Livro dos Juízes 10

SAGRADA BIBLIA	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Depois de Abimelec, Tola, filho de Fua, filho de Dodo, de Issacar, levantou-se para livrar Israel. Habitava em Samir, na montanha de Efraim,	1 After Abimelech there arose a ruler in Israel, Thola son of Phua the uncle of Abimelech, a man of Issachar, who dwelt in Samir of mount Ephraim:
2 e foi juiz em Israel durante vinte e três anos. Depois disso morreu e foi sepultado em Samir.	2 And he judged Israel three and twenty years, and he died and was buried in Samir.
3 A este sucedeu Jair, de Galaad, que foi juiz em Israel durante vinte e dois anos.	3 To him succeeded Jair the Galaadite, who judged Israel for two and twenty years.
4 Tinha trinta filhos que montavam em trinta jumentinhos, e possuíam trinta cidades que se chamam ainda hoje Havot-Jair, situadas em Galaad.	4 Having thirty sons that rode on thirty ass colts, and were princes of thirty cities, which from his name were called Havoth Jair, that is, the towns of Jair, until this present day in the land of Galaad.
5 Jair morreu e foi sepultado em Camon.	5 And Jair died: and was buried in the place which was called Camon.
6 Os filhos de Israel fizeram de novo o mal aos olhos do Senhor, servindo os baal e os astarot, os deuses da Síria, de Sidon, de Moab, os deuses dos amonitas e dos filisteus; e abandonaram o culto do Senhor.	6 But the children of Israel, adding new sins to their old ones, did evil in the sight of the Lord, and served idols, Baalim and Astaroth, and the gods of Syria and of Sidon and of Moab and of the children of Ammon and of the Philistines: and they left the Lord, and did not serve him.
7 A cólera do Senhor inflamou-se contra Israel, e ele entregou-os nas mãos dos filisteus e dos amonitas.	7 And the Lord being angry with them, delivered them into the hands of the Philistines and of the children of Ammon.
8 Estes últimos oprimiram e esmagaram os israelitas naquele ano; e a opressão estendeu-se por dezoito anos sobre os israelitas de além do Jordão, na terra dos amorreus, em Galaad.	8 And they were afflicted, and grievously oppressed for eighteen years, all they that dwelt beyond the Jordan in the land of the Amorrhite, who is in Galaad:
9 Os amonitas, tendo passado o Jordão, combateram contra Judá, Benjamim e a tribo de Efraim, e Israel viu-se numa extrema aflição.	9 Insomuch that the children of Ammon passing over the Jordan, wasted Juda and Benjamin and Ephraim: and Israel was distressed exceedingly.
10 Os israelitas clamaram ao Senhor, dizendo: Pecamos contra vós, abandonando o nosso Deus e servindo aos Baal.	10 And they cried to the Lord, and said: We have sinned against thee, because we have forsaken the Lord our God, and have served Baalim.
11 O Senhor respondeu-lhes: Porventura não vos tenho eu livrado dos egípcios, dos amorreus, dos amonitas, dos filisteus?	11 And the Lord said to them: Did not the Egyptians and the Amorrhites, and the children of Ammon and the Philistines,
12 E quando os sidônios, os amalecitas e Maon vos oprimiam e vós clamastes a mim, não vos libertei?	12 The Sidonians also and Amalec and Chanaan oppress you, and you cried to me, and I delivered you out of their hand?
13 Vós, porém, me abandonastes de novo para servir a outros deuses; por isso não mais vos livrarei.	13 And yet you have forsaken me, and have worshipped strange gods: therefore I will deliver you no more:
14 Ide e invocai os deuses que escolhestes; eles que vos livrem de vossa angústia!	14 Go and call upon the gods which you have chosen: let them deliver you in the time of distress.
15 Os israelitas disseram ao Senhor: Pecamos; tratai-nos como melhor vos parecer. Somente, livrai-nos hoje.	15 And the children of Israel said to the Lord: We have sinned, do thou unto us whatsoever pleaseth thee: only deliver us this time.
16 Tiraram então do meio deles os deuses estranhos e serviram ao Senhor, que se compadeceu dos males de Israel.	16 And saying these things, they cast away out of their coasts all the idols of strange gods and served the Lord their God: and he was touched with their miseries.
17 Os amonitas juntaram-se e acamparam em Galaad, enquanto os israelitas faziam o mesmo em Masfa.	17 And the children of Ammon shouting together, pitched their tents in Galaad: against whom the children of Israel assembled themselves together and camped in Maspha.
18 O povo e os chefes de Galaad diziam uns para os outros: Quem começará a pelejar contra os amonitas? Esse será o chefe de todo o povo de Galaad.	18 And the princes of Galaad said one to another: Whosoever of us shall first begin to fight against the children of Ammon, he shall be the leader of the people of Galaad.
