1 UIsrayeli wasehlala eShithimi. Abantu basebeqala ukuphinga lamadodakazi akoMowabi.
Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa andũ a Isiraeli maikaraga Shitimu-rĩ, arũme a Isiraeli makĩambĩrĩria gũtharia na andũ-a-nja a Moabi,
2 Asebabizela abantu emihlatshelweni yabonkulunkulu bawo, labantu badla, bakhothamela onkulunkulu bawo.
arĩa mameetaga magongona-inĩ ma ngai ciao. Andũ acio a Isiraeli makĩrĩa na makĩinamĩrĩra mbere ya ngai icio.
3 UIsrayeli wasezihlanganisa loBhali-Peyori; lolaka lweNkosi lwamvuthela uIsrayeli.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio andũ a Isiraeli makĩnyiitanĩra nao kũhooya ngai ya Baali ya Peori. Namo marakara ma Jehova makĩmarĩrĩmbũkĩra.
4 INkosi yasisithi kuMozisi: Thatha zonke inhloko zabantu, uziphanyeke phambi kweNkosi maqondana lelanga, ukuze ulaka lweNkosi oluvuthayo lubuye lusuke koIsrayeli.
Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ, “Oya atongoria othe a andũ aya, ũmoorage na ũmaanĩke mũthenya barigici mbere ya Jehova, nĩguo marakara mahiũ ma Jehova matigakinyĩrĩre andũ a Isiraeli.”
5 UMozisi wasesithi kubahluleli bakoIsrayeli: Bulalani, kube ngulowo lalowo amadoda akhe ababezihlanganise loBhali-Peyori.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Musa akĩĩra aciirithania a Isiraeli atĩrĩ, “O mũndũ wanyu no nginya oorage arũme anyu arĩa manyiitanĩire na andũ a Moabi kũhooya Baali ya Peori.”
6 Khangela-ke, umuntu wabantwana bakoIsrayeli weza waletha kubafowabo umMidiyanikazi phambi kwamehlo kaMozisi laphambi kwamehlo enhlangano yonke yabantwana bakoIsrayeli, besakhala inyembezi emnyango wethente lenhlangano.
O hĩndĩ ĩyo mũndũ mũrũme Mũisiraeli akĩrehe mũndũ-wa-nja Mũmidiani mũciĩ gwake akĩonagwo nĩ Musa na kĩũngano kĩu gĩothe gĩa Isiraeli, o hĩndĩ ĩrĩa maarĩragĩra itoonyero-inĩ rĩa Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo.
7 Kwathi uPhinehasi, indodana kaEleyazare, indodana kaAroni umpristi, ekubona, wasukuma ephuma phakathi kwenhlangano, wathatha umkhonto esandleni sakhe,
Rĩrĩa Finehasi mũrũ wa Eleazaru, mũrũ wa Harũni ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai, onire ũndũ ũcio-rĩ, akiuma kĩũngano-inĩ kĩu, akĩoya itimũ,

9 Lalabo abafayo ngenhlupheko babeyizinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amabili lane.
no andũ arĩa maakuire nĩ ũndũ wa mũthiro ũcio maarĩ andũ 24,000.
10 INkosi yasikhuluma kuMozisi isithi:
Nake Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ,
11 UPhinehasi, indodana kaEleyazare indodana kaAroni umpristi, uphendule ulaka lwami lusuka ebantwaneni bakoIsrayeli, ngoba wayelobukhwele ngobukhwele bami phakathi kwabo; ngakho kangibaqothulanga abantwana bakoIsrayeli ngobukhwele bami.
“Finehasi, mũrũ wa Eleazaru, mũrũ wa Harũni ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai, nĩatũmĩte marakara makwa meherere andũ a Isiraeli; nĩ ũndũ nĩahĩahĩire ngoro o ta ũrĩa ndaiguite nĩ ũndũ wa gĩtĩĩo gĩakwa thĩinĩ wao, na nĩ ũndũ ũcio o na ndahĩahĩa ndiamaniinire.
12 Ngakho utsho: Khangela, ngiyamnika isivumelwano sami sokuthula.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ĩra Finehasi atĩrĩ, nĩ ngũthondeka kĩrĩkanĩro gĩakwa gĩa thayũ nake.
13 Njalo uzakuba laso, lenzalo yakhe emva kwakhe, isivumelwano sobupristi obulaphakade, ngenxa yokuthi elobukhwele ngoNkulunkulu wakhe, wabenzela abantwana bakoIsrayeli inhlawulo yokuthula.
We na njiaro ciake nĩ makagĩa na kĩrĩkanĩro gĩa gũtũũra kĩa ũthĩnjĩri-Ngai, nĩ ũndũ nĩahĩahĩire ngoro nĩ ũndũ wa gĩtĩĩo kĩa Ngai wake, na akĩhoroheria andũ a Isiraeli.”
14 Lebizo lendoda yakoIsrayeli eyatshaywayo, eyatshaywa kanye lomMidiyanikazi, lalinguZimri indodana kaSalu, isiphathamandla sendlu kayise phakathi kwabakoSimeyoni.
Mũisiraeli ũcio woragirwo marĩ na mũndũ-wa-nja Mũmidiani eetagwo Zimuri mũrũ wa Salu, mũtongoria wa nyũmba ya Asimeoni.
15 Ibizo lowesifazana owatshaywayo, umMidiyanikazi, lalinguKozibi indodakazi kaZuri, owayeyinhloko yesizwe sendlu kayise eMidiyani.
Nake mũndũ-wa-nja ũcio Mũmidiani woragirwo, eetagwo Kozibi mwarĩ wa Zuru, mũnene wa mũhĩrĩga thĩinĩ wa nyũmba ĩmwe ya Amidiani.
16 INkosi yasikhuluma kuMozisi isithi:
Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ,
17 Hluphani amaMidiyani, liwatshaye;
“Tua andũ a Midiani thũ cianyu na ũmoorage,
18 ngoba aliphethe njengezitha ngobuqili bawo, alikhohlisa ngodaba lukaPeyori langodaba lukaKozibi, indodakazi yesiphathamandla seMidiyani, udadewabo, owatshaywa ngosuku lwenhlupheko ngenxa yodaba lukaPeyori.
tondũ nĩmamũtuire thũ ciao rĩrĩa maamũheenirie ũhoro-inĩ wa kũhoera kũu Peori na wa mwarĩ wa nyina wao Kozibi, mwarĩ wa mũtongoria Mũmidiani, mũndũ-wa-nja ũrĩa woragirwo rĩrĩa mũthiro wokire nĩ ũndũ wa Peori.”
