< Numbers 21 >

1 And Arad the Chananitish king who dwelt by the wilderness, heard that Israel came by the way of Atharin; and he made war on Israel, and carried off some of them captives.
Ouvindo o Cananeo, o rei de Harad, que habitava para a banda do sul, que Israel vinha pelo caminho das espias, pelejou contra Israel, e dele levou alguns deles por prisioneiros.
2 And Israel vowed a vow to the Lord, and said, If thou wilt deliver this people into my power, I will devote it and its cities [to thee].
Então Israel fez um voto ao Senhor, dizendo: Se totalmente entregares este povo na minha mão, destruirei totalmente as suas cidades.
3 And the Lord hearkened to the voice of Israel, and delivered the Chananite into his power; and [Israel] devoted him and his cities, and they called the name of that place Anathema.
O Senhor pois ouviu a voz de Israel, e entregou os cananeus, e os destruiu totalmente, a eles e às suas cidades: e o nome daquele lugar chamou Horma.
4 And having departed from mount Or by the way [leading] to the Red Sea, they compassed the land of Edom, and the people lost courage by the way.
Então partiram do monte de Hor, pelo caminho do Mar Vermelho, a rodear a terra de Edom: porém a alma do povo angustiou-se neste caminho.
5 And the people spoke against God and against Moses, saying, Why is this? Hast thou brought us ought of Egypt to slay us in the wilderness? for there is not bread nor water; and our soul loathes this light bread.
E o povo falou contra Deus e contra Moisés: Porque nos fizestes subir do Egito para que morressemos neste deserto? pois aqui nem pão nem água há: e a nossa alma tem fastio deste pão tão vil
6 And the Lord sent among the people deadly serpents, and they bit the people, and much people of the children of Israel died.
Então o Senhor mandou entre o povo serpentes ardentes, que morderam o povo; e morreu muito povo de Israel.
7 And the people came to Moses and said, We have sinned, for we have spoken against the Lord, and against thee: pray therefore to the Lord, and let him take away the serpent from us.
Pelo que o povo veio a Moisés, e disse: Havemos pecado, porquanto temos falado contra o Senhor e contra ti; ora ao Senhor que tire de nós estas serpentes. Então Moisés orou pelo povo.
8 And Moses prayed to the Lord for the people; and the Lord said to Moses, Make thee a serpent, and put it on a signal-[staff]; and it shall come to pass that whenever a serpent shall bite a man, every one [so] bitten that looks upon it shall live.
E disse o Senhor a Moisés: Faze-te uma serpente ardente, e põe-na sobre uma haste: e será que viverá todo o mordido que atentar para ela.
9 And Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a signal-[staff]: and it came to pass that whenever a serpent bit a man, and he looked on the brazen serpent, he lived.
E Moisés fez uma serpente de metal, e pô-la sobre uma haste; e era que, mordendo alguma serpente a alguém, atentava para a serpente de metal, e ficava vivo.
10 And the children of Israel departed, and encamped in Oboth.
Então os filhos de Israel partiram, e alojaram-se em Oboth.
11 And having departed from Oboth, they encamped in Achalgai, on the farther side in the wilderness, which is opposite Moab, toward the east.
Depois partiram de Oboth, e alojaram-se nos outeiros de Abarim, no deserto que está defronte de Moab, ao nascente do sol.
12 And thence they departed, and encamped in the valley of Zared.
Dali partiram, e alojaram-se junto ao ribeiro de Zered.
13 And they departed thence and encamped on the other side of Arnon in the wilderness, [the country] which extends from the coasts of the Amorites; for Arnon is the borders of Moab, between Moab and the Amorites.
E dali partiram, e alojaram-se desta banda de Arnon, que está no deserto e sai dos termos dos amorreus: porque Arnon é o termo de Moab, entre Moab e os amorreus.
14 Therefore it is said in a book, A war of the Lord has set on fire Zoob, and the brooks of Arnon.
Pelo que se diz no livro das guerras do Senhor: Contra Vaheb em Supha, e contra os ribeiros de Arnon,
15 And he has appointed brooks to cause Er to dwell [there]; and it lies near to the coasts of Moab.
E contra a corrente dos ribeiros, que se volve para a situação de Ar, e se encosta aos termos de Moab.
16 And thence [they came to] the well; this [is] the well of which the Lord said to Moses, Gather the people, and I will give them water to drink.
E dali se partiram a Beer; este é o poço do qual o Senhor disse a Moisés: Ajunta o povo, e lhe darei água
17 Then Israel sang this song at the well, Begin [to sing] of the well;
(Então Israel cantou este cântico: Sobe, poço, cantai dele:
18 the princes digged it, the kings of the nations in their kingdom, in their lordship sank it in the rock: and [they went] from the well to Manthanain,
Tu, poço, que cavaram os príncipes, que escavaram os nobres do povo, e o legislador com os seus bordões): e do deserto partiram para Mattana;
19 and from Manthanain to Naaliel, and from Naaliel to Bamoth, and from Bamoth to Janen, which is in the plain of Moab [as seen] from the top of the quarried [rock] that looks toward the wilderness.
