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 which the Lord left to prove Israel with them, all that had not known the wars of Chanaan.
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 for the sake of the generations of Israel, to teach them war, only the men before them knew them not.
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.
The five lordships of the Phylistines, and every Chananite, and the Sidonian, and the Evite who lived in Libanus from the mount of Aermon to Laboemath.
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 [this] was done in order to prove Israel by them, to know whether they would obey the commands of the Lord, which he charged 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 lived in the midst of the Chananite, and the Chettite, and the Amorite, and the Pherezite, and the Evite, and the Jebusite.
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 for wives to themselves, and they 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 the Lord, and forgot the Lord their God, and served Baalim and the groves.
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 Lord was very angry with Israel, and sold them into the hand of Chusarsathaim king of Syria of the rivers: and the children of Israel served Chusarsathaim 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 the Lord; and the Lord raised up a savior to Israel, and he saved them, Gothoniel the son of Kenez, the brother of Chaleb younger than himself.
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 the Lord came upon him, and he judged Israel; and he went out to war against Chusarsathaim: and the Lord delivered into his hand Chusarsathaim king of Syria of the rivers, and his hand prevailed against Chusarsathaim.
11 Então a terra sossegou quarenta anos; e Othniel, filho de Kenaz, faleceu.
And the land was quiet forty years; and Gothoniel the son of Kenez 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 continued to do evil before the Lord: and the Lord strengthened Eglom king of Moab against Israel, because they had done evil before the Lord.
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 himself all the children of Ammon and Amalec, and went and struck Israel, and 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 Eglom 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 the Lord; and he raised up to them a savior, Aod the son of Gera a son of Jemeni, a man who used both hands alike: and the children of Israel sent gifts by his hand to Eglom 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 Aod made himself a dagger of two edges, of a span long, and he girded it under his cloak upon his right thigh.
17 E levou aquele presente a Eglon, rei dos moabitas; e era Eglon homem mui gordo.
And he went, and brought the presents to Eglom king of Moab, and Eglom [was] a very handsome man.
18 E sucedeu que, acabando de entregar o presente, despediu a gente que trouxera o presente.
And it came to pass when [Aod] had made an end of offering his gifts, that he dismissed those that brought the gifts.
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.
And he himself returned from the quarries that are by Galgal; and Aod said, I have a secret errand to you, O king! and Eglom said to him, Be silent: and he sent away from his presence all who waited upon 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 Aod went in to him; and he sat in his own upper summer chamber quite alone; and Aod said, I have a message from God to you, O king: and Eglom rose up from his throne near him.
21 Então Ehud estendeu a sua mão esquerda, e lançou mão da espada da sua coxa direita, e lha cravou no ventre,
And it came to pass as he arose, that Aod stretched forth his left hand, and took the dagger off his right thigh, and plunged 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 drove in also the haft after the blade, and the fat closed in upon the blade, for he drew not out the dagger from his belly.
23 Então Ehud saiu à sala, e cerrou sobre ele as portas do cenáculo, e as fechou.
And Aod went out to the porch, and passed out by the appointed [guards], and shut the doors of the chamber upon him, and locked [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 he went out: and Eglom's servants came, and saw, and behold, the doors of the upper chamber [were] locked; and they said, Does he not uncover 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, there was no one that opened the doors of the upper chamber; and they took the key, and opened them; and, behold, their lord was fallen down dead upon the earth.
26 E Ehud escapou, enquanto eles se demoraram: porque ele passou pelas imagens de escultura, e escapou para Seirath.
And Aod escaped while they were in a tumult, and no one paid attention to him; and he passed the quarries, and escaped to Setirotha.
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 Aod came into the land of Israel, that he blew the horn in mount Ephraim, and the children of Israel came down with him from the mountain, and he [was] 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, Come down after me, for the Lord God has delivered our enemies, even Moab, into our hand; and they went down after him, and seized on the fords of Jordan before Moab, and he did not suffer a man 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 struck Moab on that day about ten thousand men, every [lusty] person and every mighty man; and not a man escaped.
30 Assim foi subjugado Moab naquele dia debaixo da mão de Israel: e a terra sossegou oitenta anos.
So Moab was humbled in that day under the hand of Israel, and the land had rest eighty years; and Aod judged them till he died.
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 rose up Samegar the son of Dinach, and struck the Philistines to the number of six hundred men with a plowshare [such as is drawn by] oxen; and he too delivered Israel.
