Juízes 20
1 Então todos os filhos de Israel sairam, e a congregação se ajuntou, como se fôra um só homem, desde Dan até Berseba como também a terra de Gilead, ao Senhor em Mispah.
Then all the people of Israel came out as one man, from Dan to Beersheba, including the land of Gilead also, and they assembled together before Yahweh at Mizpah.
2 E dos cantos de todo o povo se apresentaram de todas as tribos de Israel na congregação do povo de Deus quatrocentos mil homens de pé que arrancavam a espada.
The leaders of all the people, of all the tribes of Israel, took their places in the assembly of the people of God—400,000 men on foot, who were ready to fight with the sword.
3 (Ouviram pois os filhos de Benjamin que os filhos de Israel haviam subido a Mispah) E disseram os filhos de Israel: falai, como sucedeu esta maldade?
Now the people of Benjamin heard that the people of Israel had gone up to Mizpah. The people of Israel said, “Tell us how this wicked thing happened.”
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;
The Levite, the husband of the woman who had been murdered, answered, “I came to Gibeah in the territory that belongs to Benjamin, I and my concubine, to spend 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.
During the night, the leaders of Gibeah attacked me, surrounding the house, intending to kill me. They raped my concubine, and she died.
6 Então peguei na minha concubina, e fi-la em pedaços, e a enviei por toda a terra da herança de Israel: porquanto fizeram tal malefício e loucura em Israel.
I took my concubine and cut her body into pieces, and sent them into each region of Israel's inheritance, because they have committed such wickedness and outrage in Israel.
7 Eis que todos sois filhos de Israel: dai aqui a vossa palavra e conselho.
Now, all you Israelites, give your advice and counsel here.”
8 Então todo o povo se levantou como um só homem, dizendo: Nenhum de nós irá à sua tenda nem nenhum de nós se retirará à sua casa.
All the people arose together as one man, and they said, “None of us will go to his tent, and none of us will return to his house!
9 Porém isto é o que faremos a Gibeah: procederemos contra ela por sorte.
But now this is what we must do to Gibeah: We will attack it as the lot directs us.
10 E tomaremos dez homens de cem de todas as tribos de Israel, e cem de mil, e mil de dez mil, para tomarem mantimento para o povo: para que, vindo eles a Gibeah de Benjamin, lhe façam conforme a toda a loucura que tem feito em Israel.
We will take ten men of a hundred throughout all the tribes of Israel, and one hundred of a thousand, and one thousand of ten thousand, to get provisions for these people, so that when they come to Gibeah in Benjamin, they may punish them for the wickedness they committed in Israel.”
11 Assim ajuntaram-se contra esta cidade todos os homens de Israel, aliados como um só homem.
So all the soldiers of Israel assembled against the city, as one man.
12 E as tribos de Israel enviaram homens por toda a tribo de Benjamin, dizendo: Que maldade é esta que se fez entre vós?
The tribes of Israel sent men through all the tribe of Benjamin, saying, “What is this wickedness that was done among you?
13 Dai-nos pois agora aqueles homens, filhos de Belial, que estão em Gibeah, para que os matemos, e tiremos de Israel o mal: porém os filhos de Benjamin não quizeram ouvir a voz de seus irmãos, os filhos de Israel.
Therefore, give us those wicked men of Gibeah, so we may put them to death, and so we will completely remove this evil from Israel.” But the Benjamites would not listen to the voice of their brothers, the people of Israel.
14 Antes os filhos de Benjamin se ajuntaram das cidades em Gibeah, para sairem a pelejar contra os filhos de Israel.
Then the people of Benjamin came together out of the cities to Gibeah to get ready to fight against the people of Israel.
15 E contaram-se naquele dia os filhos de Benjamin, das cidades, vinte e seis mil homens que arrancavam a espada, a fora os moradores de Gibeah, de que se contaram setecentos homens escolhidos.
The people of Benjamin brought together from their cities to fight on that day twenty-six thousand soldiers who were trained to fight with the sword. In addition, there were seven hundred of their chosen men from the inhabitants of Gibeah.
16 Entre todo este povo havia setecentos homens escolhidos, canhotos, os quais todos atiravam com a funda uma pedra a um cabelo, e não erravam.
Among all these soldiers were seven hundred chosen men who were left-handed. Each of them could sling a stone at a hair and not miss.
17 E contaram-se dos homens de Israel, a fora os de Benjamin, quatrocentos mil homens que arrancavam da espada, e todos eles homens de guerra.
The people of Israel, not counting the number from Benjamin, numbered 400,000 men, who were trained to fight with the sword. All of these were men of war.
