Deuteronômio 2
1 Depois virámo-nos, e caminhámos ao deserto, caminho do Mar Vermelho, como o Senhor me tinha dito, e muitos dias rodeámos a montanha de Seir.
“Then we turned around and went through the desert toward the (Red Sea/Gulf of Aqaba), as Yahweh told us to do, and we wandered in the Edom area for many years.
2 Então o Senhor me fallou, dizendo:
Then Yahweh said to me,
3 Assás tendes rodeado esta montanha: virae-vos para o norte.
‘You have been wandering around this hilly area for a long enough time. Now turn [and travel] toward the north.
4 E dá ordem ao povo, dizendo: Passareis pelos termos de vossos irmãos, os filhos de Esaú, que habitam em Seir: e elles terão medo de vós; porém guardae-vos bem,
And tell the people that they are about to travel near the land that belongs to the descendants of Esau, who are also descendants of Isaac. They live in the [hilly] Edom region. They will be afraid of you,
5 Não vos entremettaes com elles, porque vos não darei da sua terra nem ainda a pisada da planta de um pé: porquanto a Esaú tenho dado a montanha de Seir por herança.
but do not start to fight against them, because I am not going to give you even a tiny bit [HYP] of their land. I have given that land to the descendants of Esau.
6 Comprareis d'elles, por dinheiro, comida para comerdes: e tambem agua para beber d'elles comprareis por dinheiro.
[When you travel near their land], buy food and water from them.’
7 Pois o Senhor teu Deus te abençoou em toda a obra das tuas mãos; elle sabe que andas por este grande deserto: estes quarenta annos o Senhor teu Deus esteve comtigo, coisa nenhuma te faltou.
Do not forget that Yahweh our God has blessed you in everything that you [SYN] have done. He knows [what has happened to you while] you have wandered in this huge desert. But he has been with you during those 40 years, and as a result you have had everything that you needed [LIT].
8 Passando pois de nossos irmãos, os filhos de Esaú, que habitavam em Seir, desde o caminho da planicie de Elath e de Ezeon-geber, nos virámos e passámos o caminho do deserto de Moab.
So we continued to travel. We avoided going through the hilly area where the descendants of Esau live. We stayed away from the road through the Jordan [River] Valley past Ezion-Geber and Elath [towns], and we turned and traveled northeast toward the desert area where the Moab people-group lives.
9 Então o Senhor me disse: Não molestes a Moab, e não contendas com elles em peleja, porque te não darei herança da sua terra; porquanto tenho dado a Ar aos filhos de Lot por herança.
Yahweh said to me, ‘Do not bother/harass the people of Moab, and do not start to fight against them, because I am not going to give you any of their land. [Do not forget that] they are descendants of [Abraham’s nephew] Lot, and I have given to them Ar [city, their capital, and the other areas in that country].’”
10 (Os emeos d'antes habitaram n'ella: um povo grande e numeroso, e alto como os gigantes;
A large group of giants called Emim formerly lived there. They were strong and numerous, and as tall as the giants who were descendants of Anak.
11 Tambem estes foram contados por gigantes como os enaquins: e os moabitas os chamavam emeos.
They and the descendants of Anak are also called the Repha giants, but the people of Moab call them Emim.
12 D'antes os horeos tambem habitaram em Seir: porém os filhos de Esaú os lançaram fóra, e os destruiram de diante de si, e habitaram no seu logar, assim como Israel fez á terra da sua herança, que o Senhor lhes tinha dado.
The Hor people-group also formerly lived in the Edom area, but the descendants of Esau chased them out. They defeated and killed them and (settled in/occupied) their land, just as the Israeli people later expelled their enemies from the land that Yahweh gave to them.
13 Levantae-vos agora, e passae o ribeiro de Zered: assim passámos o ribeiro de Zered.
[I also said to the Israeli people], “Then we crossed the Zered Gorge, as Yahweh told us to do.
14 E os dias que caminhámos, desde Cades-barnea até que passámos o ribeiro de Zered, foram trinta e oito annos, até que toda aquella geração dos homens de guerra se consumiu do meio do arraial, como o Senhor lhes jurara.
It had been thirty-eight years from the time we first left Kadesh-Barnea until we crossed the Zered Gorge. During those years, all the Israeli (fighting men/soldiers) of that generation had died, as Yahweh had vowed would happen.
15 Assim tambem foi contra elles a mão do Senhor, para os destruir do meio do arraial até os haver consumido.
They died because Yahweh opposed them, until he had gotten rid of all of them.
16 E succedeu que, sendo já consumidos todos os homens de guerra, pela morte, do meio do arraial.
After all the men who had been old enough to fight in wars had died [DOU],
17 O Senhor me fallou, dizendo:
Yahweh said to me,
18 Hoje passarás a Ar, pelos termos de Moab;
‘Today you all must cross the border into the Moab region, near Ar, [their capital city].
19 E te chegarás até defronte dos filhos de Ammon: não os molestes, e com elles não contendas: porque da terra dos filhos de Ammon te não darei herança, porquanto aos filhos de Lot a tenho dado por herança.
When you come near the border of the land where the Ammon people-group live, do not bother/harass them or start to fight against them. They are also descendants of Lot, so I am not going to give you any of the land that I have given to them.’”
20 (Tambem esta foi contada por terra de gigantes; d'antes n'ella habitavam gigantes, e os ammonitas os chamavam zamzummeos:
That region is also called the land of the Repha giants, who formerly lived there. The Ammon people-group call them the Zamzum group.
