Numbers 25
1 Now Israel, at that time, dwelt in Shittim, and the people were fornicating with the daughters of Moab,
E Israel deteve-se em Sittim, e o povo começou a fornicar com as filhas dos moabitas.
2 who called them to their sacrifices. And they ate, and they adored their gods.
E convidaram o povo aos sacrifícios dos seus deuses; e o povo comeu, e inclinou-se aos seus deuses.
3 And Israel was initiated into Baal of Peor. And so the Lord, being angry,
Juntando-se pois Israel a Baalpeor, a ira do Senhor se acendeu contra Israel.
4 said to Moses, “Take all the leaders of the people, and hang them on gallows against the sun, so that my fury may be averted from Israel.”
Disse o Senhor a Moisés: Toma todos os Cabeças do povo, e enforca-os ao Senhor diante do sol, e o ardor da ira do Senhor se retirará de Israel.
5 And Moses said to the judges of Israel, “Let each one kill his neighbors, who have been initiated into Baal of Peor.”
Então Moisés disse aos juízes de Israel: Cada um mate os seus homens que se conjuntaram a Baalpeor.
6 And behold, one of the sons of Israel entered, in the sight of his brothers, to a prostitute of Midian, within view of Moses and of all the crowd of the sons of Israel, who were weeping before the door of the tabernacle.
E eis que veio um homem dos filhos de Israel, e trouxe a seus irmãos uma midianita aos olhos de Moisés, e aos olhos de toda a congregação dos filhos de Israel, chorando eles diante da tenda da congregação.
7 And when Phinehas the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, had seen it, he rose up from the midst of the multitude, and, seizing a dagger,
Vendo isso Phineas, filho de Eleazar, o filho de Aarão, sacerdote, se levantou do meio da congregação, e tomou uma lança na sua mão
8 he entered after the Israelite man, into the brothel, and he pierced both of them at the same time, specifically, the man and the woman at the location of their genitals. And the scourge ceased from among the sons of Israel.
E foi após do varão israelita até à tenda, e os atravessou a ambos, ao varão israelita e à mulher, pela sua barriga: então a praga cessou de sobre os filhos de Israel
9 And there were slain twenty-four thousand men.
E os que morreram daquela praga foram vinte e quatro mil.
10 And the Lord said to Moses:
Então o Senhor falou a Moisés, dizendo:
11 “Phinehas the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, has averted my wrath from the sons of Israel. For he was moved against them by my zeal, so that I myself, in my zeal, might not wipe away the sons of Israel.
Phineas, filho de Eleazar, o filho de Aarão sacerdote, desviou a minha ira de sobre os filhos de Israel, pois zelou o meu zelo no meio deles; que no meu zelo não consumi os filhos de Israel.
12 Because of this, say to him: Behold, I give to him the peace of my covenant.
Portanto dize: Eis que lhe dou o meu concerto de paz,
13 And the covenant of the everlasting priesthood shall be as much for him as for his offspring. For he was zealous on behalf of his God, and he has made expiation for the wickedness of the sons of Israel.”
E ele, e a sua semente depois dele, terá o concerto do sacerdócio perpétuo; porquanto teve zelo pelo seu Deus, e fez propiciação pelos filhos de Israel.
14 Now the name of the Israelite man, who was killed with the Midianite woman, was Zimri the son of Salu, a leader from the kinship and tribe of Simeon.
E o nome do israelita morto, que foi morto com a midianita, era Zimri, filho de Salu, maioral da casa paterna dos simeonitas.
15 Moreover, the Midianite woman, who was put to death together with him, was called Cozbi the daughter of Zur, a most noble leader among the Midianites.
E o nome da mulher midianita, morta, era Cosbi, filha de Zur, cabeça do povo da casa paterna entre os midianitas.
16 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
Falou mais o Senhor a Moisés, dizendo:
17 “Let the Midianites perceive you as enemies, and strike them down,
Afligireis os midianitas e os ferireis,
18 for they, too, have behaved with hostility against you, and they have deceived you insidiously by means of the idol Peor, and by Cozbi, the daughter of a commander of Midian, their sister, who was struck down in the day of the scourge because of the sacrilege of Peor.”
Porque eles vos afligiram a vós outros com os seus enganos com que vos enganaram no negócio de Peor, e no negócio de Cosbi, filha do maioral dos midianitas, a irmã deles, que foi morta no dia da praga no negócio de Peor.
