Judges 3

KING JAMES BIBLE	SAGRADA BIBLIA
1 Now these are the nations which the LORD left, to prove Israel by them, even as many of Israel as had not known all the wars of Canaan;	1 Estas são as nações que o Senhor deixou subsistir para provar por meio delas os israelitas, todos aqueles que não tinham visto as guerras de Canaã,
2 Only that the generations of the children of Israel might know, to teach them war, at the least such as before knew nothing thereof;	2 e isso tão-somente para instrução das novas gerações israelitas, a fim de lhes ensinar a combater, ao menos àqueles que não o tinham feito antes.
3 Namely, five lords of the Philistines, and all the Canaanites, and the Sidonians, and the Hivites that dwelt in mount Lebanon, from mount Baal-hermon unto the entering in of Hamath.	3 Eram os cinco príncipes dos filisteus, todos os cananeus, os sidônios, os heveus que habitavam os montes do Líbano, desde a montanha de Baal-Hermon até a entrada de Hamat.
4 And they were to prove Israel by them, to know whether they would hearken unto the commandments of the LORD, which he commanded their fathers by the hand of Moses.	4 Essas nações ficaram para provar Israel, e ver se eles obedeceriam aos mandamentos que o Senhor havia prescrito aos seus pais por intermédio de Moisés.
5 And the children of Israel dwelt among the Canaanites, Hittites, and Amorites, and Perizzites, and Hivites, and Jebusites:	5 Os filhos de Israel habitaram no meio dos cananeus, dos hiteus, dos amorreus, dos ferezeus, dos heveus e dos jebuseus.
6 And they took their daughters to be their wives, and gave their daughters to their sons, and served their gods.	6 Tomaram por mulheres suas filhas e eles mesmos deram suas filhas aos filhos deles, e serviram os seus deuses.
7 And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD, and forgat the LORD their God, and served Baalim and the groves.	7 Os israelitas fizeram o mal aos olhos do Senhor, esqueceram-se do Senhor, seu Deus, e serviram aos baal e às asserá.
8 Therefore the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel, and he sold them into the hand of Chushan-rishathaim king of Mesopotamia: and the children of Israel served Chushan-rishathaim eight years.	8 A ira do Senhor inflamou-se contra Israel, e ele entregou-os nas mãos de Cusã-Rasataim, rei da Mesopotâmia, a quem ficaram sujeitos durante oito anos.
9 And when the children of Israel cried unto the LORD, the LORD raised up a deliverer to the children of Israel, who delivered them, even Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother.	9 Os israelitas clamaram ao Senhor, que lhes suscitou um libertador para salvá-los: Otoniel, filho de Cenez, irmão mais novo de Caleb.
10 And the Spirit of the LORD came upon him, and he judged Israel, and went out to war: and the LORD delivered Chushan-rishathaim king of Mesopotamia into his hand; and his hand prevailed against Chushan-rishathaim.	10 O Espírito do Senhor desceu sobre ele: ele julgou Israel e saiu para a guerra. O Senhor entregou-lhe Cusã-Rasataim, rei da Mesopotâmia, e sua mão triunfou sobre ele.
11 And the land had rest forty years. And Othniel the son of Kenaz died.	11 A terra teve quarenta anos de descanso, e Otoniel, filho de Cenez, morreu.
12 And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the LORD: and the LORD strengthened Eglon the king of Moab against Israel, because they had done evil in the sight of the LORD.	12 Os israelitas fizeram de novo o mal aos olhos do Senhor, e o Senhor excitou contra eles Eglon, rei de Moab, porque tinham feito o mal aos seus olhos.
13 And he gathered unto him the children of Ammon and Amalek, and went and smote Israel, and possessed the city of palm trees.	13 Eglon aliou-se aos filhos de Amon e de Amalec, e pôs-se em marcha contra Israel; derrotou-o e apoderou-se da cidade das Palmeiras.
14 So the children of Israel served Eglon the king of Moab eighteen years.	14 E os israelitas estiveram sujeitos a Eglon, rei de Moab, por dezoito anos.
15 But when the children of Israel cried unto the LORD, the LORD raised them up a deliverer, Ehud the son of Gera, a Benjamite, a man lefthanded: and by him the children of Israel sent a present unto Eglon the king of Moab.	15 Os filhos de Israel clamaram ao Senhor, que lhes suscitou um libertador na pessoa de Aod, o canhoto, filho de Gera, benjaminita. Os filhos de Israel mandaram, por meio dele, um presente a Eglon, rei de Moab.