21 Um povo grande, e numeroso, e alto, como os gigantes: e o Senhor os destruiu de diante de si, e elles os lançaram fóra, e habitaram no seu logar;
They were a large and powerful group, who were as tall as the descendants of Anak. But Yahweh got rid of them, and the Ammon people-group expelled them and took their land away from them and started to live there.
22 Assim como fez com os filhos d'Esaú, que habitavam em Seir, de diante dos quaes destruiu os horeos, e elles os lançaram fóra, e habitaram no seu logar até este dia
Yahweh had done the same thing for the descendants of Esau who live in the hilly area of Edom. He got rid of the Hor people-group, with the result that the Edom people-group took their land from them and started to live there. They still live there.
23 Tambem os caftoreos, que sairam de Caftor, destruiram os aveos, que habitavam em Kazerim até Gaza, e habitaram no seu logar).
People who came from Crete [Island] got rid of the Av group [who previously lived in the land close to the Mediterranean Sea], as far south as Gaza. They took their land from them and started to live there.
24 Levantae-vos, parti e passae o ribeiro d'Arnon; eis-aqui na tua mão tenho dado a Sehon, amorrheo, rei de Hesbon, e a sua terra; começa a possuil-a, e contende com elles em peleja.
“[After we had gone through the Moab region], Yahweh said to us, ‘Now cross the Arnon [River]. I will help you to defeat [IDM] [the army of] Sihon, the king of the Amor people-group, who lives in Heshbon [city]. So attack their army and start to take their land from them.
25 N'este dia começarei a pôr um terror e um temor de ti diante dos povos que estão debaixo de todo o céu: os que ouvirem a tua fama tremerão diante de ti e se angustiarão.
Today I will begin to cause everyone, everywhere, to be afraid of you. Everyone who hears about you will tremble and be terrified.’
26 Então mandei mensageiros desde o deserto de Quedemoth a Sehon, rei de Hesbon, com palavras de paz, dizendo:
Then I sent messengers to go from the desert to King Sihon at Heshbon. I told them to give this peaceful message to the king:
27 Deixa-me passar pela tua terra: sómente pela estrada irei; não me desviarei para a direita nem para a esquerda.
‘Please allow us to travel through your land. We [promise that we] will stay on the road; we will not turn off to the right or to the left.
28 A comida que eu coma vender-m'a-has por dinheiro, e dar-me-has por dinheiro a agua que beba: tão sómente deixa-me passar a pé;
We will pay for any food or water that you allow us to buy. We want only to walk through your country,
29 Como fizeram comigo os filhos d'Esaú, que habitam em Seir, e os moabitas que habitam em Ar: até que eu passe o Jordão, a terra que o Senhor nosso Deus nos ha de dar.
until we cross the Jordan [River] into the land that Yahweh our God is giving to us. Do for us just as the descendants of Esau who live in the Edom area and the Moab people-group did for us when they allowed us to go through their areas.’
30 Mas Sehon, rei de Hesbon, não nos quiz deixar passar por si, porquanto o Senhor teu Deus endurecera o seu espirito, e fizera obstinado o seu coração, por t'o dar na tua mão, como n'este dia se vê.
But King Sihon would not allow us to go through his country. That was because Yahweh our God caused him to be stubborn [IDM]. The result was that Yahweh enabled us to defeat his army and take his land [IDM], which we still live in.
31 E o Senhor me disse: Eis-aqui, tenho começado a dar-te Sehon, e a sua terra diante de ti: começa pois a possuil-a, para que herdes a sua terra.
Yahweh said to me, ‘Listen! I am about to allow you to defeat Sihon’s [army] and to take the people’s land from them. So start to occupy it!’
32 E Sehon saiu-nos ao encontro, elle e todo o seu povo, á peleja, a Jahaz:
Then Sihon came out [of the city] with all his army to fight against us at Jahaz [town].
33 E o Senhor nosso Deus nol-o deu diante de nós, e o ferimos a elle, e a seus filhos, e a todo o seu povo.
But God enabled us to defeat [DOU] them, and we killed Sihon and his sons and all his soldiers.
34 E n'aquelle tempo tomámos todas as suas cidades, e destruimos todas as cidades, homens, e mulheres e creanças: não deixámos a ninguem.
We captured all their cities and destroyed them all. We killed all the men and women and children; we did not allow any of them to remain alive.
35 Sómente tomámos em presa o gado para nós, e o despojo das cidades que tinhamos tomado.
We took the valuable things that were in the cities that we captured and also their cattle.
36 Desde Aroer, que está á borda do ribeiro d'Arnon, e a cidade que está junto ao ribeiro, até Gilead, nenhuma cidade houve que de nós escapasse: tudo isto o Senhor nosso Deus nos entregou diante de nós.
Yahweh our God enabled us to capture [IDM] all their towns from Aroer [in the south], which is at the edge of the Arnon River [Valley], to the Gilead [region in the north]. Some of their cities had [walls around them], but we were able to [climb over them].
37 Sómente á terra dos filhos de Ammon não chegaste: nem a toda a borda do ribeiro de Jabbok, nem ás cidades da montanha, nem a coisa alguma que nos prohibira o Senhor nosso Deus.
But we did not go near the area where the Ammon people-group live, or the banks of the Jabbok riverbed, or the towns in the hilly area, or any other place where Yahweh our God told us not to go.”
