Numbers 14
1 That night, all the Israeli people cried loudly.
Então toda a congregação levantaram grito, e deram vozes: e o povo chorou aquela noite.
2 The next day they all complained to Aaron and Moses/me. All the men said, “We wish that we had died in Egypt, or in this desert!
E queixaram-se contra Moisés e contra Arão todos os filhos de Israel; e disse-lhes toda a multidão: Melhor seria se tivéssemos morrido na terra do Egito; ou melhor seria se tivéssemos morrido neste deserto!
3 Why is Yahweh bringing us to this land, where we men will be killed with swords? And our wives and children will be taken away [to be slaves]. [Instead of going to Canaan]. It would be better for us to return to Egypt!”
E por que nos traze o SENHOR a esta terra para cair à espada e que nossas mulheres e nossos meninos sejam por presa? não nos seria melhor voltarmos ao Egito?
4 Then [some of] them said to each other, “We should choose a leader who will take us back to Egypt!”
E diziam um ao outro: Façamos um capitão, e voltemos ao Egito.
5 Then Aaron and Moses/I bowed down [to pray] in front of all the Israeli people who had gathered there.
Então Moisés e Arão caíram sobre seus rostos diante de toda a multidão da congregação dos filhos de Israel.
6 Joshua and Caleb, two of the men who had explored the land, tore their clothes [because they were very dismayed].
E Josué filho de Num, e Calebe filho de Jefoné, que eram dos que haviam reconhecido a terra, rasgaram suas roupas;
7 They said to the Israeli people, “The land that we explored is very good.
E falaram a toda a congregação dos filhos de Israel, dizendo: A terra por de onde passamos para reconhecê-la, é terra em grande maneira boa.
8 If Yahweh is pleased with us, he will lead us into that very fertile [IDM] land, and he will give it to us.
Se o SENHOR se agradar de nós, ele nos porá nesta terra, e a entregará a nós; terra que flui leite e mel.
9 So do not rebel against Yahweh! And do not be afraid of the people in that land! We will (gobble them up/completely destroy them) [MET]! They do not have anyone who will protect them, but Yahweh will be with us [and help us]. So do not be afraid of them!”
Portanto, não sejais rebeldes contra o SENHOR, nem temais ao povo desta terra, porque nosso pão são: seu amparo se afastou deles, e conosco está o SENHOR: não os temais.
10 Then all the Israeli people talked about [killing Caleb and Joshua by] throwing stones at them. But [suddenly] Yahweh’s glory appeared to them at the Sacred Tent.
Então toda a multidão falou de apedrejá-los com pedras. Mas a glória do SENHOR se mostrou no tabernáculo do testemunho a todos os filhos de Israel.
11 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “How long will these people reject me [RHQ]? I am tired of them not believing in what I [can do], in spite of all the miracles I have performed among them [RHQ]!
E o SENHOR disse a Moisés: Até quando me há de irritar este povo? até quando não me há de crer com todos os sinais que fiz em meio deles?
12 So I will cause a (plague/widespread sickness) to strike them and get rid of them. But I will cause your [descendants] to become a great nation. They will be a nation that is much greater and stronger than these people are.”
Eu lhe ferirei de mortandade, e o destruirei, e a ti te porei sobre gente grande e mais forte que eles.
13 But Moses/I replied to Yahweh, “[Please do not do that, because] the people of Egypt will hear about it! You brought these Israeli people from Egypt by your great power,
E Moisés respondeu ao SENHOR: Logo os egípcios o ouvirão, porque do meio deles tiraste a este povo com tua força:
14 and the people of Egypt will tell that to the [descendants of Canaan] who live in this land. Yahweh, they have already heard about you. They know that you have (been with/helped) these people and that they have seen you face-to-face. They have heard that your cloud is like a huge pillar that stays over them, and by using that cloud you lead them during the day, and the cloud becomes like a fire at night [to give them light].
E o dirão aos habitantes desta terra; os quais ouviram que tu, ó SENHOR, estavas em meio deste povo, que olho a olho aparecias tu, ó SENHOR, e que tua nuvem estava sobre eles, e que de dia ias diante deles em coluna de nuvem, e de noite em coluna de fogo.
