Numeri 25
Cornilescu 1924 - Revised 2010, 2014
Închinarea la idoli
25 Israel locuia în Sitim(A) şi poporul(B) a început să se dea la curvie cu fetele lui Moab. 2 Ele au poftit(C) poporul la jertfele(D) dumnezeilor lor, şi poporul a mâncat şi s-a închinat(E) până la pământ înaintea dumnezeilor lor. 3 Israel s-a alipit de Baal-Peor, şi Domnul S-a(F) aprins de mânie împotriva lui Israel. 4 Domnul a zis lui Moise: „Strânge(G) pe toate căpeteniile poporului şi spânzură pe cei vinovaţi înaintea Domnului în faţa soarelui, pentru ca să se întoarcă de la Israel mânia aprinsă(H) a Domnului.” 5 Moise a zis judecătorilor(I) lui Israel: „Fiecare(J) din voi să ucidă pe aceia dintre ai lui care s-au lipit de Baal-Peor.” 6 Şi iată că un bărbat dintre copiii lui Israel a venit şi a adus la fraţii lui pe o madianită, sub ochii lui Moise şi sub ochii întregii adunări a copiilor lui Israel, pe când plângeau(K) la uşa cortului întâlnirii. 7 La vederea acestui(L) lucru, Fineas, fiul(M) lui Eleazar, fiul preotului Aaron, s-a sculat din mijlocul adunării şi a luat o suliţă în mână. 8 S-a luat după omul acela din Israel până în cortul lui, i-a străpuns prin pântece pe amândoi: atât pe bărbatul acela din Israel, cât şi pe femeia aceea. Şi a încetat astfel urgia(N) care izbucnise printre copiii lui Israel. 9 Douăzeci şi patru de mii au murit(O) loviţi de urgia aceea. 10 Domnul a vorbit lui Moise şi a zis: 11 „Fineas(P), fiul lui Eleazar, fiul preotului Aaron, a abătut mânia Mea de la copiii lui Israel prin râvna pe care a avut-o pentru Mine în mijlocul lor, şi n-am nimicit, în mânia(Q) Mea, pe copiii lui Israel. 12 De aceea să spui că închei(R) cu el un legământ de pace. 13 Acesta va fi pentru el şi pentru sămânţa(S) lui după el legământul unei preoţii(T) veşnice, pentru că a fost plin de râvnă(U) pentru Dumnezeul lui şi a făcut ispăşire(V) pentru copiii lui Israel.” 14 Bărbatul acela din Israel care a fost ucis împreună cu madianita se numea Zimri, fiul lui Salu; el era căpetenia unei case părinteşti a simeoniţilor. 15 Femeia care a fost ucisă se numea Cozbi, fata lui Ţur(W), căpetenia seminţiilor ieşite dintr-o casă părintească din Madian.
Omorârea madianiţilor
16 Domnul a vorbit lui Moise şi a zis: 17 „Priviţi-i pe(X) madianiţi ca vrăjmaşi şi ucideţi-i, 18 căci şi ei vi s-au arătat vrăjmaşi, amăgindu-vă prin vicleşugurile(Y) lor, în fapta lui Peor şi în fapta Cozbiei, fata unei căpetenii a lui Madian, sora lor, ucisă în ziua urgiei care a avut loc cu prilejul faptei lui Peor.”

New International Version
Moab Seduces Israel
25 While Israel was staying in Shittim,(A) the men began to indulge in sexual immorality(B) with Moabite(C) women,(D) 2 who invited them to the sacrifices(E) to their gods.(F) The people ate the sacrificial meal and bowed down before these gods. 3 So Israel yoked themselves to(G) the Baal of Peor.(H) And the Lord’s anger burned against them.
4 The Lord said to Moses, “Take all the leaders(I) of these people, kill them and expose(J) them in broad daylight before the Lord,(K) so that the Lord’s fierce anger(L) may turn away from Israel.”
