< Juízes 4 >

1 Mas os filhos de Israel voltaram a fazer o mal aos olhos do SENHOR, depois da morte de Eúde.
And the children of Israel continued to do evil against the Lord; and Aod was dead.
2 E o SENHOR os vendeu em mão de Jabim rei de Canaã, o qual reinou em Hazor: e o capitão de seu exército se chamava Sísera, e ele habitava em Harosete das nações.
And the Lord sold the children of Israel into the hand of Jabin king of Chanaan, who ruled in Asor; and the chief of his host was Sisara, and he lived in Arisoth of the Gentiles.
3 E os filhos de Israel clamaram ao SENHOR, porque aquele tinha novecentos carros de ferro: e havia afligido em grande maneira aos filhos de Israel por vinte anos.
And the children of Israel cried to the Lord, because he had nine hundred chariots of iron; and he mightily oppressed Israel twenty years.
4 E governava naquele tempo a Israel uma mulher, Débora, profetisa, mulher de Lapidote:
And Debbora, a prophetess, the wife of Lapidoth, —she judged Israel at that time.
5 A qual se sentava debaixo da palmeira de Débora entre Ramá e Betel, no monte de Efraim: e os filhos de Israel subiam a ela a juízo.
And she sat under the palm tree of Debbora between Rama and Baethel in mount Ephraim; and the children of Israel went up to her for judgment.
6 E ela mandou chamar a Baraque filho de Abinoão, de Quedes de Naftali, e disse-lhe: Não te mandou o SENHOR Deus de Israel, dizendo: Vai, e ajunta gente no monte de Tabor, e toma contigo dez mil homens dos filhos de Naftali, e dos filhos de Zebulom:
And Debbora sent and called Barac the son of Abineem out of Cades Nephthali, and she said to him, Has not the Lord God of Israel commanded you? and you shall depart to mount Thabor, and shall take with yourself ten thousand men of the sons of Nephthali and of the sons of Zabulon.
7 E eu atrairei a ti ao ribeiro de Quisom a Sísera, capitão do exército de Jabim, com seus carros e seu exército, e o entregarei em tuas mãos?
And I will bring to you to the torrent of Kison Sisara the captain of the host of Jabin, and his chariots, and his multitude, and I will deliver them into your hands.
8 E Baraque lhe respondeu: Se tu fores comigo, eu irei: mas se não fores comigo, não irei.
And Barac said to her, If you will go with me, I will go; and if you will not go, I will not go; for I know not the day on which the Lord prospers his messenger with me.
9 E ela disse: Irei contigo; mas não será tua honra no caminho que vais; porque por mão de mulher venderá o SENHOR a Sísera. E levantando-se Débora foi com Baraque a Quedes.
And she said, I will surely go with you; but know that your honor shall not attend on the expedition on which you go, for the Lord shall sell Sisara into the hands of a women: and Debbora arose, and went with Barac out of Cades.
10 E juntou Baraque a Zebulom e a Naftali em Quedes, e subiu com dez mil homens a seu mando, e Débora subiu com ele.
And Barac called Zabulon and Nephthali out of Cades, and there went up at his feet ten thousand men, and Debbora went up with him.
11 E Héber queneu, dos filhos de Hobabe sogro de Moisés, havia se afastado dos queneus, e posto sua tenda até o vale de Zaanim, que está junto a Quedes.
And Chaber the Kenite had removed from Caina, from the sons of Jobab the father-in-law of Moses, and pitched his tent by the oak of the covetous ones, which is near Kedes.
12 Vieram, pois, as notícias a Sísera como Baraque filho de Abinoão havia subido ao monte de Tabor.
And it was told Sisara that Barac the son of Abineem was gone up to mount Thabor.
13 E reuniu Sísera todos os seus carros, novecentos carros de ferro, com todo o povo que com ele estava, desde Harosete das Nações até o ribeiro de Quisom.
