Numbers 25

1 Now Israel stayed in Shittim; and the people defiled themselves by having sexual relations with the women of Moab,

١ وَأَقَامَ إِسْرَائِيلُ فِي شِطِّيمَ، وَٱبْتَدَأَ ٱلشَّعْبُ يَزْنُونَ مَعَ بَنَاتِ مُوآبَ.

2 and they called the people to the sacrifices of their gods; and the people ate, and bowed down to their gods.

٢ فَدَعَوْنَ ٱلشَّعْبَ إِلَى ذَبَائِحِ آلِهَتِهِنَّ، فَأَكَلَ ٱلشَّعْبُ وَسَجَدُوا لِآلِهَتِهِنَّ.

3 Israel joined himself to Baal Peor: and the anger of YHWH was kindled against Israel.

٣ وَتَعَلَّقَ إِسْرَائِيلُ بِبَعْلِ فَغُورَ. فَحَمِيَ غَضَبُ ٱلرَّبِّ عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ.

4 YHWH said to Moses, "Take all the chiefs of the people, and hang them up to YHWH before the sun, that the fierce anger of YHWH may turn away from Israel."

٤ فَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «خُذْ جَمِيعَ رُؤُوسِ ٱلشَّعْبِ وَعَلِّقْهُمْ لِلرَّبِّ مُقَابِلَ ٱلشَّمْسِ، فَيَرْتَدَّ حُمُوُّ غَضَبِ ٱلرَّبِّ عَنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ».

5 Moses said to the judges of Israel, "Everyone kill his men who have joined themselves to Baal Peor."

٥ فَقَالَ مُوسَى لِقُضَاةِ إِسْرَائِيلَ: «ٱقْتُلُوا كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ قَوْمَهُ ٱلْمُتَعَلِّقِينَ بِبَعْلِ فَغُورَ».

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.

٦ وَإِذَا رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ جَاءَ وَقَدَّمَ إِلَى إِخْوَتِهِ ٱلْمِدْيَانِيَّةَ، أَمَامَ عَيْنَيْ مُوسَى وَأَعْيُنِ كُلِّ جَمَاعَةِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَهُمْ بَاكُونَ لَدَى بَابِ خَيْمَةِ ٱلِٱجْتِمَاعِ.

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;

٧ فَلَمَّا رَأَى ذَلِكَ فِينْحَاسُ بْنُ أَلِعَازَارَ بْنِ هَارُونَ ٱلْكَاهِنِ، قَامَ مِنْ وَسَطِ ٱلْجَمَاعَةِ وَأَخَذَ رُمْحًا بِيَدِهِ،

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.

٨ وَدَخَلَ وَرَاءَ ٱلرَّجُلِ ٱلْإِسْرَائِيلِيِّ إِلَى ٱلْقُبَّةِ وَطَعَنَ كِلَيْهِمَا، ٱلرَّجُلَ ٱلْإِسْرَائِيلِيَّ وَٱلْمَرْأَةَ فِي بَطْنِهَا. فَٱمْتَنَعَ ٱلْوَبَأُ عَنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ.

9 Those who died by the plague were twenty-four thousand.

٩ وَكَانَ ٱلَّذِينَ مَاتُوا بِٱلْوَبَإِ أَرْبَعَةً وَعِشْرِينَ أَلْفًا.

10 YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,

١٠ فَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى قَائِلًا:

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.

١١ «فِينْحَاسُ بْنُ أَلِعَازَارَ بْنِ هَارُونَ ٱلْكَاهِنِ قَدْ رَدَّ سَخَطِي عَنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ بِكَوْنِهِ غَارَ غَيْرَتِي فِي وَسَطِهِمْ حَتَّى لَمْ أُفْنِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ بِغَيْرَتِي.

12 Therefore say, 'Look, I give to him my covenant of peace:

١٢ لِذَلِكَ قُلْ: هَأَنَذَا أُعْطِيهِ مِيثَاقِي مِيثَاقَ ٱلسَّلَامِ،

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.'"

١٣ فَيَكُونُ لَهُ وَلِنَسْلِهِ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ مِيثَاقَ كَهَنُوتٍ أَبَدِيٍّ، لِأَجْلِ أَنَّهُ غَارَ لِلهِ وَكَفَّرَ عَنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ».

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.

١٤ وَكَانَ ٱسْمُ ٱلرَّجُلِ ٱلْإِسْرَائِيلِيِّ ٱلْمَقْتُولِ ٱلَّذِي قُتِلَ مَعَ ٱلْمِدْيَانِيَّةِ، زِمْرِيَ بْنَ سَالُو، رَئِيسَ بَيْتِ أَبٍ مِنَ ٱلشِّمْعُونِيِّينَ.

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.

١٥ وَٱسْمُ ٱلْمَرْأَةِ ٱلْمِدْيَانِيَّةِ ٱلْمَقْتُولَةِ كُزْبِيَ بِنْتَ صُورٍ، هُوَ رَئِيسُ قَبَائِلِ بَيْتِ أَبٍ فِي مِدْيَانَ.

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

١٦ ثُمَّ كَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى قَائِلًا:

17 'Harass the Midianites, and strike them;

١٧ «ضَايِقُوا ٱلْمِدْيَانِيِّينَ وَٱضْرِبُوهُمْ،

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.'"

١٨ لِأَنَّهُمْ ضَايَقُوكُمْ بِمَكَايِدِهِمِ ٱلَّتِي كَادُوكُمْ بِهَا فِي أَمْرِ فَغُورَ وَأَمْرِ كُزْبِي أُخْتِهِمْ بِنْتِ رَئِيسٍ لِمِدْيَانَ، ٱلَّتِي قُتِلَتْ يَوْمَ ٱلْوَبَإِ بِسَبَبِ فَغُورَ».
