Juízes 9
CPDV: Catholic Public Domain Version (SM_CPDV) vs ARC
1 Now Abimelech, the son of Jerubbaal, went to Shechem, to his maternal brothers, and he spoke to them, and to all the relatives of the house of his maternal grandfather, saying:
1 E Abimeleque, filho de Jerubaal, foi-se a Siquém, aos irmãos de sua mãe, e falou-lhes e a toda a geração da casa do pai de sua mãe, dizendo:
2 “Speak to all the men of Shechem: Which is better for you: that seventy men, all the sons of Jerubbaal, should rule over you, or that one man should rule over you? And consider also that I am your bone and your flesh.”
2 Falai, peço-vos, aos ouvidos de todos os cidadãos de Siquém: Qual é melhor para vós: que setenta homens, todos os filhos de Jerubaal, dominem sobre vós ou que um homem sobre vós domine? Lembrai-vos também de que sou osso vosso e carne vossa.
3 And his maternal brothers spoke about him to all the men of Shechem, all these words, and they inclined their hearts after Abimelech, saying, “He is our brother.”
3 Então, os irmãos de sua mãe falaram acerca dele perante os ouvidos de todos os cidadãos de Siquém todas aquelas palavras; e o coração deles se inclinou para Abimeleque, porque disseram: É nosso irmão.
4 And they gave to him the weight of seventy silver coins from the shrine of Baal-berith. With this, he hired for himself indigent and wandering men, and they followed him.
4 E deram-lhe setenta peças de prata, da casa de Baal-Berite; e com elas alugou Abimeleque uns homens ociosos e levianos, que o seguiram.
5 And he went to his father’s house in Ophrah, and he killed his brothers, the sons of Jerubbaal, seventy men, upon one stone. And there remained only Joatham, the youngest son of Jerubbaal, and he was in hiding.
5 E veio à casa de seu pai, a Ofra, e matou os seus irmãos, os filhos de Jerubaal, setenta homens, sobre uma pedra. Porém Jotão, filho menor de Jerubaal, ficou, porque se tinha escondido.
6 Then all the men of Shechem gathered together, and all the families of the city of Millo, and they went and appointed Abimelech as king, beside the oak that stood at Shechem.
6 Então, se ajuntaram todos os cidadãos de Siquém e toda Bete-Milo; e foram e levantaram a Abimeleque como rei, junto ao carvalho alto que está perto de Siquém.
7 When this had been reported to Jotham, he went and stood at the top of Mount Gerizim. And lifting up his voice, he cried out and said: “Listen to me, men of Shechem, so that God may listen to you.
7 E, dizendo-o a Jotão, foi este, e pôs-se no cume do monte de Gerizim, e levantou a sua voz, e clamou, e disse-lhes: Ouvi-me a mim, cidadãos de Siquém, e Deus vos ouvirá a vós.
8 The trees went to anoint a king over themselves. And they said to the olive tree, ‘Reign over us.’
8 Foram uma vez as árvores a ungir para si um rei e disseram à oliveira: Reina tu sobre nós.
9 And it responded, ‘How could I abandon my fatness, which both gods and men make use of, and depart to be promoted among the trees?’
9 Porém a oliveira lhes disse: Deixaria eu a minha gordura, que Deus e os homens em mim prezam, e iria a labutar sobre as árvores?
10 And the trees said to the fig tree, ‘Come and accept royal power over us.’
10 Então, disseram as árvores à figueira: Vem tu e reina sobre nós.
11 And it responded to them, ‘How could I abandon my sweetness, and my very sweet fruits, and depart to be promoted among the other trees?’
11 Porém a figueira lhes disse: Deixaria eu a minha doçura, o meu bom fruto e iria labutar sobre as árvores?
12 And the trees said to the vine, ‘Come and reign over us.’
12 Então, disseram as árvores à videira: Vem tu e reina sobre nós.
13 And it responded to them, ‘How could I abandon my wine, which gives joy to God and men, and be promoted among the other trees?’
13 Porém a videira lhes disse: Deixaria eu o meu mosto, que alegra a Deus e aos homens, e iria labutar sobre as árvores?
14 And all the trees said to the bramble, ‘Come and reign over us.’
14 Então, todas as árvores disseram ao espinheiro: Vem tu e reina sobre nós.
15 And it responded to them: ‘If truly you would appoint me as king, come and rest under my shadow. But if you are not willing, let fire go forth from the bramble, and let it devour the cedars of Lebanon.’ ”
15 E disse o espinheiro às árvores: Se, na verdade, me ungis rei sobre vós, vinde e confiai-vos debaixo da minha sombra; mas, se não, saia fogo do espinheiro que consuma os cedros do Líbano.
