4 Mosebog 25
1 Israeliterne slog sig derpå ned i Sjitim. Men Folket begyndte at bedrive Hor med de moabitiske Kvinder;
And Israel remained among the acacias, —and the people began to go away unchastely unto the daughters of Moab;
2 og da de indbød Folket til deres Guders Slagtofre, spiste Folket deraf og tilbad deres Guder.
who invited the people unto the sacrifices of their gods, —so the people did eat, and did bow themselves down unto their gods.
3 Og Israel holdt til med Bål Peor; derover blussede HERRENs Vrede op mod Israel,
Thus Israel let himself be bound unto Baal-peor, and the anger of Yahweh kindled upon 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 Yahweh said unto Moses—Take all the heads of the people, and crucify them unto Yahweh. in the face of the sun, —that the heat of the anger of Yahweh 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 unto the judges of Israel, —Slay ye each one his men, who have let themselves he bound unto 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 lo! a man of the sons of Israel coming in, who brought near unto his brethren a Midianite woman, before the eyes of Moses, and before the eyes of all the assembly of the sons of Israel, when they were weeping at the entrance 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 Phinehas son of Eleazar, son of Aaron the priest saw it, so he rose up out of the midst of the assembly, 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 went in after the man of Israel into the pleasure-tent, and thrust both of them through, the man of Israel and the woman, in her parts of shame, —so the plague was restrained from against the sons of Israel.
9 Men Tallet på dem, Plagen havde kostet Livet, løb op til 24000.
Then was it found that they who had died by the plague were four and twenty thousand.
10 Da talede HERREN således til Moses:
Then spake Yahweh unto 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 son of Eleazar son of Aaron the priest, hath turned back my wrath from against the sons of Israel, in that he was jealous with my jealousy, in their midst, so that I made not an end of the sons of Israel. in my jealousy.
12 Derfor skal du sige: Se, jeg giver ham min Fredspagt!
Wherefore say, —Behold me! giving unto 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."
so shall it prove to be unto him and unto his seed after him, the covenant of our age-abiding priesthood, because he was jealous for his God, and did put a propitiatory-covering over 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 that was smitten, who was smitten with the Midianitish woman, was Zimri son of Salu, —prince of an ancestral house 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 woman who was smitten, the Midianitess, was Cozbi, daughter of Zur, —the head of his kindred, of an ancestral house in Midian, was he.
16 HERREN talede fremdeles til Moses og sagde:
And Yahweh spake unto Moses saying:
17 "Fald over Midjaniterne og slå dem;
Besiege the Midianites, —and ye shall 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, besiegers, were they unto you, with their wiles wherewith they beguiled you, over the matter of Peor, —and over he matter of Cozbi, daughter of a prince of Midian, their sister, who was smitten in the day of the plague, over the matter of Peor.
