anih mah dipsak boeh.
12 Therefore say, 'Yahweh says, “Look, I am giving to Phinehas my covenant of peace.
To pongah, Khenah, anih khaeah angdaeh lokmaihaih to ka paek boeh;
13 For him and his descendants after him, it will be a covenant of an everlasting priesthood because he was zealous for me, his God. He has atoned for the people of Israel.”'”
anih loe Sithaw bokhaih bangah palungthin thacak moe, Israel kaminawk zae loih thai hanah, angbawnhaih a sak pongah, angmah hoi a caanawk khoek to dungzan ah qaima toksak hanah lokmaihaih to hnu tih, tiah a thuih pae.
14 Now the name of the Israelite man who was killed with the Midianite woman was Zimri son of Salu, a leader of an ancestor's family among the Simeonites.
Midian nongpata hoi nawnto hum ih Israel kami ahmin loe, Simeon acaeng zaehoikung ah kaom, Salu ih capa Zimri.
15 The name of the Midianite woman who was killed was Kozbi daughter of Zur, who was head of a tribe and family in Midian.
Hum ih Midian nongpata ahmin loe, Midian imthung takoh lu koek ah kaom, Zur canu Gozbi.
16 So Yahweh spoke to Moses and said,
Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah,
17 “Treat the Midianites as enemies and attack them,
Midian kaminawk to na misa baktiah poek ah loe hum ah;
18 for they treated you like enemies with their deceitfulness. They led you into evil in the case of Peor and in the case of their sister Kozbi, the daughter of a leader in Midian, who was killed on the day of the plague in the matter of Peor.”
Peor sithaw to bok pongah, nathaih kasae phakhaih niah hum ih, Midian kaminawk zaehoikung ih canu, nihcae ih tanu ah kaom, Gozbi hoi Peor kawng pongah, nangcae to ang ling o boeh, tiah a naa.
