Judges 20
1 Then all the children of Israel went out, and the congregation was assembled as one man, from Dan even to Beersheba, with the land of Gilead, to the LORD at Mizpah.
Então todos os filhos d'Israel sairam, e a congregação se ajuntou, como se fôra um só homem, desde Dan até Berseba como tambem a terra de Gilead, ao Senhor em Mispah.
2 The chiefs of all the people, even of all the tribes of Israel, presented themselves in the assembly of the people of God, four hundred thousand footmen who drew sword.
E dos cantos de todo o povo se apresentaram de todas as tribus d'Israel na congregação do povo de Deus quatrocentos mil homens de pé que arrancavam a espada.
3 (Now the children of Benjamin heard that the children of Israel had gone up to Mizpah.) The children of Israel said, “Tell us, how did this wickedness happen?”
(Ouviram pois os filhos de Benjamin que os filhos d'Israel haviam subido a Mispah) E disseram os filhos de Israel: Fallae, como succedeu esta maldade?
4 The Levite, the husband of the woman who was murdered, answered, “I came into Gibeah that belongs to Benjamin, I and my concubine, to spend the night.
Então respondeu o homem levita, marido da mulher que fôra morta, e disse: Cheguei com a minha concubina a Gibeah cidade de Benjamin, para passar a noite;
5 The men of Gibeah rose against me, and surrounded the house by night. They intended to kill me and they raped my concubine, and she is dead.
E os cidadãos de Gibeah se levantaram contra mim, e cercaram a casa de noite: intentaram matar-me, e violaram a minha concubina, de maneira que morreu.
6 I took my concubine and cut her in pieces, and sent her throughout all the country of the inheritance of Israel; for they have committed lewdness and folly in Israel.
Então peguei na minha concubina, e fil-a em pedaços, e a enviei por toda a terra da herança d'Israel: porquanto fizeram tal maleficio e loucura em Israel.
7 Behold, you children of Israel, all of you, give here your advice and counsel.”
Eis que todos sois filhos d'Israel: dae aqui a vossa palavra e conselho.
8 All the people arose as one man, saying, “None of us will go to his tent, neither will any of us turn to his house.
Então todo o povo se levantou como um só homem, dizendo: Nenhum de nós irá á sua tenda nem nenhum de nós se retirará á sua casa.
9 But now this is the thing which we will do to Gibeah: we will go up against it by lot;
Porém isto é o que faremos a Gibeah: procederemos contra ella por sorte.
10 and we will take ten men of one hundred throughout all the tribes of Israel, and one hundred of one thousand, and a thousand out of ten thousand to get food for the people, that they may do, when they come to Gibeah of Benjamin, according to all the folly that the men of Gibeah have done in Israel.”
E tomaremos dez homens de cem de todas as tribus d'Israel, e cem de mil, e mil de dez mil, para tomarem mantimento para o povo: para que, vindo elles a Gibeah de Benjamin, lhe façam conforme a toda a loucura que tem feito em Israel.
11 So all the men of Israel were gathered against the city, knit together as one man.
Assim ajuntaram-se contra esta cidade todos os homens d'Israel, alliados como um só homem.
12 The tribes of Israel sent men through all the tribe of Benjamin, saying, “What wickedness is this that has happened amongst you?
E as tribus d'Israel enviaram homens por toda a tribu de Benjamin, dizendo: Que maldade é esta que se fez entre vós?
13 Now therefore deliver up the men, the wicked fellows who are in Gibeah, that we may put them to death and put away evil from Israel.” But Benjamin would not listen to the voice of their brothers, the children of Israel.
Dae-nos pois agora aquelles homens, filhos de Belial, que estão em Gibeah, para que os matemos, e tiremos d'Israel o mal: porém os filhos de Benjamin não quizeram ouvir a voz de seus irmãos, os filhos d'Israel.
14 The children of Benjamin gathered themselves together out of the cities to Gibeah, to go out to battle against the children of Israel.
Antes os filhos de Benjamin se ajuntaram das cidades em Gibeah, para sairem a pelejar contra os filhos d'Israel.
15 The children of Benjamin were counted on that day out of the cities twenty-six thousand men who drew the sword, in addition to the inhabitants of Gibeah, who were counted seven hundred chosen men.
E contaram-se n'aquelle dia os filhos de Benjamin, das cidades, vinte e seis mil homens que arrancavam a espada, afóra os moradores de Gibeah, de que se contaram setecentos homens escolhidos.
16 Amongst all these soldiers there were seven hundred chosen men who were left-handed. Every one of them could sling a stone at a hair and not miss.
Entre todo este povo havia setecentos homens escolhidos, canhotos, os quaes todos atiravam com a funda uma pedra a um cabello, e não erravam.
17 The men of Israel, besides Benjamin, were counted four hundred thousand men who drew sword. All these were men of war.
