Judges / JUÍZES
11:1 Era então Jefté, o gileadita, homem valoroso, porém filho duma prostituta; Gileade era o pai dele.
11:1 Now Jephthah the Gileadite was a mighty man of valour, and he was the son of an harlot: and Gilead brings forth Jephthah.
11:2 Também a mulher de Gileade lhe deu filhos; quando os filhos desta eram já grandes, expulsaram a Jefté, e lhe disseram: Não herdarás na casa de nosso pai, porque és filho de outra mulher.
11:2 And Gilead's wife bare him sons; and his wife's sons grew up, and they thrust out Jephthah, and said unto him, You shall not inherit in our father's house; for you are the son of a strange woman.
11:3 Então Jefté fugiu de diante de seus irmãos, e habitou na terra de Tobe; e homens levianos juntaram-se a Jefté, e saiam com ele.
11:3 Then Jephthah fled from his brethren, and dwelt in the land of Tob: and there were gathered vain men to Jephthah, and went out with him.
11:4 Passado algum tempo, os amonitas fizeram guerra a Israel.
11:4 And it came to pass in process of time, that the children of Ammon made war against Israel.
11:5 E, estando eles a guerrear contra Israel, foram os anciãos de Gileade para trazer Jefté da terra de Tobe,
11:5 And it was so, that when the children of Ammon made war against Israel, the elders of Gilead went to fetch Jephthah out of the land of Tob:
11:6 e lhe disseram: Vem, sê o nosso chefe, para que combatamos contra os amonitas.
11:6 And they said unto Jephthah, Come, and be our captain, that we may fight with the children of Ammon.
11:7 Jefté, porém, perguntou aos anciãos de Gileade: Porventura não me odiastes, e não me expulsastes da casa de meu pai? por que, pois, agora viestes a mim, quando estais em aperto?
11:7 And Jephthah said unto the elders of Gilead, Did not all of you hate me, and expel me out of my father's house? and why are all of you come unto me now when all of you are in distress?
11:8 Responderam-lhe os anciãos de Gileade: É por isso que tornamos a ti agora, para que venhas conosco, e combatas contra os amonitas, e nos sejas por chefe sobre todos os habitantes de Gileade.
11:8 And the elders of Gilead said unto Jephthah, Therefore we return to you now, that you may go with us, and fight against the children of Ammon, and be our head over all the inhabitants of Gilead.
11:9 Então Jefté disse aos anciãos de Gileade: Se me fizerdes voltar para combater contra os amonitas, e o Senhor mos entregar diante de mim, então serei eu o vosso chefe.
11:9 And Jephthah said unto the elders of Gilead, If all of you bring me home again to fight against the children of Ammon, and the LORD deliver them before me, shall I be your head?
11:10 Responderam os anciãos de Gileade a Jefté: O Senhor será testemunha entre nós de que faremos conforme a tua palavra.
11:10 And the elders of Gilead said unto Jephthah, The LORD be witness between us, if we do not so according to your words.
11:11 Assim Jefté foi com os anciãos de Gileade, e o povo o pôs por cabeça e chefe sobre si; e Jefté falou todas as suas palavras perante o Senhor em Mizpá.
11:11 Then Jephthah went with the elders of Gilead, and the people made him head and captain over them: and Jephthah uttered all his words before the LORD in Mizpeh.
11:12 Depois Jefté enviou mensageiros ao rei dos amonitas, para lhe dizerem: Que há entre mim e ti, que vieste a mim para guerrear contra a minha terra?
11:12 And Jephthah sent messengers unto the king of the children of Ammon, saying, What have you to do with me, that you are come against me to fight in my land?
11:13 Respondeu o rei dos amonitas aos mensageiros de Jefté: É porque Israel, quando subiu do Egito, tomou a minha terra, desde o Arnom até o Jaboque e o Jordão; restitui-me, pois, agora essas terras em paz.
11:13 And the king of the children of Ammon answered unto the messengers of Jephthah, Because Israel took away my land, when they came up out of Egypt, from Arnon even unto Jabbok, and unto Jordan: now therefore restore those lands again peaceably.
11:14 Jefté, porém, tornou a enviar mensageiros ao rei dos amonitas,
11:14 And Jephthah sent messengers again unto the king of the children of Ammon:
11:15 dizendo-lhe: Assim diz Jefté: Israel não tomou a terra de Moabe, nem a terra dos amonitas;
11:15 And said unto him, Thus says Jephthah, Israel took not away the land of Moab, nor the land of the children of Ammon:
11:16 mas quando Israel subiu do Egito, andou pelo deserto até o Mar Vermelho, e depois chegou a Cades;
11:16 But when Israel came up from Egypt, and walked through the wilderness unto the Red sea, and came to Kadesh;
11:17 dali enviou mensageiros ao rei de Edom, a dizer-lhe: Rogo-te que me deixes passar pela tua terra. Mas o rei de Edom não lhe deu ouvidos. Então enviou ao rei de Moabe, o qual também não consentiu; e assim Israel ficou em Cades.
11:17 Then Israel sent messengers unto the king of Edom, saying, Let me, I pray you, pass through your land: but the king of Edom would not hearken thereto. And in like manner they sent unto the king of Moab: but he would not consent: and Israel abode in Kadesh.
11:18 Depois andou pelo deserto e rodeou a terra de Edom e a terra de Moabe, e veio pelo lado oriental da terra de Moabe, e acampou além do Arnom; porém não entrou no território de Moabe, pois o Arnom era o limite de Moabe.
11:18 Then they went along through the wilderness, and compassed the land of Edom, and the land of Moab, and came by the east side of the land of Moab, and pitched on the other side of Arnon, but came not within the border of Moab: for Arnon was the border of Moab.
11:19 E Israel enviou mensageiros a Siom, rei dos amorreus, rei de Hesbom, e disse-lhe: Rogo-te que nos deixes passar pela tua terra até o meu lugar.
11:19 And Israel sent messengers unto Sihon king of the Amorites, the king of Heshbon; and Israel said unto him, Let us pass, we pray you, through your land into my place.
11:20 Siom, porém, não se fiou de Israel para o deixar passar pelo seu território; pelo contrário, ajuntando todo o seu povo, acampou em Jaza e combateu contra Israel.
11:20 But Sihon trusted not Israel to pass through his coast: but Sihon gathered all his people together, and pitched in Jahaz, and fought against Israel.
11:21 E o Senhor Deus de Israel entregou Siom com todo o seu povo na mão de Israel, que os feriu e se apoderou de toda a terra dos amorreus que habitavam naquela região.
11:21 And the LORD God of Israel delivered Sihon and all his people into the hand of Israel, and they stroke them: so Israel possessed all the land of the Amorites, the inhabitants of that country.
11:22 Apoderou-se de todo o território dos amorreus, desde o Arnom até o Jaboque, e desde o deserto até o Jordão.
11:22 And they possessed all the coasts of the Amorites, from Arnon even unto Jabbok, and from the wilderness even unto Jordan.
11:23 Assim o Senhor Deus de Israel desapossou os amorreus de diante do seu povo de Israel; e possuirias tu esse território?
11:23 So now the LORD God of Israel has dispossessed the Amorites from before his people Israel, and should you possess it?
11:24 Não possuirias tu o território daquele que Quemós, teu deus, desapossasse de diante de ti? assim possuiremos nós o território de todos quantos o Senhor nosso Deus desapossar de diante de nós.
11:24 Will not you possess that which Chemosh your god gives you to possess? So whomsoever the LORD our God shall drive out from before us, them will we possess.
11:25 Agora, és tu melhor do que Balaque, filho de Zipor, rei de Moabe? ousou ele jamais contender com Israel, ou lhe mover guerra?
11:25 And now are you any thing better than Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab? did he ever strive against Israel, or did he ever fight against them,
11:26 Enquanto Israel habitou trezentos anos em Hesbom e nas suas vilas, em Aroer e nas suas vilas em todas as cidades que estão ao longo do Arnom, por que não as recuperaste naquele tempo?
11:26 While Israel dwelt in Heshbon and her towns, and in Aroer and her towns, and in all the cities that be along by the coasts of Arnon, three hundred years? why therefore did all of you not recover them within that time?
11:27 Não fui eu que pequei contra ti; és tu, porém, que usas de injustiça para comigo, fazendo-me guerra. O Senhor, que é juiz, julgue hoje entre os filhos de Israel e os amonitas.
11:27 Wherefore I have not sinned against you, but you do me wrong to war against me: the LORD the Judge be judge this day between the children of Israel and the children of Ammon.
11:28 Contudo o rei dos amonitas não deu ouvidos r mensagem que Jefté lhe enviou.
11:28 Nevertheless the king of the children of Ammon hearkened not unto the words of Jephthah which he sent him.
11:29 Então o Espírito do Senhor veio sobre Jefté, de modo que ele passou por Gileade e Manassés, e chegando a Mizpá de Gileade, dali foi ao encontro dos amonitas.
11:29 Then the Spirit of the LORD came upon Jephthah, and he passed over Gilead, and Manasseh, and passed over Mizpeh of Gilead, and from Mizpeh of Gilead he passed over unto the children of Ammon.
11:30 E Jefté fez um voto ao Senhor, dizendo: Se tu me entregares na mão os amonitas,
11:30 And Jephthah vowed a vow unto the LORD, and said, If you shall without fail deliver the children of Ammon into mine hands,
11:31 qualquer que, saindo da porta de minha casa, me vier ao encontro, quando eu, vitorioso, voltar dos amonitas, esse será do Senhor; eu o oferecerei em holocausto.
11:31 Then it shall be, that whatsoever comes out of the doors of my house to meet me, when I return in peace from the children of Ammon, shall surely be the LORD's, and I will offer it up for a burnt offering.
11:32 Assim Jefté foi ao encontro dos amonitas, a combater contra eles; e o Senhor lhos entregou na mão.
11:32 So Jephthah passed over unto the children of Ammon to fight against them; and the LORD delivered them into his hands.
11:33 E Jefté os feriu com grande mortandade, desde Aroer até chegar a Minite, vinte cidades, e até Abel-Queramim. Assim foram subjugados os amonitas pelos filhos de Israel.
11:33 And he stroke them from Aroer, even till you come to Minnith, even twenty cities, and unto the plain of the vineyards, with a very great slaughter. Thus the children of Ammon were subdued before the children of Israel.
11:34 Quando Jefté chegou a Mizpá, r sua casa, eis que a sua filha lhe saiu ao encontro com adufes e com danças; e era ela a filha única; além dela não tinha outro filho nem filha.
11:34 And Jephthah came to Mizpeh unto his house, and, behold, his daughter came out to meet him with timbrels and with dances: and she was his only child; beside her he had neither son nor daughter.
11:35 Logo que ele a viu, rasgou as suas vestes, e disse: Ai de mim, filha minha! muito me abateste; és tu a causa da minha desgraça! pois eu fiz, um voto ao Senhor, e não posso voltar atrás.
11:35 And it came to pass, when he saw her, that he rent his clothes, and said, Alas, my daughter! you have brought me very low, and you are one of them that trouble me: for I have opened my mouth unto the LORD, and I cannot go back.
11:36 Ela lhe respondeu: Meu pai, se fizeste um voto ao Senhor, faze de mim conforme o teu voto, pois o Senhor te vingou dos teus inimigos, os filhos de Amom.
11:36 And she said unto him, My father, if you have opened your mouth unto the LORD, do to me according to that which has proceeded out of your mouth; forasmuch as the LORD has taken vengeance for you of yours enemies, even of the children of Ammon.
11:37 Disse mais a seu pai: Concede-me somente isto: deixa-me por dois meses para que eu vá, e desça pelos montes, chorando a minha virgindade com as minhas companheiras.
11:37 And she said unto her father, Let this thing be done for me: let me alone two months, that I may go up and down upon the mountains, and mourn for my virginity, I and my fellows.
