Numbers 21
1 The Canaanite king of Arad who lived in the Negev learned that the Israelites were approaching on the road to Atharim. He went and attacked Israel and took some of them prisoners.
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 So Israel made a solemn promise to the Lord: “If you hand these people over to us, we pledge to completely destroy their towns.”
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 responded to their appeal and handed over the Canaanites to them. The Israelites completely destroyed them and their towns, and named the place 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 The Israelites left Mount Hor by the road leading to the Red Sea so they could avoid traveling through the country of Edom. But the people became bad-tempered on the way
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 and made complaints against God and against Moses, saying, “Why did you lead us out of Egypt to die in the desert? We don't have bread or water, and we hate this awful 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 So the Lord sent poisonous snakes to attack them, and many Israelites were bitten and died.
E o SENHOR enviou entre o povo serpentes ardentes, que mordiam ao povo: e morreu muito povo de Israel.
7 The people went to see Moses and told him, “We were wrong to make complaints against the Lord and against you. Please pray to the Lord to get rid of the snakes from us.” Moses prayed to the Lord on their behalf.
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 told Moses, “Make a model of a snake and put it on a pole. When anyone who has been bitten looks at it, they will 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 snake out of bronze and put it on a pole. Those who looked at it did live.
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 Israelites left and camped at Oboth.
E partiram os filhos de Israel, e assentaram acampamento em Obote.
11 Then they moved on from Oboth and camped at Iye-abarim in the desert on the east side of Moab.
E partidos de Obote, assentaram em Ijé-Abarim, no deserto que está diante de Moabe, ao oriente.
12 They left there and camped in the Valley of Zered.
Partidos dali, assentaram no vale de Zerede.
13 Then they moved on from there and camped on the far side of the Arnon River, in the desert near Amorite territory. The Arnon River is the border between the 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 That's why the Book of the Wars of the Lord refers to “the town of Waheb in Suphah and the canyon of the Arnon,
Por isso se diz no livro das batalhas do SENHOR: Vaebe em Sufa, e nos ribeiros de Arnom:
15 the canyon slopes that reach the village of Ar that lies on the border with Moab.”
E à corrente dos ribeiros que vai a parar em Ar, e descansa no termo de Moabe.
16 From there they moved on to Beer, the well where the Lord told Moses, “Have the people gather together so I can 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 the Israelites sang this song: “Pour out water, well! Everyone of you sing to it!
Então cantou Israel esta canção: Sobe, ó poço; a ele cantai:
18 The tribal chiefs dug the well; yes the leaders of the people dug the well with their rods of authority and their walking sticks.” The Israelites left the desert and carried on 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 From Mattanah they traveled to Nahaliel, from Nahaliel to Bamoth,
E de Mataná a Naaliel: e de Naaliel a Bamote:
20 and from Bamoth to the valley in the territory of Moab where the top of Mount Pisgah looks down on the wastelands.
E de Bamote ao vale que está nos campos de Moabe, e ao cume de Pisga, que está voltado a Jesimom.
21 Then Israel sent messengers to Sihon, king of the Amorites, with the following request:
E enviou Israel embaixadores a Seom, rei dos amorreus, dizendo:
22 “Please allow us to travel through your country. We won't cross any of your fields or vineyards, or drink water from any of your wells. We will stay on the King's Highway until we have passed through your country.”
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 But Sihon refused to allow the Israelites to travel through his territory. Instead, he called out his whole army and went out to meet the Israelites head-on in the desert. When he arrived at Jahaz, he attacked the Israelites.
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 The Israelites defeated them, killing them with their swords. They took over his land from the Arnon River to the Jabbok River —but only as far as the border of the Ammonites, because it was well defended.
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 The Israelites conquered all the Amorite towns and took them over, including Heshbon and its surrounding villages.
E tomou Israel todas estas cidades: e habitou Israel em todas as cidades dos amorreus, em Hesbom e em todas suas aldeias.
26 Heshbon was the capital of Sihon, king of the Amorites, who had fought against the previous king of Moab and had taken from him all his land as far as the Arnon River.
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 That's why the old songwriters wrote: “Come to Heshbon and have it be rebuilt; restore the town of Sihon!
Portanto, dizem os proverbistas: Vinde a Hesbom, Edifique-se e repare-se a cidade de Seom:
28 For a fire blazed out from Heshbon, a flame from the town of Sihon. It burned up Ar in Moab where the rulers live on the high places of 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 What a disaster you face, Moab! You are all going to die, people of Chemosh! You handed over your sons as exiles and your daughters as prisoners 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 But now we have defeated the Amorites! Heshbon's rule has been destroyed all the way to Dibon. We wiped them out all the way to Nophah and on to Medeba.”
Mas devastamos o reino deles; pereceu Hesbom até Dibom, E destruímos até Nofá e Medeba.
31 The Israelites occupied the country of the Amorites.
Assim habitou Israel na terra dos amorreus.
32 Moses sent men to explore Jazer. The Israelites conquered its surrounding villages and expelled the Amorites living there.
E enviou Moisés a reconhecer a Jazer; e tomaram suas aldeias, e expulsaram aos amorreus que estavam ali.
33 Then they continued on the road towards Bashan. Og, king of Bashan, led his whole army out to meet them head on, and fought them 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 told Moses, “You don't need to be afraid of him, because I have handed him over to you, along with all his people and his land. Do to him what you did to Sihon, king of the Amorites, who ruled from 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 killed Og, his sons, and all his army. Nobody survived, and the Israelites took over his country.
E feriram a ele, e a seus filhos, e a toda sua gente, sem que lhe restasse um, e possuíram sua terra.
