¹A Izrael býval v Šittíme. Tu začal ľud smilniť odchádzajúc za dcérami Moábovými,

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

²ktoré pozvaly ľud k obetiam svojich bohov. A ľud jedol, a klaňali sa ich bohom.

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

³A Izrael sa spriahol s Bál-peorom. Vtedy sa roznietil hnev Hospodinov na Izraela.

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

⁴A Hospodin riekol Mojžišovi: Pober všetkých pohlavárov ľudu a povešaj ich Hospodinovi pred slnkom, aby sa odvrátila páľa hnevu Hospodinovho od Izraela.

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.`

⁵Vtedy riekol Mojžiš sudcom Izraelovým: Zabite každý svojich mužov, ktorí sa spriahli s Bál-peorom.

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

⁶A hľa, nejaký muž zo synov Izraelových prišiel a doviedol k svojim bratom Madianku pred očima Mojžišovými a pred očami celej obce synov Izraelových, ktorí plakali pri dveriach stánu shromaždenia.

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;

⁷Keď to videl Pinchas, syn Eleazára, syna Árona, kňaza, povstal zprostred obce a vzal kopiju do svojej ruky

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,

⁸a vošiel za izraelským mužom do stánu a prebodnul ich oboch, izraelského muža i tú ženu, vraziac kopiju do jej brucha, a tak bola rana zastavená a odvrátená od synov Izraelových.

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;

⁹A tých, ktorí zomreli tou ranou, bolo dvadsaťštyri tisíc.

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

¹⁰Vtedy hovoril Hospodin Mojžišovi a riekol:

¹⁰And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

¹¹Pinchas, syn Eleazára, syna Árona, kňaza, odvrátil moju prchlivosť od synov Izraelových, keď sa rozhorlil mojou horlivosťou medzi nimi, aby som nezahladil docela synov Izraelových svojou horlivosťou.

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.

¹²Preto povedz: Hľa, dám mu svoju smluvu, smluvu pokoja.

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

¹³A bude mať on i jeho semeno po ňom smluvu večného kňazstva, pretože horlil za svojho Boha a prikryl hriech na synoch Izraelových.

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.`

¹⁴A meno izraelského muža, toho zabitého, ktorý bol zabitý s tou Madiankou, bolo Zimri, syn Salú-va, knieža domu svojho otca, z pokolenia Simeonovho.

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;

¹⁵A meno zabitej ženy, tej Madianky, bolo Kozbi, dcéra Cúrova, ktorý bol hlavou ľudstiev domu svojho otca v Madiansku.

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.

¹⁶A Hospodin hovoril Mojžišovi a riekol:

¹⁶And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

¹⁷Sovri Madianov, a zbijete ich,

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

¹⁸pretože aj oni boli vás sovreli svojimi ľsťami, keď vás preľstili modlou Peorom a Kozbi-ou, dcérou madianskeho kniežaťa, svojou sestrou, ktorá bola zabitá v deň rany pre Peora.

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.`
