     Y-Môis lač kơ diñu, “Diih lui jih jang phung mniê dôk hdĭp mơ̆? Nĕ phung anei hŏng klei Y-Balaam kčĕ brei phung ƀuôn sang Israel ngă klei knhông ti anăp Yêhôwa hlăm bruă yang Pêôr, kyua anăn klei ruă djiê tưp truh kơ phung Yêhôwa bi kƀĭn. Snăn ară anei bi mdjiê hĕ jih jang êkei hlăm phung anak điêt, leh anăn bi mdjiê hĕ jih jang mniê tuôm đih hŏng êkei leh.

     Moses told them, "Have you let all the women live? Look, they were the ones who followed Balaam's conspiracy and induced Israelites to worship Peor, and committed a sin against Jehovah; and that sin caused calamity on Jehovah's people. So now, kill all the males among the children, and kill all the women who have slept with a man; but save yourselves all the girls who have never slept with a man.
