5 Ale Mose ɖe gbe na Israel ʋɔnudrɔ̃lawo be woawu ame siwo katã subɔ Baal Peor.
And Moises seide to the iugis of Israel, Ech man sle his neiyboris, that maden sacrifice to Belphagor.

10 Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be,
And the Lord seide to Moises,
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.
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.
12 Eya ta gblɔ nɛ be, mele nye ŋutifafa ƒe nubabla wɔm kplii.
Therfor speke thou to hym, Lo! Y yyue to hym the pees of my couenaunt,

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.

16 Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be,
And the Lord spak to Moises and seide,
17 “Miwɔ Midiantɔwo abe miaƒe futɔwo ene, eye miawu wo,
`Madianytis feele you enemyes, and smyte ye hem;
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.”
