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].
Och Israel bodde i Sittim, och folket begynte bola med de Moabiters döttrar,
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.
Hvilka bödo folket till deras gudars offer.
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.
Och folket åt, och tillbad deras gudar, och Israel höll sig intill BaalPeor; då förgrymmade sig Herrans vrede öfver 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.”
Och Herren sade till Mose: Tag alla öfverstarna för folket, och häng dem upp Herranom i solene, på det den grymme Herrans vrede måtte varda vänd ifrån 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.”
Och Mose sade till de domare i Israel: Hvar och en dräpe sina män, som sig till BaalPeor hållit hafva.
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].
Och si, en man utaf Israels barn kom, och hade in ibland sina bröder ena Midianitiska qvinno; och lät Mose se det, och hela menighetena af Israels barn, som greto inför dörrena af vittnesbördsens tabernakel.
7 When Phinehas, who was the grandson of Aaron, saw that, he grabbed a spear
Då Pinehas det såg, Eleazars son, Prestens Aarons sons, stod han upp utu menighetene, och tog en knif i sina hand;
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.
Och gick efter den Israelitiska mannen in uti horohuset, och stack dem, både den Israelitiska mannen och qvinnona, igenom deras buk. Så vände plågan igen af Israels barn.
9 But 24,000 people had already died [from that plague].
Och i de plågone vordo dräpne fyra och tjugu tusend.
10 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,
Och Herren talade med Mose, och sade:
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, Eleazars son, Prestens Aarons sons, hafver afvändt mina grymhet ifrån Israels barn, i det han nitisk var om mig, att jag i mitt nit icke skulle förgöra Israels barn.
12 Now tell him that I am making a special peace agreement with him.
Derföre säger jag: Si, jag gifver honom mins frids förbund.
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.”
Och han och hans säd efter honom skall hafva ett evigt Presterskaps förbund; derföre, att han för sin Gud hafver nitisk varit, och Israels barn försonat.
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 den Israelitiska mannen, som slagen vardt med den Midianitiska qvinnone, het Simri, Salu son, en Förste öfver de Simeoniters fäders hus.
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.
Den Midianitiska qvinnan, som ock slagen vardt, het Cosbi, Zurs dotter, den en Förste var för en slägt ibland de Midianiter.
16 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,
Och Herren talade med Mose, och sade:
17 “[Take your men and] attack the Midian people-group and kill them.
Gör de Midianiter ondt, och slå 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].”
Förty de hafva gjort eder ondt med deras list, den de eder beställt hafva med Peor, och med deras syster Cosbi, den Midianitiska Förstans dotter, hvilken slagen vardt, på plågones dag, för Peors skull.
