Juízes 15
1 E aconteceu, depois d'alguns dias, que na sega do trigo Sansão visitou a sua mulher com um cabrito, e disse: Entrarei na camara a minha mulher. Porém o pae d'ella não o deixou entrar.
But after a while, in the time of wheat harvest, that Samson visited his wife with a young goat; and he said, "I will go in to my wife into the room." But her father wouldn't allow him to go in.
2 Porque disse seu pae: Por certo dizia eu que de todo a aborrecias: de sorte que a dei ao teu companheiro: porém não é sua irmã mais nova, mais formosa do que ella? toma-a pois em seu logar.
Her father said, "I most certainly thought that you had utterly hated her; therefore I gave her to your companion. Isn't her younger sister more beautiful than she is? Please take her, instead."
3 Então Sansão disse ácerca d'elles: Innocente sou esta vez para com os philisteos, quando lhes fizer algum mal.
Samson said to him, "This time I will be blameless in regard of the Philistines, when I harm them."
4 E foi Sansão, e tomou trezentas raposas: e, tomando tições, as virou cauda a cauda, e lhes poz um tição no meio de cada duas caudas.
Samson went and caught three hundred foxes, and took torches, and turned tail to tail, and put a torch in the midst between every two tails.
5 E chegou fogo aos tições, e largou-as na seara dos philisteos: e assim abrazou os molhos com a sega do trigo, e as vinhas com os olivaes.
And when he had set fire to the torches, he let them go into the standing grain of the Philistines, and burnt up both the shocks and the standing grain, as well as the vineyards and olive groves.
6 Então disseram os philisteos: Quem fez isto? E disseram: Sansão, o genro do Timnatha, porque lhe tomou a sua mulher, e a deu a seu companheiro. Então subiram os philisteos, e queimaram a fogo a ella e a seu pae.
Then the Philistines said, "Who has done this?" They said, "Samson, the son-in-law of the Timnite, because he has taken his wife, and given her to his companion." The Philistines came up, and burnt her and her father's house with fire.
7 Então lhes disse Sansão: Assim o haveis de fazer? pois havendo-me vingado eu de vós então cessarei.
Samson said to them, "Because you did this, I will surely take revenge on you, and after that I will cease."
8 E feriu-os com grande ferimento, perna juntamente com côxa: e desceu, e habitou no cume da rocha d'Etam.
He struck them hip and thigh with a great slaughter: and he went down and lived in the cleft of the rock of Etam.
9 Então os philisteos subiram, e acamparam-se contra Judah, e estenderam-se por Lechi,
Then the Philistines went up, and camped in Judah, and spread out in Lehi.
10 E disseram os homens de Judah: Porque subistes contra nós? E elles disseram: Subimos para amarrar a Sansão, para lhe fazer a elle como elle nos fez a nós.
The men of Judah said, "Why have you come up against us?" They said, "We have come up to bind Samson, to do to him as he has done to us."
11 Então tres mil homens de Judah desceram até á cova da rocha d'Etam, e disseram a Sansão: Não sabias tu que os philisteos dominam sobre nós? porque pois nos fizeste isto? E elle lhes disse: Assim como elles me fizeram a mim, eu lhes fiz a elles
Then three thousand men of Judah went down to the cleft of the rock of Etam, and said to Samson, "Do you not know that the Philistines are rulers over us? What then is this that you have done to us?" He said to them, "As they did to me, so have I done to them."
12 E disseram-lhe: Descemos para te amarrar, para te entregar nas mãos dos philisteos. Então Sansão lhes disse: Jurae-me que vós mesmos me não accommettereis.
They said to him, "We have come down to bind you, that we may deliver you into the hand of the Philistines." Samson said to them, "Swear to me that you will not fall on me yourselves."
13 E elles lhe fallaram, dizendo: Não, mas fortemente te amarraremos, e te entregaremos na sua mão; porém de maneira nenhuma te mataremos. E amarraram-n'o com duas cordas novas e fizeram-n'o subir da rocha.
They spoke to him, saying, "No; but we will bind you fast, and deliver you into their hand; but surely we will not kill you." They bound him with two new ropes, and brought him up from the rock.
14 E, vindo elle a Lechi, os philisteos lhe sairam ao encontro, jubilando: porém o espirito do Senhor possantemente se apossou d'elle, e as cordas que elle tinha nos braços se tornaram como fios de linho que se queimaram no fogo, e as suas amarraduras se desfizeram das suas mãos.
When he came to Lehi, the Philistines shouted as they met him: and the Spirit of the LORD rushed upon him, and the ropes that were on his arms became like flax that was burnt with fire, and his bands dropped from off his hands.
15 E achou uma queixada fresca d'um jumento, e estendeu a sua mão, e tomou-a, e feriu com ella mil homens,
And he found a fresh jawbone of a donkey, and reached down and took it, and struck a thousand men with it.
16 Então disse Sansão: Com uma queixada de jumento um montão, dois montões; com uma queixada de jumento feri a mil homens.
Samson said, "With the jawbone of a donkey, heaps on heaps; with the jawbone of a donkey I have struck a thousand men."
17 E aconteceu que, acabando elle de fallar, lançou a queixada da sua mão: e chamou áquelle logar Ramath-lechi.
It happened, when he had finished speaking, that he cast away the jawbone out of his hand; and that place was called Ramath Lehi.
18 E como tivesse grande sede, clamou ao Senhor, e disse: Pela mão do teu servo tu déste esta grande salvação: morrerei eu pois agora de sede, e cairei na mão d'estes incircumcisos?
He was very thirsty, and called on the LORD, and said, "You have given this great deliverance by the hand of your servant; and now shall I die for thirst, and fall into the hand of the uncircumcised?"
19 Então o Senhor fendeu a caverna que estava em Lechi; e saiu d'ella agua, e bebeu; e o seu espirito tornou, e reviveu: pelo que chamou o seu nome: A fonte do que clama, que está em Lechi até ao dia d'hoje.
And God split the hollow place that is at Lehi, and water came out of it. When he had drunk, his spirit came again, and he revived: therefore its name was called En Hakkore, which is in Lehi, to this day.
20 E julgou a Israel, nos dias dos philisteos, vinte annos.
He judged Israel in the days of the Philistines twenty years.
