< Numbers 3 >

1 These are some of the things that happened to Aaron and Moses/me when Yahweh spoke to Moses/me on Sinai Mountain.
E estas são as gerações de Aarão e de Moysés, no dia em que o Senhor fallou com Moysés no monte de Sinai
2 Aaron’s four sons were Nadab the oldest, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
E estes são os nomes dos filhos de Aarão: o primogenito Nadab; depois Abihu, Eleasar e Ithamar.
3 They were appointed [MTY] (OR, Moses/I appointed them) to be priests.
Estes são os nomes dos filhos de Aarão, dos sacerdotes ungidos, cujas mãos foram sagradas para administrar o sacerdocio.
4 But, while Yahweh was watching, Nadab and Abihu died in the Sinai Desert because they burned [incense] in a manner that was different from what Yahweh had commanded. They had no sons, so Eleazar and Ithamar were the [only] sons of Aaron who [were left to be] priests, along with their father Aaron.
Mas Nadab e Abihu morreram perante o Senhor, quando offereceram fogo estranho perante o Senhor no deserto de Sinai, e não tiveram filhos: porém Eleasar e Ithamar administraram o sacerdocio diante de Aarão, seu pae.
5 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,
E fallou o Senhor a Moysés, dizendo:
6 “Bring [the men of] the tribe of Levi and present them to Aaron, in order that they may assist him.
Faze chegar a tribu de Levi, e põe-n'a diante de Aarão, o sacerdote, para que o sirvam,
7 They will serve Aaron and all the other Israeli people, while they do their work inside the Sacred Tent and outside it.
E tenham cuidado da sua guarda, e da guarda de toda a congregação, diante da tenda da congregação, para administrar o ministerio do tabernaculo.
8 They must serve all the Israeli people by taking care of all the things that are inside the Sacred Tent.
E tenham cuidado de todos os vasos da tenda da congregação, e da guarda dos filhos de Israel, para administrar o ministerio do tabernaculo.
9 Appoint them to [help] Aaron and his two sons. I have chosen them from all the Israeli people to do that.
Darás pois os levitas a Aarão e a seus filhos: d'entre os filhos de Israel lhes são dados em dadiva.
10 Appoint Aaron and his two sons to do the work that priests do. But anyone else who comes close to the Sacred Tent [to do that work] must be executed.”
Mas a Aarão e a seus filhos ordenarás que guardem o seu sacerdocio, e estranho que chegar morrerá.
11 Yahweh also told Moses/me,
E fallou o Senhor a Moysés, dizendo:
12 “Note that from all the Israelis, I have chosen the men of the tribe of Levi to take the places of all the firstborn sons of the Israeli people. The male descendants of Levi belong to me,
E eu, eis que, tenho tomado os levitas do meio dos filhos de Israel, em logar de todo o primogenito, que abre a madre, entre os filhos de Israel: e os levitas serão meus.
13 because truly all the firstborn [males] belong to me. That is because on the day that I killed all the firstborn [sons] of the people of Egypt, I [spared] all the firstborn [sons] of the Israelis and set them apart for myself. I also set apart the firstborn [males] of your domestic animals. They belong to me, Yahweh.”
Porque todo o primogenito meu é: desde o dia em que tenho ferido a todo o primogenito na terra do Egypto, sanctifiquei-me todo o primogenito em Israel, desde o homem até ao animal: meus serão; Eu sou o Senhor.
14 Yahweh spoke to Moses/me again in the Sinai Desert. He said,
E fallou o Senhor a Moysés no deserto de Sinai, dizendo:
15 “Count the male members of the tribe of Levi. Write down their names and the names of their clans and family groups. Count all the males who are at least one month old.”
Conta os filhos de Levi, segundo a casa de seus paes, pelas suas gerações; contarás a todo o macho da edade de um anno e para cima.
16 So Moses/I counted them, just as Yahweh commanded.
E Moysés os contou conforme ao mandado do Senhor, como lhe foi ordenado.
17 Levi had [three] sons, whose names were Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
Estes pois foram os filhos de Levi pelos seus nomes: Gerson, e Kohath e Merari.
18 Gershon had [two] sons: Libni and Shimei. The clans that were descended from them had the same names as those [two] sons.
E estes são os nomes dos filhos de Gerson pelas suas gerações; Libni e Simei.
