Resansman 25
1 Pandan Israël te rete nan Sittim, pèp la te kòmanse pwostitiye tèt yo avèk fi Moab yo.
Israel stayed in Shittim, and the men began to prostitute themselves with women of Moab,
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.
for the Moabites had invited the people to the sacrifices to their gods. So the people ate and bowed down to Moabite gods.
3 Konsa, Israël te vin jwenn yo menm avèk Baal Peor, e SENYÈ a te vin fache kont Israël.
The men of Israel joined in worshiping Baal of Peor, and Yahweh's anger was kindled against Israel.
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.”
Yahweh said to Moses, “Kill all the leaders of the people and hang them up before me to expose them in the daylight, so that my fierce anger may turn away from Israel.”
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 said to Israel's leaders, “Each of you must execute his people who have joined in 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.
Then one of the men of Israel came and brought among his family members a Midianite woman. This happened in the sight of Moses and all the community of the people of Israel, while they were weeping 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 Phinehas son of Eleazar son of Aaron the priest, saw that, he rose up from among the community and took a spear in his hand.
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.
He followed the Israelite man into the tent and thrust the spear through both of their bodies, both the Israelite man and the woman. So a plague that God had sent on the people of Israel stopped.
9 Sila ki te mouri yo akoz gwo epidemi an se te venn-kat-mil.
Those who died by the plague were twenty-four thousand in number.
10 Alò, SENYÈ a te pale avèk Moïse. Li te di:
Yahweh spoke to Moses and said,
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 son of Aaron the priest, has turned my rage away from the people of Israel because he was passionate with my zeal among them. So I have not consumed the people of Israel in my fierceness.
12 “Pou sa pale: ‘Gade byen, Mwen bay li akò lapè Mwen.
Therefore say, 'Yahweh says, “Look, I am giving to Phinehas my covenant of peace.
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.’”
For him and his descendants after him, it will be a covenant of an everlasting priesthood because he was zealous for me, his God. He has atoned for the people of Israel.”'”
14 Alò, non a Izrayelit ki te touye avèk fanm Madyanit la se te Zimri, fis Salu, yon chèf kay pami Simeyonit yo.
Now the name of the Israelite man who was killed with the Midianite woman was Zimri son of Salu, a leader of an ancestor's family among the Simeonites.
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 Kozbi daughter of Zur, who was head of a tribe and family in Midian.
16 Alò, SENYÈ a te pale avèk Moïse e te di:
So Yahweh spoke to Moses and said,
17 “Se pou ou vin mechan avèk Madyanit yo, e frape yo;
“Treat the Midianites as enemies and attack 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.”
for they treated you like enemies with their deceitfulness. They led you into evil in the case of Peor and in the case of their sister Kozbi, the daughter of a leader in Midian, who was killed on the day of the plague in the matter of Peor.”
