गणना 25
While the Israelis were camped at a place called Acacia [Grove], some of the men caused themselves to become unacceptable to God by having sex with some of the women of the Moab [people-group who lived in that area].
2 २ मवाबाच्या स्त्रियांनी पुरुषांना त्यांच्या देवांच्या अर्पणात आमंत्रण दिले. तेव्हा लोक जेवले व त्यांनी त्यांच्या देवांना नमन केले.
Then those women invited the men to come when the sacrifices were being offered to their gods. The Israeli men [accepted]. They went to the feasts with the women and worshiped the gods of the Moab people-group.
3 ३ इस्राएल लोकांनी बआल-पौराच्या देवांची उपासना करायला सुरुवात केली आणि परमेश्वराचा राग इस्राएलांवर भडकला.
By doing that, those Israeli people joined the women in worshiping the god Baal [add] the Moab people-group thought lived on Peor Mountain. That caused Yahweh to become very angry with his people.
4 ४ परमेश्वर मोशेला म्हणाला, “त्या सर्व लोकांच्या पुढाऱ्यांना आण, नंतर त्यांना परमेश्वराकरता भरदिवसा फाशी दे म्हणजे परमेश्वराचा इस्राएलावर भडकलेला राग जाईल.”
Yahweh said this to Moses/me: “Seize all the leaders of those men who are doing this and execute them while I am watching. Do that in the daytime. After you do that, I will no longer be angry with the Israeli people.”
5 ५ मोशे इस्राएलच्या न्यायधिशांना म्हणाला, “तुम्ही प्रत्येकाने आपआपल्या ताब्यातील पुरुष बआल-पौराच्या देवांची उपासना करतात त्या सर्वांना तुम्ही मारून टाका.”
So Moses/I said to the other Israeli leaders, “Each of you must execute your men who have joined [others] in worshiping Baal.”
6 ६ त्यावेळी मोशे आणि इस्राएलची वडीलधारी मंडळी जमली होती. एका इस्राएली मनुष्याने एक मिद्यानी स्त्री त्यांच्यासमोर आपल्या भावाच्या घरी आणली. मोशे आणि इतर वडीलधारी (पुढारी) यांनी ते पाहिले आणि ते तर दर्शनमंडपाशी रडत होते.
[But later], while Moses/I and many [HYP] other people were crying at the entrance of the Sacred Tent, while they/we were watching, one of the Israeli men brought a woman from the Midian people-group into his tent [and started to have sex with her].
7 ७ जेव्हा फिनहास एलाजाराचा मुलगा, याजक अहरोन याचा नातू याने ते पाहिले, तेव्हा तो मंडळीमधून उठला आणि त्याने त्याच्या हातात भाला घेतला.
When Phinehas, who was the grandson of Aaron, saw that, he grabbed a spear
8 ८ तो त्या इस्राएली मनुष्याचा मागे त्याच्या तंबूत गेला आणि त्याने त्या दोघांच्या म्हणजे इस्राएली मनुष्याच्या व त्या स्त्रीच्या पोटात भाला आरपार खुपसला. त्यावेळी इस्राएल लोकांमध्ये पसरलेली मरी बंद झाली.
and rushed into the man’s tent. He thrust the spear completely through the man’s body and into the woman’s belly [and killed both of them]. When he did that, the (plague/serious illness) [that had started to strike the Israelis] stopped.
But 24,000 people had already died [from that plague].
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,
11 ११ एलाजाराचा मुलगा फिनहास याजक अहरोनाच्या नातवाने इस्राएल लोकांस माझ्या ईर्ष्येने पेटून इस्राएलावरील माझा राग दूर केला. म्हणून मला आधी वाटत होते त्याप्रमाणे मी त्यांचा नाश केला नाही.
“Phinehas has caused me to stop being angry with the Israeli people, by being as eager as I am [to stop this sinful behavior]. I was ready to get rid of all the Israeli people because I was extremely angry, but Phinehas has prevented me from doing that.
Now tell him that I am making a special peace agreement with him.
13 १३ हा त्यास आणि त्याच्यामागे त्याच्या वंशजाना सर्वकाळ याजकपणाचा करार होईल. कारण तो आपल्या देवाबद्दल खूप आवेशी झाला. आणि त्याने इस्राएलाच्या वंशासाठी प्रायश्चित केले.
In this agreement, I am promising to give to him and to his descendants the right/authority to be priests. I am doing this because [he showed that] he was very eager to honor me, his God, by stopping this sinful behavior. He has caused the Israeli people to become acceptable to me again by causing them to be forgiven for their sin.”
14 १४ “मिद्यानी स्त्री बरोबर जो इस्राएली मनुष्य मारला गेला होता त्याचे नाव जिम्री होते. तो सालूचा मुलगा होता. तो शिमोनी वंशातील एका घराण्याचा प्रमुख होता.”
The Israeli man who was killed with the woman of the Moab people-group was named Zimri. He was the son of Salu, who was the leader of a family from the tribe of Simeon.
15 १५ आणि मारल्या गेलेल्या मिद्यानी स्त्रीचे नाव कजबी होते. ती सूरची मुलगी होती. सूर मिद्यानी कुटुंबाचा प्रमुख होता व पुढारी होता.
The woman’s name was Cozbi. She was the daughter of Zur, who was the leader of one of the clans of the Midian people-group.
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,
“[Take your men and] attack the Midian people-group and kill them.
18 १८ कारण त्यांनी तुला आपल्या कपटाने शत्रूसारखे वागवले. त्यांनी तुला पौराच्या वाईट गोष्टींच्या बाबतीत आणि मिद्यानाच्या अधिपतीची मुलगी कजबी, त्यांची बहीण, जी पौराच्या प्रकरणात मरी पसरली तेव्हा ती मारली गेली, तिच्या गोष्टीने ते तुम्हास जाचतात.”
They have become your enemies, because they tricked you Israeli people and induced/persuaded many of you to worship Baal, and because [one of your men had sex with] Cozbi, who was the daughter of a leader of the Midian people-group. She was killed at the time the plague [started because the people sinned] at Peor [Mountain].”
