Numbers 25
1 Now Israel stayed in Shittim; and the people defiled themselves by having sexual relations with the women of Moab,
Og Israel boede i Sittim, og Folket begyndte at bedrive Hor med Moabiternes Døtre.
2 and they called the people to the sacrifices of their gods; and the people ate, and bowed down to their gods.
Og de indbøde Folket til deres Guders Ofre; og Folket aad, og de tilbade deres Guder.
3 Israel joined himself to Baal Peor: and the anger of YHWH was kindled against Israel.
Og Israel lod sig koble til Baal-Peor; da optændtes Herrens Vrede imod Israel.
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."
Og Herren sagde til Mose: Hent alle de Øverste for Folket og lad hine ophænge for Herren imod Solen; saa skal Herrens brændende Vrede vendes fra Israel.
5 Moses said to the judges of Israel, "Everyone kill his men who have joined themselves to Baal Peor."
Og Mose sagde til Israels Dommere: Hver ihjelslaa sine Folk, som have ladet sig koble til Baal-Peor.
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.
Og se, en Mand af Israels Børn kom og førte en midianitisk Kvinde frem til sine Brødre, for Mose Øjne og for al Israels Børns Menigheds Øjne; og disse græd ved Forsamlingens Pauluns Dør.
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;
Og Pinehas, en Søn af Eleasar, der var en Søn af Præsten Aron, saa det; og han stod op midt i Menigheden og tog et Spyd i sin Haand.
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.
Og han gik ind efter den israelitiske Mand i Horekippen og igennemstak dem begge, nemlig den israelitiske Mand og Kvinden, gennem hendes Liv. Da aflod Plagen fra Israels Børn.
9 Those who died by the plague were twenty-four thousand.
Og de, som døde i denne Plage, vare fire og tyve Tusinde.
10 YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,
Og Herren talede til Mose og sagde:
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.
Pinehas, en Søn af Eleasar, der var en Søn af Præsten Aron, har vendt min Vrede fra Israels Børn, idet han var nidkær med min Nidkærhed midt iblandt dem, saa at jeg ikke har gjort Ende paa Israels Børn i min Nidkærhed.
12 Therefore say, 'Look, I give to him my covenant of peace:
Derfor sig: Se, jeg gør med ham min Fredspagt.
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.'"
Og han og hans Sæd efter ham skal have et evigt Præstedømmes Pagt, fordi han var nidkær for sin Gud og gjorde Forligede for Israels Børn.
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.
Men Navnet paa den slagne israelitiske Mand, som blev slagen tillige med den midianitiske Kvinde, var Simri, Salu Søn, en Fyrste for et Fædrenehus iblandt Simeoniterne.
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.
Og Navnet paa den slagne midianitiske Kvinde var Kosbi, Zurs Datter, han var en Øverste for et Fædrenehuses Folk iblandt Midianiterne.
16 And YHWH spoke to Moses, saying, "Speak to the children of Israel, saying,
Og Herren talede til Mose og sagde:
17 'Harass the Midianites, and strike them;
Træng Midianiterne, og I skulle slaa dem;
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.'"
thi de trængte eder med deres Træskhed, idet de handlede træskeligen imod eder i den Sag med Peor og med Kosbi, den midianitiske Fyrstes Datter, deres Søster, som blev slagen paa Plagens Dag, for Peors Skyld.
