Números 25

1 E Israel deteve-se em Sittim, e o povo começou a fornicar com as filhas dos moabitas.

Now when Israel was living in Shittim the people became false to the Lord, doing evil with the daughters of Moab:

2 E convidaram o povo aos sacrificios dos seus deuses; e o povo comeu, e inclinou-se aos seus deuses.

For they sent for the people to be present at the offerings made to their gods; and the people took part in their feasts and gave honour to their gods.

3 Juntando-se pois Israel a Baalpeor, a ira do Senhor se accendeu contra Israel.

So Israel had relations with the women of Moab in honour of the Baal of Peor: and the Lord was moved to wrath against Israel.

4 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.

Then the Lord said to Moses, Take all the chiefs of the people, hanging them up in the sun before the Lord, so that the wrath of the Lord may be turned from Israel.

5 Então Moysés disse aos juizes d'Israel: Cada um mate os seus homens que se conjuntaram a Baalpeor.

So Moses said to the judges of Israel, Let everyone put to death those of his men who have had relations with the women of Moab in honour of the Baal of Peor.

6 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.

Then one of the children of Israel came to his brothers, taking with him a woman of Midian, before the eyes of Moses and all the meeting of the people, while they were weeping at the door of the Tent of meeting.

7 Vendo isso Phineas, filho de Eleazar, o filho d'Aarão, sacerdote, se levantou do meio da congregação, e tomou uma lança na sua mão

And Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, seeing it, got up from among the people and took a spear in his hand,

8 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

And went after the man of Israel into the tent, driving the spear through the two of them, through the man of Israel and through the stomach of the woman. So the disease was stopped among the children of Israel.

9 E os que morreram d'aquella praga foram vinte e quatro mil.

But twenty-four thousand of them had come to their death by the disease.

10 Então o Senhor fallou a Moysés, dizendo:

And the Lord said to Moses,

11 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.

Through Phinehas, and because of his passion for my honour, my wrath has been turned away from the children of Israel, so that I have not sent destruction on them all in my wrath.

12 Portanto dize: Eis que lhe dou o meu concerto de paz,

So say to them that I will make with him an agreement of peace:

13 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.

And by this agreement, he and his sons after him have the right to be priests for ever; because, by his care for the honour of his God, he took away the sin of the children of Israel.

14 E o nome do israelita morto, que foi morto com a midianita, era Zimri, filho de Salu, maioral da casa paterna dos simeonitas.

Now the man of Israel who was put to death with the woman of Midian was Zimri, the son of Salu, a chief of one of the families of the Simeonites.

15 E o nome da mulher midianita, morta, era Cosbi, filha de Zur, cabeça do povo da casa paterna entre os midianitas.

And the woman of Midian who was put to death was Cozbi, the daughter of Zur; he was the head of a family in Midian.

16 Fallou mais o Senhor a Moysés, dizendo:

Then the Lord said to Moses,

17 Affligireis os midianitas e os ferireis,

Take up arms against the Midianites and overcome them;

18 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.

For they are a danger to you with their false ways, causing sin to come on you in the question of Peor, and because of Cozbi, their sister, the daughter of the chief of Midian, who was put to death at the time of the disease which came on you because of Peor.
