Numbers 25
1 And Israel sojourned in Sattin, and the people profaned itself by going a-whoring after the daughters of Moab.
當以色列人住在史廷的時候，民眾開始與摩阿布女子行淫。
2 And they called them to the sacrifices of their idols; and the people ate of their sacrifices, and worshipped their idols.
這些女子請民眾參與她們神祗的祭祀；民眾吃了供物，且朝拜了她們的神祗。
3 And Israel consecrated themselves to Beel-phegor; and the Lord was very angry with Israel.
這樣以色列人就歸依了巴耳培敖爾，上主因此對以色列大發憤怒。
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.
上主對梅瑟說：「你捉住民眾中所有的罪魁，在光天化日之下，為上主對他們懸掛起來，好挽回上主對以色列的怒火」。
5 And Moses said to the tribes of Israel, Slay you every one his friend that is consecrated to Beel-phegor.
梅瑟就吩咐以色列的各首長說：「你們每人應將自已家中歸依巴耳培敖爾的人殺死」。
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.
看，當梅瑟和以色列子民全會眾都在會幕門口流淚痛哭時，以色列子民中正有一人，當他們的面，帶了一個米德揚女人到他兄弟那裏去。
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,
大司祭亞郎的兒子厄肋阿匝爾的兒子丕乃哈斯一見，就由會眾中起來，順手拿了一把長槍，
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.
跟那以色列人進入臥室內，刺穿了他們兩人，即那以色列和那女人的肚腹；以色列子民間的災禍遂止息了。
9 And those that died in the plague were four and twenty thousand.
在這次災禍內，死去了二萬四千人。
10 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
上主於是訓示梅瑟說：
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.
「大司祭亞郎的孫子，厄肋阿匝爾床的丕乃哈斯，由以色列子民身上挽回了我的憤怒，因為他在他們中，懷著與我同樣的嫉邪的心，因此我沒有因我嫉邪之心消滅了以色列子民。
12 Thus do you say [to him], Behold, I give him a covenant of peace:
為此你應聲明：看，我與他結平安的盟約。
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.
這為他和他的後裔，是永享司祭品位的盟約，因為他為了自己天主的緣故，嫉惡如仇，賠補了以色列子民的罪」。
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.
那與米德揚女人一同被殺的人，名叫齊默黎，是撒路的兒子，西滿盎家族的族長。
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.
那被殺的米德揚女人，名叫苛次彼，是族爾的女兒；族爾是米德揚一部落的酋長。
16 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, Speak to the children of Israel, saying,
事後，上主訓示梅瑟說：
17 Plague the Madianites as enemies, and strike them,
「你應2圍攻米德揚人，打擊他們，因為他們用詭計打擊了你們，就是在培敖爾的事上，
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.
並且他們的姊妹．米德揚酋長的女兒苛次彼的事上，欺騙了你們。──這女子已在培敖爾的事上，在災禍之日被殺」。
