Números 31
1 E o SENHOR falou a Moisés, dizendo:
Yahweh spoke to Moses/me and said,
2 Faze a vingança dos filhos de Israel sobre os midianitas; depois serás recolhido a 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 Então Moisés falou ao povo, dizendo: Armai-vos alguns de vós para a guerra, e irão contra Midiã, e farão a vingança do SENHOR em Midiã.
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 de todas as tribos dos filhos de Israel, enviareis à guerra.
Select 1,000 men from each tribe to fight.”
5 Assim foram dados dos milhares de Israel, mil cada tribo, doze mil a ponto de guerra.
So 12,000 men prepared for fighting in the battle, 1,000 from each tribe.
6 E Moisés os enviou à guerra: mil cada tribo enviou: e Fineias, filho de Eleazar sacerdote, foi à guerra com os santos instrumentos, com as trombetas em sua mão para tocar.
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 lutaram contra Midiã, como o SENHOR o mandou a Moisés, e mataram a todo homem.
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 também, entre os mortos deles, aos reis de Midiã: Evi, e Requém, e Zur, e Hur, e Reba, cinco reis de Midiã; a Balaão também, 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 E levaram cativas os filhos de Israel as mulheres dos midianitas, e suas crianças e todos suas animais, e todos os seus gados; e arrebataram todos os seus pertences.
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 abrasaram com fogo todas suas cidades, aldeias e castelos.
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, tanto de homens como 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 cativos e a presa e os despojos, ao acampamento nas planícies de Moabe, que estão junto ao 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 E saíram Moisés e Eleazar o sacerdote, e todos os príncipes da congregação, a recebê-los fora do acampamento.
Eleazar and all the leaders of the people and Moses/I went outside the camp to greet/meet with them.
14 E irou-se Moisés contra os capitães do exército, contra os comandantes de mil e comandantes de cem que voltavam da 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 disse-lhes Moisés: Todas as mulheres preservastes?
He/I asked them, “Why did you allow the women to live [RHQ]?
16 Eis que elas foram aos filhos de Israel, por conselho de Balaão, para causar transgressão contra o SENHOR no negócio de Peor; pelo que houve mortandade na 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 Matai, pois, agora todos os machos entre as crianças: matai também toda mulher que tenha conhecido homem carnalmente.
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 E todas as meninas entre as mulheres, que não tenham conhecido ajuntamento de homem, vos preservareis vivas.
Spare only the girls who are virgins [EUP]. You can keep them to be your [wives or your slaves].
19 E vós ficai fora do acampamento sete dias: e todos os que houverem matado pessoa, e qualquer um que houver tocado morto, vos purificareis ao terceiro e ao sétimo dia, vós e 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 toda roupa, e todo artigo de peles, e toda obra de pelos de cabra, e todo 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 Eleazar o sacerdote disse aos homens de guerra que vinham da guerra: Esta é a ordenança da lei que o SENHOR mandou a Moisés:
Then Eleazar said to the soldiers who had returned from the battle, “This is what Yahweh has instructed Moses:
22 Certamente o ouro, e a prata, bronze, ferro, estanho, e 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 Tudo o que resiste ao fogo, por fogo o fareis passar, e será limpo, ainda que nas águas de purificação haverá de purificar-se: mas fareis passar por água tudo o que não aguenta o fogo.
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 Além disso lavareis vossas roupas no sétimo dia, e assim sereis limpos; e depois entrareis no acampamento.
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 E o SENHOR falou a Moisés, dizendo:
Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
26 Toma a contagem da presa que se fez, tanto das pessoas como dos animais, tu e o sacerdote Eleazar, e os chefes 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 partirás pela metade a presa entre os que lutaram, os que saíram 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 E separarás para o SENHOR o tributo dos homens de guerra, que saíram à guerra: de quinhentos um, tanto das pessoas como dos bois, dos asnos, 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 metade deles o tomarás; e darás a Eleazar o sacerdote a oferta do SENHOR.
Take these things to Eleazar to (be my share/belong to me).
30 E da metade pertencente aos filhos de Israel tomarás um de cinquenta, das pessoas, dos bois, dos asnos, e das ovelhas, de todo animal; e os darás aos levitas, que têm a 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 mandou a Moisés.
So Eleazar and Moses/I did what Yahweh commanded.
32 E foi a presa, o resto da presa 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 setenta e um mil asnos;
35 E quanto às pessoas, de mulheres que não conheciam ajuntamento de homem, ao todo trinta e duas mil.
36 E a metade, a parte dos que haviam saído à guerra, foi o número de trezentas trinta e sete mil e quinhentas ovelhas.
The men who fought in the battle took 337,000 sheep [from the battle],
37 E o tributo para o SENHOR das ovelhas foi seiscentas e setenta e cinco.
and they gave 675 of them to Yahweh.
38 E dos bois, trinta e seis mil: e deles o tributo para o SENHOR, setenta e dois.
They took 36,000 cattle and gave 72 of them to Yahweh.
39 E dos asnos, trinta mil e quinhentos: e deles o tributo para o SENHOR, setenta e um.
They took 30,500 donkeys, and they gave 61 of them to Yahweh.
40 E das pessoas, dezesseis mil: e delas o tributo para o SENHOR, trinta e duas pessoas.
They took 16,000 virgins, and they dedicated 32 of them to Yahweh.
41 E deu Moisés o tributo, por elevada oferta ao SENHOR, a Eleazar o sacerdote, como o SENHOR o mandou a Moisés.
Moses/I gave to Eleazar all [the animals] that had been given to Yahweh, as Yahweh had commanded.
42 E da metade para os filhos de Israel, que separou Moisés dos homens que haviam ido à guerra;
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 asnos, trinta mil e quinhentos;
46 E das pessoas, dezesseis mil: )
47 Da metade, pois, para os filhos de Israel tomou Moisés um de cada cinquenta, tanto das pessoas como dos animais, e deu-os aos levitas, que tinham a guarda do tabernáculo do SENHOR; como o SENHOR o havia mandado 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 E chegaram a Moisés os chefes dos milhares daquele exército, os comandantes de mil e comandantes de cem;
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 estão em nosso poder, e nenhum faltou 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 qual temos oferecido ao SENHOR oferta, cada um do que achou, objetos de ouro, braceletes, pulseiras, anéis, pendentes, e correntes, para fazer expiação por nossas almas diante do 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 E Moisés e o sacerdote Eleazar receberam o ouro deles, joias, todas elaboradas.
So Eleazar and Moses/I accepted the gold items that they brought.
52 E todo o ouro da oferta que ofereceram ao SENHOR dos comandantes de mil e comandantes de cem, foi dezesseis mil setecentos e cinquenta siclos.
The total of it weighed about (420 pounds/190 kg.).
53 Os homens do exército haviam despojado cada um para si.
Each soldier had taken these things for himself.
54 Receberam, pois, Moisés e o sacerdote Eleazar, o ouro dos comandantes de mil e comandantes de cem, e trouxeram-no ao tabernáculo do testemunho, por memória dos filhos de Israel diante do 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].
