Numbers 25

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

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

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

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

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

And Israel joined himself unto Baal–peor: and the anger of the LORD was kindled against 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.

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.

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

And Moses said unto the judges of Israel, Slay ye every one his men that were joined unto Baal–peor.

E 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, enquanto estavam chorando à porta da tenda da revelação.

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.

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

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;

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

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

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

Então disse o Senhor a Moisés:

And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

Disse mais o Senhor a Moisés:

And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

Afligi vós os midianitas e feri-os;

Vex the Midianites, and smite them:

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.

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.
