Números 25

1E repousou Israel em Sitim, e o povo começou a se prostituir com as filhas de Moabe:

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

2As quais chamaram ao povo aos sacrifícios de seus deuses: e o povo comeu, e inclinou-se a seus deuses.

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

3E achegou-se o povo a Baal-Peor; e o furor do SENHOR se acendeu contra Israel.

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

4E 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.

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: Matai cada um àqueles dos seus que se recolheram 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 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.

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.

7E 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:

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 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.

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 morreram daquela mortandade 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,

11Fineias, 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.

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.

12Portanto dize lhes: Eis que eu estabeleço meu pacto de paz com ele;

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

13E 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.

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 homem morto, que foi morto com a midianita, era Zinri filho de Salu, chefe de uma família da tribo de Simeão.

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.

15E o nome da mulher midianita morta, era Cosbi, filha de Zur, príncipe de povos, pai de família em Midiã.

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.

16E o SENHOR falou a Moisés, dizendo:

16And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

17Sereis hostis aos midianitas, e os ferireis:

17Vex the Midianites, and smite them:

18Porquanto 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.

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.
