Deuteronomy 1
1 In this book is written what Moses/I said to the Israeli people. He/I told them these things when they/we were in the desert, on the east side of the Jordan [River]. They/We had set up our tents near [a place named] Suph, between Paran [town on the one side of the river] and Tophel, Laban, Hazeroth, and Dizahab [towns on the other side of the river].
Estas são as palavras que falou Moisés a todo Israel desta parte do Jordão no deserto, na planície diante do mar Vermelho, entre Parã, e Tofel, e Labã, e Hazerote, e Di-Zaabe.
2 To walk from Sinai [Mountain] to the Kadesh-Barnea [oasis], people usually travel for only eleven days, going by way of the hilly area named Edom.
Onze jornadas há desde Horebe, caminho do monte de Seir, até Cades-Barneia.
3 Forty years after (the Israelis/we) left Egypt, in the middle of January, Moses/I told the Israeli people everything that Yahweh had commanded him/me to tell them.
E foi, que aos quarenta anos, no mês décimo primeiro, ao primeiro dia do mês, Moisés falou aos filhos de Israel conforme todas as coisas que o SENHOR lhe havia mandado acerca deles;
4 This was after they/we had defeated Sihon, the king of the Amor people-group, who lived in Heshbon [city], and Og, the king of the Bashan [region] who lived in Ashtaroth and Edrei [towns].
Depois que feriu a Seom rei dos amorreus, que habitava em Hesbom, e a Ogue rei de Basã, que habitava em Astarote em Edrei:
5 Moses/I told them these things while the people were in the Moab region, on the east side of the Jordan [River]. He/I (explained to them/enabled them to understand) God’s laws. This is what he/I said to them:
Desta parte do Jordão, em terra de Moabe, resolveu Moisés declarar esta lei, dizendo:
6 “Yahweh our God said to us when we were at Sinai [Mountain], ‘You have stayed for a very long time at [the bottom of] this mountain.
O SENHOR nosso Deus nos falou em Horebe, dizendo: Demais haveis estado neste monte;
7 So now continue traveling. Go to the hilly area where the Amor people-group lives and to the nearby areas—to the Jordan [River] Valley, to the hilly region, to the western (foothills/hills at the bottom of the mountains), to the desert area to the south, to the [Mediterranean] Seacoast, to all of Canaan land, to the Lebanon [Mountains], and [northeast] to the great Euphrates River.
Voltai-vos, parti-vos e ide ao monte dos amorreus, e a todos seus vizinhos, na planície, no monte, e nos vales, e ao sul, e à costa do mar, à terra dos cananeus, e o Líbano, até o grande rio, o rio Eufrates.
8 Note that I will give that land to you. I, Yahweh, promised to your ancestors Abraham and Isaac and Jacob that I would give it to them and to their descendants. So now go and occupy it.’”
Olhai, eu dei a terra em vossa presença; entrai e possuí a terra que o SENHOR jurou a vossos pais Abraão, Isaque, e Jacó, que lhes daria a eles e à sua descendência depois deles.
9 Moses/I also said to the people, “When [we were still at Sinai Mountain], I told your ancestors ‘It is a very big burden/responsibility for me to govern all of you. So I cannot do it by myself.
E eu vos falei então, dizendo: Eu não posso vos levar só:
10 Yahweh our God has caused us Israelis to now become as numerous as the stars in the sky.
O SENHOR vosso Deus vos multiplicou, e eis que sois hoje vós como as estrelas do céu em abundância.
11 And I hope/desire that Yahweh, the God whom our ancestors [worshiped], will cause us to become 1,000 times as numerous as we are now and that he will bless us just like he promised to do.
O SENHOR Deus de vossos pais acrescente sobre vós como sois mil vezes, e vos abençoe, como vos prometeu!
12 But I certainly cannot [RHQ] (solve/deal with) all of your complaints/problems.
Como levarei eu só vossos problemas, vossas cargas, e vossos pleitos?
13 So choose some men from your tribes who are wise and who have good sense and who are respected. Then I will appoint them to be your leaders.’
Dai-me dentre vós, de vossas tribos, homens sábios e entendidos e experientes, para que eu os ponha por vossos chefes.
14 Your ancestors replied, ‘What you have suggested is good for us to do.’
E me respondestes, e dissestes: Bom é fazer o que disseste.
15 So I took the wise and respected men [that your ancestors chose] from your tribes, and I appointed them to be your leaders. I appointed some to (rule/have authority) over 1,000 people, some to have authority over 100 people, some to have authority over 50 people, and some to have authority over ten people. I also appointed other officers from throughout your tribes.