E contaram-se dos homens d'Israel, afóra os de Benjamin, quatrocentos mil homens que arrancavam da espada, e todos elles homens de guerra.
18 The children of Israel arose, went up to Bethel, and asked counsel of God. They asked, “Who shall go up for us first to battle against the children of Benjamin?” The LORD said, “Judah first.”
E levantaram-se os filhos d'Israel, e subiram a Beth-el, e perguntaram a Deus, e disseram: Quem d'entre nós subirá o primeiro a pelejar contra Benjamin? E disse o Senhor: Judah subirá primeiro.
19 The children of Israel rose up in the morning and encamped against Gibeah.
Levantaram-se pois os filhos d'Israel pela manhã, e acamparam-se contra Gibeah.
20 The men of Israel went out to battle against Benjamin; and the men of Israel set the battle in array against them at Gibeah.
E os homens d'Israel sairam á peleja contra Benjamin: e ordenaram os homens d'Israel contra elles a peleja ao pé de Gibeah.
21 The children of Benjamin came out of Gibeah, and on that day destroyed twenty-two thousand of the Israelite men down to the ground.
Então os filhos de Benjamin sairam de Gibeah, e derribaram por terra n'aquelle dia vinte e dois mil homens d'Israel.
22 The people, the men of Israel, encouraged themselves, and set the battle again in array in the place where they set themselves in array the first day.
Porém esforçou-se o povo dos homens d'Israel, e tornaram a ordenar a peleja no logar onde no primeiro dia a tinham ordenado.
23 The children of Israel went up and wept before the LORD until evening; and they asked of the LORD, saying, “Shall I again draw near to battle against the children of Benjamin my brother?” The LORD said, “Go up against him.”
E subiram os filhos d'Israel, e choraram perante o Senhor até á tarde, e perguntaram ao Senhor, dizendo: Tornar-me-hei a chegar á peleja contra os filhos de Benjamin, meu irmão? E disse o Senhor: Subi contra elle.
24 The children of Israel came near against the children of Benjamin the second day.
Chegaram-se pois os filhos d'Israel aos filhos de Benjamin, no dia seguinte.
25 Benjamin went out against them out of Gibeah the second day, and destroyed down to the ground of the children of Israel again eighteen thousand men. All these drew the sword.
Tambem os de Benjamin no dia seguinte lhes sairam ao encontro fóra de Gibeah, e derribaram ainda por terra mais dezoito mil homens, todos dos que arrancavam a espada.
26 Then all the children of Israel and all the people went up, and came to Bethel, and wept, and sat there before the LORD, and fasted that day until evening; then they offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the LORD.
Então todos os filhos de Israel, e todo o povo, subiram, e vieram a Beth-el, e choraram, e estiveram ali perante o Senhor, e jejuaram aquelle dia até á tarde: e offereceram holocaustos e offertas pacificas perante o Senhor.
27 The children of Israel asked the LORD (for the ark of the covenant of God was there in those days,
E os filhos d'Israel perguntaram ao Senhor (porquanto a arca do concerto de Deus estava ali n'aquelles dias;
28 and Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron, stood before it in those days), saying, “Shall I yet again go out to battle against the children of Benjamin my brother, or shall I cease?” The LORD said, “Go up; for tomorrow I will deliver him into your hand.”
E Phineas, filho d'Eleazar, filho d'Aarão, estava perante elle n'aquelles dias), dizendo: Sairei ainda mais a pelejar contra os filhos de Benjamin, meu irmão, ou pararei? E disse o Senhor; Subi, que ámanhã eu t'o entregarei na mão
29 Israel set ambushes all around Gibeah.
Então Israel poz emboscadas em redor de Gibeah.
30 The children of Israel went up against the children of Benjamin on the third day, and set themselves in array against Gibeah, as at other times.
E subiram os filhos d'Israel ao terceiro dia contra os filhos de Benjamin, e ordenaram a peleja junto a Gibeah, como das outras vezes.
31 The children of Benjamin went out against the people, and were drawn away from the city; and they began to strike and kill of the people as at other times, in the highways, of which one goes up to Bethel and the other to Gibeah, in the field, about thirty men of Israel.
Então os filhos de Benjamin sairam ao encontro do povo, e desviaram-se da cidade: e começaram a ferir alguns do povo, atravessando-os, como das outras vezes, pelos caminhos (um dos quaes sobe para Beth-el, e o outro para Gibeah pelo campo), alguns trinta dos homens d'Israel.
32 The children of Benjamin said, “They are struck down before us, as at the first.” But the children of Israel said, “Let’s flee, and draw them away from the city to the highways.”
Então os filhos de Benjamin disseram: Vão derrotados diante de nós como d'antes. Porém os filhos d'Israel disseram: Fujamos, e desviemol-os da cidade para os caminhos.
