4 Mosebog 25
1 Og Israel boede i Sittim, og Folket begyndte at bedrive Hor med Moabiternes Døtre.
And Israel abode in Shittim, and the people began to commit harlotry with the daughters of Moab.
2 Og de indbøde Folket til deres Guders Ofre; og Folket aad, og de tilbade deres Guder.
And they called the people to the sacrifices of their gods: and the people ate, and bowed down to their gods.
3 Og Israel lod sig koble til Baal-Peor; da optændtes Herrens Vrede imod Israel.
And Israel joined himself to Baalpeor: and the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel.
4 Og Herren sagde til Mose: Hent alle de Øverste for Folket og lad hine ophænge for Herren imod Solen; saa skal Herrens brændende Vrede vendes fra Israel.
And the LORD said to Moses, Take all the heads of the people, and hang them up before the LORD before the sun, that the fierce anger of the LORD may be turned away from Israel.
5 Og Mose sagde til Israels Dommere: Hver ihjelslaa sine Folk, som have ladet sig koble til Baal-Peor.
And Moses said to the judges of Israel, Slay ye every one his men that were joined to Baalpeor.
6 Og se, en Mand af Israels Børn kom og førte en midianitisk Kvinde frem til sine Brødre, for Mose Øjne og for al Israels Børns Menigheds Øjne; og disse græd ved Forsamlingens Pauluns Dør.
And, behold, one of the children of Israel came and brought to his brethren a Midianitish woman in the sight of Moses, and in the sight of all the congregation of the children of Israel, who were weeping before the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
7 Og Pinehas, en Søn af Eleasar, der var en Søn af Præsten Aron, saa det; og han stod op midt i Menigheden og tog et Spyd i sin Haand.
And when Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw it, he rose from among the congregation, and took a javelin in his hand;
8 Og han gik ind efter den israelitiske Mand i Horekippen og igennemstak dem begge, nemlig den israelitiske Mand og Kvinden, gennem hendes Liv. Da aflod Plagen fra Israels Børn.
And he went after the man of Israel into the tent, and thrust both of them through, the man of Israel, and the woman through her belly. So the plague was stayed from the children of Israel.
9 Og de, som døde i denne Plage, vare fire og tyve Tusinde.
And those that died in the plague were twenty and four thousand.
10 Og Herren talede til Mose og sagde:
And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
11 Pinehas, en Søn af Eleasar, der var en Søn af Præsten Aron, har vendt min Vrede fra Israels Børn, idet han var nidkær med min Nidkærhed midt iblandt dem, saa at jeg ikke har gjort Ende paa Israels Børn i min Nidkærhed.
Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, hath turned my wrath away from the children of Israel, while he was zealous for my sake among them, that I consumed not the children of Israel in my jealousy.
12 Derfor sig: Se, jeg gør med ham min Fredspagt.
Therefore say, Behold, I give to him my covenant of peace:
13 Og han og hans Sæd efter ham skal have et evigt Præstedømmes Pagt, fordi han var nidkær for sin Gud og gjorde Forligede for Israels Børn.
And he shall have it, and his seed after him, even the covenant of an everlasting priesthood; because he was zealous for his God, and made an atonement for the children of Israel.
14 Men Navnet paa den slagne israelitiske Mand, som blev slagen tillige med den midianitiske Kvinde, var Simri, Salu Søn, en Fyrste for et Fædrenehus iblandt Simeoniterne.
Now the name of the Israelite that was slain, even that was slain with the Midianitish woman, was Zimri, the son of Salu, a prince of a chief house among the Simeonites.
15 Og Navnet paa den slagne midianitiske Kvinde var Kosbi, Zurs Datter, han var en Øverste for et Fædrenehuses Folk iblandt Midianiterne.
And the name of the Midianitish woman that was slain was Cozbi, the daughter of Zur; he was head over a people, and of a chief house in Midian.
16 Og Herren talede til Mose og sagde:
And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
17 Træng Midianiterne, og I skulle slaa dem;
Distress the Midianites, and smite them:
18 thi de trængte eder med deres Træskhed, idet de handlede træskeligen imod eder i den Sag med Peor og med Kosbi, den midianitiske Fyrstes Datter, deres Søster, som blev slagen paa Plagens Dag, for Peors Skyld.
For they distress you with their wiles, by which they have beguiled you in the matter of Peor, and in the matter of Cozbi, the daughter of a prince of Midian, their sister, who was slain in the day of the plague for Peor’s sake.
