Juízes 3
1 Estas pois são as nações, que o Senhor deixou ficar, para por ellas provar a Israel, a saber, a todos os que não sabiam de todas as guerras de Canaan,
Now these are the nations which the LORD left, to prove Israel by them, even as many as had not known all the wars of Canaan;
2 Tão sómente para que as gerações dos filhos d'Israel d'ellas soubessem (para lhes ensinar a guerra), pelo menos os que d'antes não sabiam d'ellas:
only that the generations of the children of Israel might know, to teach them war, at the least such as beforetime knew nothing thereof;
3 Cinco principes dos philisteos, e todos os cananeos, e sidonios, e heveos, que habitavam nas montanhas do Libano, desde o monte de Baal-hermon, até á entrada d'Hamath.
[namely], the five lords of the Philistines, and all the Canaanites, and the Zidonians, and the Hivites that dwelt in mount Lebanon, from mount Baal-hermon unto the entering in of Hamath.
4 Estes pois ficaram, para por elles provar a Israel, para saber se dariam ouvidos aos mandamentos do Senhor, que tinha ordenado a seus paes, pelo ministerio de Moysés.
And they were for to prove Israel by them, to know whether they would hearken unto the commandments of the LORD, which he commanded their fathers by the hand of Moses.
5 Habitando pois os filhos de Israel no meio dos cananeos, dos hetheos, e amorrheos, e pherezeos, e heveos, e jebuseos,
And the children of Israel dwelt among the Canaanites; the Hittite, and the Amorite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite:
6 Tomaram de suas filhas para si por mulheres, e deram aos filhos d'elles as suas filhas; e serviram a seus deuses.
and they took their daughters to be their wives, and gave their own daughters to their sons, and served their gods.
7 E os filhos de Israel fizeram o que parecia mal aos olhos do Senhor, e se esqueceram do Senhor seu Deus: e serviram aos baalins e a Astaroth.
And the children of Israel did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, and forgat the LORD their God, and served the Baalim and the Asheroth.
8 Então a ira do Senhor se accendeu contra Israel, e elle os vendeu em mão de Cusan-risathaim, rei de Mesopotamia: e os filhos d'Israel serviram a Cusan-risathaim oito annos.
Therefore the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel, and he sold them into the hand of Cushan-rishathaim king of Mesopotamia: and the children of Israel served Cushan-rishathaim eight years.
9 E os filhos d'Israel clamaram ao Senhor, e o Senhor levantou aos filhos d'Israel um libertador, e os libertou, a Othniel, filho de Kenaz, irmão de Caleb, mais novo do que elle.
And when the children of Israel cried unto the LORD, the LORD raised up a saviour to the children of Israel, who saved them, even Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb’s younger brother.
10 E veiu sobre elle o Espirito do Senhor, e julgou a Israel, e saiu á peleja; e o Senhor deu na sua mão a Cusan-risathaim, rei da Syria; e a sua mão prevaleceu contra Cusan-risathaim.
And the spirit of the LORD came upon him, and he judged Israel; and he went out to war, and the LORD delivered Cushan-rishathaim king of Mesopotamia into his hand: and his hand prevailed against Cushan-rishathaim.
11 Então a terra socegou quarenta annos; e Othniel, filho de Kenaz, falleceu.
And the land had rest forty years. And Othniel the son of Kenaz died.
12 Porém os filhos d'Israel tornaram a fazer o que parecia mal aos olhos do Senhor: então o Senhor esforçou a Eglon, rei dos moabitas, contra Israel: porquanto fizeram o que parecia mal aos olhos do Senhor.
And the children of Israel again did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD: and the LORD strengthened Eglon the king of Moab against Israel, because they had done that which was evil in the sight of the LORD.
13 E ajuntou comsigo aos filhos d'Ammon e aos amalekitas, e foi, e feriu a Israel, e tomaram a cidade das palmeiras.
And he gathered unto him the children of Ammon and Amalek; and went and smote Israel, and they possessed the city of palm trees.
14 E os filhos d'Israel serviram a Eglon, rei dos moabitas, dezoito annos.
And the children of Israel served Eglon the king of Moab eighteen years.
15 Então os filhos d'Israel clamaram ao Senhor, e o Senhor lhes levantou um libertador, a Ehud, filho de Gera, filho de Jemini, homem canhoto. E os filhos d'Israel enviaram pela sua mão um presente a Eglon, rei dos moabitas.
But when the children of Israel cried unto the LORD, the LORD raised them up a saviour, Ehud the son of Gera, the Benjamite, a man lefthanded: and the children of Israel sent a present by him unto Eglon the king of Moab.
