Números 25
1 Israel ficou em Shittim; e o povo começou a brincar de prostituta com as filhas de Moab;
And Israel abode in Shittim, and the people began to commit harlotry with the daughters of Moab.
2 pois elas chamaram o povo para os sacrifícios de seus deuses. O povo comeu e se curvou diante de seus deuses.
And they called the people unto the sacrifices of their gods; and the people did eat, and bowed down to their gods.
3 Israel se uniu a Baal Peor, e a raiva de Javé ardeu contra Israel.
And Israel joined himself unto the Baal of Peor; and the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel.
4 Javé disse a Moisés: “Pegue todos os chefes do povo e pendure-os diante de Javé diante do sol, para que a raiva feroz de Javé se afaste de Israel”.
And the LORD said unto Moses: 'Take all the chiefs of the people, and hang them up unto the LORD in face of the sun, that the fierce anger of the LORD may turn away from Israel.'
5 Moisés disse aos juízes de Israel: “Todos matam seus homens que se uniram a Baal Peor”.
And Moses said unto the judges of Israel: 'Slay ye every one his men that have joined themselves unto the Baal of Peor.'
6 Eis que um dos filhos de Israel veio e trouxe a seus irmãos uma mulher midianita aos olhos de Moisés e de toda a congregação dos filhos de Israel, enquanto choravam à porta da Tenda da Reunião.
And, behold, one of the children of Israel came and brought unto his brethren a Midianitish 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 Quando Phinehas, o filho de Eleazar, o filho de Arão, o sacerdote, viu isso, levantou-se do meio da congregação e pegou uma lança em sua mão.
And when Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw it, he rose up from the midst of the congregation, and took a spear in his hand.
8 Ele foi atrás do homem de Israel até o pavilhão, e empurrou ambos, o homem de Israel, e a mulher através de seu corpo. Então a peste foi detida entre os filhos de Israel.
And he went after the man of Israel into the chamber, and thrust both of them through, the man of Israel, and the woman through her belly. So the plague was stayed from the children of Israel.
9 Os que morreram pela peste eram vinte e quatro mil.
And those that died by the plague were twenty and four thousand.
10 Yahweh falou a Moisés, dizendo:
And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:
11 “Phinehas, o filho de Eleazar, o filho de Arão, o sacerdote, afastou minha ira dos filhos de Israel, pois tinha ciúmes com meu ciúme entre eles, para que eu não consumisse os filhos de Israel em meu ciúme.
'Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, hath turned My wrath away from the children of Israel, in that he was very jealous for My sake among them, so that I consumed not the children of Israel in My jealousy.
12 Por isso diz: “Eis que eu lhe dou meu pacto de paz”.
Wherefore say: Behold, I give unto him My covenant of peace;
13 Será para ele, e para seus descendentes depois dele, o pacto de um sacerdócio eterno, porque teve inveja de seu Deus, e fez expiação pelos filhos de Israel””.
and it shall be unto him, and to his seed after him, the covenant of an everlasting priesthood; because he was jealous for his God, and made atonement for the children of Israel.'
14 Now o nome do homem de Israel que foi morto, que foi morto com a mulher midianita, era Zimri, o filho de Salu, príncipe da casa de um pai entre os simeonitas.
Now the name of the man of Israel that was slain, who was slain with the Midianitish woman, was Zimri, the son of Salu, a prince of a fathers' house among the Simeonites.
15 O nome da mulher midianita que foi assassinada era Cozbi, a filha de Zur. Ele era o chefe do povo da casa de um pai em Midian.
And the name of the Midianitish woman that was slain was Cozbi, the daughter of Zur; he was head of the people of a fathers' house in Midian.
16 Yahweh falou a Moisés, dizendo:
And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:
17 “Ataquem os midianitas, e ataquem-nos;
'Harass the Midianites, and smite them;
18 pois eles o assediaram com suas artimanhas, em que o enganaram no caso de Peor, e no incidente relativo a Cozbi, a filha do príncipe de Midian, sua irmã, que foi assassinada no dia da praga no caso de Peor”.
for they harass you, by their wiles wherewith they have beguiled you in the matter of Peor, and in the matter of Cozbi, the daughter of the prince of Midian, their sister, who was slain on the day of the plague in the matter of Peor.'