16 So now, if you are upright and without sin in appointing Abimelech as a king over you, and if you have acted well with Jerubbaal, and with his house, and if you have repaid, in turn, the benefits of him who fought on your behalf,
16 Agora, pois, se é que em verdade e sinceridade procedestes, fazendo rei a Abimeleque, e se bem fizestes para com Jerubaal e para com a sua casa e se com ele usastes conforme o merecimento das suas mãos
17 and who gave his life to dangers, so that he might rescue you from the hand of Midian,
17 (porque meu pai pelejou por vós, e desprezou a sua vida, e vos livrou da mão dos midianitas;
18 though you now have risen up against my father’s house, and have killed his sons, seventy men, upon one stone, and have appointed Abimelech, the son of his handmaid, as a king over the inhabitants of Shechem, since he is your brother,
18 porém vós hoje vos levantastes contra a casa de meu pai, e matastes a seus filhos, setenta homens, sobre uma pedra, e a Abimeleque, filho da sua serva, fizestes reinar sobre os cidadãos de Siquém, porque é vosso irmão);
19 if therefore you are upright and have acted without fault with Jerubbaal and his house, then you should rejoice on this day in Abimelech, and he should rejoice in you.
19 se em verdade e sinceridade usastes com Jerubaal e com a sua casa hoje, alegrai-vos com Abimeleque, e também ele se alegre convosco.
20 But if you have acted perversely, may fire go forth from him and consume the inhabitants of Shechem and the town of Millo. And may fire go forth from the men of Shechem and from the town of Millo, and devour Abimelech.”
20 Mas, se não, saia fogo de Abimeleque e consuma os cidadãos de Siquém e Bete-Milo; e saia fogo dos cidadãos de Siquém e de Bete-Milo, que consuma a Abimeleque.
21 And when he had said these things, he fled and went away to Beer. And he lived in that place, out of fear of Abimelech, his brother.
21 Então, partiu Jotão, e fugiu, e foi-se a Beer; e ali habitou por medo de Abimeleque, seu irmão.
22 And so Abimelech reigned over Israel for three years.
22 Havendo, pois, Abimeleque dominado três anos sobre Israel,
23 And the Lord put a very grievous spirit between Abimelech and the inhabitants of Shechem, who began to detest him,
23 enviou Deus um mau espírito entre Abimeleque e os cidadãos de Siquém; e os cidadãos de Siquém se houveram aleivosamente contra Abimeleque;
24 and to place blame for the crime of the killing of the seventy sons of Jerubbaal, and for the shedding of their blood, upon Abimelech, their brother, and upon the rest of the leaders of the Shechemites, who assisted him.
24 para que a violência feita aos setenta filhos de Jerubaal viesse, e o seu sangue caísse sobre Abimeleque, seu irmão, que os matara, e sobre os cidadãos de Siquém, que lhe corroboraram as mãos, para matar os seus irmãos.
25 And they stationed an ambush against him at the summit of the mountains. And while they were waiting for his arrival, they committed robberies, taking spoils from those passing by. And this was reported to Abimelech.
25 E os cidadãos de Siquém puseram contra ele quem lhe armasse emboscadas sobre os cumes dos montes; e a todo aquele que passava pelo caminho junto a eles o assaltavam; e contou-se a Abimeleque.
26 Now Gaal, the son of Ebed, went with his brothers, and crossed over to Shechem. And the inhabitants of Shechem, uplifted by his arrival,
26 Veio também Gaal, filho de Ebede, com seus irmãos, e passaram para dentro de Siquém; e os cidadãos de Siquém se fiaram nele.
27 departed into the fields, laying waste to the vineyards, and trampling the grapes. And while singing and dancing, they entered into the shrine of their god. And while feasting and drinking, they cursed Abimelech.
27 E saíram ao campo, e vindimaram as suas vinhas, e pisaram as uvas, e fizeram canções de louvor; e foram à casa de seu Deus, e comeram, e beberam, e amaldiçoaram a Abimeleque.
28 And Gaal, the son of Ebed, cried out: “Who is Abimelech, and what is Shechem, that we should serve him? Is he not the son of Jerubbaal, who has appointed Zebul, his servant, as ruler over the men of Hamor, the father of Shechem? Why then should we serve him?
