4 Mosebog 25
1 Israeliterne slog sig derpå ned i Sjitim. Men Folket begyndte at bedrive Hor med de moabitiske Kvinder;
And Israel abode in Shittim. And the people began to play the harlot with the daughters of Moab,
2 og da de indbød Folket til deres Guders Slagtofre, spiste Folket deraf og tilbad deres Guder.
for they called the people to the sacrifices of their gods. And the people ate, and bowed down to their gods.
3 Og Israel holdt til med Bål Peor; derover blussede HERRENs Vrede op mod Israel,
And Israel joined himself to Baal-peor, and the anger of Jehovah was kindled against Israel.
4 og HERREN sagde til Moses: "Kald alle Folkets Overhoveder sammen og hæng dem op for HERREN under åben Himmel, for at HERRENs Vrede må vige fra Israel!"
And Jehovah said to Moses, Take all the chiefs of the people, and hang them up to Jehovah before the sun, that the fierce anger of Jehovah may turn away from Israel.
5 Og Moses sagde til Israeliternes Dommere: "Enhver af eder skal slå dem af sine Mænd ihjel, der har holdt til med Ba'al Peor!"
And Moses said to the judges of Israel, Kill ye every one his men who have joined themselves to Baal-peor.
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 Åbenbaringsteltet.
And, behold, one of the sons 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 sons of Israel, while they were weeping at the door of the tent of meeting.
7 Da nu Pinehas, Præsten Arons Søn Eleazars Søn, så det, trådte han frem af Menighedens Midte, greb et Spyd,
And when Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw it, he rose up from the midst of the congregation, and took a spear in his hand.
8 fulgte den israelitiske Mand ind i Sengekammeret og gennemborede dem begge, både den israelitiske Mand og Kvinden, hende gennem Underlivet. Da standsede Plagen blandt Israeliterne.
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 body. So the plague was stayed from the sons of Israel.
9 Men Tallet på dem, Plagen havde kostet Livet, løb op til 24000.
And those who died by the plague were twenty-four thousand.
10 Da talede HERREN således til Moses:
And Jehovah 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, så at jeg ikke tilintetgjorde Israeliterne i min Nidkærhed.
Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, has turned my wrath away from the sons of Israel, in that he was jealous with my jealousy among them, so that I did not consume the sons of Israel in my jealousy.
12 Derfor skal du sige: Se, jeg giver ham min Fredspagt!
Therefore say, Behold, I give to him my 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 it shall be to him, and to his seed after him, the covenant of an everlasting priesthood, because he was jealous for his God, and made atonement for the sons of Israel.
14 Den dræbte Israelit, han, der dræbtes sammenmed den midjanitiske kvinde, hed Zimri, Salus Søn, og var Øverste for et Fædrenehus blandt Simeoniterne;
Now the name of the man of Israel who was slain, who was slain with the Midianite woman, was Zimri, the son of Salu, a ruler of a fathers' house among the Simeonites.
15 og den dræbte midjanitiske Kvinde hed Hozbi og var en Datter af Zur, der var Stammehøvding for et Fædrenehus blandt Midjaniterne,
And 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 HERREN talede fremdeles til Moses og sagde:
And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
17 "Fald over Midjaniterne og slå dem;
Vex the Midianites, and smite them,
18 thi de faldt over eder med de Rænker, de spandt imod eder i den Sag med Peor og med Hozbi, den midjanitiske Høvdings Datter, deres Landsmandinde, der dræbtes, den Dag Plagen brød løs for Peors Skyld."
for they vex you with their wiles, with which they have beguiled you in the matter of Peor, and in the matter of Cozbi, the daughter of the ruler of Midian, their sister, who was slain on the day of the plague in the matter of Peor.
