اَلْعَدَد 25

١ 1 وَأَقَامَ إِسْرَائِيلُ فِي شِطِّيمَ، وَٱبْتَدَأَ ٱلشَّعْبُ يَزْنُونَ مَعَ بَنَاتِ مُوآبَ.

And Israel abode in Shittim. And the people began to play the harlot with the daughters of Moab,

٢ 2 فَدَعَوْنَ ٱلشَّعْبَ إِلَى ذَبَائِحِ آلِهَتِهِنَّ، فَأَكَلَ ٱلشَّعْبُ وَسَجَدُوا لِآلِهَتِهِنَّ.

for they called the people to the sacrifices of their gods. And the people ate, and bowed down to their gods.

٣ 3 وَتَعَلَّقَ إِسْرَائِيلُ بِبَعْلِ فَغُورَ. فَحَمِيَ غَضَبُ ٱلرَّبِّ عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ.

And Israel joined himself to Baal-peor, and the anger of Jehovah was kindled against Israel.

٤ 4 فَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «خُذْ جَمِيعَ رُؤُوسِ ٱلشَّعْبِ وَعَلِّقْهُمْ لِلرَّبِّ مُقَابِلَ ٱلشَّمْسِ، فَيَرْتَدَّ حُمُوُّ غَضَبِ ٱلرَّبِّ عَنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ».

And Jehovah said to Moses, Take all the chiefs of the people, and hang them up to Jehovah before the sun, that the fierce anger of Jehovah may turn away from Israel.

٥ 5 فَقَالَ مُوسَى لِقُضَاةِ إِسْرَائِيلَ: «ٱقْتُلُوا كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ قَوْمَهُ ٱلْمُتَعَلِّقِينَ بِبَعْلِ فَغُورَ».

And Moses said to the judges of Israel, Kill ye every one his men who have joined themselves to Baal-peor.

٦ 6 وَإِذَا رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ جَاءَ وَقَدَّمَ إِلَى إِخْوَتِهِ ٱلْمِدْيَانِيَّةَ، أَمَامَ عَيْنَيْ مُوسَى وَأَعْيُنِ كُلِّ جَمَاعَةِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَهُمْ بَاكُونَ لَدَى بَابِ خَيْمَةِ ٱلِٱجْتِمَاعِ.

And, behold, one of the sons 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 sons of Israel, while they were weeping at the door of the tent of meeting.

٧ 7 فَلَمَّا رَأَى ذَلِكَ فِينْحَاسُ بْنُ أَلِعَازَارَ بْنِ هَارُونَ ٱلْكَاهِنِ، قَامَ مِنْ وَسَطِ ٱلْجَمَاعَةِ وَأَخَذَ رُمْحًا بِيَدِهِ،

And when Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw it, he rose up from the midst of the congregation, and took a spear in his hand.

٨ 8 وَدَخَلَ وَرَاءَ ٱلرَّجُلِ ٱلْإِسْرَائِيلِيِّ إِلَى ٱلْقُبَّةِ وَطَعَنَ كِلَيْهِمَا، ٱلرَّجُلَ ٱلْإِسْرَائِيلِيَّ وَٱلْمَرْأَةَ فِي بَطْنِهَا. فَٱمْتَنَعَ ٱلْوَبَأُ عَنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ.

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 body. So the plague was stayed from the sons of Israel.

٩ 9 وَكَانَ ٱلَّذِينَ مَاتُوا بِٱلْوَبَإِ أَرْبَعَةً وَعِشْرِينَ أَلْفًا.

And those who died by the plague were twenty-four thousand.

١٠ 10 فَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى قَائِلًا:

And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

١١ 11 «فِينْحَاسُ بْنُ أَلِعَازَارَ بْنِ هَارُونَ ٱلْكَاهِنِ قَدْ رَدَّ سَخَطِي عَنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ بِكَوْنِهِ غَارَ غَيْرَتِي فِي وَسَطِهِمْ حَتَّى لَمْ أُفْنِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ بِغَيْرَتِي.

Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, has turned my wrath away from the sons of Israel, in that he was jealous with my jealousy among them, so that I did not consume the sons of Israel in my jealousy.

١٢ 12 لِذَلِكَ قُلْ: هَأَنَذَا أُعْطِيهِ مِيثَاقِي مِيثَاقَ ٱلسَّلَامِ،

Therefore say, Behold, I give to him my covenant of peace.

١٣ 13 فَيَكُونُ لَهُ وَلِنَسْلِهِ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ مِيثَاقَ كَهَنُوتٍ أَبَدِيٍّ، لِأَجْلِ أَنَّهُ غَارَ لِلهِ وَكَفَّرَ عَنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ».

And it shall be to him, and to his seed after him, the covenant of an everlasting priesthood, because he was jealous for his God, and made atonement for the sons of Israel.

١٤ 14 وَكَانَ ٱسْمُ ٱلرَّجُلِ ٱلْإِسْرَائِيلِيِّ ٱلْمَقْتُولِ ٱلَّذِي قُتِلَ مَعَ ٱلْمِدْيَانِيَّةِ، زِمْرِيَ بْنَ سَالُو، رَئِيسَ بَيْتِ أَبٍ مِنَ ٱلشِّمْعُونِيِّينَ.

Now the name of the man of Israel who was slain, who was slain with the Midianite woman, was Zimri, the son of Salu, a ruler of a fathers' house among the Simeonites.

١٥ 15 وَٱسْمُ ٱلْمَرْأَةِ ٱلْمِدْيَانِيَّةِ ٱلْمَقْتُولَةِ كُزْبِيَ بِنْتَ صُورٍ، هُوَ رَئِيسُ قَبَائِلِ بَيْتِ أَبٍ فِي مِدْيَانَ.

And 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.

١٦ 16 ثُمَّ كَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى قَائِلًا:

And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

١٧ 17 «ضَايِقُوا ٱلْمِدْيَانِيِّينَ وَٱضْرِبُوهُمْ،

Vex the Midianites, and smite them,

١٨ 18 لِأَنَّهُمْ ضَايَقُوكُمْ بِمَكَايِدِهِمِ ٱلَّتِي كَادُوكُمْ بِهَا فِي أَمْرِ فَغُورَ وَأَمْرِ كُزْبِي أُخْتِهِمْ بِنْتِ رَئِيسٍ لِمِدْيَانَ، ٱلَّتِي قُتِلَتْ يَوْمَ ٱلْوَبَإِ بِسَبَبِ فَغُورَ».

for they vex you with their wiles, with which they have beguiled you in the matter of Peor, and in the matter of Cozbi, the daughter of the ruler of Midian, their sister, who was slain on the day of the plague in the matter of Peor.
