1 O ra, ouvindo o cananeu, rei de Arade, que habitava no Negebe, que Israel vinha pelo caminho de Atarim, pelejou contra Israel, e levou dele alguns prisioneiros.

When the Canaanite king of Arad, who dwelt in the South (the Negeb), heard that Israel was coming by the way of Atharim, he fought against Israel and took some of them captive.

2 E ntão Israel fez um voto ao Senhor, dizendo: Se na verdade entregares este povo nas minhas mãos, destruirei totalmente as suas cidades.

And Israel vowed a vow to the Lord, and said, If You will indeed deliver this people into my hand, then I will utterly destroy their cities.

3 O Senhor, pois, ouviu a voz de Israel, e entregou-lhe os cananeus; e os israelitas os destruíram totalmente, a eles e

And the Lord hearkened to Israel and gave over the Canaanites. And they utterly destroyed them and their cities; and the name of the place was called Hormah.

4 E ntão partiram do monte Hor, pelo caminho que vai ao Mar Vermelho, para rodearem a terra de Edom; e a alma do povo impacientou-se por causa do caminho.

And they journeyed from Mount Hor by the way to the Red Sea, to go around the land of Edom, and the people became impatient (depressed, much discouraged), because of the way.

5 E o povo falou contra Deus e contra Moisés: Por que nos fizestes subir do Egito, para morrermos no deserto? pois aqui não há pão e não há água: e a nossa alma tem fastio deste miserável pão.

And the people spoke against God and against Moses, Why have you brought us out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? For there is no bread, neither is there any water, and we loathe this light (contemptible, unsubstantial) manna.

6 E ntão o Senhor mandou entre o povo serpentes abrasadoras, que o mordiam; e morreu muita gente em Israel.

Then the Lord sent fiery (burning) serpents among the people; and they bit the people, and many Israelites died.

7 P elo que o povo veio a Moisés, e disse: Pecamos, porquanto temos falado contra o Senhor e contra ti; ora ao Senhor para que tire de nós estas serpentes. Moisés, pois, orou pelo povo.

And the people came to Moses, and said, We have sinned, for we have spoken against the Lord and against you; pray to the Lord, that He may take away the serpents from us. So Moses prayed for the people.

8 E ntão disse o Senhor a Moisés: Faze uma serpente de bronze, e põe-na sobre uma haste; e será que todo mordido que olhar para ela viverá.

And the Lord said to Moses, Make a fiery serpent and set it on a pole; and everyone who is bitten, when he looks at it, shall live.

9 F ez, pois, Moisés uma serpente de bronze, e pô-la sobre uma haste; e sucedia que, tendo uma serpente mordido a alguém, quando esse olhava para a serpente de bronze, vivia.

And Moses made a serpent of bronze and put it on a pole, and if a serpent had bitten any man, when he looked to the serpent of bronze '> attentively, expectantly, with a steady and absorbing gaze], he lived.

10 P artiram, então, os filhos de Israel, e acamparam-se em Obote.

And the Israelites journeyed on and encamped at Oboth.

11 D epois partiram de Obote, e acamparam-se em Ije-Abarim, no deserto que está defronte de Moabe, para o nascente.

They journeyed from Oboth and encamped at Iye-abarim, in the wilderness opposite Moab, toward the sunrise.

12 D ali partiram, e acamparam-se no vale de Zerede.

From there they journeyed and encamped in the Valley of Zared.

13 E , partindo dali, acamparam-se além do Arnom, que está no deserto e sai dos termos dos amorreus; porque o Arnom é o termo de Moabe, entre Moabe e os amorreus.

From there they journeyed and encamped on the other side of Arnon, which is in the desert or wilderness that extends from the frontier of the Amorites; for Arnon is the boundary of Moab, between Moab and the Amorites.

14 P elo que se diz no livro das guerras do Senhor: Vaebe em Sufa, e os vales do Arnom,

That is why it is said in the Book of the Wars of the Lord: Waheb in Suphah, and the valleys of the Arnon,

15 e o declive dos vales, que se inclina para a situação Ar, e se encosta aos termos de Moabe

And the slope of the valleys that stretch toward the site of Ar and find support on the border of Moab.

16 D ali vieram a Beer; esse é o poço do qual o Senhor disse a Moisés: Ajunta o povo, e lhe darei água.

From there the Israelites went on to Beer, the well of which the Lord had said to Moses, Assemble the people together and I will give them water.

