Numbers 25
1 And Israel abode in Shittim, and the people began to commit whoredom with the daughters of Moab:
E repousou Israel em Sitim, e o povo começou a se prostituir com as filhas de Moabe:
2 for they called the people unto the sacrifices of their gods; and the people did eat, and bowed down to their gods.
As quais chamaram ao povo aos sacrifícios de seus deuses: e o povo comeu, e inclinou-se a seus deuses.
3 And Israel joined himself unto Baal-peor: and the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel.
E achegou-se o povo a Baal-Peor; e o furor do SENHOR se acendeu contra Israel.
4 And the LORD said unto Moses, Take all the chiefs of the people, and hang them up unto the LORD before the sun, that the fierce anger of the LORD may turn away from Israel.
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.
5 And Moses said unto the judges of Israel, Slay ye every one his men that have joined themselves unto Baal-peor.
Então Moisés disse aos juízes de Israel: Matai cada um àqueles dos seus que se recolheram a Baal-Peor.
6 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.
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.
7 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;
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:
8 and 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 belly. So the plague was stayed from the children of Israel.
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.
9 And those that died by the plague were twenty and four thousand.
E morreram daquela mortandade vinte e quatro mil.
10 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Então o SENHOR falou a Moisés, dizendo:
11 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 jealous with my jealousy among them, so that I consumed not the children of Israel in my jealousy.
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.
12 Wherefore say, Behold, I give unto him my covenant of peace:
Portanto dize lhes: Eis que eu estabeleço meu pacto de paz com ele;
13 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.
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.
14 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.
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.
15 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.
E o nome da mulher midianita morta, era Cosbi, filha de Zur, príncipe de povos, pai de família em Midiã.
16 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
E o SENHOR falou a Moisés, dizendo:
17 Vex the Midianites, and smite them:
Sereis hostis aos midianitas, e os ferireis:
18 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 the prince of Midian, their sister, which was slain on the day of the plague in the matter of Peor.
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.
