< Numbers 25 >

1 And Israel abode in Shittim, and the people began to commit whoredom with the daughters of Moab:
イスラエルはシッテムに止まり居けるがその民モアブの婦女等と婬をおこなふことを始めたり
2 for they called the people unto the sacrifices of their gods; and the people did eat, and bowed down to their gods.
その婦女等其神々に犠牲を献る時に民を招けば民は往て食ふことを爲しかつその神々を拝めり
3 And Israel joined himself unto Baal-peor: and the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel.
イスラエルかくバアルベオルに附ければイスラエルにむかひてヱホバ怒を發したまへり
4 And the LORD said unto Moses, Take all the chiefs of the people, and hang them up unto the LORD before the sun, that the fierce anger of the LORD may turn away from Israel.
ヱホバすなはちモーセに告て言たまはく民の首をことごとく携きたりヱホバのためにかの者等を日に曝せ然せばヱホバの烈しき怒イスラエルを離るるあらんと
5 And Moses said unto the judges of Israel, Slay ye every one his men that have joined themselves unto Baal-peor.
是においてモーセ、イスラエルの士師等にむかひ汝らおのおのその配下の人々のバアルベオルに附る者を殺せと言り
6 And, behold, one of the children of Israel came and brought unto his brethren a Midianitish 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.
モーセとイスラエルの子孫の全會衆集合の幕屋の門にて哭をる時一箇のイスラエル人ミデアンの婦人一箇を携きたり彼らの目の前にてその兄弟等の中に至れり
7 And 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;
祭司アロンの子なるエレアザルの子ピネハスこれを見會衆の中より起あがりて槍を手に執り
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 belly. So the plague was stayed from the children of Israel.
そのイスラエルの人の後を追て之が寝室に入りイスラエルの人を衝きまたその婦女の腹を衝とほして二人を殺せり是において疫病のイスラエルの子孫におよぶこと止れり
9 And those that died by the plague were twenty and four thousand.
その疫病にて死たる者は二萬四千人なりき
10 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
ヱホバ、モーセに告て言たまはく
11 Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, hath turned my wrath away from the children of Israel, in that he was jealous with my jealousy among them, so that I consumed not the children of Israel in my jealousy.
祭司アロンの子なるエレアザルの子ピネハスはわが熱心をイスラエルの子孫の中にあらはして吾怒をその中より取去り我として熱心をもてイスラエルの子孫を滅し盡すにいたらざらしめたり
12 Wherefore say, Behold, I give unto him my covenant of peace:
故に汝言へ我これに平和のわが契約をさづく
13 and it shall be unto him, and to his seed after him, the covenant of an everlasting priesthood; because he was jealous for his God, and made atonement for the children of Israel.
即ち彼とその後の子孫永く祭司の職を得べし是は彼その神のために熱心にしてイスラエルの子孫のために贖をなしたればなり
14 Now the name of the man of Israel that was slain, who was slain with the Midianitish woman, was Zimri, the son of Salu, a prince of a fathers’ house among the Simeonites.
その殺されしイスラエル人すなはちミデアンの婦人とともに殺されし者はその名をジムリと言てサルの子にしてシメオン人の宗族の牧伯の一人なり
15 And the name of the Midianitish woman that was slain was Cozbi, the daughter of Zur; he was head of the people of a fathers’ house in Midian.
またその殺されしミデアンの婦人は名をコズビと曰てツルの女子なりツルはミデアンの民の宗族の首なり
16 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
ヱホバ、モーセに告て言たまはく
17 Vex the Midianites, and smite them:
ミデアン人に逼りてこれを撃て
18 for they vex you with their wiles, wherewith they have beguiled you in the matter of Peor, and in the matter of Cozbi, the daughter of the prince of Midian, their sister, which was slain on the day of the plague in the matter of Peor.
其は彼ら謀計をもて汝に逼りペオルの事とその姉妹なるミデアンの牧伯の女すなはちペオルのために疫病の起れる日に殺されしコズビの事において汝らを惑したればなり
