Juízes 20
1 Então todas as crianças de Israel saíram, e a congregação foi reunida como um só homem, desde Dan até Berseba, com a terra de Gilead, até Yahweh em Mizpah.
Then all the children of Israel went out, and the congregation was gathered together as one man, from Dan even to Beersheba, with the land of Gilead, to the LORD in Mizpeh.
2 Os chefes de todo o povo, mesmo de todas as tribos de Israel, se apresentaram na assembléia do povo de Deus, quatrocentos mil homens de pé que desembainharam a espada.
And the chief of all the people, even of all the tribes of Israel, presented themselves in the assembly of the people of God, four hundred thousand footmen that drew sword.
3 (Agora os filhos de Benjamim ouviram que os filhos de Israel tinham subido a Mizpá). Os filhos de Israel disseram: “Diga-nos, como aconteceu esta maldade?”.
(Now the children of Benjamin heard that the children of Israel were gone up to Mizpeh.) Then said the children of Israel, Tell us, how was this wickedness?
4 O Levite, o marido da mulher que foi assassinada, respondeu: “Entrei em Gibeah que pertence a Benjamin, eu e minha concubina, para passar a noite.
And the Levite, the husband of the woman that was slain, answered and said, I came into Gibeah that belongs to Benjamin, I and my concubine, to lodge.
5 Os homens de Gibeah se levantaram contra mim, e cercaram a casa à noite. Eles tinham a intenção de me matar e violaram minha concubina, e ela está morta”.
And the men of Gibeah rose against me, and beset the house round about on me by night, and thought to have slain me: and my concubine have they forced, that she is dead.
6 Peguei minha concubina e a cortei em pedaços, e a enviei por todo o país da herança de Israel; pois cometeram lascívia e loucura em Israel.
And I took my concubine, and cut her in pieces, and sent her throughout all the country of the inheritance of Israel: for they have committed lewdness and folly in Israel.
7 Eis que vocês, filhos de Israel, todos vocês, dêem aqui seus conselhos e conselhos”.
Behold, you are all children of Israel; give here your advice and counsel.
8 Todas as pessoas se levantaram como um só homem, dizendo: “Nenhum de nós irá à sua tenda, nem nenhum de nós irá à sua casa”.
And all the people arose as one man, saying, We will not any of us go to his tent, neither will we any of us turn into his house.
9 Mas agora isto é o que faremos com Gibeah: enfrentaremos por sorte;
But now this shall be the thing which we will do to Gibeah; we will go up by lot against it;
10 e levaremos dez homens de cem em todas as tribos de Israel, e cem de mil, e mil de dez mil para conseguir comida para o povo, para que possam fazer, quando vierem a Gibeah de Benjamim, de acordo com toda a loucura que os homens de Gibeah fizeram em Israel”.
And we will take ten men of an hundred throughout all the tribes of Israel, and an hundred of a thousand, and a thousand out of ten thousand, to fetch victual for the people, that they may do, when they come to Gibeah of Benjamin, according to all the folly that they have worked in Israel.
11 Assim, todos os homens de Israel estavam reunidos contra a cidade, unidos como um só homem.
So all the men of Israel were gathered against the city, knit together as one man.
12 As tribos de Israel enviaram homens por toda a tribo de Benjamin, dizendo: “Que maldade é essa que tem acontecido entre vocês?
And the tribes of Israel sent men through all the tribe of Benjamin, saying, What wickedness is this that is done among you?
13 Portanto, agora entreguem os homens, os malvados que estão em Gibeá, para que os matemos e afastemos de Israel o mal”. Mas Benjamin não quis ouvir a voz de seus irmãos, os filhos de Israel.
Now therefore deliver us the men, the children of Belial, which are in Gibeah, that we may put them to death, and put away evil from Israel. But the children of Benjamin would not listen to the voice of their brothers the children of Israel.
14 Os filhos de Benjamin se reuniram fora das cidades para Gibeah, para sair para lutar contra os filhos de Israel.
But the children of Benjamin gathered themselves together out of the cities to Gibeah, to go out to battle against the children of Israel.
15 Os filhos de Benjamim foram contados naquele dia dentre as cidades vinte e seis mil homens que desembainharam a espada, além dos habitantes de Gibeá, que foram contados setecentos homens escolhidos.
And the children of Benjamin were numbered at that time out of the cities twenty and six thousand men that drew sword, beside the inhabitants of Gibeah, which were numbered seven hundred chosen men.
16 Entre todos esses soldados, havia setecentos homens escolhidos que eram canhotos. Cada um deles podia atirar uma pedra a um cabelo e não falhar.
Among all this people there were seven hundred chosen men left handed; every one could sling stones at an hair breadth, and not miss.
17 Os homens de Israel, além de Benjamim, foram contados quatrocentos mil homens que desembainharam a espada. Todos estes eram homens de guerra.
