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

¹Huchi in, Israelte Sittim ah a om ua, huan, Moabte tanute a kithuahpih chiat ta ua:

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

²A pathiante uh kiang a kithoihnate uah achial ua; huchi in a ne ua, a pathiante uh chibai a buk tei ta uh.

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

³Huan, Israelte'n Baalpeor mah a pom tei ta ua; huchi in Israelte tungah TOUPA a heh mahmah hi.

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.”

⁴Huchi in TOUPA'N Mosi kiang ah, Mipite heutu tengteng pi inla, TOUPA hehna kihtakhuai tak mai Israelte tung a kipan a a kikhinmang theihna ding in sun khovak ah TOUPA mah ah awklum sak in, a chi a.

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

⁵Huan, Mosi in Israelte vaihawm mite kiang ah, Baal-peor pom peuhmahte hihlum vek un, a chi a.

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.

⁶Huan, ngai in, Israel lak a mi khat in kihoupihna puan inn kongkhak a a kah laitak un Mosi mitmuh in leh Israelte omkhawm mitmuh in Midia numei khat a unaute kiang ah a hon pi a

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;

⁷Huan, siampu Aron ta Eleazar tapa Phinehasa a muh leh omkhawmte a kipan a thou a, teipi a la ta hi;

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.

⁸Huan, Israel mi puan inn sung ah a delh lut a, Israel mi toh a nih un a sun pailet a, numei pen a gil ah. Huch in Israel suante tung a gawtna a dai ta hi.

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

⁹Huai mi gawtna a site sing nih leh sang li ahi uh.

¹⁰Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

¹⁰Huan, TOUPA'N Mosi a houpih a,

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.

¹¹Siampu Aron ta Eleazar tapa Phinehasa in ka thik bang a a lak ua a mullitna in ka hehna Israel suante lak a kipan a kikhinkhe sak ta a, huchi ka mullitna in Israel suante ka hihmangthang kei ding.

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

¹²Huaiziak in, Ngai in, ka kilemna thukhun a tungah ka khung ding a;

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.’”

¹³Huan, amah leh a nung a a suante ding in khantawn siamputna thukhun ahi ding a; a Pathian a dia mullit, Israel suante ding a kilemna a bawl ziak in, chi in, chi in.

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.

¹⁴Israel mi a thah uh, Midia numei toh a thah uh min Zimri, Simeonte lak a a innkuan inntek pen Salu tapa ahi.

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.

¹⁵Huan, Midia numei a thah uh min Kozbi, Zur tanu ahi: amah Midiate innkuan lak a heutu ahi.

¹⁶Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

¹⁶Huan, TOUPA'N Mosi a houpih a,

¹⁷“Harass the Midianites, and strike them;

¹⁷Midiate hih lungzing unla, hih niam un:Amau leng Peor tungtang thu ah leh Peor tungtang thu a gawt ni a a sanggamnu uh, Midiate mi lian tanu a thah uh, Kozbi tungtang thu ah git louh pil a a honkhem uh bang in a hon khem lailai ngal ua, chi in.

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.”

¹⁸Amau leng Peor tungtang thu ah leh Peor tungtang thu a gawt ni a a sanggamnu uh, Midiate mi lian tanu a thah uh, Kozbi tungtang thu ah git louh pil a a honkhem uh bang in a hon khem lailai ngal ua, chi in.
