< 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?
After the death of Joshua, the people of Israel asked Yahweh, saying, “Who first will attack the Canaanites for us, to fight against them?”
2 E disse o Senhor: Judá subirá: eis que lhe dei esta terra na sua mão.
Yahweh said, “Judah will attack. See, I have given them control of this land.”
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.
The men of Judah said to men of Simeon, their brothers, “Come up with us into our territory that was assigned to us that together we may fight against the Canaanites. We will likewise go with you to the territory that was assigned to you.” So the tribe of Simeon went with them.
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.
The men of Judah attacked, and Yahweh gave them victory over the Canaanites and the Perizzites. They killed ten thousand of them at Bezek.
5 E acharam a Adoni-bezek em Bezek, e pelejaram contra ele: e feriram aos cananeus e aos pherezeus.
They found Adoni-Bezek at Bezek, and they fought against him and defeated 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 Adoni-Bezek fled, and they pursued him and caught him, and they cut off his thumbs and his big 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.
Adoni-Bezek said, “Seventy kings, who had their thumbs and their big toes cut off, gathered their food from under my table. As I have done, even so God has done to me.” They brought him to Jerusalem, and he died there.
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.
The men of Judah fought against the city of Jerusalem and took it. They attacked it with the edge of the sword and they set the city on fire.
9 E depois os filhos de Judá desceram a pelejar contra os cananeus que habitavam nas montanhas, e no sul, e nas planícies.
After that, the men of Judah went down to fight against the Canaanites who lived in the hill country, in the Negev, and the western foothills.
10 E partiu Judá contra os cananeus que habitavam em Hebron (era porém de antes o nome de Hebron Quiriath-arba): e feriram a Sesai, e a Ahiman e a Talmai.
Judah advanced against the Canaanites who lived in Hebron (the name of Hebron was previously Kiriath Arba), and they defeated Sheshai, Ahiman, and Talmai.
11 E dali partiu contra os moradores de Debir: e era de antes o nome de Debir Quiriath-sepher.
From there the men of Judah advanced against the inhabitants of Debir (the name of Debir was previously Kiriath Sepher).
12 E disse Caleb: Quem ferir a Quiriath-sepher, e a tomar, lhe darei a minha filha Acsa por mulher.
Caleb said, “Whoever attacks Kiriath Sepher and takes it, I will give him Aksah, my daughter, to be his 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.
Othniel, son of Kenaz (Caleb's younger brother) captured Debir, so Caleb gave him Aksah, his daughter, to be his 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?
Soon Aksah came to Othniel, and she urged him to ask her father to give her a field. As she was getting off her donkey, Caleb asked her, “What can I do for 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.
She said to him, “Give me a blessing. Since you have given me the land of the Negev, also give me springs of water.” So Caleb gave her the upper springs and the lower springs.
16 Também os filhos do keneu, sogro de Moisés, subiram da cidade das palmeiras com os filhos de Judá ao deserto de Judá, que está ao sul de Arad: e foram, e habitaram com o povo.
The descendants of Moses' father-in-law the Kenite went up from the City of Palms with the people of Judah, into the wilderness of Judah, which is in the Negev, to live with the people of Judah near Arad.
17 Foi-se pois Judá com Simeão, seu irmão, e feriram aos cananeus que habitavam em Zephath: e totalmente a destruiram, e chamaram o nome desta cidade Horma.
The men of Judah went with the men of Simeon their brothers and they attacked the Canaanites who inhabited Zephath and they completely destroyed it. The name of the city was called Hormah.
18 Tomou mais Judá a Gaza com o seu termo, e a Ascalon com o seu termo, e a Ecron com o seu termo.
The people of Judah also captured Gaza and the land around it, Ashkelon and the land around it, and Ekron and the land around it.
19 E foi o Senhor com Judá, e despovoou as montanhas: porém não expeliu aos moradores do vale, porquanto tinham carros ferrados.
Yahweh was with the people of Judah and they took possession of the hill country, but they could not drive out the inhabitants of the plains because they had iron chariots.
20 E deram Hebron a Caleb, como Moisés o dissera: e dali expeliu os três filhos de Enak.
Hebron was given to Caleb (like Moses had said), and he drove out from there the three sons of Anak.
21 Porém os filhos de Benjamin não expeliram os jebuseus que habitavam em Jerusalém: antes os jebuseus habitaram com os filhos de Benjamin em Jerusalém, até ao dia de hoje.
