Bilangan 25
1 Sementara bangsa Israel tinggal di Lembah Sitim, orang-orang lelaki mereka mulai berzinah dengan wanita-wanita Moab yang ada di situ.
And Israel abode in Shittim; and the people began to commit fornication with the daughters of Moab.
2 Wanita-wanita itu mengajak mereka ke pesta-pesta kurban untuk menghormati ilah mereka. Orang Israel juga ikut makan kurban itu dan menyembah ilah orang Moab.
And they invited the people to the sacrifices of their gods; and the people ate, and bowed down to their gods.
3 Karena orang Israel menyembah Baal di Peor, TUHAN marah kepada mereka dan berkata kepada Musa,
And Israel joined himself to Baal-Peor; and the anger of Jehovah was kindled against Israel.
4 "Tangkaplah semua orang yang mengepalai bangsa itu dan bunuhlah mereka di depan umum sebagai pelaksanaan perintah-Ku, supaya Aku tidak marah lagi kepada bangsa itu."
And Jehovah said to Moses, Take all the heads of the people, and hang them up to Jehovah before the sun, that the fierce anger of Jehovah may be turned away from Israel.
5 Kemudian Musa berkata kepada hakim-hakim Israel, "Kamu masing-masing harus membunuh semua orang dalam sukumu yang telah menyembah Baal di Peor."
And Moses said to the judges of Israel, Slay every one his men that have joined themselves to Baal-Peor.
6 Ketika Musa dan seluruh umat sedang meratap di pintu Kemah TUHAN, mereka melihat seorang Israel membawa seorang wanita Midian masuk ke dalam kemahnya.
And behold, a man of the children of Israel came and brought a Midianitish woman to his brethren, in the sight of Moses, and in the sight of the whole assembly of the children of Israel, who were weeping before the entrance of the tent of meeting.
7 Waktu Pinehas, anak Eleazar, cucu Imam Harun melihat hal itu, ia bangkit dan meninggalkan perkumpulan itu. Diambilnya sebuah tombak
And Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw it, and rose up from among the assembly, and took a javelin in his hand,
8 lalu dikejarnya laki-laki dan wanita itu ke dalam kemah. Kedua orang itu ditikamnya dengan tombak itu maka berhentilah bencana yang sedang berkecamuk di Israel itu.
and he went after the man of Israel into the tent-chamber, and thrust both of them through, the man of Israel and the woman through her belly. And the plague was stayed from the children of Israel.
9 Tetapi sementara itu yang mati sudah ada 24.000 orang.
And those that died in the plague were twenty-four thousand.
10 Lalu TUHAN berkata kepada Musa,
And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
11 "Pinehas anak Eleazar, cucu Imam Harun, dengan giat membela kehormatan-Ku di tengah-tengah orang Israel, sehingga kemarahan-Ku reda dan Aku tidak jadi membinasakan bangsa itu.
Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, hath turned my wrath away from the children of Israel, in that he was jealous with my jealousy among them, so that I consumed not the children of Israel in my jealousy.
12 Jadi katakanlah kepada Pinehas bahwa Aku membuat suatu perjanjian dengan dia.
Therefore say, Behold, I give unto him my covenant of peace!
13 Dia dan keturunannya Kutetapkan sebagai imam untuk selama-lamanya, karena dia dengan begitu giat telah membela Aku, Allahnya, dan telah mengadakan perdamaian bagi dosa orang Israel."
And he shall have it, and his seed after him, the covenant of an everlasting priesthood; because he was jealous for his God, and made atonement for the children of Israel.
14 Orang Israel yang dibunuh bersama wanita Midian itu bernama Zimri, anak Salu, kepala suatu keluarga dari suku Simeon.
And the name of the man of Israel that was slain, who was slain with the Midianitish woman, was Zimri, the son of Salu, the prince of a father's house of the Simeonites.
15 Wanita itu bernama Kozbi; ia anak Zur, seorang kepala kaum di Midian.
And the name of the Midianitish woman that was slain was Cozbi, the daughter of Zur; he was tribal head of a father's house in Midian.
16 TUHAN memberi perintah ini kepada Musa,
And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
17 "Lawanlah orang Midian, dan binasakanlah mereka
Harass the Midianites, and smite them,
18 karena kejahatan yang telah mereka rencanakan terhadap kamu di Peor, dan karena Kozbi anak seorang kepala kaum di Midian. Kozbi itu wanita yang mati dibunuh waktu terjadi bencana karena peristiwa di Peor."
for they have harassed 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, who was slain on the day of the plague because of the matter of Peor.
