1 A nd Israel dwelleth in Shittim, and the people begin to go a-whoring unto daughters of Moab,

Na ka noho a Iharaira ki Hitimi, a ka anga te iwi ka moepuku ki nga tamahine a Moapa.

2 a nd they call for the people to the sacrifices of their gods, and the people eat, and bow themselves to their gods,

Na ratou hoki i karanga te iwi ki nga patunga tapu ma o ratou atua: na kai ana te iwi, a koropiko ana ki o ratou atua.

3 a nd Israel is joined to Baal-Peor, and the anger of Jehovah burneth against Israel.

Na ka whakaukia a Iharaira ki a Paarapeoro, a ka mura te riri o Ihowa ki a Iharaira.

4 A nd Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Take all the chiefs of the people, and hang them before Jehovah -- over-against the sun; and the fierceness of the anger of Jehovah doth turn back from Israel.'

Na ka mea a Ihowa ki a Mohi, Tangohia nga ariki katoa o te iwi, taronatia hoki ki te aroaro o Ihowa, i te ritenga atu o te ra, kia tahuri atu ai i a Iharaira te riri o Ihowa e mura nei.

5 A nd Moses saith unto the judges of Israel, `Slay ye each his men who are joined to Baal-Peor.'

Na ka mea a Mohi ki nga kaiwhakawa o Iharaira, Patua e tenei, e tenei o koutou ona tangata i whakaukia ki a Paarapeoro.

6 A nd lo, a man of the sons of Israel hath come, and bringeth in unto his brethren the Midianitess, before the eyes of Moses, and before the eyes of all the company of the sons of Israel, who are weeping at the opening of the tent of meeting;

Na, ka puta tetahi o nga tama a Iharaira, e mau ana mai i tetahi wahine Miriani ki ona teina i te tirohanga atu a Mohi, i te tirohanga atu ano hoki a te whakaminenga katoa o nga tama a Iharaira, i a ratou e tangi ana i te whatitoka o te tapenakar a o te whakaminenga.

7 a nd Phinehas, son of Eleazar, son of Aaron, the priest, seeth, and riseth from the midst of the company, and taketh a javelin in his hand,

A, no te kitenga o Pinehaha, tama a Ereatara, tama a Arona tohunga, ka whakatika i te whakaminenga, ka hopu i te tao ki tona ringa;

8 a nd goeth in after the man of Israel unto the hollow place, and pierceth them both, the man of Israel and the woman -- unto her belly, and the plague is restrained from the sons of Israel;

Na ka haere i muri i te tangata o Iharaira ki te teneti, a weohia ana raua tokorua, te tangata o Iharaira, me te wahine hoki i tona tia. A mutu iho te whiu o nga tama a Iharaira.

9 a nd the dead by the plague are four and twenty thousand.

A ko te hunga i mate i te whiu e rua tekau ma wha mano.

10 A nd Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

Na ka korero a Ihowa ki a Mohi, ka mea,

11 ` Phinehas, son of Eleazar, son of Aaron the priest, hath turned back My fury from the sons of Israel, by his being zealous with My zeal in their midst, and I have not consumed the sons of Israel in My zeal.

Na Pinehaha, tama a Ereatara, tama a Arona tohunga, toku riri i anga ke atu ai i nga tama a Iharaira, i tona ngakau hae penei i toku i roto i a ratou, i kore ai nga tama a Iharaira e poto i ahau, i ahau e hae ana.

12 ` Therefore say, Lo, I am giving to him My covenant of peace,

Mo reira me ki atu e koe, Nana, ka hoatu e ahau ki a ia taku kawenata mo te rangimarie:

13 a nd it hath been to him and to his seed after him a covenant of a priesthood age-during, because that he hath been zealous for his God, and doth make atonement for the sons of Israel.'

A ka mau ki a ia, ki ona uri hoki i muri i a ia, hei kawenata kia mau tonu te mahi tohunga; mona i hae, he whakaaro ki tona Atua, i mea whakamarietanga ano hoki mo nga tama a Iharaira.

14 A nd the name of the man of Israel who is smitten, who hath been smitten with the Midianitess, Zimri son of Salu, prince of the house of a father of the Simeonite;

A ko te ingoa o te tangata o Iharaira i patua, i patua tahitia ra me te wahine Miriani, ko Timiri tama a Haru, he rangatira no tetahi whare kaumatua i roto i nga Himioni.

15 a nd the name of the woman who is smitten, the Midianitess, Cozbi daughter of Zur, head of a people -- of the house of a father in Midian he.

Ko te ingoa hoki o te wahine Miriani i patua nei ko Kohopi, he tamahine na Turu; he rangatira ia no tetahi iwi, no tetahi whare kaumatua o Miriana.

16 A nd Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

Na ka korero a Ihowa ki a Mohi, ka mea,

17 ` Distress the Midianites, and ye have smitten them,

Whakataria he pakanga ki nga Miriani, patua hoki:

18 f or they are adversaries to you with their frauds, which they have acted fraudulently to you, concerning the matter of Peor, and concerning the matter of Cozbi, daughter of a prince of Midian, their sister, who is smitten in the day of the plague for the matter of Peor.'

E whakatari ano hoki ratou i a koutou ki a ratou mahi tinihanga, i tinihangatia ra koutou e ratou i te mea mo Peoro, i te mea hoki mo Kohipi, tamahine a te rangatira o Miriana, he tuahine no ratou, i patua ra i te ra o te whiunga mo Peoro.