11:38 Disse ele: Vai. E deixou-a ir por dois meses; então ela se foi com as suas companheiras, e chorou a sua virgindade pelos montes.
11:38 And he said, Go. And he sent her away for two months: and she went with her companions, and bewailed her virginity upon the mountains.
11:39 E sucedeu que, ao fim dos dois meses, tornou ela para seu pai, o qual cumpriu nela o voto que tinha feito; e ela não tinha conhecido varão. Daí veio o costume em Israel,
11:39 And it came to pass at the end of two months, that she returned unto her father, who did with her according to his vow which he had vowed: and she knew no man. And it was a custom in Israel,
11:40 de irem as filhas de Israel de ano em ano lamentar por quatro dias a filha de Jefté, o gileadita. Isso não é
11:40 That the daughters of Israel went yearly to lament the daughter of Jephthah the Gileadite four days in a year.
Judges / JUÍZES
12:1 Então os homens de Efraim se congregaram, passaram para Zafom e disseram a Jefté: Por que passaste a combater contra os amonitas, e não nos chamaste para irmos contigo? Queimaremos a fogo a tua casa contigo.
12:1 And the men of Ephraim gathered themselves together, and went northward, and said unto Jephthah, Wherefore passed you over to fight against the children of Ammon, and did not call us to go with you? we will burn yours house upon you with fire.
12:2 Disse-lhes Jefté: Eu e o meu povo tivemos grande contenda com os amonitas; e quando vos chamei, não me livrastes da sua mão.
12:2 And Jephthah said unto them, I and my people were at great strife with the children of Ammon; and when I called you, all of you delivered me not out of their hands.
12:3 Vendo eu que não me livráveis, arrisquei a minha vida e fui de encontro aos amonitas, e o Senhor mos entregou nas mãos; por que, pois, subistes vós hoje para combater contra mim?
12:3 And when I saw that all of you delivered me not, I put my life in my hands, and passed opposite to the children of Ammon, and the LORD delivered them into my hand: wherefore then are all of you come up unto me this day, to fight against me?
12:4 Depois ajuntou Jefté todos os homens de Gileade, e combateu contra Efraim, e os homens de Gileade feriram a Efraim; porque este lhes dissera: Fugitivos sois de Efraim, vós gileaditas que habitais entre Efraim e Manassés.
12:4 Then Jephthah gathered together all the men of Gilead, and fought with Ephraim: and the men of Gilead stroke Ephraim, because they said, All of you Gileadites are fugitives of Ephraim among the Ephraimites, and among the Manassites.
12:5 E tomaram os gileaditas aos efraimitas os vaus do Jordão; e quando algum dos fugitivos de Efraim diza: Deixai-me passar; então os homens de Gileade lhe perguntavam: És tu efraimita? E dizendo ele: Não;
12:5 And the Gileadites took the passages of Jordan before the Ephraimites: and it was so, that when those Ephraimites which were escaped said, Let me go over; that the men of Gilead said unto him, Are you an Ephraimite? If he said, Nay;
12:6 então lhe diziam: Dize, pois, Chibolete; porém ele dizia: Sibolete, porque não o podia pronunciar bem. Então pegavam dele, e o degolavam nos vaus do Jordão. Cairam de Efraim naquele tempo quarenta e dois mil.
12:6 Then said they unto him, Say now Shibboleth: and he said Sibboleth: for he could not frame to pronounce it right. Then they took him, and slew him at the passages of Jordan: and there fell at that time of the Ephraimites forty and two thousand.
12:7 Jefté julgou a Israel seis anos; e morreu Jefté, o gileadita, e foi sepultado numa das cidades de Gileade.
12:7 And Jephthah judged Israel six years. Then died Jephthah the Gileadite, and was buried in one of the cities of Gilead.
12:8 Depois dele julgou a Israel Ibzã de Belém.
12:8 And after him Ibzan of Bethlehem judged Israel.
12:9 Tinha este trinta filhos, e trinta filhas que casou fora; e trinta filhas trouxe de fora para seus filhos. E julgou a Israel sete anos.
12:9 And he had thirty sons, and thirty daughters, whom he sent abroad, and took in thirty daughters from abroad for his sons. And he judged Israel seven years.
12:10 Morreu Ibzã, e foi sepultado em Belém.
12:10 Then died Ibzan, and was buried at Bethlehem.
12:11 Depois dele Elom, o zebulonita, julgou a Israel dez anos.
12:11 And after him Elon, a Zebulonite, judged Israel; and he judged Israel ten years.
12:12 Morreu Elom, o zebulonita, e foi sepultado em Aijalom, na terra de Zebulom.
12:12 And Elon the Zebulonite died, and was buried in Aijalon in the country of Zebulun.
12:13 Depois dele julgou a Israel Abdom, filho de Hilel, o piratonita.
12:13 And after him Abdon the son of Hillel, a Pirathonite, judged Israel.
12:14 Tinha este quarenta filhos e trinta netos, que cavalgavam sobre setenta jumentos. E julgou a Israel oito anos.
12:14 And he had forty sons and thirty nephews, that rode on threescore and ten ass colts: and he judged Israel eight years.
12:15 Morreu Abdom, filho de Hilel, o piratonita, e foi sepultado em Piratom, na terra de Efraim, na região montanhosa dos amalequitas.
12:15 And Abdon the son of Hillel the Pirathonite died, and was buried in Pirathon in the land of Ephraim, in the mount of the Amalekites.
Judges / JUÍZES
13:1 Os filhos de Israel tornaram a fazer o que era mau aos olhos do Senhor, e ele os entregou na mão dos filisteus por quarenta anos.
13:1 And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the LORD; and the LORD delivered them into the hand of the Philistines forty years.
13:2 Havia um homem de Zorá, da tribo de Dã, cujo nome era Manoá; e sua mulher, sendo estéril, não lhe dera filhos.
13:2 And there was a certain man of Zorah, of the family of the Danites, whose name was Manoah; and his wife was barren, and bare not.
13:3 Mas o anjo do Senhor apareceu r mulher e lhe disse: Eis que és estéril, e nunca deste r luz; porém conceberás, e terás um filho.
13:3 And the angel of the LORD appeared unto the woman, and said unto her, Behold now, you are barren, and bear not: but you shall conceive, and bear a son.
13:4 Agora pois, toma cuidado, e não bebas vinho nem bebida forte, e não comas coisa alguma impura;
13:4 Now therefore beware, I pray you, and drink not wine nor strong drink, and eat not any unclean thing:
13:5 porque tu conceberás e terás um filho, sobre cuja cabeça não passará navalha, porquanto o menino será nazireu de Deus desde o ventre de sua mãe; e ele começara a livrar a Israel da mão dos filisteus.
13:5 For, lo, you shall conceive, and bear a son; and no razor shall come on his head: for the child shall be a Nazarite unto God from the womb: and he shall begin to deliver Israel out of the hand of the Philistines.
13:6 Então a mulher entrou, e falou a seu marido, dizendo: Veio a mim um homem de Deus, cujo semblante era como o de um anjo de Deus, em extremo terrível; e não lhe perguntei de onde era, nem ele me disse o seu nome;
13:6 Then the woman came and told her husband, saying, A man of God came unto me, and his countenance was like the countenance of an angel of God, very terrible: but I asked him not whence he was, neither told he me his name:
13:7 porém disse-me: Eis que tu conceberás e terás um filho. Agora pois, não bebas vinho nem bebida forte, e não comas coisa impura; porque o menino sera nazireu de Deus, desde o ventre de sua mãe até o dia da sua morte.
13:7 But he said unto me, Behold, you shall conceive, and bear a son; and now drink no wine nor strong drink, neither eat any unclean thing: for the child shall be a Nazarite to God from the womb to the day of his death.
13:8 Então Manoá suplicou ao Senhor, dizendo: Ah! Senhor meu, rogo-te que o homem de Deus, que enviaste, venha ter conosco outra vez e nos ensine o que devemos fazer ao menino que há de nascer.
13:8 Then Manoah implored the LORD, and said, O my Lord, let the man of God which you did send come again unto us, and teach us what we shall do unto the child that shall be born.
13:9 Deus ouviu a voz de Manoá; e o anjo de Deus veio outra vez ter com a mulher, estando ela sentada no campo, porém não estava com ela seu marido, Manoá.
13:9 And God hearkened to the voice of Manoah; and the angel of God came again unto the woman as she sat in the field: but Manoah her husband was not with her.
13:10 Apressou-se, pois, a mulher e correu para dar a notícia a seu marido, e disse-lhe: Eis que me apareceu aquele homem que veio ter comigo o outro dia.
13:10 And the woman made haste, and ran, and showed her husband, and said unto him, Behold, the man has appeared unto me, that came unto me the other day.
13:11 Então Manoá se levantou, seguiu a sua mulher e, chegando r presença do homem, perguntou-lhe: És tu o homem que falou a esta mulher? Ele respondeu: Sou eu.
13:11 And Manoah arose, and went after his wife, and came to the man, and said unto him, Are you the man that spoke unto the woman? And he said, I am.
13:12 Então disse Manoá: Quando se cumprirem as tuas palavras, como se há de criar o menino e que fará ele?
13:12 And Manoah said, Now let your words come to pass. How shall we order the child, and how shall we do unto him?
13:13 Respondeu o anjo do Senhor a Manoá: De tudo quanto eu disse r mulher se guardará ela;
13:13 And the angel of the LORD said unto Manoah, Of all that I said unto the woman let her beware.
13:14 de nenhum produto da vinha comerá; não beberá vinho nem bebida forte, nem comerá coisa impura; tudo quanto lhe ordenei cumprirá.
13:14 She may not eat of any thing that comes of the vine, neither let her drink wine or strong drink, nor eat any unclean thing: all that I commanded her let her observe.
13:15 Então Manoá disse ao anjo do Senhor: Deixa que te detenhamos, para que te preparemos um cabrito.
13:15 And Manoah said unto the angel of the LORD, I pray you, let us detain you, until we shall have made ready a kid for you.
13:16 Disse, porém, o anjo do Senhor a Manoá: Ainda que me detenhas, não comerei de teu pão; e se fizeres holocausto, é ao Senhor que o oferecerás. (Pois Manoá não sabia que era o anjo do Senhor).
13:16 And the angel of the LORD said unto Manoah, Though you detain me, I will not eat of your bread: and if you will offer a burnt offering, you must offer it unto the LORD. For Manoah knew not that he was an angel of the LORD.
13:17 Ainda perguntou Manoá ao anjo do Senhor: Qual é o teu nome? - para que, quando se cumprir a tua palavra, te honremos.
13:17 And Manoah said unto the angel of the LORD, What is your name, that when your sayings come to pass we may do you honour?
13:18 Ao que o anjo do Senhor lhe respondeu: Por que perguntas pelo meu nome, visto que é maravilhoso?
13:18 And the angel of the LORD said unto him, Why ask you thus after my name, seeing it is secret?
13:19 Então Manoá tomou um cabrito com a oferta de cereais, e o ofereceu sobre a pedra ao Senhor; e fez o anjo maravilhas, enquanto Manoá e sua mulher o observavam.
13:19 So Manoah took a kid with a food offering, and offered it upon a rock unto the LORD: and the angel did wondrously; and Manoah and his wife looked on.
13:20 Ao subir a chama do altar para o céu, subiu com ela o anjo do Senhor; o que vendo Manoá e sua mulher, caíram com o rosto em terra.
13:20 For it came to pass, when the flame went up toward heaven from off the altar, that the angel of the LORD ascended in the flame of the altar. And Manoah and his wife looked on it, and fell on their faces to the ground.
13:21 E não mais apareceu o anjo do Senhor a Manoá, nem r sua mulher; então compreendeu Manoá que era o anjo do Senhor.
