Números 25
1 E repousou Israel em Sitim, e o povo começou a se prostituir com as filhas de Moabe:
Israel stayed in Shittim; and the people began to play the prostitute with the daughters of Moab;
2 As quais chamaram ao povo aos sacrifícios de seus deuses: e o povo comeu, e inclinou-se a seus deuses.
for they called the people to the sacrifices of their gods. The people ate and bowed down to their gods.
3 E achegou-se o povo a Baal-Peor; e o furor do SENHOR se acendeu contra Israel.
Israel joined himself to Baal Peor, and Yahweh’s anger burned against Israel.
4 E o SENHOR disse a Moisés: Toma todos os príncipes do povo, e enforca-os ao SENHOR diante do sol; e a ira do furor do SENHOR se apartará de Israel.
Yahweh said to Moses, “Take all the chiefs of the people, and hang them up to Yahweh before the sun, that the fierce anger of Yahweh may turn away from Israel.”
5 Então Moisés disse aos juízes de Israel: Matai cada um àqueles dos seus que se recolheram a Baal-Peor.
Moses said to the judges of Israel, “Everyone kill his men who have joined themselves to Baal Peor.”
6 E eis que um homem dos filhos de Israel veio e trouxe uma midianita a seus irmãos, à vista de Moisés e de toda a congregação dos filhos de Israel, chorando eles à porta do tabernáculo do testemunho.
Behold, one of the children of Israel came and brought to his brothers a Midianite woman in the sight of Moses, and in the sight of all the congregation of the children of Israel, while they were weeping at the door of the Tent of Meeting.
7 E viu-o Fineias, filho de Eleazar, filho de Arão o sacerdote, e levantou-se do meio da congregação, e tomou uma lança em sua mão:
When Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw it, he rose up from the middle of the congregation, and took a spear in his hand.
8 E foi atrás do homem de Israel à tenda, e perfurou com a lança a ambos, ao homem de Israel, e à mulher por seu ventre. E cessou a mortandade dos filhos de Israel.
He went after the man of Israel into the pavilion, and thrust both of them through, the man of Israel, and the woman through her body. So the plague was stopped among the children of Israel.
9 E morreram daquela mortandade vinte e quatro mil.
Those who died by the plague were twenty-four thousand.
10 Então o SENHOR falou a Moisés, dizendo:
Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
11 Fineias, filho de Eleazar, filho de Arão o sacerdote, fez afastar meu furor dos filhos de Israel, levado de zelo entre eles: pelo qual eu não consumi em meu zelo aos filhos de Israel.
“Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, has turned my wrath away from the children of Israel, in that he was jealous with my jealousy among them, so that I didn’t consume the children of Israel in my jealousy.
12 Portanto dize lhes: Eis que eu estabeleço meu pacto de paz com ele;
Therefore say, ‘Behold, I give to him my covenant of peace.
13 E terá ele, e sua descendência depois dele, o pacto do sacerdócio perpétuo; porquanto teve zelo por seu Deus, e fez expiação pelos filhos de Israel.
It shall be to him, and to his offspring after him, the covenant of an everlasting priesthood, because he was jealous for his God, and made atonement for the children of Israel.’”
14 E o nome do homem morto, que foi morto com a midianita, era Zinri filho de Salu, chefe de uma família da tribo de Simeão.
Now the name of the man of Israel that was slain, who was slain with the Midianite woman, was Zimri, the son of Salu, a prince of a fathers’ house among the Simeonites.
15 E o nome da mulher midianita morta, era Cosbi, filha de Zur, príncipe de povos, pai de família em Midiã.
The name of the Midianite woman who was slain was Cozbi, the daughter of Zur. He was head of the people of a fathers’ house in Midian.
16 E o SENHOR falou a Moisés, dizendo:
Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
17 Sereis hostis aos midianitas, e os ferireis:
“Harass the Midianites, and strike them;
18 Porquanto eles vos afligiram com suas astúcias, com que vos enganaram no negócio de Peor, e no negócio de Cosbi, filha do príncipe de Midiã, sua irmã, a qual foi morta no dia da mortandade por causa de Peor.
for they harassed you with their wiles, wherein they have deceived you in the matter of Peor, and in the incident regarding Cozbi, the daughter of the prince of Midian, their sister, who was slain on the day of the plague in the matter of Peor.”
