1In the year one hundred and seventy-two, king Demetrius assembled has army, and went into Media to get him succours to fight against Tryphon.
1No ano cento e setenta e dois, o rei Demétrio reuniu suas tropas e foi à Média buscar ajuda para lutar contra Trifão.
2And Arsaces the king of Persia and Media heard that Demetrius was entered within his borders, and he sent one of his princes to take him alive, and bring him to him.
2Quando Arsaces, rei da Pérsia e da Média, soube que Demétrio havia entrado em suas fronteiras, enviou um de seus príncipes para capturá-lo vivo.
3And he went and defeated the army of Demetrius: and took him, and brought him to Arsaces, and he put him into custody.
3Ele foi, derrotou o exército de Demétrio, prendeu-o e o levou a Arsaces, que o manteve sob guarda.
4And all the land of Juda was at rest all the days of Simon, and he sought the good of his nation: and his power, and his glory pleased them well all his days.
4A terra teve descanso durante todos os dias de Simão. Ele buscou o bem de sua nação, e sua autoridade e sua honra agradaram ao povo durante todos os seus dias.
5And with all his glory he took Joppe for a haven, and made an entrance to the isles of the sea.
5Entre todas as suas honras, tomou Jope como porto e fez dela uma entrada para as ilhas do mar.
6And he enlarged the bounds of his nation, and made himself master of the country.
6Ampliou as fronteiras de sua nação e tomou posse do território.
7And he gathered together a great number of captives, and had the dominion of Gazara, and of Bethsura, and of the castle: and took away all uncleanness out of it and there was none that resisted him.
7Reuniu grande número de cativos e tomou o controle de Gazara, Betsur e da cidadela. Removeu dela as impurezas, e ninguém lhe resistiu.
8And every man tilled his land with peace: and the land of Juda yielded her increase, and the trees of the fields their fruit.
8O povo cultivava a terra em paz. A terra produzia sua colheita, e as árvores das planícies davam fruto.
9The ancient men sat all in the streets, and treated together of the good things of the land, and the young men put on them glory, and the robes of war.
9Os idosos se sentavam nas ruas e conversavam entre si sobre coisas boas. Os jovens vestiam roupas gloriosas e próprias para a guerra.
10And he provided victuals for the cities, and he appointed that they should be furnished with ammunition, so that the fame of his glory was renowned even to the end of the earth.
10Simão providenciou alimento para as cidades e equipou-as com meios de defesa, até que a glória de seu nome se tornou conhecida até os confins da terra.
11He made peace in the land, and Israel rejoiced with great joy.
11Estabeleceu paz na terra, e Israel se alegrou com grande alegria.
12And every man sat under his vine, and under his fig tree: and there was none to make them afraid.
12Cada homem se sentava debaixo de sua videira e de sua figueira, e não havia quem os amedrontasse.
13There was none left in the land to fight against them: kings were discomfited in those days.
13Já não restava na terra ninguém que lutasse contra eles. Os reis foram derrotados naqueles dias.
14And he strengthened all those of his people that were brought low, and he sought the law, and took away every unjust and wicked man.
14Simão fortaleceu todos os humildes de seu povo, buscou a Lei e eliminou todo homem sem Lei e perverso.
15He glorified the sanctuary, and multiplied the vessels of the holy places.
15Glorificou o santuário e aumentou o número dos utensílios do templo.
16And it was heard at Rome, and as far as Sparta, that Jonathan was dead: and they were very sorry.
16Quando chegou a Roma a notícia de que Jônatas havia morrido, e também a Esparta, ficaram profundamente entristecidos.
17But when they heard that Simon his brother was made high priest in his place, and was possessed of all the country, and the cities therein:
17Mas, assim que souberam que Simão, seu irmão, havia se tornado sumo sacerdote em seu lugar e governava a região e suas cidades,
18They wrote to him in tables of brass, to renew the friendship and alliance which they had made with Judas, and with Jonathan his brethren.
18escreveram-lhe em placas de bronze para renovar com ele a amizade e a aliança que haviam confirmado com seus irmãos Judas e Jônatas.
19And they were read before the assembly in Jerusalem. And this is the copy of the letters that the Spartans sent.
19Essas cartas foram lidas diante da assembleia em Jerusalém.
20The princes and the cities of the Spartans to Simon the high priest, and to the ancients, and the priests, and the rest of the people of the Jews their brethren, greeting.
