Numbers 25
1 Now when Israel was living in Shittim the people became false to the Lord, doing evil with the daughters of Moab:
Izrael je prebival v Šitímu in ljudstvo se je začelo vlačugati z moábskimi hčerami.
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.
Ljudstvo so poklicali k žrtvovanjem njihovih bogov, in ljudstvo je jedlo in se priklonilo njihovim bogovom.
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.
Izrael se je pridružil Báal Peórju in Gospodova jeza je bila vžgana zoper Izrael.
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.
Gospod je rekel Mojzesu: »Vzemi vse poglavarje ljudstva in jih obesi pred Gospodom, nasproti soncu, da se bo kruta Gospodova jeza lahko odvrnila od Izraela.«
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.
Mojzes je rekel Izraelovim sodnikom: »Vsak naj ubije svoje može, ki so bili pridruženi Báal Peórju.«
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.
Glej, eden izmed Izraelovih otrok je prišel in k svojim bratom privedel midjánsko žensko pred očmi Mojzesa in pred očmi vse skupnosti Izraelovih otrok, ki so jokali pred vrati šotorskega svetišča skupnosti.
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,
Ko je Pinhás, sin Eleazarja, sin duhovnika Arona, to videl, je vstal izmed skupnosti in v svojo roko vzel kopje
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.
in odšel za Izraelovim možem v šotor in oba izmed njiju prebodel, Izraelovega moškega in žensko je prebodel skozi njen trebuh. Tako je bila kuga ustavljena pred Izraelovimi otroki.
9 But twenty-four thousand of them had come to their death by the disease.
Teh, ki so v kugi umrli, je bilo štiriindvajset tisoč.
10 And the Lord said to Moses,
Gospod je spregovoril Mojzesu, rekoč:
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.
»Pinhás, sin Eleazarja, sin duhovnika Arona, je moj bes odvrnil proč od Izraelovih otrok, medtem ko je bil med njimi goreč zaradi mene, da ne bi jaz v svoji ljubosumnosti použil Izraelovih otrok.
12 So say to them that I will make with him an agreement of peace:
Zato reci: ›Glej, dam mu svojo zavezo miru
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.
in imel jo bo in njegovo seme za njim, celó zavezo večnega duhovništva, ker je bil goreč za svojega Boga in opravil spravo za Izraelove otroke.‹«
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.
Torej ime Izraelca, ki je bil umorjen, torej tistega, ki je bil umorjen z Midjánko, je bilo Salújev sin Zimrí, princ glavne hiše med Simeonovci.
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.
Ime midjánske ženske, ki je bila umorjena, je bilo Kozbí, hči Cura. On je bil poglavar nad ljudstvom in vodja hiše v Midjánu.
16 Then the Lord said to Moses,
Gospod je spregovoril Mojzesu, rekoč:
17 Take up arms against the Midianites and overcome them;
»Jezite Midjánce in jih udarite,
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.
kajti jezili so vas s svojimi zvijačami, s katerimi so vas preslepili v zadevi Peórja in v zadevi Kozbí, hčere midjánskega princa, njihove sestre, ki je bila umorjena na dan nadloge zaradi Peórja.«
