Números 25

SAGRADA BIBLIA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Habitando os israelitas em Setim, entregaram-se à libertinagem com as filhas de Moab.	1 Now Israel, at that time, dwelt in Shittim, and the people were fornicating with the daughters of Moab,
2 Estas convidaram o povo aos sacrifícios de seus deuses, e o povo comeu e prostrou-se diante dos seus deuses.	2 who called them to their sacrifices. And they ate, and they adored their gods.
3 Israel juntou-se a Beelfegor, provocando assim contra ele a cólera do Senhor:	3 And Israel was initiated into Baal of Peor. And so the Lord, being angry,
4 "Reúne, disse o Senhor a Moisés, todos os chefes do povo, e pendura os culpados em forcas diante de mim, de cara para o sol, a fim de que o fogo de minha cólera se desvie de 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.”
5 Moisés disse aos juízes de Israel: "Cada um de vós mate os seus que se tenham juntado a Beelfegor."	5 And Moses said to the judges of Israel, “Let each one kill his neighbors, who have been initiated into Baal of Peor.”
6 Entretanto, um dos filhos de Israel trouxe para junto de seus irmãos uma madianita, sob os olhos de Moisés e de toda a assembléia que chorava à entrada da tenda de reunião.	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.
7 Vendo isso, Finéias, filho de Eleazar, filho do sacerdote Aarão, levantou-se no meio da assembléia, tomou uma lança,	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,
8 seguiu o israelita até a sua tenda, e ali transpassou-o juntamente com a mulher, ferindo-os no ventre. E deteve-se então o flagelo que se alastrava entre os israelitas.	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.
9 Morreram vinte e quatro mil homens com essa praga.	9 And there were slain twenty-four thousand men.
10 O Senhor disse a Moisés:	10 And the Lord said to Moses:
11 "Finéias, filho de Eleazar, filho do sacerdote Aarão, desviou minha cólera de sobre os israelitas, dando provas entre eles do mesmo zelo que eu. Por isso não os extingui em minha cólera.	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.
12 Dize-lhe, pois, que lhe dou a minha aliança de paz.	12 Because of this, say to him: Behold, I give to him the peace of my covenant.
13 Isso será para ele e seus descendentes o pacto de um sacerdócio eterno, porque. se mostrou cheio de zelo pelo seu Deus, e fez expiação pelos israelitas."	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.”
14 Chamava-se Zamri, filho de Salu, o israelita que foi morto com a madianita, o qual era chefe de uma família patriarcal da tribo de Simeão;	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.
15 o nome da madianita morta era Cozbi, filha de Sur, chefe de tribo, de família patriarcal em Madiã.	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.
16 O Senhor disse a Moisés:	16 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
17 "Atacai os madianitas e matai-os,	17 “Let the Midianites perceive you as enemies, and strike them down,
18 porque eles vos atacaram primeiro, enganando-vos artificiosamente por meio do ídolo de Fogor e de Cozbi, sua irmã, filha de um chefe de Madiã, que foi massacrada no dia do flagelo que sobreveio por causa do sacrilégio de Fogor."	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.”
