Números 25

1E Israel deteve-se em Sitim e o povo começou a prostituir-se com as filhas dos moabitas.

1And Israel abode in Shittim, and the people began to commit whoredom with the daughters of Moab.

2Elas convidaram o povo aos sacrifícios dos seus deuses; e o povo comeu, e inclinou-se aos seus deuses.

2And they called the people unto the sacrifices of their gods: and the people did eat, and bowed down to their gods.

3Juntando-se, pois, Israel a Baal-peor, a ira do Senhor se acendeu contra Israel.

3And Israel joined himself unto Baalpeor: and the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel.

4Disse 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.

4And 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.

5Então Moisés disse aos juízes de Israel: Cada um mate os seus homens que se juntaram a Baal-peor.

5And Moses said unto the judges of Israel, Slay ye every one his men that were joined unto Baalpeor.

6E eis que veio um homem dos filhos de Israel, e trouxe a seus irmãos uma midianita, à vista de Moisés, e à vista de toda a congregação dos filhos de Israel, chorando eles diante da tenda da congregação.

6And, 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.

7Vendo isso Finéias, filho de Eleazar, o filho de Arão, sacerdote, se levantou do meio da congregação, e tomou uma lança na sua mão;

7And 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;

8E foi após o homem israelita até à tenda, e os atravessou a ambos, ao homem israelita e à mulher, pelo ventre; então a praga cessou de sobre os filhos de Israel.

8And 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.

9E os que morreram daquela praga foram vinte e quatro mil.

9And those that died in the plague were twenty and four thousand.

10Então o Senhor falou a Moisés, dizendo:

10And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

11Finéias, filho de Eleazar, o filho de Arão, sacerdote, desviou a minha ira de sobre os filhos de Israel, pois foi zeloso com o meu zelo no meio deles; de modo que, no meu zelo, não consumi os filhos de Israel.

11Phinehas, 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. {for...: Heb. with my zeal}

12Portanto dize: Eis que lhe dou a minha aliança de paz;

12Wherefore say, Behold, I give unto him my covenant of peace:

13E ele, e a sua descendência depois dele, terá a aliança do sacerdócio perpétuo, porquanto teve zelo pelo seu Deus, e fez expiação pelos filhos de Israel.

13And 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.

14E o nome do israelita, que foi morto com a midianita, era Zimri, filho de Salu, príncipe da casa paterna dos simeonitas.

14Now 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. {chief...: Heb. house of a father}

15E o nome da mulher midianita morta era Cosbi, filha de Zur, cabeça do povo da casa paterna entre os midianitas.

15And 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.

16Falou mais o Senhor a Moisés, dizendo:

16And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

17Afligireis os midianitas e os ferireis,

17Vex the Midianites, and smite them:

18Porque eles vos afligiram a vós com os seus enganos com que vos enganaram no caso de Peor, e no caso de Cosbi, filha do príncipe dos midianitas, irmã deles, que foi morta no dia da praga no caso de Peor.

18For 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.
