< 4 Mosebog 25 >

1 Israeliterne slog sig derpå ned i Sjitim. Men Folket begyndte at bedrive Hor med de moabitiske Kvinder;
Nowe whiles Israel abode in Shittim, the people began to commit whoredome with the daughters of Moab:
2 og da de indbød Folket til deres Guders Slagtofre, spiste Folket deraf og tilbad deres Guder.
Which called the people vnto the sacrifice of their gods, and the people ate, and bowed downe to their gods.
3 Og Israel holdt til med Bål Peor; derover blussede HERRENs Vrede op mod Israel,
And Israel coupled himselfe vnto Baal Peor: wherefore the wrath of the Lord 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 the Lord sayde vnto Moses, Take all the heades of the people, and hang them vp before the Lord against ye sunne, that the indignation of the Lords wrath may be turned 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!"
Then Moses sayd vnto the Iudges of Israel, Euery one slay his men that were ioyned vnto 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 children of Israel came and brought vnto his brethren a Midianitish woman in the sight of Moses, and in the sight of all the Congregation of the children of Israel, who wept before the doore of the Tabernacle of the Congregation.
7 Da nu Pinehas, Præsten Arons Søn Eleazars Søn, så det, trådte han frem af Menighedens Midte, greb et Spyd,
And when Phinehas the sonne of Eleazar the sonne of Aaron the Priest sawe it, hee rose vp from the middes of the Congregation, and tooke a speare 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 followed ye man of Israel into the tent, and thrust them both through: to wit, the man of Israel, and the woman, through her belly: so the plague ceased from the children of Israel.
9 Men Tallet på dem, Plagen havde kostet Livet, løb op til 24000.
And there died in that plague, foure and twentie thousand.
10 Da talede HERREN således til Moses:
Then the Lord spake vnto 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 sonne of Eleazar, the sonne of Aaron the Priest, hath turned mine anger away from the children of Israel, while hee was zealous for my sake among them: therefore I haue not consumed the children of Israel in my ielousie.
12 Derfor skal du sige: Se, jeg giver ham min Fredspagt!
Wherefore say to him, Beholde, I giue vnto him my couenant 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 shall haue it, and his seede after him, euen the couenant of the priestes office for euer, because he was zealous for his God, and hath made an atonement for the children 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;
And the name of the Israelite thus slayne, which was killed with the Midianitish woman, was Zimri the sonne of Salu, prince of the familie of 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 Midianitish woman, that was slayne, was Cozbi the daughter of Zur, who was head ouer the people of his fathers house in Midian.
16 HERREN talede fremdeles til Moses og sagde:
Againe ye Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,
17 "Fald over Midjaniterne og slå dem;
Vexe 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 trouble you with their wiles, wherewith they haue beguiled you as concerning Peor, and as concerning their sister Cozbi ye daughter of a prince of Midian, which was slayne in the day of the plague because of Peor.
