Números 32

Nova Bíblia Viva

1Quando os israelitas chegaram às terras de Jazar e Gileade, as tribos de Rúben e Gade, que possuíam grandes rebanhos de gado, viram que o lugar era muito bom para a criação de animais.

2Então eles foram a Moisés, ao sacerdote Eleazar, e aos outros líderes do povo, e disseram:

3“Atarote, Dibom, Jazar, Nimra, Hesbom, Eleal, Sebã, Nebo e Beom,

4terras que o Senhor nos entregou perante a comunidade de Israel, é terra excelente para a criação de gado, e os seus servos têm muito gado”.

5E acrescentaram: “Por isso pedimos para ficar com esta terra como herança, em vez de cruzar o rio Jordão”.

6Mas Moisés respondeu às tribos de Rúben e Gade: “E os seus irmãos irão à guerra enquanto vocês ficam aqui?

7Por que vocês desencorajam os israelitas para que não entrem na terra que o Senhor lhes está dando?

8Aliás, os seus pais fizeram a mesma coisa, quando estávamos em Cades-Barneia, quando enviei alguns homens para espionar a terra.

9Quando chegaram até o vale de Escol e viram a terra, desencorajaram o povo para não conquistar a terra que o Senhor nos deu.

10E o Senhor ficou irado naquele dia, e fez o seguinte juramento:

11‘Nenhum dos homens que saíram do Egito com mais de 20 anos de idade verá a terra que prometi a Abraão, Isaque e Jacó.

12Calebe, filho de Jefoné, o quenezeu, e Josué, filho de Num, foram os únicos que continuaram fiéis ao Senhor’.

13Por isso o Senhor ficou irado com Israel e fez o povo andar sem destino durante 40 anos pelo deserto, até que morresse toda aquela geração que tinha desagradado ao Senhor.

14“E agora vocês, multidão de homens pecadores, estão fazendo as mesmas coisas que seus pais fizeram, para aumentar ainda mais a ira do Senhor contra Israel.

15Se vocês deixarem de segui-lo, ele deixará todo o povo outra vez no deserto, e vocês serão culpados pela destruição deles”.

16Então as tribos de Rúben e de Gade se aproximaram de Moisés e disseram: “Construiremos aqui currais para o nosso gado e cidades para os nossos filhos.

17Mas nós nos prepararemos para a guerra, e estaremos prontos para irmos à frente do povo até que o levemos ao seu destino. Porém as nossas crianças morarão em cidades fortificadas para estarem protegidas dos ataques dos habitantes da terra.

18E não voltaremos para os nossos lares até que todo o povo conquiste toda a terra que o Senhor deu como herança.

19Não herdaremos com eles a terra do outro lado do Jordão, pois preferimos ficar aqui, no lado leste do Jordão”.

20Então Moisés disse-lhes: “Está certo. Se vocês se prepararem para a batalha perante o Senhor,

21e se, armados, atravessarem o Jordão perante o Senhor, até que ele tenha expulsado os seus inimigos diante dele,

22e a terra seja conquistada para o Senhor, então vocês poderão voltar para cá e estarão livres da sua obrigação perante o Senhor e perante Israel. E o Senhor dará esta terra como propriedade para vocês.

23“Mas, se vocês não fizerem como prometeram, então estarão pecando contra o Senhor e sofrerão as consequências do seu pecado.

24Construam cidades para as crianças e currais para os seus rebanhos, mas cumpram o que prometeram”.

25Então os homens de Gade e os filhos de Rúben responderam a Moisés: “Nós, seus servos, obedeceremos às ordens do senhor.

26Nossos filhos e nossas mulheres, nossos rebanhos e todos os animais ficarão aqui nas cidades de Gileade,

27mas nós, os seus servos, nos prepararemos para a guerra e atravessaremos para lutar perante o Senhor, de acordo com o que senhor está dizendo”.

28Então Moisés deu a seguinte ordem ao sacerdote Eleazar, a Josué, filho de Num, e aos chefes das famílias das tribos israelitas:

29“Se os homens das tribos de Gade e de Rúben atravessarem armados com vocês o Jordão, perante o Senhor, e vocês tomarem a terra, então vocês devem entregar a eles como propriedade a terra de Gileade.

