Juízes 3

1 Estas, pois, são as nações que o SENHOR deixou para provar com elas a Israel, a todos aqueles que não haviam conhecido todas as guerras de Canaã;

Now these are the nations which the LORD left, to test Israel by them, even as many of Israel as had not known all the wars of Canaan;

2 Somente para que a linhagem dos filhos de Israel conhecesse, para ensiná-los na guerra, pelo menos aos que antes não a conheciam:

Only that the generations of the children of Israel might know, to teach them war, at the least such as before knew nothing of it;

3 Cinco príncipes dos filisteus, e todos os cananeus, e os sidônios, e os heveus que habitavam no monte Líbano: desde o monte de Baal-Hermom até chegar a Hamate.

Namely, five lords of the Philistines, and all the Canaanites, and the Sidonians, and the Hivites that dwelt on mount Lebanon, from mount Baalhermon to the entrance of Hamath.

4 Estes, pois, foram para provar por eles a Israel, para saber se obedeceriam aos mandamentos do SENHOR, que ele havia prescrito a seus pais por meio de Moisés.

And they were to test Israel by them, to know whether they would hearken to the commandments of the LORD, which he commanded their fathers by the hand of Moses.

5 Assim os filhos de Israel habitavam entre os cananeus, heteus, amorreus, perizeus, heveus, e jebuseus:

And the children of Israel dwelt among the Canaanites, Hittites, and Amorites, and Perizzites, and Hivites, and Jebusites:

6 E tomaram de suas filhas por mulheres, e deram suas filhas aos filhos deles, e serviram a seus deuses.

And they took their daughters to be their wives, and gave their daughters to their sons, and served their gods.

7 Fizeram, pois, os filhos de Israel o mal aos olhos do SENHOR: e esquecidos do SENHOR seu Deus, serviram aos baalins, e aos ídolos dos bosques.

And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD, and forgot the LORD their God, and served Baalim and the groves.

8 E a ira do SENHOR se acendeu contra Israel, e vendeu-os em mãos de Cusã-Risataim rei da Mesopotâmia; e serviram os filhos de Israel a Cusã-Risataim oito anos.

Therefore the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel, and he sold them into the hand of Chushanrishathaim king of Mesopotamia: and the children of Israel served Chushanrishathaim eight years.

9 E clamaram os filhos de Israel ao SENHOR; e o SENHOR suscitou salvador aos filhos de Israel e livrou-os; é, a saber, a Otniel filho de Quenaz, irmão menor de Calebe.

And when the children of Israel cried to the LORD, the LORD raised up a deliverer to the children of Israel, who delivered them, even Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb’s younger brother.

10 E o espírito do SENHOR foi sobre ele, e julgou a Israel, e saiu à batalha, e o SENHOR entregou em sua mão a Cusã-Risataim, rei da Síria, e prevaleceu sua mão contra Cusã-Risataim.

And the Spirit of the LORD came upon him, and he judged Israel, and went out to war: and the LORD delivered Chushanrishathaim king of Mesopotamia into his hand; and his hand prevailed against Chushanrishathaim.

11 E repousou a terra quarenta anos; e morreu Otniel, filho de Quenaz.

And the land had rest forty years. And Othniel the son of Kenaz died.

12 E voltaram os filhos de Israel a fazer o mal ante os olhos do SENHOR; e o SENHOR esforçou a Eglom rei de Moabe contra Israel, porquanto fizeram o mal ante os olhos do SENHOR.

And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the LORD: and the LORD strengthened Eglon the king of Moab against Israel, because they had done evil in the sight of the LORD.

13 E Juntou consigo aos filhos de Amom e de Amaleque, e foi, e feriu a Israel, e tomou a cidade das palmeiras.

And he gathered to him the children of Ammon and Amalek, and went and smote Israel, and possessed the city of palm trees.

14 E serviram os filhos de Israel a Eglom rei dos moabitas dezoito anos.

So the children of Israel served Eglon the king of Moab eighteen years.

15 E clamaram os filhos de Israel ao SENHOR; e o SENHOR lhes suscitou salvador, a Eúde, filho de Gera, benjamita, o qual era canhoto. E os filhos de Israel enviaram com ele um presente a Eglom rei de Moabe.

