4 Mosebog 25
1 Og Israel boede i Sittim, og Folket begyndte at bedrive Hor med Moabiternes Døtre.
Israel stayed in Shittim; and the people began to play the prostitute with the daughters of Moab;
2 Og de indbøde Folket til deres Guders Ofre; og Folket aad, og de tilbade deres Guder.
for they called the people to the sacrifices of their gods. The people ate and bowed down to their gods.
3 Og Israel lod sig koble til Baal-Peor; da optændtes Herrens Vrede imod Israel.
Israel joined himself to Baal Peor, and the LORD’s anger burnt against Israel.
4 Og Herren sagde til Mose: Hent alle de Øverste for Folket og lad hine ophænge for Herren imod Solen; saa skal Herrens brændende Vrede vendes fra Israel.
The LORD said to Moses, “Take all the chiefs of the people, and hang them up to the LORD before the sun, that the fierce anger of the LORD may turn away from Israel.”
5 Og Mose sagde til Israels Dommere: Hver ihjelslaa sine Folk, som have ladet sig koble til Baal-Peor.
Moses said to the judges of Israel, “Everyone kill his men who have joined themselves to Baal Peor.”
6 Og se, en Mand af Israels Børn kom og førte en midianitisk Kvinde frem til sine Brødre, for Mose Øjne og for al Israels Børns Menigheds Øjne; og disse græd ved Forsamlingens Pauluns Dør.
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 Og Pinehas, en Søn af Eleasar, der var en Søn af Præsten Aron, saa det; og han stod op midt i Menigheden og tog et Spyd i sin Haand.
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 Og han gik ind efter den israelitiske Mand i Horekippen og igennemstak dem begge, nemlig den israelitiske Mand og Kvinden, gennem hendes Liv. Da aflod Plagen fra Israels Børn.
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 amongst the children of Israel.
9 Og de, som døde i denne Plage, vare fire og tyve Tusinde.
Those who died by the plague were twenty-four thousand.
10 Og Herren talede til Mose og sagde:
The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
11 Pinehas, en Søn af Eleasar, der var en Søn af Præsten Aron, har vendt min Vrede fra Israels Børn, idet han var nidkær med min Nidkærhed midt iblandt dem, saa at jeg ikke har gjort Ende paa Israels Børn i min Nidkærhed.
“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 amongst them, so that I didn’t consume the children of Israel in my jealousy.
12 Derfor sig: Se, jeg gør med ham min Fredspagt.
Therefore say, ‘Behold, I give to him my covenant of peace.
13 Og han og hans Sæd efter ham skal have et evigt Præstedømmes Pagt, fordi han var nidkær for sin Gud og gjorde Forligede for Israels Børn.
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 Men Navnet paa den slagne israelitiske Mand, som blev slagen tillige med den midianitiske Kvinde, var Simri, Salu Søn, en Fyrste for et Fædrenehus iblandt Simeoniterne.
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 amongst the Simeonites.
15 Og Navnet paa den slagne midianitiske Kvinde var Kosbi, Zurs Datter, han var en Øverste for et Fædrenehuses Folk iblandt Midianiterne.
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 Og Herren talede til Mose og sagde:
The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
17 Træng Midianiterne, og I skulle slaa dem;
“Harass the Midianites, and strike them;
18 thi de trængte eder med deres Træskhed, idet de handlede træskeligen imod eder i den Sag med Peor og med Kosbi, den midianitiske Fyrstes Datter, deres Søster, som blev slagen paa Plagens Dag, for Peors Skyld.
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.”
