Números 31
1 E falou o Senhor a Moisés, dizendo:
Yahweh spoke to Moses and said,
2 Vinga os filhos de Israel dos midianitas: depois recolhido serás aos teus povos.
“Take vengeance on the Midianites for what they did to the Israelites. After doing that, you will die and 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.
So Moses spoke to the people. He said, “Arm some of your men for war so they may go against Midian and carry out Yahweh's vengeance on it.
4 Mil de cada tribo entre todas as tribos de Israel enviareis à guerra.
Every tribe throughout Israel must send a thousand soldiers to war.”
5 Assim foram dados dos milhares de Israel mil de cada tribo: doze mil armados para a peleja.
So out of Israel's thousands of men, one thousand was provided from each tribe, twelve thousand men armed for war.
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.
Then Moses sent them to battle, a thousand from every tribe, along with Phinehas son of Eleazar the priest, and with some articles from the holy place and the trumpets in his possession for sounding signals.
7 E pelejaram contra os midianitas, como o Senhor ordenara a Moisés: e mataram a todo o macho.
They fought against Midian, as Yahweh had commanded Moses. They killed every man.
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.
They killed the kings of Midian with the rest of their dead: Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur, and Reba, the five kings of Midian. They also killed Balaam son of Beor, with the sword.
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.
The army of Israel took captive the women of Midian, their children, all their cattle, all their flocks, and all their goods. They took these as plunder.
10 E queimaram a fogo todas as suas cidades com todas as suas habitações, e todos os seus acampamentos.
They burned all their cities where they lived and all their camps.
11 E tomaram todo o despojo e toda a presa de homens e de animais.
They took all the plunder and prisoners, both people and animals.
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 the prisoners, the plunder, and the captured things to Moses, to Eleazar the priest, and to the community of the people of Israel. They brought these to the camp in the plains of Moab, by the Jordan near Jericho.
13 Porém Moisés e Eleazar, o sacerdote, e todos os maiorais da congregação sairam a recebe-los até fora do arraial.
Moses, Eleazar the priest, and all the leaders of the community went to meet them outside 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.
But Moses was angry with the officers of the army, the commanders of thousands and the captains of hundreds, who came from battle.
15 E Moisés disse-lhes: Deixastes viver todas as mulheres?
Moses said to them, “Have you let all the women live?
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.
Look, these women caused the people of Israel, through Balaam's advice, to commit sin against Yahweh in the matter of Peor, when the plague spread among Yahweh's community.
17 Agora pois matai todo o macho entre as crianças; e matai toda a mulher, que conheceu algum homem, deitando-se com ele.
Now then, kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman who has ever slept with a man.
18 Porém todas as crianças fêmeas, que não conheceram algum homem deitando-se com ele, para vós deixai viver.
But take for yourselves all the young girls who have never slept with a man.
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.
You must camp outside the camp of Israel for seven days. All of you who have killed anyone and or have touched any dead person—you must purify yourselves on the third day and on the seventh day—you and your prisoners.
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 purify every garment and everything made of animal hide and goats' hair, and everything made of 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.
Eleazar the priest said to the soldiers who had gone to war, “This is a decreed law that Yahweh has given to Moses:
22 Contudo o ouro, e a prata, o cobre, o ferro, o estanho, e o chumbo;
The gold, silver, bronze, iron, tin, and lead,
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 everything that resists fire, you must put it through the fire, and it will become clean. You must then purify those things with the water of cleansing. Whatever cannot go through the fire you must cleanse with that water.
24 Também lavareis os vossos vestidos ao sétimo dia, para que fiqueis limpos: e depois entrareis no arraial.
You must wash your clothes on the seventh day, and then you will become clean. Afterward you may come into Israel's camp.”
25 Falou mais o Senhor a Moisés dizendo:
Then Yahweh spoke to Moses and said,
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;
“Count all the plundered things that were taken, both people and animals. You, Eleazar the priest, and the leaders of the community's ancestor's clans
27 E divide a presa em duas metades, entre os que acometeram a peleja, e sairam à guerra, e toda a congregação.
must divide the plunder into two parts. Divide it between the soldiers who went out to battle and all the rest of the community.
