Numbers 25
1 While the Israelis were camped at a place called Acacia [Grove], some of the men caused themselves to become unacceptable to God by having sex with some of the women of the Moab [people-group who lived in that area].
А докато Израил оставаше в Ситим, людете почнаха да блудствуват с моавките;
2 Then those women invited the men to come when the sacrifices were being offered to their gods. The Israeli men [accepted]. They went to the feasts with the women and worshiped the gods of the Moab people-group.
защото те канеха людете на жертвите на боговете си, и людете ядяха и се кланяха на боговете им.
3 By doing that, those Israeli people joined the women in worshiping the god Baal [add] the Moab people-group thought lived on Peor Mountain. That caused Yahweh to become very angry with his people.
Израил се привърза за Ваалфегора; и Господният гняв пламна против Израиля.
4 Yahweh said this to Moses/me: “Seize all the leaders of those men who are doing this and execute them while I am watching. Do that in the daytime. After you do that, I will no longer be angry with the Israeli people.”
Тогава Господ рече на Моисея: Хвани всичките първенци на людете и обеси ги за Господа пред слънцето, за да се отвърне от Израиля Господният яростен гняв.
5 So Moses/I said to the other Israeli leaders, “Each of you must execute your men who have joined [others] in worshiping Baal.”
И Моисей рече на Израилевите съдии: Убийте всеки подчинените си човеци, които се привързаха за Ваалфегора.
6 [But later], while Moses/I and many [HYP] other people were crying at the entrance of the Sacred Tent, while they/we were watching, one of the Israeli men brought a woman from the Midian people-group into his tent [and started to have sex with her].
И, ето, един от израилтяните дойде и доведе на братята си една мадиамка пред очите на Моисея и пред цялото общество израилтяни, когато те плачеха пред входа на шатъра за срещане.
7 When Phinehas, who was the grandson of Aaron, saw that, he grabbed a spear
А Финеес, син на Елеазара син на свещеника Аарона, като видя стана изсред обществото, взе копие в ръката си,
8 and rushed into the man’s tent. He thrust the spear completely through the man’s body and into the woman’s belly [and killed both of them]. When he did that, the (plague/serious illness) [that had started to strike the Israelis] stopped.
и влезе подир израилтянина в спалнята та прободе и двамата - израилтянина и жената в корема й. Така язвата престана от израилтяните.
9 But 24,000 people had already died [from that plague].
А умрелите от язвата бяха двадесет и четири хиляди души.
10 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,
Тогава Господ говори на Моисея, казвайки:
11 “Phinehas has caused me to stop being angry with the Israeli people, by being as eager as I am [to stop this sinful behavior]. I was ready to get rid of all the Israeli people because I was extremely angry, but Phinehas has prevented me from doing that.
Финеес, син на Елеазара, син на свещеника Аарона, отвърна яростта Ми от израилтяните; понеже показа ревността всред тях подобна на Моята, така щото Аз не изтребих израилтяните в ревността си.
12 Now tell him that I am making a special peace agreement with him.
За това кажи му: Ето, Аз му давам Моя завет на мир;
13 In this agreement, I am promising to give to him and to his descendants the right/authority to be priests. I am doing this because [he showed that] he was very eager to honor me, his God, by stopping this sinful behavior. He has caused the Israeli people to become acceptable to me again by causing them to be forgiven for their sin.”
ще бъде нему и на потомството му подир него завет на вечно свещенство, защото беше ревностен за своя Бог и направи умилостивение за израилтяните.
14 The Israeli man who was killed with the woman of the Moab people-group was named Zimri. He was the son of Salu, who was the leader of a family from the tribe of Simeon.
А името на убитият израилтянин, който беше убит с мадиамката, беше Зимрий син на Салу, първенец на един бащин дом от симеонците.
15 The woman’s name was Cozbi. She was the daughter of Zur, who was the leader of one of the clans of the Midian people-group.
И името на убитата мадиамка беше Хазвия, дъщеря на Сура, началник на людете, от един бащин дом в Мадиам.
16 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,
След това Господ говори на Моисея, казвайки:
17 “[Take your men and] attack the Midian people-group and kill them.
Измъчвайте мадиамците и поразете ги;
18 They have become your enemies, because they tricked you Israeli people and induced/persuaded many of you to worship Baal, and because [one of your men had sex with] Cozbi, who was the daughter of a leader of the Midian people-group. She was killed at the time the plague [started because the people sinned] at Peor [Mountain].”
защото те ви измъчват с коварствата, с които ви примамиха чрез Фегора и чрез сестра си Хазвия, дъщеря на един мадиамски първенец, която беше убита в деня на язвата наложена поради Фегора.
