25 ʻI he nofo ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi Sitimí,+ naʻe kamata ai ke fehokotaki fakasino taʻetaau ʻa e kakaí mo e ngaahi ʻofefine ʻo Mōapé.+ 2 Naʻe fakaafeʻi ʻe he kakai fefiné ʻa e kakaí ki he ngaahi feilaulau naʻe fai ki honau ngaahi ʻotuá,+ pea naʻe kamata ke kai ʻa e kakaí mo nau punou hifo ki honau ngaahi ʻotuá.+ 3 Ko ia naʻe kau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi he lotu* kia Pēali ʻo Peolí,+ pea naʻe hoko ai ʻo houhau ʻa Sihova ʻi ʻIsileli. 4 Naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese: “ʻAve ʻa e kau taki* kotoa ʻo e kakaí ni pea tautau kinautolu ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihová lolotonga ʻene maama lelei ʻa e ʻahó,* ke foki ai ʻa e houhau kakaha ʻa Sihová mei ʻIsileli.” 5 Naʻe pehē ange leva ʻe Mōsese ki he kau fakamaau ʻo ʻIsilelí:+ “Ko e tokotaha taki taha ʻo kimoutolú ʻoku totonu ke ne tāmateʻi ʻa ʻene kau tangata ko ia naʻe kau ʻi he lotu* kia Pēali ʻo Peolí.”+
6 Ka ʻi he taimi pē ko iá, naʻe haʻu ha taha ʻo e kau ʻIsilelí ʻo ne ʻomi ʻo ofi ki hono fanga tokouá ha fefine Mitiani+ ʻo mamata ki ai ʻa Mōsese mo e fuʻu fakataha kotoa ʻo e kau ʻIsilelí, lolotonga ia ʻenau fetāngihi ʻi he hūʻanga ʻo e tēniti feʻiloakiʻangá. 7 ʻI he sio ki ai ʻa Fineasi+ ko e foha ʻo ʻEliesa ko e foha ʻo ʻĒlone ko e taulaʻeikí, naʻá ne mālanga hake he taimi pē ko iá mei he lotolotonga ʻo e fuʻu fakatahá ʻo ne toʻo ha tao ʻi hono nimá. 8 Naʻá ne tulimui atu leva ʻi he tangata ʻIsilelí ki he tēnití ʻo ne hokaʻi fakatouʻosi kinaua, ʻa e tangata ʻIsilelí mo e fefiné ʻi hono keté.* Naʻe tuʻu leva ai ʻa e mala naʻe tō+ ki he kau ʻIsilelí. 9 Ko e faʻahinga ko ia naʻe mate ʻi he malá naʻe feʻunga mo e toko 24,000.+
10 Naʻe folofola leva ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese: 11 “Ko Fineasi+ ko e foha ʻo ʻEliesa ko e foha ʻo ʻĒlone ko e taulaʻeikí kuó ne fakafoki ʻa ʻeku houhaú mei he kakai ʻo ʻIsilelí koeʻuhí naʻe ʻikai ʻaupito te ne makātakiʻi hano fakauouaʻi au ʻi honau lotolotongá.+ Ko ia kuo ʻikai te u fakaʻauha ʻosi ʻa e kau ʻIsilelí ʻi heʻeku fiemaʻu ʻa e anga-līʻoa maʻataʻataá.+ 12 Ko ia ai, te ke pehē, ‘ʻOku ou ʻoange kiate ia ʻeku fuakava ʻo e melino. 13 Pea ʻe hoko ia ko e fuakava ki ha tuʻunga taulaʻeiki taʻengata kiate ia pea mo hono hako ʻi he hili iá,+ koeʻuhí naʻe ʻikai te ne makātakiʻi hano fakauouaʻi ʻa hono ʻOtuá+ pea naʻá ne fai ai ha ʻufiʻufi angahala maʻá e kakai ʻo ʻIsilelí.’”
14 Kae kehe, ko e hingoa ʻo e tangata ʻIsileli naʻe tāmateʻi fakataha mo e fefine Mitianí ko Similai ko e foha ʻo Salū, ko ha ʻeiki ʻo ha fale ʻo e ngaahi tamai ʻa e kau Simioné. 15 Ko e hingoa ʻo e fefine Mitiani ʻa ia naʻe tāmateʻí ko Kōsipi ko e ʻofefine ʻo Siuli;+ ko ha taki ia ʻo e ngaahi haʻa ʻo ha fale ʻo ʻene ngaahi tamaí ʻi Mitiani.+
16 Ki mui ai, naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese: 17 “Fakahohaʻatuʻuʻi ʻa e kau Mitianí pea taaʻi kinautolu,+ 18 koeʻuhí kuo nau fakahohaʻatuʻuʻi kimoutolu ʻaki ʻenau ngaahi faikākā kiate kimoutolu ʻi he meʻa fekauʻaki mo Peolí+ pea mo Kōsipi ko e ʻofefine ʻo ha ʻeiki ʻo Mitiani, ʻa ia naʻe tāmateʻi+ ʻi he ʻaho ʻo e mala ʻi he meʻa fekauʻaki mo Peolí.”+
