< Na Helu 25 >
1 NOHO iho la ka Iseraela ma Sitima: a hoomaka iho la, na kanaka e moe kolohe me na kaikamahine a ka Moaba.
And Israel abode in Shittim, and the people began to commit incest with the daughters of Moab.
2 Koi mai la lakou i na kanaka e hele aku i na ahaaina hoomana a na akua o lakou: ai iho la na kanaka, a kulou iho la i na akua o lakou.
And they called the people unto the sacrifices of their gods: and the people did eat, and bowed themselves down to their gods.
3 Hui pu aku la ka Iseraela me Baalapeora: a ua hoaia mai la ka inaina o Iehova i ka Iseraela.
And Israel joined themselves unto Baal-peor; and the anger of the Lord was kindled against Israel.
4 Olelo mai la o Iehova ia Mose, E lawe i na luna a pau o kanaka, e kau aku ia lakou imua o Iehova ma ka la, i hoohuliia'ku ai ka inaina nui o Iehova mai ka Iseraela aku.
And the Lord said unto Moses, Take all the heads of the people, and [cause them to] hang the [guilty] up before the Lord, in the face of the sun, that the fierce anger of the Lord may be turned away from Israel.
5 Olelo aku la o Mose i na lunakanawai o ka Iseraela, E pepehi oukou a pau i na kanaka o oukou i hui pu ia'ku me Baalapeora.
And Moses said unto the judges of Israel, Slay ye every one his men that have been joined unto Baal-peor.
6 Aia hoi, hele mai kekahi mamo a Iseraela, a lawe mai la i kekahi wahine no Midiana i na hoahanau ona, imua o na maka o Mose, a imua o na maka o ke anaina kanaka a pau o na mamo a Iseraela, e uwe ana lakou ma ka puka o ka halelewa o ke anaina.
And, behold, one of the children of Israel came, and brought unto his brethren a Midianitish woman, before the eyes of Moses, and before the eyes of all the congregation of the children of Israel, and these were weeping by the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
7 A ike aku la o Pinehasa ke keiki a Eleazara ke keiki a Aarona ke kahuna, ku ae la ia mawaena o ke anaina kanaka, a lawe ae la ia i ka ihe ma kona lima;
And when Phinehas, the son of Elazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw it, he rose up from the midst of the congregation, and took a javelin in his hand;
8 Hahai aku la ia mamuli o ua kanaka la o ka Iseraela maloko o ka halelewa, a hou iho la ia laua a elua, i ke kanaka o ka Iseraela a me ka wahine ma kona opu. Pela no i paleia'i ke. ahulau mai na mamo a Iseraela aku.
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: and the plague was stayed from the children of Israel.
9 A o ka poe i make i ke ahulau, he iwakaluakumamaha tausani lakou.
And those that died in the plague were twenty and four thousand.
10 Olelo mai la o Iehova ia Mose, i mai la,
And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,
11 O Pinehasa ke keiki a Eleazara, ke keiki a Aarona ke kahuna, ua hoohuli ae ia i kuu inaina mai na mamo a Iseraela aku, no kona lili ana no'u iwaena o lakou; i hoopau ole ai au i na mamo a Iseraela i kuu lili ana.
Phinehas, the son of Elazar, the son of Aaron the priest, hath turned away my wrath from the children of Israel, while he was zealous in my stead in the midst of them, that I consumed not the children of Israel in my indignation.
12 Nolaila, e i aku oe, Aia hoi, ke haawi aku nei au i kuu berita nona e malu ai.
Therefore say, Behold, I give unto him my covenant of peace;
13 Nona no ia, a no kana poe mamo mahope ona, o ka berita o ka oihana kahuna mau loa; no ka mea, ua lili oia no kona Akua, a ua hookalahala oia no na mamo a Iseraela.
And it shall be unto him and unto his seed after him a covenant of an everlasting priesthood; because he was zealous for his God, and made an atonement for the children of Israel.
14 O ka inoa o ke kanaka Iseraela i pepehiia, i pepehi pu ia me ka wahine o Midiana, oia o Zimeri ke keiki a Salu, he luna o ka ohana kupuna no ka Simeona.
Now the name of the man of Israel that was slain, who was slain with the Midianitish woman, was Zimri, the son of Sahlu, a prince of a family division among the Simeonites.
15 A o ka inoa o ka wahine no Midiana i pepehiia, oia o Kosebi, ke kaikamahine a Zura, he luna ia o kekahi poe kanaka, no ka ohana alii ma Midiana.
And the name of the Midianitish woman that was slain was Cozbi, the daughter of Zur; he was head of tribes, of a family division in Midian.
16 Olelo mai la o Iehova ia Mose, i mai la,
And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,
17 E kaua aku oe i ko Midiana, a e pepehi ia lakou:
Attack the Midianites and smite them;
18 No ka mea, ke hoopilikia mai nei lakou ia oukou, me ka hoowalewale ana a lakou i hoowalewale mai ai ia oukou ma ka mea o Peora, a ma ka mea o Kosebi ke kaikamahine a kekahi alii o Midiana, ko lakou kaikuwahine, o ka mea i pepehiia i ka la o ke ahulau no Peora.
For they are enemies unto you with their wiles, wherewith they have beguiled you in the matter of Peor, and in the matter of Cozbi, the daughter of a prince of Midian, their sister, who was slain on the day of the plague for the sake of Peor.
