Mose 4 25
1 Esime Israelviwo ƒu asaɖa anyi ɖe Sitim la, woƒe ɖekakpui aɖewo de asi ahasiwɔwɔ me kple Moab ɖetugbiwo.
And Israel abode in Shittim. And the people began to play the harlot with the daughters of Moab,
2 Ɖetugbi siawo kplɔa wo yia woƒe mawuwo ƒe vɔsawo teƒewo. Le ɣeyiɣi kpui aɖe megbe la, ɖekakpuiawo megadea vɔsawo teƒewo ɖeɖe ko o, ke boŋ wodea ta agu na woƒe legbawo.
for they called the people to the sacrifices of their gods. And the people ate, and bowed down to their gods.
3 Sẽe kple sẽe ko la, Israelviwo katã de asi Moabtɔwo ƒe mawu, Baal Peor subɔsubɔ me. Yehowa ƒe dɔmedzoe bi ɖe Israelviwo ŋu.
And Israel joined himself to Baal-peor, and the anger of Jehovah was kindled against Israel.
4 Yehowa de se sia na Mose be, “Wu Israel ƒe towo katã ƒe kplɔlawo. Trɔ wo ɖe ati nu le Yehowa ŋkume le ŋdɔkutsu dzati nu ale be nye dɔmedzoe ɖe ameawo ŋu nu natso.”
And Jehovah said to Moses, Take all the chiefs of the people, and hang them up to Jehovah before the sun, that the fierce anger of Jehovah may turn away from Israel.
5 Ale Mose ɖe gbe na Israel ʋɔnudrɔ̃lawo be woawu ame siwo katã subɔ Baal Peor.
And Moses said to the judges of Israel, Kill ye every one his men who have joined themselves to Baal-peor.
6 Gbe ɖeka la, Israel ŋutsu aɖe kplɔ Midian ɖetugbi aɖe amemabumabutɔe va asaɖa la me le Mose kple ameawo katã ŋkume, esime wonɔ avi fam le Agbadɔ la ƒe ʋɔtru nu.
And, behold, one of the sons 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 sons of Israel, while they were weeping at the door of the tent of meeting.
7 Esi Finehas, nunɔla Eleazar ƒe viŋutsu kple nunɔla Aron ƒe tɔgbuiyɔvi kpɔ nu sia la, etso zia, tsɔ akplɔ,
And when Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw it, he rose up from the midst of the congregation, and took a spear in his hand.
8 ƒu du ti Israel ŋutsu la yome yi eƒe agbadɔ me, afi si wòkplɔ ɖetugbi la yii. Etɔ akplɔ ŋutsu la wòto eƒe dɔ me do heŋɔ dɔme na ɖetugbi la hã. Ale dɔvɔ̃ la nu tso
And he went after the man of Israel into the tent, and thrust both of them through, the man of Israel, and the woman through her body. So the plague was stayed from the sons of Israel.
9 esime wòwu ame akpe blaeve-vɔ-ene xoxo.
And those who died by the plague were twenty-four thousand.
10 Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be,
And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
11 “Finehas, Eleazar ƒe viŋutsu kple nunɔla Aron ƒe tɔgbuiyɔvi na nye dɔmedzoe nu tso, elabena eya hã do dɔmedzoe abe nye ke ene le nye bubu ta. Eya ta nyemagatsrɔ̃ Israel blibo la abe ale si meɖo ene o.
Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, has turned my wrath away from the sons of Israel, in that he was jealous with my jealousy among them, so that I did not consume the sons of Israel in my jealousy.
12 Eya ta gblɔ nɛ be, mele nye ŋutifafa ƒe nubabla wɔm kplii.
Therefore say, Behold, I give to him my covenant of peace.
13 Eya kple eƒe dzidzimeviwo anɔ nubabla me kplim tso nunɔladɔwɔwɔ tegbetegbe ŋu, elabena etsi dzi ɖe eƒe Mawu ƒe bubu ŋu ele wòlé avu ɖe Israelviwo nu.”
And it shall be to him, and to his seed after him, the covenant of an everlasting priesthood, because he was jealous for his God, and made atonement for the sons of Israel.
14 Israelvi si wowu kple Midian ɖetugbi la ŋkɔe nye Zimri si nye Salu, ame si nye Simeon ƒe to la ƒe kplɔla aɖe la ƒe viŋutsu.
Now the name of the man of Israel who was slain, who was slain with the Midianite woman, was Zimri, the son of Salu, a ruler of a fathers' house among the Simeonites.
15 Ɖetugbi la ŋkɔe nye Kozbi si nye Zur, Midiantɔwo ƒe fiavi aɖe ƒe vinyɔnu.
And 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.
16 Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be,
And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
17 “Miwɔ Midiantɔwo abe miaƒe futɔwo ene, eye miawu wo,
Vex the Midianites, and smite them,
18 elabena wole mia tsrɔ̃m kple woƒe nu vɔ̃wo. Wona miele Baal subɔm, eye wona miele mɔ tram hele dɔvɔ̃ lém abe ale si miekpɔe fifi laa to Kozbi ƒe ku me ene.”
for they vex you with their wiles, with which they have beguiled you in the matter of Peor, and in the matter of Cozbi, the daughter of the ruler of Midian, their sister, who was slain on the day of the plague in the matter of Peor.
