Lakkoobsa 25
1 Israaʼeloonni yeroo Shixiim keessa turanitti dhiironni isaanii dubartoota Moʼaab wajjin sagaagaluu jalqaban.
And Israel at that time abode in Settim, and the people committed fornication with the daughters of Moab,
2 Dubartoonni kunneenis gara qalma waaqota isaaniitti saba sana afeerraan, sabni sun qalma sana nyaatee waaqota sanaaf sagade.
Who called them to their sacrifices. And they ate of them, and adored their gods.
3 Israaʼel Baʼaal Pheʼoor duukaa buʼe. Dheekkamsi Waaqayyoos isaanitti bobaʼe.
And Israel was initiated to Beelphegor: upon which the Lord being angry,
4 Waaqayyo Museedhaan akkana jedhe; “Akka dheekkamsi Waaqayyoo jabaan sun saba Israaʼel irraa deebiʼuuf, hangafoota saba sanaa hunda fuudhiitii guyyaa adiidhaan fuula Waaqayyoo duratti isaan fannisi.”
Said to Moses: Take all the princes of the people, and hang them up on gibbets against the sun: that my fury may be turned away from Israel.
5 Museen abbootii murtii Israaʼeliin, “Tokkoon tokkoon keessan namoota keessan kanneen Baʼaal Pheʼoor duukaa buʼan fixaa” jedhe.
And Moses said to the judges of Israel: Let every man kill his neighbours, that have been initiated to Beelphegor.
6 Kunoo namichi Israaʼel tokko utuma isaan balbala dunkaana wal gaʼii duratti booʼaa jiranuu fuula Museetii fi fuula waldaa Israaʼel guutuu duratti dubartii Midiyaan tokko gara maatii ofii isaatti fidate.
And behold one of the children of Israel went in before his brethren to a harlot of Madian, in the sight of Moses, and of all the children of Israel, who were weeping before the door of the tabernacle.
7 Fiinehaas ilmi Eleʼaazaar ilma Aroon lubichaa waan kana arginaan waldaa sana keessaa baʼee eeboo harkatti qabatee
And when Phinees the son of Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest saw it, he rose up from the midst; of the multitude, and taking a dagger,
8 namicha Israaʼel sana duukaa buʼee dunkaana seene; namicha Israaʼelii fi dubartittiis walitti waraanee dhagna isheetti fullaase. Akkasiin dhaʼichi Israaʼelitti dhufe sun ni dhowwame.
Went in after the Israelite into the brothel house, and thrust both of them through together, to wit, the man and the woman in the genital parts. And the scourge ceased from the children of Israel:
9 Garuu baayʼinni namoota dhaʼicha sanaan dhumanii 24,000 gaʼee ture.
And there were slain four and twenty thousand men.
10 Waaqayyos Museedhaan akkana jedhe;
And the Lord said to Moses:
11 “Fiinehaas ilmi Eleʼaazaar ilma Aroon lubicha sanaa dheekkamsa koo Israaʼeloota irraa deebiseera; inni akka ani hinaaffaa kootiin isaan hin balleessineef, akkuma ani ulfina kootiif isaan gidduutti hinaafu sana innis hinaafeeraatii.
Phinees the son of Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, hath turned away my wrath from the children of Israel: because he was moved with my zeal against them, that I myself might not destroy the children of Israel in my zeal.
12 Kanaafuu kunoo akka ani kakuu koo kan nagaa isa wajjin godhadhu itti naaf himi.
Therefore say to him: Behold I give him the peace of my covenant,
13 Sababii inni ulfina Waaqa isaatiif hinaafee Israaʼelootaaf araara buuseef, innii fi sanyiin isaa kakuu lubummaa kan bara baraa qabaatu.”
And the covenant of the priesthood for ever shall be both to him and his seed, because he hath been zealous for his God, and hath made atonement for the wickedness of the children of Israel.
14 Maqaan namicha Israaʼel kan dubartii Midiyaan wajjin ajjeefame sanaa Zimrii ilma Saaluu ti; innis hoogganaa maatii Simiʼoon.
And the name of the Israelite, was slain with the woman of Madian, was Zambri the son of Salu, a prince the kindred and tribe of Simeon.
15 Maqaan dubartii Midiyaan kan ajjeefamte sanaa Kozbii intala Zuuri hangafa maatii Midiyaan tokkoo ti.
And the Madianite woman, that was slain with him, was called Cozbi the daughter of Sur, a most noble prince among the Madianites.
16 Waaqayyo Museedhaan akkana jedhe;
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
17 “Midiyaanota akka diinaatti ilaaliitii ajjeesi;
Let the Madianites find you enemies, and slay you them:
18 kunis waan isaan sababii Pheʼooriitii fi obboleettii isaanii Kozbii intala hoogganaa warra Midiyaan, dubartii guyyaa sababii Pheʼooriitiin dhaʼichi dhufe sana ajjeefamte sanaa irratti isin gowwoomsan sana akka diinaatti isin ilaalaniif.”
Because they also have acted like enemies against you, and have guilefully deceived you by the idol Phogor, and Cozbi their sister, a daughter of a prince of Madian, who was slain in the day the plague for the sacrilege of Phogor.