E tomei os principais de vossas tribos, homens sábios e experientes, e os pus por chefes sobre vós, chefes de milhares, e chefes de centenas, e chefes de cinquenta, e líderes de dez, e governadores a vossas tribos.
16 I instructed/told your leaders, ‘Listen to the disputes that occur among your people. Judge each dispute, including disputes between close relatives and quarrels between your people and people from other countries who live among you.
E então mandei a vossos juízes, dizendo: Ouvi entre vossos irmãos, e julgai justamente entre o homem e seu irmão, e o que lhe é estrangeiro.
17 You must (be impartial/not favor one person more than another); you must treat poor people and important people equally. You must not worry about what anyone will think [about how you decide matters], because you will decide matters as God [wants you to]. If any quarrel/dispute is very difficult and you are unable to decide it, bring it to me, and I will decide.’
Não tenhais acepção de pessoas no juízo: tanto ao pequeno como ao grande ouvireis: não tereis temor de ninguém, porque o juízo é de Deus: e a causa que vos for difícil, a trareis a mim, e eu a ouvirei.
18 At that time I also told you other things that you should do.”
Eu vos mandei, pois, naquele tempo tudo o que havíeis de fazer.
19 “Then, just like Yahweh our God commanded us, we left Sinai [Mountain] and went through that huge desert that was very (dangerous/difficult to travel through), on the road to the hilly area where the Amor people-group live. We arrived at Kadesh-Barnea.
Então partimos de Horebe, e andamos por todo aquele grande e temível deserto que vistes, pelo caminho montanhoso dos amorreus, como o SENHOR, nosso Deus, havia nos mandado; e chegamos a Cades-Barneia.
20 I said to your ancestors, ‘We have now come to the hilly area where the Amor people-group live. This is part of the area that Yahweh our God, the one whom our ancestors [worshiped], is giving to us.
Então eu vos disse: ‘Chegastes à região montanhosa dos amorreus, a qual o SENHOR, nosso Deus, nos dá.
21 Note that Yahweh our God is giving this land to us. So go and occupy it as he commanded. Do not be (at all/even a little bit) afraid.’
Eis que o SENHOR, teu Deus, deu diante de ti esta terra; sobe e tomai posse dela, como o SENHOR, o Deus dos teus pais, te disse; não temas nem te apavores.’
22 But all of your ancestors came to me and said, ‘Before we go, we should [first] send some men there to explore the land, in order that they can return and tell us which will be the best road to go there and what kind of towns are there.’
Então todos vós vos aproximastes de mim, e dissestes: ‘Enviemos homens adiante de nós, que nos reconheçam a terra, e nos tragam de volta relato de qual caminho por onde devemos subir, e das cidades aonde devemos ir.’
23 I thought that it would be good to do that, so I chose twelve men, one man from each tribe.
E isso me pareceu bem. Então tomei doze homens de vós, um homem de cada tribo.
24 They went up into the hilly area as far as Eshcol Valley, and they explored all that area.
Eles se foram, subiram às montanhas, chegaram ao vale de Escol, e o reconheceram.
25 They picked some of the fruit that they found there and brought it to us. They reported that the land that Yahweh our God was giving to us is very good/fertile.”
E tomaram em suas mãos do fruto daquela terra, e o trouxeram a nós, e nos contaram, e disseram: ‘A terra que o SENHOR, nosso Deus, nos dá, é boa.’
26 “But your ancestors refused to go [and conquer that land]. They rebelled against what Yahweh our God had commanded them to do, and they would not go into that land.
Porém não quisestes subir, mas fostes rebeldes à ordem do SENHOR, vosso Deus;
27 Your ancestors [stayed] in their tents and complained saying ‘Yahweh hates us. So he has brought us here from Egypt just to allow the Amor people-group to destroy us.
E murmurastes em vossas tendas, dizendo: ‘É porque o SENHOR nos odeia que ele nos tirou da terra do Egito, para nos entregar nas mãos dos amorreus, para nos destruir.
28 (Why should we go there?/We do not want to go there.) [RHQ] The men whom we sent there have caused us to become very discouraged/afraid. They have told us that the people there are much stronger and taller than we are and that there are extremely high [HYP] walls around their towns. Also they reported that they saw [giants there that are] descendants of Anak.’
Para onde subiremos? Nossos irmãos fizeram derreter o nosso coração, dizendo: Este povo é maior e mais alto que nós, as cidades são grandes e muradas até o céu; e também vimos ali filhos de gigantes.’
29 Then I said to your ancestors, ‘Do not be afraid (at all/even a little bit) [DOU] of those people!
Então vos disse: Não temais, nem tenhais medo deles.
