Judges 4
1 But after the death of Ehud, the sons of Israel resumed doing evil in the sight of the Lord.
Mas os filhos de Israel voltaram a fazer o mal aos olhos do SENHOR, depois da morte de Eúde.
2 And the Lord delivered them into the hands of Jabin, the king of Canaan, who reigned at Hazor. And he had a commander of his army named Sisera, but this man lived at Harosheth of the Gentiles.
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.
3 And the sons of Israel cried out to the Lord. For he had nine hundred chariots with scythes, and he vehemently oppressed them for twenty years.
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.
4 Now there was a prophetess, Deborah, the wife of Lappidoth, who judged the people in that time.
E governava naquele tempo a Israel uma mulher, Débora, profetisa, mulher de Lapidote:
5 And she was sitting under a palm tree, which was called by her name, between Ramah and Bethel, on Mount Ephraim. And the sons of Israel went up to her for every judgment.
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.
6 And she sent and called Barak, the son of Abinoam, from Kedesh of Naphtali. And she said to him: “The Lord, the God of Israel, instructs you: ‘Go and lead an army to Mount Tabor, and you shall take with you ten thousand fighting men from the sons of Naphtali and from the sons of Zebulun.
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:
7 Then I will lead to you, at the place of the torrent Kishon, Sisera, the leader of the army of Jabin, with his chariots and the entire multitude. And I will deliver them into your hand.’”
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?
8 And Barak said to her: “If you will come with me, I will go. If you are not willing to come with me, I will not go.”
E Baraque lhe respondeu: Se tu fores comigo, eu irei: mas se não fores comigo, não irei.
9 She said to him: “Indeed, I will go with you. But due to this change, the victory shall not be reputed to you. And so Sisera will be delivered into the hand of a woman.” Therefore, Deborah rose up, and she traveled with Barak to Kedesh.
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.
10 And he, summoning Zebulun and Naphtali, ascended with ten thousand fighting men, having Deborah in his company.
E juntou Baraque a Zebulom e a Naftali em Quedes, e subiu com dez mil homens a seu mando, e Débora subiu com ele.
11 Now Heber, the Kenite, had previously withdrawn from the rest of the Kenites, his brothers, the sons of Hobab, the relative of Moses. And he had pitched his tents as far as the valley that is called Zaanannim, which was near Kedesh.
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.
12 And it was reported to Sisera that Barak, the son of Abinoam, had ascended to Mount Tabor.
Vieram, pois, as notícias a Sísera como Baraque filho de Abinoão havia subido ao monte de Tabor.
13 And he gathered together the nine hundred chariots with scythes, and the entire army, from Harosheth of the Gentiles to the torrent Kishon.
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.
14 And Deborah said to Barak: “Rise up. For this is the day on which the Lord delivers Sisera into your hands. For he is your commander.” And so, Barak descended from Mount Tabor, and the ten thousand fighting men with him.
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.
15 And the Lord struck Sisera with great fear, and all his chariots and all his multitude with the edge of the sword, in the sight of Barak, so much so that Sisera, leaping from his chariot, fled on foot.
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.
16 And Barak pursued the fleeing chariots, and the army, as far as Harosheth of the Gentiles. And the entire multitude of the enemy was cut down, unto utter annihilation.
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.
17 But Sisera, while fleeing, arrived at the tent of Jael, the wife of Heber, the Kenite. For there was peace between Jabin, the king of Hazor, and the house of Heber, the Kenite.
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.
18 Therefore, Jael went out to meet Sisera, and she said to him: “Enter to me, my lord. Enter, you should not be afraid.” And he entered her tent, and having been covered by her with a cloak,
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.
19 he said to her: “Give me, I beg you, a little water. For I am very thirsty.” And she opened a bottle of milk, and she gave him to drink. And she covered him.
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.
20 And Sisera said to her: “Stand before the door of the tent. And if anyone arrives, questioning you and saying, ‘Could there be any man here?’ you shall respond, ‘There is no one.’”
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.
21 And so Jael, the wife of Heber, took a spike from the tent, and also took a mallet. And entering unseen and with silence, she placed the spike over the temple of his head. And striking it with the mallet, she drove it through his brain, as far as the ground. And so, joining deep sleep to death, he fell unconscious and died.
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.
22 And behold, Barak arrived, in pursuit of Sisera. And Jael, going out to meet him, said to him, “Come, and I will show you the man whom you are seeking.” And when he had entered her tent, he saw Sisera lying dead, with the spike fixed in his temples.
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.
23 Thus did God humble Jabin, the king of Canaan, on that day, before the sons of Israel.
Assim abateu Deus aquele dia a Jabim, rei de Canaã, diante dos filhos de Israel.
24 And they increased every day. And with a strong hand they overpowered Jabin, the king of Canaan, until they wiped him out.
E a mão dos filhos de Israel começou a crescer e a fortificar-se contra Jabim rei de Canaã, até que o destruíram.