33 All the men of Israel rose up out of their place and set themselves in array at Baal Tamar. Then the ambushers of Israel broke out of their place, even out of Maareh Geba.
Então todos os homens de Israel se levantaram do seu logar, e ordenaram, a peleja em Baal-tamar: e a emboscada d'Israel saiu do seu logar, da caverna de Gibeah.
34 Ten thousand chosen men out of all Israel came over against Gibeah, and the battle was severe; but they didn’t know that disaster was close to them.
E dez mil homens escolhidos de todo o Israel vieram contra Gibeah, e a peleja se engraveceu: porém elles não sabiam que o mal lhes tocaria.
35 The LORD struck Benjamin before Israel; and the children of Israel destroyed of Benjamin that day twenty-five thousand and one hundred men. All these drew the sword.
Então feriu o Senhor a Benjamin diante d'Israel; e desfizeram os filhos d'Israel n'aquelle dia vinte e cinco mil e cem homens de Benjamin, todos dos que arrancavam espada.
36 So the children of Benjamin saw that they were struck, for the men of Israel yielded to Benjamin because they trusted the ambushers whom they had set against Gibeah.
E viram os filhos de Benjamin que estavam feridos: porque os homens d'Israel deram logar aos benjamitas, porquanto estavam confiados na emboscada que haviam posto contra Gibeah.
37 The ambushers hurried, and rushed on Gibeah; then the ambushers spread out, and struck all the city with the edge of the sword.
E a emboscada se apressou, e accommetteu a Gibeah: e a emboscada arremetteu contra ella, e feriu ao fio da espada toda a cidade.
38 Now the appointed sign between the men of Israel and the ambushers was that they should make a great cloud of smoke rise up out of the city.
E os homens d'Israel tinham um signal determinado com a emboscada, que era quando fizessem levantar da cidade uma grande nuvem de fumo.
39 The men of Israel turned in the battle, and Benjamin began to strike and kill of the men of Israel about thirty persons; for they said, “Surely they are struck down before us, as in the first battle.”
Viraram-se pois os homens d'Israel na peleja; e já Benjamin começava a ferir, dos homens de Israel, quasi trinta homens, atravessando-os, porque diziam: Já infallivelmente estão derrotados diante de nós, como na peleja passada.
40 But when the cloud began to arise up out of the city in a pillar of smoke, the Benjamites looked behind them; and behold, the whole city went up in smoke to the sky.
Então a nuvem de fumo se começou a levantar da cidade, como uma columna de fumo: e, virando-se Benjamin a olhar para traz de si, eis que o fumo da cidade subia ao céu.
41 The men of Israel turned, and the men of Benjamin were dismayed; for they saw that disaster had come on them.
E os homens d'Israel viraram os rostos, e os homens de Benjamin pasmaram; porque viram que o mal lhes tocaria.
42 Therefore they turned their backs before the men of Israel to the way of the wilderness, but the battle followed hard after them; and those who came out of the cities destroyed them in the middle of it.
E viraram as costas diante dos homens d'Israel, para o caminho do deserto; porém a peleja os apertou; e os das cidades os desfizeram no meio d'elles.
43 They surrounded the Benjamites, chased them, and trod them down at their resting place, as far as near Gibeah towards the sunrise.
E cercaram a Benjamin, e o seguiram, e descancadamente o pisaram, até diante de Gibeah, para o nascente do sol.
44 Eighteen thousand men of Benjamin fell; all these were men of valour.
E cairam de Benjamin dezoito mil homens, todos estes sendo homens valentes.
45 They turned and fled towards the wilderness to the rock of Rimmon. They gleaned five thousand men of them in the highways, and followed hard after them to Gidom, and struck two thousand men of them.
Então viraram as costas, e fugiram para o deserto, á penha de Rimmon; rabiscaram ainda d'elles pelos caminhos uns cinco mil homens: e de perto os seguiram até Gideon, e feriram d'elles dois mil homens.
46 So that all who fell that day of Benjamin were twenty-five thousand men who drew the sword. All these were men of valour.
E foram todos os que de Benjamin n'aquelle dia cairam vinte e cinco mil homens que arrancavam a espada, todos elles homens valentes.
47 But six hundred men turned and fled towards the wilderness to the rock of Rimmon, and stayed in the rock of Rimmon four months.
Porém seiscentos homens viraram as costas e fugiram para o deserto, á penha de Rimmon: e ficaram na penha de Rimmon quatro mezes.
48 The men of Israel turned again on the children of Benjamin, and struck them with the edge of the sword—including the entire city, the livestock, and all that they found. Moreover they set all the cities which they found on fire.
E os homens d'Israel voltaram para os filhos de Benjamin, e os feriram ao fio da espada, desde os homens da cidade até aos animaes, até a tudo quanto se achava, como tambem a todas as cidades quantas se acharam pozeram a fogo.
