Livro dos Juízes 4

SAGRADA BIBLIA	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 Depois da morte de Aod, os israelitas continuaram a fazer o mal aos olhos do Senhor.	1 And the children of Israel again did evil in the sight of the LORD, when Ehud was dead.
2 Então o Senhor entregou-os nas mãos de Jabin, rei de Canaã, que reinava em Asor. Seu exército era chefiado por Sísara, que habitava em Haroset-Goim.	2 And the LORD sold them into the hand of Jabin king of Canaan, that reigned in Hazor; the captain of whose host was Sisera, which dwelt in Harosheth of the Gentiles.
3 Os filhos de Israel clamaram ao Senhor, porque Jabin tinha novecentos carros de ferro e oprimia-os duramente já fazia vinte anos.	3 And the children of Israel cried unto the LORD: for he had nine hundred chariots of iron; and twenty years he mightily oppressed the children of Israel.
4 Naquela época, a profetisa Débora mulher de Lapidot, era juíza em Israel.	4 And Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lapidoth, she judged Israel at that time.
5 Sentava-se sob a palmeira de Débora, entre Ramá e Betel, na montanha de Efraim, e os israelitas iam ter com ela para que julgasse suas questões.	5 And she dwelt under the palm tree of Deborah between Ramah and Bethel in mount Ephraim: and the children of Israel came up to her for judgment.
6 Ela mandou chamar Barac, filho de Abinoem, de Cedes em Neftali, e disse-lhe: Eis o que te ordena o Senhor, Deus de Israel: vai ao monte Tabor; toma contigo dez mil homens dos filhos de Neftali e de Zabulon.	6 And she sent and called Barak the son of Abinoam out of Kedesh-naphtali, and said unto him, Hath not the LORD God of Israel commanded, saying, Go and draw toward mount Tabor, and take with thee ten thousand men of the children of Naphtali and of the children of Zebulun?
7 Quando estiveres na torrente de Cison, conduzir-te-ei Sísara, chefe do exército de Jabin, com seus carros e suas tropas, e to entregarei.	7 And I will draw unto thee to the river Kishon Sisera, the captain of Jabin's army, with his chariots and his multitude; and I will deliver him into thine hand.
8 Barac respondeu-lhe: Se vieres comigo, irei; mas se não quiseres vir comigo, não irei.	8 And Barak said unto her, If thou wilt go with me, then I will go: but if thou wilt not go with me, then I will not go.
9 Sim, disse ela, irei contigo; mas a glória da expedição não será tua, porque o Senhor entregará Sísara nas mãos de uma mulher. E Débora foi com Barac a Cedes.	9 And she said, I will surely go with thee: notwithstanding the journey that thou takest shall not be for thine honour; for the LORD shall sell Sisera into the hand of a woman. And Deborah arose, and went with Barak to Kedesh.
10 Barac convocou ali Zabulon e Neftali: dez mil homens levantaram-se e seguiram-no, tendo Débora em sua companhia.	10 And Barak called Zebulun and Naphtali to Kedesh; and he went up with ten thousand men at his feet: and Deborah went up with him.
11 Ora, Heber, o cineu, tinha-se separado dos cineus da família de Hobab, cunhado de Moisés, e tinha levantado suas tendas até o carvalhal de Senim, perto de Cedes.	11 Now Heber the Kenite, which was of the children of Hobab the father in law of Moses, had severed himself from the Kenites, and pitched his tent unto the plain of Zaanaim, which is by Kedesh.
12 Foi anunciado a Sísara que Barac, filho de Abinoem, estava em marcha para o monte Tabor.	12 And they shewed Sisera that Barak the son of Abinoam was gone up to mount Tabor.
13 Mandou então vir de Haroset-Goim todos os seus carros, novecentos carros de ferro, e todo o povo que estava com ele até a torrente de Cison.	13 And Sisera gathered together all his chariots, even nine hundred chariots of iron, and all the people that were with him, from Harosheth of the Gentiles unto the river of Kishon.
