Números, 31
1. O Senhor disse a Moisés:
1. The LORD said to Moses,
2. “Vinga os filhos de Israel do mal que lhes fizeram os madianitas; depois disso, serás reunido aos teus”.
2. "Avenge the people of Israel on the Mid'ianites; afterward you shall be gathered to your people."
3. Moisés disse então ao povo: “Armem-se para a guerra alguns homens dentre vós: eles atacarão Madiã, para executarem sobre ele a vingança do Senhor.
3. And Moses said to the people, "Arm men from among you for the war, that they may go against Mid'ian, to execute the LORD's vengeance on Mid'ian.
4. Poreis em linha de combate mil homens de cada uma das tribos de Israel”.
4. You shall send a thousand from each of the tribes of Israel to the war."
5. Reuniram-se, pois, dentre as famílias de Israel, mil homens por tribo, ou seja, doze mil homens de pé, prontos para o combate.
5. So there were provided, out of the thousands of Israel, a thousand from each tribe, twelve thousand armed for war.
6. Moisés enviou-os ao combate; mil homens de cada tribo, com Fineias, filho do sacerdote Eleazar, que levou também os objetos sagrados e as trombetas para tocar.
6. And Moses sent them to the war, a thousand from each tribe, together with Phin'ehas the son of Elea'zar the priest, with the vessels of the sanctuary and the trumpets for the alarm in his hand.
7. Atacaram os madianitas, como o Senhor tinha ordenado a Moisés, e mataram todos os varões.
7. They warred against Mid'ian, as the LORD commanded Moses, and slew every male.
8. Mataram também os reis de Madiã: Evi, Recém, Sur, Hur e Rebe, cinco reis de Madiã, e passaram a fio da espada Balaão, filho de Beor.
8. They slew the kings of Mid'ian with the rest of their slain, Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur, and Reba, the five kings of Mid'ian; and they also slew Balaam the son of Be'or with the sword.
9. Levaram prisioneiras as mulheres dos madianitas com seus filhos, e pilharam todo o seu gado, seus rebanhos e todos os seus bens.
9. And the people of Israel took captive the women of Mid'ian and their little ones; and they took as booty all their cattle, their flocks, and all their goods.
10. Incendiaram todas as cidades que habitavam e todos os seus acampamentos.
10. All their cities in the places where they dwelt, and all their encampments, they burned with fire,
11. Levaram consigo todo o espólio e todos os despojos, animais e pessoas,
11. and took all the spoil and all the booty, both of man and of beast.
12. e conduziram-nos a Moisés, ao sacerdote Eleazar e à assembleia dos israelitas no acampamento que se encontrava nas planícies de Moab, perto do Jordão, em face de Jericó.
12. Then they brought the captives and the booty and the spoil to Moses, and to Elea'zar the priest, and to the congregation of the people of Israel, at the camp on the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho.
13. Moisés, o sacerdote Eleazar e todos os chefes da assembleia saíram-lhes ao encontro fora do acampamento.
13. Moses, and Elea'zar the priest, and all the leaders of the congregation, went forth to meet them outside the camp.
14. E Moisés, irado contra os generais do exército, os chefes de milhares e os chefes de centenas que voltavam da batalha, disse-lhes:
14. And Moses was angry with the officers of the army, the commanders of thousands and the commanders of hundreds, who had come from service in the war.
15. “O que é isso? Deixastes com vida todas essas mulheres?
15. Moses said to them, "Have you let all the women live?
16. Mas são justamente elas que, instigadas por Balaão, levaram os israelitas a serem infiéis ao Senhor na questão de Fegor, a qual foi também a causa do flagelo que feriu a assembleia do Senhor!
16. Behold, these caused the people of Israel, by the counsel of Balaam, to act treacherously against the LORD in the matter of Pe'or, and so the plague came among the congregation of the LORD.
17. Ide! Matai todos os filhos varões e todas as mulheres que tiverem tido comércio com um homem;
17. Now therefore, kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman who has known man by lying with him.
18. mas deixai vivas todas as jovens que não o fizeram.
18. But all the young girls who have not known man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves.
19. E vós, acampai durante sete dias fora do acampamento. Todos os que tiverem matado um homem ou tocado em um morto, deverão purificar-se ao terceiro e ao sétimo dia, eles e seus prisioneiros.
19. Encamp outside the camp seven days; whoever of you has killed any person, and whoever has touched any slain, purify yourselves and your captives on the third day and on the seventh day.
