Números 25
1 E Israel deteve-se em Sittim, e o povo começou a fornicar com as filhas dos moabitas.
And Israel dwells in Shittim, and the people begin to go whoring to daughters of Moab,
2 E convidaram o povo aos sacrifícios dos seus deuses; e o povo comeu, e inclinou-se aos seus deuses.
and they call for the people to the sacrifices of their gods, and the people eat and bow themselves to their gods,
3 Juntando-se pois Israel a Baalpeor, a ira do Senhor se acendeu contra Israel.
and Israel is joined to Ba‘al-Peor, and the anger of YHWH burns against Israel.
4 Disse o Senhor a Moisés: Toma todos os Cabeças do povo, e enforca-os ao Senhor diante do sol, e o ardor da ira do Senhor se retirará de Israel.
And YHWH says to Moses, “Take all the chiefs of the people and hang them before YHWH in sight of the sun; and the fierceness of the anger of YHWH turns back from Israel.”
5 Então Moisés disse aos juízes de Israel: Cada um mate os seus homens que se conjuntaram a Baalpeor.
And Moses says to [the] judges of Israel, “Each slays his men who are joined to Ba‘al-Peor.”
6 E eis que veio um homem dos filhos de Israel, e trouxe a seus irmãos uma midianita aos olhos de Moisés, e aos olhos de toda a congregação dos filhos de Israel, chorando eles diante da tenda da congregação.
And behold, a man of the sons of Israel has come, and brings a Midianitess to his brothers before the eyes of Moses and before the eyes of all the congregation of the sons of Israel, who are weeping at the opening of the Tent of Meeting;
7 Vendo isso Phineas, filho de Eleazar, o filho de Aarão, sacerdote, se levantou do meio da congregação, e tomou uma lança na sua mão
and Phinehas, son of Eleazar, son of Aaron the priest, sees, and rises from the midst of the congregation, and takes a javelin in his hand,
8 E foi após do varão israelita até à tenda, e os atravessou a ambos, ao varão israelita e à mulher, pela sua barriga: então a praga cessou de sobre os filhos de Israel
and goes in after the man of Israel to the hollow place, and pierces them both, the man of Israel and the woman—to her belly, and the plague is restrained from the sons of Israel;
9 E os que morreram daquela praga foram vinte e quatro mil.
and the dead by the plague are twenty-four thousand.
10 Então o Senhor falou a Moisés, dizendo:
And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
11 Phineas, filho de Eleazar, o filho de Aarão sacerdote, desviou a minha ira de sobre os filhos de Israel, pois zelou o meu zelo no meio deles; que no meu zelo não consumi os filhos de Israel.
“Phinehas, son of Eleazar, son of Aaron the priest, has turned back My fury from the sons of Israel by his being zealous with My zeal in their midst, and I have not consumed the sons of Israel in My zeal.
12 Portanto dize: Eis que lhe dou o meu concerto de paz,
Therefore say, Behold, I am giving My covenant of peace to him,
13 E ele, e a sua semente depois dele, terá o concerto do sacerdócio perpétuo; porquanto teve zelo pelo seu Deus, e fez propiciação pelos filhos de Israel.
and it has been to him and to his seed after him [for] a covenant of a continuous priesthood, because that he has been zealous for his God, and makes atonement for the sons 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.
And the name of the man of Israel who is struck, who has been struck with the Midianitess, [is] Zimri son of Salu, prince of the house of a father of the Simeonite;
15 E o nome da mulher midianita, morta, era Cosbi, filha de Zur, cabeça do povo da casa paterna entre os midianitas.
and the name of the woman who is struck, the Midianitess, [is] Cozbi daughter of Zur; he [is] head of peoples of a father’s house in Midian.
16 Falou mais o Senhor a Moisés, dizendo:
And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
17 Afligireis os midianitas e os ferireis,
“Distress the Midianites, and you have struck them,
18 Porque eles vos afligiram a vós outros com os seus enganos com que vos enganaram no negócio de Peor, e no negócio de Cosbi, filha do maioral dos midianitas, a irmã deles, que foi morta no dia da praga no negócio de Peor.
for they are adversaries to you with their frauds, [with] which they have acted fraudulently to you, concerning the matter of Peor and concerning the matter of Cozbi, daughter of a prince of Midian, their sister, who is struck in the day of the plague for the matter of Peor.”
