Numbers 21
1 And the Canaanite, the king of Arad, who dwelt in the South, heard tell that Israel came by the way of Atharim; and he fought against Israel, and took some of them captive.
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.
2 And Israel vowed a vow unto the LORD, and said: 'If Thou wilt indeed deliver this people into my hand, then I will utterly destroy their cities.'
Então Israel fez voto ao SENHOR, e disse: Se com efeito entregares a este povo em minha mão, eu destruirei suas cidades.
3 And the LORD hearkened to the voice of Israel, and delivered up the Canaanites; and they utterly destroyed them and their cities; and the name of the place was called Hormah.
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.
4 And they journeyed from mount Hor by the way to the Red Sea, to compass the land of Edom; and the soul of the people became impatient because of the way.
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.
5 And the people spoke against God, and against Moses: 'Wherefore have ye brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? for there is no bread, and there is no water; and our soul loatheth this light bread.'
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.
6 And the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died.
E o SENHOR enviou entre o povo serpentes ardentes, que mordiam ao povo: e morreu muito povo de Israel.
7 And the people came to Moses, and said: 'We have sinned, because we have spoken against the LORD, and against thee; pray unto the LORD, that He take away the serpents from us.' And Moses prayed for the people.
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.
8 And the LORD said unto Moses: 'Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole; and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he seeth it, shall live.'
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.
9 And Moses made a serpent of brass, and set it upon the pole; and it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he looked unto the serpent of brass, he lived.
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.
10 And the children of Israel journeyed, and pitched in Oboth.
E partiram os filhos de Israel, e assentaram acampamento em Obote.
11 And they journeyed from Oboth, and pitched at Ije-abarim, in the wilderness which is in front of Moab, toward the sun-rising.
E partidos de Obote, assentaram em Ijé-Abarim, no deserto que está diante de Moabe, ao oriente.
12 From thence they journeyed, and pitched in the valley of Zered.
Partidos dali, assentaram no vale de Zerede.
13 From thence they journeyed, and pitched on the other side of the Arnon, which is in the wilderness, that cometh out of the border of the Amorites. — For Arnon is the border of Moab, between Moab and the Amorites;
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.
14 wherefore it is said in the book of the Wars of the LORD: Vaheb in Suphah, and the valleys of Arnon,
Por isso se diz no livro das batalhas do SENHOR: Vaebe em Sufa, e nos ribeiros de Arnom:
15 And the slope of the valleys that inclineth toward the seat of Ar, and leaneth upon the border of Moab. —
E à corrente dos ribeiros que vai a parar em Ar, e descansa no termo de Moabe.
16 And from thence to Beer; that is the well whereof the LORD said unto Moses: 'Gather the people together, and I will give them water.'
E dali vieram a Beer: este é o poço do qual o SENHOR disse a Moisés: Junta ao povo, e lhes darei água.
17 Then sang Israel this song: Spring up, O well — sing ye unto it —
Então cantou Israel esta canção: Sobe, ó poço; a ele cantai:
18 The well, which the princes digged, which the nobles of the people delved, with the sceptre, and with their staves. And from the wilderness to Mattanah;
Poço, o qual cavaram os senhores; Cavaram-no os príncipes do povo, E o legislador, com seus bordões. E do deserto [partiram] para Matana.
19 and from Mattanah to Nahaliel; and from Nahaliel to Bamoth;
E de Mataná a Naaliel: e de Naaliel a Bamote:
20 and from Bamoth to the valley that is in the field of Moab, by the top of Pisgah, which looketh down upon the desert.
E de Bamote ao vale que está nos campos de Moabe, e ao cume de Pisga, que está voltado a Jesimom.
21 And Israel sent messengers unto Sihon king of the Amorites, saying:
E enviou Israel embaixadores a Seom, rei dos amorreus, dizendo:
22 'Let me pass through thy land; we will not turn aside into field, or into vineyard; we will not drink of the water of the wells; we will go by the king's highway, until we have passed thy border.'
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.
23 And Sihon would not suffer Israel to pass through his border; but Sihon gathered all his people together, and went out against Israel into the wilderness, and came to Jahaz; and he fought against Israel.
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.
24 And Israel smote him with the edge of the sword, and possessed his land from the Arnon unto the Jabbok, even unto the children of Ammon; for the border of the children of Ammon was strong.
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.
25 And Israel took all these cities; and Israel dwelt in all the cities of the Amorites, in Heshbon, and in all the towns thereof.
E tomou Israel todas estas cidades: e habitou Israel em todas as cidades dos amorreus, em Hesbom e em todas suas aldeias.
26 For Heshbon was the city of Sihon the king of the Amorites, who had fought against the former king of Moab, and taken all his land out of his hand, even unto the Arnon.
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.
27 Wherefore they that speak in parables say: Come ye to Heshbon! let the city of Sihon be built and established!
Portanto, dizem os proverbistas: Vinde a Hesbom, Edifique-se e repare-se a cidade de Seom:
28 For a fire is gone out of Heshbon, a flame from the city of Sihon; it hath devoured Ar of Moab, the lords of the high places of Arnon.
Que fogo saiu de Hesbom, E chama da cidade de Seom, E consumiu a Ar de Moabe, aos senhores dos altos de Arnom.
29 Woe to thee, Moab! thou art undone, O people of Chemosh; he hath given his sons as fugitives, and his daughters into captivity, unto Sihon king of the Amorites.
Ai de ti, Moabe! Pereceste, povo de Camos: Pôs seus filhos em fuga, E suas filhas em cativeiro, por Seom rei dos amorreus.
30 We have shot at them — Heshbon is perished — even unto Dibon, and we have laid waste even unto Nophah, which reacheth unto Medeba.
Mas devastamos o reino deles; pereceu Hesbom até Dibom, E destruímos até Nofá e Medeba.
31 Thus Israel dwelt in the land of the Amorites.
Assim habitou Israel na terra dos amorreus.
32 And Moses sent to spy out Jazer, and they took the towns thereof, and drove out the Amorites that were there.
E enviou Moisés a reconhecer a Jazer; e tomaram suas aldeias, e expulsaram aos amorreus que estavam ali.
33 And they turned and went up by the way of Bashan; and Og the king of Bashan went out against them, he and all his people, to battle at Edrei.
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.
34 And the LORD said unto Moses: 'Fear him not; for I have delivered him into thy hand, and all his people, and his land; and thou shalt do to him as thou didst unto Sihon king of the Amorites, who dwelt at Heshbon.'
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.
35 So they smote him, and his sons, and all his people, until there was none left him remaining; and they possessed his land.
E feriram a ele, e a seus filhos, e a toda sua gente, sem que lhe restasse um, e possuíram sua terra.