15 If you kill these people all at one time, the people-groups who have heard about your [power] will say,
E que fizeste morrer a este povo como a um homem: e as nações que houverem ouvido tua fama falarão, dizendo:
16 ‘Yahweh was not able to bring them into the land that he promised to give to them, so he killed them in the desert.’
Porque não pôde o SENHOR meter este povo na terra da qual lhes havia jurado, os matou no deserto.
17 “So Yahweh, now show that you are very powerful. You said,
Agora, pois, eu te rogo que seja engrandecida a força do Senhor, como o falaste, dizendo:
18 ‘I do not quickly become angry; instead, I love people very much, and I forgive people for having sinned and having disobeyed my laws. But I will always punish [LIT] people who are guilty of doing what is wrong. When parents sin, I will punish them, but I will also punish their children and their grandchildren and their great-grandchildren and their great-great-grandchildren.’
O SENHOR, tardio de ira e grande em misericórdia, que perdoa a iniquidade e a rebelião, e deixa impune o culpado; que visita a maldade dos pais sobre os filhos até a terceira geração e até a quarta.
19 So, because you love people like that, forgive these people for the sins that they have committed, just like you have continued to forgive them ever since they left Egypt.”
Perdoa agora a iniquidade deste povo segundo a grandeza de tua misericórdia, e como perdoaste a este povo desde Egito até aqui.
20 Then Yahweh replied, “I have forgiven them, as you requested me to.
Então o SENHOR disse: Eu o perdoei conforme tu dito:
21 But, just as certainly as I live and that people all over the world [can see] my (glory/glorious power), [I solemnly declare this: ]
Mas, certamente vivo eu e minha glória inche toda a terra,
22 All these people saw my glory and all the miracles that I performed in Egypt and in the desert, but they disobeyed me, and many times they tested [whether they could continue to do evil things without my punishing them].
Que todos os que viram minha glória e meus sinais que fiz no Egito e no deserto, e me tentaram já dez vezes, e não ouviram minha voz,
23 Because of that, not one of them will see the land that I promised their ancestors [that I would give to them]. No one who rejected me will see that land.
Não verão a terra da qual jurei a seus pais: não, nenhum dos que me irritaram a verá.
24 But Caleb, who serves me [well], is different from the others. He obeys me completely. So I will bring him into that land that he has already seen, and his descendants will inherit/possess some of it.
Porém meu servo Calebe, porquanto houve nele outro espírito, e cumpriu de ir após mim, eu o porei na terra onde entrou e sua descendência a receberá em herança.
25 So, since the descendants of Amalek and Canaan who are living in the valleys [in Canaan are very strong], when you leave here tomorrow, [instead of traveling toward Canaan], go back along the road through the desert towards the Red Sea.”
Agora bem, os amalequitas e os cananeus habitam no vale; voltai-vos amanhã, e parti-vos ao deserto, caminho do mar Vermelho.
26 Then Yahweh said to Aaron and Moses/me,
E o SENHOR falou a Moisés e a Arão, dizendo:
27 “How long will the wicked people of this nation keep complaining about me [RHQ]? I have heard everything that they have grumbled/complained against me.
Até quando ouvirei esta depravada multidão que murmura contra mim, as queixas dos filhos de Israel, que de mim se queixam?
28 So now tell them this: ‘Just as certainly as I, Yahweh, live, I will do exactly what you said would happen.
Dize-lhes: Vivo eu, diz o SENHOR, que segundo falastes a meus ouvidos, assim farei eu convosco:
29 [I will cause] all of you to die here in this desert! Because you grumbled about me, none of you who are more than 20 years old and who were counted when Moses counted everyone
Neste deserto cairão vossos corpos; todos vossos contados segundo toda vossa contagem, de vinte anos acima, os quais murmurastes contra mim;
30 will enter the land that I solemnly promised to give to you. Only Caleb and Joshua will enter that land.
Vós à verdade não entrareis na terra, pela qual levantei minha mão de fazer-vos habitar nela; exceto a Calebe filho de Jefoné, e a Josué filho de Num.
