Nomery 25
1 Ary nitoetra tao Sitima ny Isiraely, dia niantomboka nijangajanga tamin’ ny zanakavavin’ ny Moabita izy.
Israel stayed in Shittim, and the men began to prostitute themselves with women 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.
for the Moabites had invited the people to the sacrifices to their gods. So the people ate and bowed down to Moabite gods.
3 Dia niray tamin’ i Bala-peora ny Isiraely, ka nirehitra taminy ny fahatezeran’ i Jehovah.
The men of Israel joined in worshiping Baal of Peor, and Yahweh's anger 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.
Yahweh said to Moses, “Kill all the leaders of the people and hang them up before me to expose them in the daylight, so that my fierce anger may turn away from Israel.”
5 Dia hoy Mosesy tamin’ ny mpitsara ny Isiraely: Samia ianareo mamono ny olom-peheziny, izay niray tamin’ i Bala-peora.
So Moses said to Israel's leaders, “Each of you must execute his people who have joined in worshiping Baal of 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.
Then one of the men of Israel came and brought among his family members a Midianite woman. This happened in the sight of Moses and all the community of the people of Israel, while they were weeping at the entrance to the tent of meeting.
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;
When Phinehas son of Eleazar son of Aaron the priest, saw that, he rose up from among the community and took a spear 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.
He followed the Israelite man into the tent and thrust the spear through both of their bodies, both the Israelite man and the woman. So a plague that God had sent on the people of Israel stopped.
9 Ary izay maty tamin’ ny areti-mandringana dia efatra arivo amby roa alina.
Those who died by the plague were twenty-four thousand in number.
10 Ary Jehovah niteny tamin’ i Mosesy ka nanao hoe:
Yahweh spoke to Moses and said,
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 son of Eleazar son of Aaron the priest, has turned my rage away from the people of Israel because he was passionate with my zeal among them. So I have not consumed the people of Israel in my fierceness.
12 Ary noho izany dia lazao hoe: Indro, omeko azy ny faneken’ ny fihavanako;
Therefore say, 'Yahweh says, “Look, I am giving to Phinehas 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.
For him and his descendants after him, it will be a covenant of an everlasting priesthood because he was zealous for me, his God. He has atoned for the people 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 man who was killed with the Midianite woman was Zimri son of Salu, a leader of an ancestor's family among the Simeonites.
15 Ary ny anaran’ ny vehivavy Midianita izay novonoina dia Kosby, zanak’ i Zora, lohan’ ny fianakaviana tamin’ ny Midianita.
The name of the Midianite woman who was killed was Kozbi daughter of Zur, who was head of a tribe and family in Midian.
16 Ary Jehovah niteny tamin’ i Mosesy ka nanao hoe:
So Yahweh spoke to Moses and said,
17 Rafeso ny Midianita, ka iadio;
“Treat the Midianites as enemies and attack 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 treated you like enemies with their deceitfulness. They led you into evil in the case of Peor and in the case of their sister Kozbi, the daughter of a leader in Midian, who was killed on the day of the plague in the matter of Peor.”
