Judges 2
1 The angel of the LORD came up from Gilgal to Bochim. He said, "I made you to go up out of Egypt, and have brought you to the land which I swore to your fathers; and I said, 'I will never break my covenant with you:
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 and you shall make no covenant with the inhabitants of this land; you shall break down their altars.' But you have not listened to my voice: why have you done this?
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 Therefore I also said, I will not drive them out from before you, but they will become your adversaries, and their gods shall be a snare to 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 It happened, when the angel of the LORD spoke these words to 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 They called the name of that place Bochim: and they sacrificed there to the LORD.
Chamaram o nome daquele lugar de Bochim, e ali sacrificaram a Iavé.
6 Now when Joshua had sent the people away, the children of Israel went every man to his inheritance to possess 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 The people served the LORD all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders who outlived Joshua, who had seen all the great work of the LORD that he had worked 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 Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of the LORD, died, being one hundred ten years old.
Josué, filho de Nun, o servo de Iavé, morreu, tendo cem e dez anos de idade.
9 They buried him in the territory of his inheritance in Timnath Serah, in the hill country of Ephraim, on the north of the mountain of Gaash.
They enterrou-o na fronteira de sua herança em Timnath Heres, na região montanhosa de Efraim, no norte da montanha de Gaash.
10 And all that generation were also gathered to their fathers. And there arose another generation after them who did not know the LORD, nor the works 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 The children of Israel did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, and served the Baals;
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 brought them out of the land of Egypt, and followed other gods, of the gods of the peoples who were around them, and bowed themselves down to them: and they provoked the LORD to anger.
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 They forsook the LORD, and served Baal and the Ashtaroth.
Eles abandonaram Yahweh, e serviram Baal e os Ashtaroth.
14 The anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel, and he delivered them into the hands of marauders who plundered them; and he sold them into the hands of their enemies all around, so that they could not any longer 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 Wherever they went out, the hand of the LORD was against them for harm, as the LORD had spoken, and as the LORD had sworn to them: and they were in great distress.
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 The LORD raised up judges, who saved them out of the hand of those who plundered them.
Yahweh levantou juízes, que os salvaram da mão daqueles que os saquearam.
17 Yet they did not listen to their judges; for they played the prostitute after other gods, and bowed themselves down to them: they turned aside quickly out of the way in which their fathers walked, obeying the commandments of the LORD; but they did not do 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 When the LORD raised up judges for them, then the LORD was with the judge, and saved them out of the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge: for it grieved the LORD because of their groaning by reason of those who oppressed them and troubled 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 But it happened, when the judge was dead, that they turned back, and dealt more corruptly than their fathers, in following other gods to serve them, and to bow down to them; they did not cease from their practices, and they did not turn aside from their stubborn ways.
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 The anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel; and he said, "Because this nation has transgressed my covenant which I commanded their fathers, and have not obeyed 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 I will no longer drive out before them any of the nations that Joshua left when he died;
eu também não expulsarei mais nenhuma das nações que Josué deixou quando morreu antes deles;
22 that by them I may test Israel, whether they will keep the way of the LORD to walk in it, as their fathers kept 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 So the LORD left those nations, without driving them out hastily; neither delivered he them into the hand of Joshua.
Portanto, Javé deixou essas nações, sem expulsá-las apressadamente. Ele não os entregou nas mãos de Josué.
