SAGRADA BIBLIA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
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, a leader rose up in Israel, Tola, the son of Puah, the paternal uncle of Abimelech, a man of Issachar, who lived in Shamir on 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 for twenty-three years, and he died and was buried at Shamir.
3 A este sucedeu Jair, de Galaad, que foi juiz em Israel durante vinte e dois anos.	3 After him succeeded Jair, a Gileadite, who judged Israel for twenty-two 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 sitting upon thirty young donkeys, and who were leaders of thirty cities, which from his name were called Havvoth Jair, that is, the towns of Jair, even to the present day, in the land of Gilead.
5 Jair morreu e foi sepultado em Camon.	5 And Jair died, and he was buried in the place which is called Kamon.
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 sons of Israel did evil in the sight of the Lord, joining new sins to old, and they served idols, the Baals and Ashtaroth, and the gods of Syria and Sidon, and of Moab and the sons of Ammon, and the Philistines. And they abandoned the Lord, and they did not worship 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, becoming angry against them, delivered them into the hands of the Philistines and the sons 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 vehemently oppressed for eighteen years, all who were living beyond the Jordan in the land of the Amorite, which is in Gilead,
9 Os amonitas, tendo passado o Jordão, combateram contra Judá, Benjamim e a tribo de Efraim, e Israel viu-se numa extrema aflição.	9 to such a great extent that the sons of Ammon, crossing over the Jordan, laid waste to Judah and Benjamin and Ephraim. And Israel was exceedingly afflicted.
10 Os israelitas clamaram ao Senhor, dizendo: Pecamos contra vós, abandonando o nosso Deus e servindo aos Baal.	10 And crying out to the Lord, they said: “We have sinned against you. For we have forsaken the Lord our God, and we have served the Baals.”
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 Amorites, and the sons 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 and also the Sidonians, and Amalek, and Canaan, oppress you, and so you cried out to me, and I rescued you from 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 you have worshipped foreign gods. For this reason, I will not continue to free you any more.
14 Ide e invocai os deuses que escolhestes; eles que vos livrem de vossa angústia!	14 Go, and call upon the gods whom you have chosen. Let them free you in the time of anguish.”
15 Os israelitas disseram ao Senhor: Pecamos; tratai-nos como melhor vos parecer. Somente, livrai-nos hoje.	15 And the sons of Israel said to the Lord: “We have sinned. You may repay us in whatever way pleases you. Yet free us now.”
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 out all the idols of the foreign gods from their regions, and they served the Lord God. And he was touched by their miseries.
17 Os amonitas juntaram-se e acamparam em Galaad, enquanto os israelitas faziam o mesmo em Masfa.	17 And then the sons of Ammon, shouting out together, pitched their tents in Gilead. And the sons of Israel gathered together against them, and they made camp at Mizpah.
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 leaders of Gilead said to one another, “Whoever among us will be the first to begin to contend against the sons of Ammon, he shall be the leader of the people of Gilead.”
