Numbers 21
1 And when king Arad the Canaanite, who was living toward the south, had heard this, namely, that Israel had arrived by the way of spies, he fought against them. And proving to be the victor, he led away prey from them.
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 dele levou alguns deles por prisioneiros.
2 But Israel, obliging himself by a vow to the Lord, said: “If you deliver this people into my hand, I will wipe away their cities.”
Então Israel fez um voto ao Senhor, dizendo: Se totalmente entregares este povo na minha mão, destruirei totalmente as suas cidades.
3 And the Lord heard the prayers of Israel, and he delivered the Canaanite, whom they put to death, overthrowing his cities. And they called the name of that place Hormah, that is, Anathema.
O Senhor pois ouviu a voz de Israel, e entregou os cananeus, e os destruiu totalmente, a eles e às suas cidades: e o nome daquele lugar chamou Horma.
4 Then they set out from mount Hor, by the way that leads to the Red Sea, to circle around the land of Edom. And the people began to tire of their journey and hardships.
Então partiram do monte de Hor, pelo caminho do Mar Vermelho, a rodear a terra de Edom: porém a alma do povo angustiou-se neste caminho.
5 And speaking against God and Moses, they said: “Why did you lead us away from Egypt, so as to die in the wilderness? Bread is lacking; there are no waters. Our soul is now nauseous over this very light food.”
E o povo falou contra Deus e contra Moisés: Porque nos fizestes subir do Egito para que morressemos neste deserto? pois aqui nem pão nem água há: e a nossa alma tem fastio deste pão tão vil
6 For this reason, the Lord sent fiery serpents among the people, which wounded or killed many of them.
Então o Senhor mandou entre o povo serpentes ardentes, que morderam o povo; e morreu muito povo de Israel.
7 And so they went to Moses, and they said: “We have sinned, because we have spoken against the Lord and against you. Pray, so that he may take away these serpents from us.” And Moses prayed for the people.
Pelo que o povo veio a Moisés, e disse: Havemos pecado, porquanto temos falado contra o Senhor e contra ti; ora ao Senhor que tire de nós estas serpentes. Então Moisés orou pelo povo.
8 And the Lord said to him: “Make a bronze serpent, and place it as a sign. Whoever, having been struck, gazes upon it, shall live.”
E disse o Senhor a Moisés: Faze-te uma serpente ardente, e põe-na sobre uma haste: e será que viverá todo o mordido que atentar para ela.
9 Therefore, Moses made a bronze serpent, and he placed it as a sign. When those who had been struck gazed upon it, they were healed.
E Moisés fez uma serpente de metal, e pô-la sobre uma haste; e era que, mordendo alguma serpente a alguém, atentava para a serpente de metal, e ficava vivo.
10 And the sons of Israel, setting out, made camp at Oboth.
Então os filhos de Israel partiram, e alojaram-se em Oboth.
11 Having departed from there, they pitched their tents at Iye-abarim, in the wilderness, which looks out toward Moab, opposite the eastern region.
Depois partiram de Oboth, e alojaram-se nos outeiros de Abarim, no deserto que está defronte de Moab, ao nascente do sol.
12 And moving from there, they arrived at the Torrent of Zared.
Dali partiram, e alojaram-se junto ao ribeiro de Zered.
13 Having left that place behind, they then made camp opposite Arnon, which is in the desert, and which juts out at the borders of the Amorite. For certainly Arnon is at the limit of Moab, dividing the Moabites and the Amorites.
E dali partiram, e alojaram-se desta banda de Arnon, que está no deserto e sai dos termos dos amorreus: porque Arnon é o termo de Moab, entre Moab e os amorreus.
14 About this place, it is said in the book of the wars of the Lord: “As he did at the Red Sea, so will he do at the Torrents of Arnon.”
Pelo que se diz no livro das guerras do Senhor: Contra Vaheb em Supha, e contra os ribeiros de Arnon,
15 The stones of the torrents were bent, so that they might rest in Ar and lie back within the borders of the Moabites.
E contra a corrente dos ribeiros, que se volve para a situação de Ar, e se encosta aos termos de Moab.
16 Beyond that place appeared a well, about which the Lord said to Moses: “Gather the people together, and I will give them water.”
E dali se partiram a Beer; este é o poço do qual o Senhor disse a Moisés: Ajunta o povo, e lhe darei água
17 Then Israel sang this verse: “Let the well rise up.” They sang:
(Então Israel cantou este cântico: Sobe, poço, cantai dele:
18 “The well, the leaders dug it, and the commanders of the multitude prepared it, at the direction of the lawgiver, and with their staffs.”