And the men of Israel, beside Benjamin, were numbered four hundred thousand men that drew sword: all these were men of war.
18 Os filhos de Israel se levantaram, subiram a Betel e pediram conselho a Deus. Perguntaram: “Quem subirá por nós primeiro para lutar contra as crianças de Benjamin?”. Yahweh disse: “Judah primeiro”.
And the children of Israel arose, and went up to the house of God, and asked counsel of God, and said, Which of us shall go up first to the battle against the children of Benjamin? And the LORD said, Judah shall go up first.
19 As crianças de Israel se levantaram pela manhã e acamparam contra Gibeah.
And the children of Israel rose up in the morning, and encamped against Gibeah.
20 Os homens de Israel saíram para lutar contra Benjamim; e os homens de Israel ordenaram a batalha contra eles em Gibeah.
And the men of Israel went out to battle against Benjamin; and the men of Israel put themselves in array to fight against them at Gibeah.
21 As crianças de Benjamim saíram de Gibeah, e naquele dia destruíram vinte e dois mil dos homens israelitas até o chão.
And the children of Benjamin came forth out of Gibeah, and destroyed down to the ground of the Israelites that day twenty and two thousand men.
22 O povo, os homens de Israel, se encorajaram, e ordenaram a batalha novamente no lugar onde se ordenaram no primeiro dia.
And the people the men of Israel encouraged themselves, and set their battle again in array in the place where they put themselves in array the first day.
23 As crianças de Israel subiram e choraram diante de Javé até a noite; e perguntaram a Javé, dizendo: “Devo eu me aproximar novamente para lutar contra as crianças de Benjamim, meu irmão? Yahweh disse: “Vá contra ele”.
(And the children of Israel went up and wept before the LORD until even, and asked counsel of the LORD, saying, Shall I go up again to battle against the children of Benjamin my brother? And the LORD said, Go up against him.)
24 As crianças de Israel se aproximaram contra as crianças de Benjamin no segundo dia.
And the children of Israel came near against the children of Benjamin the second day.
25 Benjamin saiu contra eles de Gibeah no segundo dia, e destruiu até o solo das crianças de Israel novamente dezoito mil homens. Todos eles desembainharam a espada.
And Benjamin went forth against them out of Gibeah the second day, and destroyed down to the ground of the children of Israel again eighteen thousand men; all these drew the sword.
26 Então todas as crianças de Israel e todo o povo subiram, e vieram a Betel, e choraram, e se sentaram ali diante de Javé, e jejuaram naquele dia até a noite; depois ofereceram holocaustos e ofertas de paz diante de Javé.
Then all the children of Israel, and all the people, went up, and came to the house of God, and wept, and sat there before the LORD, and fasted that day until even, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the LORD.
27 Os filhos de Israel perguntaram a Javé (pois a arca da aliança de Deus estava lá naqueles dias,
And the children of Israel inquired of the LORD, (for the ark of the covenant of God was there in those days,
28 e Finéias, o filho de Eleazar, filho de Aarão, estava diante dela naqueles dias), dizendo: “Devo sair novamente para lutar contra os filhos de Benjamim, meu irmão, ou devo parar? Yahweh disse: “Suba; pois amanhã eu o entregarei em suas mãos”.
And Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron, stood before it in those days, ) saying, Shall I yet again go out to battle against the children of Benjamin my brother, or shall I cease? And the LORD said, Go up; for to morrow I will deliver them into your hand.
29 Israel armou emboscadas ao redor de Gibeah.
And Israel set liers in wait round about Gibeah.
30 As crianças de Israel enfrentaram as crianças de Benjamin no terceiro dia, e se colocaram em uma ordem contra Gibeah, como em outros momentos.
And the children of Israel went up against the children of Benjamin on the third day, and put themselves in array against Gibeah, as at other times.
31 As crianças de Benjamim saíram contra o povo, e foram afastadas da cidade; e começaram a atacar e matar o povo como em outros momentos, nas estradas, das quais uma sobe para Betel e a outra para Gibeá, no campo, cerca de trinta homens de Israel.
And the children of Benjamin went out against the people, and were drawn away from the city; and they began to smite of the people, and kill, as at other times, in the highways, of which one goes up to the house of God, and the other to Gibeah in the field, about thirty men of Israel.
32 As crianças de Benjamin disseram: “Eles são abatidos diante de nós, como no início”. Mas as crianças de Israel disseram: “Vamos fugir, e afastá-los da cidade para as estradas”.
And the children of Benjamin said, They are smitten down before us, as at the first. But the children of Israel said, Let us flee, and draw them from the city to the highways.
33 Todos os homens de Israel se levantaram de seu lugar e se colocaram em ordem em Baal Tamar. Então os emboscadores de Israel fugiram de seu lugar, até mesmo de Maareh Geba.
