4 Mosebog 25
1 Israeliterne slog sig derpaa ned i Sjittim. Men Folket begyndte at bedrive Hor med de moabitiske Kvinder;
And Israel sojourned in Sattin, and the people profaned itself by going a-whoring after the daughters of Moab.
2 og da de indbød Folket til deres Guders Slagtofre, spiste Folket deraf og tilbad deres Guder.
And they called them to the sacrifices of their idols; and the people ate of their sacrifices, and worshipped their idols.
3 Og Israel holdt til med Ba'al-Peor; derover blussede HERRENS Vrede op mod Israel,
And Israel consecrated themselves to Beel-phegor; and the Lord was very angry with Israel.
4 og HERREN sagde til Moses: »Kald alle Folkets Overhoveder sammen og hæng dem op for HERREN under aaben Himmel, for at HERRENS Vrede maa vige fra Israel!«
And the Lord said to Moses, Take all the princes of the people, and make them examples [of judgment] for the Lord in the face of the sun, and the anger of the Lord shall be turned away from Israel.
5 Og Moses sagde til Israeliternes Dommere: »Enhver af eder skal slaa dem af sine Mænd ihjel, der har holdt til med Ba'al-Peor!«
And Moses said to the tribes of Israel, Slay you every one his friend that is consecrated to Beel-phegor.
6 Og se, en af Israeliterne kom og førte en midjanitisk Kvinde hen til sine Landsmænd lige for Øjnene af Moses og hele Israeliternes Menighed, medens de stod og græd ved Indgangen til Aabenbaringsteltet.
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 Da nu Pinehas, Præsten Arons Søn Eleazars Søn, saa det, traadte han frem af Menighedens Midte, greb et Spyd,
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 fulgte den israelitiske Mand ind i Sengekammeret og gennemborede dem begge, baade den israelitiske Mand og Kvinden, hende gennem Underlivet. Da standsede Plagen blandt Israeliterne.
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 Men Tallet paa dem, Plagen havde kostet Livet, løb op til 24 000.
And those that died in the plague were four and twenty thousand.
10 Da talede HERREN saaledes til Moses:
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
11 »Pinehas, Præsten Arons Søn Eleazars Søn, har vendt min Vrede fra Israeliterne, idet han var nidkær iblandt dem med min Nidkærhed, saa at jeg ikke tilintetgjorde Israeliterne i min Nidkærhed.
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 among them, and I did not consume the children of Israel in my jealousy.
12 Derfor skal du sige: Se, jeg giver ham min Fredspagt!
Thus do you say [to him], Behold, I give him a covenant of peace:
13 Et evigt Præstedømmes Pagt skal blive hans og efter ham hans Efterkommeres Lod, til Løn for at han var nidkær for sin Gud og skaffede Israeliterne Soning.«
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 Den dræbte Israelit, han, der dræbtes sammen med den midjanitiske Kvinde, hed Zimri, Salus Søn, og var Øverste for et Fædrenehus blandt Simeoniterne;
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 og den dræbte midjanitiske Kvinde hed Kozbi og var en Datter af Zur, der var Stammehøvding for et Fædrenehus blandt Midjaniterne,
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 among the people of Madiam.
16 HERREN talede fremdeles til Moses og sagde:
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, Speak to the children of Israel, saying,
17 »Fald over Midjaniterne og slaa dem;
Plague the Madianites as enemies, and strike them,
18 thi de faldt over eder med de Rænker, de spandt imod eder i den Sag med Peor og med Kozbi, den midjanitiske Høvdings Datter, deres Landsmandinde, der dræbtes, den Dag Plagen brød løs for Peors Skyld.«
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.
