Numbers 20
1 In March/April [of the next year], the Israeli people traveled/walked to the Zin Desert and (camped/set up their tents) near Kadesh [town]. While they/we were there, [Moses’/my older sister] Miriam died and was buried there.
Chegando os filhos de Israel, toda a congregação, ao deserto de Zin, no mês primeiro, o povo ficou em Cades: e Miriam morreu ali, e ali foi sepultada.
2 There was no water for the people to drink there, so they came to Aaron and Moses/me.
E não havia água para a congregação: então se congregaram contra Moisés e contra Aarão.
3 They complained and said, “We wish that we had died in front of Yahweh’s Sacred Tent when our fellow Israelis died!
E o povo contendeu com Moisés, e falaram, dizendo: Oxalá tivéssemos expirado quando expiraram nossos irmãos perante o Senhor!
4 (Did you bring us, who are Yahweh’s people, into this desert to die along with our livestock?/You brought us, who are Yahweh’s people, into this desert to die along with our livestock!) [RHQ]
E porque trouxestes a congregação do Senhor a este deserto, para que morramos ali, nós e os nossos animais?
5 Why did you bring us from Egypt to this miserable place [RHQ]? There is no grain, there are no figs, no grapes, and no pomegranates here. And there is no water for us to drink!”
E porque nos fizestes subir do Egito, para nos trazer a este lugar mau? lugar não de semente, nem de figos, nem de vides, nem de romãs, nem d'água para beber.
6 Aaron and Moses/I turned away from the people and went to the entrance of the Sacred Tent and prostrated themselves/ourselves on the ground. Then Yahweh appeared to them/us with his bright glory,
Então Moisés e Aarão se foram de diante da congregação à porta da tenda da congregação, e se lançaram sobre os seus rostos: e a glória do Senhor lhes apareceu.
7 and he said to Moses/me,
E o Senhor falou a Moisés, dizendo:
8 “You and Aaron must take Aaron’s walking stick with you and gather all the people together. While the people are watching, command that water will flow out of that [large] rock over there. Water for the people will flow from it; all they and all their livestock will have enough water to drink.”
Toma a vara, e ajunta a congregação, tu e Aarão, teu irmão, e falai à rocha perante os seus olhos, e dará a sua água: assim lhes tirarás água da rocha, e darás a beber à congregação e aos seus animais.
9 So Moses/I did what Yahweh told him/me to do. He/I took Aaron’s walking stick from the place in the Sacred Tent where it was kept.
Então Moisés tomou a vara de diante do Senhor, como lhe tinha ordenado,
10 Then Aaron and he/I summoned all the people to gather at the rock. Then Moses/I shouted to them, “All you rebellious people, listen! Is it necessary for us to give you water from this rock?”
E Moisés e Aarão congregaram a congregação diante da rocha, e disse-lhes: Ouvi agora, rebeldes, porventura tiraremos água desta rocha para vós
11 Then Moses/I raised his/my hand and [instead of speaking to the rock], he/I struck the rock two times with the walking stick. And water gushed/poured out. So all the people and their livestock drank all the water that they wanted.
Então Moisés levantou a sua mão, e feriu a rocha duas vezes com a sua vara, e sairam muitas águas; e bebeu a congregação e os seus animais.
12 But Yahweh said to Aaron and Moses/me, “You did not believe that I could demonstrate my power to the Israeli people [and give them water without your striking the rock]. So you will not lead them into the land that I am giving to them!”
E o Senhor disse a Moisés e a Aarão: Porquanto não me crestes a mim, para me santificar diante dos filhos de Israel, por isso não metereis esta congregação na terra que lhes tenho dado.
13 Later this place was called Meribah, [which means ‘arguing’], because there the Israeli people argued with Yahweh, and there he showed his power to them [by giving them water].
Estas são as águas de Meribah, porque os filhos de Israel contenderam com o Senhor: e se santificou neles.
14 [While the people were] at Kadesh [town], Moses/I sent messengers to the king of Edom to tell him this: “Your relatives, the Israeli people, are sending you this message. You know the many troubles/hardships that have happened to us.
Depois Moisés desde Cades mandou mensageiros ao rei de Edom, dizendo: Assim diz teu irmão Israel: sabes todo o trabalho que nos sobreveio:
15 You know that our ancestors went down to Egypt. You know that they stayed there for many years. They suffered because the [rulers of] Egypt caused them to become their slaves [and to work very hard].
