1 ¶ And Israel abode in Shittim, and the people began to fornicate with the daughters of Moab,

Ora, Israel demorava-se em Sitim, e o povo começou a prostituir-se com as filhas de Moabe,

2 w ho called the people unto the sacrifices of their gods; and the people ate and bowed down to their gods.

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

3 A nd Israel joined himself unto Baalpeor; and the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel.

Porquanto Israel se juntou a Baal-Peor, a ira do Senhor acendeu-se contra ele.

4 A nd the LORD said unto Moses, Take all the princes of the people and disjoint them before the LORD hanging them from a tree against the sun, that the fierce anger of the LORD may be turned away from Israel.

Disse, pois, o Senhor a Moisés: Toma todos os cabeças do povo, e enforca-os ao senhor diante do sol, para que a grande ira do Senhor se retire de Israel.

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

Então Moisés disse aos juízes de Israel: Mate cada um os seus homens que se juntaram a Baal-Peor.

6 ¶ Then, behold, one of the sons of Israel came and brought unto his brethren a Midianite woman in the sight of Moses and in the sight of all the congregation of the sons of Israel, who were weeping before the door of the tabernacle of the testimony.

E eis que veio um homem dos filhos de Israel, e trouxe a seus irmãos uma midianita ã vista de Moisés e ã vista de toda a congregação dos filhos de Israel, enquanto estavam chorando ã porta da tenda da revelação.

7 A nd 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;

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

8 a nd 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 of the sons of Israel was stayed.

o foi após o israelita, e entrando na sua tenda, os atravessou a ambos, ao israelita e ã mulher, pelo ventre. Então a praga cessou de sobre os filhos de Israel.

9 A nd those that died in that plague were twenty-four thousand.

Ora, os que morreram daquela praga foram vinte e quatro mil.

10 T hen the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,

Então disse o Senhor a Moisés:

11 P hinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, has turned my wrath away from the sons of Israel, being zealous for my sake among them, therefore I did not consume the sons of Israel in my jealousy.

Finéias, filho de Eleazar, filho do sacerdote Arão, 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.

12 B ecause of this say unto them, Behold, I establish my covenant of peace with him;

Portanto dize: Eis que lhe dou o meu pacto de paz,

13 a nd he shall have, and his seed after him, even the covenant of the everlasting priesthood because he was zealous for his God and reconciled the sons of Israel.

e será para ele e para a sua descendência depois dele, o pacto de um sacerdócio perpétuo; porquanto foi zeloso pelo seu Deus, e fez expiação pelos filhos de Israel.

14 N ow the name of the Israelite that was slain, even that was slain with the Midianite, was Zimri, the son of Salu, a prince of a family of the tribe of Simeon.

O nome do israelita que foi morto com a midianita era Zinri, filho de Salu, príncipe duma casa paterna entre os simeonitas.

15 A nd the name of the Midianite woman that was slain was Cozbi, the daughter of Zur, prince of peoples, of the house of the father, in Midian.

E o nome da mulher midianita morta era Cozbi, filha de Zur; o qual era cabeça do povo duma casa paterna em Midiã.

16 ¶ And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,

Disse mais o Senhor a Moisés:

17 D eclare war on the Midianites and smite them;

Afligi vós os midianitas e feri-os;

18 f or they treated you as enemies with their wiles, with which they have beguiled you in the matter of Peor, and in the matter of Cozbi, daughter of the prince of Midian, their sister, who was slain in the day of the plague for Peor’s sake.

porque eles vos afligiram a vós com as suas ciladas com que vos enganaram no caso de Peor, e no caso de Cozbi, sua irmã, filha do príncipe de Midiã, a qual foi morta no dia da praga no caso de Peor.
