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 which Yahweh left, that he might, by them, put Israel to the proof, —all who had not known any of 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:
that the generations of the sons of Israel might certainly get to know, by being taught to make war, —such, at least, as aforetime knew 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.
five lords of the Philistines, and all the Canaanites, and the Zidonians, and the Hivites dwelling in Mount Lebanon, —from Mount Baal-hermon as far as the entering in of Hamath.
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.
So then [these] were [left], that, by them, he might put Israel to the proof, —to know whether they would hearken unto the commandments of Yahweh which he 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 thus, the sons of Israel, dwelt in the midst of the Canaanites, —the Hittites, and the Amorites, 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 took their daughters to be their wives, their own daughters moreover, gave they unto 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.
Thus did the sons of Israel the thing that was wicked in the sight of Yahweh, and forgat Yahweh their God, —and served the Baals and the Asherahs.
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.
Then kindled the anger of Yahweh upon Israel, and he sold them into the hand of Chushan-rishathaim, king of Mesopotamia, —and the sons of Israel served Chushan-rishathaim, eight years.
9 E clamaram os filhos de Israel ao SENHOR; e o SENHOR suscitou salvador aos filhos de Israel e livrou-os; é, a saber, a Otniel filho de Quenaz, irmão menor de Calebe.
And the sons of Israel made outcry unto Yahweh, so Yahweh raised up a saviour unto the sons of Israel, who saved them, —even Othniel son of Kenaz, Caleb’s younger brother.
10 E o espírito do SENHOR foi sobre ele, e julgou a Israel, e saiu à batalha, e o SENHOR entregou em sua mão a Cusã-Risataim, rei da Síria, e prevaleceu sua mão contra Cusã-Risataim.
And the Spirit of Yahweh came upon him, and he judged Israel, and went out to war, and Yahweh delivered into his hand, Chushan-rishathaim, king of Syria, —and his hand prevailed over Chushan-rishathaim.
11 E repousou a terra quarenta anos; e morreu Otniel, filho de Quenaz.
And the land had rest forty years, —and Othniel son of Kenaz, died.
12 E voltaram os filhos de Israel a fazer o mal ante os olhos do SENHOR; e o SENHOR esforçou a Eglom rei de Moabe contra Israel, porquanto fizeram o mal ante os olhos do SENHOR.
And the sons of Israel again did the thing that was wicked, in the sight of Yahweh, —and Yahweh emboldened Eglon, king of Moab, against Israel, because they did the thing that was wicked in the sight of Yahweh;
13 E Juntou consigo aos filhos de Amom e de Amaleque, e foi, e feriu a Israel, e tomou a cidade das palmeiras.
and he gathered unto him, the sons of Ammon, and Amalek, —and came and smote Israel, and took possession of the city of palm-trees.
14 E serviram os filhos de Israel a Eglom rei dos moabitas dezoito anos.
So the sons of Israel served Eglon king of Moab, eighteen years.
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.
And the sons of Israel made outcry unto Yahweh, and Yahweh raised up unto them a saviour, Ehud son of Gera, a Benjamite, a man left-handed, —and the sons of Israel sent, by his hand, a present, unto Eglon 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.
So Ehud made himself a sword which had two edges, a cubit in length, —and girded it under his raiment, upon his right thigh.
17 E apresentou o presente a Eglom rei de Moabe; e era Eglom homem muito gordo.
So he offered the present unto Eglon, king of Moab, —now, Eglon, was an exceedingly fat man.
18 E logo que apresentou o presente, despediu à gente que o havia trazido.
And so it was, when he had made an end of offering the present, that he sent away the people who had been bearing the present;
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, turned back from the images that were by Gilgal, and said, A secret word, have I, unto thee, O king! And he said—Silence! Thereupon went out from his presence all who had been standing near 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, he, having been sitting in a summer parlour, which he had for himself, alone, and Ehud said, A divine word, have I, unto thee. So he arose from off his seat.
21 Mas Eúde meteu sua mão esquerda, e tomou o punhal de seu lado direito, e meteu-o pelo ventre;
And Ehud put forth his left hand, and took the sword from off 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 handle also, went in after the blade, and the flesh closed upon the blade, for he withdrew not the sword out of his body, —and he came out into the ante-chamber.
23 E saindo Eúde ao pátio, fechou atrás si as portas da sala.
And, when Ehud came out into the porch, he closed the doors of the parlour upon him, and bolted 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.
When, he, had come out, his servants, went in, and looked, and lo! the doors of the parlour were bolted, —so 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.
But, though they tarried a long time, yet lo! he opened not the doors of the parlour, —so they took the key, and opened [them], when lo! their lord, fallen to the ground dead.
26 Mas enquanto que eles se demoravam, Eúde se escapou, e passando os ídolos, salvou-se em Seirá.
But, Ehud, escaped while they delayed, —yea, he, passed the images, and escaped into Seirah.
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 so it was, when he came, that he blew with a horn, throughout the hill country of Ephraim, —and the sons of Israel came down with him, out of the hill country, he, being 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—Come down after me, for Yahweh hath delivered your enemies, the Moabites, into your hand. So they came down after him, and captured the fords of the Jordan, towards 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, every one a mighty man, and every one a man of valour, —and, there escaped not a man.
30 Assim restou Moabe subjugado aquele dia sob a mão de Israel: e repousou a terra oitenta anos.
And Moab was subdued on that day, under the hand of Israel. And the land had rest eighty years, and Ehud judged them until his death.
31 Depois deste foi Sangar filho de Anate, o qual feriu seiscentos homens dos filisteus com uma aguilhada de bois; e ele também salvou a Israel.
And, after him, was Shamgar, son of Anath, who smote of the Philistines, six hundred men, with an ox-goad, —and, he also, saved Israel.