But the people of Benjamin did not drive out the Jebusites who inhabited Jerusalem. So the Jebusites have lived with the people of Benjamin in Jerusalem to this day.
22 E subiu também a casa de José a bethel, e foi o Senhor com eles.
The house of Joseph prepared to attack Bethel, and Yahweh was with them.
23 E fez a casa de José espiar a bethel: e foi de antes o nome desta cidade Luz.
They sent out men to spy on Bethel (the city that was formerly called Luz).
24 E viram os espias a um homem, que saía da cidade, e lhe disseram: Ora mostra-nos a entrada da cidade, e usaremos contigo de beneficência.
The spies saw a man coming out of the city, and they said to him, “Show us, please, how to get into the city, and we will be kind to you.”
25 E, mostrando-lhes ele a entrada da cidade, feriram a cidade ao fio da espada: porém àquele homem e a toda a sua família deixaram ir.
He showed them a way into the city, and so they attacked the city with the edge of the sword, but they let the man and all his family get away.
26 Então aquele homem foi-se à terra dos heteus, e edificou uma cidade, e chamou o seu nome Luz; este é o seu nome até ao dia de hoje.
Then the man went to the land of the Hittites and built a city and called it Luz, which is its name to this day.
27 Nem Manasseh expeliu os habitantes de Beth-sean, nem dos lugares da sua jurisdição; nem a Taanach, com os lugares da sua jurisdição; nem aos moradores de Dor, com os lugares da sua jurisdição; nem aos moradores de Ibleam, com os lugares da sua jurisdição; nem aos moradores de Megiddo, com os lugares da sua jurisdição: e quizeram os cananeus habitar na mesma terra.
The people of Manasseh did not drive out the people living in the cities of Beth Shan and its villages, or Taanach and its villages, or those who lived in Dor and its villages, or those who lived in Ibleam and its villages, or those who lived in Megiddo and its villages, because the Canaanites were determined to live in that land.
28 E sucedeu que, quando Israel cobrou mais forças, fez dos cananeus tributários: porém não os expeliu de todo.
When Israel became strong, they forced the Canaanites to serve them with hard labor, but they never drove them out completely.
29 Tão pouco expeliu Ephraim aos cananeus que habitavam em Gezer: antes os cananeus habitavam no meio dele, em Gezer.
Ephraim did not drive out the Canaanites who lived in Gezer, so the Canaanites continued to live in Gezer among them.
30 Tão pouco expeliu Zebulon aos moradores de Kitron, nem aos moradores de Nahalol: porém os cananeus habitavam no meio dele, e foram tributários.
Zebulun did not drive out the people living in Kitron, or the people living in Nahalol, and so the Canaanites continued to live among them, but Zebulun forced the Canaanites to serve them with hard labor.
31 Tão pouco Aser expeliu aos moradores de Acco, nem aos moradores de Sidon: como nem a Acbal, nem a Acsih, nem a Chelba, nem a Aphik, nem a Recob;
Asher did not drive out the people living in Akko, or the people living in Sidon, or those living in Ahlab, Akzib, Helbah, Aphek, or Rehob.
32 Porém os aseritas habitaram no meio dos cananeus que habitavam na terra: porquanto os não expeliram.
So the tribe of Asher lived among the Canaanites (those who lived in the land), because they did not drive them out.
33 Tão pouco Naphtali expeliu aos moradores de Beth-semes, nem aos moradores de Beth-anath; mas habitou no meio dos cananeus que habitavam na terra: porém lhes foram tributários os moradores de Beth-semes e Beth-anath.
The tribe of Naphtali did not drive out those who were living in Beth Shemesh, or those living in Beth Anath. So the tribe of Naphtali lived among the Canaanites (the people who were living in that land). However, the inhabitants of Beth Shemesh and Beth Anath were forced into hard labor for Naphthali.
34 E apertaram os amorreus aos filhos de Dan até às montanhas: porque nem os deixavam descer ao vale.
The Amorites forced the tribe of Dan to live in the hill country, not allowing them to come down to the plain.
35 Também os amorreus quizeram habitar nas montanhas de Heres, em Ajalon e em Saalbim: porém prevaleceu a mão da casa de José, e ficaram tributários.
So the Amorites lived at Mount Heres, in Aijalon, and in Shaalbim, but the military might of the house of Joseph conquered them, and they were forced to serve them with hard labor.
36 E foi o termo dos amorreus desde a subida de Akrabbim: desde a penha, e dali para cima.
The border of the Amorites ran from the hill of Akrabbim at Sela up into the hill country.
