Ọnụọgụgụ 25
1 Mgbe Izrel bi na Shitim, ndị ikom ha malitere isoro ndị inyom Moab na-akwa iko.
And Israel dwelleth in Shittim, and the people begin to go a-whoring unto 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.
and they call for the people to the sacrifices of their gods, and the people eat, and bow themselves to 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.
and Israel is joined to Baal-Peor, and the anger of Jehovah burneth against 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 Jehovah saith unto Moses, 'Take all the chiefs of the people, and hang them before Jehovah — over-against the sun; and the fierceness of the anger of Jehovah doth turn back 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 saith unto the judges of Israel, 'Slay ye each his men who are joined to 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 hath come, and bringeth in unto his brethren the Midianitess, before the eyes of Moses, and before the eyes of all the company of the sons of Israel, who are weeping at the opening 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, seeth, and riseth from the midst of the company, and taketh a javelin 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 goeth in after the man of Israel unto the hollow place, and pierceth them both, the man of Israel and the woman — unto her belly, and the plague is restrained from the sons of Israel;
9 Ma tupu ihe otiti ahụ akwụsị, ndị mmadụ ọnụọgụgụ ha ruru iri puku abụọ na anọ anwụọlarị.
and the dead by the plague are four and twenty thousand.
10 Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis okwu sị,
And Jehovah speaketh 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 fury from the sons of Israel, by his being zealous with My zeal in their midst, and I have not consumed the sons of Israel in My zeal.
12 Ya mere, gwa ya, na m na-eme ka ọgbụgba ndụ udo m dịrị ya.
'Therefore say, Lo, I am giving to 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.”
and it hath been to him and to his seed after him a covenant of a priesthood age-during, because that he hath been zealous for his God, and doth make atonement for 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.
And the name of the man of Israel who is smitten, who hath been smitten with the Midianitess, [is] Zimri son of Salu, prince of the house of a father of the Simeonite;
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 is smitten, the Midianitess, [is] Cozbi daughter of Zur, head of a people — of the house of a father in Midian [is] he.
16 Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis okwu sị ya,
And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
17 “Mesoo ndị Midia mmeso dịka ndị iro. Gbukwaa ha.
'Distress the Midianites, and ye have smitten 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 they are adversaries to you with their frauds, [with] which they have acted fraudulently to you, concerning the matter of Peor, and concerning the matter of Cozbi, daughter of a prince of Midian, their sister, who is smitten in the day of the plague for the matter of Peor.'
