Juízes 4
1 Porém os filhos de Israel tornaram a fazer o que parecia mal aos olhos do Senhor, depois de falecer Ehud.
After Ehud died, the people of Israel once again did what was evil in the sight of Yahweh.
2 E vendeu-os o Senhor em mão de Jabin, rei de Canaan, que reinava em Hazor: e Sisera era o capitão do seu exército, o qual então habitava em Haroseth dos gentios.
Yahweh sold them into the hand of Jabin king of Canaan who reigned in Hazor. The commander of his army was named Sisera, and he lived in Harosheth Haggoyim.
3 Então os filhos de Israel clamaram ao Senhor, porquanto ele tinha novecentos carros ferrados, e vinte anos oprimia os filhos de Israel violentamente.
The people of Israel called out to Yahweh for help, because Sisera had nine hundred iron chariots and he oppressed the people of Israel with force for twenty years.
4 E deborah, mulher profetiza, mulher de Lappidoth, julgava a Israel naquele tempo.
Now Deborah, a prophetess (the wife of Lappidoth), was a leading judge in Israel at that time.
5 E habitava debaixo das palmeiras de deborah, entre Rama e bethel, nas montanhas de Ephraim: e os filhos de Israel subiam a ela a juízo.
She used to sit under the palm of Deborah between Ramah and Bethel in the hill country of Ephraim, and the people of Israel came to her to settle their disputes.
6 E enviou, e chamou a Barac, filho de Abinoam de Kedes de Naphtali, e disse-lhe: Porventura o Senhor Deus de Israel não deu ordem, dizendo: vai, e attrahe gente ao monte de Tabor, e toma contigo dez mil homens dos filhos de Naphtali e dos filhos de Zebulon?
She sent for Barak son of Abinoam from Kedesh in Naphtali. She said to him, “Yahweh, the God of Israel, commands you, 'Go to Mount Tabor, and take with you ten thousand men from Naphtali and Zebulun.
7 E atrairei a ti para o ribeiro de Kison a Sisera, capitão do exército de Jabin, com os seus carros, e com a sua multidão: e o darei na tua mão.
I will draw out Sisera, the commander of Jabin's army, to meet you by the Kishon River, with his chariots and his army, and I will give you victory over him.'”
8 Então lhe disse Barac: Se fores comigo, irei: porém, se não fores comigo, não irei.
Barak said to her, “If you go with me, I will go, but if you do not go with me, I will not go.”
9 E disse ela: Certamente irei contigo, porém não será tua a honra pelo caminho que levas; pois à mão de uma mulher o Senhor venderá a Sisera. E deborah se levantou, e partiu com Barac para Kedes
She said, “I will certainly go with you. However, the road on which you are going will not lead to your honor, for Yahweh will sell Sisera into the hand of a woman.” Then Deborah got up and went with Barak to Kedesh.
10 Então Barac convocou a Zebulon e a Naphtali em Kedes, e subiu com dez mil homens após de si: e deborah subiu com ele,
Barak called for the men of Zebulun and Naphtali to come together at Kedesh. Ten thousand men followed him, and Deborah went along with him.
11 E Eber, keneu, se tinha apartado dos keneos, dos filhos de Hobab, sogro de Moisés: e tinha estendido as suas tendas até ao carvalho de Saanaim, que está junto a Kedes.
Now Heber (the Kenite) had separated himself from the Kenites—they were the descendants of Hobab (Moses' father-in-law)—and he pitched his tent by the oak in Zaanannim near Kedesh.
12 E anunciaram a Sisera que Barac, filho de Abinoam, tinha subido ao monte de Tabor.
When they told Sisera that Barak son of Abinoam had gone up to Mount Tabor,
13 E Sisera convocou todos os seus carros, novecentos carros ferrados, e todo o povo que estava com ele, desde Haroseth dos gentios até ao ribeiro de Kison.
