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 spoke to all of Israel, across the Jordan, in the plain of the wilderness opposite the Red Sea, between Paran and Tophel and Laban and Hazeroth, where gold is very plentiful,
2 Onze jornadas há desde Horebe, caminho do monte de Seir, até Cades-Barneia.
eleven days from Horeb, by way of Mount Seir as far as 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;
In the fortieth year, on the eleventh month, on the first day of the month, Moses told the sons of Israel all that the Lord had instructed him. And so he spoke to 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 struck down Sihon, the king of the Amorites, who lived at Heshbon, and Og, the king of Bashan, who resided at Ashtaroth and at Edrei,
5 Desta parte do Jordão, em terra de Moabe, resolveu Moisés declarar esta lei, dizendo:
across the Jordan in the land of Moab. And so, Moses began to explain the law, and to say:
6 O SENHOR nosso Deus nos falou em Horebe, dizendo: Demais haveis estado neste monte;
“The Lord our God spoke to us at Horeb, saying: ‘You have remained long enough on 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.
Turn back and go to the mountain of the Amorites, and to the other places which are near it: the plains as well as the mountainous regions, and the low-lying places opposite the south and along the shore of the sea, the land of the Canaanites, and Lebanon, as far as the great 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.
‘Lo,’ he said, ‘I have delivered it to you. Enter and possess that which the Lord swore to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, that he would give it to them, and to their offspring after them.’
9 E eu vos falei então, dizendo: Eu não posso vos levar só:
And I said to you, at that time:
10 O SENHOR vosso Deus vos multiplicou, e eis que sois hoje vós como as estrelas do céu em abundância.
‘I alone am not able to sustain you. For the Lord, your God, has multiplied you, and you are today like the stars of heaven, very many.
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, add to this number many thousands more, and may he bless you, just as he has said.
12 Como levarei eu só vossos problemas, vossas cargas, e vossos pleitos?
Alone, I do not have the strength to endure your arbitrations and judgments and disputes.
13 Dai-me dentre vós, de vossas tribos, homens sábios e entendidos e experientes, para que eu os ponha por vossos chefes.
Offer, from among you, wise and experienced men, those whose conversation has been proven within your tribes, so that I may appoint them as your rulers.’
14 E me respondestes, e dissestes: Bom é fazer o que disseste.
Then you responded to me: ‘What you intend to do is a good thing.’
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.
And so, I took from your tribes men, wise and noble, and I appointed them as rulers, as tribunes and centurions, and as leaders over fifty and over ten, who would teach you each thing.
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 I instructed them, saying: ‘Listen to them, and judge what is just, whether he is one of your citizens or a sojourner.
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.
There shall be no favoritism to any persons. So you shall listen to the little as well as to the great. And you shall not accept anyone’s reputation, for this is the judgment of God. But if anything seems difficult to you, then refer it to me, and I will hear it.’
18 Eu vos mandei, pois, naquele tempo tudo o que havíeis de fazer.
And I instructed you in all that you were obliged 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, setting out from Horeb, we crossed through a terrible and great wasteland, which you saw along the way of the mountain of the Amorite, just as the Lord our God had instructed us. And when we had arrived at Kadesh-barnea,
20 Então eu vos disse: ‘Chegastes à região montanhosa dos amorreus, a qual o SENHOR, nosso Deus, nos dá.
I said to you: ‘You have arrived at the mountain of the Amorite, which the Lord our God will give to 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.’
Gaze upon the land that the Lord your God gives to you. Ascend and possess it, just as the Lord our God has spoken to your fathers. Do not be afraid, and do not become terrified by anything.’
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 all approached me and said: ‘Let us send men who may consider the land, and who may report as to the way by which we ought to ascend, and as to which cities we ought to travel.’
23 E isso me pareceu bem. Então tomei doze homens de vós, um homem de cada tribo.
And since the word was pleasing to me, I sent from among you twelve men, one from each tribe.
