Numbers 32
1 The people of the tribes of Reuben and Gad had much livestock. They saw that the land near Jazer [city] and the Gilead [region east of the Jordan River] had good [grass] for the animals [to graze on].
E os filhos de Ruben e os filhos de Gad tinham muito gado em grande multidão; e viram a terra de Jaezer, e a terra de Gilead, e eis que o lugar era lugar de gado.
2 So their leaders came to Eleazar and the other leaders of the people and Moses/me. They said,
Vieram pois os filhos de Gad e os filhos de Ruben, e falaram a Moisés e a Eleazar, o sacerdote, e aos maiorais da congregação, dizendo:
3 “We have a great amount of livestock.
Ataroth, e Dibon, e Jaezer, e Nimra, e Hesbon, e Eleal, e Schebam, e Nebo, e Behon;
4 Yahweh has enabled us Israelis to capture some land that is very good for animals [to graze on]—the land near Ataroth, Dibon, Jazer, Nimrah, Heshbon, Elealeh, Sebam, Nebo, and Beon [towns].
A terra que o Senhor feriu diante da congregação de Israel, é terra de gado: e os teus servos tem gado.
5 If it pleases you, we would like this land to be ours, instead of land on the other side of the Jordan River.”
Disseram mais: Se achamos graça aos teus olhos, dê-se esta terra aos teus servos em possessão; e não nos faças passar o Jordão.
6 Moses/I replied to the leaders of the tribes of Gad and Reuben, “It is not right for [RHQ] your fellow Israelis to go to fight in wars and you stay here!
Porém Moisés disse aos filhos de Gad e aos filhos de Ruben: Irão vossos irmãos à peleja, e ficareis vós aqui?
7 [If you do that], you will cause the other Israelis to be discouraged, with the result that they will not cross [the Jordan River] to the land that Yahweh is giving to them [RHQ].
Porque pois descorajais o coração dos filhos de Israel, para que não passem à terra que o Senhor lhes tem dado?
8 Your ancestors did the same kind of thing. I sent them from Kadesh-Barnea to see what the land [of Canaan] was like.
Assim fizeram vossos pais, quando os mandei de Cades-barnea, a ver esta terra.
9 They went as far as Eshcol Valley, but when they saw [the huge people in] the land, [they returned and] caused the Israeli people to be discouraged, saying ‘We should not try to enter the land that Yahweh said that he is giving to us.’
Chegando eles até ao vale de Escol, e vendo esta terra, descorajaram o coração dos filhos de Israel, para que não viessem à terra que o Senhor lhes tinha dado
10 So Yahweh became very angry with them, and he solemnly declared this:
Então a ira do Senhor se acendeu naquele mesmo dia, e jurou, dizendo:
11 ‘From all the people who came out of Egypt, the only ones who are at least 20 years old who will see the land that I promised to give to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, are Jephunneh’s son Caleb and Nun’s son Joshua, because they trusted me completely. None of the other people who came out of Egypt will even see that land, because they have not completely believed in my [power].’
Que os varões, que subiram do Egito, de vinte anos e para cima não verão a terra que jurei a Abraão, a Isaac, e a Jacob porquanto não perseveraram em seguir-me;
Exceto Caleb, filho de Jefoné o kenezeu, e Josué filho de Nun, porquanto perseveraram em seguir ao Senhor.
13 So Yahweh was angry with the Israeli people, and [as a result] he has caused us to wander in this desert for 40 years. Finally, all the people who had sinned against Yahweh [by refusing to trust him] died, [one by one].
Assim se acendeu a ira do Senhor contra Israel, e fê-los andar errantes até que se consumiu toda aquela geração, que fizera mal aos olhos do Senhor.
14 And you are acting like your ancestors did! You sinful Israeli people are going to cause Yahweh to be more angry with you [than he was with our ancestors]
E eis que vós, uma multidão de homens pecadores, vos levantastes em lugar de vossos pais, para ainda mais acrescentar o furor da ira do Senhor contra Israel.
15 If you stop trusting him, he will cause you and all your fellow Israelis to stay longer in the desert, and he will get rid of all of you!”
Se vós vos virardes de segui-lo, também ele os deixará de novo no deserto, e destruireis a todo este povo.
16 Then the [leaders of the tribes of Reuben and Gad] said to Moses/me, “First we will build pens for our animals and build cities for our families here.
Então chegaram-se a ele, e disseram: Edificaremos currais aqui para o nosso gado, e cidades para as nossas crianças;
17 Then our families will live in strong cities with walls around them, and they will be safe from the people who live in this land. Then we will get ready to fight battles. We will help the other Israelis to get land [on the other side of the river].
Porém nós nos armaremos, apressando-nos diante dos de Israel, até que os levemos ao seu lugar: e ficarão as nossas crianças nas cidades fortes por causa dos moradores da terra.
18 We will not return to our homes until every Israeli has received some land.
Não voltaremos para nossas casas, até que os filhos de Israel estejam de posse cada um da sua herança.
19 We will not take any land on the west side of the Jordan [River]; our land will be here on the east side.”
Porque não herdaremos com eles de além do Jordão, nem mais adiante; porquanto nós já teremos a nossa herança de aquém do Jordão ao oriente
20 So Moses/I told them, “[Okay, I will tell you] what you all must do. You must get ready to fight battles for Yahweh.
Então Moisés lhes disse: Se isto fizerdes assim, se vos armardes à guerra perante o Senhor;
21 You all must cross the Jordan [River] carrying your weapons.
E cada um de vós, armado, passar o Jordão perante o Senhor, até que haja lançado fora os seus inimigos de diante dele;
22 After Yahweh helps us to take that land [from the people who live there], you will be permitted to return to your homes. You will have done what you have promised Yahweh and the Israeli people that you would do, and you may keep this land to be your own, given to you by Yahweh.
