Juízes 2
1 E subiu o anjo do Senhor de Gilgal a Bochim, e disse: Do Egito vos fiz subir, e vos trouxe à terra que a vossos pais tinha jurado e dito: Nunca invalidarei o meu concerto convosco.
And an angel of the LORD came up from Gilgal to Bochim, and said, I made you to go up out of Egypt, and have brought you to the land which I swore to your fathers; and I said, I will never break my covenant with you.
2 E, quanto a vós, não fareis concerto com os moradores desta terra, antes derrubareis os seus altares: mas vós não obedecestes à minha voz. Porque fizestes isto
And you shall make no league with the inhabitants of this land; you shall throw down their altars: but you have not obeyed my voice: why have you done this?
3 Pelo que também eu disso: Não os expelirei de diante de vós: antes estarão às vossas ilhargas, e os seus deuses vos serão por laço
Why I also said, I will not drive them out from before you; but they shall be as thorns in your sides, and their gods shall be a snare to you.
4 E sucedeu que, falando o anjo do Senhor estas palavras a todos os filhos de Israel, o povo levantou a sua voz e chorou.
And it came to pass, when the angel of the LORD spoke these words to all the children of Israel, that the people lifted up their voice, and wept.
5 Pelo que chamaram àquele lugar, Bochim: e sacrificaram ali ao Senhor.
And they called the name of that place Bochim: and they sacrificed there to the LORD.
6 E havendo Josué despedido o povo, foram-se os filhos de Israel, cada um à sua herdade, para possuirem a terra.
And when Joshua had let the people go, the children of Israel went every man to his inheritance to possess the land.
7 E serviu o povo ao Senhor todos os dias de Josué, e todos os dias dos anciãos que prolongaram os seus dias depois de Josué, e viram toda aquela grande obra do Senhor, que fizera a Israel.
And the people served the LORD all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders that outlived Joshua, who had seen all the great works of the LORD, that he did for Israel.
8 Faleceu porém Josué, filho de Nun, servo do Senhor, da idade de cento e dez anos;
And Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of the LORD, died, being an hundred and ten years old.
9 E sepultaram-no no termo da sua herdade, em Timnath-heres, no monte de Ephraim, para o norte do monte de Gaas.
And they buried him in the border of his inheritance in Timnathheres, in the mount of Ephraim, on the north side of the hill Gaash.
10 E foi também congregada toda aquela geração a seus pais, e outra geração após deles se levantou, que não conhecia ao Senhor, nem tão pouco a obra, que fizera a Israel
And also all that generation were gathered to their fathers: and there arose another generation after them, which knew not the LORD, nor yet the works which he had done for Israel.
11 Então fizeram os filhos de Israel o que parecia mal aos olhos do Senhor: e serviram os baalins.
And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD, and served Baalim:
12 E deixaram ao Senhor Deus de seus pais, que os tirara da terra do Egito, e foram-se após de outros deuses, dentre os deuses das gentes, que havia ao redor deles, e encurvaram-se a eles: e provocaram ao Senhor a ira.
And they forsook the LORD God of their fathers, which brought them out of the land of Egypt, and followed other gods, of the gods of the people that were round about them, and bowed themselves to them, and provoked the LORD to anger.
13 Porquanto deixaram ao Senhor: e serviram a Baal e a Astaroth.
And they forsook the LORD, and served Baal and Ashtaroth.
14 Pelo que a ira do Senhor se acendeu contra Israel, e os deu na mão dos roubadores, e os roubaram: e os entregou na mão dos seus inimigos ao redor: e não puderam mais estar em pé diante dos seus inimigos.
And the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel, and he delivered them into the hands of spoilers that spoiled them, and he sold them into the hands of their enemies round about, so that they could not any longer stand before their enemies.
15 Por onde quer que saiam, a mão do Senhor era contra eles para mal, como o Senhor tinha dito, e como o Senhor lho tinha jurado: e estavam em grande aperto.
Wherever they went out, the hand of the LORD was against them for evil, as the LORD had said, and as the LORD had sworn to them: and they were greatly distressed.
16 E levantou o Senhor juízes, que os livraram da mão dos que os roubaram.
Nevertheless the LORD raised up judges, which delivered them out of the hand of those that spoiled them.
17 Porém tão pouco ouviram aos juízes, anteu fornicaram após outros deuses, e encurvaram-se a eles: depressa se desviaram do caminho, por onde andaram seus pais, ouvindo os mandamentos do Senhor; o que eles assim não fizeram.
And yet they would not listen to their judges, but they went a whoring after other gods, and bowed themselves to them: they turned quickly out of the way which their fathers walked in, obeying the commandments of the LORD; but they did not so.
18 E, quando o Senhor lhes levantava juízes, o Senhor era com o juiz, e os livrava da mão dos seus inimigos, todos os dias daquele juiz; porquanto o Senhor se arrependia pelo seu gemido, por causa dos que os apertavam e oprimiam.
And when the LORD raised them up judges, then the LORD was with the judge, and delivered them out of the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge: for it repented the LORD because of their groanings by reason of them that oppressed them and vexed them.
19 Porém sucedia que, falecendo o juiz, tornavam e se corrompiam mais do que seus pais, andando após de outros deuses, servindo-os, e encurvando-se a eles: nada deixavam das suas obras, nem do seu duro caminho.
And it came to pass, when the judge was dead, that they returned, and corrupted themselves more than their fathers, in following other gods to serve them, and to bow down to them; they ceased not from their own doings, nor from their stubborn way.
20 Pelo que a ira do Senhor se acendeu contra Israel; e disse: Porquanto este povo traspassou o meu concerto, que tinha ordenado a seus pais, e não deram ouvidos à minha voz.
And the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel; and he said, Because that this people has transgressed my covenant which I commanded their fathers, and have not listened to my voice;
21 Tão pouco desapossarei mais de diante deles a nenhuma das nações, que Josué deixou, morrendo;
I also will not from now on drive out any from before them of the nations which Joshua left when he died:
22 Para por elas provar a Israel, se houvessem de guardar o caminho do Senhor, para por ele andarem, como seus pais o guardaram, ou não.
That through them I may prove Israel, whether they will keep the way of the LORD to walk therein, as their fathers did keep it, or not.
23 Assim o Senhor deixou ficar aquelas nações, e não as desterrou logo, nem as entregou na mão de Josué.
Therefore the LORD left those nations, without driving them out hastily; neither delivered he them into the hand of Joshua.
