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.
Yahweh [appeared in the form of] an angel [and] went up from Gilgal to [a place that was later called] Bokim. He said [to the Israeli people], “I brought your [ancestors] up here from Egypt. I led them into this land that I solemnly promised to give to your ancestors. I said to them, ‘The agreement that I made with you, as for me, I will never (break it/say that it is ended).
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
But as for you, you must never make a peace agreement with the people who live in this land. You must tear down the altars [where they make sacrifices to idols].’ But you have not obeyed me.
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
So now, I am telling you that I will not expel [your enemies] as you advance. They will be like thorns in your sides. And [they] will try to trap you [by making you worship] their idols.”
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.
After he told that to all the Israelis, the people cried loudly.
5 Pelo que chamaram áquelle logar, Bochim: e sacrificaram ali ao Senhor.
They called that place Bokim, [which means ‘weeping’]. There they offered sacrifices to Yahweh.
6 E havendo Josué despedido o povo, foram-se os filhos d'Israel, cada um á sua herdade, para possuirem a terra.
After Joshua sent the Israeli people away, each group went to possess the land that had been allotted to them.
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.
They served Yahweh as long as Joshua was alive, and as long as the elders, those who had seen all the great things that Yahweh had done for Israel, were alive.
8 Falleceu porém Josué, filho de Nun, servo do Senhor, da edade de cento e dez annos;
Then Yahweh’s servant Joshua died. He was 110 years old when he died.
9 E sepultaram-o no termo da sua herdade, em Timnath-heres, no monte d'Ephraim, para o norte do monte de Gaas.
They buried his body in the area he had received [from Moses], at Timnath-Serah, in the area where the descendants of Ephraim lived, north of Gaash Mountain.
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
After all the people died who lived at the same time as Joshua [EUP], a group of people grew up who did not know Yahweh, and did not know what great things he had done for the Israeli people.
11 Então fizeram os filhos de Israel o que parecia mal aos olhos do Senhor: e serviram os baalins.
They did things that Yahweh said were very evil. They worshiped [idols that represented the god] Baal and the goddess Astarte. They worshiped [DOU] the various gods that the people-groups around them worshiped. They stopped worshiping Yahweh, the God their ancestors worshiped, the one who had brought their ancestors out of Egypt. That caused Yahweh to be very angry.
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.
13 Porquanto deixaram ao Senhor: e serviram a Baal e a Astaroth.
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.
So he allowed people from other groups to raid them and steal their crops and animals. They were no longer able to resist their enemies, and Yahweh allowed all their enemies around them to defeat them.
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.
Whenever the Israelis went to fight [their enemies], Yahweh [MTY] was opposing them, and allowed their enemies to defeat them, just as he had promised he would do. So the Israelis were greatly distressed.
16 E levantou o Senhor juizes, que os livraram da mão dos que os roubaram.
Then Yahweh gave leaders to them. These leaders rescued the Israelis from the people who were raiding 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.
But the Israelis still would not pay attention to their leaders. Instead, they went to the idols, [acting like] prostitutes [who gave themselves to men who were not their husbands] [MET], and they worshiped those idols. They were not like their ancestors. Their ancestors obeyed what Yahweh commanded, but their descendants quickly stopped behaving as their ancestors had behaved.
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.
Whenever Yahweh gave a leader to them, he helped that leader and enabled him to rescue the people from their enemies. He helped them like that as long as that leader was alive. Yahweh pitied them as they groaned because they were being oppressed and caused to suffer.
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 after that leader died, the people went back to behaving in ways even more evil than their ancestors had behaved. They worshiped other gods and bowed down to them and did all [LIT] the things that they thought those gods wanted them to do.
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.
So Yahweh was very angry with the Israeli people. He said, “These people have disobeyed the agreement I made with their ancestors. They have not done what I told them to do.
21 Tão pouco desapossarei mais de diante d'elles a nenhuma das nações, que Josué deixou, morrendo;
So I will no longer expel the people-groups that Joshua left in this land 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.
I will use them to test the Israeli people to see whether they will do what I want them to do, as their ancestors did.”
23 Assim o Senhor deixou ficar aquellas nações, e não as desterrou logo, nem as entregou na mão de Josué.
Yahweh had allowed those people-groups to stay in that land. He did not expel them by allowing Joshua [and his men] to defeat them.
