Números 20
1 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.
And the sons of Israel, and the entire multitude, went into the desert of Sin, in the first month. And the people stayed at Kadesh. And Miriam died there, and she was buried in the same place.
2 E não havia água para a congregação: então se congregaram contra Moisés e contra Aarão.
And when the people were in need of water, they came together against Moses and Aaron.
3 E o povo contendeu com Moisés, e falaram, dizendo: Oxalá tivéssemos expirado quando expiraram nossos irmãos perante o Senhor!
And as it turned into sedition, they said: “If only we had perished among our brothers in the sight of the Lord.
4 E porque trouxestes a congregação do Senhor a este deserto, para que morramos ali, nós e os nossos animais?
Why have you led away the Church of the Lord, into the wilderness, so that both we and our cattle would die?
5 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.
Why did you cause us to ascend from Egypt, and why have you led us into this most wretched place, which is not able to be sown, which does not produce figs, or vines, or pomegranates, and which, moreover, does not even have water to drink?”
6 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.
And Moses and Aaron, dismissing the multitude, entered the tabernacle of the covenant, and they fell prone on the ground, and they cried out to the Lord, and they said: “O Lord God, listen to the outcry of this people, and open for them, from your storehouse, a fountain of living water, so that, being satisfied, their murmuring may cease.” And the glory of the Lord appeared over them.
7 E o Senhor falou a Moisés, dizendo:
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
8 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.
“Take the rod, and gather the people, you and your brother Aaron, and speak to the rock before them, and it shall bestow waters. And when you have brought forth water from the rock, the entire multitude and their cattle shall drink.”
9 Então Moisés tomou a vara de diante do Senhor, como lhe tinha ordenado,
Therefore, Moses took the rod, which was in the sight of the Lord, just as he had instructed him.
10 E Moisés e Aarão congregaram a congregação diante da rocha, e disse-lhes: Ouvi agora, rebeldes, porventura tiraremos água desta rocha para vós
And having gathered the multitude before the rock, he said to them: “Listen, you who are rebellious and unbelieving. Would we be able to cast out water from this rock?”
11 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.
And when Moses had lifted up his hand, striking the stone twice with the rod, very great waters went forth, so much so that the people and their cattle were able to drink.
12 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.
And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, “Because you did not believe me, so as to sanctify me before the sons of Israel, you shall not lead this people into the land, which I will give to them.”
13 Estas são as águas de Meribah, porque os filhos de Israel contenderam com o Senhor: e se santificou neles.
This is the Water of Contradiction, where the sons of Israel were quarreling against the Lord, and he was sanctified in them.
14 Depois Moisés desde Cades mandou mensageiros ao rei de Edom, dizendo: Assim diz teu irmão Israel: sabes todo o trabalho que nos sobreveio:
Meanwhile, Moses sent messengers from Kadesh to the king of Edom. They said: “Your brother Israel says this: You know of all the hardships which have overtaken us,
15 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:
how our fathers descended into Egypt, and we lived there for a long time, and the Egyptians afflicted both us and our fathers,
16 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.
and how we cried out to the Lord, and he heeded us and sent an Angel, who led us away from Egypt. Behold, we are situated in the city of Kadesh, which is at the extremity of your borders.
17 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.
And we beg you to permit us to cross through your land. We will not go through the fields, nor through the vineyards; we will not drink the waters of your wells, but we will travel by the public ways, neither turning aside to the right, nor to the left, until we have passed your borders.”
18 Porém Edom lhe disse: Não passarás por mim, para que porventura eu não saia à espada ao teu encontro.
Edom responded to them: “You shall not cross through me, otherwise, I will meet you armed.”
19 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
And the sons of Israel said: “We will travel by the well-trodden path. And if we or our cattle drink from your waters, we will give you what is just. There shall be no difficulty in the price, only let us cross through quickly.”
20 Porém ele disse: Não passarás. E saiu-lhe Edom ao encontro com muita gente, e com mão forte.
But he answered, “You shall not cross.” And immediately he went out to meet them with a countless multitude and a strong hand;
21 Assim recusou Edom deixar passar a Israel pelo seu termo: pelo que Israel se desviou dele.
neither was he willing to agree to their petition to concede passage through his borders. For this reason, Israel diverted away from him.
22 Então partiram de Cades: e os filhos de Israel, toda a congregação, vieram ao monte de Hor.
And when they had moved the camp from Kadesh, they arrived at mount Hor, which is at the borders of the land of Edom,
23 E falou o Senhor a Moisés e a Aarão no monte de Hor, nos termos da terra de Edom, dizendo:
where the Lord spoke to Moses:
24 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.
“Let Aaron,” he said, “go to his people. For he shall not enter into the land which I have given to the sons of Israel, because he did not believe my mouth at the Waters of Contradiction.
25 Toma a Aarão e a Eleazar, seu filho, e faze-os subir ao monte de Hor.
Take Aaron, and his son with him, and lead them on 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 when you have stripped the father of his vestments, you shall put them on Eleazar, his son. Aaron shall be gathered and shall die there.”
27 Fez pois Moisés como o Senhor lhe ordenara: porque subiram ao monte de Hor perante os olhos de toda a congregação.
Moses did just as the Lord had instructed. And they ascended mount Hor, in the sight of the entire multitude.
28 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.
And when he had despoiled Aaron of his vestments, he clothed his son Eleazar with them. And when Aaron had died at the top of the mountain, Moses came down with Eleazar.
29 Vendo pois toda a congregação que Aarão era morto, choraram a Aarão trinta dias, toda a casa de Israel.
And the entire multitude, seeing that Aaron lay dead, wept over him for thirty days, throughout all their families.
