Judges 1

NEW JERUSALEM	SAGRADA BIBLIA
1 Now after Joshua's death, the Israelites consulted Yahweh, asking, 'Which of us is to march on theCanaanites first, to make war on them?'	1 Depois da morte de Josué, os israelitas consultaram o Senhor: Quem dentre nós será o primeiro a combater os cananeus?
2 And Yahweh replied, 'Judah is to march on them first; I am delivering the country into his hands.'	2 O Senhor respondeu: Judá, pois eu entregarei a terra nas suas mãos.
3 Judah then said to his brother Simeon, 'March with me into the territory al otted to me; we shall makewar on the Canaanites, and then I in my turn shal march into your territory with you.' And Simeon marched withhim.	3 Então Judá disse a Simeão, seu irmão: Vem comigo à terra que me coube por sorte, para combatermos contra os cananeus. Depois irei contigo à tua terra. Simeão partiu com ele.
4 So Judah marched on them, and Yahweh delivered the Canaanites and Perizzites into their hands, andthey defeated them at Bezek-ten thousand of them!	4 Judá travou combate e o Senhor entregou-lhe os cananeus e os ferezeus; derrotaram dez mil homens em Bezec.
5 At Bezek they came upon Adoni-Bezek; they joined battle with him and defeated the Canaanites andPerizzites.	5 Ali encontraram Adoni-Bezec, atacaram-no e derrotaram os cananeus e os ferezeus.
6 Adoni-Bezek took to flight, but they chased and captured him and cut off his thumbs and big toes.	6 Adoni-Bezec fugiu, mas eles o perseguiram, prenderam-no e cortaram-lhe os polegares das mãos e os hálux dos pés.
7 Adoni-Bezek said, 'Seventy kings with their thumbs and big toes cut off used to pick up the crumbsunder my table. As I did, God does to me.' He was taken to Jerusalem, and there he died.	7 Adoni-Bezec disse: Setenta reis, com os polegares das mãos e os hálux dos pés cortados, apanhavam debaixo de minha mesa os sobejos da comida. Como eu fiz, assim Deus me faz. E conduziram-no a Jerusalém, onde morreu.
8 (The sons of Judah attacked Jerusalem and took it: they put its people to the sword and set fire to thecity.)	8 Os juditas atacaram Jerusalém e tomaram-na. Passaram os seus habitantes ao fio da espada e incendiaram a cidade.
9 After this the sons of Judah went down to make war on the Canaanites who were living in the highlands,the Negeb and the lowlands.	9 Desceram dali e combateram os cananeus das montanhas, do meio-dia e da planície.
10 Judah next marched on the Canaanites living in Hebron -- the name of Hebron in olden days wasKiriath-Arba -- and beat Sheshai, Ahiman and Talmai.	10 Judá marchou contra os cananeus de Hebron {chamada antigamente Cariat-Arbé}, e derrotou Sesai, Aimã e Tolmai.
11 From there, he marched on the inhabitants of Debir -- the name of Debir in olden days was Kiriath-Sepher.	11 Marchou depois contra os habitantes de Dabir, que antigamente se chamava Cariat-Sefer.
12 Caleb said, 'To the man who conquers and captures Kiriath-Sepher, I shal give my daughter Achsahas wife.'	12 Caleb tinha dito: Àquele que combater e tomar Cariat-Sefer darei por mulher minha filha Axa.
13 The man who captured it was Othniel son of Kenaz, younger brother of Caleb, who gave him hisdaughter Achsah as wife.	13 Otoniel, filho de Cenez, irmão mais novo de Caleb, tomou a cidade; e Caleb deu-lhe sua filha Axa por mulher.
14 When she arrived, he urged her to ask her father for arable land, but when she alighted from thedonkey and Caleb asked her, 'What is the matter?'	14 Chegando Axa à casa de seu marido, ele moveu-a a que pedisse um campo ao seu pai. {E pela segunda vez} ela saltou de seu jumento, e Caleb disse-lhe: Que tens?
15 she said to him, 'Grant me a blessing! As the land you have given me is the Negeb, give me springs ofwater, too!' So Caleb gave her what she wanted: the upper springs and the lower springs.	15 Dá-me, respondeu ela, um presente. Instalaste-me em uma terra árida; dá-me também fontes de água! E Caleb deu-lhe as fontes superiores e inferiores.
16 The sons of Hobab the Kenite, father-in-law of Moses, marched up with the sons of Judah from theCity of Palm Trees into the desert of Judah lying in the Negeb of Arad, where they went and settled among thepeople.	16 Os filhos de Hobab, o quenita, cunhado de Moisés, subiram da cidade das Palmeiras com os juditas, no deserto de Judá, ao sul de Arad, e vieram estabelecer-se com o povo.
17 Judah then set out with his brother Simeon. They beat the Canaanites who lived in Zephath anddelivered it over to the curse of destruction; hence the town was given the name of Hormah.	17 Judá prosseguiu sua marcha com Simeão, seu irmão, e derrotaram os cananeus de Sefaat. Votaram a cidade ao interdito e ela recebeu o nome de Horma.
