< Numbers 21 >
1 The Canaanite, the king of Arad, who lived in the South, heard that Israel came by the way of Atharim. He fought against Israel, and took some of them captive.
E quando o cananeu, o rei de Arade, que habitava ao sul, ouviu falar que Israel vinha pelo caminho de Atarim, lutou contra Israel, e dele levou alguns como prisioneiros.
2 Israel vowed a vow to the LORD, and said, “If you will indeed deliver this people into my hand, then I will utterly destroy their cities.”
Então Israel fez voto ao SENHOR, e disse: Se com efeito entregares a este povo em minha mão, eu destruirei suas cidades.
3 The LORD listened to the voice of Israel, and delivered up the Canaanites; and they utterly destroyed them and their cities. The name of the place was called Hormah.
E o SENHOR escutou a voz de Israel, e entregou aos cananeus, e destruiu-os a eles e a suas cidades; e chamou o nome daquele lugar Hormá.
4 They traveled from Mount Hor by the way to the Red Sea, to go around the land of Edom. The soul of the people was very discouraged because of the journey.
E partiram do monte de Hor, caminho do mar Vermelho, para rodear a terra de Edom; e abateu-se o ânimo do povo pelo caminho.
5 The people spoke against God and against Moses: “Why have you brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? For there is no bread, there is no water, and our soul loathes this disgusting food!”
E falou o povo contra Deus e Moisés: Por que nos fizeste subir do Egito para que morrêssemos neste deserto? que nem há pão, nem água, e nossa alma tem ódio deste pão tão miserável.
6 The LORD sent venomous snakes among the people, and they bit the people. Many people of Israel died.
E o SENHOR enviou entre o povo serpentes ardentes, que mordiam ao povo: e morreu muito povo de Israel.
7 The people came to Moses, and said, “We have sinned, because we have spoken against the LORD and against you. Pray to the LORD, that he take away the serpents from us.” Moses prayed for the people.
Então o povo veio a Moisés, e disseram: Pecado temos por haver falado contra o SENHOR, e contra ti: roga ao SENHOR que tire de nós estas serpentes. E Moisés orou pelo povo.
8 The LORD said to Moses, “Make a venomous snake, and set it on a pole. It shall happen that everyone who is bitten, when he sees it, shall live.”
E o SENHOR disse a Moisés: Faze-te uma serpente ardente, e põe-a sobre a haste: e será que qualquer um que for mordido e olhar a ela, viverá.
9 Moses made a serpent of bronze, and set it on the pole. If a serpent had bitten any man, when he looked at the serpent of bronze, he lived.
E Moisés fez uma serpente de bronze, e a pôs sobre a haste, e foi, que quando alguma serpente mordia a algum, olhava à serpente de bronze, e vivia.
10 The children of Israel traveled, and encamped in Oboth.
E partiram os filhos de Israel, e assentaram acampamento em Obote.
11 They traveled from Oboth, and encamped at Iyeabarim, in the wilderness which is before Moab, toward the sunrise.
E partidos de Obote, assentaram em Ijé-Abarim, no deserto que está diante de Moabe, ao oriente.
12 From there they traveled, and encamped in the valley of Zered.
Partidos dali, assentaram no vale de Zerede.
13 From there they traveled, and encamped on the other side of the Arnon, which is in the wilderness that comes out of the border of the Amorites; for the Arnon is the border of Moab, between Moab and the Amorites.
De ali moveram, e assentaram da outra parte de Arnom, que está no deserto, e que sai do termo dos amorreus; porque Arnom é termo de Moabe, entre Moabe e os amorreus.
14 Therefore it is said in The Book of the Wars of the LORD, “Vaheb in Suphah, the valleys of the Arnon,
Por isso se diz no livro das batalhas do SENHOR: Vaebe em Sufa, e nos ribeiros de Arnom:
15 the slope of the valleys that incline toward the dwelling of Ar, leans on the border of Moab.”
E à corrente dos ribeiros que vai a parar em Ar, e descansa no termo de Moabe.
16 From there they traveled to Beer; that is the well of which the LORD said to Moses, “Gather the people together, and I will give them water.”
E dali vieram a Beer: este é o poço do qual o SENHOR disse a Moisés: Junta ao povo, e lhes darei água.
17 Then Israel sang this song: “Spring up, well! Sing to it,
Então cantou Israel esta canção: Sobe, ó poço; a ele cantai:
18 the well, which the princes dug, which the nobles of the people dug, with the scepter, and with their poles.” From the wilderness they traveled to Mattanah;
Poço, o qual cavaram os senhores; Cavaram-no os príncipes do povo, E o legislador, com seus bordões. E do deserto [partiram] para Matana.
