Juízes 3
1 Estas pois são as nações, que o Senhor deixou ficar, para por elas provar a Israel, a saber, a todos os que não sabiam de todas as guerras de Canaan,
And these are the nations that Jehovah left, to prove Israel by them, all that had not known all the wars of Canaan;
2 Tão somente para que as gerações dos filhos de Israel delas soubessem (para lhes ensinar a guerra), pelo menos os que de antes não sabiam delas:
only that the generations of the children of Israel might know war by learning it, at the least those who before had known nothing thereof:
3 Cinco príncipes dos philisteus, e todos os cananeus, e sidônios, e heveus, que habitavam nas montanhas do líbano, desde o monte de Baal-hermon, até à entrada de Hamath.
five lord ships of the Philistines, and all the Canaanites, and the Sidonians, and the Hivites that dwell on mount Lebanon; from mount Baal-Hermon unto the entering into Hamath.
4 Estes pois ficaram, para por eles provar a Israel, para saber se dariam ouvidos aos mandamentos do Senhor, que tinha ordenado a seus pais, pelo ministério de Moisés.
And they were to prove Israel by them, to know whether they would obey the commandments of Jehovah, which he commanded their fathers by the hand of Moses.
5 Habitando pois os filhos de Israel no meio dos cananeus, dos heteus, e amorreus, e pherezeus, e heveus, e jebuseus,
And the children of Israel dwelt among the Canaanites: Hittites and Amorites and Perizzites and Hivites and Jebusites;
6 Tomaram de suas filhas para si por mulheres, e deram aos filhos deles as suas filhas; e serviram a seus deuses.
and they took their daughters as wives, and gave their daughters to their sons, and served their gods.
7 E os filhos de Israel fizeram o que parecia mal aos olhos do Senhor, e se esqueceram do Senhor seu Deus: e serviram aos baalins e a Astaroth.
And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of Jehovah, and forgot Jehovah their God, and served the Baals and the Asherahs.
8 Então a ira do Senhor se acendeu contra Israel, e ele os vendeu em mão de Cusan-risathaim, rei de Mesopotâmia: e os filhos de Israel serviram a Cusan-risathaim oito anos.
And the anger of Jehovah was hot against Israel, and he sold them into the hand of Chushan-rishathaim king of Mesopotamia; and the children of Israel served Chushan-rishathaim eight years.
9 E os filhos de Israel clamaram ao Senhor, e o Senhor levantou aos filhos de Israel um libertador, e os libertou, a Othniel, filho de Kenaz, irmão de Caleb, mais novo do que ele.
And the children of Israel cried to Jehovah; and Jehovah raised up a saviour to the children of Israel, who saved them, Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother.
10 E veio sobre ele o espírito do Senhor, e julgou a Israel, e saiu à peleja; e o Senhor deu na sua mão a Cusan-risathaim, rei da Síria; e a sua mão prevaleceu contra Cusan-risathaim.
And the Spirit of Jehovah was upon him, and he judged Israel; and he went out to war, and Jehovah gave Chushan-rishathaim king of Syria into his hand; and his hand prevailed against Chushan-rishathaim.
11 Então a terra sossegou quarenta anos; e Othniel, filho de Kenaz, faleceu.
And the land had rest forty years; and Othniel the son of Kenaz died.
12 Porém os filhos de Israel tornaram a fazer o que parecia mal aos olhos do Senhor: então o Senhor esforçou a Eglon, rei dos moabitas, contra Israel: porquanto fizeram o que parecia mal aos olhos do Senhor.
And the children of Israel again did evil in the sight of Jehovah; and Jehovah strengthened Eglon the king of Moab against Israel, because they did evil in the sight of Jehovah.
13 E ajuntou consigo aos filhos de Ammon e aos amalequitas, e foi, e feriu a Israel, e tomaram a cidade das palmeiras.
And he gathered to him the children of Ammon and Amalek and went and smote Israel, and they took possession of the city of palm-trees.
14 E os filhos de Israel serviram a Eglon, rei dos moabitas, dezoito anos.
And the children of Israel served Eglon the king of Moab eighteen years.
15 Então os filhos de Israel clamaram ao Senhor, e o Senhor lhes levantou um libertador, a Ehud, filho de Gera, filho de Jemini, homem canhoto. E os filhos de Israel enviaram pela sua mão um presente a Eglon, rei dos moabitas.
And the children of Israel cried to Jehovah, and Jehovah raised them up a saviour, Ehud the son of Gera, the Benjaminite, a man left-handed. And by him the children of Israel sent a gift to Eglon king of Moab.