19 Kohath had [four] sons: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel. The clans that were descended from them had the same names as those [four] sons.
E os filhos de Kohath pelas suas gerações: Amram, e Jizhar, Hebron e Uziel.
20 Merari had [two] sons: Mahli and Mushi. The clans that were descended from them had the same names as those [two] sons. Those are the clans that were descended from Levi.
E os filhos de Merari pelas suas gerações: Maheli e Musi: estas são as gerações dos levitas, segundo a casa de seus paes
21 The two clans descended from Gershon are those that were descended from [his sons] Libni and Shimei.
De Gerson é a geração dos libnitas e a geração dos simeitas: estas são as gerações dos gersonitas.
22 In those two clans there were 7,500 males who were at least one month old.
Os que d'elles foram contados pelo numero de todo o macho da edade de um mez e para cima, os que d'elles foram contados foram sete mil e quinhentos.
23 They were told to set up their tents on the west side of the Sacred Tent.
As gerações dos gersonitas assentarão as suas tendas atraz do tabernaculo, ao occidente.
24 The leader of those two clans was Eliasaph, the son of Lael.
E o principe da casa paterna dos gersonitas será Eliasaph, filho de Lael.
25 Their work was to take care of the Sacred Tent, including the coverings of the tent, the curtain at the entrance of the tent,
E a guarda dos filhos de Gerson na tenda da congregação será o tabernaculo, e a tenda, a sua coberta, e o véu da porta da tenda da congregação,
26 the (curtains/large pieces of cloth) that formed the walls around the courtyard that is around the tent and around the altar, the curtains that were at the entrance of the courtyard, and the ropes [for fastening the tent]. They also did all the work of taking care of the things outside the Sacred Tent.
E as cortinas do pateo, e o pavilhão da porta do pateo, que estão junto ao tabernaculo e junto ao altar, em redor: como tambem as suas cordas para todo o seu serviço.
27 The clans that were descended from Kohath were those descended from his four sons: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel.
E de Kohath é a geração dos amramitas, e a geração dos jiznaritas, e a geração dos hebronitas, e a geração dos hussielitas: estas são as gerações dos kohathitas.
28 In those four clans there were 8,600 males who were at least one month old. The work of the men of the clans was to take care of [the things that are inside] the Sacred Tent.
Pelo numero contado de todo o macho da edade de um mez e para cima, foram cito mil e seiscentos, que tinham cuidado da guarda do sanctuario.
29 They set up their tents on the south side of the Sacred Tent.
As gerações dos filhos de Kohath assentarão as suas tendas ao lado do tabernaculo, da banda do sul.
30 The leader of those four clans was Elizaphan, the son of Uzziel.
E o principe de casa paterna das gerações dos kohathitas será Elisaphan, filho de Ussiel.
31 The work of the men of those clans was to take care of the sacred chest, the table [on which the priest put the sacred bread], the lampstand, the altars, all the items that the priest used in the Sacred Tent, and the curtain that is inside the tent. Their work was also to take care of the things inside the tent.
E a sua guarda será a arca, e a mesa, e o castiçal, e os altares, e os vasos do sanctuario com que ministram, e o véu com todo o seu serviço.
32 Aaron’s son Eleazar was the leader of all the male descendants of Levi. He supervised all the work that was done at the Sacred Tent.
E o principe dos principes de Levi será Eleasar, filho de Aarão, o sacerdote: terá a superintendencia sobre os que teem cuidado da guarda do sanctuario.
33 The clans that were descended from Merari were those descended from [his sons] Mahli and Mushi.
De Merari é a geração dos mahelitas e a geração dos musitas; estas são as gerações de Merari.
34 In those two clans there were 6,200 males who were at least one month old.
E os que d'elles foram contados pelo numero de todo o macho de um mez e para cima foram seis mil e duzentos.
35 They were told to set up their tents on the north side of the Sacred Tent. The leader of those two clans was Zuriel, the son of Abihail.
E o principe da casa paterna das gerações de Merari será Suriel, filho de Abihail: assentarão as suas tendas ao lado do tabernaculo, da banda do norte.
36 The work of the men of those two clans was to take care of the frames that held up the tent, the crossbars, the pillars, and the bases. They also did all the work that was connected with those items.
