Juízes 21	Judges 21
Juízes 21:1 Ora, os homens de Israel tinham jurado em Mizpá dizendo: Nenhum de nós dará sua filha por mulher aos benjamitas.	Judges 21:1 Now the men of Israel had taken an oath in Mizpah, saying, Not one of us will give his daughter as a wife to Benjamin.
Juízes 21:2 Veio, pois, o povo a Betel, e ali ficou sentado até a tarde, diante de Deus; e todos, levantando a voz, fizeram grande pranto,	Judges 21:2 And the people came to Beth-el, waiting there till evening before God, and gave themselves up to bitter weeping.
Juízes 21:3 e disseram: Ah! Senhor Deus de Israel, por que sucedeu isto, que falte uma tribo em Israel?	Judges 21:3 And they said, O Lord, the God of Israel, why has this fate come on Israel, that today one tribe has been cut off from Israel?
Juízes 21:4 No dia seguinte o povo levantou-se de manhã cedo, edificou ali um altar e ofereceu holocaustos e ofertas pacíficas.	Judges 21:4 Then on the day after, the people got up early and made an altar there, offering burned offerings and peace-offerings.
Juízes 21:5 E disseram os filhos de Israel: Quem dentre todas as tribos de Israel não subiu à assembléia diante do Senhor? Porque se tinha feito um juramento solene acerca daquele que não subisse ao Senhor em Mizpá, dizendo: Certamente será morto.	Judges 21:5 And the children of Israel said, Who is there among all the tribes of Israel, who did not come up to the Lord at the meeting of all Israel? For they had taken a great oath that whoever did not come up to Mizpah to the Lord was to be put to death.
Juízes 21:6 E os filhos de Israel tiveram pena de Benjamim, seu irmão, e disseram: Hoje é cortada de Israel uma tribo.	Judges 21:6 And the children of Israel were moved with pity for Benjamin their brother, saying, Today one tribe has been cut off from Israel.
Juízes 21:7 Como havemos de conseguir mulheres para os que restam deles, desde que juramos pelo Senhor que nenhuma de nossas filhas lhes daríamos por mulher?	Judges 21:7 What are we to do about wives for those who are still living? For we have taken an oath by the Lord that we will not give them our daughters for wives.
Juízes 21:8 Então disseram: Quem é que dentre as tribos de Israel não subiu ao Senhor em Mizpá? E eis que ninguém de Jabes-Gileade viera ao arraial, à assembléia.	Judges 21:8 And they said, Which one of the tribes of Israel did not come up to Mizpah to the Lord? And it was seen that no one had come from Jabesh-gilead to the meeting.
Juízes 21:9 Porquanto, ao contar-se o povo, nenhum dos habitantes de Jabes-Gileade estava ali.	Judges 21:9 For when the people were numbered, not one man of the people of Jabesh-gilead was present.
Juízes 21:10 Pelo que a congregação enviou para lá doze mil homens dos mais valorosos e lhes ordenou, dizendo: Ide, e passai ao fio da espada os habitantes de Jabes-Gileade, juntamente com as mulheres e os pequeninos.	Judges 21:10 So they (the meeting) sent twelve thousand of the best fighting-men, and gave them orders, saying, Go and put the people of Jabesh-gilead to the sword without mercy, with their women and their little ones.
Juízes 21:11 Mas isto é o que haveis de fazer: A todo homem e a toda mulher que tiver conhecido homem, totalmente destruireis.	Judges 21:11 And this is what you are to do: every male, and every woman who has had sex relations with a man, you are to put to the curse, but you are to keep safe the virgins. And they did so.
Juízes 21:12 E acharam entre os moradores de Jabes-Gileade quatrocentas moças virgens, que não tinham conhecido homem, e as trouxeram ao arraial em Siló, que está na terra de Canaã.	Judges 21:12 Now there were among the people of Jabesh-gilead four hundred young virgins who had never had sex relations with a man; these they took to their tents in Shiloh in the land of Canaan.
Juízes 21:13 Toda a congregação enviou mensageiros aos filhos de Benjamim, que estavam na penha de Rimom, e lhes proclamou a paz.	Judges 21:13 And all the meeting sent to the men of Benjamin who were in the rock of Rimmon, offering them peace.
