Deuteronômio 1
1 Estas são as palavras que falou Moisés a todo Israel desta parte do Jordão no deserto, na planície diante do mar Vermelho, entre Parã, e Tofel, e Labã, e Hazerote, e Di-Zaabe.
These are the words which Moses said to all Israel on the far side of Jordan, in the waste land in the Arabah opposite Suph, between Paran on the one side, and Tophel, Laban, Hazeroth, and Dizahab on the other.
2 Onze jornadas há desde Horebe, caminho do monte de Seir, até Cades-Barneia.
It is eleven days' journey from Horeb by the way of Mount Seir to Kadesh-barnea.
3 E foi, que aos quarenta anos, no mês décimo primeiro, ao primeiro dia do mês, Moisés falou aos filhos de Israel conforme todas as coisas que o SENHOR lhe havia mandado acerca deles;
Now in the fortieth year, on the first day of the eleventh month, Moses gave to the children of Israel all the orders which the Lord had given him for them;
4 Depois que feriu a Seom rei dos amorreus, que habitava em Hesbom, e a Ogue rei de Basã, que habitava em Astarote em Edrei:
After he had overcome Sihon, king of the Amorites, ruling in Heshbon, and Og, king of Bashan, ruling in Ashtaroth, at Edrei:
5 Desta parte do Jordão, em terra de Moabe, resolveu Moisés declarar esta lei, dizendo:
On the far side of Jordan in the land of Moab, Moses gave the people this law, saying,
6 O SENHOR nosso Deus nos falou em Horebe, dizendo: Demais haveis estado neste monte;
The Lord our God said to us in Horeb, You have been long enough in this mountain:
7 Voltai-vos, parti-vos e ide ao monte dos amorreus, e a todos seus vizinhos, na planície, no monte, e nos vales, e ao sul, e à costa do mar, à terra dos cananeus, e o Líbano, até o grande rio, o rio Eufrates.
Make a move now, and go on your way into the hill-country of the Amorites and the places near it, in the Arabah and the hill-country and in the lowlands and in the South and by the seaside, all the land of the Canaanites, and Lebanon, as far as the great river, the river Euphrates.
8 Olhai, eu dei a terra em vossa presença; entrai e possuí a terra que o SENHOR jurou a vossos pais Abraão, Isaque, e Jacó, que lhes daria a eles e à sua descendência depois deles.
See, all the land is before you: go in and take for yourselves the land which the Lord gave by an oath to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and to their seed after them.
9 E eu vos falei então, dizendo: Eu não posso vos levar só:
At that time I said to you, I am not able to undertake the care of you by myself;
10 O SENHOR vosso Deus vos multiplicou, e eis que sois hoje vós como as estrelas do céu em abundância.
The Lord your God has given you increase, and now you are like the stars of heaven in number.
11 O SENHOR Deus de vossos pais acrescente sobre vós como sois mil vezes, e vos abençoe, como vos prometeu!
May the Lord, the God of your fathers, make you a thousand times greater in number than you are, and give you his blessing as he has said!
12 Como levarei eu só vossos problemas, vossas cargas, e vossos pleitos?
How is it possible for me by myself to be responsible for you, and undertake the weight of all your troubles and your arguments?
13 Dai-me dentre vós, de vossas tribos, homens sábios e entendidos e experientes, para que eu os ponha por vossos chefes.
Take for yourselves men who are wise, far-seeing, and respected among you, from your tribes, and I will make them rulers over you.
14 E me respondestes, e dissestes: Bom é fazer o que disseste.
And you made answer and said to me, It is good for us to do as you say.
15 E tomei os principais de vossas tribos, homens sábios e experientes, e os pus por chefes sobre vós, chefes de milhares, e chefes de centenas, e chefes de cinquenta, e líderes de dez, e governadores a vossas tribos.
So I took the heads of your tribes, wise men and respected, and made them rulers over you, captains of thousands and captains of hundreds and captains of fifties and captains of tens, and overseers of your tribes.
