Notes on this text (2)
- The Old Testament is translated from the Hebrew, not from the Septuagint read in the Orthodox Church; there are no deuterocanonical books.
- Katharevousa (learned 19th-century Greek), as in the CrossWire module (text from theword.gr).
1 Και έμεινεν ο Ισραήλ εν Σιττείμ· και ήρχισεν ο λαός να πορνεύη μετά των θυγατέρων Μωάβ·
1 Israel stayed in Shittim; and the people began to play the prostitute with the daughters of Moab;
2 αίτινες προσεκάλεσαν τον λαόν εις τας θυσίας των θεών αυτών· και έφαγεν ο λαός και προσεκύνησε τους θεούς αυτών.
2 for they called the people to the sacrifices of their gods. The people ate and bowed down to their gods.
3 Και προσεκολλήθη ο Ισραήλ εις τον Βέελ-φεγώρ· και εξήφθη η οργή του Κυρίου κατά του Ισραήλ.
3 Israel joined himself to Baal Peor, and Yahweh’s anger burned against Israel.
4 Και είπε Κύριος προς τον Μωϋσήν, Λάβε πάντας τους αρχηγούς του λαού και κρέμασον αυτούς ενώπιον του Κυρίου κατέναντι του ηλίου· διά να σηκωθή από του Ισραήλ η φλογερά οργή του Κυρίου.
4 Yahweh said to Moses, “Take all the chiefs of the people, and hang them up to Yahweh before the sun, that the fierce anger of Yahweh may turn away from Israel.”
5 Και είπεν ο Μωϋσής προς τους κριτάς του Ισραήλ, Φονεύσατε έκαστος τους ανθρώπους αυτού, τους όσοι προσεκολλήθησαν εις τον Βέελ-φεγώρ.
5 Moses said to the judges of Israel, “Everyone kill his men who have joined themselves to Baal Peor.”
6 Και ιδού, εις εκ των υιών Ισραήλ ήλθε φέρων εις τους αδελφούς αυτού γυναίκα Μαδιανίτιν, ενώπιον του Μωϋσέως και ενώπιον πάσης της συναγωγής των υιών Ισραήλ, ενώ έκλαιον εν τη θύρα της σκηνής του μαρτυρίου.
6 Behold, one of the children of Israel came and brought to his brothers a Midianite woman in the sight of Moses, and in the sight of all the congregation of the children of Israel, while they were weeping at the door of the Tent of Meeting.
7 Και ιδών Φινεές, ο υιός του Ελεάζαρ, υιού του Ααρών του ιερέως, εσηκώθη εκ μέσον της συναγωγής, και λαβών εις την χείρα αυτού δοράτιον,
7 When Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw it, he rose up from the middle of the congregation, and took a spear in his hand.
8 υπήγε κατόπιν του ανθρώπου του Ισραηλίτου εις την σκηνήν και διεπέρασεν αμφοτέρους, τον τε άνθρωπον τον Ισραηλίτην και την γυναίκα διά της κοιλίας αυτής. Και έπαυσεν η πληγή από των υιών Ισραήλ.
8 He went after the man of Israel into the pavilion, and thrust both of them through, the man of Israel, and the woman through her body. So the plague was stopped among the children of Israel.
9 Ήσαν δε οι αποθανόντες εν τη πληγή εικοσιτέσσαρες χιλιάδες.
9 Those who died by the plague were twenty-four thousand.
10 Και ελάλησε Κύριος προς τον Μωϋσήν λέγων,
10 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
11 Ο Φινεές, ο υιός του Ελεάζαρ, υιού Ααρών του ιερέως, απέστρεψε τον θυμόν μου από των υιών Ισραήλ, δείξας ζήλον υπέρ εμού μεταξύ αυτών, όθεν δεν εξωλόθρευσα τους υιούς Ισραήλ εν τη ζηλοτυπία μου·
11 “Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, has turned my wrath away from the children of Israel, in that he was jealous with my jealousy among them, so that I didn’t consume the children of Israel in my jealousy.
12 διά τούτο ειπέ, Ιδού, εγώ δίδω εις αυτόν την διαθήκην μου της ειρήνης·
12 Therefore say, ‘Behold, I give to him my covenant of peace.
13 και θέλει είσθαι εις αυτόν και εις το σπέρμα αυτού μετ' αυτόν διαθήκη ιερατείας αιωνίου· διότι εστάθη ζηλωτής υπέρ του Θεού αυτού, και έκαμεν εξιλέωσιν υπέρ των υιών Ισραήλ.
13 It shall be to him, and to his offspring after him, the covenant of an everlasting priesthood, because he was jealous for his God, and made atonement for the children of Israel.’”
14 Το δε όνομα του Ισραηλίτου του θανατωθέντος εκείνου, όστις εθανατώθη μετά της γυναικός της Μαδιανίτιδος, ήτο Ζιμβρί, υιός Σαλού, άρχοντος οικογενείας επισήμου μεταξύ των Συμεωνιτών.
14 Now the name of the man of Israel that was slain, who was slain with the Midianite woman, was Zimri, the son of Salu, a prince of a fathers’ house among the Simeonites.
15 Και το όνομα της γυναικός της Μαδιανίτιδος της θανατωθείσης ήτο Χασβί, θυγάτηρ του Σούρ, αρχηγού λαού, εξ επισήμου οικογενείας εν Μαδιάμ.
15 The name of the Midianite woman who was slain was Cozbi, the daughter of Zur. He was head of the people of a fathers’ house in Midian.
16 Και ελάλησε Κύριος προς τον Μωϋσήν λέγων,
16 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
17 Πολεμείτε τους Μαδιανίτας και πατάξατε αυτούς·
17 “Harass the Midianites, and strike them;
18 διότι αυτοί σας πολεμούσι με τας δολιότητας αυτών, με τας οποίας σας εδολιεύθησαν εις την υπόθεσιν του Φεγώρ και εις την υπόθεσιν της Χασβί θυγατρός του άρχοντος Μαδιανίτου, της αδελφής αυτών, ήτις εθανατώθη εν τη ημέρα της πληγής διά την υπόθεσιν του Φεγώρ.
18 for they harassed you with their wiles, wherein they have deceived you in the matter of Peor, and in the incident regarding Cozbi, the daughter of the prince of Midian, their sister, who was slain on the day of the plague in the matter of Peor.”