16 E Ehud fez uma espada de dois fios, do comprimento de um covado: e cingiu-a por debaixo dos seus vestidos, á sua côxa direita.
And Ehud made him a sword which had two edges, of a cubit length; and he girded it under his raiment upon his right thigh.
17 E levou aquelle presente a Eglon, rei dos moabitas; e era Eglon homem mui gordo.
And he offered the present unto Eglon king of Moab: now Eglon was a very fat man.
18 E succedeu que, acabando de entregar o presente, despediu a gente que trouxera o presente.
And when he had made an end of offering the present, he sent away the people that bare the present.
19 Porém voltou das imagens de esculptura que estão ao pé de Gilgal, e disse: Tenho uma palavra secreta para ti, ó rei. O qual disse: Cala-te. E todos os que lhe assistiam sairam de diante d'elle.
But he himself turned back from the quarries that were by Gilgal, and said, I have a secret errand unto thee, O king. And he said, Keep silence. And all that stood by him went out from him.
20 E Ehud entrou a elle, a um cenaculo fresco, que para si só tinha, onde estava assentado, e disse Ehud: Tenho para ti uma palavra de Deus. E levantou-se da cadeira.
And Ehud came unto him; and he was sitting by himself alone in his summer parlour. And Ehud said, I have a message from God unto thee. And he arose out of his seat.
21 Então Ehud estendeu a sua mão esquerda, e lançou mão da espada da sua côxa direita, e lh'a cravou no ventre,
And Ehud put forth his left hand, and took the sword from his right thigh, and thrust it into his belly:
22 De tal maneira que entrou até á empunhadura após da folha, e a gordura encerrou a folha (porque não tirou a espada do ventre): e saiu-se-lhe o excremento.
and the haft also went in after the blade; and the fat closed upon the blade, for he drew not the sword out of his belly; and it came out behind.
23 Então Ehud saiu á sala, e cerrou sobre elle as portas do cenaculo, e as fechou.
Then Ehud went forth into the porch, and shut the doors of the parlour upon him, and locked them.
24 E, saindo elle, vieram os seus servos, e viram, e eis que as portas do cenaculo estavam fechadas; e disseram: Sem duvida está cobrindo seus pés na recamara do cenaculo fresco.
Now when he was gone out, his servants came; and they saw, and, behold, the doors of the parlour were locked; and they said, Surely he covereth his feet in his summer chamber.
25 E, esperando até se enfastiarem, eis que não abria as portas do cenaculo; então tomaram a chave, e abriram, e eis aqui seu senhor estendido morto em terra.
And they tarried till they were ashamed: and, behold, he opened not the doors of the parlour; therefore they took the key, and opened [them]: and, behold, their lord was fallen down dead on the earth.
26 E Ehud escapou, emquanto elles se demoraram: porque elle passou pelas imagens de esculptura, e escapou para Seirath.
And Ehud escaped while they tarried, and passed beyond the quarries, and escaped unto Seirah.
27 E succedeu que, entrando elle, tocou a buzina nas montanhas de Ephraim: e os filhos de Israel desceram com elle das montanhas, e elle adiante d'elles,
And it came to pass, when he was come, that he blew a trumpet in the hill country of Ephraim, and the children of Israel went down with him from the hill country, and he before them.
28 E disse-lhes: Segui-me: porque o Senhor vos tem dado a vossos inimigos, os moabitas, na vossa mão: e desceram após d'elle, e tomaram os váos do Jordão a Moab, e a nenhum deixaram passar.
And he said unto them, Follow after me: for the LORD hath delivered your enemies the Moabites into your hand. And they went down after him, and took the fords of Jordan against the Moabites, and suffered not a man to pass over.
29 E n'aquelle tempo feriram dos moabitas uns dez mil homens, todos corpulentos, e todos homens valorosos: e não escapou nenhum.
And they smote of Moab at that time about ten thousand men, every lusty man, and every man of valour; and there escaped not a man.
30 Assim foi subjugado Moab n'aquelle dia debaixo da mão de Israel: e a terra socegou oitenta annos.
So Moab was subdued that day under the hand of Israel. And the land had rest fourscore years.
31 Depois d'elle foi Samgar, filho d'Anath, que feriu a seiscentos homens dos philisteos com uma aguilhada de bois: e tambem elle libertou a Israel.
And after him was Shamgar the son of Anath, which smote of the Philistines six hundred men with an ox goad: and he also saved Israel.
