¹And Israel dwelleth in Shittim, and the people begin to go a-whoring unto daughters of Moab,

¹Kui Iisrael elas Sittimis, siis hakkas rahvas tegema hooratööd Moabi tütardega,

²and they call for the people to the sacrifices of their gods, and the people eat, and bow themselves to their gods,

²kes kutsusid rahvast oma jumalate ohvriteenistustele; ja rahvas sõi ning hakkas kummardama nende jumalaid.

³and Israel is joined to Baal-Peor, and the anger of Jehovah burneth against Israel.

³Nõnda hoidis Iisrael Baal-Peori poole. Aga Issanda viha süttis põlema Iisraeli vastu

⁴And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Take all the chiefs of the people, and hang them before Jehovah — over-against the sun; and the fierceness of the anger of Jehovah doth turn back from Israel.`

⁴ja Issand ütles Moosesele: 'Võta kõik rahva peamehed ja poo nad päikese käes Issandale, et Issanda tuline viha pöörduks Iisraeli pealt!'

⁵And Moses saith unto the judges of Israel, `Slay ye each his men who are joined to Baal-Peor.`

⁵Ja Mooses ütles Iisraeli kohtumõistjaile: 'Tapke igaüks oma meestest see, kes on hoidnud Baal-Peori poole!'

⁶And lo, a man of the sons of Israel hath come, and bringeth in unto his brethren the Midianitess, before the eyes of Moses, and before the eyes of all the company of the sons of Israel, who are weeping at the opening of the tent of meeting;

⁶Ja vaata, keegi mees Iisraeli lastest tuli ja tõi oma vendade juurde Midjani naise, Moosese ja kogu Iisraeli laste koguduse silma all, kui need parajasti nutsid kogudusetelgi ukse ees.

⁷and Phinehas, son of Eleazar, son of Aaron, the priest, seeth, and riseth from the midst of the company, and taketh a javelin in his hand,

⁷Kui Piinehas, preester Aaroni poja Eleasari poeg, seda nägi, siis ta tõusis üles koguduse keskelt, võttis piigi kätte

⁸and goeth in after the man of Israel unto the hollow place, and pierceth them both, the man of Israel and the woman — unto her belly, and the plague is restrained from the sons of Israel;

⁸ja läks Iisraeli mehele järele naistekambrisse ning torkas mõlemale kõhtu, niihästi Iisraeli mehele kui sellele naisele. Siis võeti nuhtlus ära Iisraeli laste pealt.

⁹and the dead by the plague are four and twenty thousand.

⁹Sellesse nuhtlusesse surnuid oli kakskümmend neli tuhat.

¹⁰And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

¹⁰Ja Issand rääkis Moosesega, öeldes:

¹¹`Phinehas, son of Eleazar, son of Aaron the priest, hath turned back My fury from the sons of Israel, by his being zealous with My zeal in their midst, and I have not consumed the sons of Israel in My zeal.

¹¹'Piinehas, preester Aaroni poja Eleasari poeg, on pööranud ära mu vihaleegi Iisraeli laste pealt, olles nende keskel vihastunud minu asemel, nõnda et minul ei olnud vaja oma vihas teha lõppu Iisraeli lastele.

¹²`Therefore say, Lo, I am giving to him My covenant of peace,

¹²Seepärast ütle: Vaata, ma teen temaga oma rahulepingu.

¹³and it hath been to him and to his seed after him a covenant of a priesthood age-during, because that he hath been zealous for his God, and doth make atonement for the sons of Israel.`

¹³See olgu temale ja ta järeltulevale soole igaveseks preestriameti lepinguks, sellepärast et ta vihastus oma Jumala asemel ja toimetas lepitust Iisraeli laste eest.'

¹⁴And the name of the man of Israel who is smitten, who hath been smitten with the Midianitess, [is] Zimri son of Salu, prince of the house of a father of the Simeonite;

¹⁴Surmatud Iisraeli mehe nimi, kes surmati ühes Midjani naisega, oli Simri, Salu poeg, siimeonlaste perekonna vürst.

¹⁵and the name of the woman who is smitten, the Midianitess, [is] Cozbi daughter of Zur, head of a people — of the house of a father in Midian [is] he.

¹⁵Ja surmatud Midjani naise nimi oli Kosbi, Suuri tütar; Suur oli Midjani sugukondade ühe perekonna peamees.

¹⁶And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

¹⁶Ja Issand rääkis Moosesega, öeldes:

¹⁷`Distress the Midianites, and ye have smitten them,

¹⁷'Tungige kallale midjanlastele ja lööge nad maha!

¹⁸for they are adversaries to you with their frauds, [with] which they have acted fraudulently to you, concerning the matter of Peor, and concerning the matter of Cozbi, daughter of a prince of Midian, their sister, who is smitten in the day of the plague for the matter of Peor.`

¹⁸Sest nad on teile kallale tunginud oma salakavalusega, mida nad tarvitasid teie vastu Peori juhtumi puhul, ja Kosbi, Midjani vürsti tütre, nende kaasmaalanna juhtumi puhul, kes surmati nuhtlusepäeval, mis oli Peori juhtumi pärast.'
