Juízes 1
1 E aconteceu depois da morte de Josué, que os filhos de Israel consultaram ao SENHOR, dizendo: Quem subirá por nós primeiro para lutar contra os cananeus?
After Joshua died, the Israeli people asked Yahweh, “Which [of our tribes] should attack the Canaan people-group first?”
2 E o SENHOR respondeu: Judá subirá; eis que eu entreguei a terra em suas mãos.
Yahweh replied, “I will enable the tribe of Judah to defeat [IDM] the Canaan people-group.”
3 E Judá disse a Simeão seu irmão: Sobe comigo à minha porção, e lutemos contra os cananeus, e eu também irei contigo à tua porção. E Simeão foi com ele.
The men of Judah went to their fellow Israelis, [the men] from the tribe of Simeon, and said to them, “Come and help us to fight the Canaan people-group [in order that we can take from them] the land [that Yahweh] allotted to us. If you do that, we will go with you [and help you] conquer the people in the land [that Yahweh promised to give to] you.” So the men from the tribe of Simeon went with the men of the tribe of Judah.
4 E subiu Judá, e o SENHOR entregou em suas mãos aos cananeus e aos perizeus; e deles feriram em Bezeque dez mil homens.
When the men of those two tribes attacked, Yahweh enabled them to defeat 10,000 men of the Canaan people-group and the Periz people-group [DOU] at Bezek [city].
5 E acharam a Adoni-Bezeque em Bezeque, e lutaram contra ele: e feriram aos cananeus e aos perizeus.
During the battle they found Adoni-Bezek, the leader of the city,
6 Mas Adoni-Bezeque fugiu; e seguiram-no, e prenderam-no, e cortaram-lhe os polegares das mãos e dos pés.
but he [tried to] run away. The Israelis pursued him and caught him. Then they cut off his thumbs and his big toes.
7 Então disse Adoni-Bezeque: Setenta reis, cortados os polegares de suas mãos e de seus pés, colhiam as migalhas debaixo de minha mesa: como eu fiz, assim Deus me pagou. E meteram-no em Jerusalém, de onde morreu.
Adoni-Bezek said, “[My army captured] 70 kings. We cut off their thumbs and big toes. After that, [we forced] those kings to eat scraps that fell from our table. Now God has (paid me back for/done to me like) [what we did to them].” Then the men of Judah took Adoni-Bezek to Jerusalem, and he died there.
8 E combateram os filhos de Judá a Jerusalém, e a tomaram, e puseram à espada, e puseram a fogo a cidade.
The army of Judah fought against the men of Jerusalem, and they captured the city. With their swords they killed [the people who lived there] and they burned [the houses in] the city.
9 Depois os filhos de Judá desceram para lutar contra os cananeus que habitavam nas montanhas, e ao sul, e nas planícies.
Later, the men of Judah went down to fight the Canaan people-group who lived in the hilly area, in the desert to the south, and in the foothills [to the west].
10 E partiu Judá contra os cananeus que habitavam em Hebrom, a qual se chamava antes Quiriate-Arba; e feriram a Sesai, e a Aimã, e a Talmai.
The men of Judah also went to fight against the Canaan people-group who lived in Hebron [city], which at that time was named Kiriath-Arba. They defeated [the armies of kings] Sheshai, Ahiman, and Talmai.
11 E dali foi aos que habitavam em Debir, que antes se chamava Quiriate-Sefer.
Then they left that area and went to fight against the people living in Debir [city], which was previously named Kiriath-Sepher.
12 E disse Calebe: O que ferir a Quiriate-Sefer, e a tomar, eu lhe darei a Acsa minha filha por mulher.
[Before they attacked the city], Caleb said to them, “If one of you attacks and captures Kiriath-Sepher, I will allow him to marry my daughter.”
13 E tomou-a Otniel filho de Quenaz, irmão menor de Calebe: e ele lhe deu a Acsa sua filha por mulher.
Othniel, who was the son of Caleb’s younger brother Kenaz, captured the city. So Caleb gave his daughter Acsah to him, to become his wife.
14 E quando a levavam, persuadiu-lhe que pedisse a seu pai um campo. E ela desceu do asno, e Calebe lhe disse: Que tens?
When Acsah married Othniel, she told him to ask her father to give him a field. [But she decided to ask him herself. She rode to Caleb’s house on her donkey], and when she got off the donkey, Caleb [could see that something was troubling her. So he] asked her, “What do you want?”
15 Ela então lhe respondeu: Dá-me uma bênção: pois me deste terra de secura, que me dês também fontes de águas. Então Calebe lhe deu as fontes de acima e as fontes de abaixo.
She replied, “I want you to do a favor for me. You have given me some land in the southern desert, [but it is very dry there]. So please also give me some [land that has] springs of water.” So Caleb gave her some land on higher ground that had a spring, and some land on lower ground that also had a spring.

The men of Judah also captured Gaza, Ashkelon, and Ekron [cities] and all the land that is near those cities.

Yahweh helped the men of Judah to capture the hilly area, but they could not force the people who were living in the plains to leave, because [those people had better weapons—] had iron chariots.

24 E os que espiavam viram um homem que saía da cidade, e disseram-lhe: Mostra-nos agora a entrada da cidade, e faremos contigo misericórdia.
The spies saw a man who was coming out of the city. They said to him, “If you show us a way to get into the city, we will be kind to you [and we will not kill you].”
25 E ele lhes mostrou a entrada à cidade, e feriram-na a fio de espada; mas deixaram a aquele homem com toda sua família.

There were people of the Canaan people-group who lived in Beth-Shan, Taanach, Dor, Ibleam, and Megiddo [cities] and in the surrounding villages.
