Juízes 2
1 O anjo de Yahweh veio de Gilgal para Bochim. Ele disse: “Eu te tirei do Egito, e te trouxe para a terra que jurei dar a teus pais”. Eu disse: “Eu nunca quebrarei meu pacto com vocês”.
And an angel of the Lord went up from Galgal to the [place of] weeping, and to Baethel, and to the house of Israel, and said to them, Thus says the Lord, I brought you up out of Egypt, and I brought you into the land which I sware to your fathers; and I said, I will never break my covenant that I have made with you.
2 Você não fará nenhum pacto com os habitantes desta terra”. Quebrareis os altares deles”. Mas vocês não escutaram minha voz. Por que você fez isso?
And ye shall make no covenant with them that dwell in this land, neither shall ye worship their gods; but ye shall destroy their graven images, ye shall pull down their altars: but ye hearkened not to my voice, for ye did these things.
3 Por isso eu também disse: 'Não os expulsarei de diante de vós; mas eles estarão ao vosso lado, e os deuses deles serão um laço para vós'”.
And I said, I will not drive them out from before you, but they shall be for a distress to you, and their gods shall be to you for an offence.
4 Quando o anjo de Javé dirigiu estas palavras a todas as crianças de Israel, o povo levantou sua voz e chorou.
And it came to pass when the angel of the Lord spoke these words to all the children of Israel, that the people lifted up their voice, and wept.
5 Chamaram o nome daquele lugar de Bochim, e ali sacrificaram a Iavé.
And they named the name of that place Weepings; and they sacrificed there to the Lord.
6 Now quando Josué havia mandado o povo embora, os filhos de Israel foram cada um para sua herança para possuir a terra.
And Joshua dismissed the people, and they went every man to his inheritance, to inherit the land.
7 O povo serviu a Javé todos os dias de Josué, e todos os dias dos anciãos que sobreviveram a Josué, que tinha visto toda a grande obra de Javé que ele tinha trabalhado para Israel.
And the people served the Lord all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders that lived many days with Joshua, as many as knew all the great work of the Lord, what things he had wrought in Israel.
8 Josué, filho de Nun, o servo de Iavé, morreu, tendo cem e dez anos de idade.
And Joshua the son of Naue, the servant of the Lord, died, a hundred and ten years old.
9 They enterrou-o na fronteira de sua herança em Timnath Heres, na região montanhosa de Efraim, no norte da montanha de Gaash.
And they buried him in the border of his inheritance, in Thamnathares, in mount Ephraim, on the north of the mountain of Gaas.
10 Depois de toda aquela geração ter sido reunida a seus pais, outra geração surgiu depois deles que não conheciam Yahweh, nem o trabalho que ele havia feito por Israel.
And all that generation were laid to their fathers: and another generation rose up after them, who knew not the Lord, nor yet the work which he wrought in Israel.
11 Os filhos de Israel fizeram o que era mau aos olhos de Iavé, e serviram aos Baal.
And the children of Israel wrought evil before the Lord, and served Baalim.
12 Eles abandonaram Iavé, o Deus de seus pais, que os tirou da terra do Egito, e seguiram outros deuses, dos deuses dos povos que os rodeavam, e se curvaram diante deles; e provocaram Iavé à raiva.
And they forsook the Lord God of their fathers, who brought them out of the land of Egypt, and walked after other gods, of the gods of the nations round about them; and they worshipped them.
13 Eles abandonaram Yahweh, e serviram Baal e os Ashtaroth.
And they provoked the Lord, and forsook him, and served Baal and the Astartes.
14 A raiva de Iavé queimou contra Israel, e ele os entregou nas mãos de saqueadores que os saquearam. Ele os vendeu nas mãos de seus inimigos ao redor, para que eles não pudessem mais ficar de pé diante de seus inimigos.
And the Lord was very angry with Israel; and he gave them into the hands of the spoilers, and they spoiled them; and he sold them into the hands of their enemies round about, and they could not any longer resist their enemies,
15 Onde quer que saíssem, a mão de Javé estava contra eles pelo mal, como Javé havia falado, e como Javé havia jurado a eles; e eles estavam muito angustiados.
among whomsoever they went; and the hand of the Lord was against them for evil, as the Lord spoke, and as the Lord sware to them; and he greatly afflicted them.
16 Yahweh levantou juízes, que os salvaram da mão daqueles que os saquearam.
And the Lord raised up judges, and the Lord save them out of the hands of them that spoiled them: and yet they hearkened not to the judges,
17 No entanto, eles não ouviram seus juízes; pois se prostituíram com outros deuses e se curvaram diante deles. Eles rapidamente se afastaram da maneira como seus pais caminhavam, obedecendo aos mandamentos de Javé. Eles não o fizeram.
for they went a whoring after other gods, and worshipped them; and they turned quickly out of the way in which their fathers walked to hearken to the words of the Lord; they did not so.
18 Quando Javé levantou juízes para eles, então Javé estava com o juiz, e os salvou da mão de seus inimigos todos os dias do juiz; pois isso afligia Javé por causa de seus gemidos por causa daqueles que os oprimiam e os perturbavam.
And because the Lord raised them up judges, so the Lord was with the judge, and saved them out of the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge; for the Lord was moved at their groaning by reason of them that besieged them and afflicted them.
19 Mas quando o juiz estava morto, eles voltaram atrás, e trataram de forma mais corrupta que seus pais, seguindo outros deuses para servi-los e curvar-se diante deles. Eles não cessaram o que estavam fazendo, nem desistiram de seus modos teimosos.
And it came to pass when the judge died, that they went back, and again corrupted [themselves] worse than their fathers to go after other gods to serve them an to worship them: they abandoned not their devices nor their stubborn ways.
20 A raiva de Javé ardia contra Israel; e ele disse: “Porque esta nação transgrediu meu pacto que eu ordenei a seus pais, e não ouviu minha voz,
And the Lord was very angry with Israel, and said, Forasmuch as this nation has forsaken my covenant which I commanded their fathers, and has not hearkened to my voice,
21 eu também não expulsarei mais nenhuma das nações que Josué deixou quando morreu antes deles;
therefore I will not any more cast out a man of the nations before their face, which Joshua the son of Naue left in the land. And [the Lord] left [them],
22 que por eles eu possa testar Israel, para ver se eles manterão o caminho de Javé, como seus pais o mantiveram, ou não”.
to prove Israel with them, whether they would keep the way of the Lord, to walk in it, as their fathers kept it, or no.
23 Portanto, Javé deixou essas nações, sem expulsá-las apressadamente. Ele não os entregou nas mãos de Josué.
So the Lord will leave these nations, so as not to cast them out suddenly; and he delivered them not into the hand of Joshua.
