< Juízes 1 >

1 E sucedeu, depois da morte de Josué, que os filhos de Israel perguntaram ao Senhor, dizendo: Quem dentre nós primeiro subirá aos cananeus, para pelejar contra eles?
And it came to pass after the death of Joshua, that the children of Israel enquired of the Lord, saying, Who shall go up for us first against the Chananites, to fight against them?
2 E disse o Senhor: Judá subirá: eis que lhe dei esta terra na sua mão.
And the Lord said, Judas shall go up: behold, I have delivered the land into his hand.
3 Então disse Judá a Simeão, seu irmão: Sobe comigo à minha sorte, e pelejemos contra os cananeus, e também eu contigo subirei à tua sorte. E Simeão partiu com ele.
And Judas said to his brother Symeon, Come up with me into my lot, and let us array ourselves against the Chananites, and I also will go with thee into thy lot: and Symeon went with him.
4 E subiu Judá, e o Senhor lhe deu na sua mão os cananeus e os pherezeus: e feriram deles em Bezek a dez mil homens.
And Judas went up; and the Lord delivered the Chananite and the Pherezite into their hands, and they smote them in Bezek to [the number of] ten thousand men.
5 E acharam a Adoni-bezek em Bezek, e pelejaram contra ele: e feriram aos cananeus e aos pherezeus.
And they overtook Adonibezek in Bezek, and fought against him; and they smote the Chananite and the Pherezite.
6 Porém Adoni-bezek fugiu, e o seguiram, e o prenderam, e lhe cortaram os dedos polegares das mãos e dos pés.
And Adonibezek fled, and they pursued after him, and took him, and cut off his thumbs and his great toes.
7 Então disse Adoni-bezek: Setenta reis com os dedos polegares das mãos e dos pés cortados apanhavam as migalhas debaixo da minha mesa: assim como eu fiz, assim Deus me pagou. E o trouxeram a Jerusalém, e morreu ali.
And Adonibezek said, Seventy kings, having their thumbs and their great toes cut off, gathered [their food] under my table: as I therefore have done, so God has recompensed me: and they brought him to Jerusalem, and he died there.
8 Porque os filhos de Judá pelejaram contra Jerusalém, e a tomaram, e a feriram ao fio da espada: e a cidade puseram a fogo.
And the children of Judas fought against Jerusalem, and took it, and smote with the edge of the sword, and they burnt the city with fire.
9 E depois os filhos de Judá desceram a pelejar contra os cananeus que habitavam nas montanhas, e no sul, e nas planícies.
And afterwards the children of Judas went down to fight with the Chananite dwelling in the hill country, and the south, and the plain country.
10 E partiu Judá contra os cananeus que habitavam em Hebron (era porém de antes o nome de Hebron Quiriath-arba): e feriram a Sesai, e a Ahiman e a Talmai.
And Judas went to the Chananite who dwelt in Chebron; and Chebron came out against him; [and the name of Chebron before was Cariatharbocsepher: ] and they smote Sessi, and Achiman, and Tholmi, children of Enac.
11 E dali partiu contra os moradores de Debir: e era de antes o nome de Debir Quiriath-sepher.
And they went up thence to the inhabitants of Dabir; but the name of Dabir was before Cariathsepher, the city of Letters.
12 E disse Caleb: Quem ferir a Quiriath-sepher, e a tomar, lhe darei a minha filha Acsa por mulher.
And Chaleb said, Whosoever shall smite the city of Letters, and shall first take it, I will give to him Ascha my daughter to wife.
13 E tomou-a Othniel, filho de Kenaz, o irmão de Caleb, mais novo do que ele: e Caleb lhe deu a sua filha Acsa por mulher.
And Gothoniel the younger son of Kenez the brother of Chaleb took it; and Chaleb gave him his daughter Ascha to wife.
14 E sucedeu que, vindo ela a ele, o persuadiu que pedisse um campo a seu pai; e ela se apeou do jumento, saltando: e Caleb lhe disse: Que é o que tens?
And it came to pass as she went in, that Gothoniel urged her to ask a field of her father; and she murmured and cried from off her ass, Thou hast sent me forth into a south land: and Chaleb said to her, What is thy request?
15 E ela lhe disse: Dá-me uma benção; pois me deste uma terra seca, dá-me também fontes de águas. E Caleb lhe deu as fontes superiores e as fontes inferiores.
And Ascha said to him, Give me, I pray thee, a blessing, for thou hast sent me forth into a south land, and thou shalt give me the ransom of water: and Chaleb gave her according to her heart the ransom of the upper [springs] and the ransom of the low [springs].
16 Também os filhos do keneu, sogro de Moisés, subiram da cidade das palmeiras com os filhos de Judá ao deserto de Judá, que está ao sul de Arad: e foram, e habitaram com o povo.
And the children of Jothor the Kenite the father-in-law of Moses went up from the city of palm-trees with the children of Judas, to the wilderness that is in the south of Juda, which is at the descent of Arad, and they dwelt with the people.

And Judas went with Symeon his brother, and smote the Chananite that inhabited Sepheth, and they utterly destroyed them; and they called the name of the city Anathema.

But Judas did not inherit Gaza nor her coasts, nor Ascalon nor her coasts, nor Accaron nor her coasts, [nor] Azotus nor the lands around it.
19 E foi o Senhor com Judá, e despovoou as montanhas: porém não expeliu aos moradores do vale, porquanto tinham carros ferrados.

24 E viram os espias a um homem, que saía da cidade, e lhe disseram: Ora mostra-nos a entrada da cidade, e usaremos contigo de beneficência.
And the spies looked, and behold, a man went out of the city, and they took him; and they said to him, Shew us the way into the city, and we will deal mercifully with thee.
