< Numbers 25 >

1 Now Israel stayed in Shittim; and the people defiled themselves by having sexual relations with the women of Moab,
وَأَقَامَ الإِسْرَائِيلِيُّونَ فِي شِطِّيمَ، فَشَرَعَ الرِّجَالُ يَرْتَكِبُونَ الزِّنَى مَعَ الْمُوآبِيَّاتِ١
2 and they called the people to the sacrifices of their gods; and the people ate, and bowed down to their gods.
اللَّوَاتِي أَغْوَيْنَ الشَّعْبَ لِحُضُورِ ذَبَائِحِ آلِهَتِهِنَّ وَالأَكْلِ مِنْهَا وَالسُّجُودِ لَهَا.٢
3 Israel joined himself to Baal Peor: and the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel.
فَاشْتَرَكَ الإِسْرَائِيلِيُّونَ فِي عِبَادَةِ بَعْلِ فَغُورَ. فَاحْتَدَمَ غَضَبُ الرَّبِّ عَلَيْهِمْ.٣
4 The LORD said to Moses, "Take all the chiefs of the people, and hang them up to the LORD before the sun, that the fierce anger of the LORD may turn away from Israel."
فَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «خُذْ جَمِيعَ قَادَةِ عَبَدَةِ الْبَعْلِ وَاصْلِبْهُمْ، وَعَلِّقْهُمْ تَحْتَ وَطْأَةِ حَرَارَةِ الشَّمْسِ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ، فَتَرْتَدَّ شِدَّةُ غَضَبِهِ عَنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ».٤
5 Moses said to the judges of Israel, "Everyone kill his men who have joined themselves to Baal Peor."
فَقَالَ مُوسَى لِقُضَاةِ إِسْرَائِيلَ: «اقْتُلُوا كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْ قَوْمِكُمْ مِنَ الْمُتَعَلِّقِينَ بِعِبَادَةِ بَعْلِ فَغُورَ».٥
6 Look, one of the children of Israel came and brought to his brothers a Midianite 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.
وَإِذْ كَانَ مُوسَى وَسَائِرُ جَمَاعَةِ إِسْرَائِيلَ يَبْكُونَ عِنْدَ مَدْخَلِ خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ، أَقْبَلَ إِسْرَائِيلِيٌّ وَقَدَّمَ إِلَى إِخْوَتِهِ امْرَأَةً مِدْيَانِيَّةً عَلَى مَرْأَى مِنْهُمْ.٦
7 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;
فَلَمَّا رَأَى فِينْحَاسُ بْنُ أَلِعَازَارَ بْنِ هَرُونَ ذَلِكَ، هَبَّ مِنْ بَيْنِ الْجَمَاعَةِ، وَتَنَاوَلَ رُمْحاً بِيَدِهِ،٧
8 and he went after the man of Israel into the pavilion, and thrust both of them through, the man of Israel, and the woman through her body. So the plague was stayed from the children of Israel.
وَتَبِعَ الإِسْرَائِيلِيَّ إِلَى الْخَيْمَةِ حَيْثُ طَعَنَهُمَا. فَاخْتَرَقَ الرُّمْحُ الرَّجُلَ الإِسْرَائِيلِيَّ وَبَطْنَ الْمَرأَةِ، فَكَفَّ الْوَبَأُ عَنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ.٨
9 Those who died by the plague were twenty-four thousand.
وَكَانَ عَدَدُ الَّذِينَ مَاتُوا بِالْوَبَإِ أَرْبَعَةً وَعِشْرِينَ أَلْفاً.٩
10 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
فَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى:١٠
11 "Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, has turned my wrath away from the children of Israel, in that he was jealous with my jealousy among them, so that I did not consume the children of Israel in my jealousy.
«إِنَّ فِينْحَاسَ بْنَ أَلِعَازَارَ بْنِ هَرُونَ الْكَاهِنِ قَدْ رَدَّ غَضَبِي عَنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، إِذْ غَارَ غَيْرَتِي فِي وَسَطِهِمْ، فَلَمْ أَفْنِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ بِغَيْرَتِي.١١
12 Therefore say, 'Look, I give to him my covenant of peace:
لِذَلِكَ قُلْ لَهُ: هَأَنَذَا أَقْطَعُ مَعَهُ مِيثَاقَ سَلامٍ،١٢
13 and it shall be to him, and to his descendants after him, the covenant of an everlasting priesthood; because he was jealous for his God, and made atonement for the children of Israel.'"
فَيَكُونُ لَهُ وَلِنَسْلِهِ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ مِيثَاقَ كَهَنُوتٍ أَبَدِيٍّ، لأَنَّهُ غَارَ للهِ وَكَفَّرَ عَنِ الإِسْرَائِيلِيِّينَ».١٣
14 Now the name of the man of Israel that was slain, who was slain with the Midianite woman, was Zimri, the son of Salu, a prince of a fathers' house among the Simeonites.
وَكَانَ اسْمُ الإِسْرَائِيلِيِّ الَّذِي قُتِلَ مَعَ الْمَرْأَةِ الْمِدْيَانِيَّةِ زِمْرِيَ بْنَ سَالُو، وَهُوَ أَحَدُ رُؤَسَاءِ عَائِلَةٍ مِنْ سِبْطِ شِمْعُونَ.١٤
15 The name of the Midianite woman who was slain was Cozbi, the daughter of Zur; he was head of the people of a fathers' house in Midian.
أَمَّا الْمَرْأَةُ الْمِدْيَانِيَّةُ الْمَقْتُولَةُ فَكَانَ اسْمُهَا كُزْبِيَ بِنْتَ صُورٍ الَّذِي كَانَ رَئِيسَ قَبِيلَةٍ مِنْ قَبَائِلِ مِدْيَانَ.١٥
16 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, "Speak to the children of Israel, saying,
ثُمَّ قَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى:١٦
17 'Harass the Midianites, and strike them;
«أَسِيئُوا مُعَامَلَةَ الْمِدْيَانِيِّينَ وَأَهْلِكُوهُمْ،١٧
18 for they harassed you with their tricks, with which they have deceived 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.'"
لأَنَّهُمْ ضَايَقُوكُمْ بِمَكَايِدِهِمِ الَّتِي احْتَالُوا بِها عَلَيْكُمْ بِشَأْنِ فَغُورَ، وَأُخْتِهِمْ كُزْبِي ابْنَةِ رَئِيسٍ لِمِدْيَانَ، الَّتِي قُتِلَتْ عِنْدَمَا تَفَشَّى الْوَبَأُ بِسَبَبِ عِبَادَةِ فَغُورَ».١٨
