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 para provar com elas a Israel, a todos aqueles que não haviam conhecido todas as guerras de Canaã;
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:
Somente para que a linhagem dos filhos de Israel conhecesse, para ensiná-los na guerra, pelo menos aos que antes não a conheciam:
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 príncipes dos filisteus, e todos os cananeus, e os sidônios, e os heveus que habitavam no monte Líbano: desde o monte de Baal-Hermom até chegar a Hamate.
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, foram para provar por eles a Israel, para saber se obedeceriam aos mandamentos do SENHOR, que ele havia prescrito a seus pais por meio de Moisés.
5 And the children of Israel dwelt among the Canaanites: Hittites and Amorites and Perizzites and Hivites and Jebusites;
Assim os filhos de Israel habitavam entre os cananeus, heteus, amorreus, perizeus, heveus, e jebuseus:
6 and they took their daughters as wives, and gave their daughters to their sons, and served their gods.
E tomaram de suas filhas por mulheres, e deram suas filhas aos filhos deles, 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.
Fizeram, pois, os filhos de Israel o mal aos olhos do SENHOR: e esquecidos do SENHOR seu Deus, serviram aos baalins, e aos ídolos dos bosques.
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.
E a ira do SENHOR se acendeu contra Israel, e vendeu-os em mãos de Cusã-Risataim rei da Mesopotâmia; e serviram os filhos de Israel a Cusã-Risataim oito anos.
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 clamaram os filhos de Israel ao SENHOR; e o SENHOR suscitou salvador aos filhos de Israel e livrou-os; é, a saber, a Otniel filho de Quenaz, irmão menor de Calebe.
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 o espírito do SENHOR foi sobre ele, e julgou a Israel, e saiu à batalha, e o SENHOR entregou em sua mão a Cusã-Risataim, rei da Síria, e prevaleceu sua mão contra Cusã-Risataim.
11 And the land had rest forty years; and Othniel the son of Kenaz died.
E repousou a terra quarenta anos; e morreu Otniel, filho de Quenaz.
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.
E voltaram os filhos de Israel a fazer o mal ante os olhos do SENHOR; e o SENHOR esforçou a Eglom rei de Moabe contra Israel, porquanto fizeram o mal ante os 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 Juntou consigo aos filhos de Amom e de Amaleque, e foi, e feriu a Israel, e tomou a cidade das palmeiras.
14 And the children of Israel served Eglon the king of Moab eighteen years.
E serviram os filhos de Israel a Eglom rei dos moabitas dezoito anos.
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.
E clamaram os filhos de Israel ao SENHOR; e o SENHOR lhes suscitou salvador, a Eúde, filho de Gera, benjamita, o qual era canhoto. E os filhos de Israel enviaram com ele um presente a Eglom rei de Moabe.
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 Eúde se havia feito um punhal de dois fios, de um côvado de comprimento; e cingiu-se com ele debaixo de suas roupas à seu lado direito.
17 And he brought the gift to Eglon king of Moab; now Eglon was a very fat man.
E apresentou o presente a Eglom rei de Moabe; e era Eglom homem muito 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 logo que apresentou o presente, despediu à gente que o havia trazido.
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.
Mas ele se virou desde os ídolos que estão em Gilgal, e disse: Rei, uma palavra secreta tenho que dizer-te. Ele então disse: Cala. E sairam-se de com ele todos os que diante dele estavam.
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 chegou-se Eúde a ele, o qual estava sentado sozinho em uma sala de verão. E Eúde disse: Tenho palavra de Deus para ti. Ele então se levantou da cadeira.
21 Then Ehud put forth his left hand, and took the sword from his right hip, and thrust it into his belly;
Mas Eúde meteu sua mão esquerda, e tomou o punhal de seu lado direito, e meteu-o pelo 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 a empunhadura entrou também atrás a lâmina, e a gordura encerrou a lâmina, que ele não tirou o punhal de seu ventre: e saiu dele fezes.
23 And Ehud went out into the portico, and shut the doors of the upper-chamber upon him, and bolted them.
E saindo Eúde ao pátio, fechou atrás si as portas da sala.
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 saído ele, vieram seus servos, os quais vendo as portas da sala fechadas, disseram: Sem dúvida ele está fazendo suas necessidades na sala de verão.
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 havendo esperado até estar confusos, pois que ele não abria as portas da sala, tomaram a chave e abriram: e eis que seu senhor caído em terra morto.
26 And Ehud had escaped while they lingered, and passed beyond the graven images, and escaped to Seirah.
Mas enquanto que eles se demoravam, Eúde se escapou, e passando os ídolos, salvou-se em Seirá.
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 quando entrou, tocou a trombeta no monte de Efraim, e os filhos de Israel desceram com ele do monte, e ele ia adiante deles.
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.
Então ele lhes disse: Segui-me, porque o SENHOR entregou vossos inimigos os moabitas em vossas mãos. E desceram atrás dele, e tomaram os vaus do Jordão a Moabe, e não deixaram passar a ninguém.
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 naquele tempo feriram dos moabitas como dez mil homens, todos valentes e todos homens de guerra; não escapou homem.
30 And Moab was subdued that day under the hand of Israel. And the land had rest eighty years.
Assim restou Moabe subjugado aquele dia sob a mão de Israel: e repousou a terra oitenta anos.
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 deste foi Sangar filho de Anate, o qual feriu seiscentos homens dos filisteus com uma aguilhada de bois; e ele também salvou a Israel.
