Numbers 25
1 And Israel abode in Shittim; and the people began to commit fornication with the daughters of Moab.
Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa andũ a Isiraeli maikaraga Shitimu-rĩ, arũme a Isiraeli makĩambĩrĩria gũtharia na andũ-a-nja a Moabi,
2 And they invited the people to the sacrifices of their gods; and the people ate, and bowed down to their gods.
arĩa mameetaga magongona-inĩ ma ngai ciao. Andũ acio a Isiraeli makĩrĩa na makĩinamĩrĩra mbere ya ngai icio.
3 And Israel joined himself to Baal-Peor; and the anger of Jehovah was kindled against Israel.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio andũ a Isiraeli makĩnyiitanĩra nao kũhooya ngai ya Baali ya Peori. Namo marakara ma Jehova makĩmarĩrĩmbũkĩra.
4 And Jehovah said to Moses, Take all the heads of the people, and hang them up to Jehovah before the sun, that the fierce anger of Jehovah may be turned away from Israel.
Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ, “Oya atongoria othe a andũ aya, ũmoorage na ũmaanĩke mũthenya barigici mbere ya Jehova, nĩguo marakara mahiũ ma Jehova matigakinyĩrĩre andũ a Isiraeli.”
5 And Moses said to the judges of Israel, Slay every one his men that have joined themselves to Baal-Peor.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Musa akĩĩra aciirithania a Isiraeli atĩrĩ, “O mũndũ wanyu no nginya oorage arũme anyu arĩa manyiitanĩire na andũ a Moabi kũhooya Baali ya Peori.”
6 And behold, a man of the children of Israel came and brought a Midianitish woman to his brethren, in the sight of Moses, and in the sight of the whole assembly of the children of Israel, who were weeping before the entrance of the tent of meeting.
O hĩndĩ ĩyo mũndũ mũrũme Mũisiraeli akĩrehe mũndũ-wa-nja Mũmidiani mũciĩ gwake akĩonagwo nĩ Musa na kĩũngano kĩu gĩothe gĩa Isiraeli, o hĩndĩ ĩrĩa maarĩragĩra itoonyero-inĩ rĩa Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo.
7 And Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw it, and rose up from among the assembly, and took a javelin in his hand,
Rĩrĩa Finehasi mũrũ wa Eleazaru, mũrũ wa Harũni ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai, onire ũndũ ũcio-rĩ, akiuma kĩũngano-inĩ kĩu, akĩoya itimũ,
8 and he went after the man of Israel into the tent-chamber, and thrust both of them through, the man of Israel and the woman through her belly. And the plague was stayed from the children of Israel.
akĩrũmĩrĩra Mũisiraeli ũcio nginya hema-inĩ yake. Akĩmatheeca na itimũ rĩu, akĩmatũrĩkania eerĩ, itimũ rĩu rĩgĩtũrĩkania Mũisiraeli ũcio o na rĩgĩtheeca mũndũ-wa-nja ũcio. Hĩndĩ ĩyo mũthiro ũcio wokĩrĩire andũ a Isiraeli ũgĩthira;
9 And those that died in the plague were twenty-four thousand.
no andũ arĩa maakuire nĩ ũndũ wa mũthiro ũcio maarĩ andũ 24,000.
10 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Nake Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ,
11 Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, hath turned my wrath away from the children of Israel, in that he was jealous with my jealousy among them, so that I consumed not the children of Israel in my jealousy.
“Finehasi, mũrũ wa Eleazaru, mũrũ wa Harũni ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai, nĩatũmĩte marakara makwa meherere andũ a Isiraeli; nĩ ũndũ nĩahĩahĩire ngoro o ta ũrĩa ndaiguite nĩ ũndũ wa gĩtĩĩo gĩakwa thĩinĩ wao, na nĩ ũndũ ũcio o na ndahĩahĩa ndiamaniinire.
12 Therefore say, Behold, I give unto him my covenant of peace!
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ĩra Finehasi atĩrĩ, nĩ ngũthondeka kĩrĩkanĩro gĩakwa gĩa thayũ nake.
13 And he shall have it, and his seed after him, the covenant of an everlasting priesthood; because he was jealous for his God, and made atonement for the children of Israel.
We na njiaro ciake nĩ makagĩa na kĩrĩkanĩro gĩa gũtũũra kĩa ũthĩnjĩri-Ngai, nĩ ũndũ nĩahĩahĩire ngoro nĩ ũndũ wa gĩtĩĩo kĩa Ngai wake, na akĩhoroheria andũ a Isiraeli.”
14 And the name of the man of Israel that was slain, who was slain with the Midianitish woman, was Zimri, the son of Salu, the prince of a father's house of the Simeonites.
Mũisiraeli ũcio woragirwo marĩ na mũndũ-wa-nja Mũmidiani eetagwo Zimuri mũrũ wa Salu, mũtongoria wa nyũmba ya Asimeoni.
15 And the name of the Midianitish woman that was slain was Cozbi, the daughter of Zur; he was tribal head of a father's house in Midian.
Nake mũndũ-wa-nja ũcio Mũmidiani woragirwo, eetagwo Kozibi mwarĩ wa Zuru, mũnene wa mũhĩrĩga thĩinĩ wa nyũmba ĩmwe ya Amidiani.
16 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ,
17 Harass the Midianites, and smite them,
“Tua andũ a Midiani thũ cianyu na ũmoorage,
18 for they have harassed you with their wiles, wherewith they have beguiled you in the matter of Peor, and in the matter of Cozbi, the daughter of a prince of Midian, their sister, who was slain on the day of the plague because of the matter of Peor.
tondũ nĩmamũtuire thũ ciao rĩrĩa maamũheenirie ũhoro-inĩ wa kũhoera kũu Peori na wa mwarĩ wa nyina wao Kozibi, mwarĩ wa mũtongoria Mũmidiani, mũndũ-wa-nja ũrĩa woragirwo rĩrĩa mũthiro wokire nĩ ũndũ wa Peori.”
