¹And Israel abode in Shittim, and the people began to commit whoredom with the daughters of Moab.

¹Izrael pa je ostal v Sitimu; in ljudstvo začne nečistovati s hčerami Moabcev,

²And they called the people unto the sacrifices of their gods: and the people did eat, and bowed down to their gods.

²ki so povabile ljudstvo k daritvam svojih bogov; in jedlo je ljudstvo in se priklanjalo njih bogovom.

³And Israel joined himself unto Baalpeor: and the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel.

³In Izrael se je oprijel Baal-peorja, in srd GOSPODOV se je vnel zoper Izraela.

⁴And the LORD said unto Moses, Take all the heads of the people, and hang them up before the LORD against the sun, that the fierce anger of the LORD may be turned away from Israel.

⁴In GOSPOD veli Mojzesu: Vzemi vse prvake ljudstva in jih GOSPODU obesi proti solncu, da se obrne togota GOSPODOVA od Izraela.

⁵And Moses said unto the judges of Israel, Slay ye every one his men that were joined unto Baalpeor.

⁵Reče torej Mojzes sodnikom Izraelovim: Vsak umóri svoje ljudi, ki so se oprijeli Baal-peorja.

⁶And, behold, one of the children of Israel came and brought unto his brethren a Midianitish woman in the sight of Moses, and in the sight of all the congregation of the children of Israel, who were weeping before the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.

⁶In glej, pride eden izmed sinov Izraelovih ter privede k bratom svojim Madianko vpričo Mojzesa in vpričo vse občine Izraelovih sinov, prav ko so jokali pri vhodu shodnega šatora.

⁷And when Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw it, he rose up from among the congregation, and took a javelin in his hand;

⁷Pinehas pa, sin Eleazarja, sinú Arona duhovnika, videč to, vstane urno izmed množice in vzame sulico v roko

⁸And 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 belly. So the plague was stayed from the children of Israel.

⁸ter gre za tistim izraelskim možem v kočo ter ju prebode, izraelskega moža in tisto ženo, skozi trebuh. In šiba med sinovi Izraelovimi je bila ustavljena.

⁹And those that died in the plague were twenty and four thousand.

⁹Tistih pa, ki so umrli od te šibe, je bilo štiriindvajset tisoč.

¹⁰And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

¹⁰Nato ogovori GOSPOD Mojzesa, rekoč:

¹¹Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, hath turned my wrath away from the children of Israel, while he was zealous for my sake among them, that I consumed not the children of Israel in my jealousy.

¹¹Pinehas, sin Eleazarja, sinú Arona duhovnika, je odvrnil jezo mojo od sinov Izraelovih s tem, da je gorel z mojo gorečnostjo sredi njih, in nisem pokončal sinov Izraelovih v gorečnosti svoji.

¹²Wherefore say, Behold, I give unto him my covenant of peace:

¹²Zato reci: Glej, dajem mu zavezo svojo, zavezo mirú;

¹³And he shall have it, and his seed after him, even the covenant of an everlasting priesthood; because he was zealous for his God, and made an atonement for the children of Israel.

¹³in njemu in zarodu njegovemu po njem naj velja večnega duhovništva zaveza, zato ker je gorel za svojega Boga in storil poravnavo za sinove Izraelove.

¹⁴Now the name of the Israelite that was slain, even that was slain with the Midianitish woman, was Zimri, the son of Salu, a prince of a chief house among the Simeonites.

¹⁴Ime pa izraelskemu možu, ki je bil ubit z madiansko ženo, je bilo Simri, sin Salujev, knez očetovine med Simeonskimi.

¹⁵And the name of the Midianitish woman that was slain was Cozbi, the daughter of Zur; he was head over a people, and of a chief house in Midian.

¹⁵In Madianka, ki je bila ubita, se je imenovala Kozbi, hči Zura, ki je bil rodovinski poglavar očetovine med Madiani.

¹⁶And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

¹⁶In GOSPOD je govoril Mojzesu, rekoč:

¹⁷Vex the Midianites, and smite them:

¹⁷Sovražno ravnajte z Madianci in jih ubijajte;zakaj oni so sovražno ravnali z vami v svoji zvijači, s katero so vas prekanili v zadevi Peorja in v zadevi Kozbe, hčere kneza madianskega, sestre svoje, ki je bila ubita v dan šibe zaradi Peorja.

¹⁸For they vex 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, which was slain in the day of the plague for Peor's sake.

¹⁸zakaj oni so sovražno ravnali z vami v svoji zvijači, s katero so vas prekanili v zadevi Peorja in v zadevi Kozbe, hčere kneza madianskega, sestre svoje, ki je bila ubita v dan šibe zaradi Peorja.
