民数记 25
1 以色列人住在什亭，百姓与摩押女子行起淫乱。
And Israel sojourned in Sattin, and the people profaned itself by going a-whoring after the daughters of Moab.
2 因为这女子叫百姓来，一同给她们的神献祭，百姓就吃她们的祭物，跪拜她们的神。
And they called them to the sacrifices of their idols; and the people ate of their sacrifices, and worshipped their idols.
3 以色列人与巴力·毗珥连合，耶和华的怒气就向以色列人发作。
And Israel consecrated themselves to Beel-phegor; and the Lord was very angry with Israel.
4 耶和华吩咐摩西说：“将百姓中所有的族长在我面前对着日头悬挂，使我向以色列人所发的怒气可以消了。”
And the Lord said to Moses, Take all the princes of the people, and make them examples [of judgement] for the Lord in the face of the sun, and the anger of the Lord shall be turned away from Israel.
5 于是摩西吩咐以色列的审判官说：“凡属你们的人，有与巴力·毗珥连合的，你们各人要把他们杀了。”
And Moses said to the tribes of Israel, Slay you every one his friend that is consecrated to Beel-phegor.
6 摩西和以色列全会众正在会幕门前哭泣的时候，谁知，有以色列中的一个人，当他们眼前，带着一个米甸女人到他弟兄那里去。
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.
7 祭司亚伦的孙子，以利亚撒的儿子非尼哈看见了，就从会中起来，手里拿着枪，
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,
8 跟随那以色列人进亭子里去，便将以色列人和那女人由腹中刺透。这样，在以色列人中瘟疫就止息了。
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.
9 那时遭瘟疫死的，有二万四千人。
And those that died in the plague were four and twenty thousand.
10 耶和华晓谕摩西说：
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
11 “祭司亚伦的孙子，以利亚撒的儿子非尼哈，使我向以色列人所发的怒消了；因他在他们中间，以我的忌邪为心，使我不在忌邪中把他们除灭。
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 amongst them, and I did not consume the children of Israel in my jealousy.
12 因此，你要说：‘我将我平安的约赐给他。
Thus do you say [to him], Behold, I give him a covenant of peace:
13 这约要给他和他的后裔，作为永远当祭司职任的约；因他为 神有忌邪的心，为以色列人赎罪。’”
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.
14 那与米甸女人一同被杀的以色列人，名叫心利，是撒路的儿子，是西缅一个宗族的首领。
Now the name of the struck Israelitish man, who was struck with the Madianitish woman, [was] Zambri son of Salmon, prince of a house of the tribe of Symeon.
15 那被杀的米甸女人，名叫哥斯比，是苏珥的女儿；这苏珥是米甸一个宗族的首领。
And the name of the Madianitish woman who was struck, [was] Chasbi, daughter of Sur, a prince of the nation of Ommoth: it is a chief house amongst the people of Madiam.
16 耶和华晓谕摩西说：
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, Speak to the children of Israel, saying,
17 “你要扰害米甸人，击杀他们；
Plague the Madianites as enemies, and strike them,
18 因为他们用诡计扰害你们，在毗珥的事上和他们的姊妹、米甸首领的女儿哥斯比的事上，用这诡计诱惑了你们；这哥斯比，当瘟疫流行的日子，因毗珥的事被杀了。”
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 struck in the day of the plague because of Phogor.