E a terra esteja subjugada perante o Senhor; então voltareis depois, e ficareis desculpados perante o Senhor e perante Israel: e esta terra vos será por possessão perante o Senhor:
23 “But if you do not do these things, you will be sinning against Yahweh, and he will punish you for [that] sin.
E se não fizerdes assim, eis que pecastes contra o Senhor: porém sentireis o vosso pecado, quando vos achar.
24 Now you can build cities for your families and pens for your animals, but after doing that, you must do what you have promised.”
Edificai vós cidades para as vossas crianças, e currais para as vossas ovelhas; e fazei o que saiu da vossa boca.
25 The leaders of the tribes of Gad and Reuben replied, “We will do what you have asked us to do [MTY], because you are our leader.
Então falaram os filhos de Gad, e os filhos de Ruben a Moisés, dizendo: Como ordena meu senhor, assim farão teus servos.
26 Our wives and children and our cattle and sheep and goats will stay here in the cities in the Gilead area,
As nossas crianças, as nossas mulheres, a nossa fazenda, e todos os nossos animais estarão ai nas cidades de Gilead.
27 but we will prepare to go to battle. We will take our weapons and go across [the Jordan River] and fight for Yahweh, just as you, our leader, have said.”
Mas os teus servos passarão, cada um armado para pelejar para a guerra, perante o Senhor, como tem dito meu senhor.
28 So Moses/I gave instructions about them to Eleazar, Joshua, and the leaders of the Israeli tribes.
Então Moisés deu ordem acerca deles a Eleazar, o sacerdote, e a Josué filho de Nun, e aos Cabeças das casas dos pais das tribos dos filhos de Israel;
29 Moses/I said to them, “If the men from the tribes of Gad and Reuben prepare for battle and cross the Jordan [River] with you, in order to do what Yahweh desires and help you to take that land, give them the Gilead area to belong to them.
E disse-lhes Moisés: Se os filhos de Gad, e os filhos de Ruben passarem convosco o Jordão, armado cada um para a guerra perante o Senhor; e a terra estiver subjugada diante de vós, em possessão lhes dareis a terra de Gilead;
30 But if they do not take their weapons and go with you prepared to fight, they will not receive this land. They will need to accept some land in Canaan, like the rest of you will do.”
Porém se não passarem, armados, convosco, então se porão por possuidores no meio de vós na terra de Canaan.
31 The [leaders of the tribes of Gad and Reuben] replied, “We will do what you have said and what Yahweh has said.
E responderam os filhos de Gad e os filhos de Ruben, dizendo: O que o Senhor falou a teus servos, isso faremos.
32 We will cross the river into Canaan land, and we will do what Yahweh desires and be prepared for battle. But our land will be [here] on the east side of the Jordan [River].”
Nós passaremos, armados, perante o Senhor à terra de Canaan, e teremos a possessão de nossa herança de aquém do Jordão.
33 So Moses/I agreed to give that land to the tribes of Gad and Reuben and to half of the tribe of Joseph’s son Manasseh. That land was previously the land where Sihon, the king of the Amor people-group, ruled, and the land where Og, the king of Bashan [region], ruled, including its cities and surrounding land.
Assim deu-lhes Moisés, aos filhos de Gad, e aos filhos de Ruben, e à meia tribo de Manasseh, filho de José, o reino de Sehon, rei dos amorreus, e o reino de Og, rei de Basan: a terra com as suas cidades nos seus termos, as cidades do seu contorno.
34 The people of the tribe of Gad rebuilt Dibon, Ataroth, Aroer,
E os filhos de Gad edificaram a Dibon, e Ataroth, e Aroer;
35 Atroth-Shophan, Jazer, Jogbehah,
E Atroth-sophan, e Jaezer, e Jogbeha;
36 Beth-Nimrah, and Beth-Haran cities. Those were cities with strong walls around them. And they also built pens for their sheep.
E Beth-nimra, e Bethharan, cidades fortes; e currais de ovelhas.
37 The people of the tribe of Reuben rebuilt Heshbon, Elealeh, Kiriathaim,
E os filhos de Ruben edificaram a Hesbon, e Eleal, as e Quiriathaim;
38 Nebo, Baal-Meon, and Sibmah cities. When they rebuilt Nebo and Baal-Meon, they gave new names to those cities.
E Nebo, e Baal-meon, mudando-lhes o nome, e Sibma: e os nomes das cidades que edificaram chamaram por outros nomes.
39 The descendants of Manasseh’s son Makir went to the Gilead [region] and compelled the people of the Amor people-group to leave that area.
E os filhos de Machir, filho de Manasseh, foram-se para Gilead, e a tomaram: e daquela possessão lançaram os amorreus, que estavam nela.
40 So Moses/I gave Gilead to the family of Makir, and they started to live there.
Assim Moisés deu Gilead a Machir, filho de Manasseh, o qual habitou nela.
41 Jair, who was also a descendant of Manasseh, went and captured the small towns in that region, and he named them the Towns of Jair.
E foi-se Jair, filho de Manasseh, e tomou as suas aldeias; e chamou-as Havot-jair.
42 A man named Nobah went and captured Kenath [city] and the nearby towns, and then he put his own name to be the new name of that area.
E foi-se Nobah, e tomou a Quenath com as suas aldeias; e chamou-a Nobah, segundo o seu nome.
