Nomery 25
1 Nitobe e Setime eo t’Israele le niorotse nanao hakarapiloañe amo ampela’ i Moabeo ondatio.
Now Israel stayed in Shittim; and the people defiled themselves by having sexual relations with the women of Moab,
2 Nambarañe ondatio hiatreke ty fisoroña’ iareo amo ndrahare’ iareoo, le nikama ao ondatio vaho nibokoboko amo ndrahareo.
and they called the people to the sacrifices of their gods; and the people ate, and bowed down to their gods.
3 Aa kanao niharo baoñe amy Baale t’Israele le nisolebotse am’ Israele t’Iehovà.
Israel joined himself to Baal Peor: and the anger of YHWH was kindled 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.
YHWH said to Moses, "Take all the chiefs of the people, and hang them up to YHWH before the sun, that the fierce anger of YHWH may turn away from Israel."
5 Aa le hoe t’i Mosè amo mpizaka’ Israeleo, Songa mamonoa ze ondati’e nitrao-baoñe amy Baale’ i Peoreo.
Moses said to the judges of Israel, "Everyone kill his men who have joined themselves to Baal 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.
Look, one of the children of Israel came and brought to his brothers a Midianite woman in the sight of Moses, and in the sight of all the congregation of the children of Israel, while they were weeping at the door 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;
When Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw it, he rose up from the midst of the congregation, and took a spear 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 he went after the man of Israel into the pavilion, and thrust both of them through, the man of Israel, and the woman through her body. So the plague was stayed from the children of Israel.
9 Ro’ale-tsi-efats’ arivo ty navetra’ i angorosiy.
Those who died by the plague were twenty-four thousand.
10 Le hoe ty nitsara’ Iehovà amy Mosè:
YHWH spoke 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, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, has turned my wrath away from the children of Israel, in that he was jealous with my jealousy among them, so that I did not consume the children of Israel in my jealousy.
12 Le hoe iraho: Atoloko aze ty fañinam-panintsiñako,
Therefore say, 'Look, I give to him my covenant of peace:
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 shall be to him, and to his descendants after him, the covenant of an everlasting priesthood; because he was jealous for his God, and made atonement for the children 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.
Now the name of the man of Israel that was slain, who was slain with the Midianite woman, was Zimri, the son of Salu, a prince of a fathers' house among the Simeonites.
15 Le ty añara’ i ampela nte-Midiane vinonoy, i Kozbý ana’ i Tsore mpiaolo’ ty anjomban-droae’e e Midiane ao.
The name of the Midianite woman who was slain was Cozbi, the daughter of Zur; he was head of the people of a fathers' house in Midian.
16 Aa hoe t’Iehovà amy Mosè,
And YHWH spoke to Moses, saying, "Speak to the children of Israel, saying,
17 Hehero o nte-Midianeo le rotsaho;
'Harass the Midianites, and strike 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 harassed you with their tricks, with which they have deceived you in the matter of Peor, and in the matter of Cozbi, the daughter of the prince of Midian, their sister, who was slain on the day of the plague in the matter of Peor.'"
