Numbers 31
1 Yahweh spoke to Moses/me and said,
Yahweh falou a Moisés, dizendo:
2 “Before you die, [tell the] Israeli people that they should (pay back/get revenge on) the Midian people-group for what they did to you.”
“Vingar as crianças de Israel nos midianitas”. Depois disso, vocês serão reunidos ao seu povo”.
3 So Moses/I said to the people, “Get some men prepared for battle. Yahweh will enable them to (pay back/get revenge on) the Midian people-group [for what they did to us].
Moisés falou ao povo, dizendo: “Armem homens dentre vocês para a guerra, para que possam ir contra Midian, para executar a vingança de Yahweh sobre Midian.
4 Select 1,000 men from each tribe to fight.”
Vocês enviarão mil de cada tribo, de todas as tribos de Israel, para a guerra”.
5 So 12,000 men prepared for fighting in the battle, 1,000 from each tribe.
So foram entregues, dos milhares de Israel, mil de cada tribo, doze mil armados para a guerra.
6 When Moses/I sent them to the battle, Phinehas, the son of Eleazar the priest, went with them. He took with him some of the things from the Sacred Tent and the trumpets that would be blown to give the signal [to start the battle].
Moisés os enviou, mil de cada tribo, para a guerra com Finéias, filho de Eleazar, o sacerdote, para a guerra, com os vasos do santuário e as trombetas para o alarme em sua mão.
7 The Israeli men fought the soldiers from the Midian people-group, as Yahweh had told Moses/me to tell them to do, and they killed every man from the Midian people-group.
Eles lutaram contra Midian, como Yahweh ordenou a Moisés. Eles mataram todos os homens.
8 Among those whom they killed were the five kings of the Midian people-group—Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur, and Reba. They also killed with a sword Balaam, the son of Beor.
Mataram os reis de Midiã com o resto de seus mortos: Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur, e Reba, os cinco reis de Midiã. Eles também mataram Balaão, o filho de Beor, com a espada.
9 They captured all the women and children of the Midian people-group and took away their cattle, their flocks of sheep, and herds of goats, and all their other possessions.
Os filhos de Israel levaram as mulheres de Midian cativas com seus pequenos; e todo o seu gado, todos os seus rebanhos e todos os seus bens, eles levaram como pilhagem.
10 Then they burned down all the houses in the towns and villages where the people of the Midian people-group lived,
Todas as suas cidades nos lugares em que viviam, e todos os seus acampamentos, queimavam com fogo.
11 but they took home with them all the women and children and animals and possessions.
Levaram todos os cativos, e todo o saque, tanto do homem como do animal.
12 They brought all these to Eliezer and Moses/me, and to the rest of the Israeli people who were at their/our camp on the plains where the Moab people-group lived, near the Jordan River, across from Jericho.
Levaram os cativos com a presa e o saque, a Moisés, e a Eleazar, o sacerdote, e à congregação dos filhos de Israel, ao acampamento nas planícies de Moab, que estão junto ao Jordão em Jericó.
13 Eleazar and all the leaders of the people and Moses/I went outside the camp to greet/meet with them.
Moisés e Eleazar, o sacerdote, com todos os príncipes da congregação, saíram ao seu encontro fora do acampamento.
14 But Moses/I was angry with some of the men who had returned from the battle. He/I was angry with the army officers and the men who were commanders of 1,000 men and those who were commanders of 100 men.
Moisés ficou furioso com os oficiais do exército, os capitães de milhares e os capitães de centenas, que vieram do serviço da guerra.
15 He/I asked them, “Why did you allow the women to live [RHQ]?
Moisés disse-lhes: “Vocês salvaram todas as mulheres vivas?
16 They are the ones who did what Balaam suggested and urged/persuaded our people to worship Baal [instead of Yahweh]. As a result, Yahweh caused a plague to strike his people while they were at Peor.
Eis que estas fizeram com que as crianças de Israel, através do conselho de Balaão, cometessem transgressão contra Javé no caso de Peor, e assim a praga estava entre a congregação de Javé.
