Juízes 20
1 Então saíram todos os filhos de Israel, e reuniu-se a congregação como um só homem, desde Dã até Berseba e a terra de Gileade, ao SENHOR em Mispá.
Then all the people of Israel came out as one man, from Dan to Beersheba, including the land of Gilead also, and they assembled together before Yahweh at Mizpah.
2 E os principais de todo aquele povo, de todas as tribos de Israel, se acharam presentes na reunião do povo de Deus, quatrocentos mil homens a pé que tiravam espada.
The leaders of all the people, of all the tribes of Israel, took their places in the assembly of the people of God—400,000 men on foot, who were ready to fight with the sword.
3 E os filhos de Benjamim ouviram que os filhos de Israel haviam subido a Mispá. E disseram os filhos de Israel: Dizei como foi esta maldade.
Now the people of Benjamin heard that the people of Israel had gone up to Mizpah. The people of Israel said, “Tell us how this wicked thing happened.”
4 Então o homem levita, marido da mulher morta, respondeu e disse: Eu cheguei a Gibeá de Benjamim com minha concubina, para ter ali a noite.
The Levite, the husband of the woman who had been murdered, answered, “I came to Gibeah in the territory that belongs to Benjamin, I and my concubine, to spend the night.
5 E levantando-se contra mim os de Gibeá, cercaram sobre mim a casa de noite, com ideia de matar-me, e oprimiram minha concubina de tal maneira, que ela foi morta.
During the night, the leaders of Gibeah attacked me, surrounding the house, intending to kill me. They raped my concubine, and she died.
6 Então tomando eu minha concubina, cortei-a em peças, e enviei-as por todo aquele termo da possessão de Israel: porquanto fizeram maldade e crime em Israel.
I took my concubine and cut her body into pieces, and sent them into each region of Israel's inheritance, because they have committed such wickedness and outrage in Israel.
7 Eis que todos vós os filhos de Israel estais presentes; dai-vos aqui parecer e conselho.
Now, all you Israelites, give your advice and counsel here.”
8 Então todo aquele povo, como um só homem, se levantou, e disseram: Nenhum de nós irá à sua tenda, nem nos apartaremos cada um à sua casa,
All the people arose together as one man, and they said, “None of us will go to his tent, and none of us will return to his house!
9 Até que façamos isto sobre Gibeá: que lancemos sortes contra ela;
But now this is what we must do to Gibeah: We will attack it as the lot directs us.
10 E tomaremos dez homens de cada cem por todas as tribos de Israel, e de cada mil cem, e mil de cada dez mil, que levem mantimento para o povo que deve agir, indo contra Gibeá de Benjamim, conforme toda a abominação que havia cometido em Israel.
We will take ten men of a hundred throughout all the tribes of Israel, and one hundred of a thousand, and one thousand of ten thousand, to get provisions for these people, so that when they come to Gibeah in Benjamin, they may punish them for the wickedness they committed in Israel.”
11 E juntaram-se todos os homens de Israel contra a cidade, ligados como um só homem.
So all the soldiers of Israel assembled against the city, as one man.
12 E as tribos de Israel enviaram homens por toda a tribo de Benjamim, dizendo: Que maldade é esta que foi feita entre vós?
The tribes of Israel sent men through all the tribe of Benjamin, saying, “What is this wickedness that was done among you?
13 Entregai, pois, agora aqueles homens, malignos, que estão em Gibeá, para que os matemos, e varramos o mal de Israel. Mas os de Benjamim não quiseram ouvir a voz de seus irmãos os filhos de Israel;
Therefore, give us those wicked men of Gibeah, so we may put them to death, and so we will completely remove this evil from Israel.” But the Benjamites would not listen to the voice of their brothers, the people of Israel.
14 Antes os de Benjamim se juntaram das cidades de Gibeá, para sair a lutar contra os filhos de Israel.
Then the people of Benjamin came together out of the cities to Gibeah to get ready to fight against the people of Israel.
15 E foram contados naquele tempo os filhos de Benjamim das cidades, vinte e seis mil homens que tiravam espada, sem os que moravam em Gibeá, que foram por conta setecentos homens escolhidos.
The people of Benjamin brought together from their cities to fight on that day twenty-six thousand soldiers who were trained to fight with the sword. In addition, there were seven hundred of their chosen men from the inhabitants of Gibeah.
16 De toda aquela gente havia setecentos homens escolhidos, que eram canhotos, todos os quais atiravam uma pedra com a funda a um fio de cabelo, e não erravam.
Among all these soldiers were seven hundred chosen men who were left-handed. Each of them could sling a stone at a hair and not miss.
17 E foram contados os homens de Israel, fora de Benjamim, quatrocentos mil homens que tiravam espada, todos estes homens de guerra.
