Números 21

SAGRADA BIBLIA	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 O rei cananeu Arad, que habitava no Negeb, soube que Israel avançava pelo caminho de Atarim; atacou-o e levou alguns deles prisioneiros.	1 And when king Arad the Canaanite, which dwelt in the south, heard tell that Israel came by the way of the spies; then he fought against Israel, and took some of them prisoners.
2 Então Israel fez ao Senhor este voto: se me entregardes nas mãos esse povo, votarei as suas cidades ao interdito.	2 And Israel vowed a vow unto the LORD, and said, If thou wilt indeed deliver this people into my hand, then I will utterly destroy their cities.
3 O Senhor ouviu os rogos de Israel e entregou-lhe os cananeus, que foram votados ao interdito juntamente com as suas cidades. Deu-se a esse lugar o nome de Horma.	3 And the LORD hearkened to the voice of Israel, and delivered up the Canaanites; and they utterly destroyed them and their cities: and he called the name of the place Hormah.
4 Partiram do monte Hor na direção do mar Vermelho, para contornar a terra de Edom.	4 And they journeyed from mount Hor by the way of the Red sea, to compass the land of Edom: and the soul of the people was much discouraged because of the way.
5 Mas o povo perdeu a coragem no caminho, e começou a murmurar contra Deus e contra Moisés: "Por que, diziam eles, nos tirastes do Egito, para morrermos no deserto onde não há pão nem água? Estamos enfastiados deste miserável alimento."	5 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, neither is there any water; and our soul loatheth this light bread.
6 Então o Senhor enviou contra o povo serpentes ardentes, que morderam e mataram muitos.	6 And the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died.
7 O povo veio a Moisés e disse-lhe: "Pecamos, murmurando contra o Senhor e contra ti. Roga ao Senhor que afaste de nós essas serpentes." Moisés intercedeu pelo povo,	7 Therefore the people came to Moses, and said, We have sinned, for we have spoken against the LORD, and against thee; pray unto the LORD, that he take away the serpents from us. And Moses prayed for the people.
8 e o Senhor disse a Moisés: "Faze para ti uma serpente ardente e mete-a sobre um poste. Todo o que for mordido, olhando para ela, será salvo."	8 And the LORD said unto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looketh upon it, shall live.
9 Moisés fez, pois, uma serpente de bronze, e fixou-a sobre um poste. Se alguém era mordido por uma serpente e olhava para a serpente de bronze, conservava a vida.	9 And Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a pole, and it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he beheld the serpent of brass, he lived.
10 Os filhos de Israel partiram e acamparam em Obot.	10 And the children of Israel set forward, and pitched in Oboth.
11 Deixaram Obot e acamparam em Ijé-Abarim, no deserto que está defronte de Moab, ao oriente.	11 And they journeyed from Oboth, and pitched at Ije-abarim, in the wilderness which is before Moab, toward the sunrising.
12 Dali foram para o vale de Zared.	12 From thence they removed, and pitched in the valley of Zared.
13 Saindo de Zared, acamparam para além do Arnon, no deserto, nos limites do território dos amorreus. O Arnon, com efeito, serve de fronteira entre Moab e os amorreus.	13 From thence they removed, and pitched on the other side of Arnon, which is in the wilderness that cometh out of the coasts of the Amorites: for Arnon is the border of Moab, between Moab and the Amorites.
14 É por isso que se diz no Livro das Guerras do Senhor: "Vaeb em Sufa, e as torrentes do Arnon,	14 Wherefore it is said in the book of the wars of the LORD, What he did in the Red sea, and in the brooks of Arnon,
15 e o declive dos vales que se inclina para o sítio de Ar, e se apóia na fronteira de Moab..."	15 And at the stream of the brooks that goeth down to the dwelling of Ar, and lieth upon the border of Moab.
16 Partindo dali, ganharam Beer, que é o poço a respeito do qual o Senhor disse a Moisés: "Reúne o povo, para que eu lhe dê água."	16 And from thence they went to Beer: that is the well whereof the LORD spake unto Moses, Gather the people together, and I will give them water.