28 E disse Gaal, filho de Ebede: Quem é Abimeleque, e quem é Siquém, para que o servíssemos? Não é, porventura, filho de Jerubaal? E não é Zebul o seu mordomo? servi, antes, aos homens de Hamor, pai de Siquém; pois por que razão nós o serviríamos a ele?
29 I wish that someone would set this people under my hand, so that I might take away Abimelech from their midst.” And it was told to Abimelech, “Gather the multitude of an army, and approach.”
29 Ah! Se este povo estivera na minha mão, eu expeliria a Abimeleque. E a Abimeleque se disse: Multiplica o teu exército e sai.
30 For Zebul, the ruler of the city, upon hearing the words of Gaal, the son of Ebed, became very angry.
30 E, ouvindo Zebul, o maioral da cidade, as palavras de Gaal, filho de Ebede, se acendeu a sua ira.
31 And he sent messengers secretly to Abimelech, saying: “Behold, Gaal, the son of Ebed, has arrived at Shechem with his brothers, and he has set the city against you.
31 E enviou astutamente mensageiros a Abimeleque, dizendo: Eis que Gaal, filho de Ebede, e seus irmãos vieram a Siquém, e eis que eles fortificam esta cidade contra ti.
32 And so, rise up in the night, with the people who are with you, and lie hidden in the field.
32 Levanta-te, pois, de noite, tu e o povo que tiveres contigo, e põe emboscadas no campo.
33 And at first light in the morning, as the sun is rising, rush upon the city. And when he goes out against you, with his people, do to him what you are able to do.”
33 E levanta-te pela manhã, ao sair o sol, e dá de golpe sobre a cidade; e eis que, saindo ele e o povo que tiver com ele contra ti, faze-lhe como alcançar a tua mão.
34 And so Abimelech rose up, with all his army, by night, and he set ambushes near Shechem in four places.
34 Levantou-se, pois, Abimeleque e todo o povo que com ele havia, de noite, e puseram emboscadas contra Siquém, em quatro bandos.
35 And Gaal, the son of Ebed, went out, and he stood at the entrance to the gate of the city. Then Abimelech rose up, and all the army with him, from the places of the ambushes.
35 E Gaal, filho de Ebede, saiu e pôs-se à entrada da porta da cidade; e Abimeleque e todo o povo que com ele havia se levantaram das emboscadas.
36 And when Gaal had seen the people, he said to Zebul, “Behold, a multitude is descending from the mountains.” And he responded to him, “You are seeing the shadows of the mountains, as if they were the heads of men, and so you are being deceived by this error.”
36 E, vendo Gaal aquele povo, disse a Zebul: Eis que desce gente dos cumes dos montes. Zebul, ao contrário, lhe disse: As sombras dos montes vês por homens.
37 Again, Gaal said, “Behold, a people is descending from the middle of the land, and one company is arriving by the way that looks towards the oak.”
37 Porém Gaal ainda tornou a falar e disse: Eis ali desce gente do meio da terra, e uma tropa vem do caminho do carvalho de Meonenim.
38 And Zebul said to him: “Where is your mouth now, with which you said, ‘Who is Abimelech that we should serve him?’ Is this not the people that you were despising? Go out and fight against him.”
38 Então, lhe disse Zebul: Onde está agora a tua boca, com a qual dizias: Quem é Abimeleque, para que o servíssemos? Não é este, porventura, o povo que desprezaste? Sai, pois, peço-te, e peleja contra ele.
39 Therefore, Gaal went out, with the people of Shechem watching, and he fought against Abimelech,
39 E saiu Gaal à vista dos cidadãos de Siquém e pelejou contra Abimeleque.
40 who pursued him, fleeing, and drove him into the city. And many were cut down on his side, even to the gate of the city.
40 E Abimeleque o perseguiu, porquanto fugiu de diante dele; e muitos feridos caíram até à entrada da porta da cidade.
41 And Abimelech made camp at Arumah. But Zebul expelled Gaal and his companions from the city, and he would not permit them to remain in it.
41 E Abimeleque ficou em Arumá. E Zebul expeliu a Gaal e a seus irmãos, para que não pudessem habitar em Siquém.
42 Therefore, on the following day, the people departed into the field. And when this had been reported to Abimelech,
42 E sucedeu, no dia seguinte, que o povo saiu ao campo, e o disseram a Abimeleque.
43 he took his army, and divided it into three companies, and he placed ambushes in the fields. And seeing that the people had departed from the city, he rose up and rushed upon them,
43 Então, tomou o povo, e o repartiu em três bandos, e pôs emboscadas no campo; e olhou, e eis que o povo saía da cidade, e levantou-se contra eles e os feriu.
