¹And Israel abode in Shittim; and the people began to play the harlot with the daughters of Moab:

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

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

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

³And Israel joined himself unto Baal-peor: and the anger of Jehovah was kindled against Israel.

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

⁴And Jehovah said unto Moses, Take all the chiefs of the people, and hang them up unto Jehovah before the sun, that the fierce anger of Jehovah may turn away 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 said unto the judges of Israel, Slay ye every one his men that have joined themselves unto Baal-peor.

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

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, while they were weeping at the door 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 when Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw it, he rose up from the midst of the congregation, and took a spear in his hand;

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

⁸and he went after the man of Israel into the pavilion, and thrust both of them through, the man of Israel, and the woman through her body. So the plague was stayed from the children 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 those that died by the plague were twenty and four thousand.

⁹Sellesse nuhtlusesse surnuid oli kakskümmend neli tuhat.

¹⁰And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,

¹⁰Ja Issand rääkis Moosesega, öeldes:

¹¹Phinehas, 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.

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.

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

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

¹³and it shall be unto him, and to 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.

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

¹⁴Now the name of the man of Israel that was slain, who was slain with the Midianitish woman, was Zimri, the son of Salu, a prince of a fathers' house among the Simeonites.

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

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

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

¹⁶And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,

¹⁶Ja Issand rääkis Moosesega, öeldes:

¹⁷Vex the Midianites, and smite them;

¹⁷'Tungige kallale midjanlastele ja lööge nad maha!

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 the prince of Midian, their sister, who was slain on the day of the plague in 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.'
