< Juízes 4 >

1 As crianças de Israel fizeram novamente o que era mau aos olhos de Iavé, quando Ehud estava morto.
And the children of Israel continued to do evil against the Lord; and Aod was dead.
2 Yahweh os vendeu na mão de Jabin, rei de Canaã, que reinou em Hazor; o capitão de cujo exército era Sisera, que vivia em Harosheth dos gentios.
And the Lord sold the children of Israel into the hand of Jabin king of Chanaan, who ruled in Asor; and the chief of his host was Sisara, and he lived in Arisoth of the Gentiles.
3 Os filhos de Israel clamaram a Javé, pois ele tinha novecentos carros de ferro; e ele oprimiu poderosamente os filhos de Israel por vinte anos.
And the children of Israel cried to the Lord, because he had nine hundred chariots of iron; and he mightily oppressed Israel twenty years.
4 Agora Deborah, uma profetisa, esposa de Lappidoth, julgou Israel naquela época.
And Debbora, a prophetess, the wife of Lapidoth, —she judged Israel at that time.
5 Ela vivia sob a palmeira de Débora entre Ramá e Betel, na região montanhosa de Efraim; e os filhos de Israel se aproximaram dela para julgamento.
And she sat under the palm tree of Debbora between Rama and Baethel in mount Ephraim; and the children of Israel went up to her for judgement.
6 Ela enviou e chamou Barak, o filho de Abinoão, de Kedesh Naftali, e disse-lhe: “O Senhor Javé, o Deus de Israel, não lhe ordenou: 'Vai e guia o caminho para o Monte Tabor, e leva contigo dez mil homens dos filhos de Naftali e dos filhos de Zebulom?
And Debbora sent and called Barac the son of Abineem out of Cades Nephthali, and she said to him, Has not the Lord God of Israel commanded you? and you shall depart to mount Thabor, and shall take with yourself ten thousand men of the sons of Nephthali and of the sons of Zabulon.
7 atrairei a você, ao rio Kishon, Sisera, o capitão do exército de Jabin, com suas carruagens e sua multidão; e eu o entregarei em suas mãos”.
And I will bring to you to the torrent of Kison Sisara the captain of the host of Jabin, and his chariots, and his multitude, and I will deliver them into your hands.
8 Barak disse-lhe: “Se você for comigo, eu irei; mas se você não for comigo, eu não irei”.
And Barac said to her, If you will go with me, I will go; and if you will not go, I will not go; for I know not the day on which the Lord prospers his messenger with me.
9 Ela disse: “Eu certamente irei com você”. No entanto, a viagem que você fizer não será por sua honra; pois Yahweh venderá Sisera na mão de uma mulher”. Deborah se levantou, e foi com Barak para Kedesh.
And she said, I will surely go with you; but know that your honour shall not attend on the expedition on which you go, for the Lord shall sell Sisara into the hands of a women: and Debbora arose, and went with Barac out of Cades.
10 Barak chamou Zebulun e Naftali juntos para Kedesh. Dez mil homens o seguiram; e Deborah subiu com ele.
And Barac called Zabulon and Nephthali out of Cades, and there went up at his feet ten thousand men, and Debbora went up with him.
11 Now Heber, o quenita, havia se separado dos quenitas, mesmo dos filhos de Hobab, cunhado de Moisés, e havia armado sua tenda até o carvalho em Zaanannim, que é de Kedesh.
And Chaber the Kenite had removed from Caina, from the sons of Jobab the father-in-law of Moses, and pitched his tent by the oak of the covetous ones, which is near Kedes.
12 Eles disseram a Sisera que Barak, filho de Abinoam, tinha subido ao Monte Tabor.
And it was told Sisara that Barac the son of Abineem was gone up to mount Thabor.
13 Sisera reuniu todas as suas carruagens, até mesmo novecentas carruagens de ferro, e todas as pessoas que estavam com ele, desde Harosheth dos Gentios, até o rio Kishon.