16 E então mandei a vossos juízes, dizendo: Ouvi entre vossos irmãos, e julgai justamente entre o homem e seu irmão, e o que lhe é estrangeiro.
And at that time I gave orders to your judges, saying, Let all questions between your brothers come before you for hearing, and give decisions uprightly between a man and his brother or one from another nation who is with him.
17 Não tenhais acepção de pessoas no juízo: tanto ao pequeno como ao grande ouvireis: não tereis temor de ninguém, porque o juízo é de Deus: e a causa que vos for difícil, a trareis a mim, e eu a ouvirei.
In judging, do not let a man's position have any weight with you; give hearing equally to small and great; have no fear of any man, for it is God who is judge: and any cause in which you are not able to give a decision, you are to put before me and I will give it a hearing.
18 Eu vos mandei, pois, naquele tempo tudo o que havíeis de fazer.
And at that time I gave you all the orders which you were to do.
19 Então partimos de Horebe, e andamos por todo aquele grande e temível deserto que vistes, pelo caminho montanhoso dos amorreus, como o SENHOR, nosso Deus, havia nos mandado; e chegamos a Cades-Barneia.
Then we went on from Horeb, through all that great and cruel waste which you saw, on our way to the hill-country of the Amorites, as the Lord gave us orders; and we came to Kadesh-barnea.
20 Então eu vos disse: ‘Chegastes à região montanhosa dos amorreus, a qual o SENHOR, nosso Deus, nos dá.
And I said to you, You have come to the hill-country of the Amorites, which the Lord our God is giving us.
21 Eis que o SENHOR, teu Deus, deu diante de ti esta terra; sobe e tomai posse dela, como o SENHOR, o Deus dos teus pais, te disse; não temas nem te apavores.’
See now, the Lord your God has put the land into your hands: go up and take it, as the Lord, the God of your fathers, has said to you; have no fear and do not be troubled.
22 Então todos vós vos aproximastes de mim, e dissestes: ‘Enviemos homens adiante de nós, que nos reconheçam a terra, e nos tragam de volta relato de qual caminho por onde devemos subir, e das cidades aonde devemos ir.’
And you came near to me, every one of you, and said, Let us send men before us to go through the land with care and give us an account of the way we are to go and the towns to which we will come.
23 E isso me pareceu bem. Então tomei doze homens de vós, um homem de cada tribo.
And what you said seemed good to me, and I took twelve men from among you, one from every tribe;
24 Eles se foram, subiram às montanhas, chegaram ao vale de Escol, e o reconheceram.
And they went up into the hill-country and came to the valley of Eshcol, and saw what was there.
25 E tomaram em suas mãos do fruto daquela terra, e o trouxeram a nós, e nos contaram, e disseram: ‘A terra que o SENHOR, nosso Deus, nos dá, é boa.’
And taking in their hands some of the fruit of the land, they came down again to us, and gave us their account, saying, It is a good land which the Lord our God is giving us.
26 Porém não quisestes subir, mas fostes rebeldes à ordem do SENHOR, vosso Deus;
But going against the order of the Lord your God, you would not go up:
27 E murmurastes em vossas tendas, dizendo: ‘É porque o SENHOR nos odeia que ele nos tirou da terra do Egito, para nos entregar nas mãos dos amorreus, para nos destruir.
And you made an angry outcry in your tents, and said, In his hate for us the Lord has taken us out of the land of Egypt, to give us up into the hands of the Amorites for our destruction.
28 Para onde subiremos? Nossos irmãos fizeram derreter o nosso coração, dizendo: Este povo é maior e mais alto que nós, as cidades são grandes e muradas até o céu; e também vimos ali filhos de gigantes.’
Where are we going up? Our brothers have made our hearts feeble with fear by saying, The people are greater and taller than we are, and the towns are great and walled up to heaven; and more than this, we have seen the sons of the Anakim there.
29 Então vos disse: Não temais, nem tenhais medo deles.
Then I said to you, Have no fear of them.
