Числа 25
1 И жил Израиль в Ситтиме, и начал народ блудодействовать с дочерями Моава,
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 и приглашали они народ к жертвам богов своих, и ел народ жертвы их и кланялся богам их.
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 И прилепился Израиль к Ваал-Фегору. И воспламенился гнев Господень на Израиля.
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 И сказал Господь Моисею: возьми всех начальников народа и повесь их Господу перед солнцем, и отвратится от Израиля ярость гнева Господня.
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 И сказал Моисей судьям Израилевым: убейте каждый людей своих, прилепившихся к Ваал-Фегору.
So Moses/I said to the other Israeli leaders, “Each of you must execute your men who have joined [others] in worshiping Baal.”
6 И вот, некто из сынов Израилевых пришел и привел к братьям своим Мадианитянку, в глазах Моисея и в глазах всего общества сынов Израилевых, когда они плакали у входа скинии собрания.
[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 Финеес, сын Елеазара, сына Аарона священника, увидев это, встал из среды общества и взял в руку свою копье,
When Phinehas, who was the grandson of Aaron, saw that, he grabbed a spear
8 и вошел вслед за Израильтянином в спальню и пронзил обоих их, Израильтянина и женщину в чрево ее: и прекратилось поражение сынов Израилевых.
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.
9 Умерших же от поражения было двадцать четыре тысячи.
But 24,000 people had already died [from that plague].
10 И сказал Господь Моисею, говоря:
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,
11 Финеес, сын Елеазара, сына Аарона священника, отвратил ярость Мою от сынов Израилевых, возревновав по Мне среди их, и Я не истребил сынов Израилевых в ревности Моей;
“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.
12 посему скажи: вот, Я даю ему Мой завет мира,
Now tell him that I am making a special peace agreement with him.
13 и будет он ему и потомству его по нем заветом священства вечного, за то, что он показал ревность по Боге своем и заступил сынов Израилевых.
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 Имя убитого Израильтянина, который убит с Мадианитянкою, было Зимри, сын Салу, начальник поколения Симеонова;
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 а имя убитой Мадианитянки Хазва; она была дочь Цура, начальника Оммофа, племени Мадиамского.
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.
16 И сказал Господь Моисею, говоря:
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,
17 враждуйте с Мадианитянами, и поражайте их,
“[Take your men and] attack the Midian people-group and kill them.
18 ибо они враждебно поступили с вами в коварстве своем, прельстив вас Фегором и Хазвою, дочерью начальника Мадиамского, сестрою своею, убитою в день поражения за Фегора.
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].”