18 Judah then captured Gaza and its territory, Ashkelon and its territory, Ekron and its territory.AndYahweh was with Judah, who made himself master of the highlands;	18 Judá tomou também Gaza e seu território, bem como Ascalon e Acaron com seus territórios.
19 he could not, however, dispossess the inhabitants of the plain, since they had iron chariots.	19 O Senhor estava com Judá, e ele conquistou a montanha; porém, não pôde despojar os habitantes da planície que possuíam carros de ferro.
20 As Moses had directed, Hebron was given to Caleb, and he drove the three sons of Anak out of it.	20 Conforme o que Moisés tinha dito, deram Hebron a Caleb, que expulsou dela os três filhos de Enac.
21 As regards the Jebusites living in Jerusalem, the sons of Benjamin did not dispossess them, and theJebusites have been living in Jerusalem with the sons of Benjamin ever since.	21 Os benjaminitas não exterminaram os jebuseus de Jerusalém; por isso, os jebuseus habitaram em Jerusalém com os benjaminitas até o presente.
22 Similarly, the House of Joseph marched on Bethel, and Yahweh was with them.	22 A família de José marchou também contra Betel, e o Senhor esteve com eles.
23 The House of Joseph made a reconnaissance of Bethel. (In olden days, the name of the town wasLuz.)	23 E quando exploravam Betel, que antes se chamava Luz,
24 The scouts saw a man coming out of the town and said to him, 'Show us how to get into the town andwe shal show you faithful love.'	24 viram um homem que saía da cidade, e disseram-lhe: Mostra-nos por onde se pode entrar na cidade e usaremos de misericórdia contigo.
25 And when he had shown them a way into the town, they put the town to the sword but let the man andhis whole clan go.	25 Ele indicou-lhes a entrada, e passaram a localidade ao fio da espada, poupando, porém, aquele homem com a sua família.
26 The man went off to the country of the Hittites and built a town which he called Luz; and that has been its name ever since.	26 Este emigrou para a terra dos hiteus, onde construiu uma cidade, à qual pôs o nome de Luz, nome que ela conserva ainda hoje.
27 Manasseh did not dispossess Beth-Shean and its dependencies, nor Taanach and its dependencies,nor the inhabitants of Dor and its dependencies, nor the inhabitants of Ibleam and its dependencies, nor theinhabitants of Megiddo and its dependencies; in those parts the Canaanites held their ground.	27 Manassés não expulsou os habitantes de Betsã com suas aldeias, nem os de Tanac, de Dor, de Jeblaão, de Magedo, com suas aldeias, porque os cananeus estavam decididos a ocupar essa terra.
28 But when the Israelites became stronger, they subjected the Canaanites to forced labour, althoughthey did not dispossess them.	28 Quando se tornaram mais fortes, os israelitas fizeram-nos tributários, mas não os despojaram.
29 Nor did Ephraim dispossess the Canaanites living in Gezer; thus, the Canaanites went on living inGezer with him.	29 Efraim não expulsou os cananeus de Geser, os quais continuaram a habitar em Geser, no meio de Efraim.
30 Zebulun did not dispossess the inhabitants of Kitron or of Nahalol. The Canaanites lived on withZebulun but were subjected to forced labour.	30 Zabulon não expulsou os habitantes de Cetron, nem os de Naalol; e os cananeus continuaram a habitar no meio de Zabulon, embora sujeitos ao tributo.
31 Asher did not dispossess the inhabitants of Acco, nor those of Sidon, of Mahalab, of Achzib, of Helbah,of Aphek or of Rehob.	31 Aser não expulsou os habitantes de Aco, nem os de Sidon, nem os de Aalab, de Acasib, de Helba, de Afec e de Roob;
32 So the Asherites lived among the Canaanite inhabitants of the country, not having dispossessed them.	32 os filhos de Aser estabeleceram-se entre os cananeus, habitantes daquela terra; não os despojaram.
33 Naphtali did not dispossess the inhabitants of Beth-Shemesh or of Beth-Anath; they settled among theCanaanite inhabitants of the country, but the inhabitants of Beth-Shemesh and of Beth-Anath were subjected toforced labour for them.	33 Neftali não expulsou os habitantes de Bet-Sames, nem os de Bet-Anat, e estabeleceu-se entre os cananeus, habitantes daquela terra; os betsamitas e os betanitas ficaram-lhe tributários.
34 The Amorites drove the Danites back into the highlands and would not let them come down into theplain.	34 Os amorreus repeliram os danitas para a montanha, e não os deixaram descer para a planície.
35 The Amorites held their ground at Har -- Heres and Shaalbim, but when the hand of the House ofJoseph grew heavier, they were subjected to forced labour. (	35 Persistiram em ficar em Har-Harés, em Ajalon e em Salebim; mas a mão da casa de José prevaleceu sobre eles, e tiveram de pagar o tributo.
36 The territory of the Edomites begins at the Ascent of Scorpions, runs to the Rock and continues onupwards.)	36 O território dos amorreus estendia-se desde a costa de Acrabim e de Sela, para o norte.
