Numbers 25
1 And Israel at that time abode in Settim, and the people committed fornication with the daughters of Moab,
Dok je Izrael boravio u Šitimu, narod se upusti u blud s Moapkama.
2 Who called them to their sacrifices. And they ate of them, and adored their gods.
One pozivahu narod na žrtvovanje svojim bogovima, a narod sudjelovaše u njihovim gozbama i klanjaše se njihovim bogovima.
3 And Israel was initiated to Beelphegor: upon which the Lord being angry,
Tako se Izrael osramoti s Baalom peorskim. I Jahve planu gnjevom na Izraela.
4 Said to Moses: Take all the princes of the people, and hang them up on gibbets against the sun: that my fury may be turned away from Israel.
“Pokupi sve narodne glavare”, reče Jahve Mojsiju. “Objesi ih Jahvi usred bijela dana da se Jahvin gnjev odvrati od Izraela.”
5 And Moses said to the judges of Israel: Let every man kill his neighbours, that have been initiated to Beelphegor.
Onda Mojsije rekne izraelskim sucima: “Neka svatko pobije one svoje ljude koji su se osramotili s Baalom peorskim.”
6 And behold one of the children of Israel went in before his brethren to a harlot of Madian, in the sight of Moses, and of all the children of Israel, who were weeping before the door of the tabernacle.
Baš tada neki Izraelac dođe i dovede k svojoj braći jednu Midjanku naočigled Mojsija i naočigled sve izraelske zajednice koja zaplaka na ulazu u Šator sastanka.
7 And when Phinees the son of Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest saw it, he rose up from the midst; of the multitude, and taking a dagger,
Kad to opazi Pinhas, sin Eleazara, sina svećenika Arona, ustade ispred zajednice: uze koplje u ruku
8 Went in after the Israelite into the brothel house, and thrust both of them through together, to wit, the man and the woman in the genital parts. And the scourge ceased from the children of Israel:
i pođe za Izraelcem u odaje i probode ih oboje, Izraelca i ženu; nju kroza slabine. Tako pomor Izraelaca prestade.
9 And there were slain four and twenty thousand men.
A onih koji su od pomora pomrli bilo je dvadeset i četiri tisuće.
10 And the Lord said to Moses:
Jahve reče Mojsiju:
11 Phinees the son of Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, hath turned away my wrath from the children of Israel: because he was moved with my zeal against them, that I myself might not destroy the children of Israel in my zeal.
“Pinhas, sin Eleazara, sina svećenika Arona, odvratio je moj gnjev od Izraelaca, obuzet među njima mojim revnovanjem. Zato u svome revnovanju nisam istrijebio izraelskoga naroda.
12 Therefore say to him: Behold I give him the peace of my covenant,
Kaži mu dakle: 'S njime, evo, sklapam savez mira.
13 And the covenant of the priesthood for ever shall be both to him and his seed, because he hath been zealous for his God, and hath made atonement for the wickedness of the children of Israel.
Neka to bude za nj i njegove potomke poslije njega savez vječnoga svećeništva, jer je revnovao za svoga Boga i izvršio pomirenje za izraelski narod.'”
14 And the name of the Israelite, was slain with the woman of Madian, was Zambri the son of Salu, a prince the kindred and tribe of Simeon.
Ime Izraelcu koji je bio ubijen - onome što je ubijen s Midjankom - bijaše Zimri. Bio je sin Salua, glavara jedne od Šimunovih porodica.
15 And the Madianite woman, that was slain with him, was called Cozbi the daughter of Sur, a most noble prince among the Madianites.
A ime ubijene žene Midjanke bijaše Kozbi. Bila je kći Surova. Sur je bio glavar jednog plemena, jedne porodice u Midjanu.
16 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
Jahve reče Mojsiju:
17 Let the Madianites find you enemies, and slay you them:
“Navali na Midjance i potuci ih,
18 Because they also have acted like enemies against you, and have guilefully deceived you by the idol Phogor, and Cozbi their sister, a daughter of a prince of Madian, who was slain in the day the plague for the sacrilege of Phogor.
jer su i oni navaljivali na vas svojim lukavštinama kad su lukavo radili protiv vas u slučaju Peora i svoje sestre Kozbi, kćeri glavara midjanskoga, koja je zaglavila u vrijeme pomora nastalog zbog Peora.”
