Numbers 25

1 And Israel dwelleth in Shittim, and the people begin to go a-whoring unto daughters of Moab,

morabatur autem eo tempore Israhel in Setthim et fornicatus est populus cum filiabus Moab

2 and they call for the people to the sacrifices of their gods, and the people eat, and bow themselves to their gods,

quae vocaverunt eos ad sacrificia sua at illi comederunt et adoraverunt deos earum

3 and Israel is joined to Baal-Peor, and the anger of Jehovah burneth against Israel.

initiatusque est Israhel Beelphegor et iratus Dominus

4 And Jehovah saith unto Moses, 'Take all the chiefs of the people, and hang them before Jehovah — over-against the sun; and the fierceness of the anger of Jehovah doth turn back from Israel.'

ait ad Mosen tolle cunctos principes populi et suspende eos contra solem in patibulis ut avertatur furor meus ab Israhel

5 And Moses saith unto the judges of Israel, 'Slay ye each his men who are joined to Baal-Peor.'

dixitque Moses ad iudices Israhel occidat unusquisque proximos suos qui initiati sunt Beelphegor

6 And lo, a man of the sons of Israel hath come, and bringeth in unto his brethren the Midianitess, before the eyes of Moses, and before the eyes of all the company of the sons of Israel, who are weeping at the opening of the tent of meeting;

et ecce unus de filiis Israhel intravit coram fratribus suis ad scortum madianitin vidente Mose et omni turba filiorum Israhel qui flebant ante fores tabernaculi

7 and Phinehas, son of Eleazar, son of Aaron, the priest, seeth, and riseth from the midst of the company, and taketh a javelin in his hand,

quod cum vidisset Finees filius Eleazari filii Aaron sacerdotis surrexit de medio multitudinis et arrepto pugione

8 and goeth in after the man of Israel unto the hollow place, and pierceth them both, the man of Israel and the woman — unto her belly, and the plague is restrained from the sons of Israel;

ingressus est post virum israhelitem in lupanar et perfodit ambos simul virum scilicet et mulierem in locis genitalibus cessavitque plaga a filiis Israhel

9 and the dead by the plague are four and twenty thousand.

et occisi sunt viginti quattuor milia homines

10 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

dixitque Dominus ad Mosen

11 'Phinehas, son of Eleazar, son of Aaron the priest, hath turned back My fury from the sons of Israel, by his being zealous with My zeal in their midst, and I have not consumed the sons of Israel in My zeal.

Finees filius Eleazari filii Aaron sacerdotis avertit iram meam a filiis Israhel quia zelo meo commotus est contra eos ut non ipse delerem filios Israhel in zelo meo

12 'Therefore say, Lo, I am giving to him My covenant of peace,

idcirco loquere ad eos ecce do ei pacem foederis mei

13 and it hath been to him and to his seed after him a covenant of a priesthood age-during, because that he hath been zealous for his God, and doth make atonement for the sons of Israel.'

et erit tam ipsi quam semini illius pactum sacerdotii sempiternum quia zelatus est pro Deo suo et expiavit scelus filiorum Israhel

14 And the name of the man of Israel who is smitten, who hath been smitten with the Midianitess, [is] Zimri son of Salu, prince of the house of a father of the Simeonite;

erat autem nomen viri israhelitae qui occisus est cum Madianitide Zambri filius Salu dux de cognatione et tribu Symeonis

15 and the name of the woman who is smitten, the Midianitess, [is] Cozbi daughter of Zur, head of a people — of the house of a father in Midian [is] he.

porro mulier madianitis quae pariter interfecta est vocabatur Chozbi filia Sur principis nobilissimi Madianitarum

16 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

locutusque est Dominus ad Mosen dicens

17 'Distress the Midianites, and ye have smitten them,

hostes vos sentiant Madianitae et percutite eos

18 for they are adversaries to you with their frauds, [with] which they have acted fraudulently to you, concerning the matter of Peor, and concerning the matter of Cozbi, daughter of a prince of Midian, their sister, who is smitten in the day of the plague for the matter of Peor.'

quia et ipsi hostiliter egerunt contra vos et decepere insidiis per idolum Phogor et Chozbi filiam ducis Madian sororem suam quae percussa est in die plagae pro sacrilegio Phogor
