Numbers 25
1 Israel stayed in Shittim; and the people began to play the prostitute with the daughters of Moab;
Israel kaminawk Shittim ah oh o naah, Moab canunawk hoiah nongpa nongpata zaehaih sak amtong o.
2 for they called the people to the sacrifices of their gods. The people ate and bowed down to their gods.
To nongpatanawk mah angmacae sithaw angbawnhaih ahmuen ah Israel kaminawk angzoh thai hanah pacae o; to kaminawk loe angbawnhaih buh aan to caak o moe, to ih sithawnawk hma ah akuep o.
3 Israel joined himself to Baal Peor, and the LORD’s anger burnt against Israel.
To tiah Israel kaminawk mah Peor ahmuen ah Baal to bok o pongah, Angraeng palungphuihaih Israel kaminawk nuiah phak.
4 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.”
To naah Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah, Hae kami zaehoikungnawk to kawk boih ah loe, zit kathok Angraeng palungphuihaih Israel khae hoi dip thai hanah, nihcae to khodai ah Angraeng hmaa ah qui hoiah bang ah, tiah a naa.
5 Moses said to the judges of Israel, “Everyone kill his men who have joined themselves to Baal Peor.”
To pongah Mosi mah Israel lokcaekkungnawk khaeah, Baal-Peor bokhaih ahmuen ah caeh kaminawk boih to hum oh, tiah a naa.
6 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.
Khenah, Israel kami maeto mah, Mosi hoi amkhuenghaih kahni im thok taengah kaqah, kamkhueng angmah ih nawkamya Israel kaminawk boih hma ah, Midian nongpata maeto angzoh haih.
7 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.
Qaima Aaron capa Eleazar, Eleazar capa Phinehas mah anih to hnuk naah, anih mah tayae to ban ah sin, kamkhueng kaminawk salak hoiah angthawk moe,
8 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.
to tiah zaehaih sah Israel kami ohhaih kahni im khoek to a pangh pacoengah, Israel kami hoi to nongpata to tayae hoiah zok ah takhawh hmaek. To naah Israel salak ih nathaih kasae to dip.
9 Those who died by the plague were twenty-four thousand.
Toe to ih kasae nathaih pongah kami sing hnet, sang palito duek o.
10 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah,
11 “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.
Qaima Aaron capa Eleazar, Eleazar capa Phinehas loe, kai pakoehhaih bangah palungthin thacak kami ah oh pongah, Israel kaminawk ka hum han ai ah, Israel nuiah palung ka phuihaih to anih mah dipsak boeh.
12 Therefore say, ‘Behold, I give to him my covenant of peace.
To pongah, Khenah, anih khaeah angdaeh lokmaihaih to ka paek boeh;
13 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.’”
anih loe Sithaw bokhaih bangah palungthin thacak moe, Israel kaminawk zae loih thai hanah, angbawnhaih a sak pongah, angmah hoi a caanawk khoek to dungzan ah qaima toksak hanah lokmaihaih to hnu tih, tiah a thuih pae.
14 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.
Midian nongpata hoi nawnto hum ih Israel kami ahmin loe, Simeon acaeng zaehoikung ah kaom, Salu ih capa Zimri.
15 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.
Hum ih Midian nongpata ahmin loe, Midian imthung takoh lu koek ah kaom, Zur canu Gozbi.
16 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah,
17 “Harass the Midianites, and strike them;
Midian kaminawk to na misa baktiah poek ah loe hum ah;
18 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.”
Peor sithaw to bok pongah, nathaih kasae phakhaih niah hum ih, Midian kaminawk zaehoikung ih canu, nihcae ih tanu ah kaom, Gozbi hoi Peor kawng pongah, nangcae to ang ling o boeh, tiah a naa.
