< Números 20 >
1 Chegando os filhos d'Israel, toda a congregação, ao deserto de Zin, no mez primeiro, o povo ficou em Cades: e Miriam morreu ali, e ali foi sepultada.
Then came the children of Israel, even the whole congregation, into the desert of Zin in the first month: and the people abode in Kadesh; and Miriam died there, and was buried there.
2 E não havia agua para a congregação: então se congregaram contra Moysés e contra Aarão.
And there was no water for the congregation: and they gathered themselves together against Moses and against Aaron.
3 E o povo contendeu com Moysés, e fallaram, dizendo: Oxalá tivessemos expirado quando expiraram nossos irmãos perante o Senhor!
And the people strove with Moses, and spoke, saying, O that we had died when our brethren died before the LORD!
4 E porque trouxestes a congregação do Senhor a este deserto, para que morramos ali, nós e os nossos animaes?
And why have ye brought the congregation of the LORD into this wilderness, that we and our cattle should die there?
5 E porque nos fizestes subir do Egypto, para nos trazer a este logar máu? logar não de semente, nem de figos, nem de vides, nem de romãs, nem d'agua para beber.
And why have ye made us come up from Egypt, to bring us to this evil place? it is no place of seed, or of figs, or of vines, or of pomegranates; neither is there any water to drink.
6 Então Moysés e Aarão se foram de diante da congregação á porta da tenda da congregação, e se lançaram sobre os seus rostos: e a gloria do Senhor lhes appareceu.
And Moses and Aaron went from the presence of the assembly to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and they fell upon their faces: and the glory of the LORD appeared to them.
7 E o Senhor fallou a Moysés, dizendo:
And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
8 Toma a vara, e ajunta a congregação, tu e Aarão, teu irmão, e fallae á rocha perante os seus olhos, e dará a sua agua: assim lhes tirarás agua da rocha, e darás a beber á congregação e aos seus animaes.
Take the rod, and gather thou the assembly together, thou, and Aaron thy brother, and speak ye to the rock before their eyes; and it shall give forth its water, and thou shalt bring forth to them water out of the rock: so thou shalt give water to the congregation and their beasts.
9 Então Moysés tomou a vara de diante do Senhor, como lhe tinha ordenado,
And Moses took the rod from before the LORD, as he commanded him.
10 E Moysés e Aarão congregaram a congregação diante da rocha, e disse-lhes: Ouvi agora, rebeldes, porventura tiraremos agua d'esta rocha para vós
And Moses and Aaron gathered the congregation together before the rock, and he said to them, Hear now, ye rebels; must we fetch you water out of this rock?
11 Então Moysés levantou a sua mão, e feriu a rocha duas vezes com a sua vara, e sairam muitas aguas; e bebeu a congregação e os seus animaes.
And Moses lifted up his hand, and with his rod he smote the rock twice: and the water came out abundantly, and the congregation drank, and their beasts also.
12 E o Senhor disse a Moysés e a Aarão: Porquanto não me crestes a mim, para me sanctificar diante dos filhos de Israel, por isso não mettereis esta congregação na terra que lhes tenho dado.
And the LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron, Because ye believed me not, to sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore ye shall not bring this congregation into the land which I have given them.
13 Estas são as aguas de Meribah, porque os filhos de Israel contenderam com o Senhor: e se sanctificou n'elles.
This is the water of Meribah; because the children of Israel strove with the LORD, and he was sanctified in them.
14 Depois Moysés desde Cades mandou mensageiros ao rei d'Edom, dizendo: Assim diz teu irmão Israel: sabes todo o trabalho que nos sobreveiu:
And Moses sent messengers from Kadesh to the king of Edom, Thus saith thy brother Israel, Thou knowest all the travail that hath befallen us:
15 Como nossos paes desceram ao Egypto, e nós no Egypto habitámos muitos dias; e como os egypcios nos maltrataram, a nós e a nossos paes:
How our fathers went down into Egypt, and we have dwelt in Egypt a long time; and the Egyptians afflicted us, and our fathers:
16 E clamámos ao Senhor, e elle ouviu a nossa voz, e mandou um anjo, e nos tirou do Egypto: e eis que estamos em Cades, cidade na extremidade dos teus termos.