E o cargo da guarda dos filhos de Merari serão as taboas do tabernaculo, e os seus varaes, e as suas columnas, e as suas bases, e todos os seus vasos, com todo o seu serviço,
37 Their work was also to take care of the posts [that held up the curtains that formed the walls of] the courtyard, and all the bases, tent pegs, and ropes [that fastened those curtains].
E as columnas do pateo em redor, e as suas bases, e as suas estacas e as suas cordas.
38 Aaron and Moses/I and Aaron’s sons were told to set up their/our tents in the area in front of the Sacred Tent, on the east side. Their/Our work was to supervise the work that would be done in and around the Sacred Tent, for the benefit of the Israeli people. Only the priests were permitted to do that. [Yahweh declared that] we should execute anyone else who went near the tent [to do the work that the priests do].
E os que assentarão as suas tendas diante do tabernaculo, ao oriente, diante da tenda da congregação, para a banda do nascente, serão Moysés e Aarão, com seus filhos, tendo o cuidado da guarda do sanctuario, pela guarda dos filhos de Israel: e o estranho que se chegar morrerá.
39 When Aaron and Moses/I counted all the males who were at least one month old, who belonged to the clans descended from Levi, the total was 22,000.
Todos os que foram contados dos levitas, que contou Moysés e Aarão, por mandado do Senhor, segundo as suas gerações, todo o macho de um mez e para cima, foram vinte e dois mil
40 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Now count all the [other] firstborn males in Israel who are at least one month old, and write down their names.
E disse o Senhor a Moysés: Conta todo e primogenito macho dos filhos d'Israel, da edade d'um mez e para cima, e toma o numero dos seus nomes.
41 Also, set apart for me the descendants of Levi to be substitutes for the firstborn males of the other Israelis. And set apart for me the livestock of the descendants of Levi to be substitutes for the firstborn livestock of the other Israeli people.”
E para mim tomarás os levitas (Eu sou o Senhor), em logar de todo o primogenito dos filhos d'Israel, e os animaes dos levitas, em logar de todo o primogenito entre os animaes dos filhos d'Israel.
42 So Moses/I did that. He/I counted the firstborn males of all the Israeli people, as Yahweh had commanded.
E contou Moysés, como o Senhor lhe ordenara, todo o primogenito entre os filhos d'Israel.
43 The total of those who were at least one month old was 22,273.
E todos os primogenitos dos machos, pelo numero dos nomes dos da edade d'um mez e para cima, segundo os que foram contados d'elles, foram vinte e dois mil e duzentos e sessenta e tres.
44 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,
E fallou o Senhor a Moysés, dizendo:
45 “Set apart the descendants of Levi to be substitutes for [the firstborn males of] the other Israeli people. The descendants of Levi belong to me, Yahweh.
Toma os levitas em logar de todo o primogenito entre os filhos d'Israel, e os animaes dos levitas em logar dos seus animaes: porquanto os levitas serão meus: Eu sou o Senhor.
46 There are 273 more firstborn males of the other Israeli people than of the descendants of Levi.
Quanto aos duzentos e setenta e tres, que se houverem de resgatar, que sobrepujam aos levitas dos primogenitos dos filhos d'Israel,
47 To pay for these 273 males, collect five pieces of silver for each of them. Each of those pieces of silver must weigh the same as each of the silver coins that are stored in the Sacred Tent. Give this silver to Aaron and his sons.”
Tomarás por cada cabeça cinco siclos: conforme ao siclo do sanctuario os tomarás, a vinte geras o siclo.
E a Aarão e a seus filhos darás o dinheiro dos resgatados, dos que sobejam entre elles.
49 So Moses/I did that. He/I collected the silver from those 273 males.
Então Moysés tomou o dinheiro do resgate dos que sobejaram sobre os resgatados pelos levitas.
50 The total was 1,365 pieces of silver. Each silver coin weighed the same as each of the silver coins stored in the Sacred Tent.
Dos primogenitos dos filhos d'Israel tomou o dinheiro, mil e trezentos e sessenta e cinco siclos, segundo o siclo do sanctuario.
51 Moses/I gave these silver coins to Aaron and his sons, as Yahweh had commanded.
E Moysés deu o dinheiro dos resgatados a Aarão e a seus filhos, segundo o mandado do Senhor, como o Senhor ordenara a Moysés.
