Numbers 25
1 Forsothe in that tyme Israel dwellide in Sechym; and the puple dide fornycacioun with the douytris of Moab;
Ɛberɛ a Israelfoɔ bɔɔ atenaseɛ wɔ Sitim no, wɔn mu mmarima no bi hyɛɛ aseɛ ne Moab mmabaawa no bɔɔ adwaman de guu wɔn ho fi.
2 whiche douytris clepiden hem to her sacrifices, and thei eten, and worschipiden the goddis of tho douytris;
Saa mmabaawa yi too nsa frɛɛ wɔn sɛ wɔmmra wɔn afɔdeɛ a wɔbɔ ma wɔn anyame no ase. Ankyɛre biara, mmarima no kɔɔ wɔn apontoɔ ase na wɔsomm Moab anyame.
3 and Israel made sacrifice to Belphegor. And the Lord was wrooth,
Ɛberɛ tiawa bi akyi, Israelfoɔ no nyinaa kɔsom Baal-peor a ɔyɛ Moabfoɔ nyame. Yei maa Awurade bo fuu ne nkurɔfoɔ no yie.
4 and seide to Moises, Take thou alle the princes of the puple, and hange hem ayens the sunne in iebatis, that my wodnesse, `that is stronge veniaunce, be turned awai fro Israel.
Ɔhyɛɛ saa mmara yi maa Mose sɛ, “Kunkum mpanimfoɔ a wɔtuatua Israel mmusuakuo no ano no nyinaa. Sɛn wɔn wɔ Awurade anim awia ketee sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, nʼabufuo a ano yɛ den no bɛfiri wɔn so.”
5 And Moises seide to the iugis of Israel, Ech man sle his neiyboris, that maden sacrifice to Belphagor.
Enti, Mose hyɛɛ atemmufoɔ no ma wɔkunkumm wɔn a wɔsomm Baal-peor no nyinaa.
6 And, lo! oon of the sones of Israel entride bifor his britheren to `an hoore of Madian, in the siyt of Moises, and al the cumpeny of the sones of Israel, whiche wepten bifor the yatis of the tabernacle.
Nanso, Israelni ɔhantanni bi de Midiani ababaawa bi baa wɔn atenaeɛ hɔ maa Mose ne nnipa no nyinaa hunuu no ɛberɛ a na wɔn nyinaa gyina Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no ɛpono akyi retwa adwo no.
7 And whanne Phynees, the sone of Eleazar, sone of Aaron, preest, hadde seyn this, he roos fro the myddis of the multitude; and whanne he hadde take a swerd,
Ɛberɛ a Pinehas a ɔyɛ Eleasa babarima a na ɔyɛ ɔsɔfoɔ Aaron nana hunuu yei no, ɔhuri sɔɔ pea mu
8 he entride aftir the man of Israel in to the `hoore hows, and stikide thorou both togidere, that is, the man and the womman, in the places of gendryng. And the veniaunce ceesside fro the sones of Israel,
taa saa ɔbarima no so de no kɔwuraa ne ntomadan mu baabi a ɔfaa ɔbaa no. Ɔde pea no wowɔɔ ɔbarima no sane de wɔɔ ɔbaa no yafunu mu. Enti, ɔhaw no to twaa wɔ Israelfoɔ no mu,
9 and foure and twenti thousand of men weren slayn.
nanso ɛkɔsi saa ɛberɛ no, na nnipa mpem aduonu ɛnan awuwu dada.
10 And the Lord seide to Moises,
Afei, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ,
11 Fynees, the sone of Eleazar, sone of Aaron, preest, turnede away myn yre fro the sones of Israel; for he was stirid ayens hem bi my feruent loue, that Y my silf schulde not do awai the sones of Israel in my greet hete, `ether strong veniaunce.
“Eleasa babarima Pinehas a ɔyɛ ɔsɔfoɔ Aaron nana adwodwo mʼabufuo ano, ɛfiri sɛ, ɔbɔɔ mmɔden te sɛ me ara wɔ mʼanimuonyam ho, enti sɛdeɛ meyɛɛ mʼadwene sɛ mɛsɛe Israelfoɔ nyinaa no, magyae.
12 Therfor speke thou to hym, Lo! Y yyue to hym the pees of my couenaunt,
Enti ka kyerɛ no sɛ, me ne no rebɛyɛ asomdwoeɛ apam.
13 and it schal be an euerlastynge couenaunt of preesthod, as wel to hym silf as to his seed; for he louyde feruentli for his God, and he clenside the greet trespas of the sones of Israel.
Saa apam yi mu, ɔno ne nʼasefoɔ bɛyɛ asɔfoɔ afebɔɔ, ɛfiri sɛ watwe me, ne Onyankopɔn, ho ninkunu wɔ Israelfoɔ mu de ayɛ mpata ama wɔn.”
14 Forsothe the name of the man of Israel, that was slayn with the womman of Madian, was Zambri, the sone of Salu, duyk of the kynrede and lynage of Symeon.
Ɔbarima a wɔkumm no ne Midiani ababaawa no, na ne din de Simri a na ɔyɛ Salu a ɔtua Simeon abusuakuo ano no babarima.
15 Forsothe the womman of Madian that was slayn togidere, was clepid Cobri, the douyter of Sur, the nobleste prince of Madianytis.
Ɔbaa no nso, na ne din de Kosbi a na ɔyɛ Midianhene babarima Sur babaa.
16 And the Lord spak to Moises and seide,
Afei, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ,
17 `Madianytis feele you enemyes, and smyte ye hem;
“To hyɛ Midianfoɔ no so na sɛe wɔn,
18 for also thei diden enemyliche ayens you, and disseyueden thorow tresouns, bi the idol of Phegor, and bi `the douyter of Corbri, duyk of Madian, her sister, which douyter was sleyn in the dai of veniaunce, for the sacrilege of Phegor.
ɛfiri sɛ, wɔfaa mo sɛ atamfoɔ, na wɔdaadaa mo ma mosomm Baal-peor, ne Kosbi a ɔyɛ Midian ntuanoni babaa a wɔkumm no wɔ Peor ɔyaredɔm ɛda no.”
