Judges 20
1 And all the children of Israel went out, and all the congregation was gathered as one man, from Dan even to Bersabee, and in the land of Galaad, to the Lord at Massepha.
Então saíram todos os filhos de Israel, e reuniu-se a congregação como um só homem, desde Dã até Berseba e a terra de Gileade, ao SENHOR em Mispá.
2 And all the tribes of Israel stood before the Lord in the assembly of the people of God, four hundred thousand footmen that drew sword.
E os principais de todo aquele povo, de todas as tribos de Israel, se acharam presentes na reunião do povo de Deus, quatrocentos mil homens a pé que tiravam espada.
3 And the children of Benjamin heard that the children of Israel were gone up to Massepha: and the children of Israel came and said, Tell us, where did this wickedness take place?
E os filhos de Benjamim ouviram que os filhos de Israel haviam subido a Mispá. E disseram os filhos de Israel: Dizei como foi esta maldade.
4 And the Levite, the husband of the woman that was slain, answered and said, I and my concubine went to Gabaa of Benjamin to lodge.
Então o homem levita, marido da mulher morta, respondeu e disse: Eu cheguei a Gibeá de Benjamim com minha concubina, para ter ali a noite.
5 And the men of Gabaa rose up against me, and compassed the house by night against me; they wished to kill me, and they have humbled my concubine, and she is dead.
E levantando-se contra mim os de Gibeá, cercaram sobre mim a casa de noite, com ideia de matar-me, e oprimiram minha concubina de tal maneira, que ela foi morta.
6 And I laid hold of my concubine, and divided her in pieces, and sent [the parts] into every coast of the inheritance of the children of Israel; for they have wrought lewdness and abomination in Israel.
Então tomando eu minha concubina, cortei-a em peças, e enviei-as por todo aquele termo da possessão de Israel: porquanto fizeram maldade e crime em Israel.
7 Behold, all you [are] children of Israel; and consider and take counsel here amongst yourselves.
Eis que todos vós os filhos de Israel estais presentes; dai-vos aqui parecer e conselho.
8 And all the people rose up as one man, saying, No one of us shall return to his tent, and no one of us shall return to his house.
Então todo aquele povo, como um só homem, se levantou, e disseram: Nenhum de nós irá à sua tenda, nem nos apartaremos cada um à sua casa,
9 And now this [is] the thing which shall be done in Gabaa; we will go up against it by lot.
Até que façamos isto sobre Gibeá: que lancemos sortes contra ela;
10 Moreover we will take ten men for a hundred for all the tribes of Israel, and a hundred for a thousand, and a thousand for ten thousand, to take provision, to cause them to come to Gabaa of Benjamin, to do to it according to all the abomination, which they wrought in Israel.
E tomaremos dez homens de cada cem por todas as tribos de Israel, e de cada mil cem, e mil de cada dez mil, que levem mantimento para o povo que deve agir, indo contra Gibeá de Benjamim, conforme toda a abominação que havia cometido em Israel.
11 And all the men of Israel were gathered to the city as one man.
E juntaram-se todos os homens de Israel contra a cidade, ligados como um só homem.
12 And the tribes of Israel sent men through the whole tribe of Benjamin, saying, What [is] this wickedness that has been wrought amongst you?
E as tribos de Israel enviaram homens por toda a tribo de Benjamim, dizendo: Que maldade é esta que foi feita entre vós?
13 Now then give up the men the sons of transgressors that are in Gabaa, and we will put them to death, and purge out wickedness from Israel: but the children of Benjamin consented not to listen to the voice of their brethren the children of Israel.
Entregai, pois, agora aqueles homens, malignos, que estão em Gibeá, para que os matemos, e varramos o mal de Israel. Mas os de Benjamim não quiseram ouvir a voz de seus irmãos os filhos de Israel;
14 And the children of Benjamin were gathered from their cities to Gabaa, to go forth to fight with the children of Israel.
Antes os de Benjamim se juntaram das cidades de Gibeá, para sair a lutar contra os filhos de Israel.
15 And the children of Benjamin from their cities were numbered in that day, twenty-three thousand, [every] man drawing a sword, besides the inhabitants of Gabaa, who were numbered seven hundred chosen men of all the people, able to use both hands alike;
E foram contados naquele tempo os filhos de Benjamim das cidades, vinte e seis mil homens que tiravam espada, sem os que moravam em Gibeá, que foram por conta setecentos homens escolhidos.
16 All these could sling with stones at a hair, and not miss.
De toda aquela gente havia setecentos homens escolhidos, que eram canhotos, todos os quais atiravam uma pedra com a funda a um fio de cabelo, e não erravam.
17 And the men of Israel, exclusive of Benjamin, were numbered four hundred thousand men that drew sword; all these [were] men of war.
