Numbers 25
1 Nowe whiles Israel abode in Shittim, the people began to commit whoredome with the daughters of Moab:
Morabatur autem eo tempore Israel in Setim, et fornicatus est populus cum filiabus Moab,
2 Which called the people vnto the sacrifice of their gods, and the people ate, and bowed downe to their gods.
quae vocaverunt eos ad sacrificia sua. At ille comederunt et adoraverunt deos earum.
3 And Israel coupled himselfe vnto Baal Peor: wherefore the wrath of the Lord was kindled against Israel:
Initiatusque est Israel Beelphegor: et iratus Dominus,
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.
ait ad Moysen: Tolle cunctos principes populi, et suspende eos contra solem in patibulis: ut avertatur furor meus ab Israel.
5 Then Moses sayd vnto the Iudges of Israel, Euery one slay his men that were ioyned vnto Baal Peor.
Dixitque Moyses ad Iudices Israel: Occidat unusquisque proximos suos, qui initiati sunt Beelphegor.
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.
Et ecce unus de filiis Israel intravit coram fratribus suis ad scortum Madianitidem, vidente Moyse, et omni turba filiorum Israel, qui flebant ante fores tabernaculi.
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,
Quod cum vidisset Phinees filius Eleazari filii Aaron sacerdotis, surrexit de medio multitudinis, et arrepto pugione,
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.
ingressus est post virum Israelitem in lupanar, et perfodit ambos simul, virum scilicet et mulierem in locis genitalibus. Cessavitque plaga a filiis Israel:
9 And there died in that plague, foure and twentie thousand.
et occisi sunt vigintiquattuor millia hominum.
10 Then the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,
Dixitque Dominus ad Moysen:
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.
Phinees filius Eleazari filii Aaron sacerdotis avertit iram meam a filiis Israel: quia zelo meo commotus est contra eos, ut non ipse delerem filios Israel in zelo meo.
12 Wherefore say to him, Beholde, I giue vnto him my couenant of peace,
idcirco loquere ad eum: Ecce do ei pacem foederis mei,
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.
et erit tam ipsi quam semini eius pactum sacerdotii sempiternum, quia zelatus est pro Deo suo, et expiavit scelus filiorum 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.
Erat autem nomen viri Israelitae, qui occisus est cum Madianitide, Zambri filius Salu, dux de cognatione et tribu Simeonis.
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.
Porro mulier Madianitis, quae pariter interfecta est, vocabatur Cozbi filia Sur principis nobilissimi Madianitarum.
16 Againe ye Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,
Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:
17 Vexe the Midianites, and smite them:
Hostes vos sentiant Madianitae, et percutite eos:
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.
quia et ipsi hostiliter egerunt contra vos, et decepere insidiis per idolum Phogor, et Cozbi filiam ducis Madian sororem suam, quae percussa est in die plagae pro sacrilegio Phogor.
