Numbers 25

1 While Israel was staying in Shittim, the men began to indulge in sexual immorality with the daughters of Moab,

1 以色列人驻扎在什亭期间，有些人与摩押女子行淫。

2 who also invited them to the sacrifices for their gods. And the people ate and bowed down to these gods.

2 那些女子邀这些人祭祀她们的神明，他们吃了祭物，并跪拜她们的神明。

3 So Israel joined in worshiping Baal of Peor, and the anger of the LORD burned against them.

3 结果以色列与巴力·毗珥苟合。耶和华大怒，

4 Then the LORD said to Moses, “Take all the leaders of the people and execute them in broad daylight before the LORD, so that His fierce anger may turn away from Israel.”

4 对摩西说：“把为首的人都抓起来，当着我的面在大白天处死他们，以消除我对以色列人的怒气。”

5 So Moses told the judges of Israel, “Each of you must kill all of his men who have joined in worshiping Baal of Peor.”

5 于是，摩西对以色列的审判官说：“你们各自把手下与巴力·毗珥苟合的人处死。”

6 Just then an Israelite man brought to his family a Midianite woman in the sight of Moses and the whole congregation of Israel while they were weeping at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.

6 摩西和以色列全体会众正在会幕门口痛哭的时候，有个以色列人当着他们的面，把一个米甸女子带进自家的帐篷。

7 On seeing this, Phinehas son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, got up from the assembly, took a spear in his hand,

7 亚伦祭司的孙子、以利亚撒的儿子非尼哈看见了，便起身离开会众，拿着矛枪，

8 followed the Israelite into the tent, and drove the spear through both of them—through the Israelite and on through the belly of the woman. So the plague against the Israelites was halted,

8 跟着进入那人的帐篷，用枪刺透那对男女的腹部。以色列人当中的瘟疫马上止住了，

9 but those who died in the plague numbered 24,000.

9 但已有两万四千人死于瘟疫。

10 Then the LORD said to Moses,

10 耶和华对摩西说：

11 “Phinehas son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, has turned My wrath away from the Israelites; for he was zealous for My sake among them, so that I did not consume the Israelites in My zeal.

11 “亚伦祭司的孙子、以利亚撒的儿子非尼哈，消了我对以色列人的怒气。因为在会众中他与我一样痛恨不贞，我才没有愤然消灭他们。

12 Declare, therefore, that I am granting him My covenant of peace.

12 你告诉他，我要赐给他平安的约，

13 It will be a covenant of permanent priesthood for him and his descendants, because he was zealous for his God and made atonement for the Israelites.”

13 使他和他的后代凭此约可以永远做祭司，因为他为我除掉了不贞之人，为以色列人赎了罪。”

14 The name of the Israelite who was slain with the Midianite woman was Zimri son of Salu, the leader of a Simeonite family.

14 与米甸女子一同被杀的以色列人名叫心利，是撒路的儿子，是西缅支派的一个族长。

15 And the name of the slain Midianite woman was Cozbi, the daughter of Zur, a tribal chief of a Midianite family.

15 被杀的米甸女子名叫哥斯比，她父亲苏珥是米甸人的一个族长。

16 And the LORD said to Moses,

16 耶和华对摩西说：

17 “Attack the Midianites and strike them dead.

17 “你要攻打米甸人，击杀他们。

18 For they assailed you deceitfully when they seduced you in the matter of Peor and their sister Cozbi, the daughter of the Midianite leader, the woman who was killed on the day the plague came because of Peor.”

18 因为他们心存恶意，在毗珥陷害你们，他们的姊妹——米甸首领的女儿哥斯比诱惑你们，她在毗珥事件招来瘟疫之日被杀。”
