Leviticus 10
1 [Two of] Aaron’s sons, Nadab and Abihu, took the pans in which they burned incense. They put some burning coals in them and put incense on top of the coals, but this fire was not acceptable [to Yahweh] because it was not the kind that he had commanded them to burn.
Nadab e Abihu, os filhos de Aarão, cada um pegou seu incensário, colocou fogo e incendiou-o, e ofereceu fogo estranho diante de Iavé, que ele não lhes havia comandado.
2 So suddenly a fire from Yahweh appeared and burned them up [DOU] in the presence of Yahweh.
O fogo saiu de antes de Yahweh, e os devorou, e eles morreram antes de Yahweh.
3 Then Moses/I said to Aaron, “That is what Yahweh predicted. He said, ‘Those priests who come near to me, I will show them that they must (respect me/treat me as being holy); in the presence of all the people I am the one who must be honored.’” But Aaron said nothing.
Então Moisés disse a Aaron: “Era disto que Yahweh falava, dizendo, “Mostrar-me-ei santo para aqueles que se aproximam de mim”, e diante de todas as pessoas serei glorificado”. Aaron manteve sua paz.
4 Then Moses/I summoned Mishael and Elzaphan, who were the sons of Aaron’s uncle Uzziel, and said to them, “Take [the corpses of] your cousins outside the camp, away from the front of the Sacred Tent.”
Moisés chamou Mishael e Elzaphan, os filhos de Uzziel, tio de Aarão, e disse-lhes: “Aproximai-vos, levai vossos irmãos de diante do santuário para fora do acampamento”.
5 So they carried the corpses, which still had their special gowns on, outside the camp, [and buried them].
Então eles se aproximaram, e os levaram em suas túnicas para fora do acampamento, como Moisés havia dito.
6 Then Moses/I said to Aaron and his [other two] sons Eleazar and Ithamar, “[You are sad because Nadab and Abihu died, but you must act like you always do]. Do not allow the hair on your [heads] to remain uncombed, and do not tear your clothes. But your relatives and all your fellow Israelis are allowed to mourn for those whom Yahweh destroyed by fire.
Moisés disse a Aarão, a Eleazar e a Itamar, seus filhos: “Não soltem os cabelos de vossas cabeças e não rasguem suas roupas, para que não morram, e para que ele não se irrite com toda a congregação; mas deixem seus irmãos, toda a casa de Israel, lamentar a queima que Javé acendeu.
7 But you must not leave the entrance of the Sacred Tent [to join those who are mourning], because if you do that, you also will die, and Yahweh will punish [MTY] all the people of Israel. Do not forget that Yahweh has set you apart [MTY] to work for him here, [and he does not want you to become defiled by touching a corpse].” So they did what Moses/I told them to do.
Não saireis da porta da Tenda da Reunião, para que não morrais; pois o óleo da unção de Iavé está sobre vós”. Eles fizeram de acordo com a palavra de Moisés.
8 Then Yahweh said to Aaron,
Então Javé disse a Arão,
9 “You and your [two] sons [who are still alive] must not drink wine or other fermented drinks before you enter the Sacred Tent; if you do that, you will die. That is a command that you and your descendants must obey forever.
“Você e seus filhos não devem beber vinho ou bebida forte sempre que entrarem na Tenda da Reunião, ou vocês morrerão. Este será um estatuto para sempre ao longo de suas gerações”.
10 You must do that in order to learn what things are holy and what things are (not holy/common), and [from the things that are not holy] you must learn what things are acceptable to me and what things are not.
Vocês devem fazer uma distinção entre o santo e o comum, e entre o impuro e o limpo.
11 And you must teach to the Israeli people all the laws that I gave to the Israeli people by telling them to Moses.”
Vocês devem ensinar aos filhos de Israel todos os estatutos que Iavé lhes falou por Moisés”.
12 Moses/I said to Aaron and his two sons who were still alive, Eleazar and Ithamar, “Take the offering made from grain that is left after a portion of it has been offered to Yahweh to be burned, and eat it alongside the altar. [It should not be eaten elsewhere], because it is very holy.
Moisés falou a Arão, a Eleazar e a Itamar, seus filhos que ficaram: “Tomai a oferta de alimentos que sobrou das ofertas de Javé feitas pelo fogo, e comei-a sem fermento ao lado do altar, porque é santíssimo;
13 Eat it in a holy place; it is the share for you and your sons from the offerings that were burned; I have commanded that it be your share.
e comê-la-eis em lugar santo, porque é a vossa porção, e a porção de vossos filhos, das ofertas de Javé feitas pelo fogo; pois assim me foi ordenado.
14 But you and your sons and daughters are permitted to eat the breast and the thigh that were lifted up in front of Yahweh. Eat them in any place that is (holy/acceptable to him). They have been given to you and your descendants as your share of the offerings to enable the Israelis to maintain fellowship [with Yahweh].
O peito ondulado e a coxa pesada comereis em lugar limpo, vós e vossos filhos, e vossas filhas convosco; pois são dados como vossa porção, e a porção de vossos filhos, dos sacrifícios das ofertas pacíficas dos filhos de Israel.
15 The thigh and the breast that were lifted up in front of Yahweh must be brought with the portions of fat to be burned, to be lifted up in his presence. They will be the regular share for you and your descendants, as Yahweh has commanded.”
Eles trarão a coxa pesada e o peito ondulado com as ofertas feitas pelo fogo da gordura, para acená-la para uma oferta de onda diante de Iavé. Será sua, e de seus filhos com você, como uma porção para sempre, como Javé ordenou”.
16 When Moses/I inquired about the goat that had been sacrificed to enable the people to be forgiven by Yahweh for the sins they had committed, he/I found out that it had been completely burned. So he/I was angry with Eleazar and Ithamar and asked them,
Moisés perguntou diligentemente sobre a cabra da oferta pelo pecado, e eis que ela foi queimada. Ele estava zangado com Eleazar e com Itamar, os filhos de Arão que ficaram, dizendo:
17 “Why did you not eat near the Sacred Tent the meat of the offering for sin? It was very holy, and it was given to you to enable the Israeli people to no longer be guilty for their sins and to be forgiven for their sins.
“Por que não comeste a oferta pelo pecado no lugar do santuário, já que é santíssimo, e ele a deu a ti para suportar a iniqüidade da congregação, para fazer expiação por eles perante Javé?
18 Since its blood was not taken into the holy place inside the Sacred Tent, you should have eaten the [meat of] the goat near the Sacred Tent, as I commanded.”
Eis que seu sangue não foi trazido para o interior do santuário. Certamente o devíeis ter comido no santuário, como eu ordenei”.
19 Aaron replied to Moses/me, “Today the people brought to Yahweh their offering to be forgiven for the sins they had committed, and the offering to be completely burned, [and surely that pleased Yahweh], but [think about the terrible thing] that happened to my other two sons! Would [RHQ] Yahweh have been pleased if I had eaten some of the offering to cause the people to become acceptable to God?”
Arão falou a Moisés: “Eis que hoje eles ofereceram sua oferta pelo pecado e seu holocausto diante de Javé; e coisas como estas aconteceram comigo. Se eu tivesse comido a oferta pelo pecado hoje, teria sido agradável aos olhos de Iavé”?
20 When Moses/I heard that, he/I was satisfied.
Quando Moisés ouviu isso, foi agradável aos seus olhos.
