Numbers 25
1 Nowe whiles Israel abode in Shittim, the people began to commit whoredome with the daughters of Moab:
Israeliterne slog sig derpaa ned i Sjittim. Men Folket begyndte at bedrive Hor med de moabitiske Kvinder;
2 Which called the people vnto the sacrifice of their gods, and the people ate, and bowed downe to their gods.
og da de indbød Folket til deres Guders Slagtofre, spiste Folket deraf og tilbad deres Guder.
3 And Israel coupled himselfe vnto Baal Peor: wherefore the wrath of the Lord was kindled against Israel:
Og Israel holdt til med Ba'al-Peor; derover blussede HERRENS Vrede op mod Israel,
4 And the Lord sayde vnto Moses, Take all the heades of the people, and hang them vp before the Lord against ye sunne, that the indignation of the Lords wrath may be turned from Israel.
og HERREN sagde til Moses: »Kald alle Folkets Overhoveder sammen og hæng dem op for HERREN under aaben Himmel, for at HERRENS Vrede maa vige fra Israel!«
5 Then Moses sayd vnto the Iudges of Israel, Euery one slay his men that were ioyned vnto Baal Peor.
Og Moses sagde til Israeliternes Dommere: »Enhver af eder skal slaa dem af sine Mænd ihjel, der har holdt til med Ba'al-Peor!«
6 And behold, one of the children of Israel came and brought vnto his brethren a Midianitish woman in the sight of Moses, and in the sight of all the Congregation of the children of Israel, who wept before the doore of the Tabernacle of the Congregation.
Og se, en af Israeliterne kom og førte en midjanitisk Kvinde hen til sine Landsmænd lige for Øjnene af Moses og hele Israeliternes Menighed, medens de stod og græd ved Indgangen til Aabenbaringsteltet.
7 And when Phinehas the sonne of Eleazar the sonne of Aaron the Priest sawe it, hee rose vp from the middes of the Congregation, and tooke a speare in his hand,
Da nu Pinehas, Præsten Arons Søn Eleazars Søn, saa det, traadte han frem af Menighedens Midte, greb et Spyd,
8 And followed ye man of Israel into the tent, and thrust them both through: to wit, the man of Israel, and the woman, through her belly: so the plague ceased from the children of Israel.
fulgte den israelitiske Mand ind i Sengekammeret og gennemborede dem begge, baade den israelitiske Mand og Kvinden, hende gennem Underlivet. Da standsede Plagen blandt Israeliterne.
9 And there died in that plague, foure and twentie thousand.
Men Tallet paa dem, Plagen havde kostet Livet, løb op til 24 000.
10 Then the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,
Da talede HERREN saaledes til Moses:
11 Phinehas the sonne of Eleazar, the sonne of Aaron the Priest, hath turned mine anger away from the children of Israel, while hee was zealous for my sake among them: therefore I haue not consumed the children of Israel in my ielousie.
»Pinehas, Præsten Arons Søn Eleazars Søn, har vendt min Vrede fra Israeliterne, idet han var nidkær iblandt dem med min Nidkærhed, saa at jeg ikke tilintetgjorde Israeliterne i min Nidkærhed.
12 Wherefore say to him, Beholde, I giue vnto him my couenant of peace,
Derfor skal du sige: Se, jeg giver ham min Fredspagt!
13 And he shall haue it, and his seede after him, euen the couenant of the priestes office for euer, because he was zealous for his God, and hath made an atonement for the children of Israel.
Et evigt Præstedømmes Pagt skal blive hans og efter ham hans Efterkommeres Lod, til Løn for at han var nidkær for sin Gud og skaffede Israeliterne Soning.«
14 And the name of the Israelite thus slayne, which was killed with the Midianitish woman, was Zimri the sonne of Salu, prince of the familie of the Simeonites.
Den dræbte Israelit, han, der dræbtes sammen med den midjanitiske Kvinde, hed Zimri, Salus Søn, og var Øverste for et Fædrenehus blandt Simeoniterne;
15 And the name of the Midianitish woman, that was slayne, was Cozbi the daughter of Zur, who was head ouer the people of his fathers house in Midian.
og den dræbte midjanitiske Kvinde hed Kozbi og var en Datter af Zur, der var Stammehøvding for et Fædrenehus blandt Midjaniterne,
16 Againe ye Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,
HERREN talede fremdeles til Moses og sagde:
17 Vexe the Midianites, and smite them:
»Fald over Midjaniterne og slaa dem;
18 For they trouble you with their wiles, wherewith they haue beguiled you as concerning Peor, and as concerning their sister Cozbi ye daughter of a prince of Midian, which was slayne in the day of the plague because of Peor.
thi de faldt over eder med de Rænker, de spandt imod eder i den Sag med Peor og med Kozbi, den midjanitiske Høvdings Datter, deres Landsmandinde, der dræbtes, den Dag Plagen brød løs for Peors Skyld.«
