< Numbers 25 >
1 Nowe whiles Israel abode in Shittim, the people began to commit whoredome with the daughters of Moab:
Sementara bangsa Israel tinggal di Lembah Sitim, orang-orang lelaki mereka mulai berzinah dengan wanita-wanita Moab yang ada di situ.
2 Which called the people vnto the sacrifice of their gods, and the people ate, and bowed downe to their gods.
Wanita-wanita itu mengajak mereka ke pesta-pesta kurban untuk menghormati ilah mereka. Orang Israel juga ikut makan kurban itu dan menyembah ilah orang Moab.
3 And Israel coupled himselfe vnto Baal Peor: wherefore the wrath of the Lord was kindled against Israel:
Karena orang Israel menyembah Baal di Peor, TUHAN marah kepada mereka dan berkata kepada Musa,
4 And the Lord sayde vnto Moses, Take all the heades of the people, and hang them vp before the Lord against ye sunne, that the indignation of the Lords wrath may be turned from Israel.
"Tangkaplah semua orang yang mengepalai bangsa itu dan bunuhlah mereka di depan umum sebagai pelaksanaan perintah-Ku, supaya Aku tidak marah lagi kepada bangsa itu."
5 Then Moses sayd vnto the Iudges of Israel, Euery one slay his men that were ioyned vnto Baal Peor.
Kemudian Musa berkata kepada hakim-hakim Israel, "Kamu masing-masing harus membunuh semua orang dalam sukumu yang telah menyembah Baal di Peor."
6 And behold, one of the children of Israel came and brought vnto his brethren a Midianitish woman in the sight of Moses, and in the sight of all the Congregation of the children of Israel, who wept before the doore of the Tabernacle of the Congregation.
Ketika Musa dan seluruh umat sedang meratap di pintu Kemah TUHAN, mereka melihat seorang Israel membawa seorang wanita Midian masuk ke dalam kemahnya.
7 And when Phinehas the sonne of Eleazar the sonne of Aaron the Priest sawe it, hee rose vp from the middes of the Congregation, and tooke a speare in his hand,
Waktu Pinehas, anak Eleazar, cucu Imam Harun melihat hal itu, ia bangkit dan meninggalkan perkumpulan itu. Diambilnya sebuah tombak
8 And followed ye man of Israel into the tent, and thrust them both through: to wit, the man of Israel, and the woman, through her belly: so the plague ceased from the children of Israel.
lalu dikejarnya laki-laki dan wanita itu ke dalam kemah. Kedua orang itu ditikamnya dengan tombak itu maka berhentilah bencana yang sedang berkecamuk di Israel itu.
9 And there died in that plague, foure and twentie thousand.
Tetapi sementara itu yang mati sudah ada 24.000 orang.
10 Then the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,
Lalu TUHAN berkata kepada Musa,
11 Phinehas the sonne of Eleazar, the sonne of Aaron the Priest, hath turned mine anger away from the children of Israel, while hee was zealous for my sake among them: therefore I haue not consumed the children of Israel in my ielousie.
"Pinehas anak Eleazar, cucu Imam Harun, dengan giat membela kehormatan-Ku di tengah-tengah orang Israel, sehingga kemarahan-Ku reda dan Aku tidak jadi membinasakan bangsa itu.
12 Wherefore say to him, Beholde, I giue vnto him my couenant of peace,
Jadi katakanlah kepada Pinehas bahwa Aku membuat suatu perjanjian dengan dia.
13 And he shall haue it, and his seede after him, euen the couenant of the priestes office for euer, because he was zealous for his God, and hath made an atonement for the children of Israel.
Dia dan keturunannya Kutetapkan sebagai imam untuk selama-lamanya, karena dia dengan begitu giat telah membela Aku, Allahnya, dan telah mengadakan perdamaian bagi dosa orang Israel."
14 And the name of the Israelite thus slayne, which was killed with the Midianitish woman, was Zimri the sonne of Salu, prince of the familie of the Simeonites.
Orang Israel yang dibunuh bersama wanita Midian itu bernama Zimri, anak Salu, kepala suatu keluarga dari suku Simeon.
15 And the name of the Midianitish woman, that was slayne, was Cozbi the daughter of Zur, who was head ouer the people of his fathers house in Midian.
Wanita itu bernama Kozbi; ia anak Zur, seorang kepala kaum di Midian.
16 Againe ye Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,
TUHAN memberi perintah ini kepada Musa,
17 Vexe the Midianites, and smite them:
"Lawanlah orang Midian, dan binasakanlah mereka
18 For they trouble you with their wiles, wherewith they haue beguiled you as concerning Peor, and as concerning their sister Cozbi ye daughter of a prince of Midian, which was slayne in the day of the plague because of Peor.
karena kejahatan yang telah mereka rencanakan terhadap kamu di Peor, dan karena Kozbi anak seorang kepala kaum di Midian. Kozbi itu wanita yang mati dibunuh waktu terjadi bencana karena peristiwa di Peor."
