Numbers 25
1 While the Israelis were camped at a place called Acacia [Grove], some of the men caused themselves to become unacceptable to God by having sex with some of the women of the Moab [people-group who lived in that area].
イスラエルはシッテムに止まり居けるがその民モアブの婦女等と婬をおこなふことを始めたり
2 Then those women invited the men to come when the sacrifices were being offered to their gods. The Israeli men [accepted]. They went to the feasts with the women and worshiped the gods of the Moab people-group.
その婦女等其神々に犠牲を献る時に民を招けば民は往て食ふことを爲しかつその神々を拝めり
3 By doing that, those Israeli people joined the women in worshiping the god Baal [add] the Moab people-group thought lived on Peor Mountain. That caused Yahweh to become very angry with his people.
イスラエルかくバアルベオルに附ければイスラエルにむかひてヱホバ怒を發したまへり
4 Yahweh said this to Moses/me: “Seize all the leaders of those men who are doing this and execute them while I am watching. Do that in the daytime. After you do that, I will no longer be angry with the Israeli people.”
ヱホバすなはちモーセに告て言たまはく民の首をことごとく携きたりヱホバのためにかの者等を日に曝せ然せばヱホバの烈しき怒イスラエルを離るるあらんと
5 So Moses/I said to the other Israeli leaders, “Each of you must execute your men who have joined [others] in worshiping Baal.”
是においてモーセ、イスラエルの士師等にむかひ汝らおのおのその配下の人々のバアルベオルに附る者を殺せと言り
6 [But later], while Moses/I and many [HYP] other people were crying at the entrance of the Sacred Tent, while they/we were watching, one of the Israeli men brought a woman from the Midian people-group into his tent [and started to have sex with her].
モーセとイスラエルの子孫の全會衆集合の幕屋の門にて哭をる時一箇のイスラエル人ミデアンの婦人一箇を携きたり彼らの目の前にてその兄弟等の中に至れり
7 When Phinehas, who was the grandson of Aaron, saw that, he grabbed a spear
祭司アロンの子なるエレアザルの子ピネハスこれを見會衆の中より起あがりて槍を手に執り
8 and rushed into the man’s tent. He thrust the spear completely through the man’s body and into the woman’s belly [and killed both of them]. When he did that, the (plague/serious illness) [that had started to strike the Israelis] stopped.
そのイスラエルの人の後を追て之が寝室に入りイスラエルの人を衝きまたその婦女の腹を衝とほして二人を殺せり是において疫病のイスラエルの子孫におよぶこと止れり
9 But 24,000 people had already died [from that plague].
その疫病にて死たる者は二萬四千人なりき
10 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,
ヱホバ、モーセに告て言たまはく
11 “Phinehas has caused me to stop being angry with the Israeli people, by being as eager as I am [to stop this sinful behavior]. I was ready to get rid of all the Israeli people because I was extremely angry, but Phinehas has prevented me from doing that.
祭司アロンの子なるエレアザルの子ピネハスはわが熱心をイスラエルの子孫の中にあらはして吾怒をその中より取去り我として熱心をもてイスラエルの子孫を滅し盡すにいたらざらしめたり
12 Now tell him that I am making a special peace agreement with him.
故に汝言へ我これに平和のわが契約をさづく
13 In this agreement, I am promising to give to him and to his descendants the right/authority to be priests. I am doing this because [he showed that] he was very eager to honor me, his God, by stopping this sinful behavior. He has caused the Israeli people to become acceptable to me again by causing them to be forgiven for their sin.”
即ち彼とその後の子孫永く祭司の職を得べし是は彼その神のために熱心にしてイスラエルの子孫のために贖をなしたればなり
14 The Israeli man who was killed with the woman of the Moab people-group was named Zimri. He was the son of Salu, who was the leader of a family from the tribe of Simeon.
その殺されしイスラエル人すなはちミデアンの婦人とともに殺されし者はその名をジムリと言てサルの子にしてシメオン人の宗族の牧伯の一人なり
15 The woman’s name was Cozbi. She was the daughter of Zur, who was the leader of one of the clans of the Midian people-group.
またその殺されしミデアンの婦人は名をコズビと曰てツルの女子なりツルはミデアンの民の宗族の首なり
16 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,
ヱホバ、モーセに告て言たまはく
17 “[Take your men and] attack the Midian people-group and kill them.
ミデアン人に逼りてこれを撃て
18 They have become your enemies, because they tricked you Israeli people and induced/persuaded many of you to worship Baal, and because [one of your men had sex with] Cozbi, who was the daughter of a leader of the Midian people-group. She was killed at the time the plague [started because the people sinned] at Peor [Mountain].”
其は彼ら謀計をもて汝に逼りペオルの事とその姉妹なるミデアンの牧伯の女すなはちペオルのために疫病の起れる日に殺されしコズビの事において汝らを惑したればなり
