Numbers 20
1 And the sons of Israel, and the entire multitude, went into the desert of Sin, in the first month. And the people stayed at Kadesh. And Miriam died there, and she was buried in the same place.
E chegaram os filhos de Israel, toda a congregação, ao deserto de Zim, no mês primeiro, e assentou o povo em Cades; e ali morreu Miriã, e foi ali sepultada.
2 And when the people were in need of water, they came together against Moses and Aaron.
E como não havia água para a congregação, juntaram-se contra Moisés e Arão.
3 And as it turned into sedition, they said: “If only we had perished among our brothers in the sight of the Lord.
E brigou o povo com Moisés, e falaram dizendo: Antes que nós tivéssemos morrido quando pereceram nossos irmãos diante do SENHOR!
4 Why have you led away the Church of the Lord, into the wilderness, so that both we and our cattle would die?
E por que fizeste vir a congregação do SENHOR a este deserto, para que morramos aqui nós e nossos animais?
5 Why did you cause us to ascend from Egypt, and why have you led us into this most wretched place, which is not able to be sown, which does not produce figs, or vines, or pomegranates, and which, moreover, does not even have water to drink?”
E por que nos fizeste subir do Egito, para trazer-nos a este mal lugar? Não é lugar de sementeira, de figueiras, de vinhas, nem romãs: nem ainda de água para beber.
6 And Moses and Aaron, dismissing the multitude, entered the tabernacle of the covenant, and they fell prone on the ground, and they cried out to the Lord, and they said: “O Lord God, listen to the outcry of this people, and open for them, from your storehouse, a fountain of living water, so that, being satisfied, their murmuring may cease.” And the glory of the Lord appeared over them.
E foram-se Moisés e Arão de diante da congregação à porta do tabernáculo do testemunho, e lançaram-se sobre seus rostos; e a glória do SENHOR apareceu sobre eles.
7 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
E falou o SENHOR a Moisés, dizendo:
8 “Take the rod, and gather the people, you and your brother Aaron, and speak to the rock before them, and it shall bestow waters. And when you have brought forth water from the rock, the entire multitude and their cattle shall drink.”
Toma a vara e reúne a congregação, tu e Arão teu irmão, e falai à rocha em olhos deles; e ela dará sua água, e lhes tirarás águas da rocha, e darás de beber à congregação, e a seus animais.
9 Therefore, Moses took the rod, which was in the sight of the Lord, just as he had instructed him.
Então Moisés tomou a vara de diante do SENHOR, como ele lhe mandou.
10 And having gathered the multitude before the rock, he said to them: “Listen, you who are rebellious and unbelieving. Would we be able to cast out water from this rock?”
E juntaram Moisés e Arão a congregação diante da rocha, e disse-lhes: Ouvi agora, rebeldes: Faremos para vós sair águas desta rocha?
11 And when Moses had lifted up his hand, striking the stone twice with the rod, very great waters went forth, so much so that the people and their cattle were able to drink.
Então levantou Moisés sua mão, e feriu a rocha com sua vara duas vezes: e saíram muitas águas, e bebeu a congregação, e seus animais.
12 And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, “Because you did not believe me, so as to sanctify me before the sons of Israel, you shall not lead this people into the land, which I will give to them.”
E o SENHOR disse a Moisés e a Arão: Porquanto não crestes em mim, para santificar-me aos olhos dos filhos de Israel, portanto, não poreis esta congregação na terra que lhes dei.
13 This is the Water of Contradiction, where the sons of Israel were quarreling against the Lord, and he was sanctified in them.
Estas são as águas da briga, pelas quais contenderam os filhos de Israel com o SENHOR, e ele se santificou neles.