44 along with his own company, assaulting and besieging the city. But the two other companies pursued the enemies scattered in the field.
44 Porque Abimeleque e as tropas que com ele havia deram neles de improviso e pararam à entrada da porta da cidade; e as outras tropas deram de improviso sobre todos quantos estavam no campo e os feriram.
45 Now Abimelech assaulted the city all that day. And he seized it, and he killed its inhabitants, and he destroyed it, so much so that he scattered salt in it.
45 E Abimeleque pelejou contra a cidade todo aquele dia e tomou a cidade; e matou o povo que nela havia, e assolou a cidade, e a semeou de sal.
46 And when those living in the tower of Shechem had heard about this, they entered the temple of their god, Berith, where they had formed a covenant with him. And it was because of this, that the place had taken its name. And it was greatly fortified.
46 O que, ouvindo todos os cidadãos da torre de Siquém, entraram na fortaleza, em casa do deus Berite.
47 Abimelech, also hearing that the men of the tower of Shechem had joined together,
47 E contou-se a Abimeleque que todos os cidadãos da torre de Siquém se haviam congregado.
48 ascended to mount Zalmon, with all his people. And taking an axe, he cut down the branch of a tree. And laying it on his shoulder, and carrying it, he said to his companions, “What you see me do, you must do quickly.”
48 Subiu, pois, Abimeleque ao monte de Salmom, ele e todo o povo que com ele havia; e Abimeleque tomou na sua mão machados, e cortou um ramo das árvores, e o levantou, e pô-lo ao seu ombro, e disse ao povo que com ele havia: O que me vistes fazer, apressai-vos a fazê-lo assim como eu.
49 And so, eagerly cutting down branches from the trees, they followed their leader. And surrounding the fortified place, they set it on fire. And so it happened that, by smoke and fire, one thousand persons died, men and women together, the occupants of the tower of Shechem.
49 Assim, pois, também todo o povo, cada um cortou o seu ramo, e seguiram a Abimeleque, e os puseram junto da fortaleza, e queimaram a fogo a fortaleza com eles; de maneira que todos os da torre de Siquém morreram, uns mil homens e mulheres.
50 Then Abimelech, setting out from there, arrived at the town of Thebez, which he surrounded and besieged with his army.
50 Então, Abimeleque foi-se a Tebes, e a sitiou, e a tomou.
51 Now there was, in the midst of the city, a high tower, to which men and women were fleeing together, with all the leaders of the city. And, having very strongly sealed the gate, they were standing on the roof of the tower to defend themselves.
51 Havia, porém, no meio da cidade uma torre forte; e todos os homens e mulheres e todos os cidadãos da cidade se acolheram a ela, e fecharam após si as portas, e subiram ao telhado da torre.
52 And Abimelech, drawing near the tower, fought valiantly. And approaching the gate, he strove to set it on fire.
52 E Abimeleque veio até à torre, e a combateu, e chegou-se até à porta da torre, para a queimar.
53 And behold, one woman, throwing a fragment of a millstone from above, struck the head of Abimelech, and broke his skull.
53 Porém uma mulher lançou um pedaço de uma mó sobre a cabeça de Abimeleque e quebrou-lhe o crânio.
54 And he quickly called to his armor bearer, and said to him, “Draw your sword and strike me, otherwise it may be said that I was slain by a woman.” And, doing as he was ordered, he killed him.
54 Então, chamou logo ao moço que levava as suas armas e disse-lhe: Desembainha a tua espada e mata-me; para que se não diga de mim: Uma mulher o matou. E seu moço o atravessou, e ele morreu.
55 And when he was dead, all those of Israel who were with him returned to their homes.
55 Vendo, pois, os homens de Israel que já Abimeleque era morto, foram-se, cada um para o seu lugar.
56 And so did God repay the evil that Abimelech had done against his father by killing his seventy brothers.
56 Assim, Deus fez tornar sobre Abimeleque o mal que tinha feito a seu pai, matando os seus setenta irmãos.
57 The Shechemites also were given retribution for what they had done, and the curse of Jotham, the son of Jerubbaal, fell upon them.
57 Como também todo o mal dos homens de Siquém fez tornar sobre a cabeça deles; e a maldição de Jotão, filho de Jerubaal, veio sobre eles.
