Judges 2
1 The LORD’s angel came up from Gilgal to Bochim. He said, “I brought you out of Egypt, and have brought you to the land which I swore to give your fathers. 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 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 shall be in your sides, and their gods will 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 When the LORD’s angel spoke these words to all the children of Israel, 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 each went 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 and 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 border of his inheritance in Timnath Heres, 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 After all that generation were gathered to their fathers, another generation arose after them who didn’t know the LORD, nor the work 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 LORD’s sight, and served the Baals.
Os filhos de Israel fizeram o que era mau aos olhos de Iavé, e serviram aos Baal.
12 They abandoned 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 abandoned the LORD, and served Baal and the Ashtaroth.
Eles abandonaram Yahweh, e serviram Baal e os Ashtaroth.
14 The LORD’s anger burnt against Israel, and he delivered them into the hands of raiders who plundered them. He sold them into the hands of their enemies all around, so that they could no 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 LORD’s hand was against them for evil, as the LORD had spoken, and as the LORD had sworn to them; and they were very 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 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 didn’t listen to their judges; for they prostituted themselves to other gods, and bowed themselves down to them. They quickly turned away from the way in which their fathers walked, obeying the LORD’s commandments. They didn’t 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 when the judge was dead, they turned back, and dealt more corruptly than their fathers in following other gods to serve them and to bow down to them. They didn’t cease what they were doing, or give up 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 LORD’s anger burnt against Israel; and he said, “Because this nation transgressed my covenant which I commanded their fathers, and has not listened to 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 also will no longer drive out any of the nations that Joshua left when he died from before them;
eu também não expulsarei mais nenhuma das nações que Josué deixou quando morreu antes deles;
22 that by them I may test Israel, to see if they will keep the LORD’s way to walk therein, 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. He didn’t deliver them into Joshua’s hand.
Portanto, Javé deixou essas nações, sem expulsá-las apressadamente. Ele não os entregou nas mãos de Josué.