17 So, now you must kill all the boys of the Midian people-group, and also kill all the women who have had sex [EUP] with any man.
Agora, portanto, matem todos os homens entre os pequenos, e matem todas as mulheres que conheceram o homem, deitando-se com ele.
18 Spare only the girls who are virgins [EUP]. You can keep them to be your [wives or your slaves].
Mas todas as meninas, que não conheceram o homem deitando-se com ele, mantenham-se vivas para si mesmas.
19 All of you who have killed someone or touched the corpse of someone who was killed [in the battle] must stay outside the camp for seven days. On the third day and on the seventh day, you must [perform the ritual to] cause you and those whom you have captured to become acceptable to God again.
“Acampar fora do acampamento por sete dias. Quem matou qualquer pessoa, e quem tocou qualquer morto, purifiquem-se no terceiro dia e no sétimo dia, você e seus cativos.
20 You must also wash your clothes and anything [that you took to the battle] that is made of leather or goat’s hair or wood.”
Purificareis toda vestimenta, e tudo o que é feito de pele, e todo o trabalho de pêlos de cabras, e todas as coisas feitas de madeira”.
21 Then Eleazar said to the soldiers who had returned from the battle, “This is what Yahweh has instructed Moses:
Eleazar, o sacerdote, disse aos homens de guerra que foram à batalha: “Este é o estatuto da lei que Yahweh ordenou a Moisés.
22 You must put into a fire any gold or silver or bronze or iron or tin or lead things [that you brought back from the battle].
Entretanto o ouro, a prata, o bronze, o ferro, o estanho e o chumbo,
23 Put everything that will not burn into the fire, and then they will be acceptable for you to use. But also sprinkle those things with the water that causes things and people to become acceptable to God. The things that would burn [if you put them] in a fire, sprinkle them with that water.
tudo o que possa resistir ao fogo, você fará para atravessar o fogo, e ele será limpo; no entanto, será purificado com a água para a impureza. Tudo o que não resistir ao fogo, você deverá fazer para atravessar a água.
24 On the seventh day, wash your clothes, and then you will become acceptable to God again. After you do that, you may return to the camp.”
Lavarão suas roupas no sétimo dia e estarão limpas. Depois, entrareis no acampamento”.
25 Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
Yahweh falou a Moisés, dizendo:
26 “Tell Eleazar and the leaders of the family groups that they must write down a list of all the goods, the women, and the animals that were captured [in the battle].
“Conte o saque que foi levado, tanto do homem quanto do animal, você, e Eleazar, o sacerdote, e os chefes de família dos pais da congregação;
27 Then they must divide all those things, half given to the men who fought in the battle and the other half given to the rest of the people.
e divida o saque em duas partes: entre os homens hábeis na guerra, que saíram para a batalha, e toda a congregação.
28 From the men who fought in the battle, take one from every 500 people and from every 500 cattle and donkeys and sheep, to be a tax for me.
Levar um tributo a Javé dos homens de guerra que saíram para a batalha: uma alma de quinhentos; das pessoas, do gado, dos burros, e dos rebanhos.
29 Take these things to Eleazar to (be my share/belong to me).
Pegue-a de sua metade e dê-a a Eleazar, o sacerdote, pela oferta da onda de Yahweh.
30 And from the half that belongs to the ordinary people, take one item from every 50. That includes people, cattle, donkeys, sheep, goats, and other animals. Give those things to the descendants of Levi who take care of my Sacred Tent.”
Da metade dos filhos de Israel, tirareis um de cada cinqüenta, das pessoas, do gado, dos burros e dos rebanhos, de todo o gado, e os dareis aos levitas, que cumprem o dever do tabernáculo de Iavé”.
31 So Eleazar and Moses/I did what Yahweh commanded.
Moisés e Eleazar, o sacerdote, fizeram como Yahweh ordenou a Moisés.
32 There were 675,000 sheep, 72,000 cattle, 61,000 donkeys, and 32,000 virgins that they had captured from the Midian people-group.
