Mose 4 25
1 Esime Israelviwo ƒu asaɖa anyi ɖe Sitim la, woƒe ɖekakpui aɖewo de asi ahasiwɔwɔ me kple Moab ɖetugbiwo.
Ngesikhathi u-Israyeli esehlala eShithima, amadoda aqala ukuhlobonga labafazi bamaMowabi,
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.
bona abamema amadoda ako-Israyeli ukuba eze emihlatshelweni yabonkulunkulu babo. Abantu laba babesidla ukudla kwabonkulunkulu labo njalo bebakhothamele.
3 Sẽe kple sẽe ko la, Israelviwo katã de asi Moabtɔwo ƒe mawu, Baal Peor subɔsubɔ me. Yehowa ƒe dɔmedzoe bi ɖe Israelviwo ŋu.
Ngakho u-Israyeli wahlanganyela ekukhonzeni uBhali wasePheyori. Yikho uThixo wabathukuthelela kakhulu.
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.”
UThixo wathi kuMosi, “Thatha bonke abakhokheli balababantu, ubabulale njalo ubeke izidumbu zabo egcekeni emini libalele phambi kukaThixo, ukuze intukuthelo eyesabekayo kaThixo isuke ku-Israyeli.”
5 Ale Mose ɖe gbe na Israel ʋɔnudrɔ̃lawo be woawu ame siwo katã subɔ Baal Peor.
Ngakho uMosi wathi kubahluleli bako-Israyeli, “Kumele ukuthi munye ngamunye wenu abulale amadoda akini lawo asehlanganyela ekukhonzeni uBhali wasePheyori.”
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.
Kwathi indoda ethile yako-Israyeli yaletha umfazi woMidiyani emulini yayo khonapho phambi kukaMosi laphambi kwabako-Israyeli bonke ababebuthene bekhala esangweni lethente lokuhlangana.
7 Esi Finehas, nunɔla Eleazar ƒe viŋutsu kple nunɔla Aron ƒe tɔgbuiyɔvi kpɔ nu sia la, etso zia, tsɔ akplɔ,
Kwathi uFinehasi indodana ka-Eliyazari indodana ka-Aroni, umphristi, ekubona lokho, watshiya ababebuthene,
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
wathatha umkhonto wayilandela indoda leyo ethenteni. Wagadla ngomkhonto wabagwaza bobabili wayathutsha ngale komʼIsrayeli wangena wayathutshela esiswini sowesifazane. Ngakho sasesiphela isifo esasesihlasele abako-Israyeli;
9 esime wòwu ame akpe blaeve-vɔ-ene xoxo.
kodwa labo abasebefile ngenxa yesifo babezinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amabili lane.
10 Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be,
UThixo wathi kuMosi,
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.
“UFinehasi indodana ka-Eliyazari indodana ka-Aroni umphristi, uqedile ukuthukuthelela kwami abantu bako-Israyeli, ngoba wayetshisekela udumo lwami phakathi kwabo njengami, ukuze ngesihawu sami ngingabaqedi.
12 Eya ta gblɔ nɛ be, mele nye ŋutifafa ƒe nubabla wɔm kplii.
Ngalokho umtshele ukuthi sengisenza isivumelwano sokuthula laye.
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.”
Yena kanye lezizukulwane zakhe bazakuba lesivumelwano sobuphristi esimi kokuphela, ngoba utshisekelele udumo lukaNkulunkulu wakhe njalo wenzele abako-Israyeli indlela yokubuyisana.”
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.
Ibizo lendoda yako-Israyeli eyabulawa kanye lowesifazane weMidiyani kwakunguZimri indodana kaSalu, umkhokheli wabemuli yamaSimiyoni.
15 Ɖetugbi la ŋkɔe nye Kozbi si nye Zur, Midiantɔwo ƒe fiavi aɖe ƒe vinyɔnu.
Njalo ibizo lowesifazane woMidiyani owabulawayo lalinguKhozibhi indodakazi kaZuri, induna yesizwana semuli yamaMidiyani.
16 Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be,
UThixo wathi kuMosi,
17 “Miwɔ Midiantɔwo abe miaƒe futɔwo ene, eye miawu wo,
“Kumele liphathe amaMidiyani njengezitha njalo liwabulale,
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.”
ngoba aliphathe njengezitha alikhohlisa ngendaba kaPheyori kanye lodadewabo uKhozibhi indodakazi yomkhokheli wamaMidiyani, owesifazane owabulawa ngesikhathi sokuhlasela kwesifo esabakhona ngenxa kaPheyori.”
