¹And Israel abode in Shittim, and the people began to commit whoredom with the daughters of Moab.

¹Eb laj Israel queßcana chi cuânc aran Sitim. Nak cuanqueb aran eb li cuînk queßxtiquib mâcobc riqßuineb li ixk aj Moab.

²And they called the people unto the sacrifices of their gods: and the people did eat, and bowed down to their gods.

²Eb li ixk aßan nequeßxbok li cuînk aj Israel saß lix ninkßeheb nak nequeßmayejac chiru lix dioseb. Ut eb laj Israel queßxlokßoni li jalanil dios Baal-peor ut queßxcuaß li tzacaêmk li mayejanbil chiruheb li yîbanbil dios.

³And Israel joined himself unto Baalpeor: and the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel.

³Joßcan nak eb laj Israel queßoc chixlokßoninquil li yîbanbil dios Baal-peor. Ut cßajoß nak quichal xjoskßil li Kâcuaß saß xbêneb laj Israel.

⁴And the LORD said unto Moses, Take all the heads of the people, and hang them up before the LORD against the sun, that the fierce anger of the LORD may be turned away from Israel.

⁴Ut li Kâcuaß quixye re laj Moisés: —Tâchßutubeb chixjunileb li cuînk li nequeßcßamoc be saß xyânkeb laj Israel. Ut tâyatzßeb chiruheb chixjunileb li tenamit re nak tâêlk lin joskßil saß xbêneb laj Israel, chan li Dios.

⁵And Moses said unto the judges of Israel, Slay ye every one his men that were joined unto Baalpeor.

⁵Joßcan nak laj Moisés quixye reheb li nequeßrakoc âtin: —Lâex têchßutubeb chixjunileb saß lê têpal li queßxlokßoni li yîbanbil dios Baal-peor ut têcamsiheb, chan.

⁶And, behold, one of the children of Israel came and brought unto his brethren a Midianitish woman in the sight of Moses, and in the sight of all the congregation of the children of Israel, who were weeping before the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.

⁶Ut jun li cuînk aj Israel quixcßam riqßuin jun li ixk aj Madián ut quirocsi saß lix muhebâl re tâcuânk riqßuin. Quixbânu aßan chiru laj Moisés ut chiruheb chixjunileb laj Israel nak yôqueb chi yâbac chiru li oquebâl re li tabernáculo.

⁷And when Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw it, he rose up from among the congregation, and took a javelin in his hand;

⁷Ut laj Finees li ralal laj Eleazar quiril li quixbânu. Laj Finees, aßan li ri laj Aarón laj tij. Qui-el saß xyânkeb laj Israel. Quixcßam jun li lâns saß rukß nak cô.

⁸And he went after the man of Israel into the tent, and thrust both of them through, the man of Israel, and the woman through her belly. So the plague was stayed from the children of Israel.

⁸Cô saß lix muhebâl li cuînk li quicßamoc re li ixk aj Madián. Qui-oc saß li muhebâl ut quixnumsi lix lâns saß xsaßeb li cuînk ut li ixk. Quixcamsiheb chixcabichaleb. Ut riqßuin aßan quichßana li caki yajel li yô chi camsînc reheb li cuînk aj Israel.

⁹And those that died in the plague were twenty and four thousand.

⁹Abanan ac xeßcam câhib xcaßcßâl mil laj Israel xban li caki yajel.

¹⁰And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

¹⁰Ut li Kâcuaß quixye re laj Moisés:

¹¹Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, hath turned my wrath away from the children of Israel, while he was zealous for my sake among them, that I consumed not the children of Israel in my jealousy.

¹¹—Xban li cßaßru xbânu laj Finees li ralal laj Eleazar, xcube injoskßil saß xbêneb laj Israel. Laj Finees incßaß quixcanabeb chixlokßoninquileb li jalanil dios. Incßaß quiraj nak teßrisi inlokßal lâin. Xban aßan nak lâin incßaß quinsach ruheb chixjunileb nak yô injoskßil saß xbêneb.

¹²Wherefore say, Behold, I give unto him my covenant of peace:

¹²Joßcan nak tâye re laj Finees nak lâin tinbânu jun li contrato riqßuin re tixcßam rib saß usilal cuiqßuin.

¹³And he shall have it, and his seed after him, even the covenant of an everlasting priesthood; because he was zealous for his God, and made an atonement for the children of Israel.

¹³Xakabanbileb chi cßanjelac chokß aj tij laj Finees joß eb ajcuiß li ralal xcßajol chalen anakcuan ut chi junelic xban nak laj Finees incßaß quiraj nak teßxqßue xlokßal li yîbanbil dios. Quiraj ban nak caßaj cuiß lâin tineßxlokßoni. Riqßuin li cßaßru quixbânu quixtoj rix lix mâqueb li tenamit, chan li Dios.

¹⁴Now the name of the Israelite that was slain, even that was slain with the Midianitish woman, was Zimri, the son of Salu, a prince of a chief house among the Simeonites.

¹⁴Li cuînk aj Israel li quicamsîc rochben li ixk aj Madián, aßan laj Zimri li ralal laj Salu, li quitaklan saß xbêneb li ralal xcßajol laj Simeón.

¹⁵And the name of the Midianitish woman that was slain was Cozbi, the daughter of Zur; he was head over a people, and of a chief house in Midian.

¹⁵Ut li ixk li quicamsîc, aßan lix Cozbi lix rabin laj Zur, li nataklan saß xbêneb jun chßûtal laj Madián.

¹⁶And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

¹⁶Li Kâcuaß quiâtinac riqßuin laj Moisés ut quixye re:

¹⁷Vex the Midianites, and smite them:

¹⁷—Ayukex chi pletic riqßuineb laj Madián ut tâsach ruheb,xban nak aßan eb xeßqßuehoc reheb laj Israel chixlokßoninquil li yîbanbil dios Baal-peor. Ut yôqueb chi cßamoc be chiruheb chixbânunquil li mâusilal li quixbânu lix Cozbi lix rabin li cuînk aj Madián li cuan xcuanquil. Li ixk aßan quicamsîc saß li cutan nak queßcam nabaleb xban nak queßxlokßoni laj Baal-peor, chan li Dios.

¹⁸For they vex 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, which was slain in the day of the plague for Peor's sake.

¹⁸xban nak aßan eb xeßqßuehoc reheb laj Israel chixlokßoninquil li yîbanbil dios Baal-peor. Ut yôqueb chi cßamoc be chiruheb chixbânunquil li mâusilal li quixbânu lix Cozbi lix rabin li cuînk aj Madián li cuan xcuanquil. Li ixk aßan quicamsîc saß li cutan nak queßcam nabaleb xban nak queßxlokßoni laj Baal-peor, chan li Dios.
