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.

The king of Arad, the Canaanite, who dwelt in the South, heard that Israel was coming on the road to Atharim. Then he fought against Israel and took some of them prisoners.

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

So Israel made 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 listened to the voice of Israel and delivered up the Canaanites, and they utterly destroyed them and their cities. So the name of that place was called Hormah. The Bronze Serpent

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.

Then they journeyed from Mount Hor by the Way of the Red Sea, to go around the land of Edom; and the soul of the people became very discouraged on 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 up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? For there is no food and no water, and our soul loathes this worthless bread.”

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

So the Lord sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and many of the people of Israel 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.

Therefore 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 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.

Then the Lord said to Moses, “Make a fiery serpent, and set it on a pole; and it shall be that 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.

So Moses made a bronze serpent, and put it on a pole; and so it was, if a serpent had bitten anyone, when he looked at the bronze serpent, he lived. From Mount Hor to Moab

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

Now the children of Israel moved on and camped in Oboth.

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

And they journeyed from Oboth and camped at Ije Abarim, in the wilderness which is east of Moab, toward the sunrise.

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

From there they moved and camped in the Valley of Zered.

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 moved and camped on the other side of the Arnon, which is in the wilderness that extends from the border of the Amorites; for the Arnon is the border 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,

Therefore it is said in the Book of the Wars of the Lord: “Waheb in Suphah, The brooks 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 brooks That reaches to the dwelling of Ar, And lies 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 they went to Beer, which is the well where the Lord said to Moses, “Gather 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! All of you 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 well the leaders sank, Dug by the nation’s nobles, By the lawgiver, with their staves.” And from the wilderness they went to Mattanah,

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

from Mattanah to Nahaliel, 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, in the valley that is in the country of Moab, to the top of Pisgah which looks down on the wasteland. King Sihon Defeated

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

Then 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 fields or vineyards; we will not drink water from wells. We will go by the King’s Highway until we have passed through your territory.”

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 territory. So Sihon gathered all his people together and went out against Israel in the wilderness, and he came to Jahaz and 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.

Then Israel defeated him with the edge of the sword, and took possession of his land from the Arnon to the Jabbok, as far as the people of Ammon; for the border of the people of Ammon was fortified.

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

So Israel took all these cities, and Israel dwelt in all the cities of the Amorites, in Heshbon and in all its villages.

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 had taken all his land from his hand as far as the Arnon.

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

Therefore those who speak in proverbs say: “Come to Heshbon, let it be built; Let the city of Sihon be repaired.

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 went out from Heshbon, A flame from the city of Sihon; It consumed Ar of Moab, 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 have perished, O people of Chemosh! He 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.

“But we have shot at them; Heshbon has perished as far as Dibon. Then we laid 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.

Then Moses sent to spy out Jazer; and they took its villages and drove out the Amorites who were there. King Og Defeated

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.

And they turned and went up by the way to Bashan. So Og 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.

Then the Lord said to Moses, “Do not fear him, for I have delivered him into your hand, with all his people and his land; 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 they defeated him, his sons, and all his people, until there was no survivor left him; and they took possession of his land.
