¹[Ny nijangajangan'ny Isiraely tamin'ny zanakavavin'ny Moabita] Ary nitoetra tao Sitima ny Isiraely, dia niantomboka nijangajanga tamin'ny zanakavavin'ny Moabita izy.

¹Israel stayed in Shittim; and the people began to play the prostitute with the daughters of Moab:

²Fa ireo nanasa ny olona hihinana tamin'ny zavatra novonoiny ho fanatitra ho an'ny andriamaniny, ka nihinana ny olona sady niankohoka tamin'ny andriamaniny.

²for they called the people to the sacrifices of their gods; and the people ate, and bowed down to their gods.

³Dia niray tamin'i Bala-peora ny Isiraely, ka nirehitra taminy ny fahatezeran'i Jehovah.

³Israel joined himself to Baal Peor: and the anger of Yahweh was kindled against Israel.

⁴Dia hoy Jehovah tamin'i Mosesy: Alao ny loholona rehetra, ary ahantòny tandrifin'ny masoandro eo anatrehan'i Jehovah ireo nijangajanga ireo, mba hitsaharan'ny firehetan'ny fahatezeran'i Jehovah amin'ny Isiraely.

⁴Yahweh said to Moses, “Take all the chiefs of the people, and hang them up to Yahweh before the sun, that the fierce anger of Yahweh may turn away from Israel.”

⁵Dia hoy Mosesy tamin'ny mpitsara ny Isiraely: Samia ianareo mamono ny olom-peheziny, izay niray tamin'i Bala-peora.

⁵Moses said to the judges of Israel, “Everyone kill his men who have joined themselves to Baal Peor.”

⁶Ary, indro, avy ny anankiray tamin'ny Zanak'Isiraely nitondra vehivavy Midianita teo amin'ny rahalahiny, teo imason'i Mosesy sy ny fiangonana, dia ny Zanak'Isiraely rehetra, izay nitomany teo amin'ny varavaran'ny trano-lay fihaonana.

⁶Behold, 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.

⁷Ary raha nahita izany Finehasa, zanak'i Eleazara, zanak'i Arona mpisorona, dia nitsangana niala teo amin'ny fiangonana izy ka nitondra lefona teny an-tànany;

⁷When Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw it, he rose up from the midst of the congregation, and took a spear in his hand;

⁸dia nandeha nanaraka ilay lehilahy Isiraelita tao an-day izy, ary nataony indray nandefona izy roroa, dia ny lehilahy Isiraelita sy ny vehivavy, ka voagorobaka hatrany amin'ny kibon-dravehivavy. Dia natsahatra ny areti-mandringana teo amin'ny Zanak'Isiraely.

⁸and 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 stayed from the children of Israel.

⁹Ary izay maty tamin'ny areti-mandringana dia efatra arivo amby roa alina.

⁹Those who died by the plague were twenty-four thousand.

¹⁰Ary Jehovah niteny tamin'i Mosesy ka nanao hoe:

¹⁰Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

¹¹Finehasa, zanak'i Eleazara, zanak'i Arona mpisorona, nampiala ny fahatezerako tamin'ny Zanak'Isiraely, raha firehitra noho ny fitiavany Ahy izy; ka dia tsy nataoko lany ringana ny Zanak'Isiraely tamin'ny firehetan'ny fahatezerako.

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 among them, so that I didn’t consume the children of Israel in my jealousy.

¹²Ary noho izany dia lazao hoe: Indro, omeko azy ny faneken'ny fihavanako;

¹²Therefore say, ‘Behold, I give to him my covenant of peace:

¹³ary izy sy ny zanany mandimby azy no hanana izany ho faneken'ny fisoronana mandrakizay, satria nirehitra noho ny fitiavany an'Andriamaniny izy ka nanao fanavotana ho an'ny Zanak'Isiraely.

¹³and it shall be to him, and to 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.’”

¹⁴Ary ny anaran'ilay lehilahy Isiraelita novonoina, izay niaraka novonoina tamin-dravehivavy Midianita, dia Zimry, zanak i Salo, lohan'ny fianakaviana tamin'ny Simeonita.

¹⁴Now 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 among the Simeonites.

¹⁵Ary ny anaran'ny vehivavy Midianita izay novonoina dia Kosby, zanak'i Zora, lohan'ny fianakaviana tamin'ny Midianita.

¹⁵The 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.

¹⁶Ary Jehovah niteny tamin'i Mosesy ka nanao hoe:

¹⁶Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

¹⁷Rafeso ny Midianita, ka iadio;fa izy nandrafy anareo tamin'ny fanangoleny, izay nanangoleny anareo tamin'ny an'i Peora sy Kosby anabaviny, zanakavavin'ny andriandahy Midianita anankiray, izay novonoina tamin'ny andron'ny areti-mandringana noho ny an'i Peora.

¹⁷“Harass the Midianites, and strike them;

¹⁸fa izy nandrafy anareo tamin'ny fanangoleny, izay nanangoleny anareo tamin'ny an'i Peora sy Kosby anabaviny, zanakavavin'ny andriandahy Midianita anankiray, izay novonoina tamin'ny andron'ny areti-mandringana noho ny an'i Peora.

¹⁸for they harassed you with their wiles, with which they have deceived you in the matter of Peor, and in the matter of Cozbi, the daughter of the prince of Midian, their sister, who was slain on the day of the plague in the matter of Peor.”
