Nomery 25
1 Nitobe e Setime eo t’Israele le niorotse nanao hakarapiloañe amo ampela’ i Moabeo ondatio.
And Israel dwells in Shittim, and the people begin to go whoring to daughters of Moab,
2 Nambarañe ondatio hiatreke ty fisoroña’ iareo amo ndrahare’ iareoo, le nikama ao ondatio vaho nibokoboko amo ndrahareo.
and they call for the people to the sacrifices of their gods, and the people eat and bow themselves to their gods,
3 Aa kanao niharo baoñe amy Baale t’Israele le nisolebotse am’ Israele t’Iehovà.
and Israel is joined to Ba‘al-Peor, and the anger of YHWH burns against Israel.
4 Aa le hoe t’Iehovà amy Mosè, Endeso o talè’ ondatioo vaho aradoradò an-tariñandroke eo añatrefa’ Iehovà o nandilatseo hisitaha’ ty haviñerañe miforoforo’ Iehovà am’ Israele.
And YHWH says to Moses, “Take all the chiefs of the people and hang them before YHWH in sight of the sun; and the fierceness of the anger of YHWH turns back from Israel.”
5 Aa le hoe t’i Mosè amo mpizaka’ Israeleo, Songa mamonoa ze ondati’e nitrao-baoñe amy Baale’ i Peoreo.
And Moses says to [the] judges of Israel, “Each slays his men who are joined to Ba‘al-Peor.”
6 Inge henane zay, te nimb’eo ty ana’ Israele ninday ty ampela nte-Midiane mb’ amo longo’eo ampahaisaha’ i Mosè, naho am-pahaisaha’ i valobohò’ Israeley, ie nirovetse an-dalam-pimoahañe an-kibohom-pamantañañe eo.
And behold, a man of the sons of Israel has come, and brings a Midianitess to his brothers before the eyes of Moses and before the eyes of all the congregation of the sons of Israel, who are weeping at the opening of the Tent of Meeting;
7 Aa naho niisa’ i Pinekase ana’i Elazare ana’ i Aharone mpisoroñe, le niongake nienga i valobohòkey ninday lefoñe am-pità’e;
and Phinehas, son of Eleazar, son of Aaron the priest, sees, and rises from the midst of the congregation, and takes a javelin in his hand,
8 le norihe’e pak’ an-kiboho’e ao indati’ Israeley vaho tinombo’e i roroey; tineñateña’e indati’ Israeley naho i ampelay, le nitsamantak’ am-pisafoañe. Aa le nijihetse ty angorosy añivo’ o ana’Israeleo.
and goes in after the man of Israel to the hollow place, and pierces them both, the man of Israel and the woman—to her belly, and the plague is restrained from the sons of Israel;
9 Ro’ale-tsi-efats’ arivo ty navetra’ i angorosiy.
and the dead by the plague are twenty-four thousand.
10 Le hoe ty nitsara’ Iehovà amy Mosè:
And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
11 Fa nampihankañe’ i Pinekase ana’ i Elazare, ana’i Aharone Mpisoroñe amo ana’ Israeleo ty haboseko amy t’ie nahimbañe amo fahimbañako añivo’ iareo ao, le tsy nampangotomomoheko o ana’ Israeleo amy famarahiakoy.
“Phinehas, son of Eleazar, son of Aaron the priest, has turned back My fury from the sons of Israel by his being zealous with My zeal in their midst, and I have not consumed the sons of Israel in My zeal.
12 Le hoe iraho: Atoloko aze ty fañinam-panintsiñako,
Therefore say, Behold, I am giving My covenant of peace to him,
13 naho ty fañinam-pisoroñañe tsy modo, ho aze naho o tarira’e manonjohy azeo; amy t’ie nimpamarahy aman’ Añahare’e le nijebaña’e o ana’ Israeleo.
and it has been to him and to his seed after him [for] a covenant of a continuous priesthood, because that he has been zealous for his God, and makes atonement for the sons of Israel.”
14 Ty tahina’ indati’ Israele tinomboke nindre amy ampela nte-Midianeiy, i Zimrý ana’ i Salò, mpiaolo’ ty anjomban-droae’ o nte-Simoneo.
And the name of the man of Israel who is struck, who has been struck with the Midianitess, [is] Zimri son of Salu, prince of the house of a father of the Simeonite;
15 Le ty añara’ i ampela nte-Midiane vinonoy, i Kozbý ana’ i Tsore mpiaolo’ ty anjomban-droae’e e Midiane ao.
and the name of the woman who is struck, the Midianitess, [is] Cozbi daughter of Zur; he [is] head of peoples of a father’s house in Midian.
16 Aa hoe t’Iehovà amy Mosè,
And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
17 Hehero o nte-Midianeo le rotsaho;
“Distress the Midianites, and you have struck them,
18 amy te nihehera’ iereo ami’ty fikiniàm-pamañahia’ iareo amy Peore naho amy Kozbý, ana’ i mpiaolo nte-Midianey, rahavave’ iareo tinomboke tañ’andro’ i angorosy e Peorey.
for they are adversaries to you with their frauds, [with] which they have acted fraudulently to you, concerning the matter of Peor and concerning the matter of Cozbi, daughter of a prince of Midian, their sister, who is struck in the day of the plague for the matter of Peor.”