5 So Moses said to Israel’s judges, “Each of you must put to death(M) those of your people who have yoked themselves to the Baal of Peor.”(N)
6 Then an Israelite man brought into the camp a Midianite(O) woman right before the eyes of Moses and the whole assembly of Israel while they were weeping(P) at the entrance to the tent of meeting. 7 When Phinehas(Q) son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron, the priest, saw this, he left the assembly, took a spear(R) in his hand 8 and followed the Israelite into the tent. He drove the spear into both of them, right through the Israelite man and into the woman’s stomach. Then the plague against the Israelites was stopped;(S) 9 but those who died in the plague(T) numbered 24,000.(U)
10 The Lord said to Moses, 11 “Phinehas son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron, the priest, has turned my anger away from the Israelites.(V) Since he was as zealous for my honor(W) among them as I am, I did not put an end to them in my zeal. 12 Therefore tell him I am making my covenant of peace(X) with him. 13 He and his descendants will have a covenant of a lasting priesthood,(Y) because he was zealous(Z) for the honor(AA) of his God and made atonement(AB) for the Israelites.”(AC)
14 The name of the Israelite who was killed with the Midianite woman(AD) was Zimri son of Salu, the leader of a Simeonite family.(AE) 15 And the name of the Midianite woman who was put to death was Kozbi(AF) daughter of Zur, a tribal chief of a Midianite family.(AG)
16 The Lord said to Moses,(AH) 17 “Treat the Midianites(AI) as enemies(AJ) and kill them.(AK) 18 They treated you as enemies when they deceived you in the Peor incident(AL) involving their sister Kozbi, the daughter of a Midianite leader, the woman who was killed when the plague came as a result of that incident.”

Israel’s Harlotry in Moab
25 Now Israel remained in (A)Acacia Grove,[a] and the (B)people began to commit harlotry with the women of Moab. 2 (C)They invited the people to (D)the sacrifices of their gods, and the people ate and (E)bowed down to their gods. 3 So Israel was joined to Baal of Peor, and (F)the anger of the Lord was aroused against Israel.
4 Then the Lord said to Moses, (G)“Take all the leaders of the people and hang the offenders before the Lord, out in the sun, (H)that the fierce anger of the Lord may turn away from Israel.”
5 So Moses said to (I)the judges of Israel, (J)“Every one of you kill his men who were joined to Baal of Peor.”
6 And indeed, one of the children of Israel came and presented to his brethren a Midianite woman in the sight of Moses and in the sight of all the congregation of the children of Israel, (K)who were weeping at the door of the tabernacle of meeting. 7 Now (L)when Phinehas (M)the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw it, he rose from among the congregation and took a javelin in his hand; 8 and he went after the man of Israel into the tent and thrust both of them through, the man of Israel, and the woman through her body. So (N)the plague was (O)stopped among the children of Israel. 9 And (P)those who died in the plague were twenty-four thousand.
10 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: 11 (Q)“Phinehas the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, has turned back My wrath from the children of Israel, because he was zealous with My zeal among them, so that I did not consume the children of Israel in (R)My zeal. 12 Therefore say, (S)‘Behold, I give to him My (T)covenant of peace; 13 and it shall be to him and (U)his descendants after him a covenant of (V)an everlasting priesthood, because he was (W)zealous for his God, and (X)made [b]atonement for the children of Israel.’ ”
14 Now the name of the Israelite who was killed, who was killed with the Midianite woman, was Zimri the son of Salu, a leader of a father’s house among the Simeonites. 15 And the name of the Midianite woman who was killed was Cozbi the daughter of (Y)Zur; he was head of the people of a father’s house in Midian.
16 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: 17 (Z)“Harass the Midianites, and [c]attack them; 18 for they harassed you with their (AA)schemes[d] by which they seduced you in the matter of Peor and in the matter of Cozbi, the daughter of a leader of Midian, their sister, who was killed in the day of the plague because of Peor.”