16 But Ehud made him a dagger which had two edges, of a cubit length; and he did gird it under his raiment upon his right thigh.	16 Aod mandou fazer para si uma espada de dois gumes, de um côvado de comprimento, e a levava debaixo de suas vestes, apoiada na coxa direita.
17 And he brought the present unto Eglon king of Moab: and Eglon was a very fat man.	17 Ele veio e ofereceu o presente a Eglon, rei de Moab, que era muito gordo.
18 And when he had made an end to offer the present, he sent away the people that bare the present.	18 Terminada a cerimônia, levou os homens que tinham trazido o presente
19 But he himself turned again from the quarries that were by Gilgal, and said, I have a secret errand unto thee, O king: who said, Keep silence. And all that stood by him went out from him.	19 até as estelas próximas de Gálgala. Voltou ao rei e disse-lhe: Senhor, tenho uma palavra a dizer-te. Silêncio, ordenou o rei; e todos os seus familiares se retiraram.
20 And Ehud came unto him; and he was sitting in a summer parlour, which he had for himself alone. And Ehud said, I have a message from God unto thee. And he arose out of his seat.	20 Aod entrou; o rei estava assentado, só, no seu quarto de verão. Tenho a dizer-te uma palavra da parte do Senhor, disse Aod. O rei levantou-se do seu trono.
21 And Ehud put forth his left hand, and took the dagger from his right thigh, and thrust it into his belly:	21 E logo tomou Aod com a mão esquerda a espada que trazia na coxa direita e mergulhou-lha no ventre
22 And the haft also went in after the blade; and the fat closed upon the blade, so that he could not draw the dagger out of his belly; and the dirt came out.	22 com tanta força que o próprio cabo entrou após a lâmina, e ficou coberto pela muita gordura. E não retirou do ventre sua espada, cuja lâmina saía por detrás.
23 Then Ehud went forth through the porch, and shut the doors of the parlour upon him, and locked them.	23 Aod saiu pela galeria, depois de ter fechado bem atrás de si as portas do quarto de cima, deixando-as trancadas.
24 When he was gone out, his servants came; and when they saw that, behold, the doors of the parlour were locked, they said, Surely he covereth his feet in his summer chamber.	24 E, tendo ele partido, notaram os servos do rei que as portas estavam fechadas: Sem dúvida, disseram, estará fazendo necessidade, em seu quarto de verão.
25 And they tarried till they were ashamed: and, behold, he opened not the doors of the parlour; therefore they took a key, and opened them: and, behold, their lord was fallen down dead on the earth.	25 Mas, depois de esperarem muito tempo, ficaram alarmados, e, vendo que a porta do apartamento não se abria, tomaram a chave, abriram-na e encontraram o seu senhor morto e estendido por terra.
26 And Ehud escaped while they tarried, and passed beyond the quarries, and escaped unto Seirath.	26 Enquanto isso, Aod fugiu para além das estelas, e foi para Seirat.
27 And it came to pass, when he was come, that he blew a trumpet in the mountain of Ephraim, and the children of Israel went down with him from the mount, and he before them.	27 Logo que chegou à montanha de Efraim, tocou a trombeta e os filhos de Israel desceram da montanha com ele.
28 And he said unto them, Follow after me: for the LORD hath delivered your enemies the Moabites into your hand. And they went down after him, and took the fords of Jordan toward Moab, and suffered not a man to pass over.	28 Segui-me, disse-lhes ele, porque o Senhor entregou-vos os moabitas, vossos inimigos. Eles o seguiram e ocuparam os vaus do Jordão, por onde se vai a Moab, de modo a não deixar passar ninguém.
29 And they slew of Moab at that time about ten thousand men, all lusty, and all men of valour; and there escaped not a man.	29 Mataram então cerca de dez mil homens, todo o escol e todo o vigor de Moab; ninguém escapou.
30 So Moab was subdued that day under the hand of Israel. And the land had rest fourscore years.	30 Naquele dia foi Moab humilhado sob a mão de Israel. E a terra teve um descanso de oitenta anos.
31 And after him was Shamgar the son of Anath, which slew of the Philistines six hundred men with an ox goad: and he also delivered Israel.	31 Depois de Aod, Samgar, filho de Anat, derrotou seiscentos filisteus com um aguilhão de bois. Samgar também foi um libertador para Israel.
