Números 31
1 E falou o Senhor a Moisés, dizendo:
Yahweh spoke to Moses/me and said,
2 Vinga os filhos de Israel dos midianitas: depois recolhido serás aos teus povos.
“Before you die, [tell the] Israeli people that they should (pay back/get revenge on) the Midian people-group for what they did to you.”
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.
So Moses/I said to the people, “Get some men prepared for battle. Yahweh will enable them to (pay back/get revenge on) the Midian people-group [for what they did to us].
4 Mil de cada tribo entre todas as tribos de Israel enviareis à guerra.
Select 1,000 men from each tribe to fight.”
5 Assim foram dados dos milhares de Israel mil de cada tribo: doze mil armados para a peleja.
So 12,000 men prepared for fighting in the battle, 1,000 from each tribe.
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.
When Moses/I sent them to the battle, Phinehas, the son of Eleazar the priest, went with them. He took with him some of the things from the Sacred Tent and the trumpets that would be blown to give the signal [to start the battle].
7 E pelejaram contra os midianitas, como o Senhor ordenara a Moisés: e mataram a todo o macho.
The Israeli men fought the soldiers from the Midian people-group, as Yahweh had told Moses/me to tell them to do, and they killed every man from the Midian people-group.
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.
Among those whom they killed were the five kings of the Midian people-group—Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur, and Reba. They also killed with a sword 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.
They captured all the women and children of the Midian people-group and took away their cattle, their flocks of sheep, and herds of goats, and all their other possessions.
10 E queimaram a fogo todas as suas cidades com todas as suas habitações, e todos os seus acampamentos.
Then they burned down all the houses in the towns and villages where the people of the Midian people-group lived,
11 E tomaram todo o despojo e toda a presa de homens e de animais.
but they took home with them all the women and children and animals and possessions.
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.
They brought all these to Eliezer and Moses/me, and to the rest of the Israeli people who were at their/our camp on the plains where the Moab people-group lived, near the Jordan River, across from Jericho.
13 Porém Moisés e Eleazar, o sacerdote, e todos os maiorais da congregação sairam a recebe-los até fora do arraial.
Eleazar and all the leaders of the people and Moses/I went outside the camp to greet/meet with them.
14 E indignou-se Moisés grandemente contra os oficiais do exército, capitães dos milhares e capitães das centenas, que vinham do serviço daquela guerra.
But Moses/I was angry with some of the men who had returned from the battle. He/I was angry with the army officers and the men who were commanders of 1,000 men and those who were commanders of 100 men.
15 E Moisés disse-lhes: Deixastes viver todas as mulheres?
He/I asked them, “Why did you allow the women to live [RHQ]?
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.
They are the ones who did what Balaam suggested and urged/persuaded our people to worship Baal [instead of Yahweh]. As a result, Yahweh caused a plague to strike his people while they were at Peor.
17 Agora pois matai todo o macho entre as crianças; e matai toda a mulher, que conheceu algum homem, deitando-se com ele.
So, now you must kill all the boys of the Midian people-group, and also kill all the women who have had sex [EUP] with any man.
18 Porém todas as crianças fêmeas, que não conheceram algum homem deitando-se com ele, para vós deixai viver.
Spare only the girls who are virgins [EUP]. You can keep them to be your [wives or your slaves].
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.
All of you who have killed someone or touched the corpse of someone who was killed [in the battle] must stay outside the camp for seven days. On the third day and on the seventh day, you must [perform the ritual to] cause you and those whom you have captured to become acceptable to God again.
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.
You must also wash your clothes and anything [that you took to the battle] that is made of leather or goat’s hair or wood.”
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.
Then Eleazar said to the soldiers who had returned from the battle, “This is what Yahweh has instructed Moses:
22 Contudo o ouro, e a prata, o cobre, o ferro, o estanho, e o chumbo;
You must put into a fire any gold or silver or bronze or iron or tin or lead things [that you brought back from the battle].
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.
Put everything that will not burn into the fire, and then they will be acceptable for you to use. But also sprinkle those things with the water that causes things and people to become acceptable to God. The things that would burn [if you put them] in a fire, sprinkle them with that water.
24 Também lavareis os vossos vestidos ao sétimo dia, para que fiqueis limpos: e depois entrareis no arraial.
On the seventh day, wash your clothes, and then you will become acceptable to God again. After you do that, you may return to the camp.”