13:21 But the angel of the LORD did no more appear to Manoah and to his wife. Then Manoah knew that he was an angel of the LORD.
13:22 Disse Manoá a sua mulher: Certamente morreremos, porquanto temos visto a Deus.
13:22 And Manoah said unto his wife, We shall surely die, because we have seen God.
13:23 Sua mulher, porém, lhe respondeu: Se o Senhor nos quisera matar, não teria recebido da nossa mão o holocausto e a oferta de cereais, nem nos teria mostrado todas estas coisas, nem agora nos teria dito semelhantes coisas.
13:23 But his wife said unto him, If the LORD were pleased to kill us, he would not have received a burnt offering and a food offering at our hands, neither would he have showed us all these things, nor would as at this time have told us such things as these.
13:24 Depois teve esta mulher um filho, a quem pôs o nome de Sansão; e o menino cresceu, e o Senhor o abençoou.
13:24 And the woman bare a son, and called his name Samson: and the child grew, and the LORD blessed him.
13:25 E o Espírito do Senhor começou a incitá-lo em Maané-Dã, entre Zorá e Estaol.
13:25 And the Spirit of the LORD began to move him at times in the camp of Dan between Zorah and Eshtaol.
Judges / JUÍZES
14:1 Desceu Sansão a Timnate; e vendo em Timnate uma mulher das filhas dos filisteus,
14:1 And Samson went down to Timnath, and saw a woman in Timnath of the daughters of the Philistines.
14:2 subiu, e declarou-o a seu pai e a sua mãe, dizendo: Vi uma mulher em Timnate, das filhas dos filisteus; agora pois, tomai-ma por mulher.
14:2 And he came up, and told his father and his mother, and said, I have seen a woman in Timnath of the daughters of the Philistines: now therefore get her for me to wife.
14:3 Responderam-lhe, porém, seu pai e sua mãe: Não há, porventura, mulher entre as filhas de teus irmãos, nem entre todo o nosso povo, para que tu vás tomar mulher dos filisteus, daqueles incircuncisos? Disse, porém, Sansão a seu pai: Toma esta para mim, porque ela muito me agrada.
14:3 Then his father and his mother said unto him, Is there not a woman among the daughters of your brethren, or among all my people, that you go to take a wife of the uncircumcised Philistines? And Samson said unto his father, Get her for me; for she pleases me well.
14:4 Mas seu pai e sua mãe não sabiam que isto vinha do Senhor, que buscava ocasião contra os filisteus; porquanto naquele tempo os filisteus dominavam sobre Israel.
14:4 But his father and his mother knew not that it was of the LORD, that he sought an occasion against the Philistines: for at that time the Philistines had dominion over Israel.
14:5 Desceu, pois, Sansão com seu pai e com sua mãe a Timnate. E, chegando ele rs vinhas de Timnate, um leão novo, rugindo, saiu-lhe ao encontro.
14:5 Then went Samson down, and his father and his mother, to Timnath, and came to the vineyards of Timnath: and, behold, a young lion roared against him.
14:6 Então o Espírito do Senhor se apossou dele, de modo que ele, sem ter coisa alguma na mão, despedaçou o leão como se fosse um cabrito. E não disse nem a seu pai nem a sua mãe o que tinha feito.
14:6 And the Spirit of the LORD came mightily upon him, and he rent him as he would have rent a kid, and he had nothing in his hand: but he told not his father or his mother what he had done.
14:7 Depois desceu e falou rquela mulher; e ela muito lhe agradou.
14:7 And he went down, and talked with the woman; and she pleased Samson well.
14:8 Passado algum tempo, Sansão voltou para recebê-la; e apartando-se de caminho para ver o cadáver do leão, eis que nele havia um enxame de abelhas, e mel.
14:8 And after a time he returned to take her, and he turned aside to see the carcass of the lion: and, behold, there was a swarm of bees and honey in the carcass of the lion.
14:9 E tirando-o nas mãos, foi andando e comendo dele; chegando aonde estavam seu pai e sua mãe, deu-lhes do mel, e eles comeram; porém não lhes disse que havia tirado o mel do corpo do leão.
14:9 And he took thereof in his hands, and went on eating, and came to his father and mother, and he gave them, and they did eat: but he told not them that he had taken the honey out of the carcass of the lion.
14:10 Desceu, pois, seu pai r casa da mulher; e Sansão fez ali um banquete, porque assim os mancebos costumavam fazer.
14:10 So his father went down unto the woman: and Samson made there a feast; for so used the young men to do.
14:11 E sucedeu que, quando os habitantes do lugar o viram, trouxeram trinta companheiros para estarem com ele.
14:11 And it came to pass, when they saw him, that they brought thirty companions to be with him.
14:12 Disse-lhes, pois, Sansão: Permiti-me propor-vos um enigma; se nos sete dias das bodas o decifrardes e mo descobrirdes, eu vos darei trinta túnicas de linho e trinta mantos;
14:12 And Samson said unto them, I will now put forth a riddle unto you: if all of you can certainly declare it me within the seven days of the feast, and find it out, then I will give you thirty sheets and thirty change of garments:
14:13 mas se não puderdes decifrar, vós me dareis a mim as trinta túnicas de linho e os trinta mantos. Ao que lhe responderam eles: Propõe o teu enigma, para que o ouçamos.
14:13 But if all of you cannot declare it me, then shall all of you give me thirty sheets and thirty change of garments. And they said unto him, Put forth your riddle, that we may hear it.
14:14 Então lhes disse: Do que come saiu comida, e do forte saiu doçura. E em três dias não puderam decifrar o enigma.
14:14 And he said unto them, Out of the eater came forth food, and out of the strong came forth sweetness. And they could not in three days expound the riddle.
14:15 Ao quarto dia, pois, disseram r mulher de Sansão: Persuade teu marido a que declare o enigma, para que não queimemos a fogo a ti e r casa de teu pai. Acaso nos convidastes para nos despojardes?
14:15 And it came to pass on the seventh day, that they said unto Samson's wife, Entice your husband, that he may declare unto us the riddle, lest we burn you and your father's house with fire: have all of you called us to take that we have? is it not so?
14:16 E a mulher de Sansão chorou diante dele, e disse: Tão-somente me aborreces, e não me amas; pois propuseste aos filhos do meu povo um enigma, e não mo declaraste a mim. Respondeu-lhe ele: Eis que nem a meu pai nem a minha mãe o declarei, e to declararei a ti.
14:16 And Samson's wife wept before him, and said, You do but hate me, and love me not: you have put forth a riddle unto the children of my people, and have not told it me. And he said unto her, Behold, I have not told it my father nor my mother, and shall I tell it you?
14:17 Assim ela chorava diante dele os sete dias em que celebravam as bodas. Sucedeu, pois, que ao sétimo dia lho declarou, porquanto o importunava; então ela declarou o enigma aos filhos do seu povo.
14:17 And she wept before him the seven days, while their feast lasted: and it came to pass on the seventh day, that he told her, because she lay sore upon him: and she told the riddle to the children of her people.
14:18 Os homens da cidade, pois, ainda no sétimo dia, antes de se pôr o sol, disseram a Sansão: Que coisa há mais doce do que o mel? e que coisa há mais forte do que o leão? Respondeu-lhes ele: Se vós não tivésseis lavrado com a minha novilha, não teríeis descoberto o meu enigma.
14:18 And the men of the city said unto him on the seventh day before the sun went down, What is sweeter than honey? And what is stronger than a lion? and he said unto them, If all of you had not plowed with my heifer, all of you had not found out my riddle.
14:19 Então o Espírito do Senhor se apossou dele, de modo que desceu a Asquelom, matou trinta dos seus homens e, tomando as suas vestes, deu-as aos que declararam o enigma; e, ardendo em ira, subiu r casa de seu pai.
14:19 And the Spirit of the LORD came upon him, and he went down to Ashkelon, and slew thirty men of them, and took their spoil, and gave change of garments unto them which expounded the riddle. And his anger was kindled, and he went up to his father's house.
14:20 E a mulher de Sansão foi dada ao seu companheiro, que lhe servira de paraninfo.:
14:20 But Samson's wife was given to his companion, whom he had used as his friend.
Judges / JUÍZES
15:1 Alguns dias depois disso, durante a ceifa do trigo, Sansão, levando um cabrito, foi visitar a sua mulher, e disse: Entrarei na câmara de minha mulher. Mas o pai dela não o deixou entrar,
15:1 But it came to pass within a while after, in the time of wheat harvest, that Samson visited his wife with a kid; and he said, I will go in to my wife into the chamber. But her father would not suffer him to go in.
15:2 dizendo-lhe: Na verdade, pensava eu que de todo a aborrecias; por isso a dei ao teu companheiro. Não é, porém, mais formosa do que ela a sua irmã mais nova? Toma-a, pois, em seu lugar.
15:2 And her father said, I verily thought that you had utterly hated her; therefore I gave her to your companion: is not her younger sister fairer than she? take her, I pray you, instead of her.
15:3 Então Sansão lhes disse: De agora em diante estarei sem culpa para com os filisteus, quando lhes fizer algum mal.
15:3 And Samson said concerning them, Now shall I be more blameless than the Philistines, though I do them a displeasure.
15:4 E Sansão foi, apanhou trezentas raposas, tomou fachos e, juntando as raposas cauda a cauda, pôs-lhes um facho entre cada par de caudas.
15:4 And Samson went and caught three hundred foxes, and took firebrands, and turned tail to tail, and put a firebrand in the midst between two tails.
15:5 E tendo chegado fogo aos fachos, largou as raposas nas searas dos filisteus:, e assim abrasou tanto as medas como o trigo ainda em pé as vinhas e os olivais.
15:5 And when he had set the brands on fire, he let them go into the standing corn of the Philistines, and burnt up both the shocks, and also the standing corn, with the vineyards and olives.
15:6 Perguntaram os filisteus: Quem fez isto? Respondeu-se-lhes: Sansão, o genro do timnita, porque este lhe tomou a sua mulher, e a deu ao seu companheiro. Subiram, pois, os filisteus, e queimaram a fogo a ela e a seu pai.
15:6 Then the Philistines said, Who has done this? And they answered, Samson, the son in law of the Timnite, because he had taken his wife, and given her to his companion. And the Philistines came up, and burnt her and her father with fire.
15:7 Disse-lhes Sansão: É assim que fazeis? pois só cessarei quando me houver vingado de vós.
15:7 And Samson said unto them, Though all of you have done this, yet will I be avenged of you, and after that I will cease.
15:8 E de todo os desbaratou, infligindo-lhes grande mortandade. Então desceu, e habitou na fenda do penhasco de Etã.
15:8 And he stroke them hip and thigh with a great slaughter: and he went down and dwelt in the top of the rock Etam.
15:9 Então os filisteus subiram, acamparam-se em Judá, e estenderam-se por Leí.
15:9 Then the Philistines went up, and pitched in Judah, and spread themselves in Lehi.
15:10 Perguntaram-lhes os homens de Judá: Por que subistes contra nós. E eles responderam: Subimos para amarrar a Sansão, para lhe fazer como ele nos fez.
15:10 And the men of Judah said, Why are all of you come up against us? And they answered, To bind Samson are we come up, to do to him as he has done to us.
15:11 Então três mil homens de Judá desceram até a fenda do penhasco de Etã, e disseram a Sansão: Não sabias tu que os filisteus dominam sobre nós? por que, pois, nos fizeste isto? E ele lhes disse: Assim como eles me fizeram a mim, eu lhes fiz a eles.
15:11 Then three thousand men of Judah went to the top of the rock Etam, and said to Samson, Know you not that the Philistines are rulers over us? what is this that you have done unto us? And he said unto them, As they did unto me, so have I done unto them.
