Juízes 10
1 E Depois de Abimeleque levantou-se para livrar a Israel, Tolá filho de Puá, filho de Dodô, homem de Issacar, o qual habitava em Samir, no monte de Efraim.
After Abimelech died, Tola the son of Puah and grandson of Dodo became the leader to rescue the Israeli people [from their enemies]. He belonged to the tribe of Issachar, but he lived in Shamir [city] in the hilly area where the descendants of Ephraim live.
2 E julgou a Israel vinte e três anos, e morreu, e foi sepultado em Samir.
He ruled the Israeli people for 23 years. Then he died and was buried in Shamir.
3 Depois dele se levantou Jair, gileadita, o qual julgou a Israel vinte e dois anos.
After Tola died, Jair, from [the] Gilead [region], became the Israelis’ leader, and he ruled them for 22 years.
4 Este teve trinta filhos que cavalgavam sobre trinta asnos, e tinham trinta vilas, que se chamaram as vilas de Jair até hoje, as quais estão na terra de Gileade.
He had thirty sons, and each of them had his own donkey to ride on. They each controlled a different town in [the] Gilead [region]. That region is still named ‘The Towns of Jair’.
5 E morreu Jair, e foi sepultado em Camom.
When Jair died, he was buried in Kamon [city].
6 Mas os filhos de Israel voltaram a fazer o mal aos olhos do SENHOR, e serviram aos baalins e a Astarote, e aos deuses da Síria, e aos deuses de Sidom, e aos deuses de Moabe, e aos deuses dos filhos de Amom, e aos deuses dos filisteus:
Again the Israelis did things that Yahweh said were wrong/evil. They worshiped [the idols of their god] Baal and [their goddess] Astarte. They also worshiped the gods of the Aram, Sidon, Moab, and Ammon people-groups, and the gods of the Philistia people-group. They abandoned Yahweh and stopped worshiping him.
7 E o SENHOR se irou contra Israel, e vendeu-os por mão dos filisteus, e por mão dos filhos de Amom:
So Yahweh was very angry with them, and he allowed the Philistia and Ammon people-groups to defeat [IDM] the Israelis.
8 Os quais moeram e quebrantaram aos filhos de Israel naquele tempo dezoito anos, a todos os filhos de Israel que estavam da outra parte do Jordão na terra dos amorreus, que é em Gileade.
In that same year, those people started to oppress the Israelis who lived in [the] Gilead [region] on the east side of the Jordan [River]. That was where the Amor people-group also lived. were They caused the Israelis who lived in that region to suffer for 18 years.
9 E os filhos de Amom passaram o Jordão para fazer também guerra contra Judá, e contra Benjamim, e a casa de Efraim: e foi Israel em grande maneira afligido.
Then the people of the Ammon people-group crossed the Jordan [River] to fight against the people of the tribes of Judah, Benjamin, and Ephraim. They caused the Israelis’ lives to be very miserable.
10 E os filhos de Israel clamaram ao SENHOR, dizendo: Nós pecamos contra ti; porque deixamos a nosso Deus, e servido aos baalins.
So the Israelis cried out to Yahweh, saying “We have sinned against you. We have abandoned you, and we have been worshiping [the idols of their god] Baal.”
11 E o SENHOR respondeu aos filhos de Israel: Não fostes oprimidos pelo Egito, pelos amorreus, pelos amonitas, dos filisteus,
Yahweh answered them, saying, “When the people of Egypt, and the Amor and Ammon and Philistia people-groups
12 Dos de Sidom, de Amaleque, e de Maom, e clamando a mim vos livrei de suas mãos?
and the Sidon and Amalek and Maon people-groups were cruel to you, you cried out to me, and then I rescued you.
13 Mas vós me deixastes, e servistes a deuses alheios: portanto, eu não vos livrarei mais.
But now you have abandoned me again, and you have been worshiping other gods. So I will not rescue you again.
14 Andai, e clamai aos deuses que escolhestes para vós, que vos livrem no tempo de vossa aflição.
You have chosen those gods [to be the ones that you worship]. So call to them to help you. Allow them to rescue you when you have a lot of trouble!”
15 E os filhos de Israel responderam ao SENHOR: Pecamos; faze tu conosco como bem te parecer: somente que agora nos livres neste dia.
But the Israeli people said to Yahweh, “Truly we have sinned. Punish us in whatever way you wish to, but please rescue us now!”
16 E tiraram dentre si os deuses alheios, e serviram ao SENHOR; e sua alma foi angustiada por causa do sofrimento de Israel.
Then the Israelis threw away the [idols of the] gods that belonged to other people-groups, and they worshiped Yahweh again. He saw that they were suffering very much, and he felt sorry [IDM] for them.
17 E juntando-se os filhos de Amom, assentaram acampamento em Gileade; juntaram-se assim os filhos de Israel, e assentaram seu acampamento em Mispá.
The Ammon people-group gathered to fight [against the Israelis], and they set up their tents in [the] Gilead [region]. The Israeli men also gathered and set up their tents at Mizpah, [which was a city in Gilead].
18 E os príncipes e o povo de Gileade disseram um ao outro: Quem será o que começará a batalha contra os filhos de Amom? Ele será cabeça sobre todos os que habitam em Gileade.
The Israeli leaders said, “Who will lead our soldiers to attack the Ammon people-group? The one who will lead us will become the leader of all us who live in this Gilead [region].”
