Numbers 25
1 And Israel at that time abode in Settim, and the people committed fornication with the daughters of Moab,
Wana bana ya Isalaele bavandaki nanu na Shitimi, bamipesaki na kindumba na bilenge basi ya Moabi.
2 Who called them to their sacrifices. And they ate of them, and adored their gods.
Mpe, bilenge basi yango bazalaki kobenga bango na milulu ya mbeka oyo babonzelaka banzambe na bango. Mpe bana ya Isalaele bazalaki kolia mpe kogumbamela banzambe yango.
3 And Israel was initiated to Beelphegor: upon which the Lord being angry,
Bongo, bana ya Isalaele bamipesaki na kosambela Bala ya Peori mpe, kanda ya Yawe epelaki makasi mpo na bango.
4 Said to Moses: Take all the princes of the people, and hang them up on gibbets against the sun: that my fury may be turned away from Israel.
Yawe alobaki na Moyize: « Kanga bakambi nyonso ya Isalaele mpe diembika bango liboso na Ngai, na se ya moyi, mpo ete kanda makasi na Yawe elongwa likolo ya Isalaele. »
5 And Moses said to the judges of Israel: Let every man kill his neighbours, that have been initiated to Beelphegor.
Moyize alobaki na bakambi ya Isalaele: « Tika ete moko na moko kati na bino aboma bato na ye oyo bamipesi na kosambela nzambe Bala ya Peori. »
6 And behold one of the children of Israel went in before his brethren to a harlot of Madian, in the sight of Moses, and of all the children of Israel, who were weeping before the door of the tabernacle.
Bongo moto moko ya Isalaele amemaki na libota na ye mwasi moko ya ekolo ya Madiani liboso ya Moyize mpe ya lisanga mobimba ya bana ya Isalaele, wana bazalaki kolela na ekotelo ya Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani.
7 And when Phinees the son of Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest saw it, he rose up from the midst; of the multitude, and taking a dagger,
Tango Pineasi, mwana mobali ya Eleazari, mwana mobali ya Nganga-Nzambe Aron amonaki bongo, abimaki kati na lisanga mpe akamataki mopanga;
8 Went in after the Israelite into the brothel house, and thrust both of them through together, to wit, the man and the woman in the genital parts. And the scourge ceased from the children of Israel:
alandaki moto ya Isalaele wana kino kati na ndako na ye ya kapo mpe atobolaki bango mibale mabumu mpe bakufaki, ezala moto ya Isalaele wana mpe mwasi wana. Mpe etumbu oyo ezalaki likolo ya Isalaele esilaki.
9 And there were slain four and twenty thousand men.
Bato oyo bakufaki na etumbu wana bazalaki, bato nkoto tuku mibale na minei.
10 And the Lord said to Moses:
Yawe alobaki na Moyize:
11 Phinees the son of Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, hath turned away my wrath from the children of Israel: because he was moved with my zeal against them, that I myself might not destroy the children of Israel in my zeal.
« Nganga-Nzambe Pineasi, mwana mobali ya Eleazari, mwana mobali ya Aron, asili kolongola kanda na Ngai likolo ya bana ya Isalaele, pamba te atalisi bolingo oyo eleka ndelo mpo na lokumu na Ngai kati na bango; yango wana, na kanda na Ngai ya makasi, nasilisaki koboma bana ya Isalaele te.
12 Therefore say to him: Behold I give him the peace of my covenant,
Na boye, yebisa ye ete nasili kosala boyokani ya kimia elongo na ye.
13 And the covenant of the priesthood for ever shall be both to him and his seed, because he hath been zealous for his God, and hath made atonement for the wickedness of the children of Israel.
Boyokani yango ekozala mpo na ye mpe mpo na bakitani na ye, mpo ete basala mosala na Ngai ya Bonganga-Nzambe mpo na libela, pamba te atalisi bolingo oyo eleka ndelo mpo na lokumu ya Nzambe na ye, mpe asali mosala ya bolimbisi masumu mpo na bana ya Isalaele. »
14 And the name of the Israelite, was slain with the woman of Madian, was Zambri the son of Salu, a prince the kindred and tribe of Simeon.
Kombo ya moto ya Isalaele oyo babomaki elongo na mwasi ya Madiani ezalaki Zimiri, mwana mobali ya Salu, mokambi ya libota ya Simeoni;
15 And the Madianite woman, that was slain with him, was called Cozbi the daughter of Sur, a most noble prince among the Madianites.
mpe oyo ya mwasi ya Madiani ezalaki Kozibi, mwana mwasi ya Tsuri, mokambi ya libota moko ya ekolo ya Madiani.
16 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
Yawe alobaki na Moyize:
17 Let the Madianites find you enemies, and slay you them:
« Kamata bato ya Madiani lokola banguna mpe boma bango,
18 Because they also have acted like enemies against you, and have guilefully deceived you by the idol Phogor, and Cozbi their sister, a daughter of a prince of Madian, who was slain in the day the plague for the sacrilege of Phogor.
pamba te bakamataki bino lokola banguna mpe basalelaki mayele mabe mpo na kokweyisa bino, na likambo ya Peori mpe ya ndeko na bango ya mwasi, Kozibi, mwana mwasi ya moko kati na bakambi ya Madiani, oyo babomaki na tango ya etumbu kati na likambo ya Peori. »
