BIBBIA VOLGARE	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 E istava in quello tempo il popolo d'Israel in Setim; e peccarono colle figliuole di Moab.	1 Now Israel, at that time, dwelt in Shittim, and the people were fornicating with the daughters of Moab,
2 E loro gli chiamarono ai loro sacrificii; e loro mangiarono con loro, e adorarono il loro Iddio.	2 who called them to their sacrifices. And they ate, and they adored their gods.
3 E seguitarono Israel Beelfegor. E adirossi Iddio,	3 And Israel was initiated into Baal of Peor. And so the Lord, being angry,
4 e disse a Moisè: tuogli tutti i principi del popolo, e impiccali contro al sole nelle forche, acciò che il mio furore si lievi d'Israel.	4 said to Moses, “Take all the leaders of the people, and hang them on gallows against the sun, so that my fury may be averted from Israel.”
5 Disse alli giudici d'Israel Moisè: vada ognuno, e uccida lo prossimo suo che seguitò Beelfegor.	5 And Moses said to the judges of Israel, “Let each one kill his neighbors, who have been initiated into Baal of Peor.”
6 Ed ecco uno de' figliuoli d'Israel, in presenza de' suoi fratelli, entrò al bordello de' Madianiti, ve dendolo Moisè e tutto il popolo d'Israel, che piagnea dinanzi alle porte del tabernacolo.	6 And behold, one of the sons of Israel entered, in the sight of his brothers, to a prostitute of Midian, within view of Moses and of all the crowd of the sons of Israel, who were weeping before the door of the tabernacle.
7 Vedendolo Finees figliuolo di Eleazar, figliuolo di Aaron, levossi del mezzo della moltitudine; e preso lo coltello,	7 And when Phinehas the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, had seen it, he rose up from the midst of the multitude, and, seizing a dagger,
8 andò di dietro a quello uomo d'Israel nel bordello; e trapassogli amendue insieme, l'uomo e la donna, nel luogo dove si genera. E cessò la piaga de' figliuoli d'Israel.	8 he entered after the Israelite man, into the brothel, and he pierced both of them at the same time, specifically, the man and the woman at the location of their genitals. And the scourge ceased from among the sons of Israel.
9 E uccisero XXIIII XIIII milia d'uomini.	9 And there were slain twenty-four thousand men.
10 Disse Iddio a Moisè:	10 And the Lord said to Moses:
11 Finees figliuolo di Eleazaro, figliuolo di Aaron sacerdote, levoe l'ira mia dai figliuoli d'Israel; perciò che, per grande amore ch' egli m'avea, si levoe contro a loro, acciò ch' io non li facessi pe rire nello mio furore.	11 “Phinehas the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, has averted my wrath from the sons of Israel. For he was moved against them by my zeal, so that I myself, in my zeal, might not wipe away the sons of Israel.
12 E imperciò parlagli, e digli: Iddio ti darà parte della oblazione del tabernacolo,	12 Because of this, say to him: Behold, I give to him the peace of my covenant.
13 a te e alla tua progenie; e sarà patto sacerdotale in sempiterno; imperciò che amò lo suo Iddio, e levò la mia indignazione d'Israel.	13 And the covenant of the everlasting priesthood shall be as much for him as for his offspring. For he was zealous on behalf of his God, and he has made expiation for the wickedness of the sons of Israel.”
14 Lo nome di quello israelita, che fue morto con quella Madianite, fu Zambri figliuolo di Salu, duca della gente della tribù di Simeon.	14 Now the name of the Israelite man, who was killed with the Midianite woman, was Zimri the son of Salu, a leader from the kinship and tribe of Simeon.
15 E la donna Madianita, la qual fu uccisa con lui insieme, avea nome Cozbi figliuola di Sur, principe nobile de' Madianiti.	15 Moreover, the Midianite woman, who was put to death together with him, was called Cozbi the daughter of Zur, a most noble leader among the Midianites.
16 Parlo Iddio a Moisè, e disse:	16 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
17 Fate che vi senta l'oste de' Madianiti, e percotetegli;	17 “Let the Midianites perceive you as enemies, and strike them down,
18 perciò che loro vennero contro a voi per modo [ostile], e ingannaronvi per l'idolo di Fogor, e per Cozbi figliuola del duca de' Madianiti, sorella sua, la quale fue percossa, lo die della piaga, per lo sacrilegio di Fogor.	18 for they, too, have behaved with hostility against you, and they have deceived you insidiously by means of the idol Peor, and by Cozbi, the daughter of a commander of Midian, their sister, who was struck down in the day of the scourge because of the sacrilege of Peor.”
