< Numbers 25 >
1 Israel stayed in Shittim, and the men began to prostitute themselves with women of Moab,
Morabatur autem eo tempore Israel in Setim, et fornicatus est populus cum filiabus Moab,
2 for the Moabites had invited the people to the sacrifices to their gods. So the people ate and bowed down to Moabite gods.
quae vocaverunt eos ad sacrificia sua. At ille comederunt et adoraverunt deos earum.
3 The men of Israel joined in worshiping Baal of Peor, and Yahweh's anger was kindled against Israel.
Initiatusque est Israel Beelphegor: et iratus Dominus,
4 Yahweh said to Moses, “Kill all the leaders of the people and hang them up before me to expose them in the daylight, so that my fierce anger may turn away from Israel.”
ait ad Moysen: Tolle cunctos principes populi, et suspende eos contra solem in patibulis: ut avertatur furor meus ab Israel.
5 So Moses said to Israel's leaders, “Each of you must execute his people who have joined in worshiping Baal of Peor.”
Dixitque Moyses ad Iudices Israel: Occidat unusquisque proximos suos, qui initiati sunt Beelphegor.
6 Then one of the men of Israel came and brought among his family members a Midianite woman. This happened in the sight of Moses and all the community of the people of Israel, while they were weeping at the entrance to the tent of meeting.
Et ecce unus de filiis Israel intravit coram fratribus suis ad scortum Madianitidem, vidente Moyse, et omni turba filiorum Israel, qui flebant ante fores tabernaculi.
7 When Phinehas son of Eleazar son of Aaron the priest, saw that, he rose up from among the community and took a spear in his hand.
Quod cum vidisset Phinees filius Eleazari filii Aaron sacerdotis, surrexit de medio multitudinis, et arrepto pugione,
8 He followed the Israelite man into the tent and thrust the spear through both of their bodies, both the Israelite man and the woman. So a plague that God had sent on the people of Israel stopped.
ingressus est post virum Israelitem in lupanar, et perfodit ambos simul, virum scilicet et mulierem in locis genitalibus. Cessavitque plaga a filiis Israel:
9 Those who died by the plague were twenty-four thousand in number.
et occisi sunt vigintiquattuor millia hominum.
10 Yahweh spoke to Moses and said,
Dixitque Dominus ad Moysen:
11 “Phinehas son of Eleazar son of Aaron the priest, has turned my rage away from the people of Israel because he was passionate with my zeal among them. So I have not consumed the people of Israel in my fierceness.
Phinees filius Eleazari filii Aaron sacerdotis avertit iram meam a filiis Israel: quia zelo meo commotus est contra eos, ut non ipse delerem filios Israel in zelo meo.
12 Therefore say, 'Yahweh says, “Look, I am giving to Phinehas my covenant of peace.
idcirco loquere ad eum: Ecce do ei pacem foederis mei,
13 For him and his descendants after him, it will be a covenant of an everlasting priesthood because he was zealous for me, his God. He has atoned for the people of Israel.”'”
et erit tam ipsi quam semini eius pactum sacerdotii sempiternum, quia zelatus est pro Deo suo, et expiavit scelus filiorum Israel.
14 Now the name of the Israelite man who was killed with the Midianite woman was Zimri son of Salu, a leader of an ancestor's family among the Simeonites.
Erat autem nomen viri Israelitae, qui occisus est cum Madianitide, Zambri filius Salu, dux de cognatione et tribu Simeonis.
15 The name of the Midianite woman who was killed was Kozbi daughter of Zur, who was head of a tribe and family in Midian.
Porro mulier Madianitis, quae pariter interfecta est, vocabatur Cozbi filia Sur principis nobilissimi Madianitarum.
16 So Yahweh spoke to Moses and said,
Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:
17 “Treat the Midianites as enemies and attack them,
Hostes vos sentiant Madianitae, et percutite eos:
18 for they treated you like enemies with their deceitfulness. They led you into evil in the case of Peor and in the case of their sister Kozbi, the daughter of a leader in Midian, who was killed on the day of the plague in the matter of Peor.”
quia et ipsi hostiliter egerunt contra vos, et decepere insidiis per idolum Phogor, et Cozbi filiam ducis Madian sororem suam, quae percussa est in die plagae pro sacrilegio Phogor.
