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

¹Israel stayed in Shittim; and the people began to play the prostitute with the daughters of Moab:

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

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

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

³Israel joined himself to Baal Peor: and the anger of Yahweh was kindled against Israel.

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

⁴Yahweh said to Moses, “Take all the chiefs of the people, and hang them up to Yahweh before the sun, that the fierce anger of Yahweh may turn away from Israel.”

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

⁵Moses said to the judges of Israel, “Everyone kill his men who have joined themselves to Baal Peor.”

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.

⁶Behold, one of the children of Israel came and brought to his brothers a Midianite 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.

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

⁷When 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;

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

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.

⁹Sellesse nuhtlusesse surnuid oli kakskümmend neli tuhat.

⁹Those who died by the plague were twenty-four thousand.

¹⁰Ja Issand rääkis Moosesega, öeldes:

¹⁰Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

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.

¹¹“Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, has turned my wrath away from the children of Israel, in that he was jealous with my jealousy among them, so that I didn’t consume the children of Israel in my jealousy.

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

¹²Therefore say, ‘Behold, I give to him my covenant of peace:

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

¹³and it shall be to 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.’”

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

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

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

¹⁵The name of the Midianite woman who was slain was Cozbi, the daughter of Zur; he was head of the people of a fathers’ house in Midian.

¹⁶Ja Issand rääkis Moosesega, öeldes:

¹⁶Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

¹⁷'Tungige kallale midjanlastele ja lööge nad maha!

¹⁷“Harass the Midianites, and strike them;

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.'

¹⁸for they harassed you with their wiles, with which they have deceived 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.”