15:12 Tornaram-lhe eles: Descemos para amarrar-te, a fim de te entregar nas mãos dos filisteus. Disse-lhes Sansão: Jurai-me que vós mesmos não me acometereis.
15:12 And they said unto him, We are come down to bind you, that we may deliver you into the hand of the Philistines. And Samson said unto them, Swear unto me, that all of you will not fall upon me yourselves.
15:13 Eles lhe responderam: Não, não te mataremos, mas apenas te amarraremos, e te entregaremos nas mãos deles. E amarrando-o com duas cordas novas, tiraram-no do penhasco.
15:13 And they spoke unto him, saying, No; but we will bind you fast, and deliver you into their hand: but surely we will not kill you. And they bound him with two new cords, and brought him up from the rock.
15:14 Quando ele chegou a Leí, os filisteus lhe saíram ao encontro, jubilando. Então o Espírito do Senhor se apossou dele, e as cordas que lhe ligavam os braços se tornaram como fios de linho que estão queimados do fogo, e as suas amarraduras se desfizeram das suas mãos.
15:14 And when he came unto Lehi, the Philistines shouted against him: and the Spirit of the LORD came mightily upon him, and the cords that were upon his arms became as flax that was burnt with fire, and his bands loosed from off his hands.
15:15 E achou uma queixada fresca de jumento e, estendendo a mão, tomou-a e com ela matou mil homens.
15:15 And he found a new jawbone of an ass, and put forth his hand, and took it, and slew a thousand men therewith.
15:16 Disse Sansão: Com a queixada de um jumento montões e mais montões! Sim, com a queixada de um jumento matei mil homens.
15:16 And Samson said, With the jawbone of an ass, heaps upon heaps, with the jaw of an ass have I slain a thousand men.
15:17 E acabando ele de falar, lançou da sua mão a queixada; e chamou-se aquele lugar Ramá-Leí.
15:17 And it came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking, that he cast away the jawbone out of his hand, and called that place Ramathlehi.
15:18 Depois, como tivesse grande sede, clamou ao Senhor, e disse: Pela mão do teu servo tu deste este grande livramento; e agora morrerei eu de sede, e cairei nas mãos destes incircuncisos?
15:18 And he was sore thirsty, and called on the LORD, and said, You have given this great deliverance into the hand of your servant: and now shall I die for thirst, and fall into the hand of the uncircumcised?
15:19 Então o Senhor abriu a fonte que está em Leí, e dela saiu água; e Sansão, tendo bebido, recobrou alento, e reviveu; pelo que a fonte ficou sendo chamada En-Hacore, a qual está em Leí até o dia de hoje.
15:19 But God clave an hollow place that was in the jaw, and there came water from it; and when he had drunk, his spirit came again, and he revived: wherefore he called the name thereof Enhakkore, which is in Lehi unto this day.
15:20 E julgou a Israel, nos dias dos filisteus, vinte anos.
15:20 And he judged Israel in the days of the Philistines twenty years.
Judges / JUÍZES
16:1 Sansão foi a Gaza, e viu ali uma prostituta, e entrou a ela.
16:1 Then went Samson to Gaza, and saw there an harlot, and went in unto her.
16:2 E foi dito aos gazitas: Sansão entrou aqui. Cercaram-no, pois, e de emboscada r porta da cidade o esperaram toda a noite; assim ficaram quietos a noite toda, dizendo: Quando raiar o dia, matá-lo-emos.
16:2 And it was told the Gazites, saying, Samson has come here. And they compassed him in, and laid wait for him all night in the gate of the city, and were quiet all the night, saying, In the morning, when it is day, we shall kill him.
16:3 Mas Sansão deitou-se até a meia-noite; então, levantando-se, pegou nas portas da entrada da cidade, com ambos os umbrais, arrancou-as juntamente com a tranca e, pondo-as sobre os ombros, levou-as até o cume do monte que está defronte de Hebrom.
16:3 And Samson lay till midnight, and arose at midnight, and took the doors of the gate of the city, and the two posts, and went away with them, bar and all, and put them upon his shoulders, and carried them up to the top of an hill that is before Hebron.
16:4 Depois disto se afeiçoou a uma mulher do vale de Soreque, cujo nome era Dalila.
16:4 And it came to pass afterward, that he loved a woman in the valley of Sorek, whose name was Delilah.
16:5 Então os chefes dos filisteus subiram a ter com ela, e lhe disseram: Persuade-o, e vê em que consiste a sua grande força, e como poderemos prevalecer contra ele e amarrá-lo, para assim o afligirmos; e te daremos, cada um de nós, mil e cem moedas de prata.
16:5 And the lords of the Philistines came up unto her, and said unto her, Entice him, and see wherein his great strength lies, and by what means we may prevail against him, that we may bind him to afflict him; and we will give you every one of us eleven hundred pieces of silver.
16:6 Disse, pois, Dalila a Sansão: Declara-me, peço-te, em que consiste a tua grande força, e com que poderias ser amarrado para te poderem afligir.
16:6 And Delilah said to Samson, Tell me, I pray you, wherein your great strength lies, and wherewith you might be bound to afflict you.
16:7 Respondeu-lhe Sansão: Se me amarrassem com sete cordas de nervos, ainda não secados, então me tornaria fraco, e seria como qualquer outro homem.
16:7 And Samson said unto her, If they bind me with seven green withes that were never dried, then shall I be weak, and be as another man.
16:8 Então os chefes dos filisteus trouxeram a Dalila sete cordas de nervos, ainda não secados, com as quais ela o amarrou.
16:8 Then the lords of the Philistines brought up to her seven green withes which had not been dried, and she bound him with them.
16:9 Ora, tinha ela em casa uns espias sentados na câmara interior. Então ela disse: Os filisteus vêm sobre ti, Sansão! E ele quebrou as cordas de nervos, como se quebra o fio da estopa ao lhe chegar o fogo. Assim não se soube em que consistia a sua força.
16:9 Now there were men lying in wait, abiding with her in the chamber. And she said unto him, The Philistines be upon you, Samson. And he brake the withes, as a thread of tow is broken when it touches the fire. So his strength was not known.
16:10 Disse, pois, Dalila a Sansão: Eis que zombaste de mim, e me disseste mentiras; declara-me agora com que poderia ser a amarrado.
16:10 And Delilah said unto Samson, Behold, you have mocked me, and told me lies: now tell me, I pray you, wherewith you might be bound.
16:11 Respondeu-lhe ele: Se me amarrassem fortemente com cordas novas, que nunca tivessem sido usadas, então me tornaria fraco, e seria como qualquer outro homem.
16:11 And he said unto her, If they bind me fast with new ropes that never were occupied, then shall I be weak, and be as another man.
16:12 Então Dalila tomou cordas novas, e o amarrou com elas, e disse-lhe: Os filisteus vêm sobre ti, Sansão! E os espias estavam sentados na câmara interior. Porém ele as quebrou de seus braços como a um fio.
16:12 Delilah therefore took new ropes, and bound him therewith, and said unto him, The Philistines be upon you, Samson. And there were hidden attackers in wait abiding in the chamber. And he brake them from off his arms like a thread.
16:13 Disse Dalila a Sansão: Até agora zombaste de mim, e me disseste mentiras; declara-me pois, agora, com que poderia ser amarrado. E ele lhe disse: Se teceres as sete tranças da minha cabeça com os liços da teia.
16:13 And Delilah said unto Samson, Until now you have mocked me, and told me lies: tell me wherewith you might be bound. And he said unto her, If you weave the seven locks of my head with the web.
16:14 Assim ela as fixou com o torno de tear, e disse-lhe: Os filisteus vêm sobre ti, Sansão! Então ele despertou do seu sono, e arrancou o torno do tear, juntamente com os liços da teia.
16:14 And she fastened it with the pin, and said unto him, The Philistines be upon you, Samson. And he awaked out of his sleep, and went away with the pin of the beam, and with the web.
16:15 Disse-lhe ela: como podes dizer: Eu te amo! não estando comigo o teu coração? Já três vezes zombaste de mim, e ainda não me declaraste em que consiste a tua força.
16:15 And she said unto him, How can you say, I love you, when yours heart is not with me? you have mocked me these three times, and have not told me wherein your great strength lies.
16:16 E sucedeu que, importunando-o ela todos os dias com as suas palavras, e molestando-o, a alma dele se angustiou até a morte.
16:16 And it came to pass, when she pressed him daily with her words, and urged him, so that his soul was vexed unto death;
16:17 E descobriu-lhe todo o seu coração, e disse-lhe: Nunca passou navalha pela ninha cabeça, porque sou nazireu de Deus desde o ventre de minha mãe; se viesse a ser rapado, ir-se-ia de mim a minha força, e me tornaria fraco, e seria como qualquer outro homem.
16:17 That he told her all his heart, and said unto her, There has not come a razor upon mine head; for I have been a Nazarite unto God from my mother's womb: if I be shaven, then my strength will go from me, and I shall become weak, and be like any other man.
16:18 Vendo Dalila que ele lhe descobrira todo o seu coração, mandou chamar os chefes dos filisteus, dizendo: Subi ainda esta vez, porque agora me descobriu ele todo o seu coração. E os chefes dos filisteus subiram a ter com ela, trazendo o dinheiro nas maos.
16:18 And when Delilah saw that he had told her all his heart, she sent and called for the lords of the Philistines, saying, Come up this once, for he has showed me all his heart. Then the lords of the Philistines came up unto her, and brought money in their hand.
16:19 Então ela o fez dormir sobre os seus joelhos, e mandou chamar um homem para lhe rapar as sete tranças de sua cabeça. Depois começou a afligi-lo, e a sua força se lhe foi.
16:19 And she made him sleep upon her knees; and she called for a man, and she caused him to shave off the seven locks of his head; and she began to afflict him, and his strength went from him.
16:20 E disse ela: Os filisteus vêm sobre ti, Sansão! Despertando ele do seu sono, disse: Sairei, como das outras vezes, e me livrarei. Pois ele não sabia que o Senhor se tinha retirado dele.
16:20 And she said, The Philistines be upon you, Samson. And he awoke out of his sleep, and said, I will go out as at other times before, and shake myself. And he knows not that the LORD was departed from him.
16:21 Então os filisteus pegaram nele, arrancaram-lhe os olhos e, tendo-o levado a Gaza, amarraram-no com duas cadeias de bronze; e girava moinho no cárcere.
16:21 But the Philistines took him, and put out his eyes, and brought him down to Gaza, and bound him with fetters of brass; and he did grind in the prison house.
16:22 Todavia o cabelo da sua cabeça, logo que foi rapado, começou a crescer de novo:
16:22 Nevertheless the hair of his head began to grow again after he was shaven.
16:23 Então os chefes dos filisteus se ajuntaram para oferecer um grande sacrifício ao seu deus Dagom, e para se regozijar; pois diziam: Nosso deus nos entregou nas mãos a Sansão, nosso inimigo.
16:23 Then the lords of the Philistines gathered them together in order to offer a great sacrifice unto Dagon their god, and to rejoice: for they said, Our god has delivered Samson our enemy into our hand.
16:24 semelhantemente o povo, vendo-o, louvava ao seu deus, dizendo: Nosso Deus nos entregou nas mãos o nosso inimigo, aquele que destruía a nossa terra, e multiplicava os nossos mortos.
16:24 And when the people saw him, they praised their god: for they said, Our god has delivered into our hands our enemy, and the destroyer of our country, which slew many of us.
16:25 E sucedeu que, alegrando-se o seu coração, disseram: Mandai vir Sansão, para que brinque diante de nós. Mandaram, pois, vir do cárcere Sansão, que brincava diante deles; e fizeram-no estar em pé entre as colunas.
16:25 And it came to pass, when their hearts were merry, that they said, Call for Samson, that he may make us sport. And they called for Samson out of the prison house; and he made them sport: and they set him between the pillars.