Sisera called out all his chariots, nine hundred iron chariots, and all the soldiers who were with him, from Harosheth Haggoyim to the Kishon River.
14 Então disse deborah a Barac: Levanta-te; porque este é o dia em que o Senhor tem dado a Sisera na tua mão: porventura o Senhor não saiu diante de ti? Barac pois desceu do monte de Tabor, e dez mil homens após dele.
Deborah said to Barak, “Go! For this is the day in which Yahweh has given you victory over Sisera. Is not Yahweh leading you?” So Barak went down from Mount Tabor with ten thousand men following him.
15 E o Senhor derrotou a Sisera, e a todos os seus carros, e a todo o seu exército ao fio da espada, diante de Barac: e Sisera desceu do carro, e fugiu a pé.
Yahweh confused Sisera and all his chariots and all his army with the edge of the sword. And Sisera got down from his chariot and ran away on foot.
16 E Barac os seguiu após dos carros, e após do exército, até Haroseth dos gentios: e todo o exército de Sisera caiu ao fio da espada, até não ficar um só.
But Barak pursued the chariots and the army to Harosheth Haggoyim, and the whole army of Sisera was killed by the edge of the sword, and not a man survived.
17 Porém Sisera fugiu a pé à tenda de Jael, mulher de Eber, keneu: porquanto havia paz entre Jabin, rei de Hazor, e a casa de Eber, keneu.
But Sisera ran away on foot to the tent of Jael, the wife of Heber the Kenite, for there was peace between Jabin the king of Hazor and the family of Heber the Kenite.
18 E Jael saiu ao encontro de Sisera, e disse-lhe: Retira-te, senhor meu, retira-te a mim, não temas. Retirou-se a ela à tenda, e cobriu-o com uma coberta.
Jael went out to meet Sisera and said to him, “Turn aside, my master; turn aside to me and do not be afraid.” So he turned aside to her and came into her tent, and she covered him with a blanket.
19 Então ele lhe disse: Dá-me, peço-te, de beber uma pouca d'água; porque tenho sede. Então ela abriu um odre de leite, e deu-lhe de beber, e o cobriu.
He said to her, “Please give me a little water to drink, for I am thirsty.” She opened a leather bag of milk and gave him drink, and then she covered him up again.
20 E ele lhe disse: Põe-te à porta da tenda; e há de ser que se alguém vier, e te perguntar, e disser: há aqui alguém? responde tu então: Não.
He said to her, “Stand at the opening of the tent. If someone comes and asks you, 'Is anyone here?', say 'No'.”
21 Então Jael, mulher de heber, tomou uma estaca da tenda, e lançou mão dum martelo, e foi-se mansamente a ele, e lhe cravou a estaca na fonte, e a pregou na terra, estando ele porém carregado dum profundo sono, e já cançado; e assim morreu.
Then Jael (the wife of Heber) took a tent peg and a hammer in her hand and went in secretly to him, for he was in a deep sleep, and she hammered the tent peg into the side of his head until it went down into the ground, and he died.
22 E eis que, seguindo Barac a Sisera, Jael lhe saiu ao encontro, e disse-lhe: Vem, e mostrar-te-ei o homem que buscas. E veio a ela, e eis que Sisera jazia morto, e a estaca na fonte.
As Barak was pursuing Sisera, Jael want out to meet him and said to him, “Come, I will show you the man you are looking for.” So he went in with her, and there lay Sisera dead, with the tent peg in the side of his head.
23 Assim Deus naquele dia sujeitou a Jabin, rei de Canaan, diante dos filhos de Israel.
So on that day God defeated Jabin, the king of Canaan, before the people of Israel.
24 E continuou a mão dos filhos de Israel a proseguir e endurecer-se sobre Jabin, rei de Canaan: até que exterminaram a Jabin, rei de Canaan.
The might of the people of Israel grew stronger and stronger against Jabin the king of Canaan, until they destroyed him.