E de Mattana a Nahaliel, e de Nahaliel a Bamoth;
20 And Moses sent ambassadors to Seon king of the Amorites, with peaceable words, saying,
E de Bamoth ao vale que está no campo de Moab, no cume de Pisga, e à vista do deserto.
21 We will pass through thy land, we will go by the road; we will not turn aside to the field or to the vineyard.
Então Israel mandou mensageiros a Sehon, rei dos amorreus, dizendo:
22 We will not drink water out of thy well; we will go by the king's highway, until we have past thy boundaries.
Deixa-me passar pela tua terra; não nos desviaremos pelos campos nem pelas vinhas: as águas dos poços não beberemos: iremos pela estrada real até que passemos os teus termos.
23 And Seon did not allow Israel to pass through his borders, and Seon gathered all his people, and went out to set the battle in array against Israel into the wilderness; and he came to Jassa, and set the battle in array against Israel.
Porem Sehon não deixou passar a Israel pelos seus termos; antes Sehon congregou todo o seu povo, e saiu ao encontro de Israel ao deserto, e veio a Jazha, e pelejou contra Israel.
24 And Israel smote him with the slaughter of the sword, and they became possessors of his land, from Arnon to Jaboc, as far as the children of Amman, for Jazer is the borders of the children of Amman.
Mas Israel o feriu ao fio da espada, e tomou a sua terra em possessão, desde Arnon até Jabbok, até aos filhos de Ammon: porquanto o termo dos filhos de Ammon era firme.
25 And Israel took all their cities, and Israel dwelt in all the cities of the Amorites, in Esebon, and in all cities belonging to it.
Assim Israel tomou todas estas cidades: e Israel habitou em todas as cidades dos amorreus, em Hesbon e em todas as suas aldeias.
26 For Esebon is the city of Seon king of the Amorites; and he before fought against the king of Moab, and they took all his land, from Aroer to Arnon.
Porque Hesbon era cidade de Sehon, rei dos amorreus, e tinha pelejado contra o precedente rei dos moabitas, e tinha tomado da sua mão toda a sua terra até Arnon.
27 Therefore say they who deal in dark speeches, Come to Esebon, that the city of Seon may be built and prepared.
Pelo que dizem os que falam em provérbios: Vinde a Hesbon; edifique-se e fortifique-se a cidade de Sehon.
28 For a fire has gone forth from Esebon, a flame from the city of Seon, and has consumed as far as Moab, and devoured the pillars of Arnon.
Porque fogo saiu de Hesbon, e uma chama da cidade de Sehon: e consumiu a Ar dos moabitas, e os senhores dos altos de Arnon.
29 Woe to thee, Moab; thou art lost, thou people of Chamos: their sons are sold for preservation, and their daughters are captives to Seon king of the Amorites.
Ai de ti, Moab! perdido és, povo de Chamoz! entregou seus filhos, que iam fugindo, e suas filhas, a ser cativos a Sehon, rei dos amorreus.
30 And their seed shall perish [from] Esebon to Daebon; and their women have yet farther kindled a fire against Moab.
E nós os derrubamos: Hesbon perdida é até Dibon, e os assolamos até Nophah, que se estende até Medeba
31 And Israel dwelt in all the cities of the Amorites.
Assim Israel habitou na terra dos amorreus.
32 And Moses sent to spy out Jazer; and they took it, and its villages, and cast out the Amorite that dwelt there.
Depois mandou Moisés espiar a Jaezer, e tomaram as suas aldeias, e daquela possessão lançaram os amorreus que estavam ali.
33 And having returned, they went up the road thhebraismat leads to Basan; and Og the king of Basan went forth to meet them, and all his people to war to Edrain.
Então viraram-se, e subiram o caminho de Basan: e Og, rei de Basan, saiu contra eles, ele e todo o seu povo, à peleja em Edrei.
34 And the Lord said to Moses, Fear him not; for I have delivered him and all his people, and all his land, into thy hands; and thou shalt do to him as thou didst to Seon king of the Amorites, who dwelt in Esebon.
E disse o Senhor a Moisés: Não o temas, porque eu to tenho dado na tua mão, a ele, e a todo o seu povo, e a sua terra, e far-lhe-ás como fizeste a Sehon, rei dos amorreus, que habitava em Hesbon.
35 And he smote him and his sons, and all his people, until he left none of his to be taken alive; and they inherited his land.
E de tal maneira o feriram, a ele e a seus filhos, e a todo o seu povo, que nenhum deles escapou: e tomaram a sua terra em possessão.