20Esta é a cópia da carta enviada pelos espartanos: “Os governantes e a cidade dos espartanos a Simão, o sumo sacerdote, aos anciãos, aos sacerdotes e ao restante do povo dos judeus, nossos irmãos, saudações.
21The ambassadors that were sent to our people, have told us of your glory, and honour, and joy: and we rejoice at their coming.
21Os embaixadores enviados ao nosso povo nos informaram a respeito de sua glória e honra. Ficamos contentes com a chegada deles
22And we registered what was said by them in the councils of the people in this manner: Numenius the son of Antiochus, and Antipater the son of Jason, ambassadors of the Jews, came to us to renew the former friendship with us.
22e registramos nos arquivos públicos as coisas que nos disseram, nos seguintes termos: ‘Numênio, filho de Antíoco, e Antípatro, filho de Jasão, embaixadores dos judeus, vieram até nós para renovar a amizade que mantinham conosco.
23And it pleased the people to receive the men honourably, and to put a copy of their words in the public records, to be a memorial to the people of the Spartans. And we have written a copy of them to Simon the high priest.
23O povo decidiu receber esses homens com honra e colocar uma cópia de suas palavras nos arquivos públicos, para que o povo dos espartanos tivesse registro delas. Também escreveram uma cópia destas coisas a Simão, o sumo sacerdote.’”
24And after this Simon sent Numenius to Rome, with a great shield of gold the weight of a thousand pounds, to confirm the league with them. And when the people of Rome had heard
24Depois disso, Simão enviou Numênio a Roma levando um grande escudo de ouro que pesava mil minas, para confirmar a aliança com eles.
25These words, they said: What thanks shall we give to Simon, and his sons?
25Quando o povo ouviu essas coisas, disse: “Como agradeceremos a Simão e a seus filhos?
26For he hath restored his brethren, and hath driven away in fight the enemies of Israel from them: and they decreed him liberty, and registered it in tables of brass, and set it upon pillars in mount Sion.
26Pois ele, seus irmãos e a casa de seu pai se fortaleceram, lutaram contra os inimigos de Israel, expulsaram-nos e confirmaram a liberdade de Israel.”
27And this is a copy of the writing: The eighteenth day of the month Elul, in the year one hundred and seventy-two, being the third year under Simon the high priest at Asaramel,
27Então escreveram em placas de bronze e as colocaram sobre colunas no monte Sião. Esta é a cópia do documento: “No décimo oitavo dia de Elul, no ano cento e setenta e dois, que é o terceiro ano de Simão, o sumo sacerdote,
28In a great assembly of the priests, and of the people, and the princes of the nation, and the ancients of the country, these things were notified: Forasmuch as there have often been wars in our country,
28em Asaramel, numa grande assembleia de sacerdotes, povo, príncipes da nação e anciãos da região, foi-nos proclamado:
29And Simon the son of Mathathias of the children of Jarib, and his brethren have put themselves in danger, and have resisted the enemies of their nation, for the maintenance of their holy places, and the law: and have raised their nation to great glory.
29‘Visto que muitas guerras ocorreram na região, Simão, filho de Matatias, descendente dos filhos de Joiaribe, e seus irmãos expuseram-se ao perigo e resistiram aos inimigos de sua nação para que o santuário e a Lei fossem preservados, e assim glorificaram sua nação com grande glória.
30And Jonathan gathered together his nation, and was made their high priest, and he was laid to his people.
30Jônatas reuniu a nação, tornou-se seu sumo sacerdote e foi reunido ao seu povo.
31And their enemies desired to tread down and destroy their country, and to stretch forth their hands against their holy places.
31Seus inimigos planejaram invadir o país para destruí-lo completamente e estender as mãos contra o santuário.
32Then Simon resisted and fought for his nation, and laid out much of his money, and armed the valiant men of his nation, and gave them wages:
32Então Simão se levantou e lutou por sua nação. Gastou grande parte de seu próprio dinheiro para armar os homens valentes de sua nação e pagar-lhes salário.
33And he fortified the cities of Judea, and Bethsura that lieth in the borders of Judea, where the armour of the enemies was before: and he placed there a garrison of Jews.
33Fortificou as cidades da Judeia e Betsur, que fica na fronteira da Judeia, onde antes estavam armazenadas as armas dos inimigos, e colocou ali uma guarnição de judeus.
34And he fortified Joppe which lieth by the sea: and Gazara, which bordereth upon Azotus, wherein the enemies dwelt before, and he placed Jews here: and furnished them with all things convenient for their reparation.