14 Débora disse a Barac: Vai-te, porque este é o dia em que o Senhor te entregará Sísara. O Senhor mesmo marcha adiante de ti. Barac desceu do monte Tabor com dez mil homens.	14 And Deborah said unto Barak, Up; for this is the day in which the LORD hath delivered Sisera into thine hand: is not the LORD gone out before thee? So Barak went down from mount Tabor, and ten thousand men after him.
15 E o Senhor desbaratou Sísara com todos os seus carros e todo o seu exército, que caíram ao fio da espada, diante de Barac. Sísara, saltando do seu carro, fugiu a pé,	15 And the LORD discomfited Sisera, and all his chariots, and all his host, with the edge of the sword before Barak; so that Sisera lighted down off his chariot, and fled away on his feet.
16 enquanto Barac perseguia os carros e o exército até Haroset-Goim. Todo o exército de Sísara foi passado ao fio da espada, sem escapar um só homem.	16 But Barak pursued after the chariots, and after the host, unto Harosheth of the Gentiles: and all the host of Sisera fell upon the edge of the sword; and there was not a man left.
17 Sísara, fugindo a pé, chegou à tenda de Jael, mulher de Heber, o cineu, porque havia paz entre Jabin, rei de Asor e a casa de Heber, o cineu.	17 Howbeit Sisera fled away on his feet to the tent of Jael the wife of Heber the Kenite: for there was peace between Jabin the king of Hazor and the house of Heber the Kenite.
18 Jael, saindo ao encontro de Sísara, disse-lhe: Entra, meu senhor, em minha casa, e não temas. Ele entrou na tenda e ela o ocultou sob um manto.	18 And Jael went out to meet Sisera, and said unto him, Turn in, my lord, turn in to me; fear not. And when he had turned in unto her into the tent, she covered him with a mantle.
19 Ele disse à mulher: Peço-te que me dês um pouco de água, porque tenho sede. Ela abriu um odre de leite, deu-lhe de beber e recobriu-o.	19 And he said unto her, Give me, I pray thee, a little water to drink; for I am thirsty. And she opened a bottle of milk, and gave him drink, and covered him.
20 Sísara disse-lhe ainda: Põe-te à entrada da tenda, e se qualquer pessoa te perguntar se há alguém aqui, responderás que não.	20 Again he said unto her, Stand in the door of the tent, and it shall be, when any man doth come and inquire of thee, and say, Is there any man here? that thou shalt say, No.
21 Jael, pois, mulher de Heber, tomou um prego da tenda juntamente com um martelo e, aproximando-se devagarinho, enterrou o prego na fonte de Sísara, pregando-o assim na terra enquanto ele dormia profundamente por causa da muita fadiga. Sísara morreu.	21 Then Jael Heber's wife took a nail of the tent, and took an hammer in her hand, and went softly unto him, and smote the nail into his temples, and fastened it into the ground: for he was fast asleep and weary. So he died.
22 Entrementes, chegou Barac logo após Sísara. Jael saindo-lhe ao encontro, disse-lhe: Vem, vou mostrar-te o homem que buscas. Ele entrou e viu Sísara que jazia morto por terra, com o prego cravado em sua fonte.	22 And, behold, as Barak pursued Sisera, Jael came out to meet him, and said unto him, Come, and I will shew thee the man whom thou seekest. And when he came into her tent, behold, Sisera lay dead, and the nail was in his temples.
23 Foi assim que Deus, naquele dia, humilhou Jabin, rei de Canaã, diante dos israelitas;	23 So God subdued on that day Jabin the king of Canaan before the children of Israel.
24 e a mão dos filhos de Israel pesava cada vez mais sobre Jabin, rei de Canaã, até que o exterminaram.	24 And the hand of the children of Israel prospered, and prevailed against Jabin the king of Canaan, until they had destroyed Jabin king of Canaan.