E foram contados os homens de Israel, fora de Benjamim, quatrocentos mil homens que tiravam espada, todos estes homens de guerra.
18 And they arose and went up to Baethel, and enquired of God: and the children of Israel said, Who shall go up for us first to fight with the children of Benjamin? And the Lord said, Juda shall go up first as leader.
Levantaram-se logo os filhos de Israel, e subiram à casa de Deus, e consultaram a Deus, dizendo: Quem subirá de nós o primeiro na guerra contra os filhos de Benjamim? E o SENHOR respondeu: Judá o primeiro.
19 And the children of Israel rose up in the morning, and encamped against Gabaa.
Levantando-se, pois, de manhã os filhos de Israel, puseram acampamento contra Gibeá.
20 And they went out, all the men of Israel, to fight with Benjamin, and engaged with them at Gabaa.
E saíram os filhos de Israel a combater contra Benjamim; e os homens de Israel ordenaram a batalha contra eles junto a Gibeá.
21 And the sons of Benjamin went forth from Gabaa, and they destroyed in Israel on that day two and twenty thousand men down to the ground.
Saindo então de Gibeá os filhos de Benjamim, derrubaram em terra aquele dia vinte e dois mil homens dos filhos de Israel.
22 And the men of Israel strengthened themselves, and again engaged in battle in the place where they had engaged on the first day.
Mas reanimando-se o povo, os homens de Israel voltaram a ordenar a batalha no mesmo lugar onde a haviam ordenado o primeiro dia.
23 And the children of Israel went up, and wept before the Lord till evening, and enquired of the Lord, saying, Shall we again draw near to battle with our brethren the children of Benjamin? and the Lord said, Go up against them.
Porque os filhos de Israel subiram, e choraram diante do SENHOR até à tarde, e consultaram com o SENHOR, dizendo: Voltarei a lutar com os filhos de Benjamim meu irmão? E o SENHOR lhes respondeu: Subi contra ele.
24 And the children of Israel advanced against the children of Benjamin on the second day.
Então os filhos de Israel se aproximaram no dia seguinte contra os filhos de Benjamim.
25 And the children of Benjamin went forth to meet them from Gabaa on the second day, and destroyed of the children of Israel yet further eighteen thousand men down to the ground: all these drew sword.
E aquele segundo dia, saindo Benjamim de Gibeá contra eles, derrubaram por terra outros dezoito mil homens dos filhos de Israel, todos os quais tiravam espada.
26 And the children of Israel and all the people went up, and came to Baethel; and they wept, and sat there before the Lord; and they fasted on that day until evening, and offered whole burnt offerings and perfect sacrifices, before the Lord,
Então subiram todos os filhos de Israel, e todo aquele povo, e vieram à casa de Deus; e choraram, e sentaram-se ali diante do SENHOR, e jejuaram naquele dia até à tarde; e sacrificaram holocaustos e pacíficos diante do SENHOR.
27 for the ark of the Lord God [was] there in those days,
E os filhos de Israel perguntaram ao SENHOR, (porque a arca do pacto de Deus estava ali naqueles dias,
28 and Phinees the son of Eleazar the son of Aaron stood before it in those days; and the children of Israel enquired of the Lord, saying, Shall we yet again go forth to fight with our brethren the sons of Benjamin? and the Lord said, Go up, to-morrow I will give them into your hands.
E Fineias, filho de Eleazar, filho de Arão, se apresentava diante dela naqueles dias, ) e disseram: Voltarei a sair em batalha contra os filhos de Benjamim meu irmão, ou ficarei quieto? E o SENHOR disse: Subi, que amanhã eu o entregarei em tua mão.
29 And the children of Israel set an ambush against Gabaa round about [it].
E pôs Israel emboscadas ao redor de Gibeá.
30 And the children of Israel went up against the children of Benjamin on the third day, and arrayed themselves against Gabaa as before.
Subindo então os filhos de Israel contra os filhos de Benjamim o terceiro dia, ordenaram a batalha diante de Gibeá, como as outras vezes.
31 And the children of Benjamin went out to meet the people, and were all drawn out of the city, and began to strike and kill the people as before in the roads, whereof one goes up to Baethel, and one to Gabaa in the field, about thirty men of Israel.
E saindo os filhos de Benjamim contra o povo, afastados que foram da cidade, começaram a ferir alguns do povo, matando como das outras vezes pelos caminhos, um dos quais sobe a Betel, e o outro a Gibeá no acampamento: e mataram uns trinta homens de Israel.
32 And the children of Benjamin said, They fall before us as at the first: but the children of Israel said, Let us flee, and draw them out from the city into the roads; and they did so.
E os filhos de Benjamim diziam: Derrotados são diante de nós, como antes. Mas os filhos de Israel diziam: Fugiremos, e os afastaremos da cidade até os caminhos.
