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].
I življaše Izrailj u Sitimu, i narod stade èiniti preljubu sa kæerima Moavskim.
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.
One pozivahu narod na žrtve svojih bogova, i narod jeðaše, i klanjaše se bogovima njihovijem.
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.
I Izrailj prionu uz Velfegora; i razgnjevi se Gospod na Izrailja.
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.”
I reèe Gospod Mojsiju: uzmi sve knezove narodne, i objesi ih Gospodu prema suncu, da se odvrati gnjev Gospodnji od Izrailja.
5 So Moses/I said to the other Israeli leaders, “Each of you must execute your men who have joined [others] in worshiping Baal.”
I reèe Mojsije sudijama Izrailjevijem: pobijte svaki svoje koji su prionuli uz Velfegora.
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].
I gle, jedan izmeðu sinova Izrailjevijeh doðe i dovede k braæi svojoj jednu Madijanku na oèi Mojsiju i na oèi svemu zboru sinova Izrailjevijeh; a oni zaplakaše na vratima šatora od sastanka.
7 When Phinehas, who was the grandson of Aaron, saw that, he grabbed a spear
A kad to vidje Fines sin Eleazara sina Arona sveštenika, usta isred zbora i uze koplje u ruku;
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.
I uðe za èovjekom Izrailjcem u šator, i probode ih oboje, èovjeka Izrailjca i onu ženu, kroz trbuh, i presta pogibija meðu sinovima Izrailjevijem.
9 But 24,000 people had already died [from that plague].
I izgibe ih od te pogibije dvadeset i èetiri tisuæe.
10 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,
Tada reèe Gospod Mojsiju govoreæi:
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.
Fines sin Eleazara sina Arona sveštenika odvrati gnjev moj od sinova Izrailjevijeh otvorivši revnost za me meðu njima, da ne bih istrijebio sinove Izrailjeve u revnosti svojoj.
12 Now tell him that I am making a special peace agreement with him.
Zato mu kaži: evo dajem mu svoj zavjet mirni.
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.”
I imaæe on i sjeme njegovo nakon njega zavjet sveštenstva vjeènoga, jer revnova za Boga svojega i oèisti sinove Izrailjeve.
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.
A èovjeku Izrailjcu ubijenome, koji bi ubijen s Madijankom, bješe ime Zamrije sin Salmonov, knez od doma oca svojega od plemena Simeunova.
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.
A ubijenoj ženi Madijanci bješe ime Hazvija kæi Sura kneza narodnoga u domu oca svojega meðu Madijancima.
16 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,
I reèe Gospod Mojsiju govoreæi:
17 “[Take your men and] attack the Midian people-group and kill them.
Zavojštite na Madijance, i bijte ih;
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].”
Jer oni zavojštiše na vas prijevarama svojim, i prevariše vas Velfegorom i Hazvijom kæerju kneza Madijanskoga, sestrom svojom, koja bi ubijena u dan pogibije koja doðe s Fegora.