17 E ntão Israel cantou este cântico: Brota, ó poço! E vós, entoai-lhe cânticos!

Then Israel sang this song, Spring up, O well! Let all sing to it,

18 A o poço que os príncipes cavaram, que os nobres do povo escavaram com o bastão, e com os seus bordões. Do deserto vieram a Matana;

The fountain that the princes opened, that the nobles of the people hollowed out from their staves. And from the wilderness or desert to Mattanah,

19 d e Matana a Naaliel; de Naaliel a Bamote;

And from Mattanah to Nahaliel, and from Nahaliel to Bamoth,

20 e de Bamote ao vale que está no campo de Moabe, ao cume de Pisga, que dá para o deserto.

And from Bamoth to the valley that is in the field of Moab, to the top of Pisgah which looks down upon Jeshimon and the desert.

21 E ntão Israel mandou mensageiros a Siom, rei dos amorreus, a dizer-lhe:

And Israel sent messengers to Sihon king of the Amorites, saying,

22 D eixa-me passar pela tua terra; não nos desviaremos para os campos nem para as vinhas; as águas dos poços não beberemos; iremos pela estrada real até que tenhamos passado os teus termos.

Let me pass through your land. We will not turn aside into field or vineyard; we will not drink the water of the wells. We will go by the king’s highway until we have passed your border.

23 S iom, porém, não deixou Israel passar pelos seus termos; pelo contrário, ajuntou todo o seu povo, saiu ao encontro de Israel no deserto e, vindo a Jaza, pelejou contra ele.

But Sihon would not allow Israel to pass through his border. Instead Sihon gathered all his people together and went out against Israel into the wilderness, and came to Jahaz, and he fought against Israel.

24 M as Israel o feriu ao fio da espada, e apoderou-se da sua terra, desde o Arnom até o Jaboque, até os amonitas; porquanto a fronteira dos amonitas era fortificada.

And Israel smote the king of the Amorites with the edge of the sword and possessed his land from the river Arnon to the river Jabbok, as far as the Ammonites, for the boundary of the Ammonites was strong.

25 A ssim Israel tomou todas as cidades dos amorreus e habitou nelas, em Hesbom e em todas as suas aldeias.

And Israel took all these cities and dwelt in all the cities of the Amorites, in Heshbon and in all its towns.

26 P orque Hesbom era a cidade de Siom, rei dos amorreus, que pelejara contra o precedente rei de Moabe, e tomara da mão dele toda a sua terra até o Arnom.

For Heshbon was the city of Sihon king of the Amorites, who had fought against the former king of Moab and taken all his land out of his hand, as far as Arnon.

27 P elo que dizem os que falam por provérbios: Vinde a Hesbom! edifique-se e estabeleça-se a cidade de Siom!

That is why those who sing ballads say, Come to Heshbon, let the city of Sihon be built and established.

28 P orque fogo saiu de Hesbom, e uma chama da cidade de Siom; e devorou a Ar de Moabe, aos senhores dos altos do Arnom.

For fire has gone out of Heshbon, a flame from the city of Sihon; it has devoured Ar of Moab and the lords of the heights of the Arnon.

29 A i de ti, Moabe! perdido estás, povo de Quemós! Entregou seus filhos como fugitivos, e suas filhas como cativas, a Siom, rei dos amorreus.

Woe to you, Moab! You are undone, O people of Chemosh! Moab has given his sons as fugitives and his daughters into captivity to Sihon king of the Amorites.

30 N ós os asseteamos; Hesbom está destruída até Dibom, e os assolamos até Nofá, que se estende até Medeba.

We have shot them down; Heshbon has perished as far as Dibon, and we have laid them waste as far as Nophah, which reaches to Medeba.

31 A ssim habitou Israel na terra dos amorreus.

Thus Israel dwelt in the land of the Amorites.

32 D epois Moisés mandou espiar a Jazer, e tomaram as suas aldeias e expulsaram os amorreus que ali estavam.

And Moses sent to spy out Jazer, and they took its villages and dispossessed the Amorites who were there.

33 E ntão viraram-se, e subiram pelo caminho de Basã. E Ogue, rei de Basã, saiu-lhes ao encontro, ele e todo o seu povo, para lhes dar batalha em Edrei.

Then 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.

34 D isse, pois, o Senhor a Moisés: Não o temas, porque eu to entreguei na mão, a ele, a todo o seu povo, e ã sua terra; e far-lhe-ás como fizeste a Siom, rei dos amorreus, que habitava em Hesbom.

But the Lord said to Moses, Do not fear him, for I have delivered him and all his people and his land into your hand; and you shall do to him as you did to Sihon king of the Amorites, who dwelt at Heshbon.

35 A ssim o feriram, a ele e seus filhos, e a todo o seu povo, até que nenhum lhe ficou restando; também se apoderaram da terra dele.

So the Israelites slew Og and his sons and all his people until there was not one left alive, And they possessed his land.