17 Então cantou Israel este cântico:	17 Then Israel sang this song, Spring up, O well; sing ye unto it:
18 "Brota, ó poço; cantai-o! Poço cavado por príncipes, furado pelos grandes do povo com o cetro, com os seus bastões!"	18 The princes digged the well, the nobles of the people digged it, by the direction of the lawgiver, with their staves. And from the wilderness they went to Mattanah:
19 Do deserto foram a Matana; de Matana a Naaliel; de Naaliel a Bamot;	19 And from Mattanah to Nahaliel: and from Nahaliel to Bamoth:
20 de Bamot ao vale que está nos campos de Moab, no cimo do Fasga, que domina o deserto.	20 And from Bamoth in the valley, that is in the country of Moab, to the top of Pisgah, which looketh toward Jeshimon.
21 Israel mandou mensageiros a Seon, rei dos amorreus, para lhe dizer:	21 And Israel sent messengers unto Sihon king of the Amorites, saying,
22 "Permite-nos passar pela tua terra; não nos desviaremos nem para os campos, nem para as vinhas, e não beberemos a água dos poços; mas seguiremos a estrada real até que tenhamos atravessado tuas fronteiras."	22 Let me pass through thy land: we will not turn into the fields, or into the vineyards; we will not drink of the waters of the well: but we will go along by the king's high way, until we be past thy borders.
23 Seon, porém, não quis permitir que Israel passasse pelo seu território; ajuntou suas tropas e partiu ao encontro de Israel no deserto. Veio a Jasa e combateu contra Israel.	23 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 he came to Jahaz, and fought against Israel.
24 Israel o feriu com o fio da espada, e apoderou-se de toda a sua terra, desde o Arnon até o Jaboc, fronteira dos amonitas, porque esta fronteira era poderosa.	24 And Israel smote him with the edge of the sword, and possessed his land from Arnon unto Jabbok, even unto the children of Ammon: for the border of the children of Ammon was strong.
25 Israel tomou todas as cidades dos amorreus e estabeleceu-se em Hesebon e nas suas aldeias.	25 And Israel took all these cities: and Israel dwelt in all the cities of the Amorites, in Heshbon, and in all the villages thereof.
26 Hesebon era a cidade de Seon, rei dos amorreus, o qual tinha feito guerra ao rei precedente de Moab e tinha-lhe tomado toda a sua terra até o Arnon.	26 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 Arnon.
27 Por isso os poetas dizem: "Vinde a Hesebon! Vai ser reconstruída, vai ser fortificada a cidade de Seon!	27 Wherefore they that speak in proverbs say, Come into Heshbon, let the city of Sihon be built and prepared:
28 Porque um fogo saiu de Hesebon, uma chama, da cidade de Seon, e devorou Ar-Moab e os Baal das alturas do Arnon.	28 For there is a fire gone out of Heshbon, a flame from the city of Sihon: it hath consumed Ar of Moab, and the lords of the high places of Arnon.
29 Ai de ti, Moab! Estás perdido, povo de Camos! Entregaram seus filhos fugitivos e suas filhas cativas a Seon, rei dos amorreus.	29 Woe to thee, Moab! thou art undone, O people of Chemosh: he hath given his sons that escaped, and his daughters, into captivity unto Sihon king of the Amorites.
30 Nós os crivamos de flechas; Hesebon está destruída até Dibon. Devastamos até Nofé, incendiamos até Medaba."	30 We have shot at them; Heshbon is perished even unto Dibon, and we have laid them waste even unto Nophah, which reacheth unto Medeba.
31 Israel estabeleceu-se na terra dos amorreus.	31 Thus Israel dwelt in the land of the Amorites.
32 Moisés enviou exploradores a Jaser, e os israelitas tomaram-na juntamente com suas aldeias, expulsando os amorreus que aí se encontravam.	32 And Moses sent to spy out Jaazer, and they took the villages thereof, and drove out the Amorites that were there.
33 Depois mudaram de direção, e subiram pelo caminho de Basã. Og, rei de Basã, foi-lhes ao encontro com todo o seu povo, para combatê-los em Edrai.	33 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 the battle at Edrei.
34 "Não o temas, disse o Senhor a Moisés, porque vou entregá-lo em tuas mãos, ele, o seu exército e a sua terra; tratá-lo-ás como trataste Seon, rei dos amorreus, que morava em Hesebon."	34 And the LORD 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, which dwelt at Heshbon.
35 Feriram-no, pois, ele, seus filhos e todo o seu povo, de sorte que não ficou um sequer; e apoderaram-se de sua terra.	35 So they smote him, and his sons, and all his people, until there was none left him alive: and they possessed his land.
