< Judges 1 >

1 After the death of Joshua, the people of Israel asked Yahweh, saying, “Who first will attack the Canaanites for us, to fight against them?”
E aconteceu depois da morte de Josué, que os filhos de Israel consultaram ao SENHOR, dizendo: Quem subirá por nós primeiro para lutar contra os cananeus?
2 Yahweh said, “Judah will attack. See, I have given them control of this land.”
E o SENHOR respondeu: Judá subirá; eis que eu entreguei a terra em suas mãos.
3 The men of Judah said to men of Simeon, their brothers, “Come up with us into our territory that was assigned to us that together we may fight against the Canaanites. We will likewise go with you to the territory that was assigned to you.” So the tribe of Simeon went with them.
E Judá disse a Simeão seu irmão: Sobe comigo à minha porção, e lutemos contra os cananeus, e eu também irei contigo à tua porção. E Simeão foi com ele.
4 The men of Judah attacked, and Yahweh gave them victory over the Canaanites and the Perizzites. They killed ten thousand of them at Bezek.
E subiu Judá, e o SENHOR entregou em suas mãos aos cananeus e aos perizeus; e deles feriram em Bezeque dez mil homens.
5 They found Adoni-Bezek at Bezek, and they fought against him and defeated the Canaanites and the Perizzites.
E acharam a Adoni-Bezeque em Bezeque, e lutaram contra ele: e feriram aos cananeus e aos perizeus.
6 But Adoni-Bezek fled, and they pursued him and caught him, and they cut off his thumbs and his big toes.
Mas Adoni-Bezeque fugiu; e seguiram-no, e prenderam-no, e cortaram-lhe os polegares das mãos e dos pés.
7 Adoni-Bezek said, “Seventy kings, who had their thumbs and their big toes cut off, gathered their food from under my table. As I have done, even so God has done to me.” They brought him to Jerusalem, and he died there.
Então disse Adoni-Bezeque: Setenta reis, cortados os polegares de suas mãos e de seus pés, colhiam as migalhas debaixo de minha mesa: como eu fiz, assim Deus me pagou. E meteram-no em Jerusalém, de onde morreu.
8 The men of Judah fought against the city of Jerusalem and took it. They attacked it with the edge of the sword and they set the city on fire.
E combateram os filhos de Judá a Jerusalém, e a tomaram, e puseram à espada, e puseram a fogo a cidade.
9 After that, the men of Judah went down to fight against the Canaanites who lived in the hill country, in the Negev, and the western foothills.
Depois os filhos de Judá desceram para lutar contra os cananeus que habitavam nas montanhas, e ao sul, e nas planícies.
10 Judah advanced against the Canaanites who lived in Hebron (the name of Hebron was previously Kiriath Arba), and they defeated Sheshai, Ahiman, and Talmai.
E partiu Judá contra os cananeus que habitavam em Hebrom, a qual se chamava antes Quiriate-Arba; e feriram a Sesai, e a Aimã, e a Talmai.
11 From there the men of Judah advanced against the inhabitants of Debir (the name of Debir was previously Kiriath Sepher).
E dali foi aos que habitavam em Debir, que antes se chamava Quiriate-Sefer.
12 Caleb said, “Whoever attacks Kiriath Sepher and takes it, I will give him Aksah, my daughter, to be his wife.”
E disse Calebe: O que ferir a Quiriate-Sefer, e a tomar, eu lhe darei a Acsa minha filha por mulher.
13 Othniel, son of Kenaz (Caleb's younger brother) captured Debir, so Caleb gave him Aksah, his daughter, to be his wife.
E tomou-a Otniel filho de Quenaz, irmão menor de Calebe: e ele lhe deu a Acsa sua filha por mulher.
14 Soon Aksah came to Othniel, and she urged him to ask her father to give her a field. As she was getting off her donkey, Caleb asked her, “What can I do for you?”
E quando a levavam, persuadiu-lhe que pedisse a seu pai um campo. E ela desceu do asno, e Calebe lhe disse: Que tens?
15 She said to him, “Give me a blessing. Since you have given me the land of the Negev, also give me springs of water.” So Caleb gave her the upper springs and the lower springs.
Ela então lhe respondeu: Dá-me uma bênção: pois me deste terra de secura, que me dês também fontes de águas. Então Calebe lhe deu as fontes de acima e as fontes de abaixo.
16 The descendants of Moses' father-in-law the Kenite went up from the City of Palms with the people of Judah, into the wilderness of Judah, which is in the Negev, to live with the people of Judah near Arad.
E os filhos de queneu, sogro de Moisés, subiram da cidade das palmeiras com os filhos de Judá ao deserto de Judá, que está ao sul de Arade: e foram e habitaram com o povo.
17 The men of Judah went with the men of Simeon their brothers and they attacked the Canaanites who inhabited Zephath and they completely destroyed it. The name of the city was called Hormah.
E foi Judá ao seu irmão Simeão, e feriram aos cananeus que habitavam em Zefate, e assolaram-na: e puseram por nome à cidade, Hormá.
18 The people of Judah also captured Gaza and the land around it, Ashkelon and the land around it, and Ekron and the land around it.
