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 people began to play the prostitute with the daughters of Moab;
2 tí ó pè wọ́n sí ibi ẹbọ òrìṣà wọn. Àwọn ènìyàn náà jẹun wọ́n sì foríbalẹ̀ níwájú òrìṣà wọn.
for they called the people to the sacrifices of their gods. The people ate and bowed down to their gods.
3 Báyìí ni Israẹli ṣe darapọ̀ mọ́ wọn tí wọ́n sì jọ ń sin Baali-Peori. Ìbínú Olúwa sì ru sí wọn.
Israel joined himself to Baal Peor, and the LORD’s anger burnt 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.”
The LORD said to Moses, “Take all the chiefs of the people, and hang them up to the LORD before the sun, that the fierce anger of the LORD 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.”
Moses said to the judges of Israel, “Everyone kill his men who have joined themselves to Baal 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.
Behold, 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 Nígbà tí Finehasi, ọmọ Eleasari, ọmọ Aaroni, àlùfáà, rí èyí, ó fi ìjọ sílẹ̀, pẹ̀lú ọ̀kọ̀ ní ọwọ́ rẹ̀.
When Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw it, he rose up from the middle of the congregation, 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 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 stopped amongst the children of Israel.
9 ṣùgbọ́n gbogbo àwọn tí ó kú nínú àjàkálẹ̀-ààrùn náà jẹ́ ẹgbàá méjìlá.
Those who died by the plague were twenty-four thousand.
10 Olúwa sì tún sọ fún Mose pé,
The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
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, 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 amongst them, so that I didn’t consume the children of Israel in my jealousy.
12 Nítorí náà sọ fún un pé èmi ṣe májẹ̀mú àlàáfíà mi pẹ̀lú rẹ̀.
Therefore say, ‘Behold, I give to him 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.”
It shall be to him, and to his offspring after him, the covenant of an everlasting priesthood, because he was jealous for his God, and made atonement for the children 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 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 amongst 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 slain was Cozbi, the daughter of Zur. He was head of the people of a fathers’ house in Midian.
16 Olúwa sì tún sọ fún Mose pé,
The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
17 “Ka àwọn ará Midiani sí ọ̀tá, kí o sì pa wọ́n,
“Harass the Midianites, and strike 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 harassed you with their wiles, wherein they have deceived you in the matter of Peor, and in the incident regarding Cozbi, the daughter of the prince of Midian, their sister, who was slain on the day of the plague in the matter of Peor.”
