Nomery 25
1 Ary nitoetra tao Sitima ny Isiraely, dia niantomboka nijangajanga tamin’ ny zanakavavin’ ny Moabita izy.
And Israel abode in Shittim, and the people began to commit whoredom with 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 the people unto the sacrifices of their elohim: and the people did eat, and bowed down to their elohim.
3 Dia niray tamin’ i Bala-peora ny Isiraely, ka nirehitra taminy ny fahatezeran’ i Jehovah.
And Israel joined himself unto Baal-peor: and the anger of YHWH was kindled against 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 YHWH said unto Moses, Take all the heads of the people, and hang them up before YHWH against the sun, that the fierce anger of YHWH may 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 unto the judges of Israel, Slay ye every one his men that were joined unto Baal-peor.
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, one of the children of Israel came and brought unto his brethren a Midianitish woman in the sight of Moses, and in the sight of all the congregation of the children of Israel, who were weeping before the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
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 when Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw it, he rose up from among 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 he went after the man of Israel into the tent, and thrust both of them through, the man of Israel, and the woman through her belly. So 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 twenty and four thousand.
10 Ary Jehovah niteny tamin’ i Mosesy ka nanao hoe:
And YHWH spake unto 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.
Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, hath turned my wrath away from the children of Israel, while he was zealous for my sake among them, that I consumed not the children of Israel in my jealousy.
12 Ary noho izany dia lazao hoe: Indro, omeko azy ny faneken’ ny fihavanako;
Wherefore say, Behold, I give unto him my 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 shall have it, and his seed after him, even the covenant of an everlasting priesthood; because he was zealous for his Elohim, and made an 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 Israelite that was slain, even that was slain with the Midianitish woman, was Zimri, the son of Salu, a prince of a chief house among the Simeonites.
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 Midianitish woman that was slain was Cozbi, the daughter of Zur; he was head over a people, and of a chief house in Midian.
16 Ary Jehovah niteny tamin’ i Mosesy ka nanao hoe:
And YHWH spake unto Moses, saying,
17 Rafeso ny Midianita, ka iadio;
Vex the Midianites, 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 vex you with their wiles, wherewith they have beguiled you in the matter of Peor, and in the matter of Cozbi, the daughter of a prince of Midian, their sister, which was slain in the day of the plague for Peor's sake.
