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 Canaanite, the king of Arad, who lived in the Negev, heard that Israel was coming by the way of Atharim. He fought against Israel, and took some of them against their will.

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 promise to the Lord, and said, “If You will give this people into my hand, I will destroy every part of 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

The Lord heard the voice of Israel, and gave them the Canaanites. Then Israel destroyed all of them and their cities. So the name of the place was called Hormah. The Brass Snake

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 traveled from Mount Hor by the way of the Red Sea, to go around the land of Edom. And the people wanted to give up because of the long 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.

They spoke against God and Moses, saying, “Why have you brought us up out of Egypt to die in the desert? For there is no food and no water. And we hate this bad food.”

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

Then the Lord sent snakes with a bite of poison among the people. They bit the people, so that many 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.

So the people came to Moses and said, “We have sinned, because we have spoken against the Lord and you. Pray to the Lord, that He will take away the snakes 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.

The Lord said to Moses, “Make a special snake and put it up on a long piece of wood. Everyone who is bitten will live when he looks at it.”

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 brass snake and put it up on the long piece of wood. If a snake bit any man, he would live when he looked at the brass snake. From Mount Hor to Moab

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

The people of Israel traveled on, and set up their tents in Oboth.

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

Then they left Oboth and stopped at Iye-abarim, in the desert beside Moab, to the east.

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

From there they traveled on to Wadi 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.

And from there they traveled on and set up their tents on the other side of the Arnon. It is in the desert that goes out from the land of the Amorites. For the Arnon is the side 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,

So 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 hill-side of the valleys that goes to the place of Ar, and rests on the side 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 on to Beer. That is the well where the Lord said to Moses, “Gather the people together, so I may give them water.”

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

Then Israel sang this song: “Come up, O well! 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, which the leaders dug, which the rulers of the people dug, with the special stick of power and with their walking sticks.” From the desert they went on to Mattanah.

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

From Mattanah they went 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.

From Bamoth they went to the valley in the land of Moab, at the top of Pisgah which looks down upon the desert. Battle with Amorites

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

Then Israel sent men 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 vines. We will not drink water from wells. We will go on the king’s road until we have passed through your country.”

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 let Israel pass through his country. He gathered all his people and went out against Israel in the desert. 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 killed Sihon with the sword. They took his land from the Arnon to the Jabbok, as far as the people of Ammon. For Jazer was the side of the land of the Ammonites.

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

Israel took all these cities. They lived 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. He had fought against the man who was once the king of Moab, and had taken all his land 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!

So those who use wise sayings say, “Come to Heshbon! Let it be built! Let the city of Sihon be built.

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 a fire went out from Heshbon, fire from the city of Sihon. It burned up Ar of Moab, and the lords of the high places 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.

It is bad for you, O Moab! You are destroyed, O people of Chemosh! His sons run for their lives. His daughters have been taken against their will by an Amorite king, Sihon.

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

But we have put them down. Heshbon is destroyed as far as Dibon. We have destroyed even to Nophah, which goes to Medeba.”

31 A ssim habitou Israel na terra dos amorreus.

So Israel lived 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 men to spy out Jazer in secret. And Israel took its towns and took the place of the Amorites who were there. King Og Killed

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. Og the king of Bashan went out with 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 be afraid of him. For I have given him into your hand, with all his people and his land. Do to him as you did to Sihon king of the Amorites who lived 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 people of Israel killed Og and his sons and all his people, until there was not one left alive. And they took his land.
