Numbers 25
1 Israel stayed in Shittim; and the people began to play the prostitute with the daughters of Moab;
Sementara Israel tinggal di Sitim, mulailah bangsa itu berzinah dengan perempuan-perempuan Moab.
2 for they called the people to the sacrifices of their gods. The people ate and bowed down to their gods.
Perempuan-perempuan ini mengajak bangsa itu ke korban sembelihan bagi allah mereka, lalu bangsa itu turut makan dari korban itu dan menyembah allah orang-orang itu.
3 Israel joined himself to Baal Peor, and the LORD’s anger burned against Israel.
Ketika Israel berpasangan dengan Baal-Peor, bangkitlah murka TUHAN terhadap Israel;
4 The LORD said to Moses, “Take all the chiefs of the people, and hang them up to the LORD before the sun, that the fierce anger of the LORD may turn away from Israel.”
lalu berfirmanlah TUHAN kepada Musa: "Tangkaplah semua orang yang mengepalai bangsa itu dan gantunglah mereka di hadapan TUHAN di tempat terang, supaya murka TUHAN yang bernyala-nyala itu surut dari pada Israel."
5 Moses said to the judges of Israel, “Everyone kill his men who have joined themselves to Baal Peor.”
Lalu berkatalah Musa kepada hakim-hakim Israel: "Baiklah masing-masing kamu membunuh orang-orangnya yang telah berpasangan dengan Baal-Peor."
6 Behold, one of the children 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 children of Israel, while they were weeping at the door of the Tent of Meeting.
Kebetulan datanglah salah seorang Israel membawa seorang perempuan Midian kepada sanak saudaranya dengan dilihat Musa dan segenap umat Israel yang sedang bertangis-tangisan di depan pintu Kemah Pertemuan.
7 When Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw it, he rose up from the middle of the congregation, and took a spear in his hand.
Ketika hal itu dilihat oleh Pinehas, anak Eleazar, anak imam Harun, bangunlah ia dari tengah-tengah umat itu dan mengambil sebuah tombak di tangannya,
8 He went after the man of Israel into the pavilion, and thrust both of them through, the man of Israel, and the woman through her body. So the plague was stopped among the children of Israel.
mengejar orang Israel itu sampai ke ruang tengah, dan menikam mereka berdua, yakni orang Israel dan perempuan itu, pada perutnya. Maka berhentilah tulah itu menimpa orang Israel.
9 Those who died by the plague were twenty-four thousand.
Orang yang mati karena tulah itu ada dua puluh empat ribu orang banyaknya.
10 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
TUHAN berfirman kepada Musa:
11 “Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, has turned my wrath away from the children of Israel, in that he was jealous with my jealousy among them, so that I did not consume the children of Israel in my jealousy.
"Pinehas, anak Eleazar, anak imam Harun, telah menyurutkan murka-Ku dari pada orang Israel, oleh karena ia begitu giat membela kehormatan-Ku di tengah-tengah mereka, sehingga tidaklah Kuhabisi orang Israel dalam cemburu-Ku.
12 Therefore say, ‘Behold, I give to him my covenant of peace.
Sebab itu katakanlah: Sesungguhnya Aku berikan kepadanya perjanjian keselamatan yang dari pada-Ku
13 It shall be to him, and to his offspring after him, the covenant of an everlasting priesthood, because he was jealous for his God, and made atonement for the children of Israel.’”
untuk menjadi perjanjian mengenai keimaman selama-lamanya bagi dia dan bagi keturunannya, karena ia telah begitu giat membela Allahnya dan telah mengadakan pendamaian bagi orang Israel."
14 Now the name of the man of Israel that was slain, who was slain with the Midianite woman, was Zimri, the son of Salu, a prince of a fathers’ house among the Simeonites.
Nama orang Israel yang mati terbunuh bersama-sama dengan perempuan Midian itu ialah Zimri bin Salu, pemimpin salah satu puak orang Simeon,
15 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.
dan nama perempuan Midian yang mati terbunuh itu ialah Kozbi binti Zur; Zur itu adalah seorang kepala kaum--yaitu puak--di Midian.
16 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Kemudian berfirmanlah TUHAN kepada Musa:
17 “Harass the Midianites, and strike them;
"Lawanlah orang Midian itu, dan tewaskanlah mereka,
18 for they harassed you with their wiles, wherein they have deceived you in the matter of Peor, and in the incident regarding Cozbi, the daughter of the prince of Midian, their sister, who was slain on the day of the plague in the matter of Peor.”
sebab mereka telah melawan kamu dengan daya upaya yang dirancang mereka terhadap kamu dalam hal Peor dan dalam hal Kozbi, saudara mereka, yakni anak perempuan seorang pemimpin Midian; Kozbi itu mati terbunuh pada waktu turunnya tulah karena Peor itu."
