Nomery 25

1 Ary nitoetra tao Sitima ny Isiraely, dia niantomboka nijangajanga tamin’ ny zanakavavin’ ny Moabita izy.

And Israel sojourned in Sattin, and the people profaned itself by going a-whoring after the daughters of Moab.

2 Fa ireo nanasa ny olona hihinana tamin’ ny zavatra novonoiny ho fanatitra ho an’ ny andriamaniny, ka nihinana ny olona sady niankohoka tamin’ ny andriamaniny.

And they called them to the sacrifices of their idols; and the people ate of their sacrifices, and worshipped their idols.

3 Dia niray tamin’ i Bala-peora ny Isiraely, ka nirehitra taminy ny fahatezeran’ i Jehovah.

And Israel consecrated themselves to Beel-phegor; and the Lord was very angry with Israel.

4 Dia hoy Jehovah tamin’ i Mosesy: Alao ny loholona rehetra, ary ahantòny tandrifin’ ny masoandro eo anatrehan’ i Jehovah ireo nijangajanga ireo, mba hitsaharan’ ny firehetan’ ny fahatezeran’ i Jehovah amin’ ny Isiraely.

And the Lord said to Moses, Take all the princes of the people, and make them examples [of judgment] for the Lord in the face of the sun, and the anger of the Lord shall be turned away from Israel.

5 Dia hoy Mosesy tamin’ ny mpitsara ny Isiraely: Samia ianareo mamono ny olom-peheziny, izay niray tamin’ i Bala-peora.

And Moses said to the tribes of Israel, Slay ye every one his friend that is consecrated to Beel-phegor.

6 Ary, indro, avy ny anankiray tamin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely nitondra vehivavy Midianita teo amin’ ny rahalahiny, teo imason’ i Mosesy sy ny fiangonana, dia ny Zanak’ Isiraely rehetra, izay nitomany teo amin’ ny varavaran’ ny trano-lay fihaonana.

And, behold, a man of the children of Israel came and brought his brother to a Madianitish woman before Moses, and before all the congregation of the children of Israel; and they were weeping at the door of the tabernacle of witness.

7 Ary raha nahita izany Finehasa, zanak’ i Eleazara, zanak’ i Arona mpisorona, dia nitsangana niala teo amin’ ny fiangonana izy ka nitondra lefona teny an-tànany;

And Phinees the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw it, and rose out of the midst of the congregation, and took a javelin in his hand,

8 dia nandeha nanaraka ilay lehilahy Isiraelita tao an-day izy, ary nataony indray nandefona izy roroa, dia ny lehilahy Isiraelita sy ny vehivavy, ka voagorobaka hatrany amin’ ny kibon-dravehivavy. Dia natsahatra ny areti-mandringana teo amin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely.

and went in after the Israelitish man into the chamber, and pierced them both through, both the Israelitish man, and the woman through her womb; and the plague was stayed from the children of Israel.

9 Ary izay maty tamin’ ny areti-mandringana dia efatra arivo amby roa alina.

And those that died in the plague were four and twenty thousand.

10 Ary Jehovah niteny tamin’ i Mosesy ka nanao hoe:

And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

11 Finehasa, zanak’ i Eleazara, zanak’ i Arona mpisorona, nampiala ny fahatezerako tamin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely, raha firehitra noho ny fitiavany Ahy izy; ka dia tsy nataoko lany ringana ny Zanak’ Isiraely tamin’ ny firehetan’ ny fahatezerako.

Phinees the son of Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest has caused my wrath to cease from the children of Israel, when I was exceedingly jealous among them, and I did not consume the children of Israel in my jealousy.

12 Ary noho izany dia lazao hoe: Indro, omeko azy ny faneken’ ny fihavanako;

Thus do thou say [to him], Behold, I give him a covenant of peace:

13 ary izy sy ny zanany mandimby azy no hanana izany ho faneken’ ny fisoronana mandrakizay, satria nirehitra noho ny fitiavany an’ Andriamaniny izy ka nanao fanavotana ho an’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely.

and he and his seed after him shall have a perpetual covenant of priesthood, because he was zealous for his God, and made atonement for the children of Israel.

14 Ary ny anaran’ ilay lehilahy Isiraelita novonoina, izay niaraka novonoina tamin-dravehivavy Midianita, dia Zimry, zanak i Salo, lohan’ ny fianakaviana tamin’ ny Simeonita.

Now the name of the smitten Israelitish man, who was smitten with the Madianitish woman, [was] Zambri son of Salmon, prince of a house of the tribe of Symeon.

15 Ary ny anaran’ ny vehivavy Midianita izay novonoina dia Kosby, zanak’ i Zora, lohan’ ny fianakaviana tamin’ ny Midianita.

And the name of the Madianitish woman who was smitten, [was] Chasbi, daughter of Sur, a prince of the nation of Ommoth: it is a chief house among the people of Madiam.

16 Ary Jehovah niteny tamin’ i Mosesy ka nanao hoe:

And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, Speak to the children of Israel, saying,

17 Rafeso ny Midianita, ka iadio;

Plague the Madianites as enemies, and smite them,

18 fa izy nandrafy anareo tamin’ ny fanangoleny, izay nanangoleny anareo tamin’ ny an’ i Peora sy Kosby anabaviny, zanakavavin’ ny andriandahy Midianita anankiray, izay novonoina tamin’ ny andron’ ny areti-mandringana noho ny an’ i Peora.

for they are enemies to you by the treachery wherein they ensnare you through Phogor, and through Chasbi their sister, daughter of a prince of Madiam, who was smitten in the day of the plague because of Phogor.
