Numbers 25
1 Israel stayed in Shittim; and the people began to play the prostitute with the daughters of Moab;
Kane oyudo jo-Israel odak Shitim, chwo nochako terore gi monde jo-Moab,
2 for they called the people to the sacrifices of their gods. The people ate and bowed down to their gods.
mane ogwelogi e chiwo misengini ne nyisechegi. Ji nochiemo moyiengʼ kendo negipodho auma ka gilamo nyisechegi.
3 Israel joined himself to Baal Peor, and the LORD’s anger burnt against Israel.
Omiyo Israel noriwore kodgi e yor lamo Baal mar Peor. Kendo mirima nomako Jehova Nyasaye ahinya kodgi.
4 The LORD said to Moses, “Take all the chiefs of the people, and hang them up to the LORD before the sun, that the fierce anger of the LORD may turn away from Israel.”
Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa niya, “Kaw jotend jogi duto, neg-gi kendo dhurgi e lela e nyim Jehova Nyasaye, mondo omi mirimb Jehova Nyasaye owuog kuom Israel.”
5 Moses said to the judges of Israel, “Everyone kill his men who have joined themselves to Baal Peor.”
Omiyo Musa nowacho ne jongʼad bura mag Israel niya, “Ngʼato ka ngʼato kuomu nyaka neg jou machwo ma oseriwore e lamo Baal mar Peor.”
6 Behold, one of the children of Israel came and brought to his brothers a Midianite 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.
Eka ja-Israel moro nobiro gi nyar jo-Midian e hembe ka Musa neno kaachiel gi oganda jo-Israel duto mane oyudo ywak e dho Hemb Romo.
7 When Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw it, he rose up from the middle of the congregation, and took a spear in his hand.
Kane Finehas wuod Eliazar, ma wuod Harun jadolo, noneno ma, nowuok e chokruokno, mokawo tongʼ e lwete,
8 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 body. So the plague was stopped amongst the children of Israel.
kendo noluwo bangʼ ja-Israelno nyaka e hema. Nochwowogi duto moriwogi gi tongʼ. Eka tho mane osenego jo-Israel norumo;
9 Those who died by the plague were twenty-four thousand.
to ji mane tho ma kamano onego ne gin ji alufu piero ariyo gangʼwen.
10 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa niya,
11 “Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, has turned my wrath away from the children of Israel, in that he was jealous with my jealousy amongst them, so that I didn’t consume the children of Israel in my jealousy.
“Finehas wuod Eliazar, ma wuod Harun jadolo, osetieko mirimba kuom jo-Israel; nimar en gi nyiego machal gi mara; mano emomiyo ne ok atiekogi kata obedo nine an kod mirima kodgi kamano.
12 Therefore say, ‘Behold, I give to him my covenant of peace.
Emomiyo nyise ni aloso singruok mar kwe kode.
13 It shall be to him, and to his offspring after him, the covenant of an everlasting priesthood, because he was jealous for his God, and made atonement for the children of Israel.’”
Asingorane ni en kod nyikwaye ginibed jodolo maga nyaka chiengʼ, nikech ne en jasinani kuom miyo Nyasache duongʼ kendo negichiwo misango mar pwodho jo-Israel e richo.”
14 Now the name of the man of Israel that was slain, who was slain with the Midianite woman, was Zimri, the son of Salu, a prince of a fathers’ house amongst the Simeonites.
Nying ja-Israel mane onegi gi nyar jo-Midian ne en Zimri wuod Salu, mane en jatend dhood Simeon.
15 The name of the Midianite woman who was slain was Cozbi, the daughter of Zur. He was head of the people of a fathers’ house in Midian.
To nying nyar jo-Midian mane onegi ne en Kozbi ma nyar Zur, ma wuon-gi ne en jatend dhood jo-Midian.
16 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa niya,
17 “Harass the Midianites, and strike them;
“Sanduru jo-Midian kendo uneg-gi,
18 for they harassed you with their wiles, wherein they have deceived you in the matter of Peor, and in the incident regarding Cozbi, the daughter of the prince of Midian, their sister, who was slain on the day of the plague in the matter of Peor.”
nikech ne githagou gi timbegi maricho mane gitimo Peor kendo kuom wach Kozbi ma nyar jatend Midian mane onegi ndalo mane yamb tho obiro nikech gima notimore Peor.”
