< Judges 4 >
1 And the children of Israel continued to do evil against the Lord; and Aod was dead.
Porém os filhos de Israel tornaram a fazer o que parecia mal aos olhos do Senhor, depois de falecer Ehud.
2 And the Lord sold the children of Israel into the hand of Jabin king of Chanaan, who ruled in Asor; and the chief of his host was Sisara, and he lived in Arisoth 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 to the Lord, because he had nine hundred chariots of iron; and he mightily oppressed Israel twenty years.
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 Debbora, 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 sat under the palm tree of Debbora between Rama and Baethel in mount Ephraim; and the children of Israel went 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 Debbora sent and called Barac the son of Abineem out of Cades Nephthali, and she said to him, Has not the Lord God of Israel commanded you? and you shall depart to mount Thabor, and shall take with yourself ten thousand men of the sons of Nephthali and of the sons of Zabulon.
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 bring to you to the torrent of Kison Sisara the captain of the host of Jabin, and his chariots, and his multitude, and I will deliver them into your hands.
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 Barac said to her, If you will go with me, I will go; and if you will not go, I will not go; for I know not the day on which the Lord prospers his messenger with me.
Então lhe disse Barac: Se fores comigo, irei: porém, se não fores comigo, não irei.
9 And she said, I will surely go with you; but know that your honor shall not attend on the expedition on which you go, for the Lord shall sell Sisara into the hands of a women: and Debbora arose, and went with Barac out of Cades.
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 Barac called Zabulon and Nephthali out of Cades, and there went up at his feet ten thousand men, and Debbora 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 And Chaber the Kenite had removed from Caina, from the sons of Jobab the father-in-law of Moses, and pitched his tent by the oak of the covetous ones, which is near Kedes.
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 it was told Sisara that Barac the son of Abineem was gone up to mount Thabor.
E anunciaram a Sisera que Barac, filho de Abinoam, tinha subido ao monte de Tabor.
13 And Sisara summoned all his chariots, nine hundred chariots of iron and all the people with him, from Arisoth of the Gentiles to the brook of Kison.
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 Debbora said to Barac, Rise up, for this [is] the day on which the Lord has delivered Sisara into your hand, for the Lord shall go forth before you: and Barac went down from mount Thabor, 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 the Lord discomfited Sisara, and all his chariots, and all his army, with the edge of the sword before Barac: and Sisara descended from off his chariot, and fled 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 And Barac pursued after the chariots and after the army, into Arisoth of the Gentiles; and the whole army of Sisara fell by the edge of the sword, there was not one 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 And Sisara fled on his feet to the tent of Jael the wife of Chaber the Kenite his friend: for there was peace between Jabin king of Asor and the house of Chaber 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 Sisara, and said to him, Turn aside, my lord, turn aside to me, fear not: and he turned aside to her into the tent; and 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 Sisara said to 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 to 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 And Sisara said to her, Stand now by the door of the tent, and it shall come to pass if any man come to you, and ask of you, and say, Is there [any] man here? then you shall say, There is not.
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 And Jael the wife of Chaber took a pin of the tent, and took a hammer in her hand, and went secretly to him, and fastened the pin in his temple, and it went through to the earth, and he fainted away, and darkness fell upon him and 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, Barac [was] pursuing Sisara: and Jael went out to meet him, and he said to him, Come, and I will show you the man whom you seek: and he went in to her; and, behold, Sisara was fallen dead, and the pin [was] in his temple.
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 routed Jabin king of Chanaan in that day 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 prevailed more and more against Jabin king of Chanaan, until they utterly destroyed Jabin king of Chanaan.
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.
