LXXNEW JERUSALEM
1 και κατελυσεν ισραηλ εν σαττιν και εβεβηλωθη ο λαος εκπορνευσαι εις τας θυγατερας μωαβ1 Israel settled at Shittim. The people gave themselves over to prostitution with Moabite women.
2 και εκαλεσαν αυτους επι ταις θυσιαις των ειδωλων αυτων και εφαγεν ο λαος των θυσιων αυτων και προσεκυνησαν τοις ειδωλοις αυτων2 These invited them to the sacrifices of their gods, and the people ate and bowed down before theirgods.
3 και ετελεσθη ισραηλ τω βεελφεγωρ και ωργισθη θυμω κυριος τω ισραηλ3 With Israel thus committed to the Baal of Peor, Yahweh's anger was aroused against them.
4 και ειπεν κυριος τω μωυση λαβε παντας τους αρχηγους του λαου και παραδειγματισον αυτους κυριω απεναντι του ηλιου και αποστραφησεται οργη θυμου κυριου απο ισραηλ4 Yahweh said to Moses, 'Take al the leaders of the people. Impale them facing the sun, for Yahweh,to deflect his burning anger from Israel.'
5 και ειπεν μωυσης ταις φυλαις ισραηλ αποκτεινατε εκαστος τον οικειον αυτου τον τετελεσμενον τω βεελφεγωρ5 Moses said to the judges of Israel, 'Each of you wil put to death those of his people who havecommitted themselves to the Baal of Peor.'
6 και ιδου ανθρωπος των υιων ισραηλ ελθων προσηγαγεν τον αδελφον αυτου προς την μαδιανιτιν εναντιον μωυση και εναντι πασης συναγωγης υιων ισραηλ αυτοι δε εκλαιον παρα την θυραν της σκηνης του μαρτυριου6 One of the Israelites came along, bringing the Midianite woman into his family, under the very eyes ofMoses and the whole community of Israelites as they were weeping at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.
7 και ιδων φινεες υιος ελεαζαρ υιου ααρων του ιερεως εξανεστη εκ μεσου της συναγωγης και λαβων σειρομαστην εν τη χειρι7 The priest Phinehas son of Eleazar, son of Aaron, on seeing this, stood up, left the assembly, seizeda lance,
8 εισηλθεν οπισω του ανθρωπου του ισραηλιτου εις την καμινον και απεκεντησεν αμφοτερους τον τε ανθρωπον τον ισραηλιτην και την γυναικα δια της μητρας αυτης και επαυσατο η πληγη απο υιων ισραηλ8 fol owed the Israelite into the alcove, and there ran them both through, the Israelite and the woman,through the stomach. Thus the plague which had struck the Israelites was arrested.
9 και εγενοντο οι τεθνηκοτες εν τη πληγη τεσσαρες και εικοσι χιλιαδες9 In the plague twenty-four thousand of them had died.
10 και ελαλησεν κυριος προς μωυσην λεγων10 Yahweh then spoke and said,
11 φινεες υιος ελεαζαρ υιου ααρων του ιερεως κατεπαυσεν τον θυμον μου απο υιων ισραηλ εν τω ζηλωσαι μου τον ζηλον εν αυτοις και ουκ εξανηλωσα τους υιους ισραηλ εν τω ζηλω μου11 'The priest Phinehas son of Eleazar, son of Aaron has deflected my wrath from the Israelites, hebeing the only one of them to have the same zeal as I have; for which reason, I did not make an end of theIsraelites in my zeal.
12 ουτως ειπον ιδου εγω διδωμι αυτω διαθηκην ειρηνης12 For this reason I say: To him I grant my covenant of peace.
13 και εσται αυτω και τω σπερματι αυτου μετ' αυτον διαθηκη ιερατειας αιωνια ανθ' ων εζηλωσεν τω θεω αυτου και εξιλασατο περι των υιων ισραηλ13 To him and his descendants after him, this covenant will assure the priesthood for ever. In rewardfor his zeal for his God, he will have the right to perform the ritual of expiation for the Israelites.'
14 το δε ονομα του ανθρωπου του ισραηλιτου του πεπληγοτος ος επληγη μετα της μαδιανιτιδος ζαμβρι υιος σαλω αρχων οικου πατριας των συμεων14 The Israelite who had been kil ed (the one who was kil ed with the Midianite woman) was cal edZimri son of Salu, leader of one of the Simeonite families.
15 και ονομα τη γυναικι τη μαδιανιτιδι τη πεπληγυια χασβι θυγατηρ σουρ αρχοντος εθνους ομμωθ οικου πατριας εστιν των μαδιαν15 The woman, the Midianite who was kil ed, was cal ed Cozbi, daughter of Zur, chief of a clan, of afamily, in Midian.
16 και ελαλησεν κυριος προς μωυσην λεγων λαλησον τοις υιοις ισραηλ λεγων16 Yahweh then spoke to Moses and said,
17 εχθραινετε τοις μαδιηναιοις και παταξατε αυτους17 'Harass the Midianites, strike them down,
18 οτι εχθραινουσιν αυτοι υμιν εν δολιοτητι οσα δολιουσιν υμας δια φογωρ και δια χασβι θυγατερα αρχοντος μαδιαν αδελφην αυτων την πεπληγυιαν εν τη ημερα της πληγης δια φογωρ18 for harassing you with their guile in the Peor affair and in the affair of their sister Cozbi, the daughterof a prince of Midian, the woman who was kil ed the day the plague came on account of the business of Peor.'
