Numbers 25
1 And Israel abode in Shittim, and the people began to commit harlotry with the daughters of Moab.
Og Israel boede i Sittim, og Folket begyndte at bedrive Hor med Moabiternes Døtre.
2 And they called the people unto the sacrifices of their gods; and the people did eat, and bowed down to their gods.
Og de indbøde Folket til deres Guders Ofre; og Folket aad, og de tilbade deres Guder.
3 And Israel joined himself unto the Baal of Peor; and the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel.
Og Israel lod sig koble til Baal-Peor; da optændtes Herrens Vrede imod Israel.
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.'
Og Herren sagde til Mose: Hent alle de Øverste for Folket og lad hine ophænge for Herren imod Solen; saa skal Herrens brændende Vrede vendes fra Israel.
5 And Moses said unto the judges of Israel: 'Slay ye every one his men that have joined themselves unto the Baal of Peor.'
Og Mose sagde til Israels Dommere: Hver ihjelslaa sine Folk, som have ladet sig koble til Baal-Peor.
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.
Og se, en Mand af Israels Børn kom og førte en midianitisk Kvinde frem til sine Brødre, for Mose Øjne og for al Israels Børns Menigheds Øjne; og disse græd ved Forsamlingens Pauluns Dør.
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.
Og Pinehas, en Søn af Eleasar, der var en Søn af Præsten Aron, saa det; og han stod op midt i Menigheden og tog et Spyd i sin Haand.
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.
Og han gik ind efter den israelitiske Mand i Horekippen og igennemstak dem begge, nemlig den israelitiske Mand og Kvinden, gennem hendes Liv. Da aflod Plagen fra Israels Børn.
9 And those that died by the plague were twenty and four thousand.
Og de, som døde i denne Plage, vare fire og tyve Tusinde.
10 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:
Og Herren talede til Mose og sagde:
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.
Pinehas, en Søn af Eleasar, der var en Søn af Præsten Aron, har vendt min Vrede fra Israels Børn, idet han var nidkær med min Nidkærhed midt iblandt dem, saa at jeg ikke har gjort Ende paa Israels Børn i min Nidkærhed.
12 Wherefore say: Behold, I give unto him My covenant of peace;
Derfor sig: Se, jeg gør med ham min Fredspagt.
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.'
Og han og hans Sæd efter ham skal have et evigt Præstedømmes Pagt, fordi han var nidkær for sin Gud og gjorde Forligede for Israels Børn.
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.
Men Navnet paa den slagne israelitiske Mand, som blev slagen tillige med den midianitiske Kvinde, var Simri, Salu Søn, en Fyrste for et Fædrenehus iblandt Simeoniterne.
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.
Og Navnet paa den slagne midianitiske Kvinde var Kosbi, Zurs Datter, han var en Øverste for et Fædrenehuses Folk iblandt Midianiterne.
16 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:
Og Herren talede til Mose og sagde:
17 'Harass the Midianites, and smite them;
Træng Midianiterne, og I skulle slaa dem;
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.'
thi de trængte eder med deres Træskhed, idet de handlede træskeligen imod eder i den Sag med Peor og med Kosbi, den midianitiske Fyrstes Datter, deres Søster, som blev slagen paa Plagens Dag, for Peors Skyld.
