Numbers 25

1 And Israel abode in Shittim, and the people began to commit harlotry with the daughters of Moab.

١ وَأَقَامَ إِسْرَائِيلُ فِي شِطِّيمَ، وَٱبْتَدَأَ ٱلشَّعْبُ يَزْنُونَ مَعَ بَنَاتِ مُوآبَ.

2 And they called the people unto the sacrifices of their gods; and the people did eat, and bowed down to their gods.

٢ فَدَعَوْنَ ٱلشَّعْبَ إِلَى ذَبَائِحِ آلِهَتِهِنَّ، فَأَكَلَ ٱلشَّعْبُ وَسَجَدُوا لِآلِهَتِهِنَّ.

3 And Israel joined himself unto the Baal of Peor; and the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel.

٣ وَتَعَلَّقَ إِسْرَائِيلُ بِبَعْلِ فَغُورَ. فَحَمِيَ غَضَبُ ٱلرَّبِّ عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ.

4 And the LORD said unto Moses: 'Take all the chiefs of the people, and hang them up unto the LORD in face of the sun, that the fierce anger of the LORD may turn away from Israel.'

٤ فَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «خُذْ جَمِيعَ رُؤُوسِ ٱلشَّعْبِ وَعَلِّقْهُمْ لِلرَّبِّ مُقَابِلَ ٱلشَّمْسِ، فَيَرْتَدَّ حُمُوُّ غَضَبِ ٱلرَّبِّ عَنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ».

5 And Moses said unto the judges of Israel: 'Slay ye every one his men that have joined themselves unto the Baal of Peor.'

٥ فَقَالَ مُوسَى لِقُضَاةِ إِسْرَائِيلَ: «ٱقْتُلُوا كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ قَوْمَهُ ٱلْمُتَعَلِّقِينَ بِبَعْلِ فَغُورَ».

6 And, behold, one of the children of Israel came and brought unto his brethren a Midianitish woman in the sight of Moses, and in the sight of all the congregation of the children of Israel, while they were weeping at the door of the tent of meeting.

٦ وَإِذَا رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ جَاءَ وَقَدَّمَ إِلَى إِخْوَتِهِ ٱلْمِدْيَانِيَّةَ، أَمَامَ عَيْنَيْ مُوسَى وَأَعْيُنِ كُلِّ جَمَاعَةِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَهُمْ بَاكُونَ لَدَى بَابِ خَيْمَةِ ٱلِٱجْتِمَاعِ.

7 And when Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw it, he rose up from the midst of the congregation, and took a spear in his hand.

٧ فَلَمَّا رَأَى ذَلِكَ فِينْحَاسُ بْنُ أَلِعَازَارَ بْنِ هَارُونَ ٱلْكَاهِنِ، قَامَ مِنْ وَسَطِ ٱلْجَمَاعَةِ وَأَخَذَ رُمْحًا بِيَدِهِ،

8 And he went after the man of Israel into the chamber, and thrust both of them through, the man of Israel, and the woman through her belly. So the plague was stayed from the children of Israel.

٨ وَدَخَلَ وَرَاءَ ٱلرَّجُلِ ٱلْإِسْرَائِيلِيِّ إِلَى ٱلْقُبَّةِ وَطَعَنَ كِلَيْهِمَا، ٱلرَّجُلَ ٱلْإِسْرَائِيلِيَّ وَٱلْمَرْأَةَ فِي بَطْنِهَا. فَٱمْتَنَعَ ٱلْوَبَأُ عَنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ.

9 And those that died by the plague were twenty and four thousand.

٩ وَكَانَ ٱلَّذِينَ مَاتُوا بِٱلْوَبَإِ أَرْبَعَةً وَعِشْرِينَ أَلْفًا.

10 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:

١٠ فَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى قَائِلًا:

11 'Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, hath turned My wrath away from the children of Israel, in that he was very jealous for My sake among them, so that I consumed not the children of Israel in My jealousy.

١١ «فِينْحَاسُ بْنُ أَلِعَازَارَ بْنِ هَارُونَ ٱلْكَاهِنِ قَدْ رَدَّ سَخَطِي عَنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ بِكَوْنِهِ غَارَ غَيْرَتِي فِي وَسَطِهِمْ حَتَّى لَمْ أُفْنِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ بِغَيْرَتِي.

12 Wherefore say: Behold, I give unto him My covenant of peace;

١٢ لِذَلِكَ قُلْ: هَأَنَذَا أُعْطِيهِ مِيثَاقِي مِيثَاقَ ٱلسَّلَامِ،

13 and it shall be unto him, and to his seed after him, the covenant of an everlasting priesthood; because he was jealous for his God, and made atonement for the children of Israel.'

١٣ فَيَكُونُ لَهُ وَلِنَسْلِهِ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ مِيثَاقَ كَهَنُوتٍ أَبَدِيٍّ، لِأَجْلِ أَنَّهُ غَارَ لِلهِ وَكَفَّرَ عَنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ».

14 Now the name of the man of Israel that was slain, who was slain with the Midianitish woman, was Zimri, the son of Salu, a prince of a fathers' house among the Simeonites.

١٤ وَكَانَ ٱسْمُ ٱلرَّجُلِ ٱلْإِسْرَائِيلِيِّ ٱلْمَقْتُولِ ٱلَّذِي قُتِلَ مَعَ ٱلْمِدْيَانِيَّةِ، زِمْرِيَ بْنَ سَالُو، رَئِيسَ بَيْتِ أَبٍ مِنَ ٱلشِّمْعُونِيِّينَ.

15 And the name of the Midianitish woman that was slain was Cozbi, the daughter of Zur; he was head of the people of a fathers' house in Midian.

١٥ وَٱسْمُ ٱلْمَرْأَةِ ٱلْمِدْيَانِيَّةِ ٱلْمَقْتُولَةِ كُزْبِيَ بِنْتَ صُورٍ، هُوَ رَئِيسُ قَبَائِلِ بَيْتِ أَبٍ فِي مِدْيَانَ.

16 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:

١٦ ثُمَّ كَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى قَائِلًا:

17 'Harass the Midianites, and smite them;

١٧ «ضَايِقُوا ٱلْمِدْيَانِيِّينَ وَٱضْرِبُوهُمْ،

18 for they harass you, by their wiles wherewith they have beguiled you in the matter of Peor, and in the matter of Cozbi, the daughter of the prince of Midian, their sister, who was slain on the day of the plague in the matter of Peor.'

١٨ لِأَنَّهُمْ ضَايَقُوكُمْ بِمَكَايِدِهِمِ ٱلَّتِي كَادُوكُمْ بِهَا فِي أَمْرِ فَغُورَ وَأَمْرِ كُزْبِي أُخْتِهِمْ بِنْتِ رَئِيسٍ لِمِدْيَانَ، ٱلَّتِي قُتِلَتْ يَوْمَ ٱلْوَبَإِ بِسَبَبِ فَغُورَ».
