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 whoredom 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 Baal-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 heads of the people, and hang them up before the LORD against the sun, that the fierce anger of the LORD may be turned 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 were joined unto Baal-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, who [were] weeping [before] the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
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 among the congregation, and took a javelin 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 tent, 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 in the plague were twenty and four thousand.
10 Yahweh falou a Moisés, dizendo:
And the LORD spake 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, while he was zealous for my sake among them, 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 he shall have it, and his seed after him, [even] the covenant of an everlasting priesthood; because he was zealous for his God, and made an 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 Israelite that was slain, [even] that was slain with the Midianitish woman, [was] Zimri, the son of Salu, a prince of a chief 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 over a people, [and] of a chief house in Midian.
16 Yahweh falou a Moisés, dizendo:
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
17 “Ataquem os midianitas, e ataquem-nos;
Vex 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 vex you with their wiles, wherewith they have beguiled you in the matter of Peor, and in the matter of Cozbi, the daughter of a prince of Midian, their sister, which was slain in the day of the plague for Peor’s sake.
