Numbers 25
1 When the Israelites were staying at Shittim the men started to have sex with Moabite women
Israaʼeloonni yeroo Shixiim keessa turanitti dhiironni isaanii dubartoota Moʼaab wajjin sagaagaluu jalqaban.
2 who invited them to the sacrifices made to their gods. The Israelites ate the pagan meals and bowed down before these gods.
Dubartoonni kunneenis gara qalma waaqota isaaniitti saba sana afeerraan, sabni sun qalma sana nyaatee waaqota sanaaf sagade.
3 In this way the Israelites devoted themselves in worship to Baal of Peor, and the Lord was angry with them.
Israaʼel Baʼaal Pheʼoor duukaa buʼe. Dheekkamsi Waaqayyoos isaanitti bobaʼe.
4 The Lord told Moses, “Arrest all the Israelite leaders and kill them before the Lord where everyone can see in order to turn the Lord's furious anger away from the people.”
Waaqayyo Museedhaan akkana jedhe; “Akka dheekkamsi Waaqayyoo jabaan sun saba Israaʼel irraa deebiʼuuf, hangafoota saba sanaa hunda fuudhiitii guyyaa adiidhaan fuula Waaqayyoo duratti isaan fannisi.”
5 So Moses instructed Israel's judges, “Each of you has to kill all of your men who have devoted themselves to worshiping Baal of Peor.”
Museen abbootii murtii Israaʼeliin, “Tokkoon tokkoon keessan namoota keessan kanneen Baʼaal Pheʼoor duukaa buʼan fixaa” jedhe.
6 Right then an Israelite man brought a Midianite woman to his family tent in full view of Moses and all the Israelites as they were crying at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.
Kunoo namichi Israaʼel tokko utuma isaan balbala dunkaana wal gaʼii duratti booʼaa jiranuu fuula Museetii fi fuula waldaa Israaʼel guutuu duratti dubartii Midiyaan tokko gara maatii ofii isaatti fidate.
7 When he saw this, Phinehas, son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, left the assembly, grabbed a spear
Fiinehaas ilmi Eleʼaazaar ilma Aroon lubichaa waan kana arginaan waldaa sana keessaa baʼee eeboo harkatti qabatee
8 and followed the man into his tent. There Phinehas drove the spear through both of them, through the Israelite and on into the woman's stomach. This action stopped the plague that had started to kill the Israelites,
namicha Israaʼel sana duukaa buʼee dunkaana seene; namicha Israaʼelii fi dubartittiis walitti waraanee dhagna isheetti fullaase. Akkasiin dhaʼichi Israaʼelitti dhufe sun ni dhowwame.
9 but 24,000 had already died.
Garuu baayʼinni namoota dhaʼicha sanaan dhumanii 24,000 gaʼee ture.
10 The Lord told Moses,
Waaqayyos Museedhaan akkana jedhe;
11 “Phinehas son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, has turned my anger away from the Israelites, because out of all of them he was passionately dedicated to me, so I did not destroy the Israelites in my passionate anger.
“Fiinehaas ilmi Eleʼaazaar ilma Aroon lubicha sanaa dheekkamsa koo Israaʼeloota irraa deebiseera; inni akka ani hinaaffaa kootiin isaan hin balleessineef, akkuma ani ulfina kootiif isaan gidduutti hinaafu sana innis hinaafeeraatii.
12 So make an announcement that I am granting him my peace agreement.
Kanaafuu kunoo akka ani kakuu koo kan nagaa isa wajjin godhadhu itti naaf himi.
13 It will be an agreement that ensures a permanent priesthood for him and his descendants, because he was passionately dedicated to his God and set the Israelites right.”
Sababii inni ulfina Waaqa isaatiif hinaafee Israaʼelootaaf araara buuseef, innii fi sanyiin isaa kakuu lubummaa kan bara baraa qabaatu.”
14 The name of the Israelite who was killed with the Midianite woman was Zimri, son of Salu, a family leader of the tribe of Simeon.
Maqaan namicha Israaʼel kan dubartii Midiyaan wajjin ajjeefame sanaa Zimrii ilma Saaluu ti; innis hoogganaa maatii Simiʼoon.
15 The name of the Midianite woman who was killed was Cozbi, daughter of Zur, a family leader of a Midianite tribe.
Maqaan dubartii Midiyaan kan ajjeefamte sanaa Kozbii intala Zuuri hangafa maatii Midiyaan tokkoo ti.
16 The Lord told Moses,
Waaqayyo Museedhaan akkana jedhe;
17 “Attack the Midianites and kill them,
“Midiyaanota akka diinaatti ilaaliitii ajjeesi;
18 because they attacked you deceptively, leading you astray by using Peor and their woman Cozbi, the daughter of the Midianite leader—the woman who was killed on the day the plague came because of their devotion to Peor.”
kunis waan isaan sababii Pheʼooriitii fi obboleettii isaanii Kozbii intala hoogganaa warra Midiyaan, dubartii guyyaa sababii Pheʼooriitiin dhaʼichi dhufe sana ajjeefamte sanaa irratti isin gowwoomsan sana akka diinaatti isin ilaalaniif.”
