Numbers 25

1 And Israel sojourned in Sattin, and the people profaned itself by going a-whoring after the daughters of Moab.

١ وَأَقَامَ الإِسْرَائِيلِيُّونَ فِي شِطِّيمَ، فَشَرَعَ الرِّجَالُ يَرْتَكِبُونَ الزِّنَى مَعَ الْمُوآبِيَّاتِ

2 And they called them to the sacrifices of their idols; and the people ate of their sacrifices, and worshipped their idols.

٢ اللَّوَاتِي أَغْوَيْنَ الشَّعْبَ لِحُضُورِ ذَبَائِحِ آلِهَتِهِنَّ وَالأَكْلِ مِنْهَا وَالسُّجُودِ لَهَا.

3 And Israel consecrated themselves to Beel-phegor; and the Lord was very angry with Israel.

٣ فَاشْتَرَكَ الإِسْرَائِيلِيُّونَ فِي عِبَادَةِ بَعْلِ فَغُورَ. فَاحْتَدَمَ غَضَبُ الرَّبِّ عَلَيْهِمْ.

4 And the Lord said to Moses, Take all the princes of the people, and make them examples [of judgment] for the Lord in the face of the sun, and the anger of the Lord shall be turned away from Israel.

٤ فَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «خُذْ جَمِيعَ قَادَةِ عَبَدَةِ الْبَعْلِ وَاصْلِبْهُمْ، وَعَلِّقْهُمْ تَحْتَ وَطْأَةِ حَرَارَةِ الشَّمْسِ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ، فَتَرْتَدَّ شِدَّةُ غَضَبِهِ عَنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ».

5 And Moses said to the tribes of Israel, Slay you every one his friend that is consecrated to Beel-phegor.

٥ فَقَالَ مُوسَى لِقُضَاةِ إِسْرَائِيلَ: «اقْتُلُوا كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْ قَوْمِكُمْ مِنَ الْمُتَعَلِّقِينَ بِعِبَادَةِ بَعْلِ فَغُورَ».

6 And, behold, a man of the children of Israel came and brought his brother to a Madianitish woman before Moses, and before all the congregation of the children of Israel; and they were weeping at the door of the tabernacle of witness.

٦ وَإِذْ كَانَ مُوسَى وَسَائِرُ جَمَاعَةِ إِسْرَائِيلَ يَبْكُونَ عِنْدَ مَدْخَلِ خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ، أَقْبَلَ إِسْرَائِيلِيٌّ وَقَدَّمَ إِلَى إِخْوَتِهِ امْرَأَةً مِدْيَانِيَّةً عَلَى مَرْأَى مِنْهُمْ.

7 And Phinees the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw it, and rose out of the midst of the congregation, and took a javelin in his hand,

٧ فَلَمَّا رَأَى فِينْحَاسُ بْنُ أَلِعَازَارَ بْنِ هَرُونَ ذَلِكَ، هَبَّ مِنْ بَيْنِ الْجَمَاعَةِ، وَتَنَاوَلَ رُمْحاً بِيَدِهِ،

8 and went in after the Israelitish man into the chamber, and pierced them both through, both the Israelitish man, and the woman through her womb; and the plague was stayed from the children of Israel.

٨ وَتَبِعَ الإِسْرَائِيلِيَّ إِلَى الْخَيْمَةِ حَيْثُ طَعَنَهُمَا. فَاخْتَرَقَ الرُّمْحُ الرَّجُلَ الإِسْرَائِيلِيَّ وَبَطْنَ الْمَرأَةِ، فَكَفَّ الْوَبَأُ عَنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ.

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

٩ وَكَانَ عَدَدُ الَّذِينَ مَاتُوا بِالْوَبَإِ أَرْبَعَةً وَعِشْرِينَ أَلْفاً.

10 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

١٠ فَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى:

11 Phinees the son of Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest has caused my wrath to cease from the children of Israel, when I was exceedingly jealous among them, and I did not consume the children of Israel in my jealousy.

١١ «إِنَّ فِينْحَاسَ بْنَ أَلِعَازَارَ بْنِ هَرُونَ الْكَاهِنِ قَدْ رَدَّ غَضَبِي عَنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، إِذْ غَارَ غَيْرَتِي فِي وَسَطِهِمْ، فَلَمْ أَفْنِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ بِغَيْرَتِي.

12 Thus do you say [to him], Behold, I give him a covenant of peace:

١٢ لِذَلِكَ قُلْ لَهُ: هَأَنَذَا أَقْطَعُ مَعَهُ مِيثَاقَ سَلامٍ،

13 and he and his seed after him shall have a perpetual covenant of priesthood, because he was zealous for his God, and made atonement for the children of Israel.

١٣ فَيَكُونُ لَهُ وَلِنَسْلِهِ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ مِيثَاقَ كَهَنُوتٍ أَبَدِيٍّ، لأَنَّهُ غَارَ للهِ وَكَفَّرَ عَنِ الإِسْرَائِيلِيِّينَ».

14 Now the name of the struck Israelitish man, who was struck with the Madianitish woman, [was] Zambri son of Salmon, prince of a house of the tribe of Symeon.

١٤ وَكَانَ اسْمُ الإِسْرَائِيلِيِّ الَّذِي قُتِلَ مَعَ الْمَرْأَةِ الْمِدْيَانِيَّةِ زِمْرِيَ بْنَ سَالُو، وَهُوَ أَحَدُ رُؤَسَاءِ عَائِلَةٍ مِنْ سِبْطِ شِمْعُونَ.

15 And the name of the Madianitish woman who was struck, [was] Chasbi, daughter of Sur, a prince of the nation of Ommoth: it is a chief house among the people of Madiam.

١٥ أَمَّا الْمَرْأَةُ الْمِدْيَانِيَّةُ الْمَقْتُولَةُ فَكَانَ اسْمُهَا كُزْبِيَ بِنْتَ صُورٍ الَّذِي كَانَ رَئِيسَ قَبِيلَةٍ مِنْ قَبَائِلِ مِدْيَانَ.

16 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, Speak to the children of Israel, saying,

١٦ ثُمَّ قَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى:

17 Plague the Madianites as enemies, and strike them,

١٧ «أَسِيئُوا مُعَامَلَةَ الْمِدْيَانِيِّينَ وَأَهْلِكُوهُمْ،

18 for they are enemies to you by the treachery wherein they ensnare you through Phogor, and through Chasbi their sister, daughter of a prince of Madiam, who was struck in the day of the plague because of Phogor.

١٨ لأَنَّهُمْ ضَايَقُوكُمْ بِمَكَايِدِهِمِ الَّتِي احْتَالُوا بِها عَلَيْكُمْ بِشَأْنِ فَغُورَ، وَأُخْتِهِمْ كُزْبِي ابْنَةِ رَئِيسٍ لِمِدْيَانَ، الَّتِي قُتِلَتْ عِنْدَمَا تَفَشَّى الْوَبَأُ بِسَبَبِ عِبَادَةِ فَغُورَ».
