Brojevi 25
1 Dok je Izrael boravio u Šitimu, narod se upusti u blud s Moapkama.
Israel stayed in Shittim; and the people began to play the prostitute with the daughters of Moab;
2 One pozivahu narod na žrtvovanje svojim bogovima, a narod sudjelovaše u njihovim gozbama i klanjaše se njihovim bogovima.
for they called the people to the sacrifices of their gods. The people ate and bowed down to their gods.
3 Tako se Izrael osramoti s Baalom peorskim. I Jahve planu gnjevom na Izraela.
Israel joined himself to Baal Peor, and the LORD’s anger burned against Israel.
4 “Pokupi sve narodne glavare”, reče Jahve Mojsiju. “Objesi ih Jahvi usred bijela dana da se Jahvin gnjev odvrati od Izraela.”
The LORD said to Moses, “Take all the chiefs of the people, and hang them up to the LORD before the sun, that the fierce anger of the LORD may turn away from Israel.”
5 Onda Mojsije rekne izraelskim sucima: “Neka svatko pobije one svoje ljude koji su se osramotili s Baalom peorskim.”
Moses said to the judges of Israel, “Everyone kill his men who have joined themselves to Baal Peor.”
6 Baš tada neki Izraelac dođe i dovede k svojoj braći jednu Midjanku naočigled Mojsija i naočigled sve izraelske zajednice koja zaplaka na ulazu u Šator sastanka.
Behold, one of the children of Israel came and brought to his brothers a Midianite woman in the sight of Moses, and in the sight of all the congregation of the children of Israel, while they were weeping at the door of the Tent of Meeting.
7 Kad to opazi Pinhas, sin Eleazara, sina svećenika Arona, ustade ispred zajednice: uze koplje u ruku
When Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw it, he rose up from the middle of the congregation, and took a spear in his hand.
8 i pođe za Izraelcem u odaje i probode ih oboje, Izraelca i ženu; nju kroza slabine. Tako pomor Izraelaca prestade.
He went after the man of Israel into the pavilion, and thrust both of them through, the man of Israel, and the woman through her body. So the plague was stopped among the children of Israel.
9 A onih koji su od pomora pomrli bilo je dvadeset i četiri tisuće.
Those who died by the plague were twenty-four thousand.
10 Jahve reče Mojsiju:
The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
11 “Pinhas, sin Eleazara, sina svećenika Arona, odvratio je moj gnjev od Izraelaca, obuzet među njima mojim revnovanjem. Zato u svome revnovanju nisam istrijebio izraelskoga naroda.
“Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, has turned my wrath away from the children of Israel, in that he was jealous with my jealousy among them, so that I did not consume the children of Israel in my jealousy.
12 Kaži mu dakle: 'S njime, evo, sklapam savez mira.
Therefore say, ‘Behold, I give to him my covenant of peace.
13 Neka to bude za nj i njegove potomke poslije njega savez vječnoga svećeništva, jer je revnovao za svoga Boga i izvršio pomirenje za izraelski narod.'”
It shall be to him, and to his offspring after him, the covenant of an everlasting priesthood, because he was jealous for his God, and made atonement for the children of Israel.’”
14 Ime Izraelcu koji je bio ubijen - onome što je ubijen s Midjankom - bijaše Zimri. Bio je sin Salua, glavara jedne od Šimunovih porodica.
Now the name of the man of Israel that was slain, who was slain with the Midianite woman, was Zimri, the son of Salu, a prince of a fathers’ house among the Simeonites.
15 A ime ubijene žene Midjanke bijaše Kozbi. Bila je kći Surova. Sur je bio glavar jednog plemena, jedne porodice u Midjanu.
The name of the Midianite woman who was slain was Cozbi, the daughter of Zur. He was head of the people of a fathers’ house in Midian.
16 Jahve reče Mojsiju:
The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
17 “Navali na Midjance i potuci ih,
“Harass the Midianites, and strike them;
18 jer su i oni navaljivali na vas svojim lukavštinama kad su lukavo radili protiv vas u slučaju Peora i svoje sestre Kozbi, kćeri glavara midjanskoga, koja je zaglavila u vrijeme pomora nastalog zbog Peora.”
for they harassed you with their wiles, wherein they have deceived you in the matter of Peor, and in the incident regarding Cozbi, the daughter of the prince of Midian, their sister, who was slain on the day of the plague in the matter of Peor.”
