I cannot find a Hebrew to English dictionary online. The word is bet, ayin, lamed, yud, mem. If anyone knows what it means, please tell me!

That's ba'alim, the plural of ba'al, which means lord, owner
or master. Ba'al also figures in many idioms.
My Hebrew dictionary has a whole column of them!
Two examples:
Ba'al habayit= homeowner, landlord
Ba'al tefilah= a cantor(lit. prayer master)

you are probably thinking of the plural word of husband. Ba'alim means husbands
