Juízes 15
1 E aconteceu, depois d'alguns dias, que na sega do trigo Sansão visitou a sua mulher com um cabrito, e disse: Entrarei na camara a minha mulher. Porém o pae d'ella não o deixou entrar.
But it came to pass after a while, in the time of wheat harvest, that Samson visited his wife with a kid; and he said, I will go in to my wife into the chamber. But her father would not allow him to go in.
2 Porque disse seu pae: Por certo dizia eu que de todo a aborrecias: de sorte que a dei ao teu companheiro: porém não é sua irmã mais nova, mais formosa do que ella? toma-a pois em seu logar.
And her father said, I verily thought that thou hadst utterly hated her; therefore I gave her to thy companion: is not her younger sister fairer than she? take her, I pray thee, instead of her.
3 Então Sansão disse ácerca d'elles: Innocente sou esta vez para com os philisteos, quando lhes fizer algum mal.
And Samson said concerning them, Now shall I be more blameless than the Philistines, though I do them harm.
4 E foi Sansão, e tomou trezentas raposas: e, tomando tições, as virou cauda a cauda, e lhes poz um tição no meio de cada duas caudas.
And Samson went and caught three hundred foxes, and took torches, and turned tail to tail, and put a torch in the midst between two tails.
5 E chegou fogo aos tições, e largou-as na seara dos philisteos: e assim abrazou os molhos com a sega do trigo, e as vinhas com os olivaes.
And when he had lighted the torches, he let them go into the standing grain of the Philistines, and burnt up both the shocks, and also the standing grain, with the vineyards and olives.
6 Então disseram os philisteos: Quem fez isto? E disseram: Sansão, o genro do Timnatha, porque lhe tomou a sua mulher, e a deu a seu companheiro. Então subiram os philisteos, e queimaram a fogo a ella e a seu pae.
Then the Philistines said, Who hath done this? And they answered, Samson, the son in law of the Timnite, because he had taken his wife, and given her to his companion. And the Philistines came up, and burnt her and her father with fire.
7 Então lhes disse Sansão: Assim o haveis de fazer? pois havendo-me vingado eu de vós então cessarei.
And Samson said to them, Though ye have done this, yet will I be avenged of you, and after that I will cease.
8 E feriu-os com grande ferimento, perna juntamente com côxa: e desceu, e habitou no cume da rocha d'Etam.
And he smote them hip and thigh with a great slaughter: and he went down and dwelt in the top of the rock Etam.
9 Então os philisteos subiram, e acamparam-se contra Judah, e estenderam-se por Lechi,
Then the Philistines went up, and encamped in Judah, and spread themselves in Lehi.
10 E disseram os homens de Judah: Porque subistes contra nós? E elles disseram: Subimos para amarrar a Sansão, para lhe fazer a elle como elle nos fez a nós.
And the men of Judah said, Why have ye come up against us? And they answered, We have come to bind Samson, to do to him as he hath done to us.
11 Então tres mil homens de Judah desceram até á cova da rocha d'Etam, e disseram a Sansão: Não sabias tu que os philisteos dominam sobre nós? porque pois nos fizeste isto? E elle lhes disse: Assim como elles me fizeram a mim, eu lhes fiz a elles
Then three thousand men of Judah went to the top of the rock Etam, and said to Samson, Knowest thou not that the Philistines are rulers over us? what is this that thou hast done to us? And he said to them, As they did to me, so have I done to them.
12 E disseram-lhe: Descemos para te amarrar, para te entregar nas mãos dos philisteos. Então Sansão lhes disse: Jurae-me que vós mesmos me não accommettereis.
And they said to him, We have come down to bind thee, that we may deliver thee into the hand of the Philistines. And Samson said to them, Swear to me, that ye will not fall upon me yourselves.
13 E elles lhe fallaram, dizendo: Não, mas fortemente te amarraremos, e te entregaremos na sua mão; porém de maneira nenhuma te mataremos. E amarraram-n'o com duas cordas novas e fizeram-n'o subir da rocha.
And they spoke to him, saying, No; but we will bind thee securely, and deliver thee into their hand: but surely we will not kill thee. And they bound him with two new cords, and brought him up from the rock.
14 E, vindo elle a Lechi, os philisteos lhe sairam ao encontro, jubilando: porém o espirito do Senhor possantemente se apossou d'elle, e as cordas que elle tinha nos braços se tornaram como fios de linho que se queimaram no fogo, e as suas amarraduras se desfizeram das suas mãos.
And when he came to Lehi, the Philistines shouted against him: and the Spirit of the LORD came mightily upon him, and the cords that were upon his arms became as flax that was burnt with fire, and his bands loosed from off his hands.
15 E achou uma queixada fresca d'um jumento, e estendeu a sua mão, e tomou-a, e feriu com ella mil homens,
And he found a fresh jawbone of a donkey, and put forth his hand, and took it, and slew a thousand men with it.
16 Então disse Sansão: Com uma queixada de jumento um montão, dois montões; com uma queixada de jumento feri a mil homens.
And Samson said, With the jawbone of a donkey, heaps upon heaps, with the jaw of a donkey have I slain a thousand men.
17 E aconteceu que, acabando elle de fallar, lançou a queixada da sua mão: e chamou áquelle logar Ramath-lechi.
And it came to pass, when he had finished speaking, that he cast away the jawbone out of his hand, and called that place Ramathlehi.
18 E como tivesse grande sede, clamou ao Senhor, e disse: Pela mão do teu servo tu déste esta grande salvação: morrerei eu pois agora de sede, e cairei na mão d'estes incircumcisos?
And he was very thirsty, and called on the LORD, and said, Thou hast given this great deliverance into the hand of thy servant: and now shall I die by thirst, and fall into the hand of the uncircumcised?
19 Então o Senhor fendeu a caverna que estava em Lechi; e saiu d'ella agua, e bebeu; e o seu espirito tornou, e reviveu: pelo que chamou o seu nome: A fonte do que clama, que está em Lechi até ao dia d'hoje.
But God opened an hollow place that was in the jaw, and there came water out of it; and when he had drunk, his spirit came again, and he revived: therefore he called the name of it Enhakkore, which is in Lehi to this day.
20 E julgou a Israel, nos dias dos philisteos, vinte annos.
And he judged Israel in the days of the Philistines twenty years.