But when the children of Israel cried to the LORD, the LORD raised them up a deliverer, Ehud the son of Gera, a Benjamite, a man lefthanded: and by him the children of Israel sent tribute to Eglon king of Moab.

16 E Eúde se havia feito um punhal de dois fios, de um côvado de comprimento; e cingiu-se com ele debaixo de suas roupas à seu lado direito.

But Ehud made him a dagger which had two edges, of a cubit length; and he girded it under his raiment upon his right thigh.

17 E apresentou o presente a Eglom rei de Moabe; e era Eglom homem muito gordo.

And he brought the tribute to Eglon king of Moab: and Eglon was a very fat man.

18 E logo que apresentou o presente, despediu à gente que o havia trazido.

And when he had finished offering the tribute, he sent away the people that bore the tribute.

19 Mas ele se virou desde os ídolos que estão em Gilgal, e disse: Rei, uma palavra secreta tenho que dizer-te. Ele então disse: Cala. E sairam-se de com ele todos os que diante dele estavam.

But he himself turned back at the quarries that were by Gilgal, and said, I have a secret errand to thee, O king: who said, Keep silence. And all that stood by him went out from him.

20 E chegou-se Eúde a ele, o qual estava sentado sozinho em uma sala de verão. E Eúde disse: Tenho palavra de Deus para ti. Ele então se levantou da cadeira.

And Ehud came to him; and he was sitting in a summer parlour, which he had for himself alone. And Ehud said, I have a message from God to thee. And he arose from his seat.

21 Mas Eúde meteu sua mão esquerda, e tomou o punhal de seu lado direito, e meteu-o pelo ventre;

And Ehud put forth his left hand, and took the dagger from his right thigh, and thrust it into his belly:

22 De tal maneira que a empunhadura entrou também atrás a lâmina, e a gordura encerrou a lâmina, que ele não tirou o punhal de seu ventre: e saiu dele fezes.

And the handle also entered after the blade; and the fat closed upon the blade, so that he could not draw the dagger out of his belly; and the dirt came out.

23 E saindo Eúde ao pátio, fechou atrás si as portas da sala.

Then Ehud went forth through the porch, and shut the doors of the parlour upon him, and locked them.

24 E saído ele, vieram seus servos, os quais vendo as portas da sala fechadas, disseram: Sem dúvida ele está fazendo suas necessidades na sala de verão.

When he had gone out, his servants came; and when they saw that, behold, the doors of the parlour were locked, they said, Surely he covereth his feet in his summer chamber.

25 E havendo esperado até estar confusos, pois que ele não abria as portas da sala, tomaram a chave e abriram: e eis que seu senhor caído em terra morto.

And they tarried till they were ashamed: and, behold, he opened not the doors of the parlour; therefore they took a key, and opened them: and, behold, their lord lay dead on the earth.

26 Mas enquanto que eles se demoravam, Eúde se escapou, e passando os ídolos, salvou-se em Seirá.

And Ehud escaped while they tarried, and passed beyond the quarries, and escaped to Seirath.

27 E quando entrou, tocou a trombeta no monte de Efraim, e os filhos de Israel desceram com ele do monte, e ele ia adiante deles.

And it came to pass, when he had come, that he blew a trumpet in the mountain of Ephraim, and the children of Israel went down with him from the mount, and he before them.

28 Então ele lhes disse: Segui-me, porque o SENHOR entregou vossos inimigos os moabitas em vossas mãos. E desceram atrás dele, e tomaram os vaus do Jordão a Moabe, e não deixaram passar a ninguém.

And he said to them, Follow me: for the LORD hath delivered your enemies the Moabites into your hand. And they went down after him, and took the fords of Jordan toward Moab, and permitted not a man to pass over.

29 E naquele tempo feriram dos moabitas como dez mil homens, todos valentes e todos homens de guerra; não escapou homem.

And they slew of Moab at that time about ten thousand men, all stout, and all men of valour; and there escaped not a man.

30 Assim restou Moabe subjugado aquele dia sob a mão de Israel: e repousou a terra oitenta anos.

So Moab was subdued that day under the hand of Israel. And the land had rest eighty years.

31 Depois deste foi Sangar filho de Anate, o qual feriu seiscentos homens dos filisteus com uma aguilhada de bois; e ele também salvou a Israel.

And after him was Shamgar the son of Anath, who slew of the Philistines six hundred men with an ox goad: and he also delivered Israel.
