Juízes 20
1 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.
Then all the sons of Israel went out. And the congregation was assembled as one man, from Dan even to Beersheba, with the land of Gilead, to Jehovah at Mizpah.
2 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.
And 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 a sword.
3 (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?
(Now the sons of Benjamin heard that the sons of Israel had gone up to Mizpah.) And the sons of Israel said, Tell us, how was this wickedness brought to pass?
4 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;
And the Levite, the husband of the woman who was murdered, answered and said, I came into Gibeah that belongs to Benjamin, I and my concubine, to lodge.
5 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.
And the men of Gibeah rose against me, and beset the house round about me by night. They thought to have me slain, and they forced my concubine, and she is dead.
6 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.
And 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.
7 Eis que todos sois filhos d'Israel: dae aqui a vossa palavra e conselho.
Behold, ye sons of Israel, all of you, give here your advice and counsel.
8 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.
And all the people arose as one man, saying, We will not any of us go to his tent, neither will we any of us turn to his house.
9 Porém isto é o que faremos a Gibeah: procederemos contra ella por sorte.
But now this is the thing which we will do to Gibeah: We will go up against it by lot,
10 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.
and we will take ten men of a hundred throughout all the tribes of Israel, and a hundred of a thousand, and a thousand out of ten thousand, to fetch provision for the people, that they may do, when they come to Gibeah of Benjamin, according to all the folly that they have wrought in Israel.
11 Assim ajuntaram-se contra esta cidade todos os homens d'Israel, alliados como um só homem.
So all the men of Israel were gathered against the city, knit together as one man.
12 E as tribus d'Israel enviaram homens por toda a tribu de Benjamin, dizendo: Que maldade é esta que se fez entre vós?
And the tribes of Israel sent men through all the tribe of Benjamin, saying, What wickedness is this that has come to pass among you?
13 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.
Now therefore deliver up the men, the base fellows, who are in Gibeah, that we may put them to death, and put away evil from Israel. But Benjamin would not hearken to the voice of their brothers the sons of Israel.
14 Antes os filhos de Benjamin se ajuntaram das cidades em Gibeah, para sairem a pelejar contra os filhos d'Israel.
And the sons of Benjamin gathered themselves together out of the cities to Gibeah, to go out to battle against the sons of Israel.
15 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.
And the sons of Benjamin were numbered on that day out of the cities twenty-six thousand men who drew a sword, besides the inhabitants of Gibeah, who were numbered seven hundred chosen men.
16 Entre todo este povo havia setecentos homens escolhidos, canhotos, os quaes todos atiravam com a funda uma pedra a um cabello, e não erravam.
Among all this people there were seven hundred chosen men left-handed. Every one could sling stones at a hair-breadth, and not miss.
17 E contaram-se dos homens d'Israel, afóra os de Benjamin, quatrocentos mil homens que arrancavam da espada, e todos elles homens de guerra.
And the men of Israel, besides Benjamin, were numbered four hundred thousand men who drew a sword. All these were men of war.
18 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.
And the sons of Israel arose, and went up to Bethel, and asked counsel of God. And they said, Who shall go up for us first to battle against the sons of Benjamin? And Jehovah said, Judah first.
19 Levantaram-se pois os filhos d'Israel pela manhã, e acamparam-se contra Gibeah.
And the sons of Israel rose up in the morning, and encamped against Gibeah.
20 E os homens d'Israel sairam á peleja contra Benjamin: e ordenaram os homens d'Israel contra elles a peleja ao pé de Gibeah.
And the men of Israel went out to battle against Benjamin. And the men of Israel set the battle in array against them at Gibeah.
21 Então os filhos de Benjamin sairam de Gibeah, e derribaram por terra n'aquelle dia vinte e dois mil homens d'Israel.
And the sons of Benjamin came forth out of Gibeah, and destroyed down to the ground of the Israelites on that day twenty-two thousand men.
22 Porém esforçou-se o povo dos homens d'Israel, e tornaram a ordenar a peleja no logar onde no primeiro dia a tinham ordenado.
And 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.
23 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.
And the sons of Israel went up and wept before Jehovah until evening. And they asked of Jehovah, saying, Shall I again draw near to battle against the sons of Benjamin my brother? And Jehovah said, Go up against him.
