Numbers 25

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

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

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

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

3 And Israel joined themselves unto Baal-peor; and the anger of the Lord was kindled against Israel.

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

4 And the Lord said unto Moses, Take all the heads of the people, and [cause them to] hang the [guilty] up before the Lord, in the face of the sun, that the fierce anger of the Lord may 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 unto the judges of Israel, Slay ye every one his men that have been joined unto Baal-peor.

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

6 And, behold, one of the children of Israel came, and brought unto his brethren a Midianitish woman, before the eyes of Moses, and before the eyes of all the congregation of the children of Israel, and these were weeping by the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.

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

7 And when Phinehas, the son of Elazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw it, he rose up from 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 he went after the man of Israel into the tent, and thrust both of them through, the man of Israel, and the woman through her body: 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 twenty and four thousand.

٩ وَكَانَ عَدَدُ الَّذِينَ مَاتُوا بِالْوَبَإِ أَرْبَعَةً وَعِشْرِينَ أَلْفاً.

10 And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,

١٠ فَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى:

11 Phinehas, the son of Elazar, the son of Aaron the priest, hath turned away my wrath from the children of Israel, while he was zealous in my stead in the midst of them, that I consumed not the children of Israel in my indignation.

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 Therefore say, Behold, I give unto him my covenant of peace;

١٢ لِذَلِكَ قُلْ لَهُ: هَأَنَذَا أَقْطَعُ مَعَهُ مِيثَاقَ سَلامٍ،

13 And it shall be unto him and unto his seed after him a covenant of an everlasting priesthood; because he was zealous for his God, and made an 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 man of Israel that was slain, who was slain with the Midianitish woman, was Zimri, the son of Sahlu, a prince of a family division among the Simeonites.

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 Midianitish woman that was slain was Cozbi, the daughter of Zur; he was head of tribes, of a family division in Midian.

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

16 And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,

١٦ ثُمَّ قَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى:

17 Attack the Midianites and smite them;

١٧ «أَسِيئُوا مُعَامَلَةَ الْمِدْيَانِيِّينَ وَأَهْلِكُوهُمْ،

18 For they are enemies unto you with their wiles, wherewith they have beguiled you in the matter of Peor, and in the matter of Cozbi, the daughter of a prince of Midian, their sister, who was slain on the day of the plague for the sake of Peor.

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