1Israel stayed in Shittim; and the people began to play the prostitute with the daughters of Moab:
1 Waato kaŋ Israyla go Jitti-Nya batama ra ga goro, jama sintin ka Mowabancey wayborey zina.
2for they called the people to the sacrifices of their gods; and the people ate, and bowed down to their gods.
2 Zama i na jama hã ka ne i ma kaa ngey toorey sargay fooro do. Borey mo koy ka ŋwa ka sombu i toorey jine mo.
3Israel joined himself to Baal Peor: and the anger of Yahweh was kindled against Israel.
3 Israyla na nga boŋ margu mo da Baal-Peyor tooro hala Rabbi futa koroŋ Israyla se.
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.”
4 Waato din gaa Rabbi salaŋ Musa se ka ne: «Ni ma jama jine borey kulu kaŋ yaŋ furo taalo ra di. M'i sarku beene Rabbi jine wayna kaaro ra hal a ma Rabbi futa kosaray ka kaa Israyla gaa.»
5Moses said to the judges of Israel, “Everyone kill his men who have joined themselves to Baal Peor.”
5 Musa mo salaŋ Israyla alkaaley se ka ne: «Araŋ kundey ra boro fo kulu kaŋ koy ka margu nda Baal-Peyor tooro, kal araŋ m'i wi.»
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.
6 Kala sahãadin, Israyla boro fo kaa, Musa nda Israyla jama kulu jine, waato kaŋ i go kubayyaŋ hukumo meyo jarga ga margu ka hẽ. Bora kande nga Madiyance wayboro nga nya-izey do.
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;
7 Waato kaŋ Eliyezar ize Fineyas, kaŋ ci Alfa Haruna ize, a di woodin, kal a tun jama bindo ra ka yaaji fo sambu nga kambe ra.
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.
8 A na Israyla bora din gana kala kuuru fu tongo-tonga ra. A n'i boro hinka hay, Israyla bora da waybora, ka waybora gunda fun. Yaadin no i na balaawo gaay d'a Israyla izey game ra.
9Those who died by the plague were twenty-four thousand.
9 Amma borey kaŋ yaŋ bu balaawo ra, boro zambar waranka cindi taaci no.
10Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
10 Rabbi salaŋ Musa se ka ne:
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.
11 «Eliyezar ize Fineyas, Haruna haama n'ay futay korna kosaray Israyla se. Zama a gonda anniya ay se i game ra, hal ay ma si Israyla izey tuusu ay cansa ra.
12Therefore say, ‘Behold, I give to him my covenant of peace:
12 Woodin sabbay se ni ma woone ci a se ka ne: Ma maa sohõ: in da nin game ra baani alkawli go no.
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.’”
13 A ga goro a se d'a banda borey mo se. Alkawli no kaŋ g'i ciya alfagayaŋ duumi. Zama a gonda anniya hanno nga Irikoyo se, a na sasabandiyaŋ te mo Israyla izey se.»
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.
14 Israyla bora kaŋ i wi din, nga nda Madiyance waybora, a maa ga ti Zimri, Salu ize. Jine boro no Simeyon kunda marga fo se.
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.
15 Madiyance waybora, kaŋ i wi mo, a maa ga ti Kozbi, Zur ize way no. Baabo ya Madiyancey kunda fo se jine boro no.
16Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
16 Rabbi salaŋ Musa se ka ne:
17“Harass the Midianites, and strike them;
17 «Wa Madiyancey lasaabu araŋ ibareyaŋ k'i kar.
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.”
18 Zama i na ibaretaray cabe araŋ se i hiila do. I n'araŋ halli Peyor sanno do, d'i waymo Kozbi sanno do mo, nga kaŋ ti Madiyancey jine bora ize way, waybora din kaŋ i wi balaawo hane no, Peyor sanno sabbay se.»
