Judges 1
1 After Joshua died, the Israeli people asked Yahweh, “Which [of our tribes] should attack the Canaan people-group first?”
Após a morte de Josué, os filhos de Israel perguntaram a Javé, dizendo: “Quem deveria subir por nós primeiro contra os cananeus, para lutar contra eles”?
2 Yahweh replied, “I will enable the tribe of Judah to defeat [IDM] the Canaan people-group.”
Yahweh disse: “Judah subirá”. Eis que eu entreguei a terra em suas mãos”.
3 The men of Judah went to their fellow Israelis, [the men] from the tribe of Simeon, and said to them, “Come and help us to fight the Canaan people-group [in order that we can take from them] the land [that Yahweh] allotted to us. If you do that, we will go with you [and help you] conquer the people in the land [that Yahweh promised to give to] you.” So the men from the tribe of Simeon went with the men of the tribe of Judah.
Judah disse a Simeon, seu irmão: “Venha comigo à minha sorte, para que possamos lutar contra os cananeus; e eu também irei com você à sua sorte”. Então Simeão foi com ele.
4 When the men of those two tribes attacked, Yahweh enabled them to defeat 10,000 men of the Canaan people-group and the Periz people-group [DOU] at Bezek [city].
Judah subiu, e Yahweh entregou os cananeus e os perizeus em suas mãos. Eles atingiram dez mil homens em Bezek.
5 During the battle they found Adoni-Bezek, the leader of the city,
Eles encontraram Adoni-Bezek em Bezek, e lutaram contra ele. Eles atingiram os cananeus e os perizitas.
6 but he [tried to] run away. The Israelis pursued him and caught him. Then they cut off his thumbs and his big toes.
Mas Adoni-Bezek fugiu. Eles o perseguiram, o pegaram e cortaram seus polegares e seus grandes dedos dos pés.
7 Adoni-Bezek said, “[My army captured] 70 kings. We cut off their thumbs and big toes. After that, [we forced] those kings to eat scraps that fell from our table. Now God has (paid me back for/done to me like) [what we did to them].” Then the men of Judah took Adoni-Bezek to Jerusalem, and he died there.
Adoni-Bezek disse: “Setenta reis, tendo seus polegares e seus grandes dedos dos pés cortados, foram esquartejados debaixo da minha mesa”. Como eu fiz, assim Deus me fez a mim”. Eles o trouxeram para Jerusalém, e ele morreu lá.
8 The army of Judah fought against the men of Jerusalem, and they captured the city. With their swords they killed [the people who lived there] and they burned [the houses in] the city.
Os filhos de Judá lutaram contra Jerusalém, tomaram-na, atingiram-na com o fio da espada e incendiaram a cidade.
9 Later, the men of Judah went down to fight the Canaan people-group who lived in the hilly area, in the desert to the south, and in the foothills [to the west].
Depois disso, as crianças de Judah desceram para lutar contra os cananeus que viviam na região montanhosa, e no Sul, e na planície.
10 The men of Judah also went to fight against the Canaan people-group who lived in Hebron [city], which at that time was named Kiriath-Arba. They defeated [the armies of kings] Sheshai, Ahiman, and Talmai.
Judah foi contra os cananeus que viviam em Hebron. (O nome de Hebron antes era Kiriath Arba.) Eles atingiram Sheshai, Ahiman e Talmai.
11 Then they left that area and went to fight against the people living in Debir [city], which was previously named Kiriath-Sepher.
De lá, ele foi contra os habitantes de Debir. (O nome de Debir antes era Kiriath Sepher)
12 [Before they attacked the city], Caleb said to them, “If one of you attacks and captures Kiriath-Sepher, I will allow him to marry my daughter.”
Caleb disse: “Darei minha filha Achsah como esposa ao homem que atacar Kiriath Sepher, e a levarei”.
13 Othniel, who was the son of Caleb’s younger brother Kenaz, captured the city. So Caleb gave his daughter Acsah to him, to become his wife.
