Juízes 3
|
Now these are the nations which Jehovah left, to prove Israel by them, even as many [of Israel] as had not known all the wars of Canaan; | Estas são as nações que o Senhor deixou ficar para, por meio delas, provar a Israel, a todos os que não haviam experimentado nenhuma das guerras de Canaã; |
only that the generations of the children of Israel might know, to teach them war, at the least such as beforetime knew nothing thereof: | tão-somente para que as gerações dos filhos de Israel delas aprendessem a guerra, pelo menos os que dantes não tinham aprendido. |
[namely], the five lords of the Philistines, and all the Canaanites, and the Sidonians, and the Hivites that dwelt in mount Lebanon, from mount Baal-hermon unto the entrance of Hamath. | Estas nações eram: cinco chefes dos filisteus, todos os cananeus, os sidônios, e os heveus que habitavam no monte Líbano, desde o monte Baal-Hermom até a entrada de Hamate. |
And they were [left], to prove Israel by them, to know whether they would hearken unto the commandments of Jehovah, which he commanded their fathers by Moses. | Estes, pois, deixou ficar, a fim de de por eles provar os filhos de Israel, para saber se dariam ouvidos aos mandamentos do Senhor, que ele tinha ordenado a seus pais por intermédio de Moisés. |
And the children of Israel dwelt among the Canaanites, the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites: | Habitando, pois, os filhos de Israel entre os cananeus, os heteus, os amorreus, os perizeus, os heveus e os jebuseus. |
and they took their daughters to be their wives, and gave their own daughters to their sons and served their gods. | tomaram por mulheres as filhas deles, e deram as suas filhas aos filhos dos mesmos, e serviram aos seus deuses. |
And the children of Israel did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, and forgat Jehovah their God, and served the Baalim and the Asheroth. | Assim os filhos de Israel fizeram o que era mau aos olhos do Senhor, esquecendo-se do Senhor seu Deus e servindo aos baalins e às aserotes. |
Therefore the anger of Jehovah was kindled against Israel, and he sold them into the hand of Cushan-rishathaim king of Mesopotamia: and the children of Israel served Cushan-rishathaim eight years. | Pelo que a ira do Senhor se acendeu contra Israel, e ele os vendeu na mão de cusã-Risataim, rei da Mesopotâmia; e os filhos de Israel serviram a Cusã-Risataim oito anos. |
And when the children of Israel cried unto Jehovah, Jehovah raised up a saviour to the children of Israel, who saved them, even Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother. | Mas quando os filhos de Israel clamaram ao Senhor, o Senhor suscitou-lhes um libertador, que os livrou: Otniel, filho de Quenaz, o irmão mais moço de Calebe. |
And the Spirit of Jehovah came upon him, and he judged Israel; and he went out to war, and Jehovah delivered Cushan-rishathaim king of Mesopotamia into his hand: and his hand prevailed against Cushan-rishathaim. | Veio sobre ele o Espírito do Senhor, e ele julgou a Israel; saiu à peleja, e o Senhor lhe entregou Cusã-Risataim, rei da Mesopotâmia, contra o qual prevaleceu a sua mao: |
And the land had rest forty years. And Othniel the son of Kenaz died. | Então a terra teve sossego por quarenta anos; e Otniel, filho de Quenaz, morreu. |
And the children of Israel again did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah: and Jehovah strengthened Eglon the king of Moab against Israel, because they had done that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah. | Os filhos de Israel tornaram a fazer o que era mau aos olhos do Senhor; então o Senhor fortaleceu a Eglom, rei de Moabe, contra Israel, por terem feito o que era mau aos seus olhos. |
And he gathered unto him the children of Ammon and Amalek; and he went and smote Israel, and they possessed the city of palm-trees. | Eglom, unindo a si os amonitas e os amalequitas, foi e feriu a Israel, tomando a cidade das palmeiras. |
And the children of Israel served Eglon the king of Moab eighteen years. | E os filhos de Israel serviram a Eglom, rei de Moabe, dezoito anos. |
But when the children of Israel cried unto Jehovah, Jehovah raised them up a saviour, Ehud the son of Gera, the Benjamite, a man left-handed. And the children of Israel sent tribute by him unto Eglon the king of Moab. | Mas quando os filhos de Israel clamaram ao Senhor, o Senhor suscitou-lhes um libertador, Eúde, filho de Gêra, benjamita, homem canhoto. E, por seu intermédio, os filhos de Israel enviaram tributo a Eglom, rei de Moabe. |
