1Israel kaminawk Shittim ah oh o naah, Moab canunawk hoiah nongpa nongpata zaehaih sak amtong o.
1And Israel abode in Shittim, and the people began to commit harlotry with the daughters of Moab.
2To nongpatanawk mah angmacae sithaw angbawnhaih ahmuen ah Israel kaminawk angzoh thai hanah pacae o; to kaminawk loe angbawnhaih buh aan to caak o moe, to ih sithawnawk hma ah akuep o.
2And they called the people unto the sacrifices of their gods; and the people did eat, and bowed down to their gods.
3To tiah Israel kaminawk mah Peor ahmuen ah Baal to bok o pongah, Angraeng palungphuihaih Israel kaminawk nuiah phak.
3And Israel joined himself unto the Baal of Peor; and the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel.

4And the LORD said unto Moses: 'Take all the chiefs of the people, and hang them up unto the LORD in face of the sun, that the fierce anger of the LORD may turn away from Israel.'
5To pongah Mosi mah Israel lokcaekkungnawk khaeah, Baal-Peor bokhaih ahmuen ah caeh kaminawk boih to hum oh, tiah a naa.
5And Moses said unto the judges of Israel: 'Slay ye every one his men that have joined themselves unto the Baal of Peor.'
6Khenah, Israel kami maeto mah, Mosi hoi amkhuenghaih kahni im thok taengah kaqah, kamkhueng angmah ih nawkamya Israel kaminawk boih hma ah, Midian nongpata maeto angzoh haih.
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, while they were weeping at the door of the tent of meeting.
7Qaima Aaron capa Eleazar, Eleazar capa Phinehas mah anih to hnuk naah, anih mah tayae to ban ah sin, kamkhueng kaminawk salak hoiah angthawk moe,
7And when 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.
8to tiah zaehaih sah Israel kami ohhaih kahni im khoek to a pangh pacoengah, Israel kami hoi to nongpata to tayae hoiah zok ah takhawh hmaek. To naah Israel salak ih nathaih kasae to dip.
8And he went after the man of Israel into the chamber, 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.
9Toe to ih kasae nathaih pongah kami sing hnet, sang palito duek o.
9And those that died by the plague were twenty and four thousand.
10Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah,
10And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:
11Qaima Aaron capa Eleazar, Eleazar capa Phinehas loe, kai pakoehhaih bangah palungthin thacak kami ah oh pongah, Israel kaminawk ka hum han ai ah, Israel nuiah palung ka phuihaih to anih mah dipsak boeh.
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 very jealous for My sake among them, so that I consumed not the children of Israel in My jealousy.
12To pongah, Khenah, anih khaeah angdaeh lokmaihaih to ka paek boeh;
12Wherefore say: Behold, I give unto him My covenant of peace;
13anih loe Sithaw bokhaih bangah palungthin thacak moe, Israel kaminawk zae loih thai hanah, angbawnhaih a sak pongah, angmah hoi a caanawk khoek to dungzan ah qaima toksak hanah lokmaihaih to hnu tih, tiah a thuih pae.
13and it shall be unto 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.'
14Midian nongpata hoi nawnto hum ih Israel kami ahmin loe, Simeon acaeng zaehoikung ah kaom, Salu ih capa Zimri.
14Now the name of the man of Israel that was slain, who was slain with the Midianitish woman, was Zimri, the son of Salu, a prince of a fathers' house among the Simeonites.
15Hum ih Midian nongpata ahmin loe, Midian imthung takoh lu koek ah kaom, Zur canu Gozbi.
15And the name of the Midianitish woman that was slain was Cozbi, the daughter of Zur; he was head of the people of a fathers' house in Midian.
16Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah,
16And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:
17Midian kaminawk to na misa baktiah poek ah loe hum ah;
17'Harass the Midianites, and smite them;
18Peor sithaw to bok pongah, nathaih kasae phakhaih niah hum ih, Midian kaminawk zaehoikung ih canu, nihcae ih tanu ah kaom, Gozbi hoi Peor kawng pongah, nangcae to ang ling o boeh, tiah a naa.
18for they harass you, by their wiles wherewith they have beguiled 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.'
