| 2 O Senhor respondeu: “Judá, pois eu entregarei a terra nas suas mãos”. | 2 The LORD said, "Judah shall go up; behold, I have given the land into his hand." |
| 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. | 3 And Judah said to Simeon his brother, "Come up with me into the territory allotted to me, that we may fight against the Canaanites; and I likewise will go with you into the territory allotted to you." So Simeon went with him. |
| 4 Judá travou combate e o Senhor entregou-lhe os cananeus e os ferezeus; derrotaram dez mil homens em Bezec. | 4 Then Judah went up and the LORD gave the Canaanites and the Perizzites into their hand; and they defeated ten thousand of them at Bezek. |
| 5 Ali encontraram Adonibezec, atacaram-no e derrotaram os cananeus e os ferezeus. | 5 They came upon Adoni-bezek at Bezek, and fought against him, and defeated the Canaanites and the Perizzites. |
| 6 Adonibezec fugiu, mas eles o perseguiram, prenderam-no e cortaram-lhe os polegares das mãos e dos pés. | 6 Adoni-bezek fled; but they pursued him, and caught him, and cut off his thumbs and his great toes. |
| 7 Adonibezec disse: “Setenta reis, com os polegares das mãos e dos pés cortados, apanhavam debaixo de minha mesa as migalhas da comida. Como eu fiz, assim Deus me faz”. E conduziram-no a Jerusalém, onde morreu. | 7 And Adoni-bezek said, "Seventy kings with their thumbs and their great toes cut off used to pick up scraps under my table; as I have done, so God has requited me." And they brought him to Jerusalem, and he died there. |

| 12 Caleb tinha dito: “Àquele que combater e tomar Cariat-Sefer darei por mulher minha filha Acsa”. | 12 And Caleb said, "He who attacks Kiriath-sepher and takes it, I will give him Achsah my daughter as wife." |
| 13 Otoniel, filho de Cenez, irmão mais novo de Caleb, tomou a cidade; e Caleb deu-lhe sua filha Acsa por mulher. | 13 And Othni-el the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother, took it; and he gave him Achsah his daughter as wife. |
| 14 Chegando Acsa 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?”. | 14 When she came to him, she urged him to ask her father for a field; and she alighted from her ass, and Caleb said to her, "What do you wish?" |
| 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. | 15 She said to him, "Give me a present; since you have set me in the land of the Negeb, give me also springs of water." And Caleb gave her the upper springs and the lower springs. |
