Bilangan 25
1 Sementara bangsa Israel tinggal di Lembah Sitim, orang-orang lelaki mereka mulai berzinah dengan wanita-wanita Moab yang ada di situ.
Israel stayed in Shittim; and the people began to play the prostitute with the daughters of Moab;
2 Wanita-wanita itu mengajak mereka ke pesta-pesta kurban untuk menghormati ilah mereka. Orang Israel juga ikut makan kurban itu dan menyembah ilah orang Moab.
for they called the people to the sacrifices of their gods. The people ate and bowed down to their gods.
3 Karena orang Israel menyembah Baal di Peor, TUHAN marah kepada mereka dan berkata kepada Musa,
Israel joined himself to Baal Peor, and Yahweh’s anger burned against Israel.
4 "Tangkaplah semua orang yang mengepalai bangsa itu dan bunuhlah mereka di depan umum sebagai pelaksanaan perintah-Ku, supaya Aku tidak marah lagi kepada bangsa itu."
Yahweh said to Moses, “Take all the chiefs of the people, and hang them up to Yahweh before the sun, that the fierce anger of Yahweh may turn away from Israel.”
5 Kemudian Musa berkata kepada hakim-hakim Israel, "Kamu masing-masing harus membunuh semua orang dalam sukumu yang telah menyembah Baal di Peor."
Moses said to the judges of Israel, “Everyone kill his men who have joined themselves to Baal Peor.”
6 Ketika Musa dan seluruh umat sedang meratap di pintu Kemah TUHAN, mereka melihat seorang Israel membawa seorang wanita Midian masuk ke dalam kemahnya.
Behold, one of the children of Israel came and brought to his brothers a Midianite woman in the sight of Moses, and in the sight of all the congregation of the children of Israel, while they were weeping at the door of the Tent of Meeting.
7 Waktu Pinehas, anak Eleazar, cucu Imam Harun melihat hal itu, ia bangkit dan meninggalkan perkumpulan itu. Diambilnya sebuah tombak
When Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw it, he rose up from the middle of the congregation, and took a spear in his hand.
8 lalu dikejarnya laki-laki dan wanita itu ke dalam kemah. Kedua orang itu ditikamnya dengan tombak itu maka berhentilah bencana yang sedang berkecamuk di Israel itu.
He went after the man of Israel into the pavilion, and thrust both of them through, the man of Israel, and the woman through her body. So the plague was stopped among the children of Israel.
9 Tetapi sementara itu yang mati sudah ada 24.000 orang.
Those who died by the plague were twenty-four thousand.
10 Lalu TUHAN berkata kepada Musa,
Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
11 "Pinehas anak Eleazar, cucu Imam Harun, dengan giat membela kehormatan-Ku di tengah-tengah orang Israel, sehingga kemarahan-Ku reda dan Aku tidak jadi membinasakan bangsa itu.
“Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, has turned my wrath away from the children of Israel, in that he was jealous with my jealousy among them, so that I didn’t consume the children of Israel in my jealousy.
12 Jadi katakanlah kepada Pinehas bahwa Aku membuat suatu perjanjian dengan dia.
Therefore say, ‘Behold, I give to him my covenant of peace.
13 Dia dan keturunannya Kutetapkan sebagai imam untuk selama-lamanya, karena dia dengan begitu giat telah membela Aku, Allahnya, dan telah mengadakan perdamaian bagi dosa orang Israel."
It shall be to him, and to his offspring after him, the covenant of an everlasting priesthood, because he was jealous for his God, and made atonement for the children of Israel.’”
14 Orang Israel yang dibunuh bersama wanita Midian itu bernama Zimri, anak Salu, kepala suatu keluarga dari suku Simeon.
Now the name of the man of Israel that was slain, who was slain with the Midianite woman, was Zimri, the son of Salu, a prince of a fathers’ house among the Simeonites.
15 Wanita itu bernama Kozbi; ia anak Zur, seorang kepala kaum di Midian.
The name of the Midianite woman who was slain was Cozbi, the daughter of Zur. He was head of the people of a fathers’ house in Midian.
16 TUHAN memberi perintah ini kepada Musa,
Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
17 "Lawanlah orang Midian, dan binasakanlah mereka
“Harass the Midianites, and strike them;
18 karena kejahatan yang telah mereka rencanakan terhadap kamu di Peor, dan karena Kozbi anak seorang kepala kaum di Midian. Kozbi itu wanita yang mati dibunuh waktu terjadi bencana karena peristiwa di Peor."
for they harassed you with their wiles, wherein they have deceived you in the matter of Peor, and in the incident regarding Cozbi, the daughter of the prince of Midian, their sister, who was slain on the day of the plague in the matter of Peor.”
