Números 25
1 E Israel deteve-se em Sittim, e o povo começou a fornicar com as filhas dos moabitas.
Israel stayed in Shittim, and the men began to prostitute themselves with women of Moab,
2 E convidaram o povo aos sacrifícios dos seus deuses; e o povo comeu, e inclinou-se aos seus deuses.
for the Moabites had invited the people to the sacrifices to their gods. So the people ate and bowed down to Moabite gods.
3 Juntando-se pois Israel a Baalpeor, a ira do Senhor se acendeu contra Israel.
The men of Israel joined in worshiping Baal of Peor, and Yahweh's anger was kindled 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.
Yahweh said to Moses, “Kill all the leaders of the people and hang them up before me to expose them in the daylight, so that my fierce anger may turn away from Israel.”
5 Então Moisés disse aos juízes de Israel: Cada um mate os seus homens que se conjuntaram a Baalpeor.
So Moses said to Israel's leaders, “Each of you must execute his people who have joined in worshiping Baal of 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.
Then one of the men of Israel came and brought among his family members a Midianite woman. This happened in the sight of Moses and all the community of the people of Israel, while they were weeping at the entrance to 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
When Phinehas son of Eleazar son of Aaron the priest, saw that, he rose up from among the community and took a spear 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
He followed the Israelite man into the tent and thrust the spear through both of their bodies, both the Israelite man and the woman. So a plague that God had sent on the people of Israel stopped.
9 E os que morreram daquela praga foram vinte e quatro mil.
Those who died by the plague were twenty-four thousand in number.
10 Então o Senhor falou a Moisés, dizendo:
Yahweh spoke to Moses and said,
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 my rage away from the people of Israel because he was passionate with my zeal among them. So I have not consumed the people of Israel in my fierceness.
12 Portanto dize: Eis que lhe dou o meu concerto de paz,
Therefore say, 'Yahweh says, “Look, I am giving to Phinehas my covenant of peace.
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.
For him and his descendants after him, it will be a covenant of an everlasting priesthood because he was zealous for me, his God. He has atoned for the people 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 name of the Israelite man who was killed with the Midianite woman was Zimri son of Salu, a leader of an ancestor's family among the Simeonites.
15 E o nome da mulher midianita, morta, era Cosbi, filha de Zur, cabeça do povo da casa paterna entre os midianitas.
The name of the Midianite woman who was killed was Kozbi daughter of Zur, who was head of a tribe and family in Midian.
16 Falou mais o Senhor a Moisés, dizendo:
So Yahweh spoke to Moses and said,
17 Afligireis os midianitas e os ferireis,
“Treat the Midianites as enemies and attack 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 treated you like enemies with their deceitfulness. They led you into evil in the case of Peor and in the case of their sister Kozbi, the daughter of a leader in Midian, who was killed on the day of the plague in the matter of Peor.”