30Mas, se eles não se prepararem para a guerra e não atravessarem armados com vocês o rio Jordão, então terão de aceitar a herança deles na terra de Canaã”.

31E as tribos de Gade e Rúben responderam: “Faremos o que o Senhor falou aos seus servos.

32Nós atravessaremos armados perante o Senhor e iremos à terra de Canaã, depois tomaremos conta da nossa parte deste lado do rio Jordão”.

33Moisés deu às tribos de Gade e de Rúben e à metade da tribo de Manassés, filho de José, o reino de Seom, rei dos amorreus, e o reino de Ogue, rei de Basã, toda a terra com as suas cidades e o território ao redor delas.

34A tribo de Gade construiu as cidades de Dibom, Atarote, Aroer,

35Atarote-Sofã, Jazar, Jogbeá,

36Bete-Nimra e Bete-Harã. Construíram muralhas ao redor delas e currais para os rebanhos.

37E a tribo de Rúben reconstruiu as seguintes cidades: Hesbom, Eleal, Quiriataim,

38bem como Nebo, Baal-Meom e Sibma. Os israelitas mais tarde mudaram os nomes das cidades que reconstruíram.

39Os descendentes de Maquir, filho de Manassés, foram a Gileade, tomaram a cidade e expulsaram os amorreus que moravam ali.

40Então Moisés deu Gileade a Maquir, descendente de Manassés, e eles passaram a morar ali.

41Jair, descendente de Manassés, conquistou os povoados e mudou o nome da região para Havote-Jair.

42E um homem chamado Noba conquistou a cidade de Quenate com seus povoados, e chamou-a pelo seu nome Noba.

Reina-Valera 1909

1Y LOS hijos de Rubén y los hijos de Gad tenían una muy grande muchedumbre de ganado; los cuales viendo la tierra de Jazer y de Galaad, parecióles el país lugar de ganado.

2Y vinieron los hijos de Gad y los hijos de Rubén, y hablaron á Moisés, y á Eleazar el sacerdote, y á los príncipes de la congregación, diciendo:

3Ataroth, y Dibón, y Jazer, y Nimra, y Hesbón, y Eleale, y Sabán, y Nebo, y Beón,

4La tierra que Jehová hirió delante de la congregación de Israel, es tierra de ganado, y tus siervos tienen ganado.

5Por tanto, dijeron, si hallamos gracia en tus ojos, dése esta tierra á tus siervos en heredad, y no nos hagas pasar el Jordán.

6Y respondió Moisés á los hijos de Gad y á los hijos de Rubén: ¿Vendrán vuestros hermanos á la guerra, y vosotros os quedaréis aquí?

7¿Y por qué prevenís el ánimo de los hijos de Israel, para que no pasen á la tierra que les ha dado Jehová?

8Así hicieron vuestros padres, cuando los envié desde Cades-barnea para que viesen la tierra.

9Que subieron hasta la arroyada de Escol, y después que vieron la tierra, preocuparon el ánimo de los hijos de Israel, para que no viniesen á la tierra que Jehová les había dado.

10Y el furor de Jehová se encendió entonces, y juró diciendo:

11Que no verán los varones que subieron de Egipto de veinte años arriba, la tierra por la cual juré á Abraham, Isaac, y Jacob, por cuanto no fueron perfectos en pos de mí;

12Excepto Caleb, hijo de Jephone Cenezeo, y Josué hijo de Nun, que fueron perfectos en pos de Jehová.

13Y el furor de Jehová se encendió en Israel, é hízolos andar errantes cuarenta años por el desierto, hasta que fué acabada toda aquella generación, que había hecho mal delante de Jehová.

14Y he aquí vosotros habéis sucedido en lugar de vuestros padres, prole de hombres pecadores, para añadir aún á la ira de Jehová contra Israel.

15Si os volviereis de en pos de él, él volverá otra vez á dejaros en el desierto, y destruiréis á todo este pueblo.

16Entonces ellos se llegaron á él y dijeron: Edificaremos aquí majadas para nuestro ganado, y ciudades para nuestros niños;

17Y nosotros nos armaremos, é iremos con diligencia delante de los hijos de Israel, hasta que los metamos en su lugar: y nuestros niños quedarán en ciudades fuertes á causa de los moradores del país.

