Judges 2
1 And a messenger of the Lord came up from Gilgal to Bochim, And he said, I caused you to go up out of Egypt, and I brought you unto the land which I had sworn unto your fathers; and I said, I will not break my covenant with you for ever.
O anjo de Yahweh veio de Gilgal para Bochim. Ele disse: “Eu te tirei do Egito, e te trouxe para a terra que jurei dar a teus pais”. Eu disse: “Eu nunca quebrarei meu pacto com vocês”.
2 But ye for your part shall make no covenant with the inhabitants of this land; their altars shall ye throw down; but ye have not obeyed my voice: what is this ye have done?
Você não fará nenhum pacto com os habitantes desta terra”. Quebrareis os altares deles”. Mas vocês não escutaram minha voz. Por que você fez isso?
3 And I also have said, I will not drive them out from before you; but they shall be evil neighbors to you, and their gods shall become a snare unto you.
Por isso eu também disse: 'Não os expulsarei de diante de vós; mas eles estarão ao vosso lado, e os deuses deles serão um laço para vós'”.
4 And it came to pass, when the messenger of the Lord spoke these words unto all the children of Israel, that the people lifted up their voice, and wept.
Quando o anjo de Javé dirigiu estas palavras a todas as crianças de Israel, o povo levantou sua voz e chorou.
5 And they called the name of that place, Bochim; and they sacrificed there unto the Lord.
Chamaram o nome daquele lugar de Bochim, e ali sacrificaram a Iavé.
6 And when Joshua had let the people go, the children of Israel went every man unto his inheritance to take possession of the land.
Now quando Josué havia mandado o povo embora, os filhos de Israel foram cada um para sua herança para possuir a terra.
7 And the people served the Lord all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders that lived many days after Joshua, who had seen all the great deeds of the Lord, which he had done for Israel.
O povo serviu a Javé todos os dias de Josué, e todos os dias dos anciãos que sobreviveram a Josué, que tinha visto toda a grande obra de Javé que ele tinha trabalhado para Israel.
8 Then died Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of the Lord, being one hundred and ten years old.
Josué, filho de Nun, o servo de Iavé, morreu, tendo cem e dez anos de idade.
9 And they buried him on the border of his inheritance in Timnath-cheres, in the mountain of Ephraim, on the north side of mount Ga'ash.
They enterrou-o na fronteira de sua herança em Timnath Heres, na região montanhosa de Efraim, no norte da montanha de Gaash.
10 And also all that generation were gathered unto their fathers; and there arose another generation after them, who knew not the Lord, and likewise not the deeds which he had done for Israel.
Depois de toda aquela geração ter sido reunida a seus pais, outra geração surgiu depois deles que não conheciam Yahweh, nem o trabalho que ele havia feito por Israel.
11 And the children of Israel did the evil in the eyes of the Lord, and served the Be'alim:
Os filhos de Israel fizeram o que era mau aos olhos de Iavé, e serviram aos Baal.
12 And they forsook the Lord the God of their fathers, who had brought them out of the land of Egypt, and they went after other gods, of the gods of the nations that were round about them, and they bowed themselves unto them, and incensed the Lord.
Eles abandonaram Iavé, o Deus de seus pais, que os tirou da terra do Egito, e seguiram outros deuses, dos deuses dos povos que os rodeavam, e se curvaram diante deles; e provocaram Iavé à raiva.
13 And they forsook the Lord, and served Baal and 'Ashtaroth.
Eles abandonaram Yahweh, e serviram Baal e os Ashtaroth.
14 And the anger of the Lord was kindled against Israel, and he delivered them into the hand of spoilers who spoiled them, and he sold them into the hand of their enemies round about, and they were not able any longer to stand before their enemies.
A raiva de Iavé queimou contra Israel, e ele os entregou nas mãos de saqueadores que os saquearam. Ele os vendeu nas mãos de seus inimigos ao redor, para que eles não pudessem mais ficar de pé diante de seus inimigos.
15 Whithersoever they went out, the hand of the Lord was against them for evil, as the Lord had spoken, and as the Lord had sworn unto them: and they were greatly distressed.
Onde quer que saíssem, a mão de Javé estava contra eles pelo mal, como Javé havia falado, e como Javé havia jurado a eles; e eles estavam muito angustiados.
16 And the Lord raised up judges, and they delivered them out of the hand of those that spoiled them.
Yahweh levantou juízes, que os salvaram da mão daqueles que os saquearam.
17 But also unto their judges they did not hearken; but they went astray after other gods, and bowed themselves unto them: they turned quickly out of the way which their fathers had walked in, to obey the commandments of the Lord; they did not so.
No entanto, eles não ouviram seus juízes; pois se prostituíram com outros deuses e se curvaram diante deles. Eles rapidamente se afastaram da maneira como seus pais caminhavam, obedecendo aos mandamentos de Javé. Eles não o fizeram.
18 And when the Lord raised them up judges, then was the Lord with the judge, and he delivered them out of the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge; for the Lord bethought himself because of their groaning by reason of those that oppressed them and ill-treated them.
Quando Javé levantou juízes para eles, então Javé estava com o juiz, e os salvou da mão de seus inimigos todos os dias do juiz; pois isso afligia Javé por causa de seus gemidos por causa daqueles que os oprimiam e os perturbavam.
19 And it came to pass, when the judge died, that they returned, and became more corrupt than their fathers, in going after other gods to serve them, and to bow down unto them: they omitted nothing from their doings, and from their stubborn way.
Mas quando o juiz estava morto, eles voltaram atrás, e trataram de forma mais corrupta que seus pais, seguindo outros deuses para servi-los e curvar-se diante deles. Eles não cessaram o que estavam fazendo, nem desistiram de seus modos teimosos.
20 And the anger of the Lord was kindled against Israel; and he said, For the cause that this people have transgressed my covenant which I commanded their fathers, and have not hearkened unto my voice:
A raiva de Javé ardia contra Israel; e ele disse: “Porque esta nação transgrediu meu pacto que eu ordenei a seus pais, e não ouviu minha voz,
21 So will I also for my part not drive out henceforth any man from before them out of the nations which Joshua left when he died;
eu também não expulsarei mais nenhuma das nações que Josué deixou quando morreu antes deles;
22 In order to prove through them the Israelites, whether they will keep the way of the Lord, to walk therein, as their fathers did keep it, or not.
que por eles eu possa testar Israel, para ver se eles manterão o caminho de Javé, como seus pais o mantiveram, ou não”.
23 And thus did the Lord leave these nations, so as not to drive them out speedily; and he delivered them not into the hand of Joshua.
Portanto, Javé deixou essas nações, sem expulsá-las apressadamente. Ele não os entregou nas mãos de Josué.
