Números 21
1 E quando o cananeu, o rei de Arade, que habitava ao sul, ouviu falar que Israel vinha pelo caminho de Atarim, lutou contra Israel, e dele levou alguns como prisioneiros.
And the Canaanite, the king of Arad who dwelt in the South, heard that Israel had entered by the way of Atharim, —so he made war with Israel, and took some of them captive.
2 Então Israel fez voto ao SENHOR, e disse: Se com efeito entregares a este povo em minha mão, eu destruirei suas cidades.
Then Israel vowed vow unto Yahweh, and said, —If thou wilt, surely deliver up, this people into my hand, then will I utterly destroy their cities.
3 E o SENHOR escutou a voz de Israel, e entregou aos cananeus, e destruiu-os a eles e a suas cidades; e chamou o nome daquele lugar Hormá.
And Yahweh hearkened unto the voice of Israel and delivered up the Canaanite into his hand, so he utterly destroyed them, and their cities, and called the name of the place Hormah [that is, "Utter Destruction"].
4 E partiram do monte de Hor, caminho do mar Vermelho, para rodear a terra de Edom; e abateu-se o ânimo do povo pelo caminho.
Then brake they up from Mount Hor, by way of the Red Sea, to go round the land of Edom, —and the soul of the people became impatient because of the way,
5 E falou o povo contra Deus e Moisés: Por que nos fizeste subir do Egito para que morrêssemos neste deserto? que nem há pão, nem água, e nossa alma tem ódio deste pão tão miserável.
So then the people spake against God and against Moses, Wherefore have ye brought us up out of Egypt, to die in the desert? for there is neither bread nor water, and our soul, doth loathe this contemptible bread!
6 E o SENHOR enviou entre o povo serpentes ardentes, que mordiam ao povo: e morreu muito povo de Israel.
And Yahweh sent among the people the poisonous serpents, and they bit the people, —and much people out of Israel died.
7 Então o povo veio a Moisés, e disseram: Pecado temos por haver falado contra o SENHOR, e contra ti: roga ao SENHOR que tire de nós estas serpentes. E Moisés orou pelo povo.
Then came the people of Israel unto Moses and said—We have sinned in that we spake against Yahweh and against thee, Pray thou unto Yahweh, that he may take from us the serpent. So Moses prayed for the people.
8 E o SENHOR disse a Moisés: Faze-te uma serpente ardente, e põe-a sobre a haste: e será que qualquer um que for mordido e olhar a ela, viverá.
Then said Yahweh unto Moses—Make thee a like serpent, and put it upon standard, —and it shall come to pass, that, any one who is bitten, as soon as he seeth it, shall live.
9 E Moisés fez uma serpente de bronze, e a pôs sobre a haste, e foi, que quando alguma serpente mordia a algum, olhava à serpente de bronze, e vivia.
So Moses made a serpent of bronze, and put it upon the standard, —and it came to pass—that if the serpent had bitten any man, as soon as he directed his look unto the serpent of bronze, he lived.
10 E partiram os filhos de Israel, e assentaram acampamento em Obote.
And the sons of Israel brake up, —and encamped in Oboth.
11 E partidos de Obote, assentaram em Ijé-Abarim, no deserto que está diante de Moabe, ao oriente.
And they brake up from Oboth, —and encamped in Ije-Abarim, in the desert which is over against Moab, towards the rising of the sun.
12 Partidos dali, assentaram no vale de Zerede.
From thence, brake they up, —and encamped in the ravine of Zered.
13 De ali moveram, e assentaram da outra parte de Arnom, que está no deserto, e que sai do termo dos amorreus; porque Arnom é termo de Moabe, entre Moabe e os amorreus.
From thence, brake they up, and encamped on the other side of Arnon which is in the desert, that cometh forth out of the boundary of the Amorites, —for, Arnon, is the boundary of Moab, between Moab and the Amorites.
14 Por isso se diz no livro das batalhas do SENHOR: Vaebe em Sufa, e nos ribeiros de Arnom:
For this cause is it said, in the Book of the Wars of Yahweh, — …Waheb with a hurricane, And the ravines of Arnon;
15 E à corrente dos ribeiros que vai a parar em Ar, e descansa no termo de Moabe.
And the bottom of the ravines, that extendeth toward the dwelling of Ar, —And adjoineth to the boundary of Moab,
16 E dali vieram a Beer: este é o poço do qual o SENHOR disse a Moisés: Junta ao povo, e lhes darei água.
And from thence, towards Beer, —the same, is the well whereof Yahweh said unto Moses, Gather together the people, that I may give them water.
17 Então cantou Israel esta canção: Sobe, ó poço; a ele cantai:
Then, sang Israel this song, —Spring thou up, O well! Respond ye thereunto;
18 Poço, o qual cavaram os senhores; Cavaram-no os príncipes do povo, E o legislador, com seus bordões. E do deserto [partiram] para Matana.