34Fortificou Jope, que fica junto ao mar, e Gazara, na fronteira de Azoto, onde os inimigos costumavam morar. Colocou judeus ali e providenciou tudo o que era necessário para a restauração dessas cidades.
35And the people seeing the acts of Simon, and to what glory he meant to bring his nation, made him their prince, and high priest, because he had done all these things, and for the justice, and faith, which he kept to his nation, and for that he sought by all means to advance his people.
35O povo viu a fidelidade de Simão e a glória que ele procurava trazer à sua nação. Por isso o fizeram seu líder e sumo sacerdote, porque havia realizado todas essas coisas, por causa da justiça e da fidelidade que demonstrava à sua nação e porque procurava de todas as maneiras exaltar seu povo.
36And in his days things prospered in his hands, so that the heathens were taken away out of their country, and they also that were in the city of David in Jerusalem in the castle, out of which they issued forth, and profaned all places round about the sanctuary, and did much evil to its purity.
36Em seus dias, as coisas prosperaram em suas mãos, de modo que os gentios foram expulsos do território, assim como os que estavam na Cidade de Davi, em Jerusalém, onde haviam feito para si uma cidadela da qual saíam para contaminar os arredores do santuário e causar grande dano à sua pureza.
37And he placed therein Jews for the defence of the country, and of the city, and he raised up the walls of Jerusalem.
37Simão colocou judeus ali e a fortificou para a segurança da região e da cidade, e aumentou a altura dos muros de Jerusalém.
38And king Demetrius confirmed him in the high priesthood.
38O rei Demétrio confirmou-lhe o sumo sacerdócio em reconhecimento dessas coisas
39According to these things he made him his friend, and glorified him with great glory.
39e o fez um de seus amigos, honrando-o grandemente,
40For he had heard that the Romans had called the Jews their friends, and confederates, and brethren, and that they had received Simon’s ambassadors with honour:
40pois ouvira que os judeus haviam sido chamados pelos romanos de amigos, aliados e irmãos e que os romanos haviam recebido com honra os embaixadores de Simão.
41And that the Jews, and their priests, had consented that he should be their prince, and high priest for ever, till there should arise a faithful prophet:
41Os judeus e os sacerdotes concordaram que Simão fosse seu líder e sumo sacerdote para sempre, até que surgisse um profeta fiel;
42And that he should be chief over them, and that he should have the charge of the sanctuary, and that he should appoint rulers over their works, and over the country, and over the armour, and over the strong holds.
42que fosse seu governador e ficasse encarregado do santuário, nomeando responsáveis pelas obras, pela região, pelas armas e pelas fortalezas; e que tivesse autoridade sobre o santuário;
43And that he should have care of the holy places: and that he should be obeyed by all, and that all the writings in the country should be made in his name: and that he should be clothed with purple, and gold:
43que todos lhe obedecessem; que todos os contratos da região fossem escritos em seu nome; e que ele vestisse púrpura e usasse ouro.
44And that it should not be lawful for any of the people, or of the priests, to disannul any of these things, or to gainsay his words, or to call together an assembly in the country without him: or to be clothed with purple, or to wear a buckle of gold:
44Não seria permitido a nenhum membro do povo ou dos sacerdotes anular qualquer dessas decisões, opor-se às palavras de Simão, convocar uma assembleia na região sem sua autorização, vestir púrpura ou usar uma fivela de ouro.
45And whosoever shall do otherwise, or shall make void any of these things shall be punished.
45Quem agisse de modo contrário ou anulasse alguma dessas decisões estaria sujeito a punição.’”
46And it pleased all the people to establish Simon, and to do according to these words.
46Todo o povo concordou em conceder a Simão autoridade para agir conforme essas palavras.
47And Simon accepted thereof, and was well pleased to execute the office of the high priesthood, and to be captain, and prince of the nation of the Jews, and of the priests, and to be chief over all.
47Simão aceitou e concordou em ser sumo sacerdote, comandante e governador dos judeus e dos sacerdotes e protetor de todos.
48And they commanded that this writing should be put in tables of brass, and that they should be set up within the compass of the sanctuary, in a conspicuous place:
48Ordenaram que esse documento fosse gravado em placas de bronze e colocado dentro do recinto do santuário, em lugar bem visível,
49And that a copy thereof should be put in the treasury, that Simon and his sons may have it.
49e que cópias fossem guardadas no tesouro, para que Simão e seus filhos as tivessem.
