Числа 25
1 И живяше Израиль в Саттиме, и осквернишася людие блужением со дщерми Моавли:
Israel stayed in Shittim; and the people began to play the prostitute with the daughters of Moab;
2 и призваша я в требы кумир своих, и ядоша людие требы их и поклонишася кумиром их:
for they called the people to the sacrifices of their gods. The people ate and bowed down to their gods.
3 и причастися Израиль Веельфегору, и разгневася яростию Господь на Израиля.
Israel joined himself to Baal Peor, and Yahweh’s anger burned against Israel.
4 И рече Господь к Моисею: поими вся князи людския, и обличи я Господу прямо солнцу, и отвратится гнев ярости Господни от Израиля.
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 И рече Моисей к племенем Израилским: избийте кийждо ужика своего служившаго Веельфегору.
Moses said to the judges of Israel, “Everyone kill his men who have joined themselves to Baal Peor.”
6 И се, человек от сынов Израилевых пришед приведе брата своего к Мадианитыне пред Моисеем и пред всем сонмом Израилевым: сии же плакахуся пред дверми скинии свидения.
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 И видев Финеес, сын Елеазара сына Аарона жерца, воста из среды сонма, и взем сулицу в руку,
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 вниде вслед человека Израилтянина в блудилище, и прободе обоих, и человека Израилтянина, и жену сквозе ложесна ея: и преста вред от сынов Израилевых.
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 И быша умершии язвою двадесять четыри тысящы.
Those who died by the plague were twenty-four thousand.
10 И рече Господь к Моисею, глаголя:
Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
11 Финеес сын Елеазара сына Аарона жерца утоли гнев Мой от сынов Израилевых, егда возревнова ревность Моя в них, и не потребих сынов Израилевых в ревности Моей:
“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 тако рцы: се, Аз даю ему заветзавет Мой мирный,
Therefore say, ‘Behold, I give to him my covenant of peace.
13 и будет ему и семени его по нем завет жречества вечный, понеже возревнова по Бозе своем и умилостиви о сынех Израилевых.
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 Имя же человеку Израилтянину, егоже уби с Мадианитынею, Замврий сын Салмонь, князь дому отечества сынов Симеоних:
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 и имя жене Мадианитыне прободеной Хазви, дщи Сура, князя рода Соммофова, дому отечества есть Мадиамля.
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 И рече Господь к Моисею, глаголя: рцы сыном Израилевым, глаголя:
Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
17 враждуйте Мадианитом и бийте я:
“Harass the Midianites, and strike them;
18 зане враждуют вам сии лестию, елико прельщают вас Фогором и Хазвиею дщерию князя Мадиамля, сестрою своею прободеною, в день язвы Фогора ради.
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.”
