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 went forth all the sons of Israel, and the assembly came together as one man, from Dan even to Beersheba with the land of Gilead, —unto Yahweh 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—all the tribes of Israel—presented themselves in the convocation of the people of God, —four hundred thousand footmen, that drew the 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?

And the sons of Benjamin heard that the sons of Israel had gone up to Mizpah. Then said the sons of Israel, Tell [us], In what manner was brought to pass this vileness?

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, husband of the woman that was cut in pieces, responded and said, —Into Gibeah that pertaineth to Benjamin, I entered, I and my concubine, to tarry the night.

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 owners of Gibeah rose up against me, and beset the house, for my sake, by night, —me, they thought to slay, and, my concubine, they so humbled, that she died.

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.

So I laid hold on my concubine, and cut her in pieces, and sent her throughout all the country of the inheritance of Israel, —because they had wrought lewdness and impiety, in Israel.

7 Eis que todos sois filhos d'Israel: dae aqui a vossa palavra e conselho.

Lo! ye all, are sons of Israel, —give your word and counsel, here.

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.

Then arose all the people, as one man, saying, —No man of us will go to his tent, and no man of us will turn aside to his house.

9 Porém isto é o que faremos a Gibeah: procederemos contra ella por sorte.

Now, therefore, this is the thing, that we will do to Gibeah, —[Go] 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, of all the tribes of Israel, and a hundred of a thousand, and a thousand of ten thousand, to fetch provisions for the people, —that they may do, when they come to Gibeah of Benjamin, according to all the impiety that it hath 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 together against the city, as one man knit together.

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 throughout all the divisions of Benjamin, saying, —What is this vile thing that hath been brought 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 sons of the Abandoned One—who are in Gibeah, that we may put them to death, and vileness be consumed out of Israel. But [the sons of] Benjamin would not hearken unto the voice of their brethren, 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.

Then did the sons of Benjamin gather themselves together out of the cities, unto Gibeah, —to go forth 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, that drew the sword, —besides, of the inhabitants of Gibeah, 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.

Out of all this people, were seven hundred chosen men, left-handed, —any one of whom could sling with a stone to a hair’s-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, were numbered, apart from Benjamin, four hundred thousand men, that drew the sword, —every one of these being a man 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 they arose, and went up to Bethel, and asked of God, and the sons of Israel said, Who shall go up for us first, to fight against the sons of Benjamin? And Yahweh said—Judah, first.

19 Levantaram-se pois os filhos d'Israel pela manhã, e acamparam-se contra Gibeah.

And the sons of Israel arose 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 forth, to fight against Benjamin, —so the men of Israel set themselves in array against them, to fight against Gibeah.

21 Então os filhos de Benjamin sairam de Gibeah, e derribaram por terra n'aquelle dia vinte e dois mil homens d'Israel.

Then came forth the sons of Benjamin out of Gibeah, —and laid low of Israel, on that day, twenty-two thousand men, to the ground.

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 again set themselves in array for battle in the place where they had set themselves in array on 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.

Now the sons of Israel had gone up, and wept before Yahweh, until the evening, and asked of Yahweh, saying, Shall I again draw near to battle against the sons of Benjamin, my brother? And Yahweh said, Go up against him.

24 Chegaram-se pois os filhos d'Israel aos filhos de Benjamin, no dia seguinte.

So the sons of Israel came near against the sons of Benjamin, on 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 came forth to meet them out of Gibeah, on the second day, and laid low, of the sons of Israel, yet eighteen thousand men, to the ground, —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 went up all the sons of Israel, and all the people, and came to Bethel, and wept, and tarried there before Yahweh, and fasted on that day, until the evening, —and caused to go up ascending-sacrifices and peace-offerings, before Yahweh.

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 Yahweh, —there, being the ark of the covenant of God, 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, son of Eleazar, son of Aaron, was standing before it in those days, saying: Shall I yet again go forth to battle, against the sons of Benjamin, my brother, or shall I forbear? And Yahweh said—Go up, for, to-morrow, will I deliver him into thy hand.

29 Então Israel poz emboscadas em redor de Gibeah.

And Israel set liers in wait 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.

So the sons of Israel went up against the sons of Benjamin, on the third day, —and set themselves in array against Gibeah, as time after time.

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 came forth against the people, they were drawn away from the city, —and began to smite of the people, slaying as time after time, in the highways, whereof, one, goeth up to Bethel, and, the other, to Gibeah in the field, about thirty men in 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.

Then said the sons of Benjamin, They are, being smitten, before us, as at the first. But the sons of Israel had said—Let us flee, and draw them away from the city, into 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 in Baal-tamar, —and, the liers in wait of Israel, began to break forth out of their place, out of the forest of Gibeah.

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 over against Gibeah ten thousand chosen men, out of all Israel, and the battle was severe, —they, not knowing that disaster was overtaking 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.

Thus Yahweh smote Benjamin before Israel, and the sons of Israel destroyed in Benjamin, that day, twenty-five thousand and one 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, —and that the men of Israel had given place to Benjamin, because they trusted to the liers in wait, whom they had set near 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 liers in wait, hasted, and rushed upon Gibeah, —and the liers in wait marched forward, 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 liers in wait, had been, —to cause a great cloud of smoke to ascend 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.

So, when the men of Israel turned in the battle, —and, the Benjamites, began to smite and slay of the sons of Israel, about thirty men, for they said, Yea! they are, smitten, 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.

then, the cloud, began to ascend out of the city, a pillar of smoke, —and the Benjamites looked behind them, and lo! the whole city flamed up towards the heavens.

41 E os homens d'Israel viraram os rostos, e os homens de Benjamin pasmaram; porque viram que o mal lhes tocaria.

And, when, the men of Israel, turned, then were the men of Benjamin dismayed, —for they saw that disaster had overtaken 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.

And, when they turned before the men of Israel unto the way of the desert, the battle, over took them, —while, as for them that came out of the cities, they began to destroy them in their midst: —

43 E cercaram a Benjamin, e o seguiram, e descancadamente o pisaram, até diante de Gibeah, para o nascente do sol.

they hemmed in the Benjamites, they pursued them, with ease, trode they them down, —as far as over against Gibeah, towards sunrise.

44 E cairam de Benjamin dezoito mil homens, todos estes sendo homens valentes.

So there fell of Benjamin, eighteen thousand men, —all these being men of valour.

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, when they turned and fled towards the desert unto the cliff Rimmon, then gleaned they of them, in the highways, five thousand men, —and they followed hard after them as far as 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 then it came to pass that, all the fallen of Benjamin, were twenty-five thousand men, that drew the sword, on that day, —all these being men of valour.

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 there turned and fled, towards the desert, unto the cliff Rimmon, six hundred men, —who abode in the cliff 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.

Thus, the men of Israel, turned against the sons of Benjamin, and smote them with the edge of the sword, beginning with the city, each and every one down to the beast, even to every one that was met with, —moreover, all the cities they came to, they set on fire.
