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 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 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 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 had gone up to Mizpah. And the children of Israel said, Tell [us], how was this wickedness?
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 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 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 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 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 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 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 ye, children of Israel, deliberate and give here [your] counsel.
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, We will not any one go to his tent, neither will we any one turn into 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 But now this is the thing which we will do to Gibeah: [we go] by lot against it;
Até que façamos isto sobre Gibeá: que lancemos sortes contra ela;
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 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 against the city, knit together 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 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 Benjamim, dizendo: Que maldade é esta que foi feita 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.
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 gathered themselves together out of the cities of Gibeah, to go out to battle against 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 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 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 Among all this people there were seven hundred chosen men left-handed; all these slang stones at a hair [breadth], and missed not.
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, besides 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 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.
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 Gibeah.
Levantando-se, pois, de manhã os filhos de Israel, puseram acampamento contra Gibeá.
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 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 children of Benjamin went forth out of Gibeah, and destroyed to the ground of the Israelites that day twenty-two thousand men.
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 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.
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 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.
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 came near against the children of Benjamin the second day.
Então os filhos de Israel se aproximaram no dia seguinte contra os filhos de Benjamim.
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.
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 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 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 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, (porque a arca do pacto 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 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 Israel set liers in wait against Gibeah, round about.
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 put themselves in array against Gibeah, as at the other times.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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, 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 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 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 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.
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 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 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 the ambush hasted, and fell upon Gibeah; and the ambush drew along, and smote the whole city with the edge of the sword.
Então as emboscadas atacaram prontamente Gibeá, e se estenderam, e passaram à 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.
Já os israelitas estavam combinados com as emboscadas, que fizessem muito fogo, para que subisse grande fumaça da cidade.
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.
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 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.
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 Then the men of Israel turned back, and the men of Benjamin were amazed, for they saw that disaster was 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 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.
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 They encompassed the Benjaminites, chased them, trode them down at the resting-place over against Gibeah toward the sun-rising.
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, men of valour.
E caíram de Benjamim dezoito mil homens, todos eles homens de guerra.
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.
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 So that all who fell that day of Benjamin were twenty-five thousand men that drew the sword: all these, men of valour.
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 six hundred men turned and fled to the wilderness to the cliff of Rimmon, and abode at the cliff of Rimmon four months.
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 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 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.
