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

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

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

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

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

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

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.”

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

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

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

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.

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.

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;

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

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.

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.

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

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

¹⁰Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

¹⁰Vtedy hovoril Hospodin Mojžišovi a riekol:

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.

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.

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

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

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.’”

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

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.

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

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.

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

¹⁶Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

¹⁶A Hospodin hovoril Mojžišovi a riekol:

¹⁷“Harass the Midianites, and strike them;

¹⁷Sovri Madianov, a zbijete ich,

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.”

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.
