Numbers 25
1 While the Israelis were camped at a place called Acacia [Grove], some of the men caused themselves to become unacceptable to God by having sex with some of the women of the Moab [people-group who lived in that area].
Potem Izrael zamieszkał w Szittim i lud zaczął uprawiać nierząd z córkami Moabu.
2 Then those women invited the men to come when the sacrifices were being offered to their gods. The Israeli men [accepted]. They went to the feasts with the women and worshiped the gods of the Moab people-group.
One zapraszały lud do ofiar swoich bogów. A lud jadł i oddawał pokłon ich bogom.
3 By doing that, those Israeli people joined the women in worshiping the god Baal [add] the Moab people-group thought lived on Peor Mountain. That caused Yahweh to become very angry with his people.
I Izrael przyłączył się do Baal-Peora, i PAN bardzo rozgniewał się na Izraela.
4 Yahweh said this to Moses/me: “Seize all the leaders of those men who are doing this and execute them while I am watching. Do that in the daytime. After you do that, I will no longer be angry with the Israeli people.”
Wtedy PAN powiedział do Mojżesza: Zbierz wszystkich naczelników ludu i powieś ich przed PANEM na słońcu, aby zapalczywość gniewu PANA odwróciła się od Izraela.
5 So Moses/I said to the other Israeli leaders, “Each of you must execute your men who have joined [others] in worshiping Baal.”
Mojżesz powiedział więc do sędziów Izraela: Niech każdy z was zabije swoich ludzi, którzy przyłączyli się do Baal-Peora.
6 [But later], while Moses/I and many [HYP] other people were crying at the entrance of the Sacred Tent, while they/we were watching, one of the Israeli men brought a woman from the Midian people-group into his tent [and started to have sex with her].
A oto jeden z synów Izraela przyszedł i przyprowadził do swoich braci Midianitkę na oczach Mojżesza i na oczach całego zgromadzenia synów Izraela, którzy płakali [przed] wejściem do Namiotu Zgromadzenia.
7 When Phinehas, who was the grandson of Aaron, saw that, he grabbed a spear
Gdy zobaczył to Pinchas, syn Eleazara, syna Aarona, kapłana, wstał spośród zgromadzenia i wziął do ręki oszczep.
8 and rushed into the man’s tent. He thrust the spear completely through the man’s body and into the woman’s belly [and killed both of them]. When he did that, the (plague/serious illness) [that had started to strike the Israelis] stopped.
I poszedł za [tym] Izraelitą do namiotu, przebił oboje, tego Izraelitę oraz kobietę przez jej podbrzusze. I plaga wśród synów Izraela została powstrzymana.
9 But 24,000 people had already died [from that plague].
A tych, którzy umarli od tej plagi, było dwadzieścia cztery tysiące.
10 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,
Potem PAN powiedział do Mojżesza:
11 “Phinehas has caused me to stop being angry with the Israeli people, by being as eager as I am [to stop this sinful behavior]. I was ready to get rid of all the Israeli people because I was extremely angry, but Phinehas has prevented me from doing that.
Pinchas, syn Eleazara, syna Aarona, kapłana, odwrócił mój gniew od synów Izraela, gdyż okazał wśród nich gorliwość ze względu na mnie, tak że nie wytraciłem synów Izraela w mojej zazdrości.
12 Now tell him that I am making a special peace agreement with him.
Dlatego powiedz mu: Oto zawieram z nim moje przymierze pokoju;
13 In this agreement, I am promising to give to him and to his descendants the right/authority to be priests. I am doing this because [he showed that] he was very eager to honor me, his God, by stopping this sinful behavior. He has caused the Israeli people to become acceptable to me again by causing them to be forgiven for their sin.”
Będzie to dla niego i dla jego potomstwa po nim przymierze wiecznego kapłaństwa, ponieważ okazał gorliwość o swego Boga i dokonał przebłagania za synów Izraela.
14 The Israeli man who was killed with the woman of the Moab people-group was named Zimri. He was the son of Salu, who was the leader of a family from the tribe of Simeon.
A imię [tego] Izraelity, który został zabity wraz z Midianitką, było Zimri; [był to] syn Salu, naczelnika domu swego ojca, [z pokolenia] Symeona.
15 The woman’s name was Cozbi. She was the daughter of Zur, who was the leader of one of the clans of the Midian people-group.
Imię zabitej Midianitki [było] Kozbi, [była to] córka Sura, naczelnika w swoim narodzie i w domu swego ojca w Midianie.
16 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,
I PAN powiedział do Mojżesza:
17 “[Take your men and] attack the Midian people-group and kill them.
Odnoście się wrogo do Midianitów i pobijcie ich;
18 They have become your enemies, because they tricked you Israeli people and induced/persuaded many of you to worship Baal, and because [one of your men had sex with] Cozbi, who was the daughter of a leader of the Midian people-group. She was killed at the time the plague [started because the people sinned] at Peor [Mountain].”
Ponieważ oni odnosili się wrogo do was przez swoje podstępy, a podeszli was przez Baal-Peora i przez ich siostrę Kozbi, córkę księcia Midianu, która została zabita w dniu plagi z powodu Peora.