20. Purificai também toda veste, todo objeto de pele, todo tecido de pêlo de cabra e todo utensílio de madeira”.
20. You shall purify every garment, every article of skin, all work of goats' hair, and every article of wood."
21. O sacerdote Eleazar disse então aos guerreiros que tinham combatido: “Eis o preceito da lei que o Senhor impôs a Moisés:
21. And Elea'zar the priest said to the men of war who had gone to battle: "This is the statute of the law which the LORD has commanded Moses:
22. o ouro, a prata, o bronze, o ferro, o estanho, o chumbo, tudo o que pode passar pelas chamas
22. only the gold, the silver, the bronze, the iron, the tin, and the lead,
23. será purificado no fogo; mas será também purificado pela água lustral. Tudo o que não suporta o fogo será purificado com a água.
23. everything that can stand the fire, you shall pass through the fire, and it shall be clean. Nevertheless it shall also be purified with the water of impurity; and whatever cannot stand the fire, you shall pass through the water.
24. Lavareis vossas vestes no sétimo dia, para serdes puros; depois disso, voltareis ao acampamento”.
24. You must wash your clothes on the seventh day, and you shall be clean; and afterward you shall come into the camp."
25. O Senhor disse a Moisés:
25. The LORD said to Moses,
26. “Fazei o inventário de todo o espólio que foi tomado, homens e animais, tu, o sacerdote Eleazar e os chefes de família da assembleia.
26. "Take the count of the booty that was taken, both of man and of beast, you and Elea'zar the priest and the heads of the fathers' houses of the congregation;
27. Repartirás em seguida a presa em partes iguais entre os que pelejaram, e entre todo o resto da assembleia.
27. and divide the booty into two parts, between the warriors who went out to battle and all the congregation.
28. Da parte daqueles que pelejaram e foram à guerra, separarás um tributo para o Senhor, um de cada quinhentos homens, gado, jumentos ou ovelhas.
28. And levy for the LORD a tribute from the men of war who went out to battle, one out of five hundred, of the persons and of the oxen and of the asses and of the flocks;
29. Toma-o da sua metade para entregar ao sacerdote Eleazar, como oferta ao Senhor.
29. take it from their half, and give it to Elea'zar the priest as an offering to the LORD.
30. Da metade que toca aos israelitas, tomarás um de cada cinquenta, homens, bois, jumentos, ovelhas e qualquer outro animal, e darás aos levitas, que têm a guarda da casa do Senhor”.
30. And from the people of Israel's half you shall take one drawn out of every fifty, of the persons, of the oxen, of the asses, and of the flocks, of all the cattle, and give them to the Levites who have charge of the tabernacle of the LORD."
31. Moisés e o sacerdote Eleazar fizeram como o Senhor tinha ordenado.
31. And Moses and Elea'zar the priest did as the LORD commanded Moses.
32. Os despojos, o conjunto do espólio que tinha feito o exército era de seiscentos e setenta e cinco mil ovelhas,
32. Now the booty remaining of the spoil that the men of war took was: six hundred and seventy-five thousand sheep,
33. setenta e dois mil bois
33. seventy-two thousand cattle,
34. e sessenta e um mil jumentos.
34. sixty-one thousand asses,
35. Havia também trinta e duas mil jovens que não tinham coabitado com homem algum.
35. and thirty-two thousand persons in all, women who had not known man by lying with him.
36. Foi dada a metade àqueles que tinham ido ao combate, isto é, trezentas e trinta e sete mil e quinhentas ovelhas,
36. And the half, the portion of those who had gone out to war, was in number three hundred and thirty-seven thousand five hundred sheep,
37. das quais seiscentas e setenta e cinco para o tributo do Senhor;
37. and the LORD's tribute of sheep was six hundred and seventy-five.
38. trinta e seis mil bois, dos quais setenta e dois para o tributo do Senhor;

41. Moisés entregou ao sacerdote Eleazar o tributo tomado para o Senhor, como o Senhor lhe tinha ordenado.
41. And Moses gave the tribute, which was the offering for the LORD, to Elea'zar the priest, as the LORD commanded Moses.
42. Restava a metade destinada aos filhos de Israel, que Moisés havia separado da dos guerreiros.
42. From the people of Israel's half, which Moses separated from that of the men who had gone to war --
43. Essa parte da assembleia compreendia trezentas e trinta e sete mil e quinhentas ovelhas,

48. Then the officers who were over the thousands of the army, the captains of thousands and the captains of hundreds, came near to Moses,
49. aproximaram-se então de Moisés e disseram-lhe: “Teus servos fizeram a conta dos guerreiros que estiveram sob o nosso comando: não falta nem um sequer.
49. and said to Moses, "Your servants have counted the men of war who are under our command, and there is not a man missing from us.
50. Trazemos, pois, como oferta ao Senhor, tudo o que cada um encontrou de objetos de ouro: correntinhas, braceletes, anéis, brincos e colares, para que se faça expiação por nós diante do Senhor”.
50. And we have brought the LORD's offering, what each man found, articles of gold, armlets and bracelets, signet rings, earrings, and beads, to make atonement for ourselves before the LORD."
