Judges 20
1 And all the children of Israel went forth, and the assembly gathered together as one man, from Dan to Beer-sheba, and the land of Gilead, unto Jehovah at Mizpah.
Então todos os filhos de Israel sairam, e a congregação se ajuntou, como se fôra um só homem, desde Dan até Berseba como também a terra de Gilead, ao Senhor em Mispah.
2 And the heads of all the people, of all the tribes of Israel, presented themselves in the congregation of the people of God, four hundred thousand footmen that drew sword.
E dos cantos de todo o povo se apresentaram de todas as tribos de Israel na congregação do povo de Deus quatrocentos mil homens de pé que arrancavam a espada.
3 And the children of Benjamin heard that the children of Israel had gone up to Mizpah. And the children of Israel said, Tell [us], how was this wickedness?
(Ouviram pois os filhos de Benjamin que os filhos de Israel haviam subido a Mispah) E disseram os filhos de Israel: falai, como sucedeu esta maldade?
4 Then the Levite, the husband of the woman that was murdered, answered and said, I came to Gibeah that [belongs] to Benjamin, I and my concubine, to lodge.
Então respondeu o homem levita, marido da mulher que fôra morta, e disse: Cheguei com a minha concubina a Gibeah cidade de Benjamin, para passar a noite;
5 And the citizens of Gibeah rose against me, and surrounded the house because of me, by night; they thought to slay me, and my concubine have they humbled so that she died.
E os cidadãos de Gibeah se levantaram contra mim, e cercaram a casa de noite: intentaram matar-me, e violaram a minha concubina, de maneira que morreu.
6 Then I took my concubine, and cut her in pieces, and sent her throughout the country of the inheritance of Israel; for they have committed lewdness and villany in Israel.
Então peguei na minha concubina, e fi-la em pedaços, e a enviei por toda a terra da herança de Israel: porquanto fizeram tal malefício e loucura em Israel.
7 Behold, all ye, children of Israel, deliberate and give here [your] counsel.
Eis que todos sois filhos de Israel: dai aqui a vossa palavra e conselho.
8 And all the people rose up as one man, saying, We will not any one go to his tent, neither will we any one turn into his house.
Então todo o povo se levantou como um só homem, dizendo: Nenhum de nós irá à sua tenda nem nenhum de nós se retirará à sua casa.
9 But now this is the thing which we will do to Gibeah: [we go] by lot against it;
Porém isto é o que faremos a Gibeah: procederemos contra ela por sorte.
10 and we will take ten men of a hundred throughout all the tribes of Israel, and a hundred of a thousand, and a thousand of ten thousand, to fetch victuals for the people, that they may do, when they come to Gibeah of Benjamin, according to all the villany that they have wrought in Israel.
E tomaremos dez homens de cem de todas as tribos de Israel, e cem de mil, e mil de dez mil, para tomarem mantimento para o povo: para que, vindo eles a Gibeah de Benjamin, lhe façam conforme a toda a loucura que tem feito em Israel.
11 And all the men of Israel were gathered against the city, knit together as one man.
Assim ajuntaram-se contra esta cidade todos os homens de Israel, aliados como um só homem.
12 And the tribes of Israel sent men to all the families of Benjamin, saying, What wickedness is this that has been done among you?
E as tribos de Israel enviaram homens por toda a tribo de Benjamin, dizendo: Que maldade é esta que se fez entre vós?
13 And now give up the men, the sons of Belial, who are in Gibeah, that we may put them to death, and put away evil from Israel. But [the children of] Benjamin would not hearken to the voice of their brethren the children of Israel.
Dai-nos pois agora aqueles homens, filhos de Belial, que estão em Gibeah, para que os matemos, e tiremos de Israel o mal: porém os filhos de Benjamin não quizeram ouvir a voz de seus irmãos, os filhos de Israel.
14 And the children of Benjamin gathered themselves together out of the cities of Gibeah, to go out to battle against the children of Israel.
Antes os filhos de Benjamin se ajuntaram das cidades em Gibeah, para sairem a pelejar contra os filhos de Israel.
15 And the children of Benjamin were numbered at that time out of the cities, twenty-six thousand men that drew sword, besides the inhabitants of Gibeah, who were numbered seven hundred chosen men.
E contaram-se naquele dia os filhos de Benjamin, das cidades, vinte e seis mil homens que arrancavam a espada, a fora os moradores de Gibeah, de que se contaram setecentos homens escolhidos.
16 Among all this people there were seven hundred chosen men left-handed; all these slang stones at a hair [breadth], and missed not.
Entre todo este povo havia setecentos homens escolhidos, canhotos, os quais todos atiravam com a funda uma pedra a um cabelo, e não erravam.
17 And the men of Israel, besides Benjamin, were numbered four hundred thousand men that drew sword: all these were men of war.