16:26 Disse Sansão ao moço que lhe segurava a mão: Deixa-me apalpar as colunas em que se sustém a casa, para que me encoste a elas.
16:26 And Samson said unto the lad that held him by the hand, Suffer me that I may feel the pillars whereupon the house stands, that I may lean upon them.
16:27 Ora, a casa estava cheia de homens e mulheres; e também ali estavam todos os chefes dos filisteus, e sobre o telhado havia cerca de três mil homens e mulheres, que estavam vendo Sansão brincar.
16:27 Now the house was full of men and women; and all the lords of the Philistines were there; and there were upon the roof about three thousand men and women, that beheld while Samson made sport.
16:28 Então Sansão clamou ao Senhor, e disse: Ó Senhor Deus! lembra-te de mim, e fortalece-me agora só esta vez, ó Deus, para que duma só vez me vingue dos filisteus pelos meus dois olhos.
16:28 And Samson called unto the LORD, and said, O Lord God, remember me, I pray you, and strengthen me, I pray you, only this once, O God, that I may be at once avenged of the Philistines for my two eyes.
16:29 Abraçou-se, pois, Sansão com as duas colunas do meio, em que se sustinha a casa, arrimando-se numa com a mão direita, e na outra com a esquerda.
16:29 And Samson took hold of the two middle pillars upon which the house stood, and on which it was borne up, of the one with his right hand, and of the other with his left.
16:30 E bradando: Morra eu com os filisteus! inclinou-se com toda a sua força, e a casa caiu sobre os chefes e sobre todo o povo que nela havia. Assim foram mais os que matou ao morrer, do que os que matara em vida.
16:30 And Samson said, Let me die with the Philistines. And he bowed himself with all his might; and the house fell upon the lords, and upon all the people that were therein. So the dead which he slew at his death were more than they which he slew in his life.
16:31 Então desceram os seus irmãos e toda a casa de seu pai e, tomando-o, o levaram e o sepultaram, entre Zorá e Estaol, no sepulcro de Manoá, seu pai. Ele havia julgado a Israel vinte anos.
16:31 Then his brethren and all the house of his father came down, and took him, and brought him up, and buried him between Zorah and Eshtaol in the buryingplace of Manoah his father. And he judged Israel twenty years.
Judges / JUÍZES
17:1 Havia um homem da região montanhosa de Efraim, cujo nome era Mica.
17:1 And there was a man of mount Ephraim, whose name was Micah.
17:2 Disse este a sua mãe: As mil e cem moedas de prata que te foram tiradas, por cuja causa lançaste maldições, e acerca das quais também me falaste, eis que esse dinheiro está comigo, eu o tomei. Então disse sua mãe: Bendito do Senhor seja meu filho!
17:2 And he said unto his mother, The eleven hundred shekels of silver that were taken from you, about which you cursed, and spoke of also in mine ears, behold, the silver is with me; I took it. And his mother said, Blessed be you of the LORD, my son.
17:3 E ele restituiu as mil e cem moedas de prata a sua mãe; porém ela disse: Da minha mão dedico solenemente este dinheiro ao Senhor a favor de meu filho, para fazer uma imagem esculpida e uma de fundição; de sorte que agora to tornarei a dar.
17:3 And when he had restored the eleven hundred shekels of silver to his mother, his mother said, I had wholly dedicated the silver unto the LORD from my hand for my son, to make a graven image and a molten image: now therefore I will restore it unto you.
17:4 Quando ele restituiu o dinheiro a sua mãe, ela tomou duzentas moedas de prata, e as deu ao ourives, o qual fez delas uma imagem esculpida e uma de fundição, as quais ficaram em casa de Mica.
17:4 Yet he restored the money unto his mother; and his mother took two hundred shekels of silver, and gave them to the founder, who made thereof a graven image and a molten image: and they were in the house of Micah.
17:5 Ora, tinha este homem, Mica, uma casa de deuses; e fez um éfode e terafins, e consagrou um de seus filhos, que lhe serviu de sacerdote.
17:5 And the man Micah had an house of gods, and made an ephod, and teraphim, and consecrated one of his sons, who became his priest.
17:6 Naquelas dias não havia rei em Israel; cada qual fazia o que parecia bem aos seus olhos.
17:6 In those days there was no king in Israel, but every man did that which was right in his own eyes.
17:7 E havia um mancebo de Belém de Judá, da família de Judá, que era levita, e peregrinava ali.
17:7 And there was a young man out of Bethlehemjudah of the family of Judah, who was a Levite, and he sojourned there.
17:8 Este homem partiu da cidade de Belém de Judá para peregrinar onde quer que achasse conveniente. Seguindo ele o seu caminho, chegou r região montanhosa de Efraim, r casa de Mica,
17:8 And the man departed out of the city from Bethlehemjudah to sojourn where he could find a place: and he came to mount Ephraim to the house of Micah, as he journeyed.
17:9 o qual lhe perguntou: Donde vens? E ele lhe respondeu: Sou levita de Belém de Judá, e vou peregrinar onde achar conveniente.
17:9 And Micah said unto him, Whence come you? And he said unto him, I am a Levite of Bethlehemjudah, and I go to sojourn where I may find a place.
17:10 Então lhe disse Mica: Fica comigo, e sê-me por pai e sacerdote; e cada ano te darei dez moedas de prata, o vestuário e o sustento. E o levita entrou.
17:10 And Micah said unto him, Dwell with me, and be unto me a father and a priest, and I will give you ten shekels of silver by the year, and a suit of apparel, and your victuals. So the Levite went in.
17:11 Consentiu, pois, o levita em ficar com aquele homem, e lhe foi como um de seus filhos.
17:11 And the Levite was content to dwell with the man; and the young man was unto him as one of his sons.
17:12 E Mica consagrou o levita, e o mancebo lhe serviu de sacerdote, e ficou em sua casa.
17:12 And Micah consecrated the Levite; and the young man became his priest, and was in the house of Micah.
17:13 Então disse Mica: Agora sei que o Senhor me fará bem, porquanto tenho um levita por sacerdote.
17:13 Then said Micah, Now know I that the LORD will do me good, seeing I have a Levite to my priest.
Judges / JUÍZES
18:1 Naqueles dias não havia rei em Israel; a tribo dos danitas buscava para si herança em que habitar; porque até então não lhe havia caído a sua herança entre as tribos de Israel.
18:1 In those days there was no king in Israel: and in those days the tribe of the Danites sought them an inheritance to dwell in; for unto that day all their inheritance had not fallen unto them among the tribes of Israel.
18:2 E de Zorá e Estaol os filhos de Dã enviaram cinco homens da sua tribo, escolhidos dentre todo o povo, homens valorosos, para espiar e reconhecer a terra; e lhes disseram: Ide, reconhecei a terra. E chegaram eles r região montanhosa de Efraim, r casa de Mica, e passaram ali a noite.
18:2 And the children of Dan sent of their family five men from their coasts, men of valour, from Zorah, and from Eshtaol, to spy out the land, and to search it; and they said unto them, Go, search the land: who when they came to mount Ephraim, to the house of Micah, they lodged there.
18:3 Pois, estando eles perto da casa de Mica, reconheceram a voz do mancebo levita; e, dirigindo-se para lá, lhe perguntaram: Quem te trouxe para cá? que estás fazendo aqui? e que é isto que tens aqui?
18:3 When they were by the house of Micah, they knew the voice of the young man the Levite: and they turned in thither, and said unto him, Who brought you here? and what make you in this place? and what have you here?
18:4 E ele lhes respondeu: Assim e assim me tem feito Mica; ele me assalariou, e eu lhe sirvo e sacerdote.
18:4 And he said unto them, Thus and thus deals Micah with me, and has hired me, and I am his priest.
18:5 Então lhe disseram: Consulta a Deus, para que saibamos se será próspero o caminho que seguimos.
18:5 And they said unto him, Ask counsel, we pray you, of God, that we may know whether our way which we go shall be prosperous.
18:6 Ao que lhes disse o sacerdote: Ide em paz; perante o Senhor está o caminho que seguis.
18:6 And the priest said unto them, Go in peace: before the LORD is your way wherein all of you go.
18:7 Então foram-se aqueles cinco homens, e chegando a Laís, viram o povo que havia nela, como vivia em segurança, conforme o costume dos sidônios, quieto e desprecavido; não havia naquela terra falta de coisa alguma; era um povo rico e, estando longe dos sidônios, não tinha relações com ninguém.
18:7 Then the five men departed, and came to Laish, and saw the people that were therein, how they dwelt careless, after the manner of the Zidonians, quiet and secure; and there was no magistrate in the land, that might put them to shame in any thing; and they were far from the Zidonians, and had no business with any man.
18:8 Então voltaram a seus irmãos, em Zorá e Estaol, os quais lhes perguntaram: Que dizeis vós?
18:8 And they came unto their brethren to Zorah and Eshtaol: and their brethren said unto them, What say all of you?
18:9 Eles responderam: Levantai-vos, e subamos contra eles; porque examinamos a terra, e eis que é muito boa. E vós estareis aqui tranqüilos? Não sejais preguiçosos em entrardes para tomar posse desta terra.
18:9 And they said, Arise, that we may go up against them: for we have seen the land, and, behold, it is very good: and are all of you still? be not slothful to go, and to enter to possess the land.
18:10 Quando lá chegardes, achareis um povo desprecavido, e a terra é muito espaçosa; pois Deus vos entregou na mão um lugar em que não há falta de coisa alguma que há na terra.
18:10 When all of you go, all of you shall come unto a people secure, and to a large land: for God has given it into your hands; a place where there is no lack of any thing that is in the earth.
18:11 Então seiscentos homens da tribo dos danitas partiram de Zorá e Estaol, munidos de armas de guerra.
18:11 And there went from thence of the family of the Danites, out of Zorah and out of Eshtaol, six hundred men appointed with weapons of war.
18:12 E, tendo subido, acamparam-se em Quiriate-Jearim, em Judá; pelo que esse lugar ficou sendo chamado Maané-Dã, até o dia de hoje; eis que está ao ocidente de Quiriate-Jearim.
18:12 And they went up, and pitched in Kirjathjearim, in Judah: wherefore they called that place Mahanehdan unto this day: behold, it is behind Kirjathjearim.
18:13 Dali passaram r região montanhosa de Efraim, e chegaram r casa de Mica.
18:13 And they passed thence unto mount Ephraim, and came unto the house of Micah.
18:14 Então os cinco homens que tinham ido espiar a terra de Laís disseram a seus irmãos: Sabeis vós que naquelas casas há um éfode, e terafins, e uma imagem esculpida e uma de fundição? Considerai, pois, agora o que haveis de fazer.
18:14 Then answered the five men that went to spy out the country of Laish, and said unto their brethren, Do all of you know that there is in these houses an ephod, and teraphim, and a graven image, and a molten image? now therefore consider what all of you have to do.
18:15 Então se dirigiram para lá, e chegaram r casa do mancebo, o levita, r casa de Mica, e o saudaram.
18:15 And they turned in that direction, and came to the house of the young man the Levite, even unto the house of Micah, and saluted him.
18:16 E os seiscentos homens dos danitas, munidos de suas armas de guerra, ficaram r entrada da porta.
18:16 And the six hundred men appointed with their weapons of war, which were of the children of Dan, stood by the entering of the gate.
18:17 Mas subindo os cinco homens que haviam espiado a terra, entraram ali e tomaram a imagem esculpida, e éfode, os terafins e a imagem de fundição, ficando o sacerdote em pé r entrada da porta, com os seiscentos homens armados.
18:17 And the five men that went to spy out the land went up, and came in thither, and took the graven image, and the ephod, and the teraphim, and the molten image: and the priest stood in the entering of the gate with the six hundred men that were appointed with weapons of war.
