Hesabu 25
1 Israeli alipokuwa akikaa Shitimu, wanaume wa Israeli walianza kuzini na wanawake wa Kimoabu,
And Israel sojourned in Sattin, and the people profaned itself by going a-whoring after the daughters of Moab.
2 ambao waliwaalika kushiriki katika kutoa kafara kwa miungu yao. Watu wakala na kusujudu mbele ya miungu hii.
And they called them to the sacrifices of their idols; and the people ate of their sacrifices, and worshipped their idols.
3 Kwa hiyo Israeli akaungana katika kumwabudu Baali wa Peori. Hasira ya Bwana ikawaka dhidi yao.
And Israel consecrated themselves to Beel-phegor; and the Lord was very angry with Israel.
4 Bwana akamwambia Mose, “Uwachukue viongozi wote wa watu hawa, uwaue na uwaweke hadharani mchana peupe mbele za Bwana, ili hasira kali ya Bwana iweze kuondoka kwa Israeli.”
And the Lord said to Moses, Take all the princes of the people, and make them examples [of judgment] for the Lord in the face of the sun, and the anger of the Lord shall be turned away from Israel.
5 Kwa hiyo Mose akawaambia waamuzi wa Israeli, “Kila mmoja wenu lazima awaue wale wanaume wenu, walioshiriki katika kumwabudu Baali wa Peori.”
And Moses said to the tribes of Israel, Slay you every one his friend that is consecrated to Beel-phegor.
6 Ndipo mwanaume wa Kiisraeli akamleta mwanamke wa Kimidiani katika jamaa yake palepale mbele ya Mose na mkutano wote wa Israeli walipokuwa wakilia kwenye lango la Hema la Kukutania.
And, behold, a man of the children of Israel came and brought his brother to a Madianitish woman before Moses, and before all the congregation of the children of Israel; and they were weeping at the door of the tabernacle of witness.
7 Finehasi mwana wa Eleazari, mwana wa kuhani Aroni, alipoona jambo hili, akaondoka kwenye kusanyiko, akachukua mkuki mkononi mwake,
And Phinees the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw it, and rose out of the midst of the congregation, and took a javelin in his hand,
8 akamfuata yule Mwisraeli ndani ya hema. Akawachoma mkuki wote wawili kwa pamoja, ukapenya kwenye mwili wa yule Mwisraeli na mwili wa yule mwanamke. Ndipo tauni iliyokuwepo dhidi ya Waisraeli ikakoma.
and went in after the Israelitish man into the chamber, and pierced them both through, both the Israelitish man, and the woman through her womb; and the plague was stayed from the children of Israel.
9 Lakini wale waliokufa kwa hiyo tauni walikuwa watu 24,000.
And those that died in the plague were four and twenty thousand.
10 Bwana akamwambia Mose,
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
11 “Finehasi mwana wa Eleazari, mwana wa kuhani Aroni, amegeuza hasira yangu mbali na Waisraeli, kwa sababu alikuwa na wivu kama nilio nao kwa heshima yangu miongoni mwao, hata kwamba kwa wivu wangu sikuwaangamiza.
Phinees the son of Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest has caused my wrath to cease from the children of Israel, when I was exceedingly jealous among them, and I did not consume the children of Israel in my jealousy.
12 Kwa hiyo mwambie Finehasi ninafanya Agano langu la amani naye.
Thus do you say [to him], Behold, I give him a covenant of peace:
13 Yeye pamoja na wazao wake watakuwa na Agano la ukuhani milele, kwa sababu alikuwa na wivu kwa ajili ya heshima ya Mungu wake, na akafanya upatanisho kwa Waisraeli.”
and he and his seed after him shall have a perpetual covenant of priesthood, because he was zealous for his God, and made atonement for the children of Israel.
14 Jina la Mwisraeli ambaye aliuawa pamoja na mwanamke wa Kimidiani ni Zimri mwana wa Salu, kiongozi wa jamaa ya Simeoni.
Now the name of the struck Israelitish man, who was struck with the Madianitish woman, [was] Zambri son of Salmon, prince of a house of the tribe of Symeon.
15 Jina la mwanamke wa Kimidiani aliyeuawa ni Kozbi binti wa Suri, aliyekuwa mkuu wa kabila la jamaa ya Wamidiani.
And the name of the Madianitish woman who was struck, [was] Chasbi, daughter of Sur, a prince of the nation of Ommoth: it is a chief house among the people of Madiam.
16 Bwana akamwambia Mose,
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, Speak to the children of Israel, saying,
17 “Watendeeni Wamidiani kama adui na mwaue,
Plague the Madianites as enemies, and strike them,
18 kwa sababu wao waliwatendea kama adui wakati waliwadanganya katika tukio la Peori na dada yao Kozbi, binti wa kiongozi wa Kimidiani, mwanamke ambaye aliuawa wakati tauni ilikuja kama matokeo ya tukio la Peori.”
for they are enemies to you by the treachery wherein they ensnare you through Phogor, and through Chasbi their sister, daughter of a prince of Madiam, who was struck in the day of the plague because of Phogor.