16 E Ehud fez uma espada de dois fios, do comprimento de um côvado: e cingiu-a por debaixo dos seus vestidos, à sua coxa direita.
And Ehud made him a sword having two edges, it was of a cubit length; and he girded it under his raiment upon his right hip.
17 E levou aquele presente a Eglon, rei dos moabitas; e era Eglon homem mui gordo.
And he brought the gift to Eglon king of Moab; now Eglon was a very fat man.
18 E sucedeu que, acabando de entregar o presente, despediu a gente que trouxera o presente.
And it came to pass when he had ended offering the gift, he sent away the people that had borne the gift.
19 Porém voltou das imagens de escultura que estão ao pé de Gilgal, e disse: Tenho uma palavra secreta para ti, ó rei. O qual disse: Cala-te. E todos os que lhe assistiam sairam de diante dele.
But he turned from the graven images that were by Gilgal, and said, I have a secret word unto thee, O king. And he said, Be silent! And all that stood by him went out from him.
20 E Ehud entrou a ele, a um cenáculo fresco, que para si só tinha, onde estava assentado, e disse Ehud: Tenho para ti uma palavra de Deus. E levantou-se da cadeira.
And Ehud came to him; now he was sitting in the cool upper-chamber, which was for him alone. And Ehud said, I have a word from God unto thee. And he arose from the seat.
21 Então Ehud estendeu a sua mão esquerda, e lançou mão da espada da sua coxa direita, e lha cravou no ventre,
Then Ehud put forth his left hand, and took the sword from his right hip, and thrust it into his belly;
22 De tal maneira que entrou até à empunhadura após da folha, e a gordura encerrou a folha (porque não tirou a espada do ventre): e saiu-se-lhe o excremento.
and the haft also went in after the blade, and the fat closed upon the blade; for he did not draw the sword out of his belly, and it came out between the legs.
23 Então Ehud saiu à sala, e cerrou sobre ele as portas do cenáculo, e as fechou.
And Ehud went out into the portico, and shut the doors of the upper-chamber upon him, and bolted them.
24 E, saindo ele, vieram os seus servos, e viram, e eis que as portas do cenáculo estavam fechadas; e disseram: Sem dúvida está cobrindo seus pés na recâmara do cenáculo fresco.
And when he was gone out, the servants of the [king] came and saw, and behold, the doors of the upper-chamber were bolted. And they said, Surely he is covering his feet in the summer chamber.
25 E, esperando até se enfastiarem, eis que não abria as portas do cenáculo; então tomaram a chave, e abriram, e eis aqui seu senhor estendido morto em terra.
And they waited till they were ashamed; and behold, he opened not the doors of the upper-chamber, and they took the key, and opened [them], and behold, their lord lay dead on the earth.
26 E Ehud escapou, enquanto eles se demoraram: porque ele passou pelas imagens de escultura, e escapou para Seirath.
And Ehud had escaped while they lingered, and passed beyond the graven images, and escaped to Seirah.
27 E sucedeu que, entrando ele, tocou a buzina nas montanhas de Ephraim: e os filhos de Israel desceram com ele das montanhas, e ele adiante deles,
And it came to pass when he was come, that he blew a trumpet in the hill-country of Ephraim, and the children of Israel went down with him from the hill-country, and he before them.
28 E disse-lhes: Segui-me: porque o Senhor vos tem dado a vossos inimigos, os moabitas, na vossa mão: e desceram após dele, e tomaram os vaus do Jordão a Moab, e a nenhum deixaram passar.
And he said to them, Follow after me, for Jehovah has delivered your enemies the Moabites into your hand. And they went down after him, and took the fords of the Jordan toward Moab, and suffered no one to pass over.
29 E naquele tempo feriram dos moabitas uns dez mil homens, todos corpulentos, e todos homens valorosos: e não escapou nenhum.
And they slew the Moabites at that time, about ten thousand men, all fat, and all men of valour, and not a man escaped.
30 Assim foi subjugado Moab naquele dia debaixo da mão de Israel: e a terra sossegou oitenta anos.
And Moab was subdued that day under the hand of Israel. And the land had rest eighty years.
31 Depois dele foi Samgar, filho de Anath, que feriu a seiscentos homens dos philisteus com uma aguilhada de bois: e também ele libertou a Israel.
And after him was Shamgar the son of Anath; and he smote the Philistines, six hundred men, with an ox-goad. And he also delivered Israel.