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.
Then levy a tax to be given to me from the soldiers who went out to battle. This tax must be one out of every five hundred, whether persons, cattle, donkeys, sheep, or goats.
29 Da sua a metade o tomareis, e o dareis ao sacerdote, Eleazar, para a oferta alçada do Senhor.
Take this tax from their half and give it to Eleazar the priest for an offering to be presented 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.
Also from the people of Israel's half, you must take one out of every fifty—from the persons, cattle, donkeys, sheep, and goats. Give these to the Levites who take care of my tabernacle.”
31 E fizeram Moisés e Eleazar, o sacerdote, como o Senhor ordenara a Moisés.
So Moses and Eleazar the priest did as Yahweh had commanded Moses.
32 Foi pois a presa, o restante do despojo, que tomaram os homens de guerra, seiscentas e setenta e cinco mil ovelhas;
Now the plunder that remained of what the soldiers had taken was 675,000 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 women who had never slept with any man.
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 half that was kept for the soldiers numbered 337,000 sheep.
37 E das ovelhas foi o tributo para o Senhor seiscentas e setenta e cinco.
Yahweh's part of the sheep was 675.
38 E foram os bois trinta e seis mil: e o seu tributo para o Senhor setenta e dois.
The oxen were thirty-six thousand which Yahweh's tax was seventy-two.
39 E foram os jumentos trinta mil e quinhentos: e o seu tributo para o Senhor sessenta e um.
The donkeys were 30,500 from which Yahweh's part was sixty-one.
40 E houve das almas humanas dezeseis mil: e o seu tributo para o Senhor trinta e duas almas.
The persons were sixteen thousand women of whom Yahweh's tax was thirty-two.
41 E deu Moisés a Eleazar, o sacerdote, o tributo da oferta alçada do Senhor, como o Senhor ordenara a Moisés.
Moses took the tax that was to be an offering presented to Yahweh. He gave it to Eleazar the priest, as Yahweh commanded Moses.
42 E da metade dos filhos de Israel que Moisés partira da dos homens que pelejaram.
As for the people of Israel's half that Moses had taken from the soldiers who had gone to war—
43 (A metade para a congregação foi, das ovelhas, trezentas e trinta e sete mil e quinhentas;
the community's half was 337,500 sheep,
44 E dos bois trinta e seis mil;
thirty-six thousand oxen,
45 E dos jumentos trinta mil e quinhentos;
30,500 donkeys,
46 E das almas humanas dezeseis mil),
and sixteen thousand women.
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 the people of Israel's half, Moses took one out of every fifty, both of people and animals. He gave them to the Levites who kept care of Yahweh's tabernacle, as Yahweh had commanded him to do.
48 Então chegaram-se a Moisés os capitães que estavam sobre os milhares do exército, os tribunos e os centuriões;
Then the officers of the army, the commanders over thousands and the captains over hundreds, came to Moses.
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 to him, “Your servants have counted the soldiers who are under our command, and not one man is missing.
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.
We have brought Yahweh's offering, what each man found, articles of gold, armlets and bracelets, signet rings, earrings, and necklaces, to make atonement for ourselves before Yahweh.”
51 Assim Moisés e Eleazar o sacerdote tomaram deles o ouro; sendo todos os vasos bem obrados.
Moses and Eleazar the priest received from them the gold and all the articles of craftsmanship.
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.
All the gold of the offering that they gave to Yahweh—the offerings from the commanders of thousands and from the captains of hundreds—weighed 16,750 shekels.
53 (Pois os homens de guerra, cada um tinha tomado presa para si).
Each soldier had taken plunder, each man 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.
Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold from the commanders of thousands and captains of hundreds. They took it into the tent of meeting as a reminder of the people of Israel for Yahweh.
