Juízes 4
1 Porém os filhos d'Israel tornaram a fazer o que parecia mal aos olhos do Senhor, depois de fallecer Ehud.
After Ehud died, the Israelites once again did what was evil in the Lord's sight.
2 E vendeu-os o Senhor em mão de Jabin, rei de Canaan, que reinava em Hazor: e Sisera era o capitão do seu exercito, o qual então habitava em Haroseth dos gentios.
So the Lord sold them to Jabin, king of Canaan, who ruled from Hazor. His army commander was Sisera, who lived in Harosheth-hagoyim.
3 Então os filhos d'Israel clamaram ao Senhor, porquanto elle tinha novecentos carros ferrados, e vinte annos opprimia os filhos d'Israel violentamente.
The Israelites cried out to the Lord to help them, for Sisera had nine hundred iron chariots and he cruelly mistreated them for twenty years.
4 E Debora, mulher prophetiza, mulher de Lappidoth, julgava a Israel n'aquelle tempo.
Deborah, wife of Lappidoth, was a prophet, and she was leading Israel as a judge at that time.
5 E habitava debaixo das palmeiras de Debora, entre Rama e Beth-el, nas montanhas d'Ephraim: e os filhos d'Israel subiam a ella a juizo.
She would sit under Deborah's Palm between Ramah and Bethel in the hill country of Ephraim, and the Israelites would go to her for her decisions.
6 E enviou, e chamou a Barac, filho de Abinoam de Kedes de Naphtali, e disse-lhe: Porventura o Senhor Deus d'Israel não deu ordem, dizendo: Vae, e attrahe gente ao monte de Tabor, e toma comtigo dez mil homens dos filhos de Naphtali e dos filhos de Zebulon?
She sent for Barak, son of Abinoam, from the town of Kedesh in Naphtali and told him, “The Lord, the God of Israel, orders you: ‘Go to Mount Tabor, and take with you ten thousand men of Naphtali and Zebulun, and lead them there.
7 E attrahirei a ti para o ribeiro de Kison a Sisera, capitão do exercito de Jabin, com os seus carros, e com a sua multidão: e o darei na tua mão.
I will bring Sisera, the commander of Jabin's army, with his chariots and his troops to the Kishon River, and hand him over to you.”
8 Então lhe disse Barac: Se fôres comigo, irei: porém, se não fôres comigo, não irei.
Barak replied, “If you come with me, I'll go; but if you don't come with me, I won't go.”
9 E disse ella: Certamente irei comtigo, porém não será tua a honra pelo caminho que levas; pois á mão de uma mulher o Senhor venderá a Sisera. E Debora se levantou, e partiu com Barac para Kedes
“I'll definitely go with you,” Deborah answered, “but if you're going to take that route then you won't receive any respect, because the Lord will give Sisera into the hands of a woman.” Deborah got up and went with Barak to Kedesh.
10 Então Barac convocou a Zebulon e a Naphtali em Kedes, e subiu com dez mil homens após de si: e Debora subiu com elle,
Barak called up the armies of Zebulun and Naphtali, and ten thousand men assembled under his command. Deborah was also there with him.
11 E Heber, keneo, se tinha apartado dos keneos, dos filhos de Hobab, sogro de Moysés: e tinha estendido as suas tendas até ao carvalho de Saanaim, que está junto a Kedes.
(Heber the Kenite had separated from the other Kenites, the descendants of Hobab, the father-in-law of Moses, and had set up his tent at the large tree in Zaanannim, which is near Kedesh.)
12 E annunciaram a Sisera que Barac, filho de Abinoam, tinha subido ao monte de Tabor.
Sisera heard that Barak, son of Abinoam, had gone to Mount Tabor,
13 E Sisera convocou todos os seus carros, novecentos carros ferrados, e todo o povo que estava com elle, desde Haroseth dos gentios até ao ribeiro de Kison.
so he summoned all his nine hundred iron chariots and all his men to come from Harosheth-hagoyim to the Kishon River.