18No volveremos á nuestras casas hasta que los hijos de Israel posean cada uno su heredad.

19Porque no tomaremos heredad con ellos al otro lado del Jordán ni adelante, por cuanto tendremos ya nuestra heredad de estotra parte del Jordán al oriente.

20Entonces les respondió Moisés: Si lo hiciereis así, si os apercibiereis para ir delante de Jehová á la guerra,

21Y pasareis todos vosotros armados el Jordán delante de Jehová, hasta que haya echado á sus enemigos de delante de sí,

22Y sea el país sojuzgado delante de Jehová; luego volveréis, y seréis libres de culpa para con Jehová, y para con Israel; y esta tierra será vuestra en heredad delante de Jehová.

23Mas si así no lo hiciereis, he aquí habréis pecado á Jehová; y sabed que os alcanzará vuestro pecado.

24Edificaos ciudades para vuestros niños, y majadas para vuestras ovejas, y haced lo que ha salido de vuestra boca.

25Y hablaron los hijos de Gad y los hijos de Rubén á Moisés, diciendo: Tus siervos harán como mi señor ha mandado.

26Nuestros niños, nuestras mujeres, nuestros ganados, y todas nuestras bestias, estarán ahí en las ciudades de Galaad;

27Y tus siervos, armados todos de guerra, pasarán delante de Jehová á la guerra, de la manera que mi señor dice.

28Entonces los encomendó Moisés á Eleazar el sacerdote, y á Josué hijo de Nun, y á los príncipes de los padres de las tribus de los hijos de Israel.

29Y díjoles Moisés: Si los hijos de Gad y los hijos de Rubén, pasaren con vosotros el Jordán, armados todos de guerra delante de Jehová, luego que el país fuere sojuzgado delante de vosotros, les daréis la tierra de Galaad en posesión:

30Mas si no pasaren armados con vosotros, entonces tendrán posesión entre vosotros en la tierra de Canaán.

31Y los hijos de Gad y los hijos de Rubén respondieron, diciendo: Haremos lo que Jehová ha dicho á tus siervos.

32Nosotros pasaremos armados delante de Jehová á la tierra de Canaán, y la posesión de nuestra heredad será de esta parte del Jordán.

33Así les dió Moisés á los hijos de Gad y á los hijos de Rubén, y á la media tribu de Manasés hijo de José, el reino de Sehón rey Amorrheo, y el reino de Og rey de Basán, la tierra con sus ciudades y términos, las ciudades del país alrededor.

34Y los hijos de Gad edificaron á Dibón, y á Ataroth, y á Aroer,

35Y á Atroth-sophan, y á Jazer, y á Jogbaa,

36Y á Beth-nimra, y á Betharán: ciudades fuertes, y también majadas para ovejas.

37Y los hijos de Rubén edificaron á Hesbón, y á Eleale, y á Kiriathaim,

38Y á Nebo, y á Baal-meón, (mudados los nombres), y á Sibma: y pusieron nombres á las ciudades que edificaron.

39Y los hijos de Machîr hijo de Manasés fueron á Galaad, y tomáronla, y echaron al Amorrheo que estaba en ella.

40Y Moisés dió Galaad á Machîr hijo de Manasés, el cual habitó en ella.

41También Jair hijo de Manasés fué y tomó sus aldeas, y púsoles por nombre Havoth-jair.

42Asimismo Noba fué y tomó á Kenath y sus aldeas, y llamóle Noba, conforme á su nombre.

King James Version

1Now the children of Reuben and the children of Gad had a very great multitude of cattle: and when they saw the land of Jazer, and the land of Gilead, that, behold, the place was a place for cattle;

2The children of Gad and the children of Reuben came and spake unto Moses, and to Eleazar the priest, and unto the princes of the congregation, saying,

3Ataroth, and Dibon, and Jazer, and Nimrah, and Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Shebam, and Nebo, and Beon,

4Even the country which the LORD smote before the congregation of Israel, is a land for cattle, and thy servants have cattle:

5Wherefore, said they, if we have found grace in thy sight, let this land be given unto thy servants for a possession, and bring us not over Jordan.

