< Números 21 >
1 Ouvindo o cananeo, o rei de Harad, que habitava para a banda do sul, que Israel vinha pelo caminho das espias, pelejou contra Israel, e d'elle levou alguns d'elles por prisioneiros.
And the Canaanite, the king of Arad, which dwelt in the South, heard tell that Israel came by the way of Atharim; and he fought against Israel, and took some of them captive.
2 Então Israel fez um voto ao Senhor, dizendo: Se totalmente entregares este povo na minha mão, destruirei totalmente as suas cidades.
And Israel vowed a vow unto the LORD, and said, If thou wilt indeed deliver this people into my hand, then I will utterly destroy their cities.
3 O Senhor pois ouviu a voz de Israel, e entregou os cananeos, e os destruiu totalmente, a elles e ás suas cidades: e o nome d'aquelle logar chamou Horma.
And the LORD hearkened to the voice of Israel, and delivered up the Canaanites; and they utterly destroyed them and their cities: and the name of the place was called Hormah.
4 Então partiram do monte de Hor, pelo caminho do Mar Vermelho, a rodear a terra de Edom: porém a alma do povo angustiou-se n'este caminho.
And they journeyed from mount Hor by the way to the Red Sea, to compass the land of Edom: and the soul of the people was much discouraged because of the way.
5 E o povo fallou contra Deus e contra Moysés: Porque nos fizestes subir do Egypto para que morressemos n'este deserto? pois aqui nem pão nem agua ha: e a nossa alma tem fastio d'este pão tão vil
And the people spake against God, and against Moses, Wherefore have ye brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? for there is no bread, and there is no water; and our soul loatheth this light bread.
6 Então o Senhor mandou entre o povo serpentes ardentes, que morderam o povo; e morreu muito povo de Israel.
And the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died.
7 Pelo que o povo veiu a Moysés, e disse: Havemos peccado, porquanto temos fallado contra o Senhor e contra ti; ora ao Senhor que tire de nós estas serpentes. Então Moysés orou pelo povo.
And the people came to Moses, and said, We have sinned, because we have spoken against the LORD, and against thee; pray unto the LORD, that he take away the serpents from us. And Moses prayed for the people.
8 E disse o Senhor a Moysés: Faze-te uma serpente ardente, e põe-n'a sobre uma haste: e será que viverá todo o mordido que attentar para ella.
And the LORD said unto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a standard: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he seeth it, shall live.
9 E Moysés fez uma serpente de metal, e pôl-a sobre uma haste; e era que, mordendo alguma serpente a alguem, attentava para a serpente de metal, e ficava vivo.
And Moses made a serpent of brass, and set it upon the standard: and it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he looked unto the serpent of brass, he lived.
10 Então os filhos de Israel partiram, e alojaram-se em Oboth.
And the children of Israel journeyed, and pitched in Oboth.
11 Depois partiram de Oboth, e alojaram-se nos outeiros de Abarim, no deserto que está defronte de Moab, ao nascente do sol.
And they journeyed from Oboth, and pitched at Iye-abarim, in the wilderness which is before Moab, toward the sunrising.
12 D'ali partiram, e alojaram-se junto ao ribeiro de Zered.
From thence they journeyed, and pitched in the valley of Zered.
13 E d'ali partiram, e alojaram-se d'esta banda de Arnon, que está no deserto e sae dos termos dos amorrheos: porque Arnon é o termo de Moab, entre Moab e os amorrheos.
From thence they journeyed, and pitched on the other side of Arnon, which is in the wilderness, that cometh out of the border of the Amorites: for Arnon is the border of Moab, between Moab and the Amorites.
14 Pelo que se diz no livro das guerras do Senhor: Contra Vaheb em Supha, e contra os ribeiros de Arnon,
Wherefore it is said in the book of the Wars of the LORD, Vaheb in Suphah, And the valleys of Arnon,
15 E contra a corrente dos ribeiros, que se volve para a situação de Ar, e se encosta aos termos de Moab.
And the slope of the valleys That inclineth toward the dwelling of Ar, And leaneth upon the border of Moab.
16 E d'ali se partiram a Beer; este é o poço do qual o Senhor disse a Moysés: Ajunta o povo, e lhe darei agua
And from thence [they journeyed] to Beer: that is the well whereof the LORD said unto Moses, Gather the people together, and I will give them water.
17 (Então Israel cantou este cantico: Sobe, poço, cantae d'elle:
Then sang Israel this song: Spring up, O well; sing ye unto it:
18 Tu, poço, que cavaram os principes, que escavaram os nobres do povo, e o legislador com os seus bordões): e do deserto partiram para Mattana;
The well, which the princes digged, Which the nobles of the people delved, With the sceptre, [and] with their staves. And from the wilderness [they journeyed] to Mattanah:
19 E de Mattana a Nahaliel, e de Nahaliel a Bamoth;
and from Mattanah to Nahaliel: and from Nahaliel to Bamoth:
20 E de Bamoth ao valle que está no campo de Moab, no cume de Pisga, e á vista do deserto.
and from Bamoth to the valley that is in the field of Moab, to the top of Pisgah, which looketh down upon the desert.