The people of Israel, not counting the number from Benjamin, numbered 400,000 men, who were trained to fight with the sword. All of these were men of war.
18 Levantaram-se logo os filhos de Israel, e subiram à casa de Deus, e consultaram a Deus, dizendo: Quem subirá de nós o primeiro na guerra contra os filhos de Benjamim? E o SENHOR respondeu: Judá o primeiro.
The people of Israel arose, went up to Bethel, and asked for advice from God. They asked, “Who first will attack the people of Benjamin for us?” Yahweh said, “Judah will attack first.”
19 Levantando-se, pois, de manhã os filhos de Israel, puseram acampamento contra Gibeá.
The people of Israel got up in the morning and they moved their camp near Gibeah.
20 E saíram os filhos de Israel a combater contra Benjamim; e os homens de Israel ordenaram a batalha contra eles junto a Gibeá.
The people of Israel went out to fight against Benjamin. They set up their battle positions against them at Gibeah.
21 Saindo então de Gibeá os filhos de Benjamim, derrubaram em terra aquele dia vinte e dois mil homens dos filhos de Israel.
The people of Benjamin came out of Gibeah, and they killed twenty-two thousand men of the army of Israel on that day.
22 Mas reanimando-se o povo, os homens de Israel voltaram a ordenar a batalha no mesmo lugar onde a haviam ordenado o primeiro dia.
But the people of Israel strengthened themselves and they formed the battle line in the same place where they had taken positions on the first day.
23 Porque os filhos de Israel subiram, e choraram diante do SENHOR até à tarde, e consultaram com o SENHOR, dizendo: Voltarei a lutar com os filhos de Benjamim meu irmão? E o SENHOR lhes respondeu: Subi contra ele.
Then the people of Israel went up and they wept before Yahweh until evening, and they sought direction from Yahweh. They said, “Should we go again to fight against our brothers, the people of Benjamin?” Yahweh said, “Attack them!”
24 Então os filhos de Israel se aproximaram no dia seguinte contra os filhos de Benjamim.
So the people of Israel went against the soldiers of Benjamin the second day.
25 E aquele segundo dia, saindo Benjamim de Gibeá contra eles, derrubaram por terra outros dezoito mil homens dos filhos de Israel, todos os quais tiravam espada.
On the second day, Benjamin went out against them from Gibeah and they killed eighteen thousand men from the people of Israel. All were men who trained to fight with the sword.
26 Então subiram todos os filhos de Israel, e todo aquele povo, e vieram à casa de Deus; e choraram, e sentaram-se ali diante do SENHOR, e jejuaram naquele dia até à tarde; e sacrificaram holocaustos e pacíficos diante do SENHOR.
Then all the soldiers of Israel and all the people went up to Bethel and wept, and there they sat before Yahweh and they fasted that day until the evening and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before Yahweh.
27 E os filhos de Israel perguntaram ao SENHOR, (porque a arca do pacto de Deus estava ali naqueles dias,
The people of Israel asked Yahweh—for the ark of the covenant of God was there in those days,
28 E Fineias, filho de Eleazar, filho de Arão, se apresentava diante dela naqueles dias, ) e disseram: Voltarei a sair em batalha contra os filhos de Benjamim meu irmão, ou ficarei quieto? E o SENHOR disse: Subi, que amanhã eu o entregarei em tua mão.
and Phinehas, son of Eleazar son of Aaron, was serving before the ark in those days—”Should we go out to battle once more against the people of Benjamin, our brothers, or stop?” Yahweh said, “Attack, for tomorrow I will help you defeat them.”
29 E pôs Israel emboscadas ao redor de Gibeá.
So Israel set men in secret places around Gibeah.
30 Subindo então os filhos de Israel contra os filhos de Benjamim o terceiro dia, ordenaram a batalha diante de Gibeá, como as outras vezes.
The people of Israel fought against the people of Benjamin for the third day, and they formed their battle lines against Gibeah as they had done before.
31 E saindo os filhos de Benjamim contra o povo, afastados que foram da cidade, começaram a ferir alguns do povo, matando como das outras vezes pelos caminhos, um dos quais sobe a Betel, e o outro a Gibeá no acampamento: e mataram uns trinta homens de Israel.
The people of Benjamin went and fought against the people, and they were drawn away from the city. They began to kill some of the people. There were about thirty men of Israel who died in the fields and on the roads. One of the roads went up to Bethel, and the other went to Gibeah.
32 E os filhos de Benjamim diziam: Derrotados são diante de nós, como antes. Mas os filhos de Israel diziam: Fugiremos, e os afastaremos da cidade até os caminhos.
Then the people of Benjamin said, “They are defeated and they are running away from us, just as at first.” But the soldiers of Israel said, “Let us run back and draw them away from the city to the roads.”
