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.

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 este voto ao Senhor: “Se entregares este povo em nossas mãos, destruiremos 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 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 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 P artiram eles do monte Hor pelo caminho do mar Vermelho, para contornarem a terra de Edom. Mas o povo ficou impaciente no 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 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 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 enviou serpentes venenosas que morderam o povo, e muitos morreram.

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

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 O Senhor disse a Moisés: “Faça uma serpente e coloque-a no alto de um poste; quem for mordido e 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 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

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 O s israelitas partiram e acamparam em Obote.

Now the children of Israel moved on and camped 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 camped at Ije Abarim, in the wilderness which is east of Moab, toward the sunrise.

12 D ali partiram e acamparam no vale de Zerede.

From there they moved and camped 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 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 É por isso que se diz no Livro das Guerras do Senhor: “... Vaebe, em Sufá, e os vales, o Arnom

Therefore it is said in the Book of the Wars of the Lord: “Waheb in Suphah, The brooks 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 brooks That reaches to the dwelling of Ar, And lies on 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”.

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 esta canção: “Brote água, ó poço! Cantem a seu respeito,

Then Israel sang this song: “Spring up, O well! All of you sing to 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 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 Mataná para Naaliel, de Naaliel para Bamote,

from Mattanah to Nahaliel, 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, 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 I srael enviou mensageiros para dizer a Seom, rei dos amorreus:

Then Israel sent messengers to 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 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 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.

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 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.

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

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

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

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

28 “ Fogo saiu de Hesbom, uma chama da cidade de Seom; consumiu Ar, de Moabe, os senhores do alto 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 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 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 “ Mas nós os derrotamos; Hesbom está destruída por todo o caminho até Dibom. Nós os arrasamos até Nofá, e 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 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.

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

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 to Bashan. So Og 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”.

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 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 defeated him, his sons, and all his people, until there was no survivor left him; and they took possession of his land.
