< Judges 4 >

1 And the children of Israel again did evil in the sight of Yhwh, when Ehud was dead.
Porém os filhos de Israel tornaram a fazer o que parecia mal aos olhos do Senhor, depois de falecer Ehud.
2 And Yhwh sold them into the hand of Jabin king of Canaan, that reigned in Hazor; the captain of whose army was Sisera, which dwelt in Harosheth of the Gentiles.
E vendeu-os o Senhor em mão de Jabin, rei de Canaan, que reinava em Hazor: e Sisera era o capitão do seu exército, o qual então habitava em Haroseth dos gentios.
3 And the children of Israel cried unto Yhwh: for he had nine hundred chariots of iron; and twenty years he mightily oppressed the children of Israel.
Então os filhos de Israel clamaram ao Senhor, porquanto ele tinha novecentos carros ferrados, e vinte anos oprimia os filhos de Israel violentamente.
4 And Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lapidoth, she judged Israel at that time.
E deborah, mulher profetiza, mulher de Lappidoth, julgava a Israel naquele tempo.
5 And she dwelt under the palm tree of Deborah between Ramah and Beth–el in mount Ephraim: and the children of Israel came up to her for judgment.
E habitava debaixo das palmeiras de deborah, entre Rama e bethel, nas montanhas de Ephraim: e os filhos de Israel subiam a ela a juízo.
6 And she sent and called Barak the son of Abinoam out of Kedesh–naphtali, and said unto him, Hath not Yhwh God of Israel commanded, saying, Go and draw toward mount Tabor, and take with thee ten thousand men of the children of Naphtali and of the children of Zebulun?
E enviou, e chamou a Barac, filho de Abinoam de Kedes de Naphtali, e disse-lhe: Porventura o Senhor Deus de Israel não deu ordem, dizendo: vai, e attrahe gente ao monte de Tabor, e toma contigo dez mil homens dos filhos de Naphtali e dos filhos de Zebulon?
7 And I will draw unto thee to the river Kishon Sisera, the captain of Jabin’s army, with his chariots and his multitude; and I will deliver him into thine hand.
E atrairei a ti para o ribeiro de Kison a Sisera, capitão do exército de Jabin, com os seus carros, e com a sua multidão: e o darei na tua mão.
8 And Barak said unto her, If thou wilt go with me, then I will go: but if thou wilt not go with me, then I will not go.
Então lhe disse Barac: Se fores comigo, irei: porém, se não fores comigo, não irei.
9 And she said, I will surely go with thee: notwithstanding the journey that thou takest shall not be for thine honour; for Yhwh shall sell Sisera into the hand of a woman. And Deborah arose, and went with Barak to Kedesh.
E disse ela: Certamente irei contigo, porém não será tua a honra pelo caminho que levas; pois à mão de uma mulher o Senhor venderá a Sisera. E deborah se levantou, e partiu com Barac para Kedes
10 And Barak called Zebulun and Naphtali to Kedesh; and he went up with ten thousand men at his feet: and Deborah went up with him.
Então Barac convocou a Zebulon e a Naphtali em Kedes, e subiu com dez mil homens após de si: e deborah subiu com ele,
11 Now Heber the Kenite, which was of the children of Hobab the father in law of Moses, had severed himself from the Kenites, and pitched his tent unto the plain of Zaanaim, which is by Kedesh.
E Eber, keneu, se tinha apartado dos keneos, dos filhos de Hobab, sogro de Moisés: e tinha estendido as suas tendas até ao carvalho de Saanaim, que está junto a Kedes.
12 And they shewed Sisera that Barak the son of Abinoam was gone up to mount Tabor.
E anunciaram a Sisera que Barac, filho de Abinoam, tinha subido ao monte de Tabor.
13 And Sisera gathered together all his chariots, even nine hundred chariots of iron, and all the people that were with him, from Harosheth of the Gentiles unto the river of Kishon.
