Numbers 25
1 Israel stayed in Shittim; and the people began to play the prostitute with the daughters of Moab;
E Israel deteve-se em Sittim, e o povo começou a fornicar com as filhas dos moabitas.
2 for they called the people to the sacrifices of their gods. The people ate and bowed down to their gods.
E convidaram o povo aos sacrificios dos seus deuses; e o povo comeu, e inclinou-se aos seus deuses.
3 Israel joined himself to Baal Peor, and the LORD’s anger burnt against Israel.
Juntando-se pois Israel a Baalpeor, a ira do Senhor se accendeu contra Israel.
4 The LORD said to Moses, “Take all the chiefs of the people, and hang them up to the LORD before the sun, that the fierce anger of the LORD may turn away from Israel.”
Disse o Senhor a Moysés: Toma todos os Cabeças do povo, e enforca-os ao Senhor diante do sol, e o ardor da ira do Senhor se retirará d'Israel.
5 Moses said to the judges of Israel, “Everyone kill his men who have joined themselves to Baal Peor.”
Então Moysés disse aos juizes d'Israel: Cada um mate os seus homens que se conjuntaram a Baalpeor.
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.
E eis que veiu um homem dos filhos de Israel, e trouxe a seus irmãos uma midianita aos olhos de Moysés, e aos olhos de toda a congregação dos filhos de Israel, chorando elles diante da tenda da congregação.
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.
Vendo isso Phineas, filho de Eleazar, o filho d'Aarão, sacerdote, se levantou do meio da congregação, e tomou uma lança na sua mão
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 amongst the children of Israel.
E foi após do varão israelita até á tenda, e os atravessou a ambos, ao varão israelita e á mulher, pela sua barriga: então a praga cessou de sobre os filhos de Israel
9 Those who died by the plague were twenty-four thousand.
E os que morreram d'aquella praga foram vinte e quatro mil.
10 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Então o Senhor fallou a Moysés, dizendo:
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 amongst them, so that I didn’t consume the children of Israel in my jealousy.
Phineas, filho d'Eleazar, o filho d'Aarão sacerdote, desviou a minha ira de sobre os filhos de Israel, pois zelou o meu zelo no meio d'elles; que no meu zelo não consumi os filhos d'Israel.
12 Therefore say, ‘Behold, I give to him my covenant of peace.
Portanto dize: Eis que lhe dou o meu concerto de paz,
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.’”
E elle, e a sua semente depois d'elle, terá o concerto do sacerdocio perpetuo; porquanto teve zelo pelo seu Deus, e fez propiciação pelos filhos d'Israel.
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 amongst the Simeonites.
E o nome do israelita morto, que foi morto com a midianita, era Zimri, filho de Salu, maioral da casa paterna dos simeonitas.
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.
E o nome da mulher midianita, morta, era Cosbi, filha de Zur, cabeça do povo da casa paterna entre os midianitas.
16 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Fallou mais o Senhor a Moysés, dizendo:
17 “Harass the Midianites, and strike them;
Affligireis os midianitas e os ferireis,
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.”
Porque elles vos affligiram a vós outros com os seus enganos com que vos enganaram no negocio de Peor, e no negocio de Cosbi, filha do maioral dos midianitas, a irmã d'elles, que foi morta no dia da praga no negocio de Peor.
