Numbers 25
1 Israel stayed in Shittim, and the men began to prostitute themselves with women of Moab,
Med Israels-folket heldt til i Sittim, tok folket til å fljuga etter kvinnorne i 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.
Og Moabs-kvinnorne bad deim til blotveitslorne åt guden sin; so åt dei med deim og bøygde kne for guden deira;
3 The men of Israel joined in worshiping Baal of Peor, and Yahweh's anger was kindled against Israel.
Israel tydde seg til Ba’al-Peor. Då vart Herren brennande harm på Israel,
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.”
og Herren sagde til Moses: «Tak med deg alle Israels hovdingar, og legg desse mennerne på stegl for Guds og alle manns augo, so Herrens brennande vreide kann vendast burt frå Israel!»
5 So Moses said to Israel's leaders, “Each of you must execute his people who have joined in worshiping Baal of Peor.”
Og Moses sagde til styresmennerne i Israel: «Kvar av dykk skal slå i hel deim av folki sine som hev halde seg til Ba’al-Peor!»
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.
Best det var, kom ein av Israels-sønerne med ei kvinna frå Midjan, og leidde henne heim til sitt eige folk midt for augo på Moses og heile Israels-lyden, med dei sat og syrgde i møtetjelddøri.
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.
Då Pinehas, son åt Eleazar og soneson åt Aron, øvstepresten, såg det, steig han fram or lyden, og treiv eit spjot
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.
og gjekk etter mannen inn i koven, og rende spjotet gjenom deim båe, mannen og kvinna, so det gjekk inn i livet hennar. Då stanna sotti som herja Israels-folket.
9 Those who died by the plague were twenty-four thousand in number.
Men talet på deim som døydde i sotti, var fire og tjuge tusund.
10 Yahweh spoke to Moses and said,
Og Herren tala til Moses, og sagde:
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.
«Pinehas, son åt Eleazar og soneson åt Aron, øvstepresten, hev vendt vreiden min burt frå Israels-folket; etter di han stod so strengt på min rett, vilde ikkje eg vera so streng at eg gjorde ende på Israels-borni.
12 Therefore say, 'Yahweh says, “Look, I am giving to Phinehas my covenant of peace.
Difor skal du segja honom at eg vil gjera samband med honom, so det skal ganga honom vel;
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.”'”
ævelegt prestedøme lovar eg honom og ætti hans etter honom, for di han var so vyrk for æra åt sin Gud og gjorde soning for Israels-folket.»
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.
Den drepne israeliten, han som vart drepen i hop med den midjanitiske kvinna, heitte Zimri Saluson; han var formann for ei grein av Simeons-ætti.
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.
Og midjanitkvinna som vart drepi, heitte Kozbi; ho var dotter åt Sur, som var hovding yver ei ættgrein av midjanitarne.
16 So Yahweh spoke to Moses and said,
Og Herren tala til Moses, og sagde:
17 “Treat the Midianites as enemies and attack them,
«De skal søkja åt midjanitarne og slå deim ned;
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.”
for dei sat um dykk og lagde svikråder mot dykk då det hende, dette med Peor og Kozbi, frenka deira, hovdingdotteri frå Midjan, som vart drepi den gongen sotti kom yver dykk for Peors skuld.»
