1A Izrael býval v Šittíme. Tu začal ľud smilniť odchádzajúc za dcérami Moábovými,
1And Israel abode in Shittim; and the people began to play the harlot with the daughters of Moab:
2ktoré pozvaly ľud k obetiam svojich bohov. A ľud jedol, a klaňali sa ich bohom.
2for they called the people unto the sacrifices of their gods; and the people did eat, and bowed down to their gods.
3A Izrael sa spriahol s Bál-peorom. Vtedy sa roznietil hnev Hospodinov na Izraela.
3And Israel joined himself unto Baal-peor: and the anger of Jehovah was kindled 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 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.
5Vtedy riekol Mojžiš sudcom Izraelovým: Zabite každý svojich mužov, ktorí sa spriahli s Bál-peorom.
5And Moses said unto the judges of Israel, Slay ye every one his men that have joined themselves unto 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, 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.
7Keď to videl Pinchas, syn Eleazára, syna Árona, kňaza, povstal zprostred obce a vzal kopiju do svojej ruky
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;
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 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.
9A tých, ktorí zomreli tou ranou, bolo dvadsaťštyri tisíc.
9And those that died by the plague were twenty and four thousand.
10Vtedy hovoril Hospodin Mojžišovi a riekol:
10And Jehovah spake 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.
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.
12Preto povedz: Hľa, dám mu svoju smluvu, smluvu pokoja.
12Wherefore say, Behold, I give unto 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 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.
14A meno izraelského muža, toho zabitého, ktorý bol zabitý s tou Madiankou, bolo Zimri, syn Salú-va, knieža domu svojho otca, z pokolenia Simeonovho.
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.
15A meno zabitej ženy, tej Madianky, bolo Kozbi, dcéra Cúrova, ktorý bol hlavou ľudstiev domu svojho otca v Madiansku.
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.
16A Hospodin hovoril Mojžišovi a riekol:
16And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,
17Sovri Madianov, a zbijete ich,
17Vex the Midianites, and smite 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 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.
