< Numbers 21 >
1 When the Canaanite king of Arad who lived in the Negev heard that Israel came by the way of Atharim, then he fought against Israel, and took some of them captive.
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 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 um voto ao Senhor, dizendo: Se totalmente entregares este povo na minha mão, destruirei totalmente as suas cidades.
3 The LORD listened to the voice of Israel, and delivered up the Canaanites; and they utterly destroyed them and their cities: and the name of the place was called Hormah.
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 They traveled from Mount Hor by the way to the Red Sea, to compass the land of Edom: and the soul of the people was much discouraged because of 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 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, and there is no 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 The LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and many people of Israel died.
Então o Senhor mandou entre o povo serpentes ardentes, que morderam o 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.
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 The LORD said to Moses, "Make a fiery serpent, and set it on a standard: and it shall happen, that everyone who is bitten, when he sees 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 Moses made a serpent of bronze, and set it on the standard: and it happened, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he looked to the serpent of bronze, 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 The children of Israel traveled, and camped in Oboth.
Então os filhos de Israel partiram, e alojaram-se em Oboth.
11 They traveled from Oboth, and camped at Iyeabarim, in the wilderness which is before Moab, toward the sunrise.
Depois partiram de Oboth, e alojaram-se nos outeiros de Abarim, no deserto que está defronte de Moab, ao nascente do sol.
12 From there they traveled, and camped in the Valley of Zered.
Dali partiram, e alojaram-se junto ao ribeiro de Zered.
13 From there they traveled, and camped 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.
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 the Book of the Wars of the LORD, "Waheb in Suphah, the valleys of the Arnon,
Pelo que se diz no livro das guerras do Senhor: Contra Vaheb em Supha, e contra os ribeiros de Arnon,
15 the slope of the valleys that incline toward the dwelling of Ar, leans on the border of Moab."
E contra a corrente dos ribeiros, que se volve para a situação de Ar, e se encosta aos termos de Moab.
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 se partiram a Beer; este é o poço do qual o Senhor disse a Moisés: Ajunta o povo, e lhe darei água
17 Then sang Israel this song: "Spring up, well; sing to it:
(Então Israel cantou este cântico: Sobe, poço, cantai dele:
18 the well, which the princes dug, which the nobles of the people dug, with the scepter, and with their staffs." From the wilderness they traveled to Mattanah;
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 Mattanah to Nahaliel; and from Nahaliel to Bamoth;
E de Mattana a Nahaliel, e de Nahaliel a Bamoth;
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 Bamoth ao vale que está no campo de Moab, no cume de Pisga, e à vista do deserto.
21 Israel sent messengers to Sihon king of the Amorites, saying,
Então Israel mandou mensageiros a Sehon, rei dos amorreus, dizendo:
22 "Let me pass through your land: we will not turn aside into field, or into 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 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 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; and he fought 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 Israel struck him with the edge of the sword, and possessed his land from the Arnon to the Jabbok, even to the people of Ammon; for the border of the people of Ammon was strong.
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 Israel took all these cities: and Israel lived in all the cities of the Amorites, in Heshbon, and in all its towns.
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 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 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 those who speak in proverbs say, "Come to Heshbon. Let the city of Sihon be built and established;
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 out of Heshbon, a flame from the city of Sihon. It has devoured Ar of Moab, swallowed up the high places of the 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 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, 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 we shot at them. Heshbon has perished as far as Dibon. And we have laid waste as far as Nophah, which reaches to Medeba."
E nós os derrubamos: Hesbon perdida é até Dibon, e os assolamos até Nophah, que se estende até Medeba
31 Thus Israel lived in the land of the Amorites.
Assim Israel habitou na terra dos amorreus.
32 Moses sent to spy out Jazer; and they took its towns, and drove out the Amorites who were there.
Depois mandou Moisés espiar a Jaezer, e tomaram as suas aldeias, e daquela possessão lançaram os amorreus que estavam ali.
33 They turned and went up by the way of Bashan: and Og the king of Bashan went out against them, he and all his people, to battle at Edrei.
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 The LORD said to Moses, "Do not fear him: for I have delivered him into your hand, and all his people, and his land; and you shall do to him as you did to Sihon king of the Amorites, who lived at Heshbon."
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 So they struck him, and his sons and all his people, until there was none left him remaining: and they possessed 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.
