Bilangan 25

¹Sementara Israel tinggal di Sitim, mulailah bangsa itu berzinah dengan perempuan-perempuan Moab.

¹While Israel lived in Shittim, the people began to whore with the daughters of Moab.

²Perempuan-perempuan ini mengajak bangsa itu ke korban sembelihan bagi allah mereka, lalu bangsa itu turut makan dari korban itu dan menyembah allah orang-orang itu.

²These invited the people to the sacrifices of their gods, and the people ate and bowed down to their gods.

³Ketika Israel berpasangan dengan Baal-Peor, bangkitlah murka TUHAN terhadap Israel;

³So Israel yoked himself to Baal of Peor. And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel.

⁴lalu berfirmanlah TUHAN kepada Musa: "Tangkaplah semua orang yang mengepalai bangsa itu dan gantunglah mereka di hadapan TUHAN di tempat terang, supaya murka TUHAN yang bernyala-nyala itu surut dari pada Israel."

⁴And the LORD said to Moses, "Take all the chiefs of the people and hang them in the sun before the LORD, that the fierce anger of the LORD may turn away from Israel."

⁵Lalu berkatalah Musa kepada hakim-hakim Israel: "Baiklah masing-masing kamu membunuh orang-orangnya yang telah berpasangan dengan Baal-Peor."

⁵And Moses said to the judges of Israel, "Each of you kill those of his men who have yoked themselves to Baal of Peor."

⁶Kebetulan datanglah salah seorang Israel membawa seorang perempuan Midian kepada sanak saudaranya dengan dilihat Musa dan segenap umat Israel yang sedang bertangis-tangisan di depan pintu Kemah Pertemuan.

⁶And behold, one of the people of Israel came and brought a Midianite woman to his family, in the sight of Moses and in the sight of the whole congregation of the people of Israel, while they were weeping in the entrance of the tent of meeting.

⁷Ketika hal itu dilihat oleh Pinehas, anak Eleazar, anak imam Harun, bangunlah ia dari tengah-tengah umat itu dan mengambil sebuah tombak di tangannya,

⁷When Phinehas the son of Eleazar, son of Aaron the priest, saw it, he rose and left the congregation and took a spear in his hand

⁸mengejar orang Israel itu sampai ke ruang tengah, dan menikam mereka berdua, yakni orang Israel dan perempuan itu, pada perutnya. Maka berhentilah tulah itu menimpa orang Israel.

⁸and went after the man of Israel into the chamber and pierced both of them, the man of Israel and the woman through her belly. Thus the plague on the people of Israel was stopped.

⁹Orang yang mati karena tulah itu ada dua puluh empat ribu orang banyaknya.

⁹Nevertheless, those who died by the plague were twenty-four thousand.

¹⁰TUHAN berfirman kepada Musa:

¹⁰And the LORD said to Moses,

¹¹"Pinehas, anak Eleazar, anak imam Harun, telah menyurutkan murka-Ku dari pada orang Israel, oleh karena ia begitu giat membela kehormatan-Ku di tengah-tengah mereka, sehingga tidaklah Kuhabisi orang Israel dalam cemburu-Ku.

¹¹"Phinehas the son of Eleazar, son of Aaron the priest, has turned back my wrath from the people of Israel, in that he was jealous with my jealousy among them, so that I did not consume the people of Israel in my jealousy.

¹²Sebab itu katakanlah: Sesungguhnya Aku berikan kepadanya perjanjian keselamatan yang dari pada-Ku

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

¹³untuk menjadi perjanjian mengenai keimaman selama-lamanya bagi dia dan bagi keturunannya, karena ia telah begitu giat membela Allahnya dan telah mengadakan pendamaian bagi orang Israel."

¹³and it shall be to him and to his descendants after him the covenant of a perpetual priesthood, because he was jealous for his God and made atonement for the people of Israel.'"

¹⁴Nama orang Israel yang mati terbunuh bersama-sama dengan perempuan Midian itu ialah Zimri bin Salu, pemimpin salah satu puak orang Simeon,

¹⁴The name of the slain man of Israel, who was killed with the Midianite woman, was Zimri the son of Salu, chief of a father's house belonging to the Simeonites.

¹⁵dan nama perempuan Midian yang mati terbunuh itu ialah Kozbi binti Zur; Zur itu adalah seorang kepala kaum--yaitu puak--di Midian.

¹⁵And the name of the Midianite woman who was killed was Cozbi the daughter of Zur, who was the tribal head of a father's house in Midian.

¹⁶Kemudian berfirmanlah TUHAN kepada Musa:

¹⁶And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

¹⁷"Lawanlah orang Midian itu, dan tewaskanlah mereka,

¹⁷"Harass the Midianites and strike them down,

¹⁸sebab mereka telah melawan kamu dengan daya upaya yang dirancang mereka terhadap kamu dalam hal Peor dan dalam hal Kozbi, saudara mereka, yakni anak perempuan seorang pemimpin Midian; Kozbi itu mati terbunuh pada waktu turunnya tulah karena Peor itu."

¹⁸for they have harassed you with their wiles, with which they beguiled you in the matter of Peor, and in the matter of Cozbi, the daughter of the chief of Midian, their sister, who was killed on the day of the plague on account of Peor."