18 E levantaram-se os filhos de Israel, e subiram a bethel, e perguntaram a Deus, e disseram: Quem dentre nós subirá o primeiro a pelejar contra Benjamin? E disse o Senhor: Judá subirá primeiro.
The people of Israel arose, went up to Bethel, and asked for advice from God. They asked, “Who first will attack the people of Benjamin for us?” Yahweh said, “Judah will attack first.”
19 Levantaram-se pois os filhos de Israel pela manhã, e acamparam-se contra Gibeah.
The people of Israel got up in the morning and they moved their camp near Gibeah.
20 E os homens de Israel sairam à peleja contra Benjamin: e ordenaram os homens de Israel contra eles a peleja ao pé de Gibeah.
The people of Israel went out to fight against Benjamin. They set up their battle positions against them at Gibeah.
21 Então os filhos de Benjamin sairam de Gibeah, e derribaram por terra naquele dia vinte e dois mil homens de Israel.
The people of Benjamin came out of Gibeah, and they killed twenty-two thousand men of the army of Israel on that day.
22 Porém esforçou-se o povo dos homens de Israel, e tornaram a ordenar a peleja no lugar onde no primeiro dia a tinham ordenado.
But the people of Israel strengthened themselves and they formed the battle line in the same place where they had taken positions on the first day.
23 E subiram os filhos de Israel, e choraram perante o Senhor até à tarde, e perguntaram ao Senhor, dizendo: tornar-me-ei a chegar à peleja contra os filhos de Benjamin, meu irmão? E disse o Senhor: Subi contra ele.
Then the people of Israel went up and they wept before Yahweh until evening, and they sought direction from Yahweh. They said, “Should we go again to fight against our brothers, the people of Benjamin?” Yahweh said, “Attack them!”
24 Chegaram-se pois os filhos de Israel aos filhos de Benjamin, no dia seguinte.
So the people of Israel went against the soldiers of Benjamin the second day.
25 Também os de Benjamin no dia seguinte lhes sairam ao encontro fora de Gibeah, e derribaram ainda por terra mais dezoito mil homens, todos dos que arrancavam a espada.
On the second day, Benjamin went out against them from Gibeah and they killed eighteen thousand men from the people of Israel. All were men who trained to fight with the sword.
26 Então todos os filhos de Israel, e todo o povo, subiram, e vieram a bethel, e choraram, e estiveram ali perante o Senhor, e jejuaram aquele dia até à tarde: e ofereceram holocaustos e ofertas pacíficas perante o Senhor.
Then all the soldiers of Israel and all the people went up to Bethel and wept, and there they sat before Yahweh and they fasted that day until the evening and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before Yahweh.
27 E os filhos de Israel perguntaram ao Senhor (porquanto a arca do concerto de Deus estava ali naqueles dias;
The people of Israel asked Yahweh—for the ark of the covenant of God was there in those days,
28 E Phineas, filho de Eleazar, filho de Aarão, estava perante ele naqueles dias), dizendo: Sairei ainda mais a pelejar contra os filhos de Benjamin, meu irmão, ou pararei? E disse o Senhor; Subi, que amanhã eu to entregarei na mão
and Phinehas, son of Eleazar son of Aaron, was serving before the ark in those days—”Should we go out to battle once more against the people of Benjamin, our brothers, or stop?” Yahweh said, “Attack, for tomorrow I will help you defeat them.”
29 Então Israel pôs emboscadas em redor de Gibeah.
So Israel set men in secret places around Gibeah.
30 E subiram os filhos de Israel ao terceiro dia contra os filhos de Benjamin, e ordenaram a peleja junto a Gibeah, como das outras vezes.
The people of Israel fought against the people of Benjamin for the third day, and they formed their battle lines against Gibeah as they had done before.
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 quais sobe para bethel, e o outro para Gibeah pelo campo), alguns trinta dos homens de Israel.
The people of Benjamin went and fought against the people, and they were drawn away from the city. They began to kill some of the people. There were about thirty men of Israel who died in the fields and on the roads. One of the roads went up to Bethel, and the other went to Gibeah.
32 Então os filhos de Benjamin disseram: Vão derrotados diante de nós como de antes. Porém os filhos de Israel disseram: Fujamos, e desviemo-los da cidade para os caminhos.
Then the people of Benjamin said, “They are defeated and they are running away from us, just as at first.” But the soldiers of Israel said, “Let us run back and draw them away from the city to the roads.”
33 Então todos os homens de Israel se levantaram do seu lugar, e ordenaram, a peleja em Baal-tamar: e a emboscada de Israel saiu do seu lugar, da caverna de Gibeah.
All the people of Israel rose up out of their places and formed themselves into lines for battle at Baal Tamar. Then the soldiers of Israel who had been hiding in secret places ran out from their places from Maareh Gibeah.
