Ọnụọgụgụ 25
1 Mgbe Izrel bi na Shitim, ndị ikom ha malitere isoro ndị inyom Moab na-akwa iko.
And Israel remained among the acacias, —and the people began to go away unchastely unto the daughters of Moab;
2 Ndị inyom a kpọrọ ha ka ha bịa soro na mmemme ịchụ aja nye chi ha niile. Ndị Izrel riri nri ihe aja ahụ, kpọọkwa isiala nye chi ndị a niile.
who invited the people unto the sacrifices of their gods, —so the people did eat, and did bow themselves down unto their gods.
3 Ya mere, ndị Izrel sonyere na-akpọ isiala nye chi Baal nke Peoa. Nke a mere ka iwe Onyenwe anyị nwuru ọkụ megide ha.
Thus Israel let himself be bound unto Baal-peor, and the anger of Yahweh kindled upon Israel.
4 Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis okwu sị ya, “Duru ndị ndu ebo niile nke Izrel gbuo ha ma kwụnye ha nʼosisi nʼihu Onyenwe anyị nʼetiti ehihie, ka oke iwe Onyenwe anyị dị ọkụ ghara ịbịakwasị ndị Izrel.”
And Yahweh said unto Moses—Take all the heads of the people, and crucify them unto Yahweh. in the face of the sun, —that the heat of the anger of Yahweh may turn away from Israel.
5 Ya mere, Mosis sịrị ndị ọkaikpe Izrel, “Onye ọbụla nʼime unu aghaghị igbu ndị unu, bụ ndị jikọtara onwe ha na Baal nke Peoa.”
And Moses said unto the judges of Israel, —Slay ye each one his men, who have let themselves he bound unto Baal-peor.
6 Mgbe ahụ, otu nwoke onye Izrel kpọbatara nʼime ụlọ ikwu otu nwanyị onye Midia, nʼihu Mosis na nzukọ Izrel niile, mgbe ha niile nọ na-akwa akwa nʼọnụ ụzọ ụlọ nzute ahụ.
And lo! a man of the sons of Israel coming in, who brought near unto his brethren a Midianite woman, before the eyes of Moses, and before the eyes of all the assembly of the sons of Israel, when they were weeping at the entrance of the tent of meeting.
7 Mgbe Finehaz na Elieza, nwa Erọn, onye nchụaja hụrụ ihe a, ọ hapụrụ ọgbakọ Izrel. O were ùbe nʼaka ya,
And Phinehas son of Eleazar, son of Aaron the priest saw it, so he rose up out of the midst of the assembly, and took a spear in his hand;
8 soro nwoke ahụ baa nʼime ụlọ, ebe ya na nwaagbọghọ ahụ dina. Ọ mara ha ùbe ahụ, nke si nʼahụ nwoke ahụ gafee mikpuo nʼafọ nwaagbọghọ ahụ. Nke a mere ka ihe otiti ahụ na-emegide ndị Izrel kwụsị.
and went in after the man of Israel into the pleasure-tent, and thrust both of them through, the man of Israel and the woman, in her parts of shame, —so the plague was restrained from against the sons of Israel.
9 Ma tupu ihe otiti ahụ akwụsị, ndị mmadụ ọnụọgụgụ ha ruru iri puku abụọ na anọ anwụọlarị.
Then was it found that they who had died by the plague were four and twenty thousand.
10 Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis okwu sị,
Then spake Yahweh unto Moses saying:
11 “Finehaz nwa Elieza, nwa Erọn, onye nchụaja, emeela ka iwe m megide Izrel dajụọ. Nʼihi na o nwere ịnụ ọkụ nʼobi dịka mụ onwe m banyere idebe nsọpụrụ m nsọ nʼetiti ha, ka m ghara isite nʼịnụ ọkụ nke obi m bibie ha.
Phinehas son of Eleazar son of Aaron the priest, hath turned back my wrath from against the sons of Israel, in that he was jealous with my jealousy, in their midst, so that I made not an end of the sons of Israel. in my jealousy.
12 Ya mere, gwa ya, na m na-eme ka ọgbụgba ndụ udo m dịrị ya.
Wherefore say, —Behold me! giving unto him my covenant of peace;
13 Ya na ụmụ ụmụ ya ka ọgbụgba ndụ ebighị ebi nke ịrụ ọrụ nchụaja ga-adịrị, nʼihi na o nwere ịnụ ọkụ nʼobi banyere nsọpụrụ nke Chineke ya, si otu a chụọrọ ndị Izrel aja ikpuchi mmehie.”
so shall it prove to be unto him and unto his seed after him, the covenant of our age-abiding priesthood, because he was jealous for his God, and did put a propitiatory-covering over the sons of Israel.
14 Aha nwoke Izrel ahụ e gburu ya na nwanyị onye Midia ahụ bụ Zimri, nwa Salu, onyendu otu ezinaụlọ nʼebo Simiọn.
Now, the name of the man of Israel that was smitten, who was smitten with the Midianitish woman, was Zimri son of Salu, —prince of an ancestral house of the Simeonites;
15 Aha nwanyị Midia ahụ e gburu bụ Kozbi, nwa nwanyị Zua, onye bụ otu nʼime ndịisi ezinaụlọ na Midia.
and, the name of the woman who was smitten, the Midianitess, was Cozbi, daughter of Zur, —the head of his kindred, of an ancestral house in Midian, was he.
16 Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis okwu sị ya,
And Yahweh spake unto Moses saying:
17 “Mesoo ndị Midia mmeso dịka ndị iro. Gbukwaa ha.
Besiege the Midianites, —and ye shall smite them:
18 Nʼihi na ha mesoro unu mmeso dịka ndị iro mgbe ha ji ụzọ aghụghọ ghọgbuo unu nʼokwu Peoa, na nʼokwu Kozbi nwanne ha nwanyị, bụ nwa nwanyị otu nʼime ndịisi Midia, onye e gburu mgbe ihe otiti ahụ bịara nʼihi okwu Peoa.”
for, besiegers, were they unto you, with their wiles wherewith they beguiled you, over the matter of Peor, —and over he matter of Cozbi, daughter of a prince of Midian, their sister, who was smitten in the day of the plague, over the matter of Peor.
