Judges 3
1 And these are the nations that Jehovah left, to prove Israel by them, all that had not known all the wars of Canaan;
Estas pois são as nações, que o Senhor deixou ficar, para por ellas provar a Israel, a saber, a todos os que não sabiam de todas as guerras de Canaan,
2 only that the generations of the children of Israel might know war by learning it, at the least those who before had known nothing thereof:
Tão sómente para que as gerações dos filhos d'Israel d'ellas soubessem (para lhes ensinar a guerra), pelo menos os que d'antes não sabiam d'ellas:
3 five lord ships of the Philistines, and all the Canaanites, and the Sidonians, and the Hivites that dwell on mount Lebanon; from mount Baal-Hermon unto the entering into Hamath.
Cinco principes dos philisteos, e todos os cananeos, e sidonios, e heveos, que habitavam nas montanhas do Libano, desde o monte de Baal-hermon, até á entrada d'Hamath.
4 And they were to prove Israel by them, to know whether they would obey the commandments of Jehovah, which he commanded their fathers by the hand of Moses.
Estes pois ficaram, para por elles provar a Israel, para saber se dariam ouvidos aos mandamentos do Senhor, que tinha ordenado a seus paes, pelo ministerio de Moysés.
5 And the children of Israel dwelt among the Canaanites: Hittites and Amorites and Perizzites and Hivites and Jebusites;
Habitando pois os filhos de Israel no meio dos cananeos, dos hetheos, e amorrheos, e pherezeos, e heveos, e jebuseos,
6 and they took their daughters as wives, and gave their daughters to their sons, and served their gods.
Tomaram de suas filhas para si por mulheres, e deram aos filhos d'elles as suas filhas; e serviram a seus deuses.
7 And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of Jehovah, and forgot Jehovah their God, and served the Baals and the Asherahs.
E os filhos de Israel fizeram o que parecia mal aos olhos do Senhor, e se esqueceram do Senhor seu Deus: e serviram aos baalins e a Astaroth.
8 And the anger of Jehovah was hot against Israel, and he sold them into the hand of Chushan-rishathaim king of Mesopotamia; and the children of Israel served Chushan-rishathaim eight years.
Então a ira do Senhor se accendeu contra Israel, e elle os vendeu em mão de Cusan-risathaim, rei de Mesopotamia: e os filhos d'Israel serviram a Cusan-risathaim oito annos.
9 And the children of Israel cried to Jehovah; and Jehovah raised up a saviour to the children of Israel, who saved them, Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother.
E os filhos d'Israel clamaram ao Senhor, e o Senhor levantou aos filhos d'Israel um libertador, e os libertou, a Othniel, filho de Kenaz, irmão de Caleb, mais novo do que elle.
10 And the Spirit of Jehovah was upon him, and he judged Israel; and he went out to war, and Jehovah gave Chushan-rishathaim king of Syria into his hand; and his hand prevailed against Chushan-rishathaim.
E veiu sobre elle o Espirito do Senhor, e julgou a Israel, e saiu á peleja; e o Senhor deu na sua mão a Cusan-risathaim, rei da Syria; e a sua mão prevaleceu contra Cusan-risathaim.
11 And the land had rest forty years; and Othniel the son of Kenaz died.
Então a terra socegou quarenta annos; e Othniel, filho de Kenaz, falleceu.
12 And the children of Israel again did evil in the sight of Jehovah; and Jehovah strengthened Eglon the king of Moab against Israel, because they did evil in the sight of Jehovah.
Porém os filhos d'Israel tornaram a fazer o que parecia mal aos olhos do Senhor: então o Senhor esforçou a Eglon, rei dos moabitas, contra Israel: porquanto fizeram o que parecia mal aos olhos do Senhor.
13 And he gathered to him the children of Ammon and Amalek and went and smote Israel, and they took possession of the city of palm-trees.
E ajuntou comsigo aos filhos d'Ammon e aos amalekitas, e foi, e feriu a Israel, e tomaram a cidade das palmeiras.
14 And the children of Israel served Eglon the king of Moab eighteen years.
E os filhos d'Israel serviram a Eglon, rei dos moabitas, dezoito annos.
15 And the children of Israel cried to Jehovah, and Jehovah raised them up a saviour, Ehud the son of Gera, the Benjaminite, a man left-handed. And by him the children of Israel sent a gift to Eglon king of Moab.
Então os filhos d'Israel clamaram ao Senhor, e o Senhor lhes levantou um libertador, a Ehud, filho de Gera, filho de Jemini, homem canhoto. E os filhos d'Israel enviaram pela sua mão um presente a Eglon, rei dos moabitas.
