Resansman 25
1 Pandan Israël te rete nan Sittim, pèp la te kòmanse pwostitiye tèt yo avèk fi Moab yo.
When the Israelites were staying at Shittim the men started to have sex with Moabite women
2 Paske yo te envite pèp la pou vini nan sakrifis dye pa yo. Pèp la te manje, e te bese devan dye yo a.
who invited them to the sacrifices made to their gods. The Israelites ate the pagan meals and bowed down before these gods.
3 Konsa, Israël te vin jwenn yo menm avèk Baal Peor, e SENYÈ a te vin fache kont Israël.
In this way the Israelites devoted themselves in worship to Baal of Peor, and the Lord was angry with them.
4 SENYÈ a te di a Moïse: “Pran tout chèf a pèp la e touye yo gwo lajounen devan SENYÈ a, pou gran kòlè a SENYÈ a kapab vire kite Israël.”
The Lord told Moses, “Arrest all the Israelite leaders and kill them before the Lord where everyone can see in order to turn the Lord's furious anger away from the people.”
5 Konsa, Moïse te di a jij Israël yo: “Chak nan nou va touye pwòp mesye pa li ki te jwenn yo mem avèk Baal Peor la.”
So Moses instructed Israel's judges, “Each of you has to kill all of your men who have devoted themselves to worshiping Baal of Peor.”
6 Alò, vwala, youn nan fis Israël yo te vini pou te mennen bay a fanmi li yo yon fanm Madyanit, devan zye Moïse e devan zye a tout kongregasyon fis Israël yo, pandan yo tout t ap kriye devan pòtay tant asanble a.
Right then an Israelite man brought a Midianite woman to his family tent in full view of Moses and all the Israelites as they were crying at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.
7 Lè Phinées, fis Éléazar, fis a Aaron, prèt la, te wè sa, li te leve nan mitan kongregasyon an. Li te pran yon frenn nan men l,
When he saw this, Phinehas, son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, left the assembly, grabbed a spear
8 epi li te ale dèyè Izrayelit la nan tant lan e li te frennen tranche kò yo toulède nèt, mesye Israël la ak fanm nan. Konsa gwo epidemi sou fis Israël yo te vin sispann.
and followed the man into his tent. There Phinehas drove the spear through both of them, through the Israelite and on into the woman's stomach. This action stopped the plague that had started to kill the Israelites,
9 Sila ki te mouri yo akoz gwo epidemi an se te venn-kat-mil.
but 24,000 had already died.
10 Alò, SENYÈ a te pale avèk Moïse. Li te di:
The Lord told Moses,
11 “Phinées, fis a Éléazar, fis a Aaron, prèt la, te fè detounen kòlè Mwen vè fis Israël yo, akoz li te jalou avèk jalouzi pa Mwen an pami yo; epi konsa, Mwen pa t detwi fis Israël yo nan jalouzi pa Mwen an.
“Phinehas son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, has turned my anger away from the Israelites, because out of all of them he was passionately dedicated to me, so I did not destroy the Israelites in my passionate anger.
12 “Pou sa pale: ‘Gade byen, Mwen bay li akò lapè Mwen.
So make an announcement that I am granting him my peace agreement.
13 Li va pou li avèk desandan apre li yo, yon akò pozisyon prèt pou tout tan, akoz ke li te jalou pou Bondye li a, e li te fè ekspiyasyon pou fis Israël yo.’”
It will be an agreement that ensures a permanent priesthood for him and his descendants, because he was passionately dedicated to his God and set the Israelites right.”
14 Alò, non a Izrayelit ki te touye avèk fanm Madyanit la se te Zimri, fis Salu, yon chèf kay pami Simeyonit yo.
The name of the Israelite who was killed with the Midianite woman was Zimri, son of Salu, a family leader of the tribe of Simeon.
15 Non a fanm Madyanit ki te touye a se te Cozbi, fi a Zur, ki te chèf kay zansèt a yon pèp nan Madian.
The name of the Midianite woman who was killed was Cozbi, daughter of Zur, a family leader of a Midianite tribe.
16 Alò, SENYÈ a te pale avèk Moïse e te di:
The Lord told Moses,
17 “Se pou ou vin mechan avèk Madyanit yo, e frape yo;
“Attack the Midianites and kill them,
18 paske yo te mechan avèk nou avèk riz pa yo, avèk sila, yo twonpe nou nan zafè Peor la ak nan zafè Cozbi a, fi a chèf Madian an, sè ki te touye nan jou gwo epidemi an pou koz a Peor a.”
because they attacked you deceptively, leading you astray by using Peor and their woman Cozbi, the daughter of the Midianite leader—the woman who was killed on the day the plague came because of their devotion to Peor.”