Como nossos pais desceram ao Egito, e nós no Egito habitamos muitos dias; e como os egípcios nos maltrataram, a nós e a nossos pais:
16 “But when they called out to Yahweh, he heard them and sent an angel who brought them out of Egypt. Now we have set up our tents here at Kadesh, a town at the border of your land.
E clamamos ao Senhor, e ele ouviu a nossa voz, e mandou um anjo, e nos tirou do Egito: e eis que estamos em Cades, cidade na extremidade dos teus termos.
17 Please allow us to travel through your country. We will [be careful to] not walk through your fields and your vineyards. We will not even drink water from your wells. As we travel, we will stay on the king’s highway, [the main road that goes from the south to the north], and we will not leave that road until we have crossed the border [of your country in the north].”
Deixa-nos pois passar pela tua terra; não passaremos pelo campo, nem pelas vinhas, nem beberemos a água dos poços: iremos pela estrada real; não nos desviaremos para a direita nem para a esquerda, até que passemos pelos teus termos.
18 But the king of Edom refused. He replied, “Stay out of my country! If you try [to enter it], I will [send my army to] attack you!”
Porém Edom lhe disse: Não passarás por mim, para que porventura eu não saia à espada ao teu encontro.
19 The Israeli messengers replied, “[If we travel through your country], we will stay on the main road. If we and any of our livestock drink any of your water, we will pay for it. We want only to travel through your country. We do not want anything else.”
Então os filhos de Israel lhe disseram: Subiremos pelo caminho igualado, e se eu e o meu gado bebermos das tuas águas, darei o preço delas: sem alguma outra coisa somente passarei a pé
20 But the king replied, “No! Stay out of our country! We will not [allow you] to travel through our land!” Then he sent the strongest soldiers in his army to prevent the Israelis [from entering his country].
Porém ele disse: Não passarás. E saiu-lhe Edom ao encontro com muita gente, e com mão forte.
21 So, because [the king of] Edom refused to allow the Israelis to travel through his country, the Israelis turned [and traveled a different way].
Assim recusou Edom deixar passar a Israel pelo seu termo: pelo que Israel se desviou dele.
22 The Israeli people left Kadesh. They went to Hor Mountain,
Então partiram de Cades: e os filhos de Israel, toda a congregação, vieram ao monte de Hor.
23 [which is at the border of Edom]. While they were there, Yahweh said to Aaron and Moses/me,
E falou o Senhor a Moisés e a Aarão no monte de Hor, nos termos da terra de Edom, dizendo:
24 “It is time for Aaron to die [EUP]. He will not enter the land that I am giving to you Israelis, because the two of you disobeyed me [when I told you to speak to the rock to cause] the water [to flow] at Meribah.
Aarão recolhido será a seus povos, porque não entrará na terra que tenho dado aos filhos de Israel, porquanto rebeldes fostes à minha boca, às águas de Meribah.
25 Now you, Moses, take Aaron and his son Eleazar up on Hor Mountain.
Toma a Aarão e a Eleazar, seu filho, e faze-os subir ao monte de Hor.
26 There you must remove Aaron’s robes [that he wears when he does the work of a priest], and put them on his son, Eleazar. Aaron will die up there.”
E despe a Aarão os seus vestidos, e veste-os a Eleazar, seu filho, porque Aarão será recolhido, e morrerá ali
27 So Moses/I did what Yahweh commanded. The three of them/us climbed up Hor Mountain, while all the Israeli people watched.
Fez pois Moisés como o Senhor lhe ordenara: porque subiram ao monte de Hor perante os olhos de toda a congregação.
28 At the top of the mountain, Moses/I took off the robes that Aaron wore [while he did the work of a priest] and put them on Eleazar. Then Aaron died there on the top of the mountain, and Eleazar and Moses/I went back down.
E Moisés despiu a Aarão os vestidos, e os vestiu a Eleazar, seu filho; e morreu Aarão ali sobre o cume do monte; e desceram Moisés e Eleazar do monte.
29 When the Israeli people realized that Aaron had died, they all mourned for him for 30 days.
Vendo pois toda a congregação que Aarão era morto, choraram a Aarão trinta dias, toda a casa de Israel.