31 You said that your children would be taken from you [to become slaves], but I will take them into the land, and they will enjoy living in the land that you (rejected/said that you could not conquer).
Mas vossos meninos, dos quais dissestes que seriam por presa, eu os introduzirei, e eles conhecerão a terra que vós desprezastes.
32 But as for you [adults], you will die here in this desert.
E quanto a vós, vossos corpos cairão neste deserto.
33 And like shepherds [wander around in the desert as they take care of their sheep], your children will wander around in this desert for 40 years. Because you adults were not loyal/faithful to me, your children will suffer until you all die in the desert.
E vossos filhos andarão pastoreando no deserto quarenta anos, e eles levarão vossas prostituições, até que vossos corpos sejam consumidos no deserto.
34 You will suffer for your sins for 40 years. That will be one year for each of the 40 days that the twelve men explored Canaan land. And I will be like an enemy to you.’
Conforme o número dos dias, dos quarenta dias em que reconhecestes a terra, levareis vossas iniquidades quarenta anos, ano por cada dia; e conhecereis meu castigo.
35 [This will certainly happen because] I, Yahweh, have said it! I will do these things to every one in this group who conspired against me. They (conspired against/decided together to reject) me here in the desert, and they will all die right here in this desert!”
Eu sou o SENHOR falei; assim farei a toda esta multidão perversa que se juntou contra mim; neste deserto serão consumidos, e ali morrerão.
36 Then the ten men [who had explored Canaan and] who had urged the people to rebel against Yahweh by giving reports that discouraged the people
E os homens que Moisés enviou para reconhecer a terra, e depois de voltarem, fizeram toda a congregação murmurar contra ele, trazendo um mau relato daquela terra,
37 were immediately struck with a plague/disease that Yahweh sent, and they died.
aqueles homens que haviam falado mal da terra, morreram de praga diante do SENHOR.
38 Of the twelve men who had explored Canaan, only Joshua and Caleb remained alive.
Mas Josué filho de Num, e Calebe filho de Jefoné, restaram com vida dentre aqueles homens que haviam ido a reconhecer a terra.
39 When Moses/I reported to the Israeli people what Yahweh had said, many of them were very sad.
E Moisés disse estas coisas a todos os filhos de Israel, e o povo ficou em muito luto.
40 So the people got up early the next morning and started to go toward the hilly area in Canaan. They said, “[We know that] we have sinned, but now we [are ready to] enter the land that Yahweh promised to give to us.”
E levantaram-se pela manhã, e subiram ao cume do monte, dizendo: Eis-nos aqui para subir ao lugar do qual falou o SENHOR; porque pecamos.
41 But Moses/I said, “Yahweh commanded you [to return to the desert, so] why are you now disobeying him [RHQ]? It will not (succeed/be possible).
E disse Moisés: Por que quebrantais o dito do SENHOR? Isto tampouco vos sucederá bem.
42 Do not try to enter the land now! [If you try], your enemies will defeat you, because Yahweh will not (be with/help) you.
Não subais, porque o SENHOR não está em meio de vós, não sejais feridos diante de vossos inimigos.
43 When you begin to fight the descendants of Amalek and Canaan, they will slaughter you! Yahweh will abandon you, because you have abandoned him.”
Porque os amalequitas e os cananeus estão ali diante de vós, e caireis à espada: pois porquanto vos desviastes de seguir ao SENHOR, por isso não será o SENHOR convosco.
44 But even though Moses/I did not leave the camp, and the sacred chest that contained the Ten Commandments was not taken from the camp, the people began to go towards the hilly area in Canaan.
Todavia, se insistiram em subir por cima do monte: mas a arca da aliança do SENHOR, e Moisés, não se apartaram do meio do acampamento.
45 Then the descendants of Amalek and Canaan who lived in that hilly area came down and attacked them and chased them as far [south] as [the town of] Hormah.
E desceram os amalequitas e os cananeus, que habitavam naquele monte, e os feriram e os derrotaram, perseguindo-os até Hormá.
