Juízes 15
1 E aconteceu depois de dias, que no tempo da colheita do trigo, Sansão visitou à sua mulher com um cabrito, dizendo: Entrarei à minha mulher à câmara. Mas o pai dela não o deixou entrar.
And it came to pass after a time, in the days of wheat harvest, that Sampson visited his wife with a kid, and said, I will go in to my wife even into the chamber: but her father did not suffer him to go in.
2 E disse o pai dela: Persuadi-me que a aborrecias, e dei-a a teu companheiro. Mas sua irmã menor, não é mais bela que ela? Toma-a, pois, em seu lugar.
And her father spoke, saying, I said that you did surely hate her, and I gave her to one of your friends: [is] not her younger sister better than she? let her be to you instead of her.
3 E Sansão lhes respondeu: Eu serei sem culpa esta vez para com os filisteus, se mal lhes fizer.
And Sampson said to them, Even for once am I guiltless with regard to the Philistines, in that I do mischief among them.
4 E foi Sansão e agarrou trezentas raposas, e tomando tochas, e segurando aquelas pelas caudas, pôs entre cada duas caudas uma tocha.
And Sampson went and caught three hundred foxes, and took torches, and turned tail to tail, and put a torch between two tails, and fastened it.
5 Depois, acendendo as tochas, lançou as raposas nas plantações dos filisteus, e queimou pilhas de cereais e cereais nos pés, e vinhas e olivais.
And he set fire to the torches, and sent [the foxes] into the corn of the Philistines; and every thing was burnt from the threshing floor to the standing corn, and even to the vineyard and olives.
6 E disseram os filisteus: Quem fez isto? E foi-lhes dito: Sansão, o genro do timnateu, porque lhe tirou sua mulher e a deu a seu companheiro. E vieram os filisteus, e queimaram a fogo a ela e a seu pai.
And the Philistines said, Who [has done] these things? and they said, Sampson the son-in-law of the Thamnite, because he has taken his wife, and given her to one of his friends; and the Philistines went up, and burnt her and her father's house with fire.
7 Então Sansão lhes disse: Assim o havíeis de fazer? Mas eu me vingarei de vós, e depois cessarei.
And Sampson said to them, Though you may have dealt thus with her, verily I will be avenged of you, and afterwards I will cease.
8 E feriu-os perna e coxa com grande mortandade; e desceu, e ficou na caverna da penha de Etã.
And he struck them leg on thigh [with] a great overthrow; and went down and lived in a cave of the rock Etam.
9 E os filisteus subiram e puseram acampamento em Judá, e estenderam-se por Leí.
And the Philistines went up, and encamped in Juda, and spread themselves abroad in Lechi.
10 E os homens de Judá lhes disseram: Por que subistes contra nós? E eles responderam: A prender a Sansão subimos, para fazer-lhe como ele nos fez.
And the men of Juda said, Why are you come up against us? and the Philistines said, We are come up to bind Sampson, and to do to him as he has done to us.
11 E vieram três mil homens de Judá à caverna da penha de Etã, e disseram a Sansão: Não sabes tu que os filisteus dominam sobre nós? Por que nos fizeste isto? E ele lhes respondeu: Eu lhes fiz como eles me fizeram.
And the three thousand men of Juda went down to the hole of the rock Etam, and they said to Sampson, Know you not that the Philistines rule over us? and what [is] this [that] you have done to us? and Sampson said to them, As they did to me, so have I done to them.
12 Eles então lhe disseram: Nós viemos para prender-te, e entregar-te em mão dos filisteus. E Sansão lhes respondeu: Jurai-me que vós não me matareis.
And they said to him, We are come down to bind you to deliver you into the hand of the Philistines: and Sampson said to them, Swear to me that you will not fall upon me yourselves.
13 E eles lhe responderam, dizendo: Não, somente te prenderemos, e te entregaremos em suas mãos; mas não te mataremos. Então lhe ataram com duas cordas novas, e fizeram-lhe vir da penha.
And they spoke to him, saying, Nay, but we will only bind you fast, and deliver you into their hand, and will by no means kill you: and they bound him with two new ropes, and brought him from that rock.
14 E assim que veio até Leí, os filisteus lhe saíram a receber com gritos de vitória: e o espírito do SENHOR caiu sobre ele, e as cordas que estavam em seus braços se tornaram como linho queimado com fogo, e as amarras se caíram de suas mãos.
And they came to Lechi: and the Philistines shouted, and ran to meet him: and the Spirit of the Lord came mightily upon him, and the ropes that were upon his arms became as tow which is burnt with fire; and his bonds were consumed from off his hands.
15 E achando uma queixada de asno fresca, estendeu a mão e tomou-a, e feriu com ela a mil homens.
And he found the jaw-bone of an ass that had been cast away, and he put forth his hand and took it, and struck with it a thousand men.
16 Então Sansão disse: Com a queixada de um asno, um amontoado, dois amontoados; Com a queixada de um asno feri mil homens.
And Sampson said, With the jaw-bone of an ass I have utterly destroyed them, for with the jaw-bone of an ass I have struck a thousand men.
17 E acabando de falar, lançou de sua mão a queixada, e chamou a aquele lugar Ramate-Leí.
And it came to pass when he ceased speaking, that he cast the jaw-bone out of his hand; and he called that place the Lifting of the jaw-bone.
18 E tendo grande sede, clamou logo ao SENHOR, e disse: Tu deste esta grande salvação por meio de teu servo: e morrerei eu agora de sede, e cairei em mão dos incircuncisos?
And he was very thirsty, and wept before the Lord, and said, You have been well pleased to grant this great deliverance by the hand of your servant, and new shall I die for thirst, and fall into the hand of the uncircumcised?
19 Então quebrou Deus uma cavidade em Leí, e saíram dali águas, e bebeu, e recuperou seu espírito, e reanimou-se. Portanto chamou seu nome daquele lugar, En-Hacoré, o qual é em Leí, até hoje.
And God broke open a hollow place in the jaw, and there came thence water, and he drank; and his spirit returned and he revived: therefore the name of the fountain was called 'The well of the invoker,' which is in Lechi, until this day.
20 E julgou a Israel nos dias dos filisteus vinte anos.
And he judged Israel in the days of the Philistines twenty years.
