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

¹Izrael pa je ostal v Sitimu; in ljudstvo začne nečistovati s hčerami Moabcev,

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

²ki so povabile ljudstvo k daritvam svojih bogov; in jedlo je ljudstvo in se priklanjalo njih bogovom.

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

³In Izrael se je oprijel Baal-peorja, in srd GOSPODOV se je vnel zoper 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.”

⁴In GOSPOD veli Mojzesu: Vzemi vse prvake ljudstva in jih GOSPODU obesi proti solncu, da se obrne togota GOSPODOVA od Izraela.

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

⁵Reče torej Mojzes sodnikom Izraelovim: Vsak umóri svoje ljudi, ki so se oprijeli Baal-peorja.

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.

⁶In glej, pride eden izmed sinov Izraelovih ter privede k bratom svojim Madianko vpričo Mojzesa in vpričo vse občine Izraelovih sinov, prav ko so jokali pri vhodu shodnega šatora.

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;

⁷Pinehas pa, sin Eleazarja, sinú Arona duhovnika, videč to, vstane urno izmed množice in vzame sulico v roko

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.

⁸ter gre za tistim izraelskim možem v kočo ter ju prebode, izraelskega moža in tisto ženo, skozi trebuh. In šiba med sinovi Izraelovimi je bila ustavljena.

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

⁹Tistih pa, ki so umrli od te šibe, je bilo štiriindvajset tisoč.

¹⁰Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

¹⁰Nato ogovori GOSPOD Mojzesa, rekoč:

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.

¹¹Pinehas, sin Eleazarja, sinú Arona duhovnika, je odvrnil jezo mojo od sinov Izraelovih s tem, da je gorel z mojo gorečnostjo sredi njih, in nisem pokončal sinov Izraelovih v gorečnosti svoji.

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

¹²Zato reci: Glej, dajem mu zavezo svojo, zavezo mirú;

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.’”

¹³in njemu in zarodu njegovemu po njem naj velja večnega duhovništva zaveza, zato ker je gorel za svojega Boga in storil poravnavo za sinove Izraelove.

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.

¹⁴Ime pa izraelskemu možu, ki je bil ubit z madiansko ženo, je bilo Simri, sin Salujev, knez očetovine med Simeonskimi.

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.

¹⁵In Madianka, ki je bila ubita, se je imenovala Kozbi, hči Zura, ki je bil rodovinski poglavar očetovine med Madiani.

¹⁶Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

¹⁶In GOSPOD je govoril Mojzesu, rekoč:

¹⁷“Harass the Midianites, and strike them;

¹⁷Sovražno ravnajte z Madianci in jih ubijajte;zakaj oni so sovražno ravnali z vami v svoji zvijači, s katero so vas prekanili v zadevi Peorja in v zadevi Kozbe, hčere kneza madianskega, sestre svoje, ki je bila ubita v dan šibe zaradi Peorja.

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.”

¹⁸zakaj oni so sovražno ravnali z vami v svoji zvijači, s katero so vas prekanili v zadevi Peorja in v zadevi Kozbe, hčere kneza madianskega, sestre svoje, ki je bila ubita v dan šibe zaradi Peorja.