And Ehud made him a sword which had two edges, a cubit in length; and he girded it under his raiment upon his right thigh. | E Eúde fez para si uma espada de dois gumes, de um côvado de comprimento, e cingiu-a à coxa direita, por baixo das vestes. |
And he offered the tribute unto Eglon king of Moab: now Eglon was a very fat man. | E levou aquele tributo a Eglom, rei de Moabe. Ora, Eglom era muito gordo: |
And when he had made an end of offering the tribute, he sent away the people that bare the tribute. | Quando Eúde acabou de entregar o tributo, despediu a gente que o trouxera. |
But he himself turned back from the quarries that were by Gilgal, and said, I have a secret errand unto thee, O king. And he said, Keep silence. And all that stood by him went out from him. | Ele mesmo, porém, voltou das imagens de escultura que estavam ao pé de Gilgal, e disse: Tenho uma palavra para dizer-te em segredo, ó rei. Disse o rei: Silêncio! E todos os que lhe assistiam saíram da sua presença. |
And Ehud came unto him; and he was sitting by himself alone in the cool upper room. And Ehud said, I have a message from God unto thee. And he arose out of his seat. | Eúde aproximou-se do rei, que estava sentado a sós no seu quarto de verão, e lhe disse: Tenho uma palavra da parte de Deus para dizer-te. Ao que o rei se levantou da sua cadeira. |
And Ehud put forth his left hand, and took the sword from his right thigh, and thrust it into his body: | Então Eúde, estendendo a mão esquerda, tirou a espada de sobre a coxa direita, e lha cravou no ventre. |
and the haft also went in after the blade; and the fat closed upon the blade, for he drew not the sword out of his body; and it came out behind. | O cabo também entrou após a lâmina, e a gordura encerrou a lâmina, pois ele não tirou a espada do ventre: |
Then Ehud went forth into the porch, and shut the doors of the upper room upon him, and locked them. | Então Eúde, saindo ao pórtico, cerrou as portas do quarto e as trancou. |
Now when he was gone out, his servants came; and they saw, and, behold, the doors of the upper room were locked; and they said, Surely he is covering his feet in the upper chamber. | Tendo ele saído vieram os servos do rei; e olharam, e eis que as portas do quarto estavam trancadas. Disseram: Sem dúvida ele está aliviando o ventre na privada do seu quarto. |
And they tarried till they were ashamed; and, behold, he opened not the doors of the upper room: therefore they took the key, and opened [them], and, behold, their lord was fallen down dead on the earth. | Assim esperaram até ficarem alarmados, mas ainda não abria as portas do quarto. Então, tomando a chave, abriram-nas, e eis seu senhor estendido morto por terra. |
And Ehud escaped while they tarried, and passed beyond the quarries, and escaped unto Seirah. | Eúde escapou enquanto eles se demoravam e, tendo passado pelas imagens de escultura, chegou a Seirá. |
And it came to pass, when he was come, that he blew a trumpet in the hill-country of Ephraim; and the children of Israel went down with him from the hill-country, and he before them. | E assim que chegou, tocou a trombeta na região montanhosa de Efraim; e os filhos de Israel, com ele à frente, desceram das montanhas. |
And he said unto them, Follow after me; for Jehovah hath delivered your enemies the Moabites into your hand. And they went down after him, and took the fords of the Jordan against the Moabites, and suffered not a man to pass over. | E disse-lhes: Segui-me, porque o Senhor vos entregou nas mãos os vossos inimigos, os moabitas. E desceram após ele, tomaram os vaus do Jordão contra os moabitas, e não deixaram passar a nenhum deles. |
And they smote of Moab at that time about ten thousand men, every lusty man, and every man of valor; and there escaped not a man. | E naquela ocasião mataram dos moabitas cerca de dez mil homens, todos robustos e valentes; e não escapou nenhum. |
So Moab was subdued that day under the hand of Israel. And the land had rest fourscore years. | Assim foi subjugado Moabe naquele dia debaixo da mão de Israel; e a terra teve sossego por oitenta anos. |
And after him was Shamgar the son of Anath, who smote of the Philistines six hundred men with an ox-goad: and he also saved Israel. | Depois dele levantou-se Sangar, filho de Anate, que matou seiscentos homens dos filisteus com uma aguilhada de bois; ele também libertou a Israel. |
