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 went forth all the sons of Israel, and the assembly came together as one man, from Dan even to Beersheba with the land of Gilead, —unto Yahweh at Mizpah.

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 chiefs of all the people—all the tribes of Israel—presented themselves in the convocation of the people of God, —four hundred thousand footmen, that drew the 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?”.

And the sons of Benjamin heard that the sons of Israel had gone up to Mizpah. Then said the sons of Israel, Tell [us], In what manner was brought to pass this vileness?

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, husband of the woman that was cut in pieces, responded and said, —Into Gibeah that pertaineth to Benjamin, I entered, I and my concubine, to tarry the night.

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 owners of Gibeah rose up against me, and beset the house, for my sake, by night, —me, they thought to slay, and, my concubine, they so humbled, that she died.

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.

So I laid hold on my concubine, and cut her in pieces, and sent her throughout all the country of the inheritance of Israel, —because they had wrought lewdness and impiety, in Israel.

7 Eis que vocês, filhos de Israel, todos vocês, dêem aqui seus conselhos e conselhos”.

Lo! ye all, are sons of Israel, —give your word and counsel, here.

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”.

Then arose all the people, as one man, saying, —No man of us will go to his tent, and no man of us will turn aside to his house.

9 Mas agora isto é o que faremos com Gibeah: enfrentaremos por sorte;

Now, therefore, this is the thing, that we will do to Gibeah, —[Go] against it by lot;

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 a hundred, of all the tribes of Israel, and a hundred of a thousand, and a thousand of ten thousand, to fetch provisions for the people, —that they may do, when they come to Gibeah of Benjamin, according to all the impiety that it hath wrought 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 together against the city, as one man knit together.

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 throughout all the divisions of Benjamin, saying, —What is this vile thing that hath been brought to pass, 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 up the men—the sons of the Abandoned One—who are in Gibeah, that we may put them to death, and vileness be consumed out of Israel. But [the sons of] Benjamin would not hearken unto the voice of their brethren, the sons of Israel.

14 Os filhos de Benjamin se reuniram fora das cidades para Gibeah, para sair para lutar contra os filhos de Israel.

Then did the sons of Benjamin gather themselves together out of the cities, unto Gibeah, —to go forth to battle against the sons 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 sons of Benjamin were numbered on that day, out of the cities, twenty-six thousand men, that drew the sword, —besides, of the inhabitants of Gibeah, 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.

Out of all this people, were seven hundred chosen men, left-handed, —any one of whom could sling with a stone to a hair’s-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, were numbered, apart from Benjamin, four hundred thousand men, that drew the sword, —every one of these being a man 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 they arose, and went up to Bethel, and asked of God, and the sons of Israel said, Who shall go up for us first, to fight against the sons of Benjamin? And Yahweh said—Judah, first.

19 As crianças de Israel se levantaram pela manhã e acamparam contra Gibeah.

And the sons of Israel arose 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 forth, to fight against Benjamin, —so the men of Israel set themselves in array against them, to fight against Gibeah.

21 As crianças de Benjamim saíram de Gibeah, e naquele dia destruíram vinte e dois mil dos homens israelitas até o chão.

Then came forth the sons of Benjamin out of Gibeah, —and laid low of Israel, on that day, twenty-two thousand men, to the ground.

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 again set themselves in array for battle in the place where they had set themselves in array on 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”.

Now the sons of Israel had gone up, and wept before Yahweh, until the evening, and asked of Yahweh, saying, Shall I again draw near to battle against the sons of Benjamin, my brother? And Yahweh said, Go up against him.

24 As crianças de Israel se aproximaram contra as crianças de Benjamin no segundo dia.

So the sons of Israel came near against the sons of Benjamin, on 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 came forth to meet them out of Gibeah, on the second day, and laid low, of the sons of Israel, yet eighteen thousand men, to the ground, —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 went up all the sons of Israel, and all the people, and came to Bethel, and wept, and tarried there before Yahweh, and fasted on that day, until the evening, —and caused to go up ascending-sacrifices and peace-offerings, before Yahweh.

27 Os filhos de Israel perguntaram a Javé (pois a arca da aliança de Deus estava lá naqueles dias,

And the sons of Israel asked of Yahweh, —there, being the ark of the covenant of God, 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, son of Eleazar, son of Aaron, was standing before it in those days, saying: Shall I yet again go forth to battle, against the sons of Benjamin, my brother, or shall I forbear? And Yahweh said—Go up, for, to-morrow, will I deliver him into thy hand.

29 Israel armou emboscadas ao redor de Gibeah.

And Israel set liers in wait against Gibeah, round about.

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.

So the sons of Israel went up against the sons of Benjamin, on the third day, —and set themselves in array against Gibeah, as time after time.

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 sons of Benjamin came forth against the people, they were drawn away from the city, —and began to smite of the people, slaying as time after time, in the highways, whereof, one, goeth up to Bethel, and, the other, to Gibeah in the field, about thirty men in 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”.

Then said the sons of Benjamin, They are, being smitten, before us, as at the first. But the sons of Israel had said—Let us flee, and draw them away from the city, into 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 set themselves in array in Baal-tamar, —and, the liers in wait of Israel, began to break forth out of their place, out of the forest 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 over against Gibeah ten thousand chosen men, out of all Israel, and the battle was severe, —they, not knowing that disaster was overtaking 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.

Thus Yahweh smote Benjamin before Israel, and the sons of Israel destroyed in Benjamin, that day, twenty-five thousand and one 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 sons of Benjamin saw that they were smitten, —and that the men of Israel had given place to Benjamin, because they trusted to the liers in wait, whom they had set near 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, hasted, and rushed upon Gibeah, —and the liers in wait marched forward, 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, the appointed sign, between the men of Israel and the liers in wait, had been, —to cause a great cloud of smoke to ascend 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”.

So, when the men of Israel turned in the battle, —and, the Benjamites, began to smite and slay of the sons of Israel, about thirty men, for they said, Yea! they are, smitten, 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.

then, the cloud, began to ascend out of the city, a pillar of smoke, —and the Benjamites looked behind them, and lo! the whole city flamed up towards the heavens.

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, then were the men of Benjamin dismayed, —for they saw that disaster had overtaken 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.

And, when they turned before the men of Israel unto the way of the desert, the battle, over took them, —while, as for them that came out of the cities, they began to destroy them in their midst: —

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.

they hemmed in the Benjamites, they pursued them, with ease, trode they them down, —as far as over against Gibeah, towards sunrise.

44 Dezoito mil homens de Benjamin caíram; todos eles eram homens de valor.

So there fell of Benjamin, eighteen thousand men, —all these being men of valour.

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, when they turned and fled towards the desert unto the cliff Rimmon, then gleaned they of them, in the highways, five thousand men, —and they followed hard after them as far as Gidom, and smote of them, two thousand men.

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 then it came to pass that, all the fallen of Benjamin, were twenty-five thousand men, that drew the sword, on that day, —all these being men of valour.

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 there turned and fled, towards the desert, unto the cliff Rimmon, six hundred men, —who abode in the cliff 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.

Thus, the men of Israel, turned against the sons of Benjamin, and smote them with the edge of the sword, beginning with the city, each and every one down to the beast, even to every one that was met with, —moreover, all the cities they came to, they set on fire.
