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 Canaanite, the king of Arad, who lived in the South, heard that Israel came by the way of Atharim. 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”.

Israel vowed a vow to Yahweh, 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

Yahweh listened to the voice of Israel, and delivered up the Canaanites; and they utterly destroyed them and their cities. The name of the place was called Hormah.

They traveled from Mount Hor by the way to the Red Sea, to go around the land of Edom The soul of the people was very discouraged because of the journey.

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!”

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 bread, and there is no water; and our soul loathes this light bread.”

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

Yahweh sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people. Many 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.

The people came to Moses, and said, “We have sinned, because we have spoken against Yahweh, and against you. Pray to Yahweh, that he take away the serpents from us.” 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”.

Yahweh said to Moses, “Make a fiery serpent, and set it on a pole. It shall happen, that everyone who is bitten, when he sees 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

Moses made a serpent of brass, and set it on the pole. If a serpent had bitten any man, when he looked at the serpent of brass, he lived.

10 O s israelitas partiram e acamparam em Obote.

The children of Israel traveled, and encamped in Oboth.

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

12 D ali partiram e acamparam no vale de Zerede.

From there they traveled, 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 there they traveled, and encamped on the other side of the Arnon, which is in the wilderness, that comes 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

Therefore it is said in the book of the Wars of Yahweh, “Vaheb in Suphah, 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”.

the slope of the valleys that incline toward the dwelling of Ar, leans 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 traveled to Beer; that is the well of which Yahweh 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, well! 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, which the princes dug, which the nobles of the people dug, with the scepter, and with their poles.” From the wilderness they traveled 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 looks down on the desert.

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

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 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 your 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.

Sihon would not allow 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. 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.

Israel struck him with the edge of the sword, and possessed his land from the Arnon to the Jabbok, even to 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.

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

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 to 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 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 has gone out of Heshbon, a flame from the city of Sihon. It has 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 you, Moab! You are undone, 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”.

We have shot at them. Heshbon has perished even to Dibon. We have laid waste even to Nophah, Which reaches to Medeba.”

31 A ssim Israel habitou na terra dos amorreus.

Thus Israel lived 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.

Moses sent to spy out Jazer. They took its towns, and drove out the Amorites who 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.

They turned and went up by the way of Bashan. 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”.

Yahweh said to Moses, “Don’t fear him, for I have delivered him into your hand, with all his people, and his land. You shall do to him as you did to Sihon king of the Amorites, who lived 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 struck him, with his sons and all his people, until there were no survivors; and they possessed his land.
