Juízes 2
1 E subiu o anjo do Senhor de Gilgal a Bochim, e disse: Do Egito vos fiz subir, e vos trouxe à terra que a vossos pais tinha jurado e dito: Nunca invalidarei o meu concerto convosco.
Now the angel of the Lord came up from Gilgal to Bochim. And he said, I took you out of Egypt, guiding you into the land which I gave by an oath to your fathers; and I said, My agreement with you will never be broken by me:
2 E, quanto a vós, não fareis concerto com os moradores desta terra, antes derrubareis os seus altares: mas vós não obedecestes à minha voz. Porque fizestes isto
And you are to make no agreement with the people of this land; you are to see that their altars are broken down: but you have not given ear to my voice: what have you done?
3 Pelo que também eu disso: Não os expelirei de diante de vós: antes estarão às vossas ilhargas, e os seus deuses vos serão por laço
And so I have said, I will not send them out from before you; but they will be a danger to you, and their gods will be a cause of falling to you.
4 E sucedeu que, falando o anjo do Senhor estas palavras a todos os filhos de Israel, o povo levantou a sua voz e chorou.
Now on hearing these words which the angel of the Lord said to all the children of Israel, the people gave themselves up to loud crying and weeping.
5 Pelo que chamaram àquele lugar, Bochim: e sacrificaram ali ao Senhor.
And they gave that place the name of Bochim, and made offerings there to the Lord.
6 E havendo Josué despedido o povo, foram-se os filhos de Israel, cada um à sua herdade, para possuirem a terra.
And Joshua let the people go away, and the children of Israel went, every man to his heritage, to take the land for themselves.
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 aquela grande obra do Senhor, que fizera a Israel.
And the people were true to the Lord all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the responsible men who were still living after the death of Joshua, and had seen all the great work of the Lord which he had done for Israel.
8 Faleceu porém Josué, filho de Nun, servo do Senhor, da idade de cento e dez anos;
And death came to Joshua, the son of Nun, the servant of the Lord, he being a hundred and ten years old.
9 E sepultaram-no no termo da sua herdade, em Timnath-heres, no monte de Ephraim, para o norte do monte de Gaas.
And they put his body in the earth in the land of his heritage in Timnath-heres, in the hill-country of Ephraim to the north of Mount Gaash.
10 E foi também congregada toda aquela geração a seus pais, e outra geração após deles se levantou, que não conhecia ao Senhor, nem tão pouco a obra, que fizera a Israel
And in time death overtook all that generation; and another generation came after them, having no knowledge of the Lord or of the things which he had done for Israel.
11 Então fizeram os filhos de Israel o que parecia mal aos olhos do Senhor: e serviram os baalins.
And the children of Israel did evil in the eyes of the Lord and became servants to the Baals;
12 E deixaram ao Senhor Deus de seus pais, que os tirara da terra do Egito, e foram-se após de outros deuses, dentre os deuses das gentes, que havia ao redor deles, e encurvaram-se a eles: e provocaram ao Senhor a ira.
And they gave up the Lord, the God of their fathers, who had taken them out of the land of Egypt, and went after other gods, the gods of the peoples round about them, worshipping them and moving the Lord to wrath.
13 Porquanto deixaram ao Senhor: e serviram a Baal e a Astaroth.
And they gave up the Lord, and became the servants of Baal and the Astartes.
14 Pelo que a ira do Senhor se acendeu contra Israel, e os deu na mão dos roubadores, e os roubaram: e os entregou na mão dos seus inimigos ao redor: e não puderam mais estar em pé diante dos seus inimigos.
And the wrath of the Lord was burning against Israel, and he gave them up into the hands of those who violently took their property, and into the hands of their haters all round them, so that they were forced to give way before them.
15 Por onde quer que saiam, a mão do Senhor era contra eles para mal, como o Senhor tinha dito, e como o Senhor lho tinha jurado: e estavam em grande aperto.
Wherever they went out, the hand of the Lord was against them for evil, as the Lord had taken his oath it would be; and things became very hard for them.
16 E levantou o Senhor juízes, que os livraram da mão dos que os roubaram.
Then the Lord gave them judges, as their saviours from the hands of those who were cruel to them.
17 Porém tão pouco ouviram aos juízes, anteu fornicaram após outros deuses, e encurvaram-se a eles: depressa se desviaram do caminho, por onde andaram seus pais, ouvindo os mandamentos do Senhor; o que eles assim não fizeram.
But still they would not give ear to their judges, but went after other gods and gave them worship; quickly turning from the way in which their fathers had gone, keeping the orders of the Lord; but they did not do so.
18 E, quando o Senhor lhes levantava juízes, o Senhor era com o juiz, e os livrava da mão dos seus inimigos, todos os dias daquele juiz; porquanto o Senhor se arrependia pelo seu gemido, por causa dos que os apertavam e oprimiam.
And whenever the Lord gave them judges, then the Lord was with the judge, and was their saviour from the hands of their haters all the days of the judge; for the Lord was moved by their cries of grief because of those who were cruel to them.
19 Porém sucedia que, falecendo o juiz, tornavam e se corrompiam mais do que seus pais, andando após de outros deuses, servindo-os, e encurvando-se a eles: nada deixavam das suas obras, nem do seu duro caminho.
But whenever the judge was dead, they went back and did more evil than their fathers, going after other gods, to be their servants and their worshippers; giving up nothing of their sins and their hard-hearted ways.
20 Pelo que a ira do Senhor se acendeu contra Israel; e disse: Porquanto este povo traspassou o meu concerto, que tinha ordenado a seus pais, e não deram ouvidos à minha voz.
And the wrath of the Lord was burning against Israel, and he said, Because this nation has not been true to my agreement which I made with their fathers, and has not given ear to my voice;
21 Tão pouco desapossarei mais de diante deles a nenhuma das nações, que Josué deixou, morrendo;
From now on I will not go on driving out from before them any of the nations which at the death of Joshua were still living in this land;
22 Para por elas provar a Israel, se houvessem de guardar o caminho do Senhor, para por ele andarem, como seus pais o guardaram, ou não.
In order to put Israel to the test, and see if they will keep the way of the Lord, walking in it as their fathers did, or not.
23 Assim o Senhor deixou ficar aquelas nações, e não as desterrou logo, nem as entregou na mão de Josué.
So the Lord let those nations go on living in the land, not driving them out quickly, and did not give them up into the hands of Joshua.
