Judges 10

1 After Abimelech died, Tola the son of Puah and grandson of Dodo became the leader to rescue the Israeli people [from their enemies]. He belonged to the tribe of Issachar, but he lived in Shamir [city] in the hilly area where the descendants of Ephraim live.

E depois de Abimelech, se levantou, para livrar a Israel, Tola, filho de Puah, filho de Dodo, homem de Issacar: e habitava em Samir, na montanha de Ephraim.

2 He ruled the Israeli people for 23 years. Then he died and was buried in Shamir.

E julgou a Israel vinte e três anos: e morreu, e foi sepultado em Samir.

3 After Tola died, Jair, from [the] Gilead [region], became the Israelis’ leader, and he ruled them for 22 years.

E depois dele se levantou Jair, gileadita, e julgou a Israel vinte e dois anos.

4 He had thirty sons, and each of them had his own donkey to ride on. They each controlled a different town in [the] Gilead [region]. That region is still named ‘The Towns of Jair’.

E tinha este trinta filhos, que cavalgavam sobre trinta jumentos; e tinham trinta cidades, a que chamaram Havoth-jair, até ao dia de hoje; as quais estão na terra de Gilead.

5 When Jair died, he was buried in Kamon [city].

E morreu Jair, e foi sepultado em Camon.

6 Again the Israelis did things that Yahweh said were wrong/evil. They worshiped [the idols of their god] Baal and [their goddess] Astarte. They also worshiped the gods of the Aram, Sidon, Moab, and Ammon people-groups, and the gods of the Philistia people-group. They abandoned Yahweh and stopped worshiping him.

Então tornaram os filhos de Israel a fazer o que parecia mal aos olhos do Senhor, e serviram aos baalins, e a Astaroth, e aos deuses da Síria, e aos deuses de Sidon, e aos deuses de Moab, e aos deuses dos filhos de Ammon, e aos deuses dos philisteus: e deixaram ao Senhor, e não o serviram.

7 So Yahweh was very angry with them, and he allowed the Philistia and Ammon people-groups to defeat [IDM] the Israelis.

E a ira do Senhor se acendeu contra Israel: e vendeu-os em mão dos philisteus, e em mão dos filhos de Ammon.

8 In that same year, those people started to oppress the Israelis who lived in [the] Gilead [region] on the east side of the Jordan [River]. That was where the Amor people-group also lived. were They caused the Israelis who lived in that region to suffer for 18 years.

E naquele mesmo ano oprimiram e vexaram aos filhos de Israel: dezoito anos oprimiram a todos os filhos de Israel que estavam de além do Jordão, na terra dos amorreus, que está em Gilead.

9 Then the people of the Ammon people-group crossed the Jordan [River] to fight against the people of the tribes of Judah, Benjamin, and Ephraim. They caused the Israelis’ lives to be very miserable.

Até os filhos de Ammon passaram o Jordão, para pelejar também contra Judá, e contra Benjamin, e contra a casa de Ephraim: de maneira que Israel ficou mui angustiado.

10 So the Israelis cried out to Yahweh, saying “We have sinned against you. We have abandoned you, and we have been worshiping [the idols of their god] Baal.”

Então os filhos de Israel clamaram ao Senhor, dizendo: Contra ti havemos pecado, em que deixamos a nosso Deus, e em que servimos aos baalins.

11 Yahweh answered them, saying, “When the people of Egypt, and the Amor and Ammon and Philistia people-groups

Porém o Senhor disse aos filhos de Israel: Porventura dos egípcios, e dos amorreus, e dos filhos de Ammon, e dos philisteus,

12 and the Sidon and Amalek and Maon people-groups were cruel to you, you cried out to me, and then I rescued you.

E dos sidônios, e dos amalequitas, e dos maonitas, que vos oprimiam, quando a mim chamastes, não vos livrei eu então da sua mão?

13 But now you have abandoned me again, and you have been worshiping other gods. So I will not rescue you again.

Contudo vós me deixastes a mim, e servistes a outros deuses: pelo que não vos livrarei mais.

14 You have chosen those gods [to be the ones that you worship]. So call to them to help you. Allow them to rescue you when you have a lot of trouble!”

Andai, e clamai aos deuses que escolhestes: que vos livrem eles no tempo do vosso aperto.

15 But the Israeli people said to Yahweh, “Truly we have sinned. Punish us in whatever way you wish to, but please rescue us now!”

Mas os filhos de Israel disseram ao Senhor: pecamos, faze-nos conforme a tudo quanto te parecer bem aos teus olhos; tão somente te rogamos que nos livres neste dia.

16 Then the Israelis threw away the [idols of the] gods that belonged to other people-groups, and they worshiped Yahweh again. He saw that they were suffering very much, and he felt sorry [IDM] for them.

E tiraram os deuses alheios do meio de si, e serviram ao Senhor: então se angustiou a sua alma por causa do trabalho de Israel.

17 The Ammon people-group gathered to fight [against the Israelis], and they set up their tents in [the] Gilead [region]. The Israeli men also gathered and set up their tents at Mizpah, [which was a city in Gilead].

E os filhos de Ammon se convocaram, e se puseram em campo em Gilead: e também os de Israel se congregaram, e se puseram em campo em Mispah.

18 The Israeli leaders said, “Who will lead our soldiers to attack the Ammon people-group? The one who will lead us will become the leader of all us who live in this Gilead [region].”

Então o povo, os príncipes de Gilead disseram uns aos outros: Quem será o varão que começará a pelejar contra os filhos de Ammon? ele será por Cabeça de todos os moradores de Gilead