Othniel, filho de Kenaz, o irmão mais novo de Caleb, tomou-a, então ele lhe deu sua filha Achsah como esposa.
14 When Acsah married Othniel, she told him to ask her father to give him a field. [But she decided to ask him herself. She rode to Caleb’s house on her donkey], and when she got off the donkey, Caleb [could see that something was troubling her. So he] asked her, “What do you want?”
Quando ela chegou, ela conseguiu que ele pedisse um campo ao pai. Ela saiu do burro e Caleb lhe disse: “O que você gostaria?”.
15 She replied, “I want you to do a favor for me. You have given me some land in the southern desert, [but it is very dry there]. So please also give me some [land that has] springs of water.” So Caleb gave her some land on higher ground that had a spring, and some land on lower ground that also had a spring.
Ela lhe disse: “Dê-me uma bênção; porque você me colocou na terra do Sul, dê-me também nascentes de água”. Então Caleb lhe deu as fontes superiores e as fontes inferiores.
16 The people of the Ken people-group who were descendants of Moses’ father-in-law left Jericho, which was called ‘The City of Palm Trees’. They went with some of the men of Judah to live with them in the southern desert area, near Arad [city].
Os filhos do Kenita, cunhado de Moisés, subiram da cidade de palmeiras com os filhos de Judá para o deserto de Judá, que fica no sul de Arad; e foram viver com o povo.
17 The men of Judah and their fellow Israelis from the tribe of Simeon defeated the people of the Canaan people-group who lived in Zephath [city]. They completely destroyed the city and gave it a new name, Hormah, [which means ‘complete destruction’].
Judá foi com Simeão, seu irmão, e eles atingiram os cananeus que habitavam Zefate, e o destruíram completamente. O nome da cidade foi chamado Hormah.
18 The men of Judah also captured Gaza, Ashkelon, and Ekron [cities] and all the land that is near those cities.
Também Judah tomou Gaza com sua fronteira, Ashkelon com sua fronteira, e Ekron com sua fronteira.
19 Yahweh helped the men of Judah to capture the hilly area, but they could not force the people who were living in the plains to leave, because [those people had better weapons—] had iron chariots.
Yahweh estava com Judah, e expulsou os habitantes da região montanhosa; pois ele não podia expulsar os habitantes do vale, pois eles tinham carruagens de ferro.
20 Hebron [city] was given to Caleb because Moses had promised him that he could have that city. And Caleb forced the three clans descended from Anak to leave that area.
Eles deram Hebron a Caleb, como Moisés havia dito, e ele expulsou os três filhos de Anak de lá.
21 But the people of the tribe of Benjamin could not force the people of the Jebus people-group to leave Jerusalem. So, since that time the people of the Jebus people-group have lived in Jerusalem with the people of the tribe of Benjamin.
Os filhos de Benjamim não expulsaram os jebuseus que habitavam Jerusalém, mas os jebuseus habitam com os filhos de Benjamim em Jerusalém até os dias de hoje.
22 The men of the tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh went to fight against [the men of] Bethel [city], and Yahweh helped them.
A casa de José também foi contra Betel, e Yahweh estava com eles.
23 They sent some spies to [find out everything that they could find out about] Bethel, which was previously called Luz.
A casa de José enviou para espionar Betel. (O nome da cidade antes disso era Luz)
24 The spies saw a man who was coming out of the city. They said to him, “If you show us a way to get into the city, we will be kind to you [and we will not kill you].”
Os observadores viram um homem sair da cidade, e lhe disseram: “Por favor, mostre-nos a entrada na cidade, e nós trataremos gentilmente com você”.
25 So the man showed them a way to enter the city. The men of the tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh entered the city and killed all the people with their swords, but they did not kill the man [who showed them how to get into the city], and they did not kill his family.