And all the men of Israel rose up out of their place, and put themselves in array at Baaltamar: and the liers in wait of Israel came forth out of their places, even out of the meadows of Gibeah.
34 Dez mil homens escolhidos de todo Israel vieram contra Gibeah, e a batalha foi severa; mas eles não sabiam que o desastre estava próximo a eles.
And there came against Gibeah ten thousand chosen men out of all Israel, and the battle was sore: but they knew not that evil was near them.
35 Yahweh atingiu Benjamin antes de Israel; e as crianças de Israel destruíram de Benjamin naquele dia vinte e cinco mil e cem homens. Todos eles desembainharam a espada.
And the LORD smote Benjamin before Israel: and the children of Israel destroyed of the Benjamites that day twenty and five thousand and an hundred men: all these drew the sword.
36 Então os filhos de Benjamim viram que foram atingidos, pois os homens de Israel cederam a Benjamim porque confiaram nos emboscadores que haviam colocado contra Gibeah.
So the children of Benjamin saw that they were smitten: for the men of Israel gave place to the Benjamites, because they trusted to the liers in wait which they had set beside Gibeah.
37 Os emboscadores apressaram-se e correram para Gibeá; depois os emboscadores se espalharam e atingiram toda a cidade com o fio da espada.
And the liers in wait hurried, and rushed on Gibeah; and the liers in wait drew themselves along, and smote all the city with the edge of the sword.
38 Agora, o sinal apontado entre os homens de Israel e os emboscadores era que eles deveriam fazer uma grande nuvem de fumaça se erguer da cidade.
Now there was an appointed sign between the men of Israel and the liers in wait, that they should make a great flame with smoke rise up out of the city.
39 Os homens de Israel voltaram-se para a batalha, e Benjamin começou a atacar e matar os homens de Israel cerca de trinta pessoas; pois eles disseram: “Certamente eles foram atacados diante de nós, como na primeira batalha”.
And when the men of Israel retired in the battle, Benjamin began to smite and kill of the men of Israel about thirty persons: for they said, Surely they are smitten down before us, as in the first battle.
40 Mas quando a nuvem começou a subir da cidade em um pilar de fumaça, os benjamitas olharam atrás deles; e eis que toda a cidade subiu em fumaça para o céu.
But when the flame began to arise up out of the city with a pillar of smoke, the Benjamites looked behind them, and, behold, the flame of the city ascended up to heaven.
41 Os homens de Israel voltaram-se, e os homens de Benjamim ficaram consternados; pois viram que o desastre tinha vindo sobre eles.
And when the men of Israel turned again, the men of Benjamin were amazed: for they saw that evil was come on them.
42 Por isso viraram as costas diante dos homens de Israel para o caminho do deserto, mas a batalha os seguiu com força; e aqueles que saíram das cidades os destruíram no meio do deserto.
Therefore they turned their backs before the men of Israel to the way of the wilderness; but the battle overtook them; and them which came out of the cities they destroyed in the middle of them.
43 Eles cercaram os benjamitas, perseguiram-nos e os pisaram em seu lugar de descanso, até perto de Gibeá, em direção ao nascer do sol.
Thus they enclosed the Benjamites round about, and chased them, and stepped them down with ease over against Gibeah toward the sun rise.
44 Dezoito mil homens de Benjamin caíram; todos eles eram homens de valor.
And there fell of Benjamin eighteen thousand men; all these were men of valor.
45 Eles se voltaram e fugiram em direção ao deserto, para a rocha de Rimmon. Eles colheram cinco mil homens deles nas estradas, e os seguiram com força até Gidom, e atingiram dois mil homens deles.
And they turned and fled toward the wilderness to the rock of Rimmon: and they gleaned of them in the highways five thousand men; and pursued hard after them to Gidom, and slew two thousand men of them.
46 Para que todos os que caíram naquele dia de Benjamin fossem vinte e cinco mil homens que desembainharam a espada. Todos estes homens eram homens de valor.
So that all which fell that day of Benjamin were twenty and five thousand men that drew the sword; all these were men of valor.
47 Mas seiscentos homens se voltaram e fugiram em direção ao deserto para a rocha de Rimmon, e permaneceram na rocha de Rimmon quatro meses.
But six hundred men turned and fled to the wilderness to the rock Rimmon, and stayed in the rock Rimmon four months.
48 Os homens de Israel voltaram-se novamente contra as crianças de Benjamin, e atingiram-nas com o fio da espada - incluindo a cidade inteira, o gado e tudo o que encontraram. Além disso, eles incendiaram todas as cidades que encontraram.
And the men of Israel turned again on the children of Benjamin, and smote them with the edge of the sword, as well the men of every city, as the beast, and all that came to hand: also they set on fire all the cities that they came to.
