民数記 25
1 イスラエルはシッテムに止まり居けるがその民モアブの婦女等と婬をおこなふことを始めたり
And Israel at that time abode in Settim, and the people committed fornication with the daughters of Moab,
2 その婦女等其神々に犠牲を献る時に民を招けば民は往て食ふことを爲しかつその神々を拝めり
Who called them to their sacrifices. And they ate of them, and adored their gods.
3 イスラエルかくバアルベオルに附ければイスラエルにむかひてヱホバ怒を發したまへり
And Israel was initiated to Beelphegor: upon which the Lord being angry,
4 ヱホバすなはちモーセに告て言たまはく民の首をことごとく携きたりヱホバのためにかの者等を日に曝せ然せばヱホバの烈しき怒イスラエルを離るるあらんと
Said to Moses: Take all the princes of the people, and hang them up on gibbets against the sun: that my fury may be turned away from Israel.
5 是においてモーセ、イスラエルの士師等にむかひ汝らおのおのその配下の人々のバアルベオルに附る者を殺せと言り
And Moses said to the judges of Israel: Let every man kill his neighbours, that have been initiated to Beelphegor.
6 モーセとイスラエルの子孫の全會衆集合の幕屋の門にて哭をる時一箇のイスラエル人ミデアンの婦人一箇を携きたり彼らの目の前にてその兄弟等の中に至れり
And behold one of the children of Israel went in before his brethren to a harlot of Madian, in the sight of Moses, and of all the children of Israel, who were weeping before the door of the tabernacle.
7 祭司アロンの子なるエレアザルの子ピネハスこれを見會衆の中より起あがりて槍を手に執り
And when Phinees the son of Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest saw it, he rose up from the midst; of the multitude, and taking a dagger,
8 そのイスラエルの人の後を追て之が寝室に入りイスラエルの人を衝きまたその婦女の腹を衝とほして二人を殺せり是において疫病のイスラエルの子孫におよぶこと止れり
Went in after the Israelite into the brothel house, and thrust both of them through together, to wit, the man and the woman in the genital parts. And the scourge ceased from the children of Israel:
9 その疫病にて死たる者は二萬四千人なりき
And there were slain four and twenty thousand men.
10 ヱホバ、モーセに告て言たまはく
And the Lord said to Moses:
11 祭司アロンの子なるエレアザルの子ピネハスはわが熱心をイスラエルの子孫の中にあらはして吾怒をその中より取去り我として熱心をもてイスラエルの子孫を滅し盡すにいたらざらしめたり
Phinees the son of Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, hath turned away my wrath from the children of Israel: because he was moved with my zeal against them, that I myself might not destroy the children of Israel in my zeal.
12 故に汝言へ我これに平和のわが契約をさづく
Therefore say to him: Behold I give him the peace of my covenant,
13 即ち彼とその後の子孫永く祭司の職を得べし是は彼その神のために熱心にしてイスラエルの子孫のために贖をなしたればなり
And the covenant of the priesthood for ever shall be both to him and his seed, because he hath been zealous for his God, and hath made atonement for the wickedness of the children of Israel.
14 その殺されしイスラエル人すなはちミデアンの婦人とともに殺されし者はその名をジムリと言てサルの子にしてシメオン人の宗族の牧伯の一人なり
And the name of the Israelite, was slain with the woman of Madian, was Zambri the son of Salu, a prince the kindred and tribe of Simeon.
15 またその殺されしミデアンの婦人は名をコズビと曰てツルの女子なりツルはミデアンの民の宗族の首なり
And the Madianite woman, that was slain with him, was called Cozbi the daughter of Sur, a most noble prince among the Madianites.
16 ヱホバ、モーセに告て言たまはく
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
17 ミデアン人に逼りてこれを撃て
Let the Madianites find you enemies, and slay you them:
18 其は彼ら謀計をもて汝に逼りペオルの事とその姉妹なるミデアンの牧伯の女すなはちペオルのために疫病の起れる日に殺されしコズビの事において汝らを惑したればなり
Because they also have acted like enemies against you, and have guilefully deceived you by the idol Phogor, and Cozbi their sister, a daughter of a prince of Madian, who was slain in the day the plague for the sacrilege of Phogor.
