Lakkoobsa 25
1 Israaʼeloonni yeroo Shixiim keessa turanitti dhiironni isaanii dubartoota Moʼaab wajjin sagaagaluu jalqaban.
AND Israel abode in Shittim, and the people began to commit whoredom with the daughters of Moab.
2 Dubartoonni kunneenis gara qalma waaqota isaaniitti saba sana afeerraan, sabni sun qalma sana nyaatee waaqota sanaaf sagade.
And they called the people unto the sacrifices of their gods: and the people did eat, and bowed down to their gods.
3 Israaʼel Baʼaal Pheʼoor duukaa buʼe. Dheekkamsi Waaqayyoos isaanitti bobaʼe.
And Israel joined himself unto Baal-peor: and the anger of the Lord was kindled against Israel.
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.”
And the Lord said unto 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 Museen abbootii murtii Israaʼeliin, “Tokkoon tokkoon keessan namoota keessan kanneen Baʼaal Pheʼoor duukaa buʼan fixaa” jedhe.
And Moses said unto the judges of Israel, Slay ye every one his men that were joined unto Baal-peor.
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 came and brought unto 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 Fiinehaas ilmi Eleʼaazaar ilma Aroon lubichaa waan kana arginaan waldaa sana keessaa baʼee eeboo harkatti qabatee
And when Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw it, he rose up from among the congregation, and took a javelin in his hand;
8 namicha Israaʼel sana duukaa buʼee dunkaana seene; namicha Israaʼelii fi dubartittiis walitti waraanee dhagna isheetti fullaase. Akkasiin dhaʼichi Israaʼelitti dhufe sun ni dhowwame.
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 Garuu baayʼinni namoota dhaʼicha sanaan dhumanii 24,000 gaʼee ture.
And those that died in the plague were twenty and four thousand.
10 Waaqayyos Museedhaan akkana jedhe;
And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
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.
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 Kanaafuu kunoo akka ani kakuu koo kan nagaa isa wajjin godhadhu itti naaf himi.
Wherefore say, Behold, I give unto him my covenant of peace:
13 Sababii inni ulfina Waaqa isaatiif hinaafee Israaʼelootaaf araara buuseef, innii fi sanyiin isaa kakuu lubummaa kan bara baraa qabaatu.”
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 Maqaan namicha Israaʼel kan dubartii Midiyaan wajjin ajjeefame sanaa Zimrii ilma Saaluu ti; innis hoogganaa maatii Simiʼoon.
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 Maqaan dubartii Midiyaan kan ajjeefamte sanaa Kozbii intala Zuuri hangafa maatii Midiyaan tokkoo ti.
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 Waaqayyo Museedhaan akkana jedhe;
And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
17 “Midiyaanota akka diinaatti ilaaliitii ajjeesi;
Vex the Midianites, and smite 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.”
For they vex you with their wiles, wherewith they have beguiled you in the matter of Peor, and in the matter of Cozbi, the daughter of a prince of Midian, their sister, which was slain in the day of the plague for Peor’s sake.
