4 Mojzes 25
1 Izrael je prebival v Šitímu in ljudstvo se je začelo vlačugati z moábskimi hčerami.
And Israel abode in Shittim, and the people began to commit harlotry with the daughters of Moab.
2 Ljudstvo so poklicali k žrtvovanjem njihovih bogov, in ljudstvo je jedlo in se priklonilo njihovim bogovom.
And they called the people to the sacrifices of their gods: and the people ate, and bowed down to their gods.
3 Izrael se je pridružil Báal Peórju in Gospodova jeza je bila vžgana zoper Izrael.
And Israel joined himself to Baalpeor: and the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel.
4 Gospod je rekel Mojzesu: »Vzemi vse poglavarje ljudstva in jih obesi pred Gospodom, nasproti soncu, da se bo kruta Gospodova jeza lahko odvrnila od Izraela.«
And the LORD said to Moses, Take all the heads of the people, and hang them up before the LORD before the sun, that the fierce anger of the LORD may be turned away from Israel.
5 Mojzes je rekel Izraelovim sodnikom: »Vsak naj ubije svoje može, ki so bili pridruženi Báal Peórju.«
And Moses said to the judges of Israel, Slay ye every one his men that were joined to Baalpeor.
6 Glej, eden izmed Izraelovih otrok je prišel in k svojim bratom privedel midjánsko žensko pred očmi Mojzesa in pred očmi vse skupnosti Izraelovih otrok, ki so jokali pred vrati šotorskega svetišča skupnosti.
And, behold, one of the children of Israel came and brought to his brethren a Midianitish woman in the sight of Moses, and in the sight of all the congregation of the children of Israel, who were weeping before the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
7 Ko je Pinhás, sin Eleazarja, sin duhovnika Arona, to videl, je vstal izmed skupnosti in v svojo roko vzel kopje
And when Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw it, he rose from among the congregation, and took a javelin in his hand;
8 in odšel za Izraelovim možem v šotor in oba izmed njiju prebodel, Izraelovega moškega in žensko je prebodel skozi njen trebuh. Tako je bila kuga ustavljena pred Izraelovimi otroki.
And he went after the man of Israel into the tent, and thrust both of them through, the man of Israel, and the woman through her belly. So the plague was stayed from the children of Israel.
9 Teh, ki so v kugi umrli, je bilo štiriindvajset tisoč.
And those that died in the plague were twenty and four thousand.
10 Gospod je spregovoril Mojzesu, rekoč:
And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
11 »Pinhás, sin Eleazarja, sin duhovnika Arona, je moj bes odvrnil proč od Izraelovih otrok, medtem ko je bil med njimi goreč zaradi mene, da ne bi jaz v svoji ljubosumnosti použil Izraelovih otrok.
Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, hath turned my wrath away from the children of Israel, while he was zealous for my sake among them, that I consumed not the children of Israel in my jealousy.
12 Zato reci: ›Glej, dam mu svojo zavezo miru
Therefore say, Behold, I give to him my covenant of peace:
13 in imel jo bo in njegovo seme za njim, celó zavezo večnega duhovništva, ker je bil goreč za svojega Boga in opravil spravo za Izraelove otroke.‹«
And he shall have it, and his seed after him, even the covenant of an everlasting priesthood; because he was zealous for his God, and made an atonement for the children of Israel.
14 Torej ime Izraelca, ki je bil umorjen, torej tistega, ki je bil umorjen z Midjánko, je bilo Salújev sin Zimrí, princ glavne hiše med Simeonovci.
Now the name of the Israelite that was slain, even that was slain with the Midianitish woman, was Zimri, the son of Salu, a prince of a chief house among the Simeonites.
15 Ime midjánske ženske, ki je bila umorjena, je bilo Kozbí, hči Cura. On je bil poglavar nad ljudstvom in vodja hiše v Midjánu.
And the name of the Midianitish woman that was slain was Cozbi, the daughter of Zur; he was head over a people, and of a chief house in Midian.
16 Gospod je spregovoril Mojzesu, rekoč:
And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
17 »Jezite Midjánce in jih udarite,
Distress the Midianites, and smite them:
18 kajti jezili so vas s svojimi zvijačami, s katerimi so vas preslepili v zadevi Peórja in v zadevi Kozbí, hčere midjánskega princa, njihove sestre, ki je bila umorjena na dan nadloge zaradi Peórja.«
For they distress you with their wiles, by which they have beguiled you in the matter of Peor, and in the matter of Cozbi, the daughter of a prince of Midian, their sister, who was slain in the day of the plague for Peor’s sake.
