Juízes 1

1 E sucedeu, depois da morte de Josué, que os filhos de Israel perguntaram ao Senhor, dizendo: Quem dentre nós primeiro subirá aos cananeus, para pelejar contra eles?

Now after the death of Joshua, the children of Israel made request to the Lord, saying, Who is to go up first to make war for us against the Canaanites?

2 E disse o Senhor: Judá subirá: eis que lhe dei esta terra na sua mão.

And the Lord said, Judah is to go up: see, I have given the land into his hands.

3 Então disse Judá a Simeão, seu irmão: Sobe comigo à minha sorte, e pelejemos contra os cananeus, e também eu contigo subirei à tua sorte. E Simeão partiu com ele.

Then Judah said to Simeon his brother, Come up with me into my heritage, so that we may make war against the Canaanites; and I will then go with you into your heritage. So Simeon went with him.

4 E subiu Judá, e o Senhor lhe deu na sua mão os cananeus e os pherezeus: e feriram deles em Bezek a dez mil homens.

And Judah went up; and the Lord gave the Canaanites and the Perizzites into their hands; and they overcame ten thousand of them in Bezek.

5 E acharam a Adoni-bezek em Bezek, e pelejaram contra ele: e feriram aos cananeus e aos pherezeus.

And they came across Adoni-zedek, and made war on him; and they overcame the Canaanites and the Perizzites.

6 Porém Adoni-bezek fugiu, e o seguiram, e o prenderam, e lhe cortaram os dedos polegares das mãos e dos pés.

But Adoni-zedek went in flight; and they went after him and overtook him, and had his thumbs and his great toes cut off.

7 Então disse Adoni-bezek: Setenta reis com os dedos polegares das mãos e dos pés cortados apanhavam as migalhas debaixo da minha mesa: assim como eu fiz, assim Deus me pagou. E o trouxeram a Jerusalém, e morreu ali.

And Adoni-zedek said, Seventy kings, whose thumbs and great toes had been cut off, got broken meat under my table: as I have done, so has God done to me in full. And they took him to Jerusalem, and he came to his end there.

8 Porque os filhos de Judá pelejaram contra Jerusalém, e a tomaram, e a feriram ao fio da espada: e a cidade puseram a fogo.

Then the children of Judah made an attack on Jerusalem, and took it, burning down the town after they had put its people to the sword without mercy.

9 E depois os filhos de Judá desceram a pelejar contra os cananeus que habitavam nas montanhas, e no sul, e nas planícies.

After that the children of Judah went down to make war on the Canaanites living in the hill-country and in the south and in the lowlands.

10 E partiu Judá contra os cananeus que habitavam em Hebron (era porém de antes o nome de Hebron Quiriath-arba): e feriram a Sesai, e a Ahiman e a Talmai.

And Caleb went against the Canaanites of Hebron: (now in earlier times Hebron was named Kiriath-arba: ) and he put Sheshai and Ahiman and Talmai to the sword.

11 E dali partiu contra os moradores de Debir: e era de antes o nome de Debir Quiriath-sepher.

And from there he went up against the people of Debir. (Now the name of Debir in earlier times was Kiriath-sepher.)

12 E disse Caleb: Quem ferir a Quiriath-sepher, e a tomar, lhe darei a minha filha Acsa por mulher.

And Caleb said, I will give Achsah, my daughter, as wife to the man who overcomes Kiriath-sepher and takes it.

13 E tomou-a Othniel, filho de Kenaz, o irmão de Caleb, mais novo do que ele: e Caleb lhe deu a sua filha Acsa por mulher.

And Othniel, the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother, took it; so he gave him his daughter Achsah for his wife.

14 E sucedeu que, vindo ela a ele, o persuadiu que pedisse um campo a seu pai; e ela se apeou do jumento, saltando: e Caleb lhe disse: Que é o que tens?

Now when she came to him, he put into her mind the idea of requesting a field from her father: and she got down from her ass; and Caleb said to her, What is it?

15 E ela lhe disse: Dá-me uma benção; pois me deste uma terra seca, dá-me também fontes de águas. E Caleb lhe deu as fontes superiores e as fontes inferiores.

And she said to him, Give me a blessing; because you have put me in a dry south-land, now give me springs of water. So Caleb gave her the higher spring and the lower spring.

16 Também os filhos do keneu, sogro de Moisés, subiram da cidade das palmeiras com os filhos de Judá ao deserto de Judá, que está ao sul de Arad: e foram, e habitaram com o povo.

Now Hobab the Kenite, Moses' father-in-law, had come up out of the town of palm-trees, with the children of Judah, into the waste land of Arad; and he went and was living among the Amalekites;

17 Foi-se pois Judá com Simeão, seu irmão, e feriram aos cananeus que habitavam em Zephath: e totalmente a destruiram, e chamaram o nome desta cidade Horma.

And Judah went with Simeon, his brother, and overcame the Canaanites living in Zephath, and put it under the curse; and he gave the town the name of Hormah.

18 Tomou mais Judá a Gaza com o seu termo, e a Ascalon com o seu termo, e a Ecron com o seu termo.

Then Judah took Gaza and its limit, and Ashkelon and its limit, and Ekron and its limit.