34 E dez mil homens escolhidos de todo o Israel vieram contra Gibeah, e a peleja se engraveceu: porém eles não sabiam que o mal lhes tocaria.
There came out against Gibeah ten thousand chosen men out of all Israel, and the fighting was fierce, but the Benjamites did not know that disaster was close to them.
35 Então feriu o Senhor a Benjamin diante de Israel; e desfizeram os filhos de Israel naquele dia vinte e cinco mil e cem homens de Benjamin, todos dos que arrancavam espada.
Yahweh defeated Benjamin before Israel. On that day, the soldiers of Israel killed 25,100 men of Benjamin. All these who died were those who had been trained to fight with the sword.
36 E viram os filhos de Benjamin que estavam feridos: porque os homens de Israel deram lugar aos benjamitas, porquanto estavam confiados na emboscada que haviam posto contra Gibeah.
So the soldiers of Benjamin saw they were defeated. The men of Israel had given ground to Benjamin, because they were counting on the men they had placed in hidden positions outside Gibeah.
37 E a emboscada se apressou, e acometeu a Gibeah: e a emboscada arremeteu contra ela, e feriu ao fio da espada toda a cidade.
Then the men who were hiding got up and hurried and they rushed into Gibeah, and they struck all the city with the edge of the sword.
38 E os homens de Israel tinham um sinal determinado com a emboscada, que era quando fizessem levantar da cidade uma grande nuvem de fumo.
The arranged signal between the soldiers of Israel and the men hiding in secret would be that a great cloud of smoke would rise up out of the city.
39 Viraram-se pois os homens de Israel na peleja; e já Benjamin começava a ferir, dos homens de Israel, quase trinta homens, atravessando-os, porque diziam: Já infalivelmente estão derrotados diante de nós, como na peleja passada.
When the signal was sent the soldiers of Israel would turn from the battle. Now Benjamin began to attack and they killed about thirty men of Israel, and they said, “It is sure that they are defeated before us, as in the first battle.”
40 Então a nuvem de fumo se começou a levantar da cidade, como uma coluna de fumo: e, virando-se Benjamin a olhar para traz de si, eis que o fumo da cidade subia ao céu.
But when a pillar of smoke began to rise up out of the city, the Benjamites turned and saw the smoke rising to the sky from the whole city.
41 E os homens de Israel viraram os rostos, e os homens de Benjamin pasmaram; porque viram que o mal lhes tocaria.
Then the people of Israel turned against them. The men of Benjamin were terrified, for they saw that disaster had come on them.
42 E viraram as costas diante dos homens de Israel, para o caminho do deserto; porém a peleja os apertou; e os das cidades os desfizeram no meio deles.
So they ran away from the people of Israel, escaping on the way to the wilderness. But the fighting overtook them. The soldiers of Israel came out of the cities and killed them where they stood.
43 E cercaram a Benjamin, e o seguiram, e descancadamente o pisaram, até diante de Gibeah, para o nascente do sol.
They surrounded the Benjamites, chased them and trampled them down at Nohah, all the way to the east side of Gibeah.
44 E cairam de Benjamin dezoito mil homens, todos estes sendo homens valentes.
From the tribe of Benjamin, eighteen thousand people died, all of them men who were distinguished in battle.
45 Então viraram as costas, e fugiram para o deserto, à penha de Rimmon; rabiscaram ainda deles pelos caminhos uns cinco mil homens: e de perto os seguiram até Gideon, e feriram deles dois mil homens.
They turned and fled toward the wilderness to the rock of Rimmon. The Israelites killed five thousand more of them along the roads. They kept going after them, following them closely all the way to Gidom, and there they killed two thousand more.
46 E foram todos os que de Benjamin naquele dia cairam vinte e cinco mil homens que arrancavam a espada, todos eles homens valentes.
All the soldiers of Benjamin who fell that day were twenty-five thousand—men who were trained to fight with the sword; all of them were distinguished in battle.
47 Porém seiscentos homens viraram as costas e fugiram para o deserto, à penha de Rimmon: e ficaram na penha de Rimmon quatro meses.
But six hundred men turned and fled to the wilderness, toward the rock of Rimmon. For four months they stayed at the rock of Rimmon.
48 E os homens de Israel voltaram para os filhos de Benjamin, e os feriram ao fio da espada, desde os homens da cidade até aos animais, até a tudo quanto se achava, como também a todas as cidades quantas se acharam puseram a fogo.
The soldiers of Israel turned back against the people of Benjamin and struck them with the edge of the sword, the city, including the animals and everything that they found. They also burned down every town in their path.