24 Chegaram-se pois os filhos d'Israel aos filhos de Benjamin, no dia seguinte.
And the sons of Israel came near against the sons of Benjamin the second day.
25 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.
And Benjamin went forth against them out of Gibeah the second day, and destroyed down to the ground of the sons of Israel again eighteen thousand men. All these drew the sword.
26 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.
Then all the sons of Israel, and all the people, went up, and came to Bethel, and wept, and sat there before Jehovah, and fasted that day until evening, and they offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before Jehovah.
27 E os filhos d'Israel perguntaram ao Senhor (porquanto a arca do concerto de Deus estava ali n'aquelles dias;
And the sons of Israel asked of Jehovah (for the ark of the covenant of God was there in those days,
28 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
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 sons of Benjamin my brother, or shall I cease? And Jehovah said, Go up, for tomorrow I will deliver him into thy hand.
29 Então Israel poz emboscadas em redor de Gibeah.
And Israel set an ambushment against Gibeah round about.
30 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.
And the sons of Israel went up against the sons of Benjamin on the third day, and set themselves in array against Gibeah, as at other times.
31 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.
And the sons of Benjamin went out against the people, and were drawn away from the city. And they began to smite 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.
32 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.
And the sons of Benjamin said, They are smitten down before us as at the first. But the sons of Israel said, Let us flee, and draw them away from the city to the highways.
33 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.
And all the men of Israel rose up out of their place, and set themselves in array at Baal-tamar, and the ambushment of Israel broke forth out of their place, even out of Maareh-geba.
34 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.
And there came opposite Gibeah ten thousand chosen men out of all Israel, and the battle was severe, but they knew not that evil was close upon them.
35 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.
And Jehovah smote Benjamin before Israel, and the sons of Israel destroyed of Benjamin that day twenty-five thousand and a hundred men. All these drew the sword.
36 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.
So the sons of Benjamin saw that they were smitten, for the men of Israel gave place to Benjamin because they trusted to the ambushment whom they had set against Gibeah.
37 E a emboscada se apressou, e accommetteu a Gibeah: e a emboscada arremetteu contra ella, e feriu ao fio da espada toda a cidade.
And the ambushment hastened, and rushed upon Gibeah. And the ambushment drew themselves along, and smote all the city with the edge of the sword.
38 E os homens d'Israel tinham um signal determinado com a emboscada, que era quando fizessem levantar da cidade uma grande nuvem de fumo.
Now the appointed sign between the men of Israel and the ambushment was, that they should make a great cloud of smoke rise up out of the city.
39 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.
And the men of Israel turned in the battle, and Benjamin began to smite and kill of the men of Israel about thirty persons, for they said, Surely they are smitten down before us as in the first battle.
40 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.
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 of the city went up in smoke to heaven.
41 E os homens d'Israel viraram os rostos, e os homens de Benjamin pasmaram; porque viram que o mal lhes tocaria.
And the men of Israel turned, and the men of Benjamin were dismayed, for they saw that evil had come upon them.
42 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.
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 midst of it.
43 E cercaram a Benjamin, e o seguiram, e descancadamente o pisaram, até diante de Gibeah, para o nascente do sol.
They enclosed the Benjamites round about, and chased them, and trod them down at their resting-place, as far as opposite Gibeah toward the sunrise.
44 E cairam de Benjamin dezoito mil homens, todos estes sendo homens valentes.
And there fell of Benjamin eighteen thousand men. All these were men of valor.
45 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.
And they turned and fled toward the wilderness to the rock of Rimmon. And they gleaned of them in the highways five thousand men, and followed hard after them to Gidom, and smote of them two thousand men.
46 E foram todos os que de Benjamin n'aquelle dia cairam vinte e cinco mil homens que arrancavam a espada, todos elles homens valentes.
So that all who fell that day of Benjamin were twenty-five thousand men who drew the sword. All these were men of valor.
47 Porém seiscentos homens viraram as costas e fugiram para o deserto, á penha de Rimmon: e ficaram na penha de Rimmon quatro mezes.
But six hundred men turned and fled toward the wilderness to the rock of Rimmon, and abode in the rock of Rimmon four months.
48 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.
And the men of Israel turned again upon the sons of Benjamin, and smote them with the edge of the sword, both the entire city, and the cattle, and all that they found. Moreover they set on fire all the cities which they found.