33 And all the men rose up out of their places, and engaged in Baal Thamar; and the liers in wait of Israel advanced from their place from Maraagabe.
Então, levantando-se todos os de Israel de seu lugar, puseram-se em ordem em Baal-Tamar: e também as emboscadas de Israel saíram de seu lugar, do prado de Gibeá.
34 And there came over against Gabaa ten thousand chosen men out of all Israel; and the fight [was] severe; and they knew not that evil was coming upon them.
E vieram contra Gibeá dez mil homens escolhidos de todo Israel, e a batalha começou a agravar-se: mas eles não sabiam que o mal se aproximava sobre eles.
35 And the Lord struck Benjamin before the children of Israel; and the children of Israel destroyed of Benjamin in that day a hundred and twenty-five thousand men: all these drew sword.
E feriu o SENHOR a Benjamim diante de Israel; e mataram os filhos de Israel aquele dia vinte e cinco mil e cem homens de Benjamim, todos os quais tiravam espada.
36 And the children of Benjamin saw that they were struck; and the men of Israel gave place to Benjamin, because they trusted in the ambuscade which they had prepared against Gabaa.
E viram os filhos de Benjamim que eram mortos; pois os filhos de Israel haviam dado lugar a Benjamim, porque estavam confiantes nas emboscadas que haviam posto detrás de Gibeá.
37 And when they retreated, then the liers in wait rose up, and they moved towards Gabaa, and the whole ambush came forth, and they struck the city with the edge of the sword.
Então as emboscadas atacaram prontamente Gibeá, e se estenderam, e passaram à espada toda a cidade.
38 And the children of Israel had a signal of battle with the liers in wait, that they should send up a signal of smoke from the city.
Já os israelitas estavam combinados com as emboscadas, que fizessem muito fogo, para que subisse grande fumaça da cidade.
39 And the children of Israel saw that the liers in wait had seized Gabaa, and they stood in line of battle; and Benjamin began to strike down wounded ones amongst the men of Israel about thirty men; for they said, Surely they fall again before us, as in the first battle.
Logo, pois, que os de Israel se viraram na batalha, os de Benjamim começaram a derrubar feridos de Israel uns trinta homens, e já diziam: Certamente eles caíram diante de nós, como na primeira batalha.
40 And the signal went up increasingly over the city as a pillar of smoke; and Benjamin looked behind him, and behold the destruction of the city went up to heaven.
Mas quando a chama começou a subir da cidade, uma coluna de fumaça, Benjamim virou a olhar atrás; e eis que o fogo da cidade subia ao céu.
41 And the men of Israel turned back, and the men of Benjamin hasted, because they saw that evil had come upon them.
Então deram meia-volta os homens de Israel, e os de Benjamim se encheram de temor: porque viram que o mal havia vindo sobre eles.
42 And they turned to the way of the wilderness from before the children of Israel, and fled: but the battle overtook them, and they from the cities destroyed them in the midst of them.
Voltaram-se, pois, de costas diante de Israel até o caminho do deserto; mas o esquadrão os alcançou, e os saídos da cidade os matavam, depois de virem ao meio deles.
43 And they cut down Benjamin, and pursued him from Nua closely till they came opposite Gabaa on the east.
Assim cercaram aos de Benjamim, e os perseguiram e pisaram, desde Menuá até em frente de Gibeá até o oriente.
44 And there fell of Benjamin eighteen thousand men: all these [were] men of might.
E caíram de Benjamim dezoito mil homens, todos eles homens de guerra.
45 And the rest turned, and fled to the wilderness to the rock of Remmon; and the children of Israel picked off of them five thousand men; and the children of Israel went down after them as far as Gedan, and they struck of them two thousand men.
Voltando-se logo, fugiram até o deserto, à penha de Rimom, e deles exterminaram cinco mil homens nos caminhos: foram ainda perseguindo-os até Gidom, e mataram deles dois mil homens.
46 And all that fell of Benjamin were twenty-five thousand men that drew sword in that day: all these were men of might.
Assim todos os que de Benjamim morreram aquele dia, foram vinte e cinco mil homens que tiravam espada, todos eles homens de guerra.
47 And the rest turned, and fled to the wilderness to the rock of Remmon, even [six] hundred men; and they sojourned four months in the rock of Remmon.
Porém se voltaram e fugiram ao deserto à penha de Rimom seiscentos homens, os quais estiveram na penha de Rimom quatro meses:
48 And the children of Israel returned to the children of Benjamin, and struck them with the edge of the sword from the city of Methla, even to the cattle, and every thing that was found in all the cities: and they burnt with fire the cities they found.
E os homens de Israel voltaram aos filhos de Benjamim, e passaram-nos à espada, a homens e animais na cidade, e tudo o que foi achado: também puseram fogo a todas as cidades que achavam.
