Nomery 25
1 Nitobe e Setime eo t’Israele le niorotse nanao hakarapiloañe amo ampela’ i Moabeo ondatio.
And Israel abode in Shittim, and the people began to commit lewdness with the daughters 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.
And Israel joined himself to Baal-peor: and the anger of the LORD 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.
And the LORD said to Moses, Take all the heads of the people, and hang them up before the LORD against the sun, that the fierce anger of the LORD may be turned away 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 said to the judges of Israel, Slay ye every one his men that were joined 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.
And, behold, one of the children of Israel came and brought to 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 Aa naho niisa’ i Pinekase ana’i Elazare ana’ i Aharone mpisoroñe, le niongake nienga i valobohòkey ninday lefoñe am-pità’e;
And when Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw [it], he rose from among the congregation, and took 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 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 Ro’ale-tsi-efats’ arivo ty navetra’ i angorosiy.
And those that died in the plague were twenty and four thousand.
10 Le hoe ty nitsara’ Iehovà amy Mosè:
And the LORD 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, 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 Le hoe iraho: Atoloko aze ty fañinam-panintsiñako,
Wherefore say, Behold, 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 he shall have it, and his seed after him, [even] the covenant of an everlasting priesthood; because he was zealous for his God, and made an 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 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 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 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 Aa hoe t’Iehovà amy Mosè,
And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
17 Hehero o nte-Midianeo le rotsaho;
Distress the Midianites, and smite 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 distress you with their wiles, with which they have beguiled you in the matter of Peor, and in the matter of Cozbi, the daughter of a prince of Midian their sister, who was slain in the day of the plague for Peor's sake.