18:18 Quando eles entraram na casa de Mica, e tomaram a imagem esculpida, o éfode, os terafins e a imagem de fundição, perguntou-lhes o sacerdote: Que estais fazendo?
18:18 And these went into Micah's house, and fetched the carved image, the ephod, and the teraphim, and the molten image. Then said the priest unto them, What do all of you?
18:19 E eles lhe responderam: Cala-te, põe a mão sobre a boca, e vem conosco, e sê-nos por pai e sacerdote. Que te é melhor? ser sacerdote da casa dum só homem, ou duma tribo e duma geração em Israel?
18:19 And they said unto him, Hold your peace, lay yours hand upon your mouth, and go with us, and be to us a father and a priest: is it better for you to be a priest unto the house of one man, or that you be a priest unto a tribe and a family in Israel?
18:20 Então alegrou-se o coração do sacerdote, o qual tomou o éfode, os terafins e a imagem esculpida, e entrou no meio do povo.
18:20 And the priest's heart was glad, and he took the ephod, and the teraphim, and the graven image, and went in the midst of the people.
18:21 E, virando-se, partiram, tendo posto diante de si os pequeninos, o gado e a bagagem.
18:21 So they turned and departed, and put the little ones and the cattle and the carriage before them.
18:22 Estando eles já longe da casa de Mica, os homens que estavam nas casas vizinhas r dele se reuniram, e alcançaram os filhos de Dã.
18:22 And when they were a good way from the house of Micah, the men that were in the houses near to Micah's house were gathered together, and overtook the children of Dan.
18:23 E clamaram após os filhos de Dã, os quais, virando-se, perguntaram a Mica: Que é que tens, visto que vens com tanta gente?
18:23 And they cried unto the children of Dan. And they turned their faces, and said unto Micah, What disturbs you, that you come with such a company?
18:24 Então ele respondeu: Os meus deuses que eu fiz, vós me tomastes, juntamente com o sarcerdote, e partistes; e agora, que mais me fica? Como, pois, me dizeis: Que é que tens ?
18:24 And he said, All of you have taken away my gods which I made, and the priest, and all of you are gone away: and what have I more? and what is this that all of you say unto me, What disturbs you?
18:25 Mas os filhos de Dã lhe disseram: Não faças ouvir a tua voz entre nós, para que porventura homens violentos não se lancem sobre vós, e tu percas a tua vida, e a vida dos da tua casa.
18:25 And the children of Dan said unto him, Let not your voice be heard among us, lest angry fellows run upon you, and you lose your life, with the lives of your household.
18:26 Assim seguiram o seu caminho os filhos de Dã; e Mica, vendo que eram mais fortes do que ele, virou-se e voltou para sua casa.
18:26 And the children of Dan went their way: and when Micah saw that they were too strong for him, he turned and went back unto his house.
18:27 Eles, pois, levaram os objetos que Mica havia feito, e o sacerdote que estava com ele e, chegando a Laís, a um povo quieto e desprecavido, passaram-no ao fio da espada, e puseram fogo r cidade.
18:27 And they took the things which Micah had made, and the priest which he had, and came unto Laish, unto a people that were resting and secure: and they stroke them with the edge of the sword, and burnt the city with fire.
18:28 E ninguém houve que o livrasse, porquanto estava longe de Sidom, e não tinha relações com ninguém; a cidade estava no vale que está junto a Bete-Reobe. Depois, reedificando-a, habitaram nela,
18:28 And there was no deliverer, because it was far from Zidon, and they had no business with any man; and it was in the valley that lies by Bethrehob. And they built a city, and dwelt therein.
18:29 e chamaram-lhe Dã, segundo o nome de Dã, seu pai, que nascera a Israel; era, porém, dantes o nome desta cidade Laís.
18:29 And they called the name of the city Dan, after the name of Dan their father, who was born unto Israel: nevertheless the name of the city was Laish at the first.
18:30 Depois os filhos de Dã levantaram para si aquela imagem esculpida; e Jônatas, filho de Gérsom, o filho de Moisés, ele e seus filhos foram sacerdotes da tribo dos danitas, até o dia do cativeiro da terra.
18:30 And the children of Dan set up the graven image: and Jonathan, the son of Gershom, the son of Manasseh, he and his sons were priests to the tribe of Dan until the day of the captivity of the land.
18:31 Assim, pois, estabeleceram para si a imagem esculpida que Mica fizera, por todo o tempo em que a casa de Deus esteve em Siló.
18:31 And they set them up Micah's graven image, which he made, all the time that the house of God was in Shiloh.
Judges / JUÍZES
19:1 Aconteceu também naqueles dias, quando não havia rei em Israel, que certo levita, habitante das partes remotas da região montanhosa de Efraim, tomou para si uma concubina, de Belém de Judá.
19:1 And it came to pass in those days, when there was no king in Israel, that there was a certain Levite sojourning on the side of mount Ephraim, who took to him a concubine out of Bethlehemjudah.
19:2 Ora, a sua concubina adulterou contra ele e, deixando-o, foi para casa de seu pai em Belém de Judá, e ali ficou uns quatro meses.
19:2 And his concubine played the whore against him, and went away from him unto her father's house to Bethlehemjudah, and was there four whole months.
19:3 Seu marido, levantando-se, foi atrás dela para lhe falar bondosamente, a fim de tornar a trazê-la; e levava consigo o seu moço e um par de jumentos. Ela o levou r casa de seu pai, o qual, vendo-o, saiu alegremente a encontrar-se com ele.
19:3 And her husband arose, and went after her, to speak friendly unto her, and to bring her again, having his servant with him, and a couple of asses: and she brought him into her father's house: and when the father of the damsel saw him, he rejoiced to meet him.
19:4 E seu sogro, o pai da moça, o deteve consigo três dias; assim comeram e beberam, e se alojaram ali.
19:4 And his father in law, the damsel's father, retained him; and he abode with him three days: so they did eat and drink, and lodged there.
19:5 Ao quarto dia madrugaram, e ele se levantou para partir. Então o pai da moça disse a seu genro: Fortalece-te com um bocado de pão, e depois partireis:
19:5 And it came to pass on the fourth day, when they arose early in the morning, that he rose up to depart: and the damsel's father said unto his son in law, Comfort yours heart with a morsel of bread, and afterward go your way.
19:6 Sentando-se, pois, ambos juntos, comeram e beberam; e disse o pai da moça ao homem: Peço-te que fiques ainda esta noite aqui, e alegre-se o teu coração.
19:6 And they sat down, and did eat and drink both of them together: for the damsel's father had said unto the man, Be content, I pray you, and tarry all night, and let yours heart be merry.
19:7 O homem, porém, levantou-se para partir; mas, como seu sogro insistisse, tornou a passar a noite ali.
19:7 And when the man rose up to depart, his father in law urged him: therefore he lodged there again.
19:8 Também ao quinto dia madrugaram para partir; e disse o pai da moça: Ora, conforta o teu coração, e detém-te até o declinar do dia. E ambos juntos comeram.
19:8 And he arose early in the morning on the fifth day to depart; and the damsel's father said, Comfort yours heart, I pray you. And they tarried until afternoon, and they did eat both of them.
19:9 Então o homem se levantou para partir, ele, a sua concubina, e o seu moço; e disse-lhe seu sogro, o pai da moça: Eis que já o dia declina para a tarde; peço-te que aqui passes a noite. O dia já vai acabando; passa aqui a noite, e alegre-se o teu coração: Amanhã de madrugada levanta-te para encetares viagem, e irás para a tua tenda.
19:9 And when the man rose up to depart, he, and his concubine, and his servant, his father in law, the damsel's father, said unto him, Behold, now the day draws toward evening, I pray you tarry all night: behold, the day grows to an end, lodge here, that yours heart may be merry; and tomorrow get you early on your way, that you may go home.
19:10 Entretanto, o homem não quis passar a noite ali, mas, levantando-se, partiu e chegou r altura de Jebus (que é Jerusalém), e com ele o par de jumentos albardados, como também a sua concubina.
19:10 But the man would not tarry that night, but he rose up and departed, and came opposite to Jebus, which is Jerusalem; and there were with him two asses saddled, his concubine also was with him.
19:11 Quando estavam perto de Jebus, já o dia tinha declinado muito; e disse o moço a seu senhor: Vem, peço-te, retiremo-nos a esta cidade dos jebuseus, e passemos nela a noite.
19:11 And when they were by Jebus, the day was far spent; and the servant said unto his master, Come, I pray you, and let us turn in into this city of the Jebusites, and lodge in it.
19:12 Respondeu-lhe, porém, o seu senhor: Não nos retiraremos a nenhuma cidade estrangeira, que não seja dos filhos de Israel, mas passaremos até Gibeá.
19:12 And his master said unto him, We will not turn aside here into the city of a stranger, that is not of the children of Israel; we will pass over to Gibeah.
19:13 Disse mais a seu moço: Vem, cheguemos a um destes lugares, Gibeá ou Ramá, e passemos ali a noite.
19:13 And he said unto his servant, Come, and let us draw near to one of these places to lodge all night, in Gibeah, or in Ramah.
19:14 Passaram, pois, continuando o seu caminho; e o sol se pôs quando estavam perto de Gibeá, que pertence a Benjamim.
19:14 And they passed on and went their way; and the sun went down upon them when they were by Gibeah, which belongs to Benjamin.
19:15 Pelo que se dirigiram para lá, a fim de passarem ali a noite; e o levita, entrando, sentou-se na praça da cidade, porque não houve quem os recolhesse em casa para ali passarem a noite.
19:15 And they turned aside thither, to go in and to lodge in Gibeah: and when he went in, he sat him down in a street of the city: for there was no man that took them into his house to lodging.
19:16 Eis que ao anoitecer vinha do seu trabalho no campo um ancião; era ele da região montanhosa de Efraim, mas habitava em Gibeá; os homens deste lugar, porém, eram benjamitas.
19:16 And, behold, there came an old man from his work out of the field at even, which was also of mount Ephraim; and he sojourned in Gibeah: but the men of the place were Benjamites.
19:17 Levantando ele os olhos, viu na praça da cidade o viajante, e perguntou-lhe: Para onde vais, e donde vens?
19:17 And when he had lifted up his eyes, he saw a travelling man in the street of the city: and the old man said, Where go you? and whence come you?
19:18 Respondeu-lhe ele: Estamos de viagem de Belém de Judá para as partes remotas da região montanhosa de Efraim, donde sou. Fui a Belém de Judá, porém agora vou r casa do Senhor; e ninguem há que me recolha em casa.
19:18 And he said unto him, We are passing from Bethlehemjudah toward the side of mount Ephraim; from thence am I: and I went to Bethlehemjudah, but I am now going to the house of the LORD; and there is no man that receives me to house.
19:19 Todavia temos palha e forragem para os nossos jumentos; também há pão e vinho para mim, para a tua serva, e para o moço que vem com os teus servos; de coisa nenhuma há falta.
19:19 Yet there is both straw and animal food for our asses; and there is bread and wine also for me, and for your handmaid, and for the young man which is with your servants: there is no lack of any thing.
19:20 Disse-lhe o ancião: Paz seja contigo; tudo quanto te faltar fique ao meu cargo; tão-somente não passes a noite na praça.
19:20 And the old man said, Peace be with you; howsoever let all your wants lie upon me; only lodge not in the street.
19:21 Assim o fez entrar em sua casa, e deu ração aos jumentos; e, depois de lavarem os pés, comeram e beberam.
19:21 So he brought him into his house, and gave animal food unto the asses: and they washed their feet, and did eat and drink.
19:22 Enquanto eles alegravam o seu coração, eis que os homens daquela cidade, filhos de Belial, cercaram a casa, bateram r porta, e disseram ao ancião, dono da casa: Traze cá para fora o homem que entrou em tua casa, para que o conheçamos.
