Números 31

1 E falou o Senhor a Moisés, dizendo:

And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

2 Vinga os filhos de Israel dos midianitas: depois recolhido serás aos teus povos.

“First, avenge the sons of Israel from the Midianites, and then you shall be gathered to your people.”

3 Falou pois Moisés ao povo, dizendo: Armem-se alguns de vós para a guerra, e saiam contra os midianitas, para fazerem a vingança do Senhor nos midianitas.

And immediately Moses said: “Arm the men among you for a battle, so that they may be able to fulfill the retribution of the Lord on the Midianites.

4 Mil de cada tribo entre todas as tribos de Israel enviareis à guerra.

Let one thousand men be chosen from each tribe of Israel, who shall be sent to war.”

5 Assim foram dados dos milhares de Israel mil de cada tribo: doze mil armados para a peleja.

And they gave one thousand from each tribe, that is, twelve thousand foot soldiers for battle.

6 E Moisés os mandou à guerra de cada tribo mil, a eles e a Phineas, filho de Eleazar sacerdote, à guerra com os vasos santos, e com as trombetas do alarido na sua mão.

And Moses sent them with Phinehas, the son of Eleazar the priest; also, he delivered to him the holy vessels, and the trumpets to sound.

7 E pelejaram contra os midianitas, como o Senhor ordenara a Moisés: e mataram a todo o macho.

And when they had fought against the Midianites and had prevailed, they killed all the men.

8 Mataram mais, além dos que já foram mortos, os reis dos midianitas, Evi, e a requém, e a Zur, e a Hur, e a Reba, cinco reis dos midianitas: também a Balaão filho de Beor mataram à espada.

And they put to death by the sword their kings: Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, the five leaders of the nation, and also Balaam the son of Beor.

9 Porém os filhos de Israel levaram presas as mulheres dos midianitas, e as suas crianças: também roubaram todos os seus animais, e todo o seu gado, e toda a sua fazenda.

And they seized their women and little ones, and all their cattle, and all their goods; whatever they were able to have, they despoiled.

10 E queimaram a fogo todas as suas cidades com todas as suas habitações, e todos os seus acampamentos.

Both their cities and their villages, as well as their fortresses, they burned.

11 E tomaram todo o despojo e toda a presa de homens e de animais.

And they carried away prey from everything that they had seized, both of men and of beasts.

12 E trouxeram a Moisés e a Eleazar o sacerdote e à congregação dos filhos de Israel os cativeiros, e a presa, e o despojo para o arraial, nas campinas de Moab, que estão junto do Jordão de Jericó.

And they led these to Moses and Eleazar the priest, and to all the multitude of the sons of Israel. But the remainder of the articles they carried to the camp on the plains of Moab, next to the Jordan, opposite Jericho.

13 Porém Moisés e Eleazar, o sacerdote, e todos os maiorais da congregação sairam a recebe-los até fora do arraial.

Then Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and all the leaders of the assembly went out to meet them beyond the camp.

14 E indignou-se Moisés grandemente contra os oficiais do exército, capitães dos milhares e capitães das centenas, que vinham do serviço daquela guerra.

And Moses, being angry with the leaders of the army, and the tribunes, and the centurions, who had arrived from the battle,

15 E Moisés disse-lhes: Deixastes viver todas as mulheres?

said: “Why have you spared the females?

16 Eis que estas foram as que por conselho de Balaão deram ocasião aos filhos de Israel de traspassar contra o Senhor, no negócio de Peor: pelo que aquela praga houve entre a congregação do Senhor.

Are not these the ones who deceived the sons of Israel at the suggestion of Balaam, and who caused you betray the Lord by the sin of Peor, because of which the people also were struck down?

17 Agora pois matai todo o macho entre as crianças; e matai toda a mulher, que conheceu algum homem, deitando-se com ele.

Therefore, put to death all of them: whatever is of the male sex, even among the little ones, and cut the throats of those women who have known men by sexual relations.

