1 Pea naʻe nofo ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi Sitimi, pea naʻe kamata fai ʻe he kakai ʻae feʻauaki mo e ngaahi ʻofefine ʻo Moape.
NOHO iho la ka Iseraela ma Sitima: a hoomaka iho la, na kanaka e moe kolohe me na kaikamahine a ka Moaba.
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.
Koi mai la lakou i na kanaka e hele aku i na ahaaina hoomana a na akua o lakou: ai iho la na kanaka, a kulou iho la i na akua o lakou.
3 Pea naʻe feangai ʻa ʻIsileli mo Peali-Peoli: pea naʻe vela ʻae houhau ʻo Sihova ki ʻIsileli.
Hui pu aku la ka Iseraela me Baalapeora: a ua hoaia mai la ka inaina o Iehova i ka Iseraela.
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.”
Olelo mai la o Iehova ia Mose, E lawe i na luna a pau o kanaka, e kau aku ia lakou imua o Iehova ma ka la, i hoohuliia'ku ai ka inaina nui o Iehova mai ka Iseraela aku.
5 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Mōsese ki he kau fakamaau ʻo ʻIsileli, “Taki taha tāmateʻi ʻa hono kau tangata naʻe feangai mo Peali-Peoli.”
Olelo aku la o Mose i na lunakanawai o ka Iseraela, E pepehi oukou a pau i na kanaka o oukou i hui pu ia'ku me Baalapeora.
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.
Aia hoi, hele mai kekahi mamo a Iseraela, a lawe mai la i kekahi wahine no Midiana i na hoahanau ona, imua o na maka o Mose, a imua o na maka o ke anaina kanaka a pau o na mamo a Iseraela, e uwe ana lakou ma ka puka o ka halelewa o ke anaina.
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;
A ike aku la o Pinehasa ke keiki a Eleazara ke keiki a Aarona ke kahuna, ku ae la ia mawaena o ke anaina kanaka, a lawe ae la ia i ka ihe ma kona lima;
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.
Hahai aku la ia mamuli o ua kanaka la o ka Iseraela maloko o ka halelewa, a hou iho la ia laua a elua, i ke kanaka o ka Iseraela a me ka wahine ma kona opu. Pela no i paleia'i ke. ahulau mai na mamo a Iseraela aku.
9 Pea ko kinautolu naʻe mate ʻi he mahaki fakaʻauha naʻe toko ua mano ma toko fā afe.
A o ka poe i make i ke ahulau, he iwakaluakumamaha tausani lakou.
10 Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, ʻo pehē,
Olelo mai la o Iehova ia Mose, i mai la,
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.
O Pinehasa ke keiki a Eleazara, ke keiki a Aarona ke kahuna, ua hoohuli ae ia i kuu inaina mai na mamo a Iseraela aku, no kona lili ana no'u iwaena o lakou; i hoopau ole ai au i na mamo a Iseraela i kuu lili ana.
12 Pea ko ia, ke ke pehē, Vakai, te u foaki kiate ia ʻeku fuakava ʻoe fiemālie:
Nolaila, e i aku oe, Aia hoi, ke haawi aku nei au i kuu berita nona e malu ai.
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.”
Nona no ia, a no kana poe mamo mahope ona, o ka berita o ka oihana kahuna mau loa; no ka mea, ua lili oia no kona Akua, a ua hookalahala oia no na mamo a Iseraela.
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.
O ka inoa o ke kanaka Iseraela i pepehiia, i pepehi pu ia me ka wahine o Midiana, oia o Zimeri ke keiki a Salu, he luna o ka ohana kupuna no ka Simeona.
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.
A o ka inoa o ka wahine no Midiana i pepehiia, oia o Kosebi, ke kaikamahine a Zura, he luna ia o kekahi poe kanaka, no ka ohana alii ma Midiana.
16 Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, ʻo pehē,
Olelo mai la o Iehova ia Mose, i mai la,
17 “Fakafiuʻi ʻae kau Mitiane, ʻo taaʻi ʻakinautolu:
E kaua aku oe i ko Midiana, a e pepehi ia lakou:
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.”
No ka mea, ke hoopilikia mai nei lakou ia oukou, me ka hoowalewale ana a lakou i hoowalewale mai ai ia oukou ma ka mea o Peora, a ma ka mea o Kosebi ke kaikamahine a kekahi alii o Midiana, ko lakou kaikuwahine, o ka mea i pepehiia i ka la o ke ahulau no Peora.
