Numbers 25

Dok je Izrael boravio u Šitimu, narod se upusti u blud s Moapkama.

And Israel abode in Shittim, and the people began to commit whoredom with the daughters of Moab.

One pozivahu narod na žrtvovanje svojim bogovima, a narod sudjelovaše u njihovim gozbama i klanjaše se njihovim bogovima.

And they called the people unto the sacrifices of their gods: and the people did eat, and bowed down to their gods.

Tako se Izrael osramoti s Baalom peorskim. I Jahve planu gnjevom na Izraela.

And Israel joined himself unto Baal–peor: and the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel.

"Pokupi sve narodne glavare", reče Jahve Mojsiju. "Objesi ih Jahvi usred bijela dana da se Jahvin gnjev odvrati od Izraela."

And the LORD said unto Moses, Take all the heads of the people, and hang them up before the LORD against the sun, that the fierce anger of the LORD may be turned away from Israel.

Onda Mojsije rekne izraelskim sucima: "Neka svatko pobije one svoje ljude koji su se osramotili s Baalom peorskim."

And Moses said unto the judges of Israel, Slay ye every one his men that were joined unto Baal–peor.

Baš tada neki Izraelac dođe i dovede k svojoj braći jednu Midjanku naočigled Mojsija i naočigled sve izraelske zajednice koja zaplaka na ulazu u Šator sastanka.

And, behold, one of the children of Israel came and brought unto 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.

Kad to opazi Pinhas, sin Eleazara, sina svećenika Arona, ustade ispred zajednice: uze koplje u ruku

And when Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw it, he rose up from among the congregation, and took a javelin in his hand;

i pođe za Izraelcem u odaje i probode ih oboje, Izraelca i ženu; nju kroza slabine. Tako pomor Izraelaca prestade.

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.

A onih koji su od pomora pomrli bilo je dvadeset i četiri tisuće.

And those that died in the plague were twenty and four thousand.

Jahve reče Mojsiju:

And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

"Pinhas, sin Eleazara, sina svećenika Arona, odvratio je moj gnjev od Izraelaca, obuzet među njima mojim revnovanjem. Zato u svome revnovanju nisam istrijebio izraelskoga naroda.

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.

Kaži mu dakle: 'S njime, evo, sklapam savez mira.

Wherefore say, Behold, I give unto him my covenant of peace:

Neka to bude za nj i njegove potomke poslije njega savez vječnoga svećeništva, jer je revnovao za svoga Boga i izvršio pomirenje za izraelski narod.'"

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.

Ime Izraelcu koji je bio ubijen - onome što je ubijen s Midjankom - bijaše Zimri. Bio je sin Salua, glavara jedne od Šimunovih porodica.

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.

A ime ubijene žene Midjanke bijaše Kozbi. Bila je kći Surova. Sur je bio glavar jednog plemena, jedne porodice u Midjanu.

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.

Jahve reče Mojsiju:

And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

"Navali na Midjance i potuci ih,

Vex the Midianites, and smite them:

jer su i oni navaljivali na vas svojim lukavštinama kad su lukavo radili protiv vas u slučaju Peora i svoje sestre Kozbi, kćeri glavara midjanskoga, koja je zaglavila u vrijeme pomora nastalog zbog Peora."

For they vex you with their wiles, wherewith they have beguiled you in the matter of Peor, and in the matter of Cozbi, the daughter of a prince of Midian, their sister, which was slain in the day of the plague for Peor's sake.