E contaram-se dos homens de Israel, a fora os de Benjamin, quatrocentos mil homens que arrancavam da espada, e todos eles homens de guerra.
18 And the children of Israel arose and went up to Bethel, and inquired of God, and said, Which of us shall go up first to the battle against the children of Benjamin? And Jehovah said, Judah first.
E levantaram-se os filhos de Israel, e subiram a bethel, e perguntaram a Deus, e disseram: Quem dentre nós subirá o primeiro a pelejar contra Benjamin? E disse o Senhor: Judá subirá primeiro.
19 And the children of Israel rose up in the morning and encamped against Gibeah.
Levantaram-se pois os filhos de Israel pela manhã, e acamparam-se contra Gibeah.
20 And the men of Israel went out to battle against Benjamin; and the men of Israel put themselves in array to fight against them at Gibeah.
E os homens de Israel sairam à peleja contra Benjamin: e ordenaram os homens de Israel contra eles a peleja ao pé de Gibeah.
21 And the children of Benjamin went forth out of Gibeah, and destroyed to the ground of the Israelites that day twenty-two thousand men.
Então os filhos de Benjamin sairam de Gibeah, e derribaram por terra naquele dia vinte e dois mil homens de Israel.
22 And the people, the men of Israel, took courage, and set the battle again in array in the place where they put themselves in array the first day.
Porém esforçou-se o povo dos homens de Israel, e tornaram a ordenar a peleja no lugar onde no primeiro dia a tinham ordenado.
23 And the children of Israel went up and wept before Jehovah until even, and inquired of Jehovah, saying, Shall I go up again to battle against the children of Benjamin my brother? And Jehovah said, Go up against him.
E subiram os filhos de Israel, e choraram perante o Senhor até à tarde, e perguntaram ao Senhor, dizendo: tornar-me-ei a chegar à peleja contra os filhos de Benjamin, meu irmão? E disse o Senhor: Subi contra ele.
24 And the children of Israel came near against the children of Benjamin the second day.
Chegaram-se pois os filhos de Israel aos filhos de Benjamin, no dia seguinte.
25 And Benjamin went forth against them out of Gibeah the second day, and again destroyed to the ground of the children of Israel eighteen thousand men: all these drew the sword.
Também os de Benjamin no dia seguinte lhes sairam ao encontro fora de Gibeah, e derribaram ainda por terra mais dezoito mil homens, todos dos que arrancavam a espada.
26 Then all the children of Israel, and all the people, went up and came to Bethel, and wept, and abode there before Jehovah, and fasted that day until even, and offered up burnt-offerings and peace-offerings before Jehovah.
Então todos os filhos de Israel, e todo o povo, subiram, e vieram a bethel, e choraram, e estiveram ali perante o Senhor, e jejuaram aquele dia até à tarde: e ofereceram holocaustos e ofertas pacíficas perante o Senhor.
27 And the children of Israel inquired of Jehovah (and the ark of the covenant of God was there in those days,
E os filhos de Israel perguntaram ao Senhor (porquanto a arca do concerto de Deus estava ali naqueles dias;
28 and Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron, stood before it in those days), saying, Shall I yet again go out to battle against the children of Benjamin my brother, or shall I cease? And Jehovah said, Go up; for to-morrow I will give them into thy hand.
E Phineas, filho de Eleazar, filho de Aarão, estava perante ele naqueles dias), dizendo: Sairei ainda mais a pelejar contra os filhos de Benjamin, meu irmão, ou pararei? E disse o Senhor; Subi, que amanhã eu to entregarei na mão
29 And Israel set liers in wait against Gibeah, round about.
Então Israel pôs emboscadas em redor de Gibeah.
30 And the children of Israel went up against the children of Benjamin on the third day, and put themselves in array against Gibeah, as at the other times.
E subiram os filhos de Israel ao terceiro dia contra os filhos de Benjamin, e ordenaram a peleja junto a Gibeah, como das outras vezes.
31 And the children of Benjamin went out against the people, and were drawn away from the city, and began to smite of the people, slaying as at the former times, in the highways, of which one leads to Bethel and the other to Gibeah in the field, about thirty men of Israel.
Então os filhos de Benjamin sairam ao encontro do povo, e desviaram-se da cidade: e começaram a ferir alguns do povo, atravessando-os, como das outras vezes, pelos caminhos (um dos quais sobe para bethel, e o outro para Gibeah pelo campo), alguns trinta dos homens de Israel.
32 And the children of Benjamin said, They are smitten down before us, as at the first. And the children of Israel said, Let us flee, that we may draw them from the city to the highways.
Então os filhos de Benjamin disseram: Vão derrotados diante de nós como de antes. Porém os filhos de Israel disseram: Fujamos, e desviemo-los da cidade para os caminhos.