E Sisera convocou todos os seus carros, novecentos carros ferrados, e todo o povo que estava com ele, desde Haroseth dos gentios até ao ribeiro de Kison.
14 And Deborah said unto Barak, Up; for this is the day in which Yhwh hath delivered Sisera into thine hand: is not Yhwh gone out before thee? So Barak went down from mount Tabor, and ten thousand men after him.
Então disse deborah a Barac: Levanta-te; porque este é o dia em que o Senhor tem dado a Sisera na tua mão: porventura o Senhor não saiu diante de ti? Barac pois desceu do monte de Tabor, e dez mil homens após dele.
15 And Yhwh discomfited Sisera, and all his chariots, and all his army, with the edge of the sword before Barak; so that Sisera lighted down off his chariot, and fled away on his feet.
E o Senhor derrotou a Sisera, e a todos os seus carros, e a todo o seu exército ao fio da espada, diante de Barac: e Sisera desceu do carro, e fugiu a pé.
16 But Barak pursued after the chariots, and after the army, unto Harosheth of the Gentiles: and all the army of Sisera fell upon the edge of the sword; and there was not a man left.
E Barac os seguiu após dos carros, e após do exército, até Haroseth dos gentios: e todo o exército de Sisera caiu ao fio da espada, até não ficar um só.
17 Howbeit Sisera fled away on his feet to 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.
Porém Sisera fugiu a pé à tenda de Jael, mulher de Eber, keneu: porquanto havia paz entre Jabin, rei de Hazor, e a casa de Eber, keneu.
18 And Jael went out to meet Sisera, and said unto him, Turn in, my lord, turn in to me; fear not. And when he had turned in unto her into the tent, she covered him with a mantle.
E Jael saiu ao encontro de Sisera, e disse-lhe: Retira-te, senhor meu, retira-te a mim, não temas. Retirou-se a ela à tenda, e cobriu-o com uma coberta.
19 And he said unto her, Give me, I pray thee, a little water to drink; for I am thirsty. And she opened a bottle of milk, and gave him drink, and covered him.
Então ele lhe disse: Dá-me, peço-te, de beber uma pouca d'água; porque tenho sede. Então ela abriu um odre de leite, e deu-lhe de beber, e o cobriu.
20 Again he said unto her, Stand in the door of the tent, and it shall be, when any man doth come and enquire of thee, and say, Is there any man here? that thou shalt say, No.
E ele lhe disse: Põe-te à porta da tenda; e há de ser que se alguém vier, e te perguntar, e disser: há aqui alguém? responde tu então: Não.
21 Then Jael Heber’s wife took a nail of the tent, and took an hammer in her hand, and went softly unto him, and smote the nail into his temples, and fastened it into the ground: for he was fast asleep and weary. So he died.
Então Jael, mulher de heber, tomou uma estaca da tenda, e lançou mão dum martelo, e foi-se mansamente a ele, e lhe cravou a estaca na fonte, e a pregou na terra, estando ele porém carregado dum profundo sono, e já cançado; e assim morreu.
22 And, behold, as Barak pursued Sisera, Jael came out to meet him, and said unto him, Come, and I will shew thee the man whom thou seekest. And when he came into her tent, behold, Sisera lay dead, and the nail was in his temples.
E eis que, seguindo Barac a Sisera, Jael lhe saiu ao encontro, e disse-lhe: Vem, e mostrar-te-ei o homem que buscas. E veio a ela, e eis que Sisera jazia morto, e a estaca na fonte.
23 So God subdued on that day Jabin the king of Canaan before the children of Israel.
Assim Deus naquele dia sujeitou a Jabin, rei de Canaan, diante dos filhos de Israel.
24 And the hand of the children of Israel prospered, and prevailed against Jabin the king of Canaan, until they had destroyed Jabin king of Canaan.
E continuou a mão dos filhos de Israel a proseguir e endurecer-se sobre Jabin, rei de Canaan: até que exterminaram a Jabin, rei de Canaan.