33 Então, levantando-se todos os de Israel de seu lugar, puseram-se em ordem em Baal-Tamar: e também as emboscadas de Israel saíram de seu lugar, do prado de Gibeá.
All the people of Israel rose up out of their places and formed themselves into lines for battle at Baal Tamar. Then the soldiers of Israel who had been hiding in secret places ran out from their places from Maareh Gibeah.
34 E vieram contra Gibeá dez mil homens escolhidos de todo Israel, e a batalha começou a agravar-se: mas eles não sabiam que o mal se aproximava sobre eles.
There came out against Gibeah ten thousand chosen men out of all Israel, and the fighting was fierce, but the Benjamites did not know that disaster was close to them.
35 E feriu o SENHOR a Benjamim diante de Israel; e mataram os filhos de Israel aquele dia vinte e cinco mil e cem homens de Benjamim, todos os quais tiravam espada.
Yahweh defeated Benjamin before Israel. On that day, the soldiers of Israel killed 25,100 men of Benjamin. All these who died were those who had been trained to fight with the sword.
36 E viram os filhos de Benjamim que eram mortos; pois os filhos de Israel haviam dado lugar a Benjamim, porque estavam confiantes nas emboscadas que haviam posto detrás de Gibeá.
So the soldiers of Benjamin saw they were defeated. The men of Israel had given ground to Benjamin, because they were counting on the men they had placed in hidden positions outside Gibeah.
37 Então as emboscadas atacaram prontamente Gibeá, e se estenderam, e passaram à espada toda a cidade.
Then the men who were hiding got up and hurried and they rushed into Gibeah, and they struck all the city with the edge of the sword.
38 Já os israelitas estavam combinados com as emboscadas, que fizessem muito fogo, para que subisse grande fumaça da cidade.
The arranged signal between the soldiers of Israel and the men hiding in secret would be that a great cloud of smoke would rise up out of the city.
39 Logo, pois, que os de Israel se viraram na batalha, os de Benjamim começaram a derrubar feridos de Israel uns trinta homens, e já diziam: Certamente eles caíram diante de nós, como na primeira batalha.
When the signal was sent the soldiers of Israel would turn from the battle. Now Benjamin began to attack and they killed about thirty men of Israel, and they said, “It is sure that they are defeated before us, as in the first battle.”
40 Mas quando a chama começou a subir da cidade, uma coluna de fumaça, Benjamim virou a olhar atrás; e eis que o fogo da cidade subia ao céu.
But when a pillar of smoke began to rise up out of the city, the Benjamites turned and saw the smoke rising to the sky from the whole city.
41 Então deram meia-volta os homens de Israel, e os de Benjamim se encheram de temor: porque viram que o mal havia vindo sobre eles.
Then the people of Israel turned against them. The men of Benjamin were terrified, for they saw that disaster had come on them.
42 Voltaram-se, pois, de costas diante de Israel até o caminho do deserto; mas o esquadrão os alcançou, e os saídos da cidade os matavam, depois de virem ao meio deles.
So they ran away from the people of Israel, escaping on the way to the wilderness. But the fighting overtook them. The soldiers of Israel came out of the cities and killed them where they stood.
43 Assim cercaram aos de Benjamim, e os perseguiram e pisaram, desde Menuá até em frente de Gibeá até o oriente.
They surrounded the Benjamites, chased them and trampled them down at Nohah, all the way to the east side of Gibeah.
44 E caíram de Benjamim dezoito mil homens, todos eles homens de guerra.
From the tribe of Benjamin, eighteen thousand people died, all of them men who were distinguished in battle.
45 Voltando-se logo, fugiram até o deserto, à penha de Rimom, e deles exterminaram cinco mil homens nos caminhos: foram ainda perseguindo-os até Gidom, e mataram deles dois mil homens.
They turned and fled toward the wilderness to the rock of Rimmon. The Israelites killed five thousand more of them along the roads. They kept going after them, following them closely all the way to Gidom, and there they killed two thousand more.
46 Assim todos os que de Benjamim morreram aquele dia, foram vinte e cinco mil homens que tiravam espada, todos eles homens de guerra.
All the soldiers of Benjamin who fell that day were twenty-five thousand—men who were trained to fight with the sword; all of them were distinguished in battle.
47 Porém se voltaram e fugiram ao deserto à penha de Rimom seiscentos homens, os quais estiveram na penha de Rimom quatro meses:
But six hundred men turned and fled to the wilderness, toward the rock of Rimmon. For four months they stayed at the rock of Rimmon.
48 E os homens de Israel voltaram aos filhos de Benjamim, e passaram-nos à espada, a homens e animais na cidade, e tudo o que foi achado: também puseram fogo a todas as cidades que achavam.
The soldiers of Israel turned back against the people of Benjamin and struck them with the edge of the sword, the city, including the animals and everything that they found. They also burned down every town in their path.