And Sisara summoned all his chariots, nine hundred chariots of iron and all the people with him, from Arisoth of the Gentiles to the brook of Kison.
14 Então Débora disse a Baraque: Levanta-te; porque este é o dia em que o SENHOR entregou a Sísera em tuas mãos: Não saiu o SENHOR diante de ti? E Baraque desceu do monte de Tabor, e dez mil homens atrás dele.
And Debbora said to Barac, Rise up, for this [is] the day on which the Lord has delivered Sisara into your hand, for the Lord shall go forth before you: and Barac went down from mount Thabor, and ten thousand men after him.
15 E o SENHOR derrotou a Sísera, e a todos os seus carros e a todo seu exército, a fio de espada diante de Baraque: e Sísera desceu do carro, e fugiu a pé.
And the Lord discomfited Sisara, and all his chariots, and all his army, with the edge of the sword before Barac: and Sisara descended from off his chariot, and fled on his feet.
16 Mas Baraque seguiu os carros e o exército até Harosete das Nações, e todo aquele exército de Sísera caiu a fio de espada até não restar nenhum.
And Barac pursued after the chariots and after the army, into Arisoth of the Gentiles; and the whole army of Sisara fell by the edge of the sword, there was not one left.
17 E Sísera se refugiou a pé à tenda de Jael mulher de Héber queneu; porque havia paz entre Jabim rei de Hazor e a casa de Héber queneu.
And Sisara fled on his feet to the tent of Jael the wife of Chaber the Kenite his friend: for there was peace between Jabin king of Asor and the house of Chaber the Kenite.
18 E saindo Jael a receber a Sísera, disse-lhe: Vem, senhor meu, vem a mim, não tenhas medo. E ele veio a ela à tenda, e ela lhe cobriu com uma manta.
And Jael went, out to meet Sisara, and said to him, Turn aside, my lord, turn aside to me, fear not: and he turned aside to her into the tent; and she covered him with a mantle.
19 E ele lhe disse: Rogo-te me dês a beber um pouco de água, que tenho sede. E ela abriu um odre de leite e deu-lhe de beber, e voltou-lhe a cobrir.
And Sisara said to her, Give me, I pray you, a little water to drink, for I am thirsty: and she opened a bottle of milk, and gave him to drink, and covered him.
20 E ele lhe disse: Fica-te à porta da tenda, e se alguém vier, e te perguntar, dizendo: Há aqui alguém? Tu responderás que não.
And Sisara said to her, Stand now by the door of the tent, and it shall come to pass if any man come to you, and ask of you, and say, Is there [any] man here? then you shall say, There is not.
21 E Jael, mulher de Héber, tomou uma estaca da tenda, e pondo uma marreta em sua mão, veio a ele caladamente, e meteu-lhe a estaca pela têmpora, e encravou-o na terra, pois ele estava carregado de sonho e cansado; e assim morreu.
And Jael the wife of Chaber took a pin of the tent, and took a hammer in her hand, and went secretly to him, and fastened the pin in his temple, and it went through to the earth, and he fainted away, and darkness fell upon him and he died.
22 E seguindo Baraque a Sísera, Jael saiu a recebê-lo, e disse-lhe: Vem, e te mostrarei ao homem que tu buscas. E ele entrou de onde ela estava, e eis que Sísera jazia morto com a estaca pela têmpora.
And, behold, Barac [was] pursuing Sisara: and Jael went out to meet him, and he said to him, Come, and I will show you the man whom you seek: and he went in to her; and, behold, Sisara was fallen dead, and the pin [was] in his temple.
23 Assim abateu Deus aquele dia a Jabim, rei de Canaã, diante dos filhos de Israel.
So God routed Jabin king of Chanaan in that day before the children of Israel.
24 E a mão dos filhos de Israel começou a crescer e a fortificar-se contra Jabim rei de Canaã, até que o destruíram.
And the hand of the children of Israel prevailed more and more against Jabin king of Chanaan, until they utterly destroyed Jabin king of Chanaan.
