Juízes 3
1 Estas, pois, são as nações que o SENHOR deixou para provar com elas a Israel, a todos aqueles que não haviam conhecido todas as guerras de Canaã;
Now these are the nations that the Lord left, to prove by them the Israelites, namely, all those who had not experienced all the wars of Canaan;
2 Somente para que a linhagem dos filhos de Israel conhecesse, para ensiná-los na guerra, pelo menos aos que antes não a conheciam:
Only in order that the future generations of the children of Israel might obtain knowledge, to teach them war; but only such as before had learned nothing thereof;
3 Cinco príncipes dos filisteus, e todos os cananeus, e os sidônios, e os heveus que habitavam no monte Líbano: desde o monte de Baal-Hermom até chegar a Hamate.
Namely, the five lords of the Philistines, and all the Canaanites, and the Zidonians, and the Hivites that dwelt on mount Lebanon, from mount Ba'al-chermon unto the entrance of Chamath.
4 Estes, pois, foram para provar por eles a Israel, para saber se obedeceriam aos mandamentos do SENHOR, que ele havia prescrito a seus pais por meio de Moisés.
And they were left to prove by them the Israelites, to know whether they would hearken unto the commandments of the Lord, which he had commanded their fathers by the hand of Moses.
5 Assim os filhos de Israel habitavam entre os cananeus, heteus, amorreus, perizeus, heveus, e jebuseus:
And the children of Israel dwelt in the midst of the Canaanites, the Hittites, and the Emorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites;
6 E tomaram de suas filhas por mulheres, e deram suas filhas aos filhos deles, e serviram a seus deuses.
And they took their daughters to themselves for wives, and their daughters they gave to their sons; and they served their gods.
7 Fizeram, pois, os filhos de Israel o mal aos olhos do SENHOR: e esquecidos do SENHOR seu Deus, serviram aos baalins, e aos ídolos dos bosques.
And the children of Israel did [thus] the evil in the eyes of the Lord, and forgot the Lord their God, and served the Be'alim and the groves.
8 E a ira do SENHOR se acendeu contra Israel, e vendeu-os em mãos de Cusã-Risataim rei da Mesopotâmia; e serviram os filhos de Israel a Cusã-Risataim oito anos.

15 E clamaram os filhos de Israel ao SENHOR; e o SENHOR lhes suscitou salvador, a Eúde, filho de Gera, benjamita, o qual era canhoto. E os filhos de Israel enviaram com ele um presente a Eglom rei de Moabe.
But the children of Israel cried then unto the Lord; and the Lord raised up unto them a deliverer, Ehud the son of Gera a Benjamite, a man who was lamed in his right hand; and the children of Israel sent by him a present unto 'Eglon the king of Moab.
16 E Eúde se havia feito um punhal de dois fios, de um côvado de comprimento; e cingiu-se com ele debaixo de suas roupas à seu lado direito.
But Ehud made himself a sword which had two edges, of a cubit length; and he girded it under his garments upon his right thigh.

19 Mas ele se virou desde os ídolos que estão em Gilgal, e disse: Rei, uma palavra secreta tenho que dizer-te. Ele então disse: Cala. E sairam-se de com ele todos os que diante dele estavam.
But he himself returned again from the quarries that were by Gilgal, and said, I have a secret word unto thee, O King. And he said, Keep silence. And thereupon went out from his presence all that stood by him.
20 E chegou-se Eúde a ele, o qual estava sentado sozinho em uma sala de verão. E Eúde disse: Tenho palavra de Deus para ti. Ele então se levantou da cadeira.
And Ehud came in unto him; and he was sitting in the summer upper chamber, which was for himself alone. And Ehud said, I have a word of God unto thee. And he arose out of his chair.
21 Mas Eúde meteu sua mão esquerda, e tomou o punhal de seu lado direito, e meteu-o pelo ventre;
And Ehud stretched forth his left hand, and took the sword from his right thigh, and thrust it into his body.
22 De tal maneira que a empunhadura entrou também atrás a lâmina, e a gordura encerrou a lâmina, que ele não tirou o punhal de seu ventre: e saiu dele fezes.
And the haft also went in after the blade; and the fat closed upon the blade; for he did not draw the sword out of his body, and it passed into the fundament.
23 E saindo Eúde ao pátio, fechou atrás si as portas da sala.
And Ehud went forth into the ante-room, and shut the doors of the upper chamber after him, and locked them.
24 E saído ele, vieram seus servos, os quais vendo as portas da sala fechadas, disseram: Sem dúvida ele está fazendo suas necessidades na sala de verão.
He was just gone out, when his servants came; and they saw, behold, the doors of the upper chamber were locked; and they said, Surely he covereth his feet in the summer chamber.
25 E havendo esperado até estar confusos, pois que ele não abria as portas da sala, tomaram a chave e abriram: e eis que seu senhor caído em terra morto.
And they tarried till they were ashamed; and behold, he opened not the doors of the upper chamber; wherefore they took the key and opened them: and, behold, their lord was lying dead on the floor.
26 Mas enquanto que eles se demoravam, Eúde se escapou, e passando os ídolos, salvou-se em Seirá.
And Ehud had escaped while they were tarrying, and passed beyond the quarries, and escaped unto Se'irah.
27 E quando entrou, tocou a trombeta no monte de Efraim, e os filhos de Israel desceram com ele do monte, e ele ia adiante deles.
And it came to pass, when he was come, that he blew the cornet on the mountain of Ephraim, and the children of Israel went down with him from the mountain, and he before them.
28 Então ele lhes disse: Segui-me, porque o SENHOR entregou vossos inimigos os moabitas em vossas mãos. E desceram atrás dele, e tomaram os vaus do Jordão a Moabe, e não deixaram passar a ninguém.
And he said unto them, Pursue after me; for the Lord hath delivered your enemies, the Moabites, into your hand. And they went down after him, and seized on the fords of the Jordan toward Moab, and suffered not a man to pass over.
29 E naquele tempo feriram dos moabitas como dez mil homens, todos valentes e todos homens de guerra; não escapou homem.
And they smote of Moab at that time about ten thousand men, all lusty, and all men of valor; and there escaped not a man.