A well!—princes digged it, Nobles of the people, delved it, With a sceptre, With their staves. And, from the desert, to Mattanah;
19 E de Mataná a Naaliel: e de Naaliel a Bamote:
and from Mattanah, to Nahaliel; and from Nahaliel, to Bamoth;
20 E de Bamote ao vale que está nos campos de Moabe, e ao cume de Pisga, que está voltado a Jesimom.
and, from Bamoth of the valley, which is in the field-country of Moab, to the top of Pisgah, —which overlooketh Jeshimon.
21 E enviou Israel embaixadores a Seom, rei dos amorreus, dizendo:
Then sent Israel messengers, unto Sihon king of the Amorites, saying:
22 Deixa-me passar por tua terra: não nos desviaremos pelos campos, nem pelas vinhas; não beberemos as águas dos poços; pelo caminho real iremos, até que passemos os teus termos.
Let me pass through thy land we will not turn aside into field or into vineyard, nor will we drink the water of a well, —by the king’s road, will we go, until we get through thy boundary.
23 Mas Seom não deixou passar a Israel por seus termos: antes juntou Seom todo seu povo, e saiu contra Israel no deserto: e veio a Jaza, e lutou contra Israel.
And Sihon suffered not Israel to pass through his boundary, but Sihon gathered together all his people, and came forth to meet Israel, towards the desert, and entered Jahaz, and fought with Israel.
24 Mas Israel o feriu a fio de espada, e tomou sua terra desde Arnom até Jaboque, até os filhos de Amom: porque o termo dos filhos de Amom era forte.
And Israel smote him with the edge of the sword, —and took possession of his land, from Arnon unto Jabbok, unto the sons of Ammon, for strong, was the boundary of the sons of Ammon.
25 E tomou Israel todas estas cidades: e habitou Israel em todas as cidades dos amorreus, em Hesbom e em todas suas aldeias.
So Israel took all these cities, —and Israel dwelt in all the cities of the Amorites, in Heshbon and in all her villages;
26 Porque Hesbom era a cidade de Seom, rei dos amorreus; o qual havia tido guerra antes com o rei de Moabe, e tomado de seu poder toda a sua terra até Arnom.
for, as for Heshbon, the city of Sihon king of the Amorites, it was, he, having fought with the former king of Moab, and taken all his land out of his hand, unto Arnon.
27 Portanto, dizem os proverbistas: Vinde a Hesbom, Edifique-se e repare-se a cidade de Seom:
For this cause, say the poets—Enter ye Heshbon, —Built and prepared be the city of Sihon;
28 Que fogo saiu de Hesbom, E chama da cidade de Seom, E consumiu a Ar de Moabe, aos senhores dos altos de Arnom.
For, a fire, hath come forth out of Heshbon, A flame, out of the stronghold of Sihon; It hath consumed Ar of Moab, The lords of the high places of Arnon.
29 Ai de ti, Moabe! Pereceste, povo de Camos: Pôs seus filhos em fuga, E suas filhas em cativeiro, por Seom rei dos amorreus.
Woe to thee, Moab, Thou art lost, O people of Chemosh, —He hath given up his sons as fugitives, And his daughters into captivity, Unto the king of the Amorites, Sihon.
30 Mas devastamos o reino deles; pereceu Hesbom até Dibom, E destruímos até Nofá e Medeba.
Then we shot them—Heshbon is destroyed, as far as Dibon, —Then laid we waste as far as Nophah, A fire reacheth unto Medeba.
31 Assim habitou Israel na terra dos amorreus.
So then Israel dwelt in the land of the Amorites.
32 E enviou Moisés a reconhecer a Jazer; e tomaram suas aldeias, e expulsaram aos amorreus que estavam ali.
And Moses sent to spy out Jazer, and they captured the villages thereof, —and dispossessed the Amorites that were there.
33 E voltaram, e subiram caminho de Basã. E Ogue, rei de Basã, ele e todo o seu povo, saíram contra eles, para lutar em Edrei.
Then turned they, and went up by the way of Bashan, —and Og, king of Bashan, came forth to meet them—he and all his people, to give battle at Edrei.
34 Então o SENHOR disse a Moisés: Não tenhas medo dele, que em tua mão o dei, a o e a todo seu povo, e a sua terra; e farás dele como fizeste de Seom, rei dos amorreus, que habitava em Hesbom.
Then said Yahweh unto Moses—Do not fear him, for into thy hand, have I delivered him and all his people, and his land, —Therefore shalt thou do unto him, as thou didst unto Sihon king of the Amorites, who was dwelling in Heshbon.
35 E feriram a ele, e a seus filhos, e a toda sua gente, sem que lhe restasse um, e possuíram sua terra.
So then they smote him and his sons and all his people, until there was not left him a remnant, —and took possession of his land.
