Tirintii 25
1 Oo reer binu Israa'iilna waxay iska degeen Shitiim, markaasay dadkii bilaabeen inay ka dhillaystaan gabdhihii reer Moo'aab,
While the Israelis were camped at a place called Acacia [Grove], some of the men caused themselves to become unacceptable to God by having sex with some of the women of the Moab [people-group who lived in that area].
2 waayo, dadkii bay ugu yeedheen allabaryadii ilaahyadooda, markaasay dadkii wax cuneen, oo waxay u sujuudeen ilaahyadoodii.
Then those women invited the men to come when the sacrifices were being offered to their gods. The Israeli men [accepted]. They went to the feasts with the women and worshiped the gods of the Moab people-group.
3 Oo reer binu Israa'iil waxay isku dareen Bacal Fecoor. Markaasaa Rabbiga cadhadiisii aad ugu kululaatay reer binu Israa'iil.
By doing that, those Israeli people joined the women in worshiping the god Baal [add] the Moab people-group thought lived on Peor Mountain. That caused Yahweh to become very angry with his people.
4 Kolkaasaa Rabbigu Muuse ku yidhi, Dadka madaxdiisa oo dhan soo wado oo maalin cad ku deldel Rabbiga hortiisa in cadhadii kululayd oo Rabbigu ay ka soo noqoto reer binu Israa'iil.
Yahweh said this to Moses/me: “Seize all the leaders of those men who are doing this and execute them while I am watching. Do that in the daytime. After you do that, I will no longer be angry with the Israeli people.”
5 Kolkaasaa Muuse wuxuu xaakinnadii reer binu Israa'iil ku yidhi, Idinka mid waluba ha dilo nimankiisii Bacal Fecoor isku daray.
So Moses/I said to the other Israeli leaders, “Each of you must execute your men who have joined [others] in worshiping Baal.”
6 Oo bal eeg, mid reer binu Israa'iil ah ayaa walaalihiis ula yimid naag reer Midyaan ah Muuse hortiisa iyo shirkii reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan hortooda iyagoo ku ooyaya iriddii teendhadii shirka horteeda.
[But later], while Moses/I and many [HYP] other people were crying at the entrance of the Sacred Tent, while they/we were watching, one of the Israeli men brought a woman from the Midian people-group into his tent [and started to have sex with her].
7 Oo Fiinexaas ina Elecaasaar oo ahaa wadaadkii Haaruun wiilkiisii markuu taas arkay ayuu shirka dhexdiisii ka kacay oo wuxuu gacanta ku qaatay waran.
When Phinehas, who was the grandson of Aaron, saw that, he grabbed a spear
8 Oo teendhadii ayuu uga daba galay ninkii reer binu Israa'iil, oo ninkii reer binu Israa'iil iyo naagtii labadiiba calooshuu ka wareemay. Markaasaa belaayadii laga joojiyey reer binu Israa'iil.
and rushed into the man’s tent. He thrust the spear completely through the man’s body and into the woman’s belly [and killed both of them]. When he did that, the (plague/serious illness) [that had started to strike the Israelis] stopped.
9 Oo intii belaayadii u dhimatay waxay ahaayeen afar iyo labaatan kun.
But 24,000 people had already died [from that plague].
10 Kolkaasaa Rabbigu Muuse la hadlay, oo wuxuu ku yidhi,
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,
11 Waxaa cadhadaydii reer binu Israa'iil ka celiyey Fiinexaas ina Elecaasaar oo ah wiilkii wadaadka Haaruun ah, waayo, dhexdooda ayuu iiga qiirooday, oo sidaas daraaddeed anigu qiiradaydii kuma aan baabbi'in reer binu Israa'iil.
“Phinehas has caused me to stop being angry with the Israeli people, by being as eager as I am [to stop this sinful behavior]. I was ready to get rid of all the Israeli people because I was extremely angry, but Phinehas has prevented me from doing that.
12 Haddaba sidaas daraaddeed waxaad tidhaahdaa, Bal eeg, anigu waxaan isaga la dhiganayaa axdigaygii nabadda.
Now tell him that I am making a special peace agreement with him.
13 Oo isaga iyo farcankiisa ka dambeeyaba buu u ahaan doonaa axdiga wadaadnimo weligeed ah, maxaa yeelay, Ilaahiis buu qiiro u qabay, oo reer binu Israa'iil ayuu u kafaaro guday.
In this agreement, I am promising to give to him and to his descendants the right/authority to be priests. I am doing this because [he showed that] he was very eager to honor me, his God, by stopping this sinful behavior. He has caused the Israeli people to become acceptable to me again by causing them to be forgiven for their sin.”
14 Haddaba ninkii reer binu Israa'iil oo la dilay, oo naagtii reer Midyaan lala dilay, magiciisu wuxuu ahaa Simrii ina Saaluu oo amiir u ahaa qoladiisa reer Simecoon.
The Israeli man who was killed with the woman of the Moab people-group was named Zimri. He was the son of Salu, who was the leader of a family from the tribe of Simeon.
15 Oo naagtii reer Midyaan oo la dilay magaceedu wuxuu ahaa Kaasbii ina Suur, oo aabbeheed wuxuu madax u ahaa qolo ka mid ah reer Midyaan.
The woman’s name was Cozbi. She was the daughter of Zur, who was the leader of one of the clans of the Midian people-group.
16 Markaasaa Rabbigu Muuse la hadlay oo wuxuu ku yidhi,
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,
17 Reer Midyaan dhib oo laa iyaga,
“[Take your men and] attack the Midian people-group and kill them.
18 waayo, waxay idinku dhibeen khiyaanadooda ay idinku khiyaaneeyeen xagga xaalkii Fecoor iyo xaalkii Kaasbii oo ahayd gabadhii amiirka reer Midyaan oo walaashood ahayd, taasoo maalintii belaayada la dilay xaalkii Fecoor aawadiis.
They have become your enemies, because they tricked you Israeli people and induced/persuaded many of you to worship Baal, and because [one of your men had sex with] Cozbi, who was the daughter of a leader of the Midian people-group. She was killed at the time the plague [started because the people sinned] at Peor [Mountain].”