19:22 Now as they were making their hearts merry, behold, the men of the city, certain sons of Belial, beset the house round about, and beat at the door, and spoke to the master of the house, the old man, saying, Bring forth the man that came into yours house, that we may know him.
19:23 O dono da casa saiu a ter com eles, e disse-lhes: Não, irmãos meus, não façais semelhante mal; já que este homem entrou em minha casa, não façais essa loucura.
19:23 And the man, the master of the house, went out unto them, and said unto them, Nay, my brethren, nay, I pray you, do not so wickedly; seeing that this man has come into mine house, do not this folly.
19:24 Aqui estão a minha filha virgem e a concubina do homem; fá-las-ei sair; humilhai-as a elas, e fazei delas o que parecer bem aos vossos olhos; porém a este homem não façais tal loucura.
19:24 Behold, here is my daughter a maiden, and his concubine; them I will bring out now, and humble all of you them, and do with them what seems good unto you: but unto this man do not so vile a thing.
19:25 Mas esses homens não o quiseram ouvir; então aquele homem pegou da sua concubina, e lha tirou para fora. Eles a conheceram e abusaram dela a noite toda até pela manhã; e ao subir da alva deixaram-na:
19:25 But the men would not hearken to him: so the man took his concubine, and brought her forth unto them; and they had sexual contact with her, and abused her all the night until the morning: and when the day began to spring, they let her go.
19:26 Ao romper do dia veio a mulher e caiu r porta da casa do homem, onde estava seu senhor, e ficou ali até que se fez claro.
19:26 Then came the woman in the dawning of the day, and fell down at the door of the man's house where her lord was, till it was light.
19:27 Levantando-se pela manhã seu senhor, abriu as portas da casa, e ia sair para seguir o seu caminho; e eis que a mulher, sua concubina, jazia r porta da casa, com as mãos sobre o limiar.
19:27 And her lord rose up in the morning, and opened the doors of the house, and went out to go his way: and, behold, the woman his concubine was fallen down at the door of the house, and her hands were upon the threshold.
19:28 Ele lhe disse: Levanta-te, e vamo-nos; porém ela não respondeu. Então a pôs sobre o jumento e, partindo dali, foi para o seu lugar.
19:28 And he said unto her, Up, and let us be going. But none answered. Then the man took her up upon an ass, and the man rose up, and got him unto his place.
19:29 Quando chegou em casa, tomou um cutelo e, pegando na sua concubina, a dividiu, membro por membro, em doze pedaços, que ele enviou por todo o território de Israel.
19:29 And when he was come into his house, he took a knife, and laid hold on his concubine, and divided her, together with her bones, into twelve pieces, and sent her into all the coasts of Israel.
19:30 E sucedeu que cada um que via aquilo dizia: Nunca tal coisa se fez, nem se viu, desde o dia em que os filhos de Israel subiram da terra do Egito até o dia de hoje; ponderai isto, consultai, e dai o vosso parecer.
19:30 And it was so, that all that saw it said, There was no such deed done nor seen from the day that the children of Israel came up out of the land of Egypt unto this day: consider of it, take advice, and speak your minds.
Judges / JUÍZES
20:1 Então saíram todos os filhos de Israel, desde Dã até Berseba, e desde a terra de Gileade, e a congregação, como se fora um só homem, se ajuntou diante do senhor em Mizpá.
20:1 Then all the children of Israel went out, and the congregation was gathered together as one man, from Dan even to Beersheba, with the land of Gilead, unto the LORD in Mizpeh.
20:2 Os homens principais de todo o povo, de todas as tribos de Israel, apresentaram-se na assembléia do povo de Deus; eram quatrocentos mil homens de infantaria que arrancavam da espada.
20:2 And the chief of all the people, even of all the tribes of Israel, presented themselves in the assembly of the people of God, four hundred thousand footmen that drew sword.
20:3 (Ora, ouviram os filhos de Benjamim que os filhos de Israel haviam subido a Mizpá). E disseram os filhos de Israel: Dizei-nos, de que modo se cometeu essa maldade?
20:3 (Now the children of Benjamin heard that the children of Israel were gone up to Mizpeh.) Then said the children of Israel, Tell us, how was this wickedness?
20:4 Então respondeu o levita, marido da mulher que fora morta, e disse: Cheguei com a minha concubina a Gibeá, que pertence a Benjamim, para ali passar a noite;
20:4 And the Levite, the husband of the woman that was slain, answered and said, I came into Gibeah that belongs to Benjamin, I and my concubine, to lodge.
20:5 e os cidadãos de Gibeá se levantaram contra mim, e cercaram e noite a casa em que eu estava; a mim intentaram matar, e violaram a minha concubina, de maneira que morreu.
20:5 And the men of Gibeah rose against me, and beset the house round about upon me by night, and thought to have slain me: and my concubine have they forced, that she is dead.
20:6 Então peguei na minha concubina, dividi-a em pedaços e os enviei por todo o país da herança de Israel, porquanto cometeram tal abominação e loucura em Israel:
20:6 And I took my concubine, and cut her in pieces, and sent her throughout all the country of the inheritance of Israel: for they have committed lewdness and folly in Israel.
20:7 Eis aqui estais todos vós, ó filhos de Israel; dai a vossa palavra e conselho neste caso.
20:7 Behold, all of you are all children of Israel; give here your advice and counsel.
20:8 Então todo o povo se levantou como um só homem, dizendo: Nenhum de nós irá r sua tenda, e nenhum de nós voltará a sua casa.
20:8 And all the people arose as one man, saying, We will not any of us go to his tent, neither will we any of us turn into his house.
20:9 Mas isto é o que faremos a Gibeá: subiremos contra ela por sorte;
20:9 But now this shall be the thing which we will do to Gibeah; we will go up by lot against it;
20:10 tomaremos, de todas as tribos de Israel, dez homens de cada cem, cem de cada mil, e mil de cada dez mil, para trazerem mantimento para o povo, a fim de que, vindo ele a Gibeá de Benjamim, lhe faça conforme toda a loucura que ela fez em Israel.
20:10 And we will take ten men of an hundred throughout all the tribes of Israel, and an hundred of a thousand, and a thousand out of ten thousand, to fetch victual for the people, that they may do, when they come to Gibeah of Benjamin, according to all the folly that they have wrought in Israel.
20:11 Assim se ajuntaram contra essa cidade todos os homens de Israel, unidos como um só homem.
20:11 So all the men of Israel were gathered against the city, knit together as one man.
20:12 Então as tribos de Israel enviaram homens por toda a tribo de Benjamim, para lhe dizerem: Que maldade é essa que se fez entre vós?
20:12 And the tribes of Israel sent men through all the tribe of Benjamin, saying, What wickedness is this that is done among you?
20:13 Entregai-nos, pois, agora aqueles homens, filhos de Belial, que estão em Gibeá, para que os matemos, e extirpemos de Israel este mal. Mas os filhos de Benjamim não quiseram dar ouvidos r voz de seus irmãos, os filhos de Israel;
20:13 Now therefore deliver us the men, the children of Belial, which are in Gibeah, that we may put them to death, and put away evil from Israel. But the children of Benjamin would not hearken to the voice of their brethren the children of Israel.
20:14 pelo contrário, das suas cidades se ajuntaram em Gibeá, para saírem a pelejar contra os filhos de Israel:
20:14 But the children of Benjamin gathered themselves together out of the cities unto Gibeah, to go out to battle against the children of Israel.
20:15 Ora, contaram-se naquele dia dos filhos de Benjamim, vindos das suas cidades, vinte e seis mil homens que arrancavam da espada, afora os moradores de Gibeá, de que se sentaram setecentos homens escolhidos.
20:15 And the children of Benjamin were numbered at that time out of the cities twenty and six thousand men that drew sword, beside the inhabitants of Gibeah, which were numbered seven hundred chosen men.
20:16 Entre todo esse povo havia setecentos homens escolhidos, canhotos, cada um dos quais podia, com a funda, atirar uma pedra a um fio de cabelo, sem errar.
20:16 Among all this people there were seven hundred chosen men lefthanded; every one could sling stones at an hair breadth, and not miss.
20:17 Contaram-se também dos homens de Israel, afora os de Benjamim, quatrocentos mil homens que arrancavam da espada, e todos eles homens de guerra.
20:17 And the men of Israel, beside Benjamin, were numbered four hundred thousand men that drew sword: all these were men of war.
20:18 Então, levantando-se os filhos de Israel, subiram a Betel, e consultaram a Deus, perguntando: Quem dentre nós subirá primeiro a pelejar contra Benjamim ? Respondeu o Senhor: Judá subirá primeiro.
20:18 And the children of Israel arose, and went up to the house of God, and asked counsel of God, and said, Which of us shall go up first to the battle against the children of Benjamin? And the LORD said, Judah shall go up first.
20:19 Levantaram-se, pois, os filhos de Israel pela manhã, e acamparam contra Gibeá.
20:19 And the children of Israel rose up in the morning, and encamped against Gibeah.
20:20 E os homens de Israel saíram a pelejar contra os benjamitas, e ordenaram a batalha contra eles ao pé de Gibeá.
20:20 And the men of Israel went out to battle against Benjamin; and the men of Israel put themselves in array to fight against them at Gibeah.
20:21 Então os filhos de Benjamim saíram de Gibeá, e derrubaram por terra naquele dia vinte e dois mil homens de Israel.
20:21 And the children of Benjamin came forth out of Gibeah, and destroyed down to the ground of the Israelites that day twenty and two thousand men.
20:22 Mas esforçou-se o povo, isto é, os homens de Israel, e tornaram a ordenar a batalha no lugar onde no primeiro dia a tinham ordenado.
20:22 And the people the men of Israel encouraged themselves, and set their battle again in array in the place where they put themselves in array the first day.
20:23 E subiram os filhos de Israel, e choraram perante o Senhor até a tarde, e perguntaram-lhe: Tornaremos a pelejar contra os filhos de Benjamim, nosso irmão? E disse o Senhor: Subi contra eles.
20:23 (And the children of Israel went up and wept before the LORD until even, and asked counsel of the LORD, saying, Shall I go up again to battle against the children of Benjamin my brother? And the LORD said, Go up against him.)
20:24 Avançaram, pois, os filhos de Israel contra os filhos de Benjamim, no dia seguinte.
20:24 And the children of Israel came near against the children of Benjamin the second day.
20:25 Também os de Benjamim, nesse mesmo dia, saíram de Gibeá ao seu encontro e derrubaram por terra mais dezoito mil homens, sendo todos estes dos que arrancavam da espada.
20:25 And Benjamin went forth against them out of Gibeah the second day, and destroyed down to the ground of the children of Israel again eighteen thousand men; all these drew the sword.
20:26 Então todos os filhos de Israel, o exército todo, subiram e, vindo a Betel, choraram; estiveram ali sentados perante o Senhor, e jejuaram aquele dia até a tarde; e ofereceram holocaustos e ofertas pacíficas perante ao Senhor.
20:26 Then all the children of Israel, and all the people, went up, and came unto the house of God, and wept, and sat there before the LORD, and fasted that day until even, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the LORD.
20:27 Consultaram, pois, os filhos de Israel ao Senhor (porquanto a arca do pacto de Deus estava ali naqueles dias;
20:27 And the children of Israel enquired of the LORD, (for the ark of the covenant of God was there in those days,
20:28 e Finéias, filho de Eleazar, filho de Arão, lhe assistia), e perguntaram: Tornaremos ainda a sair r pelejar contra os filhos de Benjamim, nosso irmão, eu desistiremos? Respondeu o Senhor: Subi, porque amanhã vo-los entregarei nas mãos.
