Numbers 25
1 And Israel at that time abode in Settim, and the people committed fornication with the daughters of Moab,
Izrael je prebival v Šitímu in ljudstvo se je začelo vlačugati z moábskimi hčerami.
2 Who called them to their sacrifices. And they ate of them, and adored their gods.
Ljudstvo so poklicali k žrtvovanjem njihovih bogov, in ljudstvo je jedlo in se priklonilo njihovim bogovom.
3 And Israel was initiated to Beelphegor: upon which the Lord being angry,
Izrael se je pridružil Báal Peórju in Gospodova jeza je bila vžgana zoper Izrael.
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.
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 And Moses said to the judges of Israel: Let every man kill his neighbours, that have been initiated to Beelphegor.
Mojzes je rekel Izraelovim sodnikom: »Vsak naj ubije svoje može, ki so bili pridruženi Báal Peórju.«
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.
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 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,
Ko je Pinhás, sin Eleazarja, sin duhovnika Arona, to videl, je vstal izmed skupnosti in v svojo roko vzel kopje
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:
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 And there were slain four and twenty thousand men.
Teh, ki so v kugi umrli, je bilo štiriindvajset tisoč.
10 And the Lord said to Moses:
Gospod je spregovoril Mojzesu, rekoč:
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.
»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 Therefore say to him: Behold I give him the peace of my covenant,
Zato reci: ›Glej, dam mu svojo zavezo miru
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.
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 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.
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 Madianite woman, that was slain with him, was called Cozbi the daughter of Sur, a most noble prince among the Madianites.
Ime midjánske ženske, ki je bila umorjena, je bilo Kozbí, hči Cura. On je bil poglavar nad ljudstvom in vodja hiše v Midjánu.
16 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
Gospod je spregovoril Mojzesu, rekoč:
17 Let the Madianites find you enemies, and slay you them:
»Jezite Midjánce in jih udarite,
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.
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.«
