Números 17
|
| And the Lord said to Moses, | Então disse o Senhor a Moisés: |
| Say to the children of Israel that they are to give you rods, one for every family, for every chief, the head of his father's house, making twelve rods; let every man's name be placed on his rod. | Fala aos filhos de Israel, e toma deles uma vara para cada casa paterna de todos os seus príncipes, segundo as casas de seus pais, doze varas; e escreve o nome de cada um sobre a sua vara. |
| And let Aaron's name be placed on the rod of Levi: for there is to be one rod for the head of every family. | O nome de Arão escreverás sobre a vara de Levi; porque cada cabeça das casas de seus pais terá uma vara. |
| And let them be stored up in the Tent of meeting, in front of the ark of witness where I come to you. | E as porás na tenda da revelação, perante o testemunho, onde venho a vós. |
| And the rod of that man who is marked out by me for myself will have buds on it; so I will put a stop to the outcries which the children of Israel make to me against you. | Então brotará a vara do homem que eu escolher; assim farei cessar as murmurações dos filhos de Israel contra mim, com que murmuram contra vós. |
| So Moses gave these orders to the children of Israel, and all their chiefs gave him rods, one for the head of every family, making twelve rods: and Aaron's rod was among them. | Falou, pois, Moisés aos filhos de Israel, e todos os seus príncipes deram-lhe varas, cada príncipe uma, segundo as casas de seus pais, doze varas; e entre elas estava a vara de Arão. |
| And Moses put the rods before the Lord in the Tent of witness. | E Moisés depositou as varas perante o Senhor na tenda do testemunho. |
| Now on the day after, Moses went into the Tent of witness; and he saw that Aaron's rod, the rod of the house of Levi, had put out buds, and was covered with buds and flowers and fruit. | Sucedeu, pois, no dia seguinte, que Moisés entrou na tenda do testemunho, e eis que a vara de Arão, pela casa de Levi, brotara, produzira gomos, rebentara em flores e dera amêndoas maduras. |
| Then Moses took out all the rods from before the Lord, and gave them back to the children of Israel: and they saw them, and every man took his rod. | Então Moisés trouxe todas as varas de diante do Senhor a todos os filhos de Israel; e eles olharam, e tomaram cada um a sua vara. |
| And the Lord said to Moses, Put Aaron's rod back in front of the ark of witness, to be kept for a sign against this false-hearted people, so that you may put a stop to their outcries against me, and death may not overtake them. | Então o Senhor disse a Moisés: Torna a pôr a vara de Arão perante o testemunho, para se guardar por sinal contra os filhos rebeldes; para que possas fazer acabar as suas murmuraçoes contra mim, a fim de que não morram. |
| This Moses did: as the Lord gave orders, so he did. | Assim fez Moisés; como lhe ordenara o Senhor, assim fez. |
| And the children of Israel said to Moses, Truly, destruction has come on us; an evil fate has overtaken us all. | Então disseram os filhos de Israel a Moisés: Eis aqui, nós expiramos, perecemos, todos nós perecemos. |
| Death will overtake everyone who comes near, who comes near the House of the Lord: are we all to come to destruction? | Todo aquele que se aproximar, sim, todo o que se aproximar do tabernáculo do Senhor, morrerá; porventura pereceremos todos? |