Tu, poço, que cavaram os príncipes, que escavaram os nobres do povo, e o legislador com os seus bordões): e do deserto partiram para Mattana;
19 They went from the wilderness to Mattanah, from Mattanah to Nahaliel, from Nahaliel to Bamoth,
E de Mattana a Nahaliel, e de Nahaliel a Bamoth;
20 from Bamoth, a valley in the region of Moab, to the top of Pisgah, which looks out opposite the desert.
E de Bamoth ao vale que está no campo de Moab, no cume de Pisga, e à vista do deserto.
21 Then Israel sent messengers to Sihon, the king of the Amorites, saying:
Então Israel mandou mensageiros a Sehon, rei dos amorreus, dizendo:
22 “I beg you to permit me to cross through your land. We will not turn aside into the fields or the vineyards. We will not drink waters from the wells. We will travel by the royal way, until we have passed your borders.”
Deixa-me passar pela tua terra; não nos desviaremos pelos campos nem pelas vinhas: as águas dos poços não beberemos: iremos pela estrada real até que passemos os teus termos.
23 And he was not willing to allow Israel to cross through his borders. But instead, gathering an army, he went out to meet them in the desert, and he arrived at Jahaz and fought against them.
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 veio a Jazha, e pelejou contra Israel.
24 And he was struck down by them with the edge of the sword, and they possessed his land from Arnon, even to Jabbok and the sons of Ammon. For the borders of the Ammonites were held by a strong fortress.
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.
25 Therefore, Israel took all his cities and lived in the cities of the Amorite, namely, in Heshbon and its villages.
Assim Israel tomou todas estas cidades: e Israel habitou em todas as cidades dos amorreus, em Hesbon e em todas as suas aldeias.
26 Heshbon was the city of Sihon, the king of the Amorites, who fought against the king of Moab. And he took all the land, which had been under his sovereignty, as far as Arnon.
Porque Hesbon era cidade de Sehon, rei dos amorreus, e tinha pelejado contra o precedente rei dos moabitas, e tinha tomado da sua mão toda a sua terra até Arnon.
27 About this, it is said in the proverb: “Enter into Heshbon. Let the city of Sihon be established and built.
Pelo que dizem os que falam em provérbios: Vinde a Hesbon; edifique-se e fortifique-se a cidade de Sehon.
28 A fire has gone forth from Heshbon, a flame from the town of Sihon, and it has devoured Ar of the Moabites, and the inhabitants of the heights of Arnon.
Porque fogo saiu de Hesbon, e uma chama da cidade de Sehon: e consumiu a Ar dos moabitas, e os senhores dos altos de Arnon.
29 Woe to you, Moab! You are perishing, O people of Chemosh. He gave flight to his sons, and he gave the daughters into captivity, to the king of the Amorites, Sihon.
Ai de ti, Moab! perdido és, povo de Chamoz! entregou seus filhos, que iam fugindo, e suas filhas, a ser cativos a Sehon, rei dos amorreus.
30 Their yoke has been scattered from Heshbon even to Dibon. They have passed through, wearily, into Nophah, and as far as Medeba.”
E nós os derrubamos: Hesbon perdida é até Dibon, e os assolamos até Nophah, que se estende até Medeba
31 And so Israel lived in the land of the Amorite.
Assim Israel habitou na terra dos amorreus.
32 And Moses sent some to explore Jazer. These captured its villages and possessed its inhabitants.
Depois mandou Moisés espiar a Jaezer, e tomaram as suas aldeias, e daquela possessão lançaram os amorreus que estavam ali.
33 And they turned themselves and ascended, along the way of Bashan. And Og, the king of Bashan, met them with all his people, to fight at Edrei.
Então viraram-se, e subiram o caminho de Basan: e Og, rei de Basan, saiu contra eles, ele e todo o seu povo, à peleja em Edrei.
34 And the Lord said to Moses: “Do not be afraid of him. For I have delivered him, and all his people, as well as his land, into your hand. And you shall do to him just as you did to Sihon, the king of the Amorites, the inhabitant of Heshbon.”
E disse o Senhor a Moisés: Não o temas, porque eu to tenho dado na tua mão, a ele, e a todo o seu povo, e a sua terra, e far-lhe-ás como fizeste a Sehon, rei dos amorreus, que habitava em Hesbon.
35 Therefore, they struck him down also, with his sons, and all his people, even to utter destruction, and they possessed his land.
E de tal maneira o feriram, a ele e a seus filhos, e a todo o seu povo, que nenhum deles escapou: e tomaram a sua terra em possessão.