19 E foi o Senhor com Judá, e despovoou as montanhas: porém não expeliu aos moradores do vale, porquanto tinham carros ferrados.

And the Lord was with Judah; and he took the hill-country for his heritage; but he was unable to make the people of the valley go out, for they had war-carriages of iron.

20 E deram Hebron a Caleb, como Moisés o dissera: e dali expeliu os três filhos de Enak.

And they gave Hebron to Caleb, as Moses had said; and he took the land of the three sons of Anak, driving them out from there.

21 Porém os filhos de Benjamin não expeliram os jebuseus que habitavam em Jerusalém: antes os jebuseus habitaram com os filhos de Benjamin em Jerusalém, até ao dia de hoje.

And the children of Judah did not make the Jebusites who were living in Jerusalem go out; the Jebusites are still living with the children of Benjamin in Jerusalem.

22 E subiu também a casa de José a bethel, e foi o Senhor com eles.

And the family of Joseph went up against Beth-el, and the Lord was with them.

23 E fez a casa de José espiar a bethel: e foi de antes o nome desta cidade Luz.

So they sent men to make a search round Beth-el. (Now the name of the town in earlier times was Luz.)

24 E viram os espias a um homem, que saía da cidade, e lhe disseram: Ora mostra-nos a entrada da cidade, e usaremos contigo de beneficência.

And the watchers saw a man coming out of the town, and said to him, If you will make clear to us the way into the town, we will be kind to you.

25 E, mostrando-lhes ele a entrada da cidade, feriram a cidade ao fio da espada: porém àquele homem e a toda a sua família deixaram ir.

So he made clear to them the way into the town, and they put it to the sword; but they let the man and all his family get away safe.

26 Então aquele homem foi-se à terra dos heteus, e edificou uma cidade, e chamou o seu nome Luz; este é o seu nome até ao dia de hoje.

And he went into the land of the Hittites, building a town there and naming it Luz: which is its name to this day.

27 Nem Manasseh expeliu os habitantes de Beth-sean, nem dos lugares da sua jurisdição; nem a Taanach, com os lugares da sua jurisdição; nem aos moradores de Dor, com os lugares da sua jurisdição; nem aos moradores de Ibleam, com os lugares da sua jurisdição; nem aos moradores de Megiddo, com os lugares da sua jurisdição: e quizeram os cananeus habitar na mesma terra.

And Manasseh did not take away the land of the people of Beth-shean and its daughter-towns, or of Taanach and its daughter-towns, or of the people of Dor and its daughter-towns, or of the people of Ibleam and its daughter-towns, or of the people of Megiddo and its daughter-towns, driving them out; but the Canaanites would go on living in that land.

28 E sucedeu que, quando Israel cobrou mais forças, fez dos cananeus tributários: porém não os expeliu de todo.

And whenever Israel became strong, they put the Canaanites to forced work, without driving them out completely.

29 Tão pouco expeliu Ephraim aos cananeus que habitavam em Gezer: antes os cananeus habitavam no meio dele, em Gezer.

And Ephraim did not make the Canaanites who were living in Gezer go out; but the Canaanites went on living in Gezer among them.

30 Tão pouco expeliu Zebulon aos moradores de Kitron, nem aos moradores de Nahalol: porém os cananeus habitavam no meio dele, e foram tributários.

Zebulun did not make the people of Kitron or the people of Nahalol go out; but the Canaanites went on living among them and were put to forced work.

31 Tão pouco Aser expeliu aos moradores de Acco, nem aos moradores de Sidon: como nem a Acbal, nem a Acsih, nem a Chelba, nem a Aphik, nem a Recob;

And Asher did not take the land of the people of Acco, or Zidon, or Ahlab, or Achzib, or Helbah, or Aphik, or Rehob, driving them out;

32 Porém os aseritas habitaram no meio dos cananeus que habitavam na terra: porquanto os não expeliram.

But the Asherites went on living among the Canaanites, the people of the land, without driving them out.

33 Tão pouco Naphtali expeliu aos moradores de Beth-semes, nem aos moradores de Beth-anath; mas habitou no meio dos cananeus que habitavam na terra: porém lhes foram tributários os moradores de Beth-semes e Beth-anath.

Naphtali did not take the land of the people of Beth-shemesh or of Beth-anath, driving them out; but he was living among the Canaanites in the land; however, the people of Beth-shemesh and Beth-anath were put to forced work.

34 E apertaram os amorreus aos filhos de Dan até às montanhas: porque nem os deixavam descer ao vale.

And the children of Dan were forced into the hill-country by the Amorites, who would not let them come down into the valley;

35 Também os amorreus quizeram habitar nas montanhas de Heres, em Ajalon e em Saalbim: porém prevaleceu a mão da casa de José, e ficaram tributários.

For the Amorites would go on living in Mount Heres, in Aijalon, and in Shaalbim; but the children of Joseph became stronger than they, and put them to forced work.

36 E foi o termo dos amorreus desde a subida de Akrabbim: desde a penha, e dali para cima.

And the limit of the Edomites went from the slope of Akrabbim from Sela and up.
