Numbers 25
1 Now when Israel was living in Shittim the people became false to the Lord, doing evil with the daughters of Moab:
Sementara Israel tinggal di Sitim, mulailah bangsa itu berzinah dengan perempuan-perempuan Moab.
2 For they sent for the people to be present at the offerings made to their gods; and the people took part in their feasts and gave honour 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 So Israel had relations with the women of Moab in honour of the Baal of Peor: and the Lord was moved to wrath against Israel.
Ketika Israel berpasangan dengan Baal-Peor, bangkitlah murka TUHAN terhadap Israel;
4 Then the Lord said to Moses, Take all the chiefs of the people, hanging them up in the sun before the Lord, so that the wrath of the Lord may be turned 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 So Moses said to the judges of Israel, Let everyone put to death those of his men who have had relations with the women of Moab in honour of the Baal of Peor.
Lalu berkatalah Musa kepada hakim-hakim Israel: "Baiklah masing-masing kamu membunuh orang-orangnya yang telah berpasangan dengan Baal-Peor."
6 Then one of the children of Israel came to his brothers, taking with him a woman of Midian, before the eyes of Moses and all the meeting of the people, 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 And Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, seeing it, got up from among the people 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 And went after the man of Israel into the tent, driving the spear through the two of them, through the man of Israel and through the stomach of the woman. So the disease 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 But twenty-four thousand of them had come to their death by the disease.
Orang yang mati karena tulah itu ada dua puluh empat ribu orang banyaknya.
10 And the Lord said to Moses,
TUHAN berfirman kepada Musa:
11 Through Phinehas, and because of his passion for my honour, my wrath has been turned away from the children of Israel, so that I have not sent destruction on them all in my wrath.
"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 So say to them that I will make with him an agreement of peace:
Sebab itu katakanlah: Sesungguhnya Aku berikan kepadanya perjanjian keselamatan yang dari pada-Ku
13 And by this agreement, he and his sons after him have the right to be priests for ever; because, by his care for the honour of his God, he took away the sin of 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 man of Israel who was put to death with the woman of Midian was Zimri, the son of Salu, a chief of one of the families of 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 And the woman of Midian who was put to death was Cozbi, the daughter of Zur; he was the head of a family 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 Then the Lord said to Moses,
Kemudian berfirmanlah TUHAN kepada Musa:
17 Take up arms against the Midianites and overcome them;
"Lawanlah orang Midian itu, dan tewaskanlah mereka,
18 For they are a danger to you with their false ways, causing sin to come on you in the question of Peor, and because of Cozbi, their sister, the daughter of the chief of Midian, who was put to death at the time of the disease which came on you because 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."