25 Falou mais o Senhor a Moisés dizendo:
Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
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;
“Tell Eleazar and the leaders of the family groups that they must write down a list of all the goods, the women, and the animals that were captured [in the battle].
27 E divide a presa em duas metades, entre os que acometeram a peleja, e sairam à guerra, e toda a congregação.
Then they must divide all those things, half given to the men who fought in the battle and the other half given to the rest of the people.
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.
From the men who fought in the battle, take one from every 500 people and from every 500 cattle and donkeys and sheep, to be a tax for me.
29 Da sua a metade o tomareis, e o dareis ao sacerdote, Eleazar, para a oferta alçada do Senhor.
Take these things to Eleazar to (be my share/belong to me).
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.
And from the half that belongs to the ordinary people, take one item from every 50. That includes people, cattle, donkeys, sheep, goats, and other animals. Give those things to the descendants of Levi who take care of my Sacred Tent.”
31 E fizeram Moisés e Eleazar, o sacerdote, como o Senhor ordenara a Moisés.
So Eleazar and Moses/I did what Yahweh commanded.
32 Foi pois a presa, o restante do despojo, que tomaram os homens de guerra, seiscentas e setenta e cinco mil ovelhas;
There were 675,000 sheep, 72,000 cattle, 61,000 donkeys, and 32,000 virgins that they had captured from the Midian people-group.
33 E setenta e dois mil bois;
34 E sessenta e um mil jumentos;
35 E, das mulheres que não conheceram homem algum deitando-se com ele, todas as almas foram trinta e duas mil.
36 E a metade, a parte dos que sairam à guerra, foi em número de trezentas e trinta e sete mil e quinhentas ovelhas.
The men who fought in the battle took 337,000 sheep [from the battle],
37 E das ovelhas foi o tributo para o Senhor seiscentas e setenta e cinco.
and they gave 675 of them to Yahweh.
38 E foram os bois trinta e seis mil: e o seu tributo para o Senhor setenta e dois.
They took 36,000 cattle and gave 72 of them to Yahweh.
39 E foram os jumentos trinta mil e quinhentos: e o seu tributo para o Senhor sessenta e um.
They took 30,500 donkeys, and they gave 61 of them to Yahweh.
40 E houve das almas humanas dezeseis mil: e o seu tributo para o Senhor trinta e duas almas.
They took 16,000 virgins, and they dedicated 32 of them to Yahweh.
41 E deu Moisés a Eleazar, o sacerdote, o tributo da oferta alçada do Senhor, como o Senhor ordenara a Moisés.
Moses/I gave to Eleazar all [the animals] that had been given to Yahweh, as Yahweh had commanded.
42 E da metade dos filhos de Israel que Moisés partira da dos homens que pelejaram.
Moses/I separated what those who had fought in the battle received from what the other people received. The people had taken 337,500 sheep, 36,000 cattle, 30,500 donkeys, and 16,000 virgins,
43 (A metade para a congregação foi, das ovelhas, trezentas e trinta e sete mil e quinhentas;
44 E dos bois trinta e seis mil;
45 E dos jumentos trinta mil e quinhentos;
46 E das almas humanas dezeseis mil),
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.
From what the people received, Moses/I took one from every 50 items and dedicated them to Yahweh. That included animals and people. As Yahweh commanded, he/I gave them all to the descendants of Levi who took care of the Sacred Tent.
48 Então chegaram-se a Moisés os capitães que estavam sobre os milhares do exército, os tribunos e os centuriões;
Then the army officers and those who commanded 1,000 men and those who commanded 100 men came to Moses/me.
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.
They said, “We, who are your servants, have counted the soldiers whom we command, and [we found that] none of them (is missing/has been killed).
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.
So [to thank Yahweh for that], we have brought to him a gift of the gold items that we found [after the battle]: Gold arm bands and bracelets and rings and earrings and necklaces. This will enable us to be forgiven for our sins.”
51 Assim Moisés e Eleazar o sacerdote tomaram deles o ouro; sendo todos os vasos bem obrados.
So Eleazar and Moses/I accepted the gold items that they brought.
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.
The total of it weighed about (420 pounds/190 kg.).
53 (Pois os homens de guerra, cada um tinha tomado presa para si).
Each soldier had taken these things for himself.
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.
Eleazar and Moses/I accepted these gold items from these commanders and put them in the Sacred Tent to remind the Israeli people about how Yahweh [had helped them defeat the Midian people-group].
