1 Q uando o rei cananeu de Arade, que vivia no Neguebe, soube que Israel vinha pela estrada de Atarim, atacou os israelitas e capturou alguns deles.

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.

2 E ntão Israel fez este voto ao Senhor: “Se entregares este povo em nossas mãos, destruiremos totalmente as suas cidades”.

And Israel vowed a vow unto Jehovah, and said, If thou wilt indeed deliver this people into my hand, then I will utterly destroy their cities.

3 O Senhor ouviu o pedido de Israel e lhes entregou os cananeus. Israel os destruiu completamente, a eles e às suas cidades; de modo que o lugar foi chamado Hormá. A Serpente de Bronze

And Jehovah 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.

4 P artiram eles do monte Hor pelo caminho do mar Vermelho, para contornarem a terra de Edom. Mas o povo ficou impaciente no caminho

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 was much discouraged because of the way.

5 e falou contra Deus e contra Moisés, dizendo: “Por que vocês nos tiraram do Egito para morrermos no deserto? Não há pão! Não há água! E nós detestamos esta comida miserável!”

And the people spake 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.

6 E ntão o Senhor enviou serpentes venenosas que morderam o povo, e muitos morreram.

And Jehovah sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died.

7 O povo foi a Moisés e disse: “Pecamos quando falamos contra o Senhor e contra você. Ore pedindo ao Senhor que tire as serpentes do meio de nós”. E Moisés orou pelo povo.

And the people came to Moses, and said, We have sinned, because we have spoken against Jehovah, and against thee; pray unto Jehovah, that he take away the serpents from us. And Moses prayed for the people.

8 O Senhor disse a Moisés: “Faça uma serpente e coloque-a no alto de um poste; quem for mordido e olhar para ela viverá”.

And Jehovah said unto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a standard: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he seeth it, shall live.

9 M oisés fez então uma serpente de bronze e a colocou num poste. Quando alguém era mordido por uma serpente e olhava para a serpente de bronze, permanecia vivo. A Viagem para Moabe

And Moses made a serpent of brass, and set it upon the standard: and it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he looked unto the serpent of brass, he lived.

10 O s israelitas partiram e acamparam em Obote.

And the children of Israel journeyed, and encamped in Oboth.

11 D epois partiram de Obote e acamparam em Ijé-Abarim, no deserto defronte de Moabe, ao leste.

And they journeyed from Oboth, and encamped at Iyeabarim, in the wilderness which is before Moab, toward the sunrising.

12 D ali partiram e acamparam no vale de Zerede.

From thence they journeyed, and encamped in the valley of Zered.

13 P artiram dali e acamparam do outro lado do Arnom, que fica no deserto que se estende até o território amorreu. O Arnom é a fronteira de Moabe, entre Moabe e os amorreus.

From thence they journeyed, and encamped on the other side of the Arnon, which is in the wilderness, that cometh out of the border of the Amorites: for the Arnon is the border of Moab, between Moab and the Amorites.

14 É por isso que se diz no Livro das Guerras do Senhor: “... Vaebe, em Sufá, e os vales, o Arnom

Wherefore it is said in the book of the Wars of Jehovah, Vaheb in Suphah, And the valleys of the Arnon,

15 e as ravinas dos vales que se estendem até a cidade de Ar e chegam até a fronteira de Moabe”.

And the slope of the valleys That inclineth toward the dwelling of Ar, And leaneth upon the border of Moab.

16 D e lá prosseguiram até Beer, o poço onde o Senhor disse a Moisés: “Reúna o povo, e eu lhe darei água”.

And from thence they journeyed to Beer: that is the well whereof Jehovah said unto Moses, Gather the people together, and I will give them water.

17 E ntão Israel cantou esta canção: “Brote água, ó poço! Cantem a seu respeito,

Then sang Israel this song: Spring up, O well; sing ye unto it:

18 a respeito do poço que os líderes cavaram, que os nobres abriram com cetros e cajados”. Então saíram do deserto para Mataná,

The well, which the princes digged, Which the nobles of the people delved, With the sceptre, and with their staves. And from the wilderness they journeyed to Mattanah;

19 d e Mataná para Naaliel, de Naaliel para Bamote,

and from Mattanah to Nahaliel; and from Nahaliel to Bamoth;

20 e de Bamote para o vale de Moabe, onde o topo do Pisga defronta com o deserto de Jesimom. A Vitória sobre Seom e Ogue

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

21 I srael enviou mensageiros para dizer a Seom, rei dos amorreus:

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

22 “ Deixa-nos atravessar a tua terra. Não entraremos em nenhuma plantação, em nenhuma vinha, nem beberemos água de poço algum. Passaremos pela estrada do rei até que tenhamos atravessado o teu território”.

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.

23 S eom, porém, não deixou Israel atravessar o seu território. Convocou todo o seu exército e atacou Israel no deserto. Quando chegou a Jaza, lutou contra Israel.

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.

24 P orém Israel o destruiu com a espada e tomou-lhe as terras desde o Arnom até o Jaboque, até o território dos amonitas, pois Jazar estava na fronteira dos amonitas.

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.

25 I srael capturou todas as cidades dos amorreus e as ocupou, inclusive Hesbom e todos os seus povoados.

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

26 H esbom era a cidade de Seom, rei dos amorreus, que havia lutado contra o antigo rei de Moabe, tendo tomado todas as suas terras até o Arnom.

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.

27 É por isso que os poetas dizem: “Venham a Hesbom! Seja ela reconstruída; seja restaurada a cidade de Seom!

Wherefore they that speak in proverbs say, Come ye to Heshbon; Let the city of Sihon be built and established:

28 “ Fogo saiu de Hesbom, uma chama da cidade de Seom; consumiu Ar, de Moabe, os senhores do alto Arnom.

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 the Arnon.

29 A i de você, Moabe! Você está destruído, ó povo de Camos! Ele fez de seus filhos, fugitivos, e de suas filhas, prisioneiras de Seom, rei dos amorreus.

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.

30 “ Mas nós os derrotamos; Hesbom está destruída por todo o caminho até Dibom. Nós os arrasamos até Nofá, e até Medeba”.

We have shot at them; Heshbon is perished even unto Dibon, And we have laid waste even unto Nophah, Which reacheth unto Medeba.

31 A ssim Israel habitou na terra dos amorreus.

Thus Israel dwelt in the land of the Amorites.

32 M oisés enviou espiões a Jazar, e os israelitas tomaram os povoados ao redor e expulsaram os amorreus que ali estavam.

And Moses sent to spy out Jazer; and they took the towns thereof, and drove out the Amorites that were there.

33 D epois voltaram e subiram pelo caminho de Basã, e Ogue, rei de Basã, com todo o seu exército, marchou para enfrentá-los em Edrei.

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.

34 M as o Senhor disse a Moisés: “Não tenha medo dele, pois eu o entreguei a você, juntamente com todo o seu exército e com a sua terra. Você fará com ele o que fez com Seom, rei dos amorreus, que habitava em Hesbom”.

And Jehovah 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.

35 E ntão eles o derrotaram, bem como os seus filhos e todo o seu exército, não lhes deixando sobrevivente algum. E tomaram posse da terra dele.

So they smote him, and his sons and all his people, until there was none left him remaining: and they possessed his land.
