< Juízes 2 >
1 E subiu o anjo do Senhor de Gilgal a Bochim, e disse: Do Egypto vos fiz subir, e vos trouxe á terra que a vossos paes tinha jurado e dito: Nunca invalidarei o meu concerto comvosco.
And the angel of Jehovah came up from Gilgal to Bochim. And he said, I made you to go up out of Egypt, and have brought you unto the land which I sware unto your fathers; and I said, I will never break my covenant with you:
2 E, quanto a vós, não fareis concerto com os moradores d'esta terra, antes derrubareis os seus altares: mas vós não obedecestes á minha voz. Porque fizestes isto
and ye shall make no covenant with the inhabitants of this land; ye shall break down their altars. But ye have not hearkened unto my voice: why have ye done this?
3 Pelo que tambem eu disso: Não os expellirei de diante de vós: antes estarão ás vossas ilhargas, e os seus deuses vos serão por laço
Wherefore I also said, I will not drive them out from before you; but they shall be [as thorns] in your sides, and their gods shall be a snare unto you.
4 E succedeu que, fallando o anjo do Senhor estas palavras a todos os filhos d'Israel, o povo levantou a sua voz e chorou.
And it came to pass, when the angel of Jehovah spake these words unto all the children of Israel, that the people lifted up their voice, and wept.
5 Pelo que chamaram áquelle logar, Bochim: e sacrificaram ali ao Senhor.
And they called the name of that place Bochim: and they sacrificed there unto Jehovah.
6 E havendo Josué despedido o povo, foram-se os filhos d'Israel, cada um á sua herdade, para possuirem a terra.
Now when Joshua had sent the people away, the children of Israel went every man unto his inheritance to possess the land.
7 E serviu o povo ao Senhor todos os dias de Josué, e todos os dias dos anciãos que prolongaram os seus dias depois de Josué, e viram toda aquella grande obra do Senhor, que fizera a Israel.
And the people served Jehovah all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders that outlived Joshua, who had seen all the great work of Jehovah that he had wrought for Israel.
8 Falleceu porém Josué, filho de Nun, servo do Senhor, da edade de cento e dez annos;
And Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of Jehovah, died, being a hundred and ten years old.
9 E sepultaram-o no termo da sua herdade, em Timnath-heres, no monte d'Ephraim, para o norte do monte de Gaas.
And 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.
10 E foi tambem congregada toda aquella geração a seus paes, e outra geração após d'elles se levantou, que não conhecia ao Senhor, nem tão pouco a obra, que fizera a Israel
And also all that generation were gathered unto their fathers: and there arose another generation after them, that knew not Jehovah, nor yet the work which he had wrought for Israel.
11 Então fizeram os filhos de Israel o que parecia mal aos olhos do Senhor: e serviram os baalins.
And the children of Israel did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, and served the Baalim;
12 E deixaram ao Senhor Deus de seus paes, que os tirara da terra do Egypto, e foram-se após d'outros deuses, d'entre os deuses das gentes, que havia ao redor d'elles, e encurvaram-se a elles: e provocaram ao Senhor a ira.
and they forsook Jehovah, the God of their fathers, who brought them out of the land of Egypt, and followed other gods, of the gods of the peoples that were round about them, and bowed themselves down unto them: and they provoked Jehovah to anger.
13 Porquanto deixaram ao Senhor: e serviram a Baal e a Astaroth.
And they forsook Jehovah, and served Baal and the Ashtaroth.
14 Pelo que a ira do Senhor se accendeu contra Israel, e os deu na mão dos roubadores, e os roubaram: e os entregou na mão dos seus inimigos ao redor: e não poderam mais estar em pé diante dos seus inimigos.
And the anger of Jehovah was kindled against Israel, and he delivered them into the hands of spoilers that despoiled them; and he sold them into the hands of their enemies round about, so that they could not any longer stand before their enemies.
15 Por onde quer que sahiam, a mão do Senhor era contra elles para mal, como o Senhor tinha dito, e como o Senhor lh'o tinha jurado: e estavam em grande aperto.
Whithersoever they went out, the hand of Jehovah was against them for evil, as Jehovah had spoken, and as Jehovah had sworn unto them: and they were sore distressed.
16 E levantou o Senhor juizes, que os livraram da mão dos que os roubaram.
And Jehovah raised up judges, who saved them out of the hand of those that despoiled them.
17 Porém tão pouco ouviram aos juizes, anteu fornicaram após outros deuses, e encurvaram-se a elles: depressa se desviaram do caminho, por onde andaram seus paes, ouvindo os mandamentos do Senhor; o que elles assim não fizeram.
And yet they hearkened not unto their judges; for they played the harlot after other gods, and bowed themselves down unto them: they turned aside quickly out of the way wherein their fathers walked, obeying the commandments of Jehovah; [but] they did not so.
18 E, quando o Senhor lhes levantava juizes, o Senhor era com o juiz, e os livrava da mão dos seus inimigos, todos os dias d'aquelle juiz; porquanto o Senhor se arrependia pelo seu gemido, por causa dos que os apertavam e opprimiam.
And when Jehovah raised them up judges, then Jehovah was with the judge, and saved them out of the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge: for it repented Jehovah because of their groaning by reason of them that oppressed them and vexed them.
19 Porém succedia que, fallecendo o juiz, tornavam e se corrompiam mais do que seus paes, andando após de outros deuses, servindo-os, e encurvando-se a elles: nada deixavam das suas obras, nem do seu duro caminho.
But it came to pass, when the judge was dead, that they turned back, and dealt more corruptly than their fathers, in following other gods to serve them, and to bow down unto them; they ceased not from their doings, nor from their stubborn way.
20 Pelo que a ira do Senhor se accendeu contra Israel; e disse: Porquanto este povo traspassou o meu concerto, que tinha ordenado a seus paes, e não deram ouvidos á minha voz.
And the anger of Jehovah was kindled against Israel; and he said, Because this nation have transgressed my covenant which I commanded their fathers, and have not hearkened unto my voice;
21 Tão pouco desapossarei mais de diante d'elles a nenhuma das nações, que Josué deixou, morrendo;
I also will not henceforth drive out any from before them of the nations that Joshua left when he died;
22 Para por ellas provar a Israel, se houvessem de guardar o caminho do Senhor, para por elle andarem, como seus paes o guardaram, ou não.
that by them I may prove Israel, whether they will keep the way of Jehovah to walk therein, as their fathers did keep it, or not.
23 Assim o Senhor deixou ficar aquellas nações, e não as desterrou logo, nem as entregou na mão de Josué.
So Jehovah left those nations, without driving them out hastily; neither delivered he them into the hand of Joshua.