33 And all the men of Israel rose up out of their place, and put themselves in array at Baal-Tamar; and the ambush of Israel rushed forth out of their place, out of the meadows of Geba.
Então todos os homens de Israel se levantaram do seu lugar, e ordenaram, a peleja em Baal-tamar: e a emboscada de Israel saiu do seu lugar, da caverna de Gibeah.
34 And there came from opposite Gibeah ten thousand chosen men out of all Israel, and the battle was severe; but they knew not that disaster was coming upon them.
E dez mil homens escolhidos de todo o Israel vieram contra Gibeah, e a peleja se engraveceu: porém eles não sabiam que o mal lhes tocaria.
35 And Jehovah smote Benjamin before Israel; and the children of Israel destroyed of the Benjaminites that day twenty-five thousand one hundred men: all these drew the sword.
Então feriu o Senhor a Benjamin diante de Israel; e desfizeram os filhos de Israel naquele dia vinte e cinco mil e cem homens de Benjamin, todos dos que arrancavam espada.
36 And the children of Benjamin saw that they were smitten. — And the men of Israel gave place to Benjamin, because they trusted to the ambush that they had set against Gibeah.
E viram os filhos de Benjamin que estavam feridos: porque os homens de Israel deram lugar aos benjamitas, porquanto estavam confiados na emboscada que haviam posto contra Gibeah.
37 And the ambush hasted, and fell upon Gibeah; and the ambush drew along, and smote the whole city with the edge of the sword.
E a emboscada se apressou, e acometeu a Gibeah: e a emboscada arremeteu contra ela, e feriu ao fio da espada toda a cidade.
38 Now there was an appointed sign between the men of Israel and the ambush, that they should make a thick column of smoke rise up out of the city.
E os homens de Israel tinham um sinal determinado com a emboscada, que era quando fizessem levantar da cidade uma grande nuvem de fumo.
39 And when the men of Israel turned back in the battle, Benjamin began to smite, slaying of the men of Israel about thirty men; for they said, Surely they are quite routed before us as in the first battle.
Viraram-se pois os homens de Israel na peleja; e já Benjamin começava a ferir, dos homens de Israel, quase trinta homens, atravessando-os, porque diziam: Já infalivelmente estão derrotados diante de nós, como na peleja passada.
40 And when the burning began to rise up out of the city as a pillar of smoke, Benjamin looked behind, and behold, the whole city ascended [in smoke] to the heavens.
Então a nuvem de fumo se começou a levantar da cidade, como uma coluna de fumo: e, virando-se Benjamin a olhar para traz de si, eis que o fumo da cidade subia ao céu.
41 Then the men of Israel turned back, and the men of Benjamin were amazed, for they saw that disaster was come upon them.
E os homens de Israel viraram os rostos, e os homens de Benjamin pasmaram; porque viram que o mal lhes tocaria.
42 And they turned before the men of Israel to the way of the wilderness; but the battle overtook them; and those who came out of the cities destroyed them in their midst.
E viraram as costas diante dos homens de Israel, para o caminho do deserto; porém a peleja os apertou; e os das cidades os desfizeram no meio deles.
43 They encompassed the Benjaminites, chased them, trode them down at the resting-place over against Gibeah toward the sun-rising.
E cercaram a Benjamin, e o seguiram, e descancadamente o pisaram, até diante de Gibeah, para o nascente do sol.
44 And there fell of Benjamin eighteen thousand men: all these, men of valour.
E cairam de Benjamin dezoito mil homens, todos estes sendo homens valentes.
45 And they turned and fled towards the wilderness to the cliff of Rimmon, and they gleaned of them in the highways five thousand men; and pursued hard after them to Gidom, and slew two thousand men of them.
Então viraram as costas, e fugiram para o deserto, à penha de Rimmon; rabiscaram ainda deles pelos caminhos uns cinco mil homens: e de perto os seguiram até Gideon, e feriram deles dois mil homens.
46 So that all who fell that day of Benjamin were twenty-five thousand men that drew the sword: all these, men of valour.
E foram todos os que de Benjamin naquele dia cairam vinte e cinco mil homens que arrancavam a espada, todos eles homens valentes.
47 And six hundred men turned and fled to the wilderness to the cliff of Rimmon, and abode at the cliff of Rimmon four months.
Porém seiscentos homens viraram as costas e fugiram para o deserto, à penha de Rimmon: e ficaram na penha de Rimmon quatro meses.
48 And the men of Israel turned again upon the children of Benjamin, and smote them with the edge of the sword, as well the men of [every] city as the cattle, and all that was found; even all the cities that were found did they set on fire.
E os homens de Israel voltaram para os filhos de Benjamin, e os feriram ao fio da espada, desde os homens da cidade até aos animais, até a tudo quanto se achava, como também a todas as cidades quantas se acharam puseram a fogo.
