اَلْعَدَد 25

١ 1 وَأَقَامَ إِسْرَائِيلُ فِي شِطِّيمَ، وَٱبْتَدَأَ ٱلشَّعْبُ يَزْنُونَ مَعَ بَنَاتِ مُوآبَ.

And Israel sojourned in Sattin, and the people profaned itself by going a-whoring after the daughters of Moab.

٢ 2 فَدَعَوْنَ ٱلشَّعْبَ إِلَى ذَبَائِحِ آلِهَتِهِنَّ، فَأَكَلَ ٱلشَّعْبُ وَسَجَدُوا لِآلِهَتِهِنَّ.

And they called them to the sacrifices of their idols; and the people ate of their sacrifices, and worshipped their idols.

٣ 3 وَتَعَلَّقَ إِسْرَائِيلُ بِبَعْلِ فَغُورَ. فَحَمِيَ غَضَبُ ٱلرَّبِّ عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ.

And Israel consecrated themselves to Beel-phegor; and the Lord was very angry with Israel.

٤ 4 فَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «خُذْ جَمِيعَ رُؤُوسِ ٱلشَّعْبِ وَعَلِّقْهُمْ لِلرَّبِّ مُقَابِلَ ٱلشَّمْسِ، فَيَرْتَدَّ حُمُوُّ غَضَبِ ٱلرَّبِّ عَنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ».

And the Lord said to Moses, Take all the princes of the people, and make them examples [of judgment] for the Lord in the face of the sun, and the anger of the Lord shall be turned away from Israel.

٥ 5 فَقَالَ مُوسَى لِقُضَاةِ إِسْرَائِيلَ: «ٱقْتُلُوا كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ قَوْمَهُ ٱلْمُتَعَلِّقِينَ بِبَعْلِ فَغُورَ».

And Moses said to the tribes of Israel, Slay ye every one his friend that is consecrated to Beel-phegor.

٦ 6 وَإِذَا رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ جَاءَ وَقَدَّمَ إِلَى إِخْوَتِهِ ٱلْمِدْيَانِيَّةَ، أَمَامَ عَيْنَيْ مُوسَى وَأَعْيُنِ كُلِّ جَمَاعَةِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَهُمْ بَاكُونَ لَدَى بَابِ خَيْمَةِ ٱلِٱجْتِمَاعِ.

And, behold, a man of the children of Israel came and brought his brother to a Madianitish woman before Moses, and before all the congregation of the children of Israel; and they were weeping at the door of the tabernacle of witness.

٧ 7 فَلَمَّا رَأَى ذَلِكَ فِينْحَاسُ بْنُ أَلِعَازَارَ بْنِ هَارُونَ ٱلْكَاهِنِ، قَامَ مِنْ وَسَطِ ٱلْجَمَاعَةِ وَأَخَذَ رُمْحًا بِيَدِهِ،

And Phinees the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw it, and rose out of the midst of the congregation, and took a javelin in his hand,

٨ 8 وَدَخَلَ وَرَاءَ ٱلرَّجُلِ ٱلْإِسْرَائِيلِيِّ إِلَى ٱلْقُبَّةِ وَطَعَنَ كِلَيْهِمَا، ٱلرَّجُلَ ٱلْإِسْرَائِيلِيَّ وَٱلْمَرْأَةَ فِي بَطْنِهَا. فَٱمْتَنَعَ ٱلْوَبَأُ عَنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ.

and went in after the Israelitish man into the chamber, and pierced them both through, both the Israelitish man, and the woman through her womb; and the plague was stayed from the children of Israel.

٩ 9 وَكَانَ ٱلَّذِينَ مَاتُوا بِٱلْوَبَإِ أَرْبَعَةً وَعِشْرِينَ أَلْفًا.

And those that died in the plague were four and twenty thousand.

١٠ 10 فَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى قَائِلًا:

And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

١١ 11 «فِينْحَاسُ بْنُ أَلِعَازَارَ بْنِ هَارُونَ ٱلْكَاهِنِ قَدْ رَدَّ سَخَطِي عَنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ بِكَوْنِهِ غَارَ غَيْرَتِي فِي وَسَطِهِمْ حَتَّى لَمْ أُفْنِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ بِغَيْرَتِي.

Phinees the son of Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest has caused my wrath to cease from the children of Israel, when I was exceedingly jealous among them, and I did not consume the children of Israel in my jealousy.

١٢ 12 لِذَلِكَ قُلْ: هَأَنَذَا أُعْطِيهِ مِيثَاقِي مِيثَاقَ ٱلسَّلَامِ،

Thus do thou say [to him], Behold, I give him a covenant of peace:

١٣ 13 فَيَكُونُ لَهُ وَلِنَسْلِهِ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ مِيثَاقَ كَهَنُوتٍ أَبَدِيٍّ، لِأَجْلِ أَنَّهُ غَارَ لِلهِ وَكَفَّرَ عَنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ».

and he and his seed after him shall have a perpetual covenant of priesthood, because he was zealous for his God, and made atonement for the children of Israel.

١٤ 14 وَكَانَ ٱسْمُ ٱلرَّجُلِ ٱلْإِسْرَائِيلِيِّ ٱلْمَقْتُولِ ٱلَّذِي قُتِلَ مَعَ ٱلْمِدْيَانِيَّةِ، زِمْرِيَ بْنَ سَالُو، رَئِيسَ بَيْتِ أَبٍ مِنَ ٱلشِّمْعُونِيِّينَ.

Now the name of the smitten Israelitish man, who was smitten with the Madianitish woman, [was] Zambri son of Salmon, prince of a house of the tribe of Symeon.

١٥ 15 وَٱسْمُ ٱلْمَرْأَةِ ٱلْمِدْيَانِيَّةِ ٱلْمَقْتُولَةِ كُزْبِيَ بِنْتَ صُورٍ، هُوَ رَئِيسُ قَبَائِلِ بَيْتِ أَبٍ فِي مِدْيَانَ.

And the name of the Madianitish woman who was smitten, [was] Chasbi, daughter of Sur, a prince of the nation of Ommoth: it is a chief house among the people of Madiam.

١٦ 16 ثُمَّ كَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى قَائِلًا:

And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, Speak to the children of Israel, saying,

١٧ 17 «ضَايِقُوا ٱلْمِدْيَانِيِّينَ وَٱضْرِبُوهُمْ،

Plague the Madianites as enemies, and smite them,

١٨ 18 لِأَنَّهُمْ ضَايَقُوكُمْ بِمَكَايِدِهِمِ ٱلَّتِي كَادُوكُمْ بِهَا فِي أَمْرِ فَغُورَ وَأَمْرِ كُزْبِي أُخْتِهِمْ بِنْتِ رَئِيسٍ لِمِدْيَانَ، ٱلَّتِي قُتِلَتْ يَوْمَ ٱلْوَبَإِ بِسَبَبِ فَغُورَ».

for they are enemies to you by the treachery wherein they ensnare you through Phogor, and through Chasbi their sister, daughter of a prince of Madiam, who was smitten in the day of the plague because of Phogor.
