< Numbers 25 >

1 Nígbà tí àwọn Israẹli dúró ní Ṣittimu, àwọn ènìyàn sì bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí í ṣe àgbèrè pẹ̀lú àwọn ọmọbìnrin Moabu,
Israel stayed in Shittim, and the men began to prostitute themselves with women of Moab,
2 tí ó pè wọ́n sí ibi ẹbọ òrìṣà wọn. Àwọn ènìyàn náà jẹun wọ́n sì foríbalẹ̀ níwájú òrìṣà wọn.
for the Moabites had invited the people to the sacrifices to their gods. So the people ate and bowed down to Moabite gods.
3 Báyìí ni Israẹli ṣe darapọ̀ mọ́ wọn tí wọ́n sì jọ ń sin Baali-Peori. Ìbínú Olúwa sì ru sí wọn.
The men of Israel joined in worshiping Baal of Peor, and Yahweh's anger was kindled against Israel.
4 Olúwa sọ fún Mose pé, “Mú gbogbo àwọn olórí àwọn ènìyàn wọ̀nyí, pa wọ́n kí o sì fi wọ́n kọ́ sórí igi ní gbangba nínú oòrùn níwájú Olúwa, kí ìbínú Olúwa lè kúrò ní ọ̀dọ̀ Israẹli.”
Yahweh said to Moses, “Kill all the leaders of the people and hang them up before me to expose them in the daylight, so that my fierce anger may turn away from Israel.”
5 Mose sọ fún àwọn onídàájọ́ Israẹli, “Ẹnìkọ̀ọ̀kan yín gbọdọ̀ pa arákùnrin rẹ̀ èyí tí ó darapọ̀ ní fífi orí balẹ̀ fún Baali-Peori.”
So Moses said to Israel's leaders, “Each of you must execute his people who have joined in worshiping Baal of Peor.”
6 Nítòótọ́ ọ̀kan lára àwọn ọmọkùnrin Israẹli sì mú obìnrin Midiani wá síwájú ojú Mose àti gbogbo ìjọ ti Israẹli wọ́n sì ń sọkún ní àbáwọlé àgọ́ ìpàdé.
Then one of the men of Israel came and brought among his family members a Midianite woman. This happened in the sight of Moses and all the community of the people of Israel, while they were weeping at the entrance to the tent of meeting.
7 Nígbà tí Finehasi, ọmọ Eleasari, ọmọ Aaroni, àlùfáà, rí èyí, ó fi ìjọ sílẹ̀, pẹ̀lú ọ̀kọ̀ ní ọwọ́ rẹ̀.
When Phinehas son of Eleazar son of Aaron the priest, saw that, he rose up from among the community and took a spear in his hand.
8 Ó sì tẹ̀lé arákùnrin Israẹli yìí lọ sínú àgọ́. Ó sì fi ọ̀kọ̀ gún àwọn méjèèjì ní àgúnyọ láti ara ọkùnrin Israẹli àti sí ara obìnrin náà. Nígbà náà ni àjàkálẹ̀-ààrùn lórí àwọn ọmọ Israẹli sì dúró;
He followed the Israelite man into the tent and thrust the spear through both of their bodies, both the Israelite man and the woman. So a plague that God had sent on the people of Israel stopped.
9 ṣùgbọ́n gbogbo àwọn tí ó kú nínú àjàkálẹ̀-ààrùn náà jẹ́ ẹgbàá méjìlá.
Those who died by the plague were twenty-four thousand in number.
10 Olúwa sì tún sọ fún Mose pé,
Yahweh spoke to Moses and said,
11 “Finehasi ọmọ Eleasari ọmọ Aaroni, àlùfáà, ti yí ìbínú mi padà kúrò lọ́dọ̀ àwọn ọmọ Israẹli, nítorí tí ó ní ìtara bí èmi náà ti ní ìtara fún iyì mi láàrín wọn, kí ó lè jẹ́ pé èmi ló pa wọ́n run nínú ìtara mi sí wọn.
“Phinehas son of Eleazar son of Aaron the priest, has turned my rage away from the people of Israel because he was passionate with my zeal among them. So I have not consumed the people of Israel in my fierceness.
12 Nítorí náà sọ fún un pé èmi ṣe májẹ̀mú àlàáfíà mi pẹ̀lú rẹ̀.
Therefore say, 'Yahweh says, “Look, I am giving to Phinehas my covenant of peace.
13 Òun àti irú-ọmọ rẹ̀ yóò ní májẹ̀mú láéláé fún iṣẹ́ àlùfáà, nítorí pé ó ní ìtara fún Ọlọ́run rẹ̀ láti fi yẹ́ Ọlọ́run sí, ó sì ṣe ètùtù fún àwọn ọmọ Israẹli.”
For him and his descendants after him, it will be a covenant of an everlasting priesthood because he was zealous for me, his God. He has atoned for the people of Israel.”'”
14 Orúkọ ọmọ Israẹli tí a pa pẹ̀lú obìnrin Midiani náà ni Simri, ọmọ Salu, olórí ilé kan nínú àwọn ọmọ Simeoni.
Now the name of the Israelite man who was killed with the Midianite woman was Zimri son of Salu, a leader of an ancestor's family among the Simeonites.
15 Orúkọ ọmọbìnrin Midiani náà tí a pa ní Kosbi ọmọbìnrin Suri, tí ṣe olóyè àwọn ẹ̀yà kan nínú ìdílé kan ní Midiani.
The name of the Midianite woman who was killed was Kozbi daughter of Zur, who was head of a tribe and family in Midian.
16 Olúwa sì tún sọ fún Mose pé,
So Yahweh spoke to Moses and said,
17 “Ka àwọn ará Midiani sí ọ̀tá, kí o sì pa wọ́n,
“Treat the Midianites as enemies and attack them,
18 nítorí pé wọ́n ṣe sí yín gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọ̀tá nígbà tí wọ́n tàn yín nípa ìṣẹ̀lẹ̀ Peori, àti arábìnrin wọn Kosbi ọmọbìnrin ìjòyè Midiani kan, obìnrin tí a pa nígbà tí àjàkálẹ̀-ààrùn ṣẹlẹ̀ nítorí Peori.”
for they treated you like enemies with their deceitfulness. They led you into evil in the case of Peor and in the case of their sister Kozbi, the daughter of a leader in Midian, who was killed on the day of the plague in the matter of Peor.”
