1 İsrail xalqı Şittimdə yaşayarkən kişiləri Moav qızları ilə zina etməyə başladı.
While the Israelis were camped at a place called Acacia [Grove], some of the men caused themselves to become unacceptable to God by having sex with some of the women of the Moab [people-group who lived in that area].
2 Bu qadınlar allahlarına qurban kəsəndə İsrail xalqını da dəvət edirdilər. İsrail xalqı qurban ətindən yedi və onların allahlarına səcdə etdi.
Then those women invited the men to come when the sacrifices were being offered to their gods. The Israeli men [accepted]. They went to the feasts with the women and worshiped the gods of the Moab people-group.
3 İsrail övladları Peordakı Baal bütünə səcdə edənlərə qoşuldular və Rəbbin qəzəbi İsraillilərə qarşı alovlandı.
By doing that, those Israeli people joined the women in worshiping the god Baal [add] the Moab people-group thought lived on Peor Mountain. That caused Yahweh to become very angry with his people.
4 Rəbb Musaya dedi: «Xalqın bütün başçılarını götürüb gündüz Rəbbin önündə dar ağacından asdır. Beləliklə, qoy Rəbbin qızğın qəzəbi İsraildən dönsün».
Yahweh said this to Moses/me: “Seize all the leaders of those men who are doing this and execute them while I am watching. Do that in the daytime. After you do that, I will no longer be angry with the Israeli people.”
5 Buna görə Musa İsrailin hakimlərinə dedi: «Hər biriniz öz adamlarınız arasında Peordakı Baala səcdə edənlərə qoşulanları öldürün».
So Moses/I said to the other Israeli leaders, “Each of you must execute your men who have joined [others] in worshiping Baal.”
6 Bu an İsrail övladlarından olan bir nəfər gəldi, Musanın və Hüzur çadırının girişində ağlaşan bütün İsrail övladlarının icmasının gözü önündə qohumlarına Midyanlı bir qadın gətirdi.
[But later], while Moses/I and many [HYP] other people were crying at the entrance of the Sacred Tent, while they/we were watching, one of the Israeli men brought a woman from the Midian people-group into his tent [and started to have sex with her].
7 Kahin Harun oğlu Eleazar oğlu Pinxas bunu görən kimi icmanın arasından qalxdı və əlinə bir nizə götürdü.
When Phinehas, who was the grandson of Aaron, saw that, he grabbed a spear
8 İsrailli adamın ardınca çadırın içinə girdi, nizəni İsrailli kişinin və qadının qarnına soxdu. Beləliklə, İsrail övladlarını qıran vəba dayandı.
and rushed into the man’s tent. He thrust the spear completely through the man’s body and into the woman’s belly [and killed both of them]. When he did that, the (plague/serious illness) [that had started to strike the Israelis] stopped.
9 Vəbadan ölənlərin sayı iyirmi dörd min nəfər idi.
But 24,000 people had already died [from that plague].
10 Rəbb Musaya dedi:
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,
11 «Kahin Harun oğlu Eleazar oğlu Pinxas Mənim qəzəbimi İsrail övladlarından döndərdi, çünki aralarında yalnız o Mənim qeyrətimi çəkdi. Beləliklə, Mən qeyrətimə görə İsrail övladlarını məhv etmədim.
“Phinehas has caused me to stop being angry with the Israeli people, by being as eager as I am [to stop this sinful behavior]. I was ready to get rid of all the Israeli people because I was extremely angry, but Phinehas has prevented me from doing that.
12 Buna görə söylə: “Budur, Mən onunla sülh əhdi bağlayıram.
Now tell him that I am making a special peace agreement with him.
13 Bu onun üçün və ondan sonra gələn nəsli üçün əbədi kahinlik əhdi olacaq. Çünki Allahının qeyrətini çəkib İsrail övladları üçün kəffarə etdi”».
In this agreement, I am promising to give to him and to his descendants the right/authority to be priests. I am doing this because [he showed that] he was very eager to honor me, his God, by stopping this sinful behavior. He has caused the Israeli people to become acceptable to me again by causing them to be forgiven for their sin.”
14 Midyanlı qadınla birgə öldürülən İsrailli kişinin adı Salu oğlu Zimri idi. O, Şimeonlular arasında bir nəsil rəhbəri idi.
The Israeli man who was killed with the woman of the Moab people-group was named Zimri. He was the son of Salu, who was the leader of a family from the tribe of Simeon.
15 Öldürülən Midyanlı qadının adı Sur qızı Kozbi idi. Sur Midyanda bir nəsil başçısı idi.
The woman’s name was Cozbi. She was the daughter of Zur, who was the leader of one of the clans of the Midian people-group.
16 Rəbb Musaya dedi:
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,
17 «Midyanlıları düşmən hesab edin və onları qırın.
“[Take your men and] attack the Midian people-group and kill them.
18 Çünki onlar hiylə ilə sizə düşmənçilik etdilər. Peor hadisəsində və Peorda baş verən vəba günündə öldürülən bacıları, Midyanlı bəyin qızı Kozbi məsələsində sizi aldatdılar».
They have become your enemies, because they tricked you Israeli people and induced/persuaded many of you to worship Baal, and because [one of your men had sex with] Cozbi, who was the daughter of a leader of the Midian people-group. She was killed at the time the plague [started because the people sinned] at Peor [Mountain].”