And when we cried to the LORD, he heard our voice, and sent an angel, and hath brought us forth from Egypt: and, behold, we are in Kadesh, a city in the uttermost of thy border:
17 Deixa-nos pois passar pela tua terra; não passaremos pelo campo, nem pelas vinhas, nem beberemos a agua dos poços: iremos pela estrada real; não nos desviaremos para a direita nem para a esquerda, até que passemos pelos teus termos.
Let us pass, I pray thee, through thy country: we will not pass through the fields, or through the vineyards, neither will we drink of the water of the wells: we will go by the king’s highway, we will not turn to the right hand nor to the left, until we have passed thy borders.
18 Porém Edom lhe disse: Não passarás por mim, para que porventura eu não saia á espada ao teu encontro.
And Edom said to him, Thou shalt not pass by me, lest I come out against thee with the sword.
19 Então os filhos d'Israel lhe disseram: Subiremos pelo caminho egualado, e se eu e o meu gado bebermos das tuas aguas, darei o preço d'ellas: sem alguma outra coisa sómente passarei a pé
And the children of Israel said to him, We will go by the highway: and if I and my cattle drink of thy water, then I will pay for it: I will only, without doing any thing else, go through on my feet.
20 Porém elle disse: Não passarás. E saiu-lhe Edom ao encontro com muita gente, e com mão forte.
And he said, Thou shalt not go through. And Edom came out against him with many people, and with a strong hand.
21 Assim recusou Edom deixar passar a Israel pelo seu termo: pelo que Israel se desviou d'elle.
Thus Edom refused to give Israel passage through his border: therefore Israel turned away from him.
22 Então partiram de Cades: e os filhos de Israel, toda a congregação, vieram ao monte de Hor.
And the children of Israel, even the whole congregation, journeyed from Kadesh, and came to mount Hor.
23 E fallou o Senhor a Moysés e a Aarão no monte de Hor, nos termos da terra de Edom, dizendo:
And the LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron in mount Hor, by the border of the land of Edom, saying,
24 Aarão recolhido será a seus povos, porque não entrará na terra que tenho dado aos filhos de Israel, porquanto rebeldes fostes á minha bocca, ás aguas de Meribah.
Aaron shall be gathered to his people: for he shall not enter into the land which I have given to the children of Israel, because ye rebelled against my word at the water of Meribah.
25 Toma a Aarão e a Eleazar, seu filho, e faze-os subir ao monte de Hor.
Take Aaron and Eleazar his son, and bring them up to mount Hor:
26 E despe a Aarão os seus vestidos, e veste-os a Eleazar, seu filho, porque Aarão será recolhido, e morrerá ali
And strip Aaron of his garments, and put them upon Eleazar his son: and Aaron shall be gathered to his people, and shall die there.
27 Fez pois Moysés como o Senhor lhe ordenara: porque subiram ao monte de Hor perante os olhos de toda a congregação.
And Moses did as the LORD commanded: and they went up to mount Hor in the sight of all the congregation.
28 E Moysés despiu a Aarão os vestidos, e os vestiu a Eleazar, seu filho; e morreu Aarão ali sobre o cume do monte; e desceram Moysés e Eleazar do monte.
And Moses stripped Aaron of his garments, and put them upon Eleazar his son; and Aaron died there on the top of the mount: and Moses and Eleazar came down from the mount.
29 Vendo pois toda a congregação que Aarão era morto, choraram a Aarão trinta dias, toda a casa de Israel.
And when all the congregation saw that Aaron was dead, they mourned for Aaron thirty days, even all the house of Israel.