24 Eles se foram, subiram às montanhas, chegaram ao vale de Escol, e o reconheceram.
These, when they had set out and had ascended the mountains, arrived as far as the valley of the cluster of grapes. And having considered the land,
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.’
having taken from its fruits in order to show its fertility, they brought these to us, and they said: ‘The land that the Lord our God will give to us is good.’
26 Porém não quisestes subir, mas fostes rebeldes à ordem do SENHOR, vosso Deus;
Yet you were not willing to go there. Instead, being incredulous to the word of the Lord our God,
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.
you murmured in your tents, and you said: ‘The Lord hates us, and therefore he has led us away from the land of Egypt, so that he might deliver us into the hand of the Amorite and destroy us.
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.’
To where should we ascend? The messengers have terrified our heart by saying: “The multitude is very great, and taller than us. And the cities are great, and the walls extend even to the sky. We have seen the sons of the Anakim there.”’
29 Então vos disse: Não temais, nem tenhais medo deles.
And I said to you: ‘Do not be apprehensive, nor should you fear 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 God himself, who is your leader, will fight on your behalf, just as he did in Egypt in the sight of all.
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 wilderness (as you yourselves saw), the Lord your God carried you, like a man who is accustomed to carrying his little son, along all the way that you walked, until you arrived at this place.’
32 E ainda com isto não crestes no SENHOR vosso Deus,
And yet, despite all of this, you did not believe 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 went before you on the way, and who marked out the place where you should pitch your tents, showing you the way by fire in the night, and by a pillar of cloud in the day.
34 E ouviu o SENHOR a voz de vossas palavras, e irou-se, e jurou dizendo:
And when the Lord had heard the voice of your words, becoming angry, he swore and said:
35 Não verá homem algum destes desta má geração, a boa terra que jurei havia de dar a vossos pais,
‘None of the men of this wicked generation will see the good land, which I have promised by oath 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.
except Caleb the son of Jephuneh. For he himself will see it, and I will give the land on which he has walked to him and to his sons, because he has followed the Lord.’
37 E também contra mim se irou o SENHOR por vós, dizendo: Tampouco tu entrarás ali:
Neither is his indignation with the people a wonder, since the Lord also became angry with me because of you, and so he said: ‘Neither will you enter into that place.
38 Josué filho de Num, que está diante de ti, ele entrará ali: anima-o; porque ele a fará herdar a Israel.
But Joshua, the son of Nun, your minister, shall himself enter on your behalf. Exhort and strengthen this man, and he himself shall divide the land by lot to Israel.
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.
Your little ones, about whom you said that they would be led away as captives, and your sons, who to this day are ignorant of the difference between good and evil, they shall enter. And I will give the land to them, and they will possess it.
40 E vós voltai-vos, e parti-vos ao deserto caminho do mar Vermelho.
But as for you, turn back and go out to the wilderness, by 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.
And you responded to me: ‘We have sinned against the Lord. We will ascend and fight, just as the Lord our God has instructed.’ And having been equipped with weapons, when you were setting out for the mountain,
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.
the Lord said to me: ‘Say to them: Do not ascend and do not fight. For I am not with you. Otherwise, you may fall in the sight of your enemies.’
43 E vos falei, e não destes ouvido; antes fostes rebeldes ao dito do SENHOR, e persistindo com altivez, subistes ao monte.
I spoke, and you did not listen. But, opposing the order of the Lord, and swelling with pride, you ascended onto the mountain.
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 so, having gone forth, the Amorite, who was living in the mountains, came against you and pursued you, just as a swarm of bees would do. And he struck you down from Seir all the way to Hormah.
45 E voltastes, e chorastes diante do SENHOR; mas o SENHOR não escutou vossa voz, nem vos prestou ouvido.
And when you returned and were weeping in the sight of the Lord, he would not hear you, nor was he willing to agree to your voice.
46 E estivestes em Cades por muitos dias, como nos dias que estivestes.
Therefore, you camped at Kadesh-barnea for a long time.”