Juízes 21:14 Então voltaram os benjamitas, e os de Israel lhes deram as mulheres que haviam guardado com vida, das mulheres de Jabes-Gileade; porém estas ainda não lhes bastaram.	Judges 21:14 Then Benjamin came back; and they gave them the women whom they had kept from death among the women of Jabesh-gilead: but still there were not enough for them.
Juízes 21:15 E o povo teve pena de Benjamim, porquanto o Senhor tinha aberto uma brecha nas tribos de Israel.	Judges 21:15 And the people were moved with pity for Benjamin, because the Lord had let his wrath loose on the tribes of Israel.
Juízes 21:16 Disseram, pois os anciãos da congregação: Como havemos de conseguir mulheres para os que restam, pois que foram destruídas as mulheres de Benjamim?	Judges 21:16 Then the responsible men of the meeting said, What are we to do about wives for the rest of them, seeing that the women of Benjamin are dead?
Juízes 21:17 Disseram mais: Deve haver uma herança para os que restam de Benjamim, para que uma tribo não seja apagada de Israel.	Judges 21:17 And they said, How is the rest of Benjamin to be given offspring so that one tribe of Israel may not be put out of existence,
Juízes 21:18 Contudo nós não lhes poderemos dar mulheres dentre nossas filhas. Pois os filhos de Israel tinham jurado, dizendo: Maldito aquele que der mulher aos benjamitas.	Judges 21:18 Seeing that we may not give them our daughters as wives? For the children of Israel had taken an oath, saying, Cursed is he who gives a wife to Benjamin.
Juízes 21:19 Disseram então: Eis que de ano em ano se realiza a festa do Senhor em Siló que está ao norte de Betel, a leste do caminho que sobe de Betel a Siquém, e ao sul de Lebona.	Judges 21:19 And they said, See, every year there is a feast of the Lord in Shiloh, which is to the north of Beth-el, on the east side of the highway which goes up from Beth-el to Shechem, and on the south of Lebonah.
Juízes 21:20 Ordenaram, pois, aos filhos de Benjamim, dizendo: Ide, ponde-vos de emboscada nas vinhas,	Judges 21:20 And they said to the men of Benjamin, Go into the vine-gardens, waiting there secretly,
Juízes 21:21 e vigiai; ao saírem as filhas de Siló a dançar nos coros, saí vós das vinhas, arrebatai cada um sua mulher, das filhas de Siló, e ide-vos para a terra de Benjamim.	Judges 21:21 And watching; and if the daughters of Shiloh come out to take part in the dances, then come from the vine-gardens and take a wife for every one of you from among the daughters of Shiloh, and go back to the land of Benjamin.
Juízes 21:22 Então quando seus pais e seus irmãos vierem queixar-se a nós, nós lhes diremos: Dignai-vos de no-las conceder; pois nesta guerra não tomamos mulheres para cada um deles, nem vós lhas destes; de outro modo seríeis agora culpados.	Judges 21:22 And when their fathers or their brothers come and make trouble, you are to say to them, Give them to us as an act of grace; for we did not take them as wives for ourselves in war; and if you yourselves had given them to us you would have been responsible for the broken oath.
Juízes 21:23 Assim fizeram os filhos de Benjamim; e conforme o seu número tomaram para si mulheres, arrebatando-as dentre as que dançavam; e, retirando-se, voltaram à sua herança, reedificaram as cidades e habitaram nelas.	Judges 21:23 So the men of Benjamin did this, and got wives for themselves for every one of their number, taking them away by force from the dance; then they went back to their heritage, building up their towns and living in them.
Juízes 21:24 Nesse mesmo tempo os filhos de Israel partiram dali, cada um para a sua tribo e para a sua família; assim voltaram cada um para a sua herança.	Judges 21:24 Then the children of Israel went away from there, every man to his tribe and his family, every man went back to his heritage.
Juízes 21:25 Naqueles dias não havia rei em Israel; cada um fazia o que parecia bem aos seus olhos.	Judges 21:25 In those days there was no king in Israel: every man did what seemed right to him.