30 Yahweh our God will go ahead of you, and he will fight for you, just like you saw him do for you in Egypt
O SENHOR vosso Deus, o qual vai diante de vós, ele lutará por vós, conforme todas as coisas que fez por vós no Egito diante vossos olhos;
31 and in the desert. You saw how he brought you safely here, like a man would carry his son. [SIM]’
E no deserto viste que o SENHOR teu Deus te trouxe, como traz o homem a seu filho, por todo o caminho que andastes, até que viestes a este lugar.
32 [I reminded them that] he always went ahead of them while they traveled [in the desert]. He directed them by [a pillar of] fire during the night and a [pillar of] cloud during the day. He showed them places to set up their tents. But in spite of what I said, your ancestors would not trust Yahweh our God.
E ainda com isto não crestes no SENHOR vosso Deus,
O qual ia diante de vós pelo caminho, para reconhecer-vos o lugar onde havíeis de assentar o acampamento, com fogo de noite para vos mostrar o caminho por onde andásseis, e com nuvem de dia.
34 Yahweh heard what they said, and he became angry. He solemnly declared,
E ouviu o SENHOR a voz de vossas palavras, e irou-se, e jurou dizendo:
35 ‘Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, will enter the land. He has obeyed me completely. So I will give to him and to his descendants [some of] the land that he explored. He is the only one of all you people who will enter that land. None of these evil people will ever see that good land which I solemnly promised to give to your ancestors.’
Não verá homem algum destes desta má geração, a boa terra que jurei havia de dar a vossos pais,
Exceto Calebe filho de Jefoné: ele a verá, e a ele lhe darei a terra que pisou, e a seus filhos; porque cumpriu em seguir ao SENHOR.
37 But because of [what] your ancestors [did], Yahweh was also angry with me. He said to me, ‘You also will not enter that land.
E também contra mim se irou o SENHOR por vós, dizendo: Tampouco tu entrarás ali:
38 Joshua, the son of Nun, who is your helper, will enter it. Encourage him, because he is the one who will enable you Israeli people to occupy that land.’
Josué filho de Num, que está diante de ti, ele entrará ali: anima-o; porque ele a fará herdar a Israel.
39 Then Yahweh said to all of us, ‘You said that your children would be captured by your enemies. Because they are very young, they do not yet know what is good and what is evil. But they are the ones to whom I will give that land, and they will enter it and occupy it.
E vossas crianças, das quais dissestes serão por presa, e vossos filhos que não sabem hoje bem nem mal, eles entrarão ali, e a eles a darei, e eles a herdarão.
40 But as for you, turn around and go back into the desert, toward the (Red Sea/Gulf of Aqaba).’
E vós voltai-vos, e parti-vos ao deserto caminho do mar Vermelho.
41 Then your ancestors replied, ‘We have sinned; we have disobeyed Yahweh. So we will go and attack [the people who live in] that land, just like Yahweh our God commanded us to do.’ And each of their men put on his weapons, and they thought that it would be easy to invade the hilly region.
Então respondestes e me dissestes: Pecado temos contra o SENHOR; nós subiremos e lutaremos, conforme tudo o que o SENHOR nosso Deus nos mandou. E vos armastes cada um de suas armas de guerra, e vos preparastes para subir ao monte.
42 But Yahweh said to me, ‘Tell them, “Do not go up there and attack those people, because I will not go with you. If you go, your enemies will defeat you.”’
E o SENHOR me disse: Dize-lhes: Não subais, nem luteis, pois não estou entre vós; para que não sejais feridos diante de vossos inimigos.
43 So I told that to your ancestors, but they would not heed what I said. They [again] rebelled against what Yahweh commanded them to do. Their soldiers proudly/arrogantly marched up into that hilly region.
E vos falei, e não destes ouvido; antes fostes rebeldes ao dito do SENHOR, e persistindo com altivez, subistes ao monte.
44 Then the men of the Amor people-group who lived in that region came out [of their towns] and attacked those soldiers. They pursued your ancestors’ soldiers like [a swarm of] bees pursues people, and they pursued them [south] from the Edom area and defeated them at Hormah [city].
E saíram os amorreus, que habitavam naquele monte, a vosso encontro, e vos perseguiram, como fazem as vespas, e vos derrotaram em Seir, perseguindo-vos até Hormá.
45 So your ancestors went back [to Kadesh-Barnea] and cried out to request Yahweh [to help them], but he did not heed them. He did not pay any attention to them [DOU].
E voltastes, e chorastes diante do SENHOR; mas o SENHOR não escutou vossa voz, nem vos prestou ouvido.
46 So we stayed there at Kadesh-Barnea for a long time.”
E estivestes em Cades por muitos dias, como nos dias que estivestes.
