< Numbers 25 >

1 While the Israelis were camped at a place called Acacia [Grove], some of the men caused themselves to become unacceptable to God by having sex with some of the women of the Moab [people-group who lived in that area].
Nagtalinaed dagiti Isaraelita idiay Settim, ket rinugian dagiti lallaki ti makikaidda kadagiti babbai iti Moab,
2 Then those women invited the men to come when the sacrifices were being offered to their gods. The Israeli men [accepted]. They went to the feasts with the women and worshiped the gods of the Moab people-group.
ta inawis dagiti Moabita dagiti tattao iti panangidaton kadagiti diosda. Isu a nangan ken nagrukbab dagiti tattao kadagiti dios dagiti Moabita.
3 By doing that, those Israeli people joined the women in worshiping the god Baal [add] the Moab people-group thought lived on Peor Mountain. That caused Yahweh to become very angry with his people.
Nakitipon dagiti lallaki nga Isaelita iti panagdaydayaw kenni Baal ti Peor, ket narubroban ti unget ni Yahweh maibusor iti Israel.
4 Yahweh said this to Moses/me: “Seize all the leaders of those men who are doing this and execute them while I am watching. Do that in the daytime. After you do that, I will no longer be angry with the Israeli people.”
Kinuna ni Yahweh kenni Moises, “Papatayem dagiti amin a pangulo dagiti tattao ken ibitinmo ida iti aldaw iti imatangko, tapno agbaaw ti kasta unay a pungtotko iti Israel.”
5 So Moses/I said to the other Israeli leaders, “Each of you must execute your men who have joined [others] in worshiping Baal.”
Isu a kinuna ni Moises kadagiti pangulo ti Israel, “Masapul a papatayen ti tunggal maysa kadakayo ti tattaona a nakikadua iti panagdaydayaw kenni Baal iti Peor.”
6 [But later], while Moses/I and many [HYP] other people were crying at the entrance of the Sacred Tent, while they/we were watching, one of the Israeli men brought a woman from the Midian people-group into his tent [and started to have sex with her].
Kalpasanna, simmangpet ti maysa a lalaki nga Israelita ken nangiyeg ti maysa a babai a Midianita kadagiti kameng ti pamiliana. Napasamak daytoy iti imatang ni Moises ken kadagiti amin a tattao ti Israel, bayat nga agsangsangitda sadiay pagserkan ti tabernakulo.
7 When Phinehas, who was the grandson of Aaron, saw that, he grabbed a spear
Idi nakita dayta ni Finees a padi nga anak ni Eliazar nga anak ni Aaron, timmakder isuna manipud kadagiti tattao ken nangala iti gayang.
8 and rushed into the man’s tent. He thrust the spear completely through the man’s body and into the woman’s belly [and killed both of them]. When he did that, the (plague/serious illness) [that had started to strike the Israelis] stopped.
Sinurotna ti lalaki nga Israelita iti uneg ti tolda ket induyokna ti gayang ket simmalpot kadagiti bagida a dua, ti lalaki nga Israelita ken ti babai. Isu a simmardeng ti didigra nga impatulod ni Yahweh kadagiti Israelita.
9 But 24,000 people had already died [from that plague].
Dagiti natay iti didigra ket 24, 000 iti bilangda.
10 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,
Nagsao ni Yaweh kenni Moises ket kinunana,
11 “Phinehas has caused me to stop being angry with the Israeli people, by being as eager as I am [to stop this sinful behavior]. I was ready to get rid of all the Israeli people because I was extremely angry, but Phinehas has prevented me from doing that.
“Ni Finees a padi nga anak ni Eleazar nga anak ni Aaron ket pinabaawna ti pungtotko kadagiti Israelita gapu ta nakaunget isuna a kas iti gagarko kadakuada. Isu a saankon a dinadael dagiti Israelita iti kinarungsot ti ungetko.
12 Now tell him that I am making a special peace agreement with him.
Ibagam ngarud, 'kinuna ni Yahweh, “Adtoy makitulagakon iti kapia kenni Finees.
13 In this agreement, I am promising to give to him and to his descendants the right/authority to be priests. I am doing this because [he showed that] he was very eager to honor me, his God, by stopping this sinful behavior. He has caused the Israeli people to become acceptable to me again by causing them to be forgiven for their sin.”
Para kenkuana ken kadagiti kaputotanna a sumaruno kenkuana, tulagto daytoy iti agnanayon a kinapadi gapu ta napasnek isuna kaniak a Diosna. Nangaramid isuna iti pakapakawanan dagiti tattao ti Israel.”'”
14 The Israeli man who was killed with the woman of the Moab people-group was named Zimri. He was the son of Salu, who was the leader of a family from the tribe of Simeon.
Ita, ti nagan ti lalaki nga Israelita a napapatay a kadua ti babai a Midianita ket Zimri nga anak ni Salu, maysa a pangulo iti maysa a pamilia ti kapuonan dagiti Simeonita.
15 The woman’s name was Cozbi. She was the daughter of Zur, who was the leader of one of the clans of the Midian people-group.
Ti nagan ti babai a Midianita a napapatay ket Cosbi nga anak ni Zur a pangulo ti maysa a tribu ken pamilia idiay Midia.
16 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,
Isu a nagsao ni Yaweh kenni Moises ket kinunana,
17 “[Take your men and] attack the Midian people-group and kill them.
“Ibilangyo a kabusoryo dagiti Midianita ken rautenyo ida,
18 They have become your enemies, because they tricked you Israeli people and induced/persuaded many of you to worship Baal, and because [one of your men had sex with] Cozbi, who was the daughter of a leader of the Midian people-group. She was killed at the time the plague [started because the people sinned] at Peor [Mountain].”
ta imbilangdakayo a kabusor iti panangallilawda. Inturongdakayo iti dakes maipapan iti Peor ken maipapan iti kabsatda a babai a ni Cozbi, ti anak ti pangulo idiay Midia a napapatay iti aldaw ti didigra maipanggep iti Peor.