And Sisara summoned all his chariots, nine hundred chariots of iron and all the people with him, from Arisoth of the Gentiles to the brook of Kison.
14 Deborah disse a Barak: “Vá; pois este é o dia em que Javé entregou Sisera em suas mãos”. Yahweh não saiu antes de você”? Então Barak desceu do Monte Tabor, e dez mil homens atrás dele.
And Debbora said to Barac, Rise up, for this [is] the day on which the Lord has delivered Sisara into your hand, for the Lord shall go forth before you: and Barac went down from mount Thabor, and ten thousand men after him.
15 Javé confundiu Sisera, todas as suas carruagens e todo seu exército, com o fio da espada antes de Barak. Sisera abandonou sua carruagem e fugiu em seus pés.
And the Lord discomfited Sisara, and all his chariots, and all his army, with the edge of the sword before Barac: and Sisara descended from off his chariot, and fled on his feet.
16 Mas Barak perseguiu as carruagens e o exército até Harosheth dos Gentios; e todo o exército de Sisera caiu ao fio da espada. Não restava um homem.
And Barac pursued after the chariots and after the army, into Arisoth of the Gentiles; and the whole army of Sisara fell by the edge of the sword, there was not one left.
17 However Sisera fugiu de pé para a tenda de Jael, a esposa de Heber, o Kenita; pois havia paz entre Jabin, o rei de Hazor, e a casa de Heber, o Kenita.
And Sisara fled on his feet to the tent of Jael the wife of Chaber the Kenite his friend: for there was peace between Jabin king of Asor and the house of Chaber the Kenite.
18 Jael saiu ao encontro de Sisera e lhe disse: “Entregue-se, meu senhor, entregue-se a mim; não tenha medo”. Ele veio até ela na tenda, e ela o cobriu com um tapete.
And Jael went, out to meet Sisara, and said to him, Turn aside, my lord, turn aside to me, fear not: and he turned aside to her into the tent; and she covered him with a mantle.
19 Ele disse a ela: “Por favor, me dê um pouco de água para beber; pois estou com sede”. Ela abriu um recipiente de leite, deu-lhe uma bebida, e o cobriu.
And Sisara said to her, Give me, I pray you, a little water to drink, for I am thirsty: and she opened a bottle of milk, and gave him to drink, and covered him.
20 Ele lhe disse: “Fique na porta da tenda, e se algum homem vier e lhe perguntar: 'Há algum homem aqui?' você dirá: 'Não'”.
And Sisara said to her, Stand now by the door of the tent, and it shall come to pass if any man come to you, and ask of you, and say, Is there [any] man here? then you shall say, There is not.
21 Então Jael, esposa de Heber, pegou uma estaca de barraca, pegou um martelo na mão e foi suavemente até ele, e bateu com o pino em seus templos, e furou no chão, pois ele estava em um sono profundo; então ele desmaiou e morreu.
And Jael the wife of Chaber took a pin of the tent, and took a hammer in her hand, and went secretly to him, and fastened the pin in his temple, and it went through to the earth, and he fainted away, and darkness fell upon him and he died.
22 Eis que, enquanto Barak perseguia Sisera, Jael saiu ao seu encontro e lhe disse: “Venha, e eu lhe mostrarei o homem que você procura”. Ele veio até ela; e eis que Sísera estava morto, e a estaca da tenda estava em seus templos.
And, behold, Barac [was] pursuing Sisara: and Jael went out to meet him, and he said to him, Come, and I will show you the man whom you seek: and he went in to her; and, behold, Sisara was fallen dead, and the pin [was] in his temple.
23 Então, Deus subjugou Jabin, o rei de Canaã, diante dos filhos de Israel naquele dia.
So God routed Jabin king of Chanaan in that day before the children of Israel.
24 A mão dos filhos de Israel prevaleceu cada vez mais contra Jabim, o rei de Canaã, até que eles destruíram Jabim, rei de Canaã.
And the hand of the children of Israel prevailed more and more against Jabin king of Chanaan, until they utterly destroyed Jabin king of Chanaan.