16 And Ehud made him a sword having two edges, it was of a cubit length; and he girded it under his raiment upon his right hip.
E Ehud fez uma espada de dois fios, do comprimento de um covado: e cingiu-a por debaixo dos seus vestidos, á sua côxa direita.
17 And he brought the gift to Eglon king of Moab; now Eglon was a very fat man.
E levou aquelle presente a Eglon, rei dos moabitas; e era Eglon homem mui gordo.
18 And it came to pass when he had ended offering the gift, he sent away the people that had borne the gift.
E succedeu que, acabando de entregar o presente, despediu a gente que trouxera o presente.
19 But he turned from the graven images that were by Gilgal, and said, I have a secret word unto thee, O king. And he said, Be silent! And all that stood by him went out from him.
Porém voltou das imagens de esculptura que estão ao pé de Gilgal, e disse: Tenho uma palavra secreta para ti, ó rei. O qual disse: Cala-te. E todos os que lhe assistiam sairam de diante d'elle.
20 And Ehud came to him; now he was sitting in the cool upper-chamber, which was for him alone. And Ehud said, I have a word from God unto thee. And he arose from the seat.
E Ehud entrou a elle, a um cenaculo fresco, que para si só tinha, onde estava assentado, e disse Ehud: Tenho para ti uma palavra de Deus. E levantou-se da cadeira.
21 Then Ehud put forth his left hand, and took the sword from his right hip, and thrust it into his belly;
Então Ehud estendeu a sua mão esquerda, e lançou mão da espada da sua côxa direita, e lh'a cravou no ventre,
22 and the haft also went in after the blade, and the fat closed upon the blade; for he did not draw the sword out of his belly, and it came out between the legs.
De tal maneira que entrou até á empunhadura após da folha, e a gordura encerrou a folha (porque não tirou a espada do ventre): e saiu-se-lhe o excremento.
23 And Ehud went out into the portico, and shut the doors of the upper-chamber upon him, and bolted them.
Então Ehud saiu á sala, e cerrou sobre elle as portas do cenaculo, e as fechou.
24 And when he was gone out, the servants of the [king] came and saw, and behold, the doors of the upper-chamber were bolted. And they said, Surely he is covering his feet in the summer chamber.
E, saindo elle, vieram os seus servos, e viram, e eis que as portas do cenaculo estavam fechadas; e disseram: Sem duvida está cobrindo seus pés na recamara do cenaculo fresco.
25 And they waited till they were ashamed; and behold, he opened not the doors of the upper-chamber, and they took the key, and opened [them], and behold, their lord lay dead on the earth.
E, esperando até se enfastiarem, eis que não abria as portas do cenaculo; então tomaram a chave, e abriram, e eis aqui seu senhor estendido morto em terra.
26 And Ehud had escaped while they lingered, and passed beyond the graven images, and escaped to Seirah.
E Ehud escapou, emquanto elles se demoraram: porque elle passou pelas imagens de esculptura, e escapou para Seirath.
27 And it came to pass when he was come, that he blew a trumpet in the hill-country of Ephraim, and the children of Israel went down with him from the hill-country, and he before them.
E succedeu que, entrando elle, tocou a buzina nas montanhas de Ephraim: e os filhos de Israel desceram com elle das montanhas, e elle adiante d'elles,
28 And he said to them, Follow after me, for Jehovah has delivered your enemies the Moabites into your hand. And they went down after him, and took the fords of the Jordan toward Moab, and suffered no one to pass over.
E disse-lhes: Segui-me: porque o Senhor vos tem dado a vossos inimigos, os moabitas, na vossa mão: e desceram após d'elle, e tomaram os váos do Jordão a Moab, e a nenhum deixaram passar.
29 And they slew the Moabites at that time, about ten thousand men, all fat, and all men of valour, and not a man escaped.
E n'aquelle tempo feriram dos moabitas uns dez mil homens, todos corpulentos, e todos homens valorosos: e não escapou nenhum.
30 And Moab was subdued that day under the hand of Israel. And the land had rest eighty years.
Assim foi subjugado Moab n'aquelle dia debaixo da mão de Israel: e a terra socegou oitenta annos.
31 And after him was Shamgar the son of Anath; and he smote the Philistines, six hundred men, with an ox-goad. And he also delivered Israel.
Depois d'elle foi Samgar, filho d'Anath, que feriu a seiscentos homens dos philisteos com uma aguilhada de bois: e tambem elle libertou a Israel.