20:28 And Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron, stood before it in those days,) saying, Shall I yet again go out to battle against the children of Benjamin my brother, or shall I cease? And the LORD said, Go up; in order to morrow I will deliver them into yours hand.
20:29 Então Israel pôs emboscadas ao redor de Gibeá.
20:29 And Israel set hidden attackers in wait round about Gibeah.
20:30 E ao terceiro dia subiram os filhos de Israel contra os filhos de Benjamim e, como das outras vezes, ordenaram a batalha junto a Gibeá.
20:30 And the children of Israel went up against the children of Benjamin on the third day, and put themselves in array against Gibeah, as at other times.
20:31 Então os filhos de Benjamim saíram ao encontro do povo, e foram atraídos da cidade. e começaram a ferir o povo como das outras vezes, matando uns trinta homens de Israel, pelos caminhos, um dos quais sobe para Betel, e o outro para Gibeá pelo campo.
20:31 And the children of Benjamin went out against the people, and were drawn away from the city; and they began to strike of the people, and kill, as at other times, in the highways, of which one goes up to the house of God, and the other to Gibeah in the field, about thirty men of Israel.
20:32 Pelo que disseram os filhos de Benjamim: Vão sendo derrotados diante de nós como dantes. Mas os filhos de Israel disseram: Fujamos, e atraiamo-los da cidade para os caminhos.
20:32 And the children of Benjamin said, They are smitten down before us, as at the first. But the children of Israel said, Let us flee, and draw them from the city unto the highways.
20:33 Então todos os homens de Israel se levantaram do seu lugar, e ordenaram a batalha em Baal-Tamar; e a emboscada de Israel irrompeu do seu lugar, a oeste de Geba.
20:33 And all the men of Israel rose up out of their place, and put themselves in array at Baaltamar: and the hidden attackers in wait of Israel came forth out of their places, even out of the meadows of Gibeah.
20:34 Vieram contra Gibeá dez mil homens escolhidos de todo o Israel, e a batalha tornou-se rude; porém os de Gibeá não sabiam que o mal lhes sobrevinha.
20:34 And there came against Gibeah ten thousand chosen men out of all Israel, and the battle was sore: but they knew not that evil was near them.
20:35 Então o Senhor derrotou a Benjamim diante dos filhos de Israel, que destruíram naquele dia vinte e cinco mil e cem homens de Benjamim, todos estes dos que arrancavam da espada.
20:35 And the LORD stroke Benjamin before Israel: and the children of Israel destroyed of the Benjamites that day twenty and five thousand and an hundred men: all these drew the sword.
20:36 Assim os filhos de Benjamim viram que estavam derrotados; pois os homens de Israel haviam cedido terreno aos benjamitas, porquanto estavam confiados na emboscada que haviam posto contra Gibea;
20:36 So the children of Benjamin saw that they were smitten: for the men of Israel gave place to the Benjamites, because they trusted unto the hidden attackers in wait which they had set beside Gibeah.
20:37 e a emboscada, apressando-se, acometeu a Gibeá, e prosseguiu contra ela, ferindo ao fio da espada toda a cidade:
20:37 And the hidden attackers in wait hasted, and rushed upon Gibeah; and the hidden attackers in wait drew themselves along, and stroke all the city with the edge of the sword.
20:38 Ora, os homens de Israel tinham determinado com a emboscada um sinal, que era fazer levantar da cidade uma grande nuvem de fumaça.
20:38 Now there was an appointed sign between the men of Israel and the hidden attackers in wait, that they should make a great flame with smoke rise up out of the city.
20:39 Viraram-se, pois, os homens de Israel na peleja; e já Benjamim cemeçara a atacar es homens de Israel, havendo morto uns trinta deles; pelo que diziam: Certamente vão sendo derrotados diante de nós, como na primeira batalha.
20:39 And when the men of Israel retired in the battle, Benjamin began to strike and kill of the men of Israel about thirty persons: for they said, Surely they are smitten down before us, as in the first battle.
20:40 Mas quando o sinal começou a levantar-se da cidade, numa coluna de fumaça, os benjamitas olharam para trás de si, e eis que toda a cidade subia em fumaça ao céu.
20:40 But when the flame began to arise up out of the city with a pillar of smoke, the Benjamites looked behind them, and, behold, the flame of the city ascended up to heaven.
20:41 Nisso os homens de Israel se viraram contra os de Benjamim, os quais pasmaram, pois viram que o mal lhes sobreviera.
20:41 And when the men of Israel turned again, the men of Benjamin were amazed: for they saw that evil was come upon them.
20:42 Portanto, virando as costas diante dos homens de Israel, fugiram para o caminho do deserto; porém a peleja os apertou; e os que saíam das cidades os destruíam no meio deles.
20:42 Therefore they turned their backs before the men of Israel unto the way of the wilderness; but the battle overtook them; and them which came out of the cities they destroyed in the midst of them.
20:43 Cercaram os benjamitas e os perseguiram, pisando-os desde Noá até a altura de Gibeá para o nascente do sol.
20:43 Thus they enclosed the Benjamites round about, and chased them, and trode them down with ease opposite to Gibeah toward the sunrising.
20:44 Assim caíram de Benjamim dezoito mil homens, sendo todos estes homens valorosos.
20:44 And there fell of Benjamin eighteen thousand men; all these were men of valour.
20:45 Então os restantes, virando as costas fugiram para deserto, até a penha de Rimom; mas os filhos de Israel colheram deles pelos caminhos ainda cinco mil homens; e, seguindo-os de perto até Gidom, mataram deles mais dois mil.
20:45 And they turned and fled toward the wilderness unto the rock of Rimmon: and they gleaned of them in the highways five thousand men; and pursued hard after them unto Gidom, and slew two thousand men of them.
20:46 E, todos, os de Benjamim que caíram naquele dia oram vinte e cinco mil homens que arrancavam da espada, todos eles homens valorosos.
20:46 So that all which fell that day of Benjamin were twenty and five thousand men that drew the sword; all these were men of valour.
20:47 Mas seiscentos homens viraram as costas e, fugindo para o deserto, para a penha de Rimom, ficaram ali quatro meses.
20:47 But six hundred men turned and fled to the wilderness unto the rock Rimmon, and abode in the rock Rimmon four months.
20:48 E os homens de Israel voltaram para os filhos de Benjamim, e os passaram ao fio da espada, tanto os homens da cidade como os animais, tudo quanto encontraram; e a todas as cidades que acharam puseram fogo.
20:48 And the men of Israel turned again upon the children of Benjamin, and stroke them with the edge of the sword, as well the men of every city, as the beast, and all that came to hand: also they set on fire all the cities that they came to.
Judges / JUÍZES
21:1 Ora, os homens de Israel tinham jurado em Mizpá dizendo: Nenhum de nós dará sua filha por mulher aos benjamitas.
21:1 Now the men of Israel had sworn in Mizpeh, saying, There shall not any of us give his daughter unto Benjamin to wife.
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,
21:2 And the people came to the house of God, and abode there till even before God, and lifted up their voices, and wept sore;
21:3 e disseram: Ah! Senhor Deus de Israel, por que sucedeu isto, que falte uma tribo em Israel?
21:3 And said, O LORD God of Israel, why is this come to pass in Israel, that there should be to day one tribe lacking in Israel?
21:4 No dia seguinte o povo levantou-se de manhã cedo, edificou ali um altar e ofereceu holocaustos e ofertas pacíficas.
21:4 And it came to pass on the next day, that the people rose early, and built there an altar, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings.
21:5 E disseram os filhos de Israel: Quem dentre todas as tribos de Israel não subiu r assembléia diante do Senhor? Porque se tinha feito um juramento solene acerca daquele que não subisse ao Senhor em Mizpá, dizendo: Certamente será morto.
21:5 And the children of Israel said, Who is there among all the tribes of Israel that came not up with the congregation unto the LORD? For they had made a great oath concerning him that came not up to the LORD to Mizpeh, saying, He shall surely be put to death.
21:6 E os filhos de Israel tiveram pena de Benjamim, seu irmão, e disseram: Hoje é cortada de Israel uma tribo.
21:6 And the children of Israel repented them for Benjamin their brother, and said, There is one tribe cut off from Israel this day.
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?
21:7 How shall we do for wives for them that remain, seeing we have sworn by the LORD that we will not give them of our daughters to wives?
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, r assembléia.
21:8 And they said, What one is there of the tribes of Israel that came not up to Mizpeh to the LORD? And, behold, there came none to the camp from Jabeshgilead to the assembly.
21:9 Porquanto, ao contar-se o povo, nenhum dos habitantes de Jabes-Gileade estava ali.
21:9 For the people were numbered, and, behold, there were none of the inhabitants of Jabeshgilead there.
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.
21:10 And the congregation sent thither twelve thousand men of the valiant, and commanded them, saying, Go and strike the inhabitants of Jabeshgilead with the edge of the sword, with the women and the children.
21:11 Mas isto é o que haveis de fazer: A todo homem e a toda mulher que tiver conhecido homem, totalmente destruireis.
21:11 And this is the thing that all of you shall do, All of you shall utterly destroy every male, and every woman that has lain by man.
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.
21:12 And they found among the inhabitants of Jabeshgilead four hundred young virgins, that had known no man by lying with any male: and they brought them unto the camp to Shiloh, which is in the land of Canaan.
21:13 Toda a congregação enviou mensageiros aos filhos de Benjamim, que estavam na penha de Rimom, e lhes proclamou a paz.
21:13 And the whole congregation sent some to speak to the children of Benjamin that were in the rock Rimmon, and to call peaceably unto them.
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.
21:14 And Benjamin came again at that time; and they gave them wives which they had saved alive of the women of Jabeshgilead: and yet so they sufficed them not.
21:15 E o povo teve pena de Benjamim, porquanto o Senhor tinha aberto uma brecha nas tribos de Israel.
21:15 And the people repented them for Benjamin, because that the LORD had made a breach in the tribes of Israel.
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?
21:16 Then the elders of the congregation said, How shall we do for wives for them that remain, seeing the women are destroyed out of Benjamin?
21:17 Disseram mais: Deve haver uma herança para os que restam de Benjamim, para que uma tribo não seja apagada de Israel.
21:17 And they said, There must be an inheritance for them that be escaped of Benjamin, that a tribe be not destroyed out of Israel.
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.
21:18 Nevertheless we may not give them wives of our daughters: for the children of Israel have sworn, saying, Cursed be he that gives a wife to Benjamin.
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.
21:19 Then they said, Behold, there is a feast of the LORD in Shiloh yearly in a place which is on the north side of Bethel, on the east side of the highway that goes up from Bethel to Shechem, and on the south of Lebonah.
21:20 Ordenaram, pois, aos filhos de Benjamim, dizendo: Ide, ponde-vos de emboscada nas vinhas,
21:20 Therefore they commanded the children of Benjamin, saying, Go and lie in wait in the vineyards;
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.
21:21 And see, and, behold, if the daughters of Shiloh come out to dance in dances, then come all of you out of the vineyards, and catch you every man his wife of the daughters of Shiloh, and go to the land of Benjamin.
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.
21:22 And it shall be, when their fathers or their brethren come unto us to complain, that we will say unto them, Be favourable unto them for our sakes: because we reserved not to each man his wife in the war: for all of you did not give unto them at this time, that all of you should be guilty.
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 r sua herança, reedificaram as cidades e habitaram nelas.
21:23 And the children of Benjamin did so, and took them wives, according to their number, of them that danced, whom they caught: and they went and returned unto their inheritance, and repaired the cities, and dwelt in them.
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.
21:24 And the children of Israel departed thence at that time, every man to his tribe and to his family, and they went out from thence every man to his inheritance.
21:25 Naqueles dias não havia rei em Israel; cada um fazia o que parecia bem aos seus olhos.
21:25 In those days there was no king in Israel: every man did that which was right in his own eyes.