18 Porém todas as crianças fêmeas, que não conheceram algum homem deitando-se com ele, para vós deixai viver.

But the young girls, and all female virgins, reserve for yourselves.

19 E vós alojai-vos sete dias fora do arraial: qualquer que tiver matado alguma pessoa, e qualquer que tiver tocado algum morto, ao terceiro dia, e ao sétimo dia vos purificareis, a vós e a vossos cativos.

And remain beyond the camp for seven days. Whoever has killed a man, or who has touched one that was killed, shall be purified on the third day and on the seventh day.

20 Também purificareis todo o vestido, e toda a obra de peles, e toda a obra de pelos de cabras, e todo o vaso de madeira.

And all of the spoils, whether it is a garment, or a vessel, or another useful thing, made from the pelts or hair of goats, or from wood, shall be expiated.”

21 E disse Eleazar, o sacerdote, aos homens da guerra, que partiram à peleja: Este é o estatuto da lei que o Senhor ordenou a Moisés.

Likewise, Eleazar the priest spoke in this manner to the men of the army who had fought: “This is the precept of the law, which the Lord has commanded Moses:

22 Contudo o ouro, e a prata, o cobre, o ferro, o estanho, e o chumbo;

Gold, and silver, and brass, and iron, and lead, and tin,

23 Toda a cousa que pode suportar o fogo, para que fique limpo: todavia se expiará com a água da separação: mas tudo que não pode suportar o fogo, o fareis passar pela água.

and all that may be able to pass through fire, shall be purified by fire. But whatever is not able to sustain fire shall be sanctified with the waters of expiation.

24 Também lavareis os vossos vestidos ao sétimo dia, para que fiqueis limpos: e depois entrareis no arraial.

And you shall wash your garments on the seventh day, and, after having been purified, you shall enter the camp.”

25 Falou mais o Senhor a Moisés dizendo:

And the Lord also said to Moses:

26 Toma a soma da presa dos prisioneiros, de homens, e de animais, tu e Eleazar, o sacerdote, e os Cabeças das casas dos pais da congregação;

“Take the sum of those things which were captured, from man even to beast, you and Eleazar the priest, and the leaders of the common people.

27 E divide a presa em duas metades, entre os que acometeram a peleja, e sairam à guerra, e toda a congregação.

And you shall divide the prey equally, among those who went out to war and fought, and among the remainder of the multitude.

28 Então para o Senhor tomará o tributo dos homens de guerra, que sairam a esta guerra, de cada quinhentos uma alma, dos homens, e dos bois, e dos jumentos e das ovelhas.

And you shall separate a portion for the Lord from the portion of those who fought and were in the battle: one soul out of five hundred, as much from humans, as from oxen and donkeys and sheep.

29 Da sua a metade o tomareis, e o dareis ao sacerdote, Eleazar, para a oferta alçada do Senhor.

And you shall give it to Eleazar the priest, because these are the first-fruits of the Lord.

30 Mas da metade dos filhos de Israel tomarás de cada cincoênta um, dos homens, dos bois, dos jumentos, e das ovelhas, de todos os animais; e os darás aos levitas que tem cuidado da guarda do tabernáculo do Senhor.

Likewise, from the half of the portion belonging to the sons of Israel, you shall receive the fiftieth head of humans, and of oxen, and donkeys, and sheep, and of all living things, and you shall give these to the Levites who stand watch over the care of the tabernacle of the Lord.”

31 E fizeram Moisés e Eleazar, o sacerdote, como o Senhor ordenara a Moisés.

And Moses and Eleazar did just as the Lord had instructed.

32 Foi pois a presa, o restante do despojo, que tomaram os homens de guerra, seiscentas e setenta e cinco mil ovelhas;

Now the prey which the army had seized was six hundred seventy-five thousand sheep,

33 E setenta e dois mil bois;

seventy-two thousand oxen,

34 E sessenta e um mil jumentos;

sixty-one thousand donkeys,

35 E, das mulheres que não conheceram homem algum deitando-se com ele, todas as almas foram trinta e duas mil.

and thirty-two thousand human lives, of the female sex, who had not known men.