30 O SENHOR vosso Deus, o qual vai diante de vós, ele lutará por vós, conforme todas as coisas que fez por vós no Egito diante vossos olhos;
The Lord your God who goes before you will be fighting for you, and will do such wonders as he did for you in Egypt before your eyes;
31 E no deserto viste que o SENHOR teu Deus te trouxe, como traz o homem a seu filho, por todo o caminho que andastes, até que viestes a este lugar.
And in the waste land, where you have seen how the Lord was supporting you, as a man does his son, in all your journeying till you came to this place.
32 E ainda com isto não crestes no SENHOR vosso Deus,
But for all this, you had no faith in the Lord your God,
33 O qual ia diante de vós pelo caminho, para reconhecer-vos o lugar onde havíeis de assentar o acampamento, com fogo de noite para vos mostrar o caminho por onde andásseis, e com nuvem de dia.
Who goes before you on your way, looking for a place where you may put up your tents, in fire by night, lighting up the way you are to go, and in a cloud by day.
34 E ouviu o SENHOR a voz de vossas palavras, e irou-se, e jurou dizendo:
And the Lord, hearing your words, was angry, and said with an oath,
35 Não verá homem algum destes desta má geração, a boa terra que jurei havia de dar a vossos pais,
Truly, not one of this evil generation will see that good land which I said I would give to your fathers,
36 Exceto Calebe filho de Jefoné: ele a verá, e a ele lhe darei a terra que pisou, e a seus filhos; porque cumpriu em seguir ao SENHOR.
But only Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, he will see it; and to him and to his children I will give the land over which his feet have gone, because he has been true to the Lord with all his heart.
37 E também contra mim se irou o SENHOR por vós, dizendo: Tampouco tu entrarás ali:
And, in addition, the Lord was angry with me because of you, saying, You yourself will not go into it:
38 Josué filho de Num, que está diante de ti, ele entrará ali: anima-o; porque ele a fará herdar a Israel.
Joshua, the son of Nun, your servant, he will go into the land: say to him that he is to be strong, for he will be Israel's guide into their heritage.
39 E vossas crianças, das quais dissestes serão por presa, e vossos filhos que não sabem hoje bem nem mal, eles entrarão ali, e a eles a darei, e eles a herdarão.
And your little ones, who, you said, would come into strange hands, your children, who now have no knowledge of good or evil, they will go into that land, and to them I will give it and it will be theirs.
40 E vós voltai-vos, e parti-vos ao deserto caminho do mar Vermelho.
But as for you, go back, journeying into the waste land by the way of the Red Sea.
41 Então respondestes e me dissestes: Pecado temos contra o SENHOR; nós subiremos e lutaremos, conforme tudo o que o SENHOR nosso Deus nos mandou. E vos armastes cada um de suas armas de guerra, e vos preparastes para subir ao monte.
Then you said to me, We have done evil against the Lord, we will go up to the attack, as the Lord our God has given us orders. And arming yourselves every one, you made ready to go up without care into the hill-country.
42 E o SENHOR me disse: Dize-lhes: Não subais, nem luteis, pois não estou entre vós; para que não sejais feridos diante de vossos inimigos.
And the Lord said to me, Say to them, Do not go up to the attack; for I am not among you, and you will be overcome by those who are against you.
43 E vos falei, e não destes ouvido; antes fostes rebeldes ao dito do SENHOR, e persistindo com altivez, subistes ao monte.
This I said to you, but you gave no attention and went against the orders of the Lord, and in your pride went up into the hill-country.
44 E saíram os amorreus, que habitavam naquele monte, a vosso encontro, e vos perseguiram, como fazem as vespas, e vos derrotaram em Seir, perseguindo-vos até Hormá.
And the Amorites who were in the hill-country came out against you and put you to flight, rushing after you like bees, and overcame you in Seir, driving you even as far as Hormah.
45 E voltastes, e chorastes diante do SENHOR; mas o SENHOR não escutou vossa voz, nem vos prestou ouvido.
And you came back, weeping before the Lord; but the Lord gave no attention to your cries and did not give ear to you.
46 E estivestes em Cades por muitos dias, como nos dias que estivestes.
So you were kept waiting in Kadesh for a long time.