Tomou também Judá a Gaza com seu termo, e a Asquelom com seu termo, e a Ecrom com seu termo.
19 Yahweh was with the people of Judah and they took possession of the hill country, but they could not drive out the inhabitants of the plains because they had iron chariots.
E o SENHOR foi com Judá, e expulsaram os das montanhas; mas não puderam expulsar os que habitavam nas planícies, os quais tinham carros de ferro.
20 Hebron was given to Caleb (like Moses had said), and he drove out from there the three sons of Anak.
E deram Hebrom a Calebe, como Moisés havia dito: e ele expulsou dali três filhos de Anaque.
21 But the people of Benjamin did not drive out the Jebusites who inhabited Jerusalem. So the Jebusites have lived with the people of Benjamin in Jerusalem to this day.
Mas aos jebuseus que habitavam em Jerusalém, não expulsaram os filhos de Benjamim, e tanto os jebuseus habitaram com os filhos de Benjamim em Jerusalém até hoje.
22 The house of Joseph prepared to attack Bethel, and Yahweh was with them.
Também os da casa de José subiram a Betel; e o SENHOR foi com eles.
23 They sent out men to spy on Bethel (the city that was formerly called Luz).
E os da casa de José puseram espias em Betel, a qual cidade antes se chamava Luz.
24 The spies saw a man coming out of the city, and they said to him, “Show us, please, how to get into the city, and we will be kind to you.”
E os que espiavam viram um homem que saía da cidade, e disseram-lhe: Mostra-nos agora a entrada da cidade, e faremos contigo misericórdia.
25 He showed them a way into the city, and so they attacked the city with the edge of the sword, but they let the man and all his family get away.
E ele lhes mostrou a entrada à cidade, e feriram-na a fio de espada; mas deixaram a aquele homem com toda sua família.
26 Then the man went to the land of the Hittites and built a city and called it Luz, which is its name to this day.
E fosse o homem à terra dos heteus, e edificou uma cidade, à qual chamou Luz; e este é seu nome até hoje.
27 The people of Manasseh did not drive out the people living in the cities of Beth Shan and its villages, or Taanach and its villages, or those who lived in Dor and its villages, or those who lived in Ibleam and its villages, or those who lived in Megiddo and its villages, because the Canaanites were determined to live in that land.
Tampouco Manassés expulsou os de Bete-Seã, nem aos de suas aldeias, nem aos de Taanaque e suas aldeias, nem os de Dor e suas aldeias, nem os habitantes de Ibleão e suas aldeias, nem aos que habitavam em Megido e em suas aldeias; mas os cananeus quiseram habitar nessa terra.
28 When Israel became strong, they forced the Canaanites to serve them with hard labor, but they never drove them out completely.
Porém quando Israel tomou forças fez aos cananeus tributários, mas não o expulsou.
29 Ephraim did not drive out the Canaanites who lived in Gezer, so the Canaanites continued to live in Gezer among them.
Também Efraim não expulsou os cananeus que habitavam em Gezer; antes habitaram os cananeus em meio deles em Gezer.
30 Zebulun did not drive out the people living in Kitron, or the people living in Nahalol, and so the Canaanites continued to live among them, but Zebulun forced the Canaanites to serve them with hard labor.
Também Zebulom não expulsou aos que habitavam em Quitrom e aos que habitavam em Naalol; mas os cananeus habitaram no meio dele, e lhe foram tributários.
31 Asher did not drive out the people living in Akko, or the people living in Sidon, or those living in Ahlab, Akzib, Helbah, Aphek, or Rehob.
Também Aser não expulsou aos que habitavam em Aco, e aos que habitavam em Sidom, Alabe, Aczibe, Helba, Afeque, e em Reobe;
32 So the tribe of Asher lived among the Canaanites (those who lived in the land), because they did not drive them out.
em vez disso, Aser morou entre os cananeus que habitavam na terra; pois não os expulsou.
33 The tribe of Naphtali did not drive out those who were living in Beth Shemesh, or those living in Beth Anath. So the tribe of Naphtali lived among the Canaanites (the people who were living in that land). However, the inhabitants of Beth Shemesh and Beth Anath were forced into hard labor for Naphthali.
Também Naftali não expulsou os que habitavam em Bete-Semes e os que habitavam em Bete-Anate, mas morou entre os cananeus que habitavam na terra; todavia, os moradores de Bete-Semes e os moradores de Bete-Anate foram-lhe tributários.
34 The Amorites forced the tribe of Dan to live in the hill country, not allowing them to come down to the plain.
Os amorreus pressionaram os filhos de Dã até as montanhas; pois não os permitiram descer ao vale.
35 So the Amorites lived at Mount Heres, in Aijalon, and in Shaalbim, but the military might of the house of Joseph conquered them, and they were forced to serve them with hard labor.
E os amorreus quiseram habitar no monte de Heres, em Aijalom e em Saalbim; mas a mão da tribo de José foi mais forte, e os fizeram tributários.
36 The border of the Amorites ran from the hill of Akrabbim at Sela up into the hill country.
E o limite dos amorreus foi desde a subida de Acrabim, desde a rocha, e daí acima.