Agora o saque, além do saque que os homens de guerra levaram, era de seiscentas e setenta e cinco mil ovelhas,
seventy-dois mil cabeças de gado,
sixty-um mil burros,
e trinta e duas mil pessoas no total, das mulheres que não tinham conhecido o homem deitado com ele.
36 The men who fought in the battle took 337,000 sheep [from the battle],
A metade, que foi a porção dos que saíram para a guerra, estava em número de trezentas e trinta e sete mil e quinhentas ovelhas;
37 and they gave 675 of them to Yahweh.
e a homenagem de Javé às ovelhas foi seiscentas e setenta e cinco.
38 They took 36,000 cattle and gave 72 of them to Yahweh.
O gado era de trinta e seis mil, dos quais a homenagem de Iavé era de setenta e dois.
39 They took 30,500 donkeys, and they gave 61 of them to Yahweh.
Os burros eram trinta mil e quinhentos, dos quais o tributo de Iavé era sessenta e um.
40 They took 16,000 virgins, and they dedicated 32 of them to Yahweh.
As pessoas eram dezesseis mil, das quais o tributo de Iavé era de trinta e duas pessoas.
41 Moses/I gave to Eleazar all [the animals] that had been given to Yahweh, as Yahweh had commanded.
Moisés deu o tributo, que era a oferta de onda de Iavé, a Eleazar, o sacerdote, como Iavé ordenou a Moisés.
42 Moses/I separated what those who had fought in the battle received from what the other people received. The people had taken 337,500 sheep, 36,000 cattle, 30,500 donkeys, and 16,000 virgins,
Da metade dos filhos de Israel, que Moisés dividiu dos homens que lutaram
(agora a metade da congregação era de trezentos e trinta e sete mil e quinhentas ovelhas,
thirty-seis mil cabeças de gado,
trinta e quinhentos burros,
e dezesseis mil pessoas),
47 From what the people received, Moses/I took one from every 50 items and dedicated them to Yahweh. That included animals and people. As Yahweh commanded, he/I gave them all to the descendants of Levi who took care of the Sacred Tent.
mesmo da metade dos filhos de Israel, Moisés tirou um de cada cinqüenta, tanto do homem como do animal, e os deu aos levitas, que cumpriram o dever do tabernáculo de Javé, como Javé ordenou a Moisés.
48 Then the army officers and those who commanded 1,000 men and those who commanded 100 men came to Moses/me.
Os oficiais que estavam acima dos milhares do exército, os capitães de milhares, e os capitães de centenas, aproximaram-se de Moisés.
49 They said, “We, who are your servants, have counted the soldiers whom we command, and [we found that] none of them (is missing/has been killed).
Eles disseram a Moisés: “Seus servos tomaram a soma dos homens de guerra que estão sob nosso comando, e não falta um só homem de nós.
50 So [to thank Yahweh for that], we have brought to him a gift of the gold items that we found [after the battle]: Gold arm bands and bracelets and rings and earrings and necklaces. This will enable us to be forgiven for our sins.”
Trouxemos a oferta de Javé, o que todo homem encontrou: ornamentos de ouro, braceletes, pulseiras, anéis de sinalização, brincos e colares, para fazer expiação por nossas almas diante de Javé”.
51 So Eleazar and Moses/I accepted the gold items that they brought.
Moisés e Eleazar, o sacerdote, levaram seu ouro, mesmo todas as jóias trabalhadas.
52 The total of it weighed about (420 pounds/190 kg.).
Todo o ouro da oferta da onda que eles ofereceram a Javé, dos capitães de milhares e dos capitães de centenas, foi de dezesseis mil setecentos e cinqüenta siclos.
53 Each soldier had taken these things for himself.
Os homens de guerra tinham levado espólio, cada um por si.
54 Eleazar and Moses/I accepted these gold items from these commanders and put them in the Sacred Tent to remind the Israeli people about how Yahweh [had helped them defeat the Midian people-group].
Moisés e Eleazar, o sacerdote, levaram o ouro dos capitães de milhares e de centenas, e o trouxeram à Tenda da Reunião para um memorial para os filhos de Israel antes de Yahweh.