Ele lhes mostrou a entrada na cidade, e eles atingiram a cidade com o fio da espada; mas eles deixaram o homem e toda sua família ir.
26 That man went to the area where the descendants of Heth lived, and built a city. He named the city Luz, and that is still the name of that city.
O homem entrou na terra dos hititas, construiu uma cidade, e chamou seu nome de Luz, que é seu nome até hoje.
27 There were people of the Canaan people-group who lived in Beth-Shan, Taanach, Dor, Ibleam, and Megiddo [cities] and in the surrounding villages. [The men of] the tribe of Manasseh did not force those people to leave those towns, because the people of the Canaan people-group were determined to stay there.
Manasseh não expulsou os habitantes de Beth Shean e suas cidades, nem de Taanach e suas cidades, nem os habitantes de Dor e suas cidades, nem os habitantes de Ibleam e suas cidades, nem os habitantes de Megiddo e suas cidades; mas os cananeus habitariam naquela terra.
28 Later, the Israelis became (stronger/more numerous), and they forced the people of the Canaan people-group to work for them [as their slaves], but they did not force all the people of the Canaan people-group to leave their land.
Quando Israel se tornou forte, eles colocaram os cananeus em trabalhos forçados, e não os expulsaram totalmente.
29 [The men of] the tribe of Ephraim did not force the people of the Canaan people-group to leave Gezer [city]. So the people of the Canaan people-group continued to live with the people of the tribe of Ephraim.
Efraim não expulsou os cananeus que viviam em Gezer, mas os cananeus viviam em Gezer, entre eles.
30 [The men of] the tribe of Zebulun did nor compel the people of the Canaan people-group who were living in Kitron and Nahalol [cities] to leave. They stayed there and lived among the people of the tribe of Zebulun, but the people of Zebulun forced them to work for them as their slaves.
Zebulun não expulsou os habitantes de Kitron, nem os habitantes de Nahalol; mas os cananeus viveram entre eles, e tornaram-se sujeitos a trabalhos forçados.
31 [The men of] the tribe of Asher did not force the people of the Canaan people-group who lived in Acco, Sidon, Ahlab, Aczib, Helbah, Aphek and Rehob [cities] to leave.
Asher não expulsou os habitantes de Acco, nem os habitantes de Sidon, nem os habitantes de Ahlab, nem os de Achzib, nem os de Helbah, nem os de Aphik, nem os de Rehob;
32 So the people of the tribe of Asher lived among them.
mas os asheritas viveram entre os cananeus, os habitantes da terra, pois eles não os expulsaram.
33 [The men of] the tribe of Naphtali did not compel the people who lived in Beth-Shemesh and Beth-Anath [cities] to leave, so the people in those two cities continued to live there, but the people of the Canaan people-group were forced to work as the slaves of the people of the tribe of Naphtali.
Naftali não expulsou os habitantes de Beth Shemesh, nem os habitantes de Beth Anath; mas ele viveu entre os cananeus, os habitantes da terra. Entretanto, os habitantes de Beth Shemesh e de Beth Anath ficaram sujeitos a trabalhos forçados.
34 The people of the Amor people-group forced the people of the tribe of Dan to live in the hills. They did not allow them to come down [and live] on the plain.
Os amoritas forçaram os filhos de Dan a entrarem na região montanhosa, pois não lhes permitiram descer ao vale;
35 The people of the Amor people-group were determined to stay in Heres Mountain and in Aijalon and Shaalbim [cities]. But when the Israelis became (stronger/more numerous), they forced the people of the Amor people-group to work as their slaves.
mas os amoritas morariam no Monte Heres, em Aijalon, e em Shaalbim. Mas a mão da casa de José prevaleceu, de modo que eles se submeteram ao trabalho forçado.
36 The land where the Amor people-group lived extended from Scorpion Pass [toward the west] beyond Sela [town], up into the hilly area.
A fronteira dos amorreus era desde a subida de Akrabbim, desde a rocha, e para cima.
