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.
When the Israelites were staying at Shittim the men started to have sex with Moabite women
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 invited them to the sacrifices made to their gods. The Israelites ate the pagan meals and bowed down before these gods.
3 Baal lun Peor. Ouinge LEUM GOD El kasrkusrak selos
In this way the Israelites devoted themselves in worship to Baal of Peor, and the Lord was angry with them.
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.”
The Lord told Moses, “Arrest all the Israelite leaders and kill them before the Lord where everyone can see in order to turn the Lord's furious anger away from the people.”
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.”
So Moses instructed Israel's judges, “Each of you has to kill all of your men who have devoted themselves to worshiping 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.
Right then an Israelite man brought a Midianite woman to his family tent in full view of Moses and all the Israelites as they were crying at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.
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,
When he saw this, Phinehas, son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, left the assembly, grabbed a spear
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,
and followed the man into his tent. There Phinehas drove the spear through both of them, through the Israelite and on into the woman's stomach. This action stopped the plague that had started to kill the Israelites,
9 tusruktu mas se inge uniya tari tausin longoul akosr sin mwet Israel.
but 24,000 had already died.
10 LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Moses,
The Lord told 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 son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, has turned my anger away from the Israelites, because out of all of them he was passionately dedicated to me, so I did not destroy the Israelites in my passionate anger.
12 Ke ma inge kom fahkang nu sel lah nga ac orala sie wuleang inmasrlok el su fah oanna nwe tok.
So make an announcement that I am granting him my peace agreement.
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.”
It will be an agreement that ensures a permanent priesthood for him and his descendants, because he was passionately dedicated to his God and set the Israelites right.”
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.
The name of the Israelite who was killed with the Midianite woman was Zimri, son of Salu, a family leader of the tribe of Simeon.
15 Inen mutan sac pa Cozbi, acn natul Zur, su pa leum lun sie u lun sou lulap in acn Midian.
The name of the Midianite woman who was killed was Cozbi, daughter of Zur, a family leader of a Midianite tribe.
16 Na LEUM GOD El sapkin nu sel Moses,
The Lord told Moses,
17 “Tuyak ac mweuni mwet Midian ac kunauselosla,
“Attack the Midianites and kill them,
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.”
because they attacked you deceptively, leading you astray by using Peor and their woman Cozbi, the daughter of the Midianite leader—the woman who was killed on the day the plague came because of their devotion to Peor.”
