وَأَقَامَ الإِسْرَائِيلِيُّونَ فِي شِطِّيمَ، فَشَرَعَ الرِّجَالُ يَرْتَكِبُونَ الزِّنَى مَعَ الْمُوآبِيَّاتِ ١ 1
And Israel dwells in Shittim, and the people begin to go whoring to daughters of Moab,
اللَّوَاتِي أَغْوَيْنَ الشَّعْبَ لِحُضُورِ ذَبَائِحِ آلِهَتِهِنَّ وَالأَكْلِ مِنْهَا وَالسُّجُودِ لَهَا. ٢ 2
and they call for the people to the sacrifices of their gods, and the people eat and bow themselves to their gods,
فَاشْتَرَكَ الإِسْرَائِيلِيُّونَ فِي عِبَادَةِ بَعْلِ فَغُورَ. فَاحْتَدَمَ غَضَبُ الرَّبِّ عَلَيْهِمْ. ٣ 3
and Israel is joined to Ba‘al-Peor, and the anger of YHWH burns against Israel.
فَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «خُذْ جَمِيعَ قَادَةِ عَبَدَةِ الْبَعْلِ وَاصْلِبْهُمْ، وَعَلِّقْهُمْ تَحْتَ وَطْأَةِ حَرَارَةِ الشَّمْسِ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ، فَتَرْتَدَّ شِدَّةُ غَضَبِهِ عَنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ». ٤ 4
And YHWH says to Moses, “Take all the chiefs of the people and hang them before YHWH in sight of the sun; and the fierceness of the anger of YHWH turns back from Israel.”
فَقَالَ مُوسَى لِقُضَاةِ إِسْرَائِيلَ: «اقْتُلُوا كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْ قَوْمِكُمْ مِنَ الْمُتَعَلِّقِينَ بِعِبَادَةِ بَعْلِ فَغُورَ». ٥ 5
And Moses says to [the] judges of Israel, “Each slays his men who are joined to Ba‘al-Peor.”
وَإِذْ كَانَ مُوسَى وَسَائِرُ جَمَاعَةِ إِسْرَائِيلَ يَبْكُونَ عِنْدَ مَدْخَلِ خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ، أَقْبَلَ إِسْرَائِيلِيٌّ وَقَدَّمَ إِلَى إِخْوَتِهِ امْرَأَةً مِدْيَانِيَّةً عَلَى مَرْأَى مِنْهُمْ. ٦ 6
And behold, a man of the sons of Israel has come, and brings a Midianitess to his brothers before the eyes of Moses and before the eyes of all the congregation of the sons of Israel, who are weeping at the opening of the Tent of Meeting;
فَلَمَّا رَأَى فِينْحَاسُ بْنُ أَلِعَازَارَ بْنِ هَرُونَ ذَلِكَ، هَبَّ مِنْ بَيْنِ الْجَمَاعَةِ، وَتَنَاوَلَ رُمْحاً بِيَدِهِ، ٧ 7
and Phinehas, son of Eleazar, son of Aaron the priest, sees, and rises from the midst of the congregation, and takes a javelin in his hand,
وَتَبِعَ الإِسْرَائِيلِيَّ إِلَى الْخَيْمَةِ حَيْثُ طَعَنَهُمَا. فَاخْتَرَقَ الرُّمْحُ الرَّجُلَ الإِسْرَائِيلِيَّ وَبَطْنَ الْمَرأَةِ، فَكَفَّ الْوَبَأُ عَنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. ٨ 8
and goes in after the man of Israel to the hollow place, and pierces them both, the man of Israel and the woman—to her belly, and the plague is restrained from the sons of Israel;
وَكَانَ عَدَدُ الَّذِينَ مَاتُوا بِالْوَبَإِ أَرْبَعَةً وَعِشْرِينَ أَلْفاً. ٩ 9
and the dead by the plague are twenty-four thousand.
فَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: ١٠ 10
And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
«إِنَّ فِينْحَاسَ بْنَ أَلِعَازَارَ بْنِ هَرُونَ الْكَاهِنِ قَدْ رَدَّ غَضَبِي عَنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، إِذْ غَارَ غَيْرَتِي فِي وَسَطِهِمْ، فَلَمْ أَفْنِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ بِغَيْرَتِي. ١١ 11
“Phinehas, son of Eleazar, son of Aaron the priest, has 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.
لِذَلِكَ قُلْ لَهُ: هَأَنَذَا أَقْطَعُ مَعَهُ مِيثَاقَ سَلامٍ، ١٢ 12
Therefore say, Behold, I am giving My covenant of peace to him,
فَيَكُونُ لَهُ وَلِنَسْلِهِ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ مِيثَاقَ كَهَنُوتٍ أَبَدِيٍّ، لأَنَّهُ غَارَ للهِ وَكَفَّرَ عَنِ الإِسْرَائِيلِيِّينَ». ١٣ 13
and it has been to him and to his seed after him [for] a covenant of a continuous priesthood, because that he has been zealous for his God, and makes atonement for the sons of Israel.”
وَكَانَ اسْمُ الإِسْرَائِيلِيِّ الَّذِي قُتِلَ مَعَ الْمَرْأَةِ الْمِدْيَانِيَّةِ زِمْرِيَ بْنَ سَالُو، وَهُوَ أَحَدُ رُؤَسَاءِ عَائِلَةٍ مِنْ سِبْطِ شِمْعُونَ. ١٤ 14
And the name of the man of Israel who is struck, who has been struck with the Midianitess, [is] Zimri son of Salu, prince of the house of a father of the Simeonite;
أَمَّا الْمَرْأَةُ الْمِدْيَانِيَّةُ الْمَقْتُولَةُ فَكَانَ اسْمُهَا كُزْبِيَ بِنْتَ صُورٍ الَّذِي كَانَ رَئِيسَ قَبِيلَةٍ مِنْ قَبَائِلِ مِدْيَانَ. ١٥ 15
and the name of the woman who is struck, the Midianitess, [is] Cozbi daughter of Zur; he [is] head of peoples of a father’s house in Midian.
ثُمَّ قَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: ١٦ 16
And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
«أَسِيئُوا مُعَامَلَةَ الْمِدْيَانِيِّينَ وَأَهْلِكُوهُمْ، ١٧ 17
“Distress the Midianites, and you have struck them,
لأَنَّهُمْ ضَايَقُوكُمْ بِمَكَايِدِهِمِ الَّتِي احْتَالُوا بِها عَلَيْكُمْ بِشَأْنِ فَغُورَ، وَأُخْتِهِمْ كُزْبِي ابْنَةِ رَئِيسٍ لِمِدْيَانَ، الَّتِي قُتِلَتْ عِنْدَمَا تَفَشَّى الْوَبَأُ بِسَبَبِ عِبَادَةِ فَغُورَ». ١٨ 18
for they are adversaries to you with their frauds, [with] 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 struck in the day of the plague for the matter of Peor.”
