< Judges 4 >

1 And the children of Israel again did evil in the sight of the LORD, when Ehud was dead.
Mas os filhos de Israel voltaram a fazer o mal aos olhos do SENHOR, depois da morte de Eúde.
2 And the LORD sold them into the hand of Jabin king of Canaan, that reigned in Hazor; the captain of whose host was Sisera, which dwelt in Harosheth of the Gentiles.
E o SENHOR os vendeu em mão de Jabim rei de Canaã, o qual reinou em Hazor: e o capitão de seu exército se chamava Sísera, e ele habitava em Harosete das nações.
3 And the children of Israel cried unto the LORD: for he had nine hundred chariots of iron; and twenty years he mightily oppressed the children of Israel.
E os filhos de Israel clamaram ao SENHOR, porque aquele tinha novecentos carros de ferro: e havia afligido em grande maneira aos filhos de Israel por vinte anos.
4 And Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lapidoth, she judged Israel at that time.
E governava naquele tempo a Israel uma mulher, Débora, profetisa, mulher de Lapidote:
5 And she dwelt under the palm tree of Deborah between Ramah and Bethel in mount Ephraim: and the children of Israel came up to her for judgment.
A qual se sentava debaixo da palmeira de Débora entre Ramá e Betel, no monte de Efraim: e os filhos de Israel subiam a ela a juízo.
6 And she sent and called Barak the son of Abinoam out of Kedeshnaphtali, and said unto him, Has not the LORD God of Israel commanded, saying, Go and draw toward mount Tabor, and take with you ten thousand men of the children of Naphtali and of the children of Zebulun?
E ela mandou chamar a Baraque filho de Abinoão, de Quedes de Naftali, e disse-lhe: Não te mandou o SENHOR Deus de Israel, dizendo: Vai, e ajunta gente no monte de Tabor, e toma contigo dez mil homens dos filhos de Naftali, e dos filhos de Zebulom:
7 And I will draw unto you to the river Kishon Sisera, the captain of Jabin's army, with his chariots and his multitude; and I will deliver him into your hand.
E eu atrairei a ti ao ribeiro de Quisom a Sísera, capitão do exército de Jabim, com seus carros e seu exército, e o entregarei em tuas mãos?
8 And Barak said unto her, If you will go with me, then I will go: but if you will not go with me, then I will not go.
E Baraque lhe respondeu: Se tu fores comigo, eu irei: mas se não fores comigo, não irei.
9 And she said, I will surely go with you: notwithstanding the journey that you take shall not be for your honour; for the LORD shall sell Sisera into the hand of a woman. And Deborah arose, and went with Barak to Kedesh.
E ela disse: Irei contigo; mas não será tua honra no caminho que vais; porque por mão de mulher venderá o SENHOR a Sísera. E levantando-se Débora foi com Baraque a Quedes.
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.
E juntou Baraque a Zebulom e a Naftali em Quedes, e subiu com dez mil homens a seu mando, e Débora 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 Héber queneu, dos filhos de Hobabe sogro de Moisés, havia se afastado dos queneus, e posto sua tenda até o vale de Zaanim, que está junto a Quedes.
12 And they showed Sisera that Barak the son of Abinoam was gone up to mount Tabor.
Vieram, pois, as notícias a Sísera como Baraque filho de Abinoão havia 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 reuniu Sísera todos os seus carros, novecentos carros de ferro, com todo o povo que com ele estava, desde Harosete das Nações até o ribeiro de Quisom.
14 And Deborah said unto Barak, Up; for this is the day in which the LORD has delivered Sisera into your hand: is not the LORD gone out before you? So Barak went down from mount Tabor, and ten thousand men after him.
Então Débora disse a Baraque: Levanta-te; porque este é o dia em que o SENHOR entregou a Sísera em tuas mãos: Não saiu o SENHOR diante de ti? E Baraque desceu do monte de Tabor, e dez mil homens atrás dele.
15 And the LORD humiliated Sisera, and all his chariots, and all his host, 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 Sísera, e a todos os seus carros e a todo seu exército, a fio de espada diante de Baraque: e Sísera desceu do carro, e fugiu a pé.
16 But Barak pursued after the chariots, and after the host, unto Harosheth of the Gentiles: and all the host of Sisera fell upon the edge of the sword; and there was not a man left.
Mas Baraque seguiu os carros e o exército até Harosete das Nações, e todo aquele exército de Sísera caiu a fio de espada até não restar nenhum.
17 Nevertheless 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.
E Sísera se refugiou a pé à tenda de Jael mulher de Héber queneu; porque havia paz entre Jabim rei de Hazor e a casa de Héber queneu.
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 saindo Jael a receber a Sísera, disse-lhe: Vem, senhor meu, vem a mim, não tenhas medo. E ele veio a ela à tenda, e ela lhe cobriu com uma manta.
19 And he said unto her, Give me, I pray you, a little water to drink; for I am thirsty. And she opened a bottle of milk, and gave him drink, and covered him.
E ele lhe disse: Rogo-te me dês a beber um pouco de água, que tenho sede. E ela abriu um odre de leite e deu-lhe de beber, e voltou-lhe a cobrir.
20 Again he said unto her, Stand in the door of the tent, and it shall be, when any man does come and enquire of you, and say, Is there any man here? that you shall say, No.
E ele lhe disse: Fica-te à porta da tenda, e se alguém vier, e te perguntar, dizendo: Há aqui alguém? Tu responderás que 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 stroke the nail into his temples, and fastened it into the ground: for he was fast asleep and weary. So he died.
E Jael, mulher de Héber, tomou uma estaca da tenda, e pondo uma marreta em sua mão, veio a ele caladamente, e meteu-lhe a estaca pela têmpora, e encravou-o na terra, pois ele estava carregado de sonho e cansado; e assim morreu.
22 And, behold, as Barak pursued Sisera, Jael came out to meet him, and said unto him, Come, and I will show you the man whom you seek. And when he came into her tent, behold, Sisera lay dead, and the nail was in his temples.
E seguindo Baraque a Sísera, Jael saiu a recebê-lo, e disse-lhe: Vem, e te mostrarei ao homem que tu buscas. E ele entrou de onde ela estava, e eis que Sísera jazia morto com a estaca pela têmpora.
23 So God subdued on that day Jabin the king of Canaan before the children of Israel.
Assim abateu Deus aquele dia a Jabim, rei de Canaã, 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 a mão dos filhos de Israel começou a crescer e a fortificar-se contra Jabim rei de Canaã, até que o destruíram.
