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].
Og Israel boede i Sittim, og Folket begyndte at bedrive Hor med Moabiternes Døtre.
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.
Og de indbøde Folket til deres Guders Ofre; og Folket aad, og de tilbade deres Guder.
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.
Og Israel lod sig koble til Baal-Peor; da optændtes Herrens Vrede imod Israel.
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.”
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 So Moses/I said to the other Israeli leaders, “Each of you must execute your men who have joined [others] in worshiping Baal.”
Og Mose sagde til Israels Dommere: Hver ihjelslaa sine Folk, som have ladet sig koble til Baal-Peor.
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].
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, who was the grandson of Aaron, saw that, he grabbed a spear
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 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.
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 But 24,000 people had already died [from that plague].
Og de, som døde i denne Plage, vare fire og tyve Tusinde.
10 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,
Og Herren talede til Mose og sagde:
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.
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 Now tell him that I am making a special peace agreement with him.
Derfor sig: Se, jeg gør med ham min Fredspagt.
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.”
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 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.
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 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.
Og Navnet paa den slagne midianitiske Kvinde var Kosbi, Zurs Datter, han var en Øverste for et Fædrenehuses Folk iblandt Midianiterne.
16 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,
Og Herren talede til Mose og sagde:
17 “[Take your men and] attack the Midian people-group and kill them.
Træng Midianiterne, og I skulle slaa dem;
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].”
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.