14 Então disse Debora a Barac: Levanta-te; porque este é o dia em que o Senhor tem dado a Sisera na tua mão: porventura o Senhor não saiu diante de ti? Barac pois desceu do monte de Tabor, e dez mil homens após d'elle.
Then Deborah told Barak, “Get going! Today the Lord has handed Sisera to you. Didn't the Lord march out ahead of you?” So Barak went down from Mount Tabor, accompanied by ten thousand men.
15 E o Senhor derrotou a Sisera, e a todos os seus carros, e a todo o seu exercito ao fio da espada, diante de Barac: e Sisera desceu do carro, e fugiu a pé.
When Barak attacked, the Lord threw Sisera and all his chariots and warriors into a confused panic. Sisera jumped down from his chariot and ran away.
16 E Barac os seguiu após dos carros, e após do exercito, até Haroseth dos gentios: e todo o exercito de Sisera caiu ao fio da espada, até não ficar um só.
Barak chased after the chariots and troops all the way to Harosheth-hagoyim. The whole of Sisera's army was killed—not a single man survived.
17 Porém Sisera fugiu a pé á tenda de Jael, mulher de Heber, keneo: porquanto havia paz entre Jabin, rei de Hazor, e a casa de Heber, keneo.
In the meantime Sisera had run away to the tent of Jael, the wife of Heber the Kenite, because there was a peace treaty between Jabin, king of Hazor, and the family of Heber the Kenite.
18 E Jael saiu ao encontro de Sisera, e disse-lhe: Retira-te, senhor meu, retira-te a mim, não temas. Retirou-se a ella á tenda, e cobriu-o com uma coberta.
Jael went to meet Sisera and told him, “Come on in, my lord, come in with me. Don't be afraid.” So he went into her tent, and she covered him with a thick blanket.
19 Então elle lhe disse: Dá-me, peço-te, de beber uma pouca d'agua; porque tenho sede. Então ella abriu um odre de leite, e deu-lhe de beber, e o cobriu.
“Please give me a bit of water to drink, because I'm thirsty,” Sisera asked her. So she opened a skin of milk, let him have a drink, and then covered him up again.
20 E elle lhe disse: Põe-te á porta da tenda; e ha de ser que se alguem vier, e te perguntar, e disser: Ha aqui alguem? responde tu então: Não.
“Stand guard at the tent door,” he told her. “If anybody comes and asks you, ‘Is there is anyone here?’ just say no.”
21 Então Jael, mulher d'Heber, tomou uma estaca da tenda, e lançou mão d'um martello, e foi-se mansamente a elle, e lhe cravou a estaca na fonte, e a pregou na terra, estando elle porém carregado d'um profundo somno, e já cançado; e assim morreu.
But Jael, Heber's wife, picked up a tent peg and a hammer and crept quietly over to him where he lay fast sleep and exhausted. She drove the tent peg through his temple and into the ground, and he died.
22 E eis que, seguindo Barac a Sisera, Jael lhe saiu ao encontro, e disse-lhe: Vem, e mostrar-te-hei o homem que buscas. E veiu a ella, e eis-que Sisera jazia morto, e a estaca na fonte.
So when Barak came past, hunting for Sisera, Jael went out to meet him, and said, “Come here, and I'll show you the man you're looking for.” He went in with her, and there lay Sisera, dead, with the tent peg through his temple.
23 Assim Deus n'aquelle dia sujeitou a Jabin, rei de Canaan, diante dos filhos de Israel.
That day God defeated Jabin, king of Canaan, in the presence of the Israelites.
24 E continuou a mão dos filhos de Israel a proseguir e endurecer-se sobre Jabin, rei de Canaan: até que exterminaram a Jabin, rei de Canaan.
From then on Israel grew ever more powerful until the destroyed Jabin, king of Hazor.