6And Moses said unto the children of Gad and to the children of Reuben, Shall your brethren go to war, and shall ye sit here?

7And wherefore discourage ye the heart of the children of Israel from going over into the land which the LORD hath given them?

8Thus did your fathers, when I sent them from Kadesh-barnea to see the land.

9For when they went up unto the valley of Eshcol, and saw the land, they discouraged the heart of the children of Israel, that they should not go into the land which the LORD had given them.

10And the LORD’s anger was kindled the same time, and he sware, saying,

11Surely none of the men that came up out of Egypt, from twenty years old and upward, shall see the land which I sware unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob; because they have not wholly followed me:

12Save Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite, and Joshua the son of Nun: for they have wholly followed the LORD.

13And the LORD’s anger was kindled against Israel, and he made them wander in the wilderness forty years, until all the generation, that had done evil in the sight of the LORD, was consumed.

14And, behold, ye are risen up in your fathers’ stead, an increase of sinful men, to augment yet the fierce anger of the LORD toward Israel.

15For if ye turn away from after him, he will yet again leave them in the wilderness; and ye shall destroy all this people.

16And they came near unto him, and said, We will build sheepfolds here for our cattle, and cities for our little ones:

17But we ourselves will go ready armed before the children of Israel, until we have brought them unto their place: and our little ones shall dwell in the fenced cities because of the inhabitants of the land.

18We will not return unto our houses, until the children of Israel have inherited every man his inheritance.

19For we will not inherit with them on yonder side Jordan, or forward; because our inheritance is fallen to us on this side Jordan eastward.

20And Moses said unto them, If ye will do this thing, if ye will go armed before the LORD to war,

21And will go all of you armed over Jordan before the LORD, until he hath driven out his enemies from before him,

22And the land be subdued before the LORD: then afterward ye shall return, and be guiltless before the LORD, and before Israel; and this land shall be your possession before the LORD.

23But if ye will not do so, behold, ye have sinned against the LORD: and be sure your sin will find you out.

24Build you cities for your little ones, and folds for your sheep; and do that which hath proceeded out of your mouth.

25And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben spake unto Moses, saying, Thy servants will do as my lord commandeth.

26Our little ones, our wives, our flocks, and all our cattle, shall be there in the cities of Gilead:

27But thy servants will pass over, every man armed for war, before the LORD to battle, as my lord saith.

28So concerning them Moses commanded Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the chief fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel:

29And Moses said unto them, If the children of Gad and the children of Reuben will pass with you over Jordan, every man armed to battle, before the LORD, and the land shall be subdued before you; then ye shall give them the land of Gilead for a possession:

30But if they will not pass over with you armed, they shall have possessions among you in the land of Canaan.

31And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben answered, saying, As the LORD hath said unto thy servants, so will we do.

32We will pass over armed before the LORD into the land of Canaan, that the possession of our inheritance on this side Jordan may be ours.

33And Moses gave unto them, even to the children of Gad, and to the children of Reuben, and unto half the tribe of Manasseh the son of Joseph, the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, and the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, the land, with the cities thereof in the coasts, even the cities of the country round about.

34And the children of Gad built Dibon, and Ataroth, and Aroer,

35And Atroth, Shophan, and Jaazer, and Jogbehah,

36And Beth-nimrah, and Beth-haran, fenced cities: and folds for sheep.

37And the children of Reuben built Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Kirjathaim,

38And Nebo, and Baal-meon, (their names being changed,) and Shibmah: and gave other names unto the cities which they builded.

39And the children of Machir the son of Manasseh went to Gilead, and took it, and dispossessed the Amorite which was in it.

40And Moses gave Gilead unto Machir the son of Manasseh; and he dwelt therein.

41And Jair the son of Manasseh went and took the small towns thereof, and called them Havoth-jair.

42And Nobah went and took Kenath, and the villages thereof, and called it Nobah, after his own name.

World English Bible

1Now the children of Reuben and the children of Gad had a very great multitude of livestock. They saw the land of Jazer, and the land of Gilead. Behold, the place was a place for livestock.

2Then the children of Gad and the children of Reuben came and spoke to Moses, and to Eleazar the priest, and to the princes of the congregation, saying,

3“Ataroth, Dibon, Jazer, Nimrah, Heshbon, Elealeh, Sebam, Nebo, and Beon,

4the land which the LORD struck before the congregation of Israel, is a land for livestock; and your servants have livestock.”

