Judges 2
1 Now the angel of the LORD went up from Gilgal to Bochim and said, “I brought you up out of Egypt and led you into the land that I had promised to your fathers, and I said, ‘I will never break My covenant with you,
E subiu o anjo do Senhor de Gilgal a Bochim, e disse: Do Egypto vos fiz subir, e vos trouxe á terra que a vossos paes tinha jurado e dito: Nunca invalidarei o meu concerto comvosco.
2 and you are not to make a covenant with the people of this land, but you shall tear down their altars.’ Yet you have not obeyed My voice. What is this you have done?
E, quanto a vós, não fareis concerto com os moradores d'esta terra, antes derrubareis os seus altares: mas vós não obedecestes á minha voz. Porque fizestes isto
3 So now I tell you that I will not drive out these people before you; they will be thorns in your sides, and their gods will be a snare to you.”
Pelo que tambem eu disso: Não os expellirei de diante de vós: antes estarão ás vossas ilhargas, e os seus deuses vos serão por laço
4 When the angel of the LORD had spoken these words to all the Israelites, the people lifted up their voices and wept.
E succedeu que, fallando o anjo do Senhor estas palavras a todos os filhos d'Israel, o povo levantou a sua voz e chorou.
5 So they called that place Bochim and offered sacrifices there to the LORD.
Pelo que chamaram áquelle logar, Bochim: e sacrificaram ali ao Senhor.
6 After Joshua had dismissed the people, the Israelites went out to take possession of the land, each to his own inheritance.
E havendo Josué despedido o povo, foram-se os filhos d'Israel, cada um á sua herdade, para possuirem a terra.
7 And the people served the LORD throughout the days of Joshua and of the elders who outlived him, who had seen all the great works that the LORD had done for Israel.
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 aquella grande obra do Senhor, que fizera a Israel.
8 And Joshua son of Nun, the servant of the LORD, died at the age of 110.
Falleceu porém Josué, filho de Nun, servo do Senhor, da edade de cento e dez annos;
9 They buried him in the land of his inheritance, at Timnath-heres in the hill country of Ephraim, north of Mount Gaash.
E sepultaram-o no termo da sua herdade, em Timnath-heres, no monte d'Ephraim, para o norte do monte de Gaas.
10 After that whole generation had also been gathered to their fathers, another generation rose up who did not know the LORD or the works that He had done for Israel.
E foi tambem congregada toda aquella geração a seus paes, e outra geração após d'elles se levantou, que não conhecia ao Senhor, nem tão pouco a obra, que fizera a Israel
11 And the Israelites did evil in the sight of the LORD and served the Baals.
Então fizeram os filhos de Israel o que parecia mal aos olhos do Senhor: e serviram os baalins.
12 Thus they forsook the LORD, the God of their fathers, who had brought them out of the land of Egypt, and they followed after various gods of the peoples around them. They bowed down to them and provoked the LORD to anger,
E deixaram ao Senhor Deus de seus paes, que os tirara da terra do Egypto, e foram-se após d'outros deuses, d'entre os deuses das gentes, que havia ao redor d'elles, e encurvaram-se a elles: e provocaram ao Senhor a ira.
13 for they forsook Him and served Baal and the Ashtoreths.
Porquanto deixaram ao Senhor: e serviram a Baal e a Astaroth.
14 Then the anger of the LORD burned against Israel, and He delivered them into the hands of those who plundered them. He sold them into the hands of their enemies all around, whom they were no longer able to resist.
Pelo que a ira do Senhor se accendeu contra Israel, e os deu na mão dos roubadores, e os roubaram: e os entregou na mão dos seus inimigos ao redor: e não poderam mais estar em pé diante dos seus inimigos.
15 Wherever Israel marched out, the hand of the LORD was against them to bring calamity, just as He had sworn to them. So they were greatly distressed.
Por onde quer que sahiam, a mão do Senhor era contra elles para mal, como o Senhor tinha dito, e como o Senhor lh'o tinha jurado: e estavam em grande aperto.
16 Then the LORD raised up judges, who saved them from the hands of those who plundered them.
E levantou o Senhor juizes, que os livraram da mão dos que os roubaram.
17 Israel, however, did not listen to their judges. Instead, they prostituted themselves with other gods and bowed down to them. They quickly turned from the way of their fathers, who had walked in obedience to the LORD’s commandments; they did not do as their fathers had done.
Porém tão pouco ouviram aos juizes, anteu fornicaram após outros deuses, e encurvaram-se a elles: depressa se desviaram do caminho, por onde andaram seus paes, ouvindo os mandamentos do Senhor; o que elles assim não fizeram.
18 Whenever the LORD raised up a judge for the Israelites, He was with that judge and saved them from the hands of their enemies while the judge was still alive; for the LORD was moved to pity by their groaning under those who oppressed them and afflicted them.
E, quando o Senhor lhes levantava juizes, o Senhor era com o juiz, e os livrava da mão dos seus inimigos, todos os dias d'aquelle juiz; porquanto o Senhor se arrependia pelo seu gemido, por causa dos que os apertavam e opprimiam.
19 But when the judge died, the Israelites became even more corrupt than their fathers, going after other gods to serve them and bow down to them. They would not give up their evil practices and stubborn ways.
Porém succedia que, fallecendo o juiz, tornavam e se corrompiam mais do que seus paes, andando após de outros deuses, servindo-os, e encurvando-se a elles: nada deixavam das suas obras, nem do seu duro caminho.
20 So the anger of the LORD burned against Israel, and He said, “Because this nation has transgressed the covenant I laid down for their fathers and has not heeded My voice,
Pelo que a ira do Senhor se accendeu contra Israel; e disse: Porquanto este povo traspassou o meu concerto, que tinha ordenado a seus paes, e não deram ouvidos á minha voz.
21 I will no longer drive out before them any of the nations Joshua left when he died.
Tão pouco desapossarei mais de diante d'elles a nenhuma das nações, que Josué deixou, morrendo;
22 In this way I will test whether Israel will keep the way of the LORD by walking in it as their fathers did.”
Para por ellas provar a Israel, se houvessem de guardar o caminho do Senhor, para por elle andarem, como seus paes o guardaram, ou não.
23 That is why the LORD had left those nations in place and had not driven them out immediately by delivering them into the hand of Joshua.
Assim o Senhor deixou ficar aquellas nações, e não as desterrou logo, nem as entregou na mão de Josué.
