Oekyuk 25

1 Ke mwet Israel elos aktuktuk ke Infahlfal Acacia, kutu sin mukul Israel mutawauk in orek kosro yurin mutan Moab su muta we.

Now Israel, at that time, dwelt in Shittim, and the people were fornicating with the daughters of Moab,

2 Mutan inge suli mukul uh nu ke kufwen akfulatye god lun mwet Moab. Mwet Israel elos kang mwe mongo ma kisakinyukla ac wi alu nu ke god se pangpang

who called them to their sacrifices. And they ate, and they adored their gods.

3 Baal lun Peor. Ouinge LEUM GOD El kasrkusrak selos

And Israel was initiated into Baal of Peor. And so the Lord, being angry,

4 ac fahk nu sel Moses, “Kom in akosyu in lumah se inge: eis mwet kol nukewa lun mwet Israel ac fakselosi yen mwet nukewa ku in liye, na nga fah tila kasrkusrak sin mwet uh.”

said to Moses, “Take all the leaders of the people, and hang them on gallows against the sun, so that my fury may be averted from Israel.”

5 Moses el fahk nu sin mwet kol fulat lun sruf uh, “Kais sie suwos in uniya mwet nukewa in sruf lowos ma wela alu nu sin Baal lun Peor.”

And Moses said to the judges of Israel, “Let each one kill his neighbors, who have been initiated into Baal of Peor.”

6 Sie sin mwet Israel uh eis sie sin mutan Midian ac usalak nu in lohm nuknuk sel ye mutal Moses ac mwet Israel nukewa ke pacl se elos muta mwemelil ke nien utyak nu in Lohm Nuknuk Mutal sin LEUM GOD.

And behold, one of the sons of Israel entered, in the sight of his brothers, to a prostitute of Midian, within view of Moses and of all the crowd of the sons of Israel, who were weeping before the door of the tabernacle.

7 Ke Phinehas, wen natul Eleazar, wen natul Aaron mwet tol, el liye ma inge, el tuyak ac som liki u sac. El srukak osra in fakfuk soko,

And when Phinehas the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, had seen it, he rose up from the midst of the multitude, and, seizing a dagger,

8 na el fahsr tukun mukul sac ac mutan sac nu in lohm nuknuk sac, ac kaskeang nu kacltal kewa. In ouiya se inge mas upa se ma arulana akkolukye Israel uh tui,

he entered after the Israelite man, into the brothel, and he pierced both of them at the same time, specifically, the man and the woman at the location of their genitals. And the scourge ceased from among the sons of Israel.

9 tusruktu mas se inge uniya tari tausin longoul akosr sin mwet Israel.

And there were slain twenty-four thousand men.

10 LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Moses,

And the Lord said to Moses:

11 “Ke sripen ma se Phinehas el orala uh, nga tila mulat sin mwet Israel. El koflana muteng in liye ke mwet uh alu nu sin kutena god sayuk, na pa ingan sripa se oru nga tia kunauselosla ke kasrkusrak luk uh.

“Phinehas the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, has averted my wrath from the sons of Israel. For he was moved against them by my zeal, so that I myself, in my zeal, might not wipe away the sons of Israel.

12 Ke ma inge kom fahkang nu sel lah nga ac orala sie wuleang inmasrlok el su fah oanna nwe tok.

Because of this, say to him: Behold, I give to him the peace of my covenant.

13 El, ac fwilin tulik natul, ac fah mwet tol nwe tok. Ke sripen el ngalkinyu, pa oru nga nunak munas ke ma koluk lun mwet uh.”

And the covenant of the everlasting priesthood shall be as much for him as for his offspring. For he was zealous on behalf of his God, and he has made expiation for the wickedness of the sons of Israel.”

14 Inen mukul Israel se su anwuki wi mutan Midian sac pa Zimri wen natul Salu. Zimri el sifen sie sou lulap in sruf lal Simeon.

Now the name of the Israelite man, who was killed with the Midianite woman, was Zimri the son of Salu, a leader from the kinship and tribe of Simeon.

15 Inen mutan sac pa Cozbi, acn natul Zur, su pa leum lun sie u lun sou lulap in acn Midian.

Moreover, the Midianite woman, who was put to death together with him, was called Cozbi the daughter of Zur, a most noble leader among the Midianites.

16 Na LEUM GOD El sapkin nu sel Moses,

And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

17 “Tuyak ac mweuni mwet Midian ac kunauselosla,

“Let the Midianites perceive you as enemies, and strike them down,

18 ke sripen ma koluk elos oru nu suwos ke elos tuh kiapwekowosla in acn Peor — ac ke sripal Cozbi, su tuh anwuki ke pacl se mas upa sac sikyak in acn Peor.”

for they, too, have behaved with hostility against you, and they have deceived you insidiously by means of the idol Peor, and by Cozbi, the daughter of a commander of Midian, their sister, who was struck down in the day of the scourge because of the sacrilege of Peor.”