14 Meanwhile, Moses sent messengers from Kadesh to the king of Edom. They said: “Your brother Israel says this: You know of all the hardships which have overtaken us,
E enviou Moisés embaixadores ao rei de Edom desde Cades: Assim diz Israel teu irmão: Tu soubeste todo o trabalho que nos veio:
15 how our fathers descended into Egypt, and we lived there for a long time, and the Egyptians afflicted both us and our fathers,
Como nossos pais desceram ao Egito, e estivemos no Egito longo tempo, e os egípcios nos maltrataram, e a nossos pais;
16 and how we cried out to the Lord, and he heeded us and sent an Angel, who led us away from Egypt. Behold, we are situated in the city of Kadesh, which is at the extremity of your borders.
E clamamos ao SENHOR, o qual ouviu nossa voz, e enviou anjo, e tirou-nos do Egito; e eis que estamos em Cades, cidade ao extremo de teus confins:
17 And we beg you to permit us to cross through your land. We will not go through the fields, nor through the vineyards; we will not drink the waters of your wells, but we will travel by the public ways, neither turning aside to the right, nor to the left, until we have passed your borders.”
Rogamo-te que passemos por tua terra; não passaremos por lavoura, nem por vinha, nem beberemos água de poços: pelo caminho real iremos, sem apartar-nos à direita nem à esquerda, até que havemos passado teu termo.
18 Edom responded to them: “You shall not cross through me, otherwise, I will meet you armed.”
E Edom lhe respondeu: Não passarás por minha terra, de outra maneira sairei contra ti armado.
19 And the sons of Israel said: “We will travel by the well-trodden path. And if we or our cattle drink from your waters, we will give you what is just. There shall be no difficulty in the price, only let us cross through quickly.”
E os filhos de Israel disseram: Pelo caminho seguido iremos; e se bebermos tuas águas eu e meus gados, darei o preço delas: certamente sem fazer outra coisa, passarei de seguida.
20 But he answered, “You shall not cross.” And immediately he went out to meet them with a countless multitude and a strong hand;
E ele respondeu: Não passarás. E saiu Edom contra ele com muito povo, e mão forte.
21 neither was he willing to agree to their petition to concede passage through his borders. For this reason, Israel diverted away from him.
Não quis, pois, Edom deixar passar a Israel por seu termo, e apartou-se Israel dele.
22 And when they had moved the camp from Kadesh, they arrived at mount Hor, which is at the borders of the land of Edom,
E partidos de Cades os filhos de Israel, toda aquela congregação, vieram ao monte de Hor.
23 where the Lord spoke to Moses:
E o SENHOR falou a Moisés e Arão no monte de Hor, nos confins da terra de Edom, dizendo:
24 “Let Aaron,” he said, “go to his people. For he shall not enter into the land which I have given to the sons of Israel, because he did not believe my mouth at the Waters of Contradiction.
Arão será reunido a seus povos; pois não entrará na terra que eu dize aos filhos de Israel, porquanto fostes rebeldes a meu mandamento nas águas da briga.
25 Take Aaron, and his son with him, and lead them on to mount Hor.
Toma a Arão e a Eleazar seu filho, e faze-os subir ao monte de Hor;
26 And when you have stripped the father of his vestments, you shall put them on Eleazar, his son. Aaron shall be gathered and shall die there.”
E faze desnudar a Arão suas roupas, e viste delas a Eleazar seu filho; porque Arão será reunido a seus povos, e ali morrerá.
27 Moses did just as the Lord had instructed. And they ascended mount Hor, in the sight of the entire multitude.
E Moisés fez como o SENHOR lhe mandou: e subiram ao monte de Hor à vista de toda a congregação.
28 And when he had despoiled Aaron of his vestments, he clothed his son Eleazar with them. And when Aaron had died at the top of the mountain, Moses came down with Eleazar.
E Moisés fez desnudar a Arão de suas roupas e vestiu-as a Eleazar seu filho: e Arão morreu ali no cume do monte: e Moisés e Eleazar desceram do monte.
29 And the entire multitude, seeing that Aaron lay dead, wept over him for thirty days, throughout all their families.
E vendo toda a congregação que Arão era morto, fizeram-lhe luto por trinta dias todas as famílias de Israel.
