Numbers 25

morabatur autem eo tempore Israhel in Setthim et fornicatus est populus cum filiabus Moab

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

quae vocaverunt eos ad sacrificia sua at illi comederunt et adoraverunt deos earum

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

initiatusque est Israhel Beelphegor et iratus Dominus

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

ait ad Mosen tolle cunctos principes populi et suspende eos contra solem in patibulis ut avertatur furor meus ab Israhel

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.

dixitque Moses ad iudices Israhel occidat unusquisque proximos suos qui initiati sunt Beelphegor

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

et ecce unus de filiis Israhel intravit coram fratribus suis ad scortum madianitin vidente Mose et omni turba filiorum Israhel qui flebant ante fores tabernaculi

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.

quod cum vidisset Finees filius Eleazari filii Aaron sacerdotis surrexit de medio multitudinis et arrepto pugione

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;

ingressus est post virum israhelitem in lupanar et perfodit ambos simul virum scilicet et mulierem in locis genitalibus cessavitque plaga a filiis Israhel

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.

et occisi sunt viginti quattuor milia homines

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

dixitque Dominus ad Mosen

And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

Finees filius Eleazari filii Aaron sacerdotis avertit iram meam a filiis Israhel quia zelo meo commotus est contra eos ut non ipse delerem filios Israhel in zelo meo

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.

idcirco loquere ad eos ecce do ei pacem foederis mei

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

et erit tam ipsi quam semini illius pactum sacerdotii sempiternum quia zelatus est pro Deo suo et expiavit scelus filiorum Israhel

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.

erat autem nomen viri israhelitae qui occisus est cum Madianitide Zambri filius Salu dux de cognatione et tribu Symeonis

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.

porro mulier madianitis quae pariter interfecta est vocabatur Chozbi filia Sur principis nobilissimi Madianitarum

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.

locutusque est Dominus ad Mosen dicens

And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

hostes vos sentiant Madianitae et percutite eos

Vex the Midianites, and smite them:

quia et ipsi hostiliter egerunt contra vos et decepere insidiis per idolum Phogor et Chozbi filiam ducis Madian sororem suam quae percussa est in die plagae pro sacrilegio Phogor

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.
