Nomipā 25

1 Pea naʻe nofo ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi Sitimi, pea naʻe kamata fai ʻe he kakai ʻae feʻauaki mo e ngaahi ʻofefine ʻo Moape.

Now Israel stayed in Shittim; and the people defiled themselves by having sexual relations with the women of Moab,

2 Pea naʻa nau ui ʻae kakai ki he ngaahi feilaulau ki honau ngaahi ʻotua: pea naʻe kai ʻe he kakai, mo nau punou hifo ki honau ngaahi ʻotua.

and they called the people to the sacrifices of their gods; and the people ate, and bowed down to their gods.

3 Pea naʻe feangai ʻa ʻIsileli mo Peali-Peoli: pea naʻe vela ʻae houhau ʻo Sihova ki ʻIsileli.

Israel joined himself to Baal Peor: and the anger of YHWH was kindled against Israel.

4 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kia Mōsese, “ʻAve ʻae houʻeiki ʻoe kakai, ke tautau ʻakinautolu ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ʻi he ʻao ʻoe laʻā, koeʻuhi ke foki ai ʻae houhau lahi ʻo Sihova mei ʻIsileli.”

YHWH said to Moses, "Take all the chiefs of the people, and hang them up to YHWH before the sun, that the fierce anger of YHWH may turn away from Israel."

5 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Mōsese ki he kau fakamaau ʻo ʻIsileli, “Taki taha tāmateʻi ʻa hono kau tangata naʻe feangai mo Peali-Peoli.”

Moses said to the judges of Israel, "Everyone kill his men who have joined themselves to Baal Peor."

6 Pea, vakai, naʻe haʻu ʻae tokotaha ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻo ʻomi ki hono kāinga ha fefine Mitiane ʻi he ʻao ʻo Mōsese, pea ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kakai kotoa pē ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, lolotonga ʻenau tangi ʻi he veʻe matapā ʻoe fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai.

Look, one of the children of Israel came and brought to his brothers a Midianite woman in the sight of Moses, and in the sight of all the congregation of the children of Israel, while they were weeping at the door of the Tent of Meeting.

7 Pea ʻi he mamata ki ai ʻa Finiasi, ko e foha ʻo ʻEliesa, ko e foha ia ʻo ʻElone ko e taulaʻeiki, naʻe tuʻu hake ia ʻi he kakai, ʻo ne toʻo ʻae tao ʻi hono nima;

When Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw it, he rose up from the midst of the congregation, and took a spear in his hand;

8 Pea naʻe muimui ia ʻi he tangata ko ia ki hono fale fehikitaki, ʻo ne hokaʻi ʻakinaua ʻo ʻasi, ʻae tangata ʻIsileli, mo e fefine, ʻi hono kete, ko ia naʻe tuku ai ʻae mahaki fakaʻauha mei he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli.

and he went after the man of Israel into the pavilion, and thrust both of them through, the man of Israel, and the woman through her body. So the plague was stayed from the children of Israel.

9 Pea ko kinautolu naʻe mate ʻi he mahaki fakaʻauha naʻe toko ua mano ma toko fā afe.

Those who died by the plague were twenty-four thousand.

10 Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, ʻo pehē,

YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,

11 “Ko Finiasi, ko e foha ʻo ʻEliesa, ko e foha ia ʻo ʻElone ko e taulaʻeiki, kuo fakaafe ʻe ia ʻa hoku houhau mei he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻi heʻene fai feinga kiate kinautolu koeʻuhi ko au, ko ia naʻe ʻikai ai te u fakaʻauha ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi hoku fuaʻa.

"Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, has turned my wrath away from the children of Israel, in that he was jealous with my jealousy among them, so that I did not consume the children of Israel in my jealousy.

12 Pea ko ia, ke ke pehē, Vakai, te u foaki kiate ia ʻeku fuakava ʻoe fiemālie:

Therefore say, 'Look, I give to him my covenant of peace:

13 Pea te ne maʻu ʻe ia, pea mo hono hako ki mui ʻiate ia, ʻae fuakava ʻoe ngāue fakataulaʻeiki ʻo lauikuonga; koeʻuhi kuo ne fai feinga ki hono ʻOtua, pea ne fai ʻae fakalelei koeʻuhi ko e fānau ʻa ʻIsileli.”

and it shall be to him, and to his descendants after him, the covenant of an everlasting priesthood; because he was jealous for his God, and made atonement for the children of Israel.'"

14 Pea ko e hingoa eni ʻoe tangata ʻIsileli naʻe tali, ʻio, ʻaia naʻe tali fakataha mo e fefine Mitiane, ko Simili, ko e foha ʻo Salu, ko e ʻeiki ʻoe fale lahi ʻi he faʻahinga ʻo Simione.

Now the name of the man of Israel that was slain, who was slain with the Midianite woman, was Zimri, the son of Salu, a prince of a fathers' house among the Simeonites.

15 Pea ko e hingoa ʻoe fefine Mitiane naʻe tali ko Kosipi, ko e ʻofefine ʻo Sua; ko e ʻeiki ia ki he kakai, mo e fale lahi ʻi Mitiane.

The name of the Midianite woman who was slain was Cozbi, the daughter of Zur; he was head of the people of a fathers' house in Midian.

16 Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, ʻo pehē,

And YHWH spoke to Moses, saying, "Speak to the children of Israel, saying,

17 “Fakafiuʻi ʻae kau Mitiane, ʻo taaʻi ʻakinautolu:

'Harass the Midianites, and strike them;

18 He kuo nau fakafiuʻi ʻakimoutolu ʻaki ʻenau kākā, ʻaia kuo nau fakakākaaʻi ʻaki ʻakimoutolu ʻi he meʻa ʻa Peoli, mo e meʻa ʻa Kosipi, ko e ʻofefine ʻoe ʻeiki ʻo Mitiane, ko honau tuofefine, ʻaia kuo tāmateʻi ʻi he ʻaho ʻoe mahaki fakaʻauha koeʻuhi ko Peoli.”

for they harassed you with their tricks, with which they have deceived you in the matter of Peor, and in the matter of Cozbi, the daughter of the prince of Midian, their sister, who was slain on the day of the plague in the matter of Peor.'"