19 and from Mattanah to Nahaliel; and from Nahaliel to Bamoth;
E de Mataná a Naaliel: e de Naaliel a Bamote:
20 and from Bamoth to the valley that is in the field of Moab, to the top of Pisgah, which looks down on the desert.
E de Bamote ao vale que está nos campos de Moabe, e ao cume de Pisga, que está voltado a Jesimom.
21 Israel sent messengers to Sihon king of the Amorites, saying,
E enviou Israel embaixadores a Seom, rei dos amorreus, dizendo:
22 “Let me pass through your land. We will not turn away into field or vineyard. We will not drink of the water of the wells. We will go by the king’s highway, until we have passed your border.”
Deixa-me passar por tua terra: não nos desviaremos pelos campos, nem pelas vinhas; não beberemos as águas dos poços; pelo caminho real iremos, até que passemos os teus termos.
23 Sihon would not allow Israel to pass through his border, but Sihon gathered all his people together, and went out against Israel into the wilderness, and came to Jahaz. He fought against Israel.
Mas Seom não deixou passar a Israel por seus termos: antes juntou Seom todo seu povo, e saiu contra Israel no deserto: e veio a Jaza, e lutou contra Israel.
24 Israel struck him with the edge of the sword, and possessed his land from the Arnon to the Jabbok, even to the children of Ammon; for the border of the children of Ammon was fortified.
Mas Israel o feriu a fio de espada, e tomou sua terra desde Arnom até Jaboque, até os filhos de Amom: porque o termo dos filhos de Amom era forte.
25 Israel took all these cities. Israel lived in all the cities of the Amorites, in Heshbon, and in all its villages.
E tomou Israel todas estas cidades: e habitou Israel em todas as cidades dos amorreus, em Hesbom e em todas suas aldeias.
26 For Heshbon was the city of Sihon the king of the Amorites, who had fought against the former king of Moab, and taken all his land out of his hand, even to the Arnon.
Porque Hesbom era a cidade de Seom, rei dos amorreus; o qual havia tido guerra antes com o rei de Moabe, e tomado de seu poder toda a sua terra até Arnom.
27 Therefore those who speak in proverbs say, “Come to Heshbon. Let the city of Sihon be built and established;
Portanto, dizem os proverbistas: Vinde a Hesbom, Edifique-se e repare-se a cidade de Seom:
28 for a fire has gone out of Heshbon, a flame from the city of Sihon. It has devoured Ar of Moab, The lords of the high places of the Arnon.
Que fogo saiu de Hesbom, E chama da cidade de Seom, E consumiu a Ar de Moabe, aos senhores dos altos de Arnom.
29 Woe to you, Moab! You are undone, people of Chemosh! He has given his sons as fugitives, and his daughters into captivity, to Sihon king of the Amorites.
Ai de ti, Moabe! Pereceste, povo de Camos: Pôs seus filhos em fuga, E suas filhas em cativeiro, por Seom rei dos amorreus.
30 We have shot at them. Heshbon has perished even to Dibon. We have laid waste even to Nophah, Which reaches to Medeba.”
Mas devastamos o reino deles; pereceu Hesbom até Dibom, E destruímos até Nofá e Medeba.
31 Thus Israel lived in the land of the Amorites.
Assim habitou Israel na terra dos amorreus.
32 Moses sent to spy out Jazer. They took its villages, and drove out the Amorites who were there.
E enviou Moisés a reconhecer a Jazer; e tomaram suas aldeias, e expulsaram aos amorreus que estavam ali.
33 They turned and went up by the way of Bashan. Og the king of Bashan went out against them, he and all his people, to battle at Edrei.
E voltaram, e subiram caminho de Basã. E Ogue, rei de Basã, ele e todo o seu povo, saíram contra eles, para lutar em Edrei.
34 The LORD said to Moses, “Do not fear him, for I have delivered him into your hand, with all his people, and his land. You shall do to him as you did to Sihon king of the Amorites, who lived at Heshbon.”
Então o SENHOR disse a Moisés: Não tenhas medo dele, que em tua mão o dei, a o e a todo seu povo, e a sua terra; e farás dele como fizeste de Seom, rei dos amorreus, que habitava em Hesbom.
35 So they struck him, with his sons and all his people, until there were no survivors; and they possessed his land.
E feriram a ele, e a seus filhos, e a toda sua gente, sem que lhe restasse um, e possuíram sua terra.
