Numbers 25
1 And Israel remained among the acacias, —and the people began to go away unchastely unto the daughters of Moab;
Israel ficou em Shittim; e o povo começou a brincar de prostituta com as filhas de Moab;
2 who invited the people unto the sacrifices of their gods, —so the people did eat, and did bow themselves down unto their gods.
pois elas chamaram o povo para os sacrifícios de seus deuses. O povo comeu e se curvou diante de seus deuses.
3 Thus Israel let himself be bound unto Baal-peor, and the anger of Yahweh kindled upon Israel.
Israel se uniu a Baal Peor, e a raiva de Javé ardeu contra Israel.
4 And Yahweh said unto Moses—Take all the heads of the people, and crucify them unto Yahweh. in the face of the sun, —that the heat of the anger of Yahweh may turn away from Israel.
Javé disse a Moisés: “Pegue todos os chefes do povo e pendure-os diante de Javé diante do sol, para que a raiva feroz de Javé se afaste de Israel”.
5 And Moses said unto the judges of Israel, —Slay ye each one his men, who have let themselves he bound unto Baal-peor.
Moisés disse aos juízes de Israel: “Todos matam seus homens que se uniram a Baal Peor”.
6 And lo! a man of the sons of Israel coming in, who brought near unto his brethren a Midianite woman, before the eyes of Moses, and before the eyes of all the assembly of the sons of Israel, when they were weeping at the entrance of the tent of meeting.
Eis que um dos filhos de Israel veio e trouxe a seus irmãos uma mulher midianita aos olhos de Moisés e de toda a congregação dos filhos de Israel, enquanto choravam à porta da Tenda da Reunião.
7 And Phinehas son of Eleazar, son of Aaron the priest saw it, so he rose up out of the midst of the assembly, and took a spear in his hand;
Quando Phinehas, o filho de Eleazar, o filho de Arão, o sacerdote, viu isso, levantou-se do meio da congregação e pegou uma lança em sua mão.
8 and went in after the man of Israel into the pleasure-tent, and thrust both of them through, the man of Israel and the woman, in her parts of shame, —so the plague was restrained from against the sons of Israel.
Ele foi atrás do homem de Israel até o pavilhão, e empurrou ambos, o homem de Israel, e a mulher através de seu corpo. Então a peste foi detida entre os filhos de Israel.
9 Then was it found that they who had died by the plague were four and twenty thousand.
Os que morreram pela peste eram vinte e quatro mil.
10 Then spake Yahweh unto Moses saying:
Yahweh falou a Moisés, dizendo:
11 Phinehas son of Eleazar son of Aaron the priest, hath turned back my wrath from against the sons of Israel, in that he was jealous with my jealousy, in their midst, so that I made not an end of the sons of Israel. in my jealousy.
“Phinehas, o filho de Eleazar, o filho de Arão, o sacerdote, afastou minha ira dos filhos de Israel, pois tinha ciúmes com meu ciúme entre eles, para que eu não consumisse os filhos de Israel em meu ciúme.
12 Wherefore say, —Behold me! giving unto him my covenant of peace;
Por isso diz: “Eis que eu lhe dou meu pacto de paz”.
13 so shall it prove to be unto him and unto his seed after him, the covenant of our age-abiding priesthood, because he was jealous for his God, and did put a propitiatory-covering over the sons of Israel.
Será para ele, e para seus descendentes depois dele, o pacto de um sacerdócio eterno, porque teve inveja de seu Deus, e fez expiação pelos filhos de Israel””.
14 Now, the name of the man of Israel that was smitten, who was smitten with the Midianitish woman, was Zimri son of Salu, —prince of an ancestral house of the Simeonites;
Now o nome do homem de Israel que foi morto, que foi morto com a mulher midianita, era Zimri, o filho de Salu, príncipe da casa de um pai entre os simeonitas.
15 and, the name of the woman who was smitten, the Midianitess, was Cozbi, daughter of Zur, —the head of his kindred, of an ancestral house in Midian, was he.
O nome da mulher midianita que foi assassinada era Cozbi, a filha de Zur. Ele era o chefe do povo da casa de um pai em Midian.
16 And Yahweh spake unto Moses saying:
Yahweh falou a Moisés, dizendo:
17 Besiege the Midianites, —and ye shall smite them:
“Ataquem os midianitas, e ataquem-nos;
18 for, besiegers, were they unto you, with their wiles wherewith they beguiled you, over the matter of Peor, —and over he matter of Cozbi, daughter of a prince of Midian, their sister, who was smitten in the day of the plague, over the matter of Peor.
pois eles o assediaram com suas artimanhas, em que o enganaram no caso de Peor, e no incidente relativo a Cozbi, a filha do príncipe de Midian, sua irmã, que foi assassinada no dia da praga no caso de Peor”.