5They said, “If we have found favor in your sight, let this land be given to your servants for a possession. Don’t bring us over the Jordan.”

6Moses said to the children of Gad, and to the children of Reuben, “Shall your brothers go to war while you sit here?

7Why do you discourage the heart of the children of Israel from going over into the land which the LORD has given them?

8Your fathers did so when I sent them from Kadesh Barnea to see the land.

9For when they went up to the valley of Eshcol, and saw the land, they discouraged the heart of the children of Israel, that they should not go into the land which the LORD had given them.

10The LORD’s anger burned in that day, and he swore, saying,

11‘Surely none of the men who came up out of Egypt, from twenty years old and upward, shall see the land which I swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob; because they have not wholly followed me,

12except Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, and Joshua the son of Nun, because they have followed the LORD completely.’

13The LORD’s anger burned against Israel, and he made them wander back and forth in the wilderness forty years, until all the generation who had done evil in the LORD’s sight was consumed.

14“Behold, you have risen up in your fathers’ place, an increase of sinful men, to increase the fierce anger of the LORD toward Israel.

15For if you turn away from after him, he will yet again leave them in the wilderness; and you will destroy all these people.”

16They came near to him, and said, “We will build sheepfolds here for our livestock, and cities for our little ones;

17but we ourselves will be ready armed to go before the children of Israel, until we have brought them to their place. Our little ones shall dwell in the fortified cities because of the inhabitants of the land.

18We will not return to our houses until the children of Israel have all received their inheritance.

19For we will not inherit with them on the other side of the Jordan and beyond, because our inheritance has come to us on this side of the Jordan eastward.”

20Moses said to them: “If you will do this thing, if you will arm yourselves to go before the LORD to the war,

21and every one of your armed men will pass over the Jordan before the LORD until he has driven out his enemies from before him,

22and the land is subdued before the LORD; then afterward you shall return, and be clear of obligation to the LORD and to Israel. Then this land shall be your possession before the LORD.

23“But if you will not do so, behold, you have sinned against the LORD; and be sure your sin will find you out.

24Build cities for your little ones, and folds for your sheep; and do that which has proceeded out of your mouth.”

25The children of Gad and the children of Reuben spoke to Moses, saying, “Your servants will do as my lord commands.

26Our little ones, our wives, our flocks, and all our livestock shall be there in the cities of Gilead;

27but your servants will pass over, every man who is armed for war, before the LORD to battle, as my lord says.”

28So Moses commanded concerning them to Eleazar the priest, and to Joshua the son of Nun, and to the heads of the fathers’ households of the tribes of the children of Israel.

29Moses said to them, “If the children of Gad and the children of Reuben will pass with you over the Jordan, every man who is armed to battle before the LORD, and the land is subdued before you, then you shall give them the land of Gilead for a possession;

30but if they will not pass over with you armed, they shall have possessions among you in the land of Canaan.”

31The children of Gad and the children of Reuben answered, saying, “As the LORD has said to your servants, so will we do.

32We will pass over armed before the LORD into the land of Canaan, and the possession of our inheritance shall remain with us beyond the Jordan.”

33Moses gave to them, even to the children of Gad, and to the children of Reuben, and to the half-tribe of Manasseh the son of Joseph, the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, and the kingdom of Og king of Bashan; the land, according to its cities and borders, even the cities of the surrounding land.

34The children of Gad built Dibon, Ataroth, Aroer,

35Atroth-shophan, Jazer, Jogbehah,

36Beth Nimrah, and Beth Haran: fortified cities and folds for sheep.

37The children of Reuben built Heshbon, Elealeh, Kiriathaim,

38Nebo, and Baal Meon, (their names being changed), and Sibmah. They gave other names to the cities which they built.

39The children of Machir the son of Manasseh went to Gilead, took it, and dispossessed the Amorites who were therein.

40Moses gave Gilead to Machir the son of Manasseh; and he lived therein.

41Jair the son of Manasseh went and took its villages, and called them Havvoth Jair.

42Nobah went and took Kenath and its villages, and called it Nobah, after his own name.
