< Juízes 1 >

1 E sucedeu, depois da morte de Josué, que os filhos de Israel perguntaram ao Senhor, dizendo: Quem dentre nós primeiro subirá aos cananeus, para pelejar contra eles?
Now after the death of Joshua it came to pass, that the children of Israel asked the LORD, saying, Who shall go up for us against the Canaanites first, to fight against them?
2 E disse o Senhor: Judá subirá: eis que lhe dei esta terra na sua mão.
And the LORD said, Judah shall go up: behold, I have delivered the land into his hand.
3 Então disse Judá a Simeão, seu irmão: Sobe comigo à minha sorte, e pelejemos contra os cananeus, e também eu contigo subirei à tua sorte. E Simeão partiu com ele.
And Judah said to Simeon his brother, Come up with me into my lot, that we may fight against the Canaanites; and I likewise will go with you into your lot. So Simeon went with him.
4 E subiu Judá, e o Senhor lhe deu na sua mão os cananeus e os pherezeus: e feriram deles em Bezek a dez mil homens.
And Judah went up; and the LORD delivered the Canaanites and the Perizzites into their hand: and they slew of them in Bezek ten thousand men.
5 E acharam a Adoni-bezek em Bezek, e pelejaram contra ele: e feriram aos cananeus e aos pherezeus.
And they found Adonibezek in Bezek: and they fought against him, and they slew the Canaanites and the Perizzites.
6 Porém Adoni-bezek fugiu, e o seguiram, e o prenderam, e lhe cortaram os dedos polegares das mãos e dos pés.
But Adonibezek fled; and they pursued after him, and caught him, and cut off his thumbs and his great toes.
7 Então disse Adoni-bezek: Setenta reis com os dedos polegares das mãos e dos pés cortados apanhavam as migalhas debaixo da minha mesa: assim como eu fiz, assim Deus me pagou. E o trouxeram a Jerusalém, e morreu ali.
And Adonibezek said, Three score and ten kings, having their thumbs and their great toes cut off, gathered their meat under my table: as I have done, so God has requited me. And they brought him to Jerusalem, and there he died.
8 Porque os filhos de Judá pelejaram contra Jerusalém, e a tomaram, e a feriram ao fio da espada: e a cidade puseram a fogo.

And Caleb said, He that smites Kirjathsepher, and takes it, to him will I give Achsah my daughter to wife.
13 E tomou-a Othniel, filho de Kenaz, o irmão de Caleb, mais novo do que ele: e Caleb lhe deu a sua filha Acsa por mulher.
And Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb’s younger brother, took it: and he gave him Achsah his daughter to wife.
14 E sucedeu que, vindo ela a ele, o persuadiu que pedisse um campo a seu pai; e ela se apeou do jumento, saltando: e Caleb lhe disse: Que é o que tens?
And it came to pass, when she came to him, that she moved him to ask of her father a field: and she lighted from off her ass; and Caleb said to her, What will you?
15 E ela lhe disse: Dá-me uma benção; pois me deste uma terra seca, dá-me também fontes de águas. E Caleb lhe deu as fontes superiores e as fontes inferiores.
And she said to him, Give me a blessing: for you have given me a south land; give me also springs of water. And Caleb gave her the upper springs and the nether springs.