21 Então Israel mandou mensageiros a Sehon, rei dos amorrheos, dizendo:
And Israel sent messengers unto Sihon king of the Amorites, saying,
22 Deixa-me passar pela tua terra; não nos desviaremos pelos campos nem pelas vinhas: as aguas dos poços não beberemos: iremos pela estrada real até que passemos os teus termos.
Let me pass through thy land: we will not turn aside into field, or into vineyard; we will not drink of the water of the wells: we will go by the king’s [high] way, until we have passed thy border.
23 Porem Sehon não deixou passar a Israel pelos seus termos; antes Sehon congregou todo o seu povo, e saiu ao encontro de Israel ao deserto, e veiu a Jazha, e pelejou contra Israel.
And Sihon would not suffer Israel to pass through his border: but Sihon gathered all his people together, and went out against Israel into the wilderness, and came to Jahaz: and he fought against Israel.
24 Mas Israel o feriu ao fio da espada, e tomou a sua terra em possessão, desde Arnon até Jabbok, até aos filhos de Ammon: porquanto o termo dos filhos de Ammon era firme.
And Israel smote him with the edge of the sword, and possessed his land from Arnon unto Jabbok, even unto the children of Ammon: for the border of the children of Ammon was strong.
25 Assim Israel tomou todas estas cidades: e Israel habitou em todas as cidades dos amorrheos, em Hesbon e em todas as suas aldeias.
And Israel took all these cities: and Israel dwelt in all the cities of the Amorites, in Heshbon, and in all the towns thereof.
26 Porque Hesbon era cidade de Sehon, rei dos amorrheos, e tinha pelejado contra o precedente rei dos moabitas, e tinha tomado da sua mão toda a sua terra até Arnon.
For Heshbon was the city of Sihon the king of the Amorites, who had fought against the former king of Moab, and taken all his land out of his hand, even unto Arnon.
27 Pelo que dizem os que fallam em proverbios: Vinde a Hesbon; edifique-se e fortifique-se a cidade de Sehon.
Wherefore they that speak in proverbs say, Come ye to Heshbon, Let the city of Sihon be built and established:
28 Porque fogo saiu de Hesbon, e uma chamma da cidade de Sehon: e consumiu a Ar dos moabitas, e os senhores dos altos de Arnon.
For a fire is gone out of Heshbon, A flame from the city of Sihon: It hath devoured Ar of Moab, The lords of the high places of Arnon.
29 Ai de ti, Moab! perdido és, povo de Chamoz! entregou seus filhos, que iam fugindo, e suas filhas, a ser captivos a Sehon, rei dos amorrheos.
Woe to thee, Moab! Thou art undone, O people of Chemosh: He hath given his sons as fugitives, And his daughters into captivity, Unto Sihon king of the Amorites.
30 E nós os derribámos: Hesbon perdida é até Dibon, e os assolámos até Nophah, que se estende até Medeba
We have shot at them; Heshbon is perished even unto Dibon, And we have laid waste even unto Nophah, Which [reacheth] unto Medeba.
31 Assim Israel habitou na terra dos amorrheos.
Thus Israel dwelt in the land of the Amorites.
32 Depois mandou Moysés espiar a Jaezer, e tomaram as suas aldeias, e d'aquella possessão lançaram os amorrheos que estavam ali.
And Moses sent to spy out Jazer, and they took the towns thereof, and drove out the Amorites that were there.
33 Então viraram-se, e subiram o caminho de Basan: e Og, rei de Basan, saiu contra elles, elle e todo o seu povo, á peleja em Edrei.
And they turned and went up by the way of Bashan: and Og the king of Bashan went out against them, he and all his people, to battle at Edrei.
34 E disse o Senhor a Moysés: Não o temas, porque eu t'o tenho dado na tua mão, a elle, e a todo o seu povo, e a sua terra, e far-lhe-has como fizeste a Sehon, rei dos amorrheos, que habitava em Hesbon.
And the LORD said unto Moses, Fear him not: for I have delivered him into thy hand, and all his people, and his land; and thou shalt do to him as thou didst unto Sihon king of the Amorites, which dwelt at Heshbon.
35 E de tal maneira o feriram, a elle e a seus filhos, e a todo o seu povo, que nenhum d'elles escapou: e tomaram a sua terra em possessão.
So they smote him, and his sons, and all his people, until there was none left him remaining: and they possessed his land.