36 E a metade, a parte dos que sairam à guerra, foi em número de trezentas e trinta e sete mil e quinhentas ovelhas.

And one half of the portion was given to those who had been in the battle: three hundred thirty-seven thousand five hundred sheep.

37 E das ovelhas foi o tributo para o Senhor seiscentas e setenta e cinco.

From these, for the portion of the Lord, there were accounted: six hundred seventy-five sheep;

38 E foram os bois trinta e seis mil: e o seu tributo para o Senhor setenta e dois.

and from the thirty-six thousand oxen, seventy-two oxen;

39 E foram os jumentos trinta mil e quinhentos: e o seu tributo para o Senhor sessenta e um.

from the thirty thousand five hundred donkeys, sixty-one donkeys.

40 E houve das almas humanas dezeseis mil: e o seu tributo para o Senhor trinta e duas almas.

From the sixteen thousand human souls, there fell to the portion of the Lord thirty-two souls.

41 E deu Moisés a Eleazar, o sacerdote, o tributo da oferta alçada do Senhor, como o Senhor ordenara a Moisés.

And Moses delivered the number of the first-fruits of the Lord to Eleazar the priest, just as had been commanded of him,

42 E da metade dos filhos de Israel que Moisés partira da dos homens que pelejaram.

from the one half portion belonging to the sons of Israel, which he had separated from the portion of those who had been in the battle.

43 (A metade para a congregação foi, das ovelhas, trezentas e trinta e sete mil e quinhentas;

Yet truly, from the one half portion which fell to the remainder of the multitude, that is, from the three hundred thirty-seven thousand five hundred sheep,

44 E dos bois trinta e seis mil;

and from the thirty-six thousand oxen,

45 E dos jumentos trinta mil e quinhentos;

and from the thirty thousand five hundred donkeys,

46 E das almas humanas dezeseis mil),

and from the sixteen thousand persons,

47 Desta metade dos filhos de Israel, Moisés tomou um de cada cincoênta, de homens e de animais, e os deu aos levitas, que tinham cuidado da guarda do tabernáculo do Senhor, como o Senhor ordenara a Moisés.

Moses took the fiftieth head, and gave it to the Levites who stand watch at the tabernacle of the Lord, just as the Lord had instructed.

48 Então chegaram-se a Moisés os capitães que estavam sobre os milhares do exército, os tribunos e os centuriões;

And when the leaders of the army, and the tribunes, and the centurions had approached Moses, they said:

49 E disseram a Moisés: Teus servos tomaram a soma dos homens de guerra que estiveram sob a nossa mão; e nenhum falta de nós.

“We, your servants, have taken a census of the number of the fighting men, whom we had under our hand, and indeed not one was lacking.

50 Pelo que trouxemos uma oferta ao Senhor, cada um o que achou, vasos de ouro, cadeias, ou manilhas, anéis, arrecadas, e colares, para fazer propiciação pelas nossas almas perante o Senhor.

For this reason, we offer as gifts to the Lord whatever gold each one was able to find amid the spoils, in anklets and arm bands, rings and bracelets, and little chains, so that you may intercede for us to the Lord.”

51 Assim Moisés e Eleazar o sacerdote tomaram deles o ouro; sendo todos os vasos bem obrados.

And Moses and Eleazar the priest received all the gold in its various kinds,

52 E foi todo o ouro da oferta alçada, que ofereceram ao Senhor, dezeseis mil e setecentos e cincoênta siclos, dos tribunos e dos centuriões.

weighing sixteen thousand seven hundred fifty shekels, from the tribunes and the centurions.

53 (Pois os homens de guerra, cada um tinha tomado presa para si).

For whatever each one had taken away in the spoils was his own.

54 Tomaram pois Moisés e Eleazar o sacerdote o ouro dos tribunos e dos centuriões, e o trouxeram à tenda da congregação por lembrança para os filhos de Israel perante o Senhor.

And having been accepted, they took it into the tabernacle of the testimony, as a memorial of the sons of Israel before the Lord.
