1Then came up John from Gazera, and told Simon his father what Cendebeus had done.
1João subiu de Gazara e contou a Simão, seu pai, o que Cendebeu estava fazendo.
2Wherefore Simon called his two eldest sons, Judas and John, and said unto them, I, and my brethren, and my father’s house, have ever from my youth unto this day fought against the enemies of Israel; and things have prospered so well in our hands, that we have delivered Israel oftentimes.
2Simão chamou seus dois filhos mais velhos, Judas e João, e lhes disse: “Eu, meus irmãos e a casa de meu pai temos lutado as batalhas de Israel desde nossa juventude até hoje, e muitas vezes as coisas prosperaram em nossas mãos, de modo que livramos Israel.
3But now I am old, and ye, by God’s mercy, are of a sufficient age: be ye instead of me and my brother, and go and fight for our nation, and the help from heaven be with you.
3Agora, porém, estou velho, e vocês, pela misericórdia dele, já têm idade suficiente. Tomem o meu lugar e o lugar de meu irmão, saiam e lutem por nossa nação. Que o auxílio que vem do céu esteja com vocês.”
4So he chose out of the country twenty thousand men of war with horsemen, who went out against Cendebeus, and rested that night at Modin.
4Escolheu no país vinte mil homens de guerra e cavaleiros. Eles saíram contra Cendebeu e passaram a noite em Modim.
5And when as they rose in the morning, and went into the plain, behold, a mighty great host both of footmen and horsemen came against them: howbeit there was a water brook betwixt them.
5Pela manhã se levantaram, avançaram para a planície e viram um grande exército de infantaria e cavalaria vindo ao encontro deles. Havia um riacho entre os dois exércitos.
6So he and his people pitched over against them: and when he saw that the people were afraid to go over the water brook, he went first over himself, and then the men seeing him passed through after him.
6João acampou perto deles com seu povo. Viu que seus homens estavam com medo de atravessar o riacho e atravessou primeiro. Quando o viram, os homens atravessaram depois dele.
7That done, he divided his men, and set the horsemen in the midst of the footmen: for the enemies’ horsemen were very many.
7Dividiu o povo e colocou a cavalaria no meio da infantaria, pois a cavalaria dos inimigos era extremamente numerosa.
8Then sounded they with the holy trumpets: whereupon Cendebeus and his host were put to flight, so that many of them were slain, and the remnant gat them to the strong hold.
8Tocaram as trombetas, e Cendebeu e seu exército foram postos em fuga. Muitos deles caíram feridos de morte, e os restantes fugiram para a fortaleza.
9At that time was Judas John’s brother wounded; but John still followed after them, until he came to Cedron, which Cendebeus had built.
9Naquele momento, Judas, irmão de João, foi ferido, mas João continuou a perseguição até chegar a Cedrom, que Cendebeu havia construído.
10So they fled even unto the towers in the fields of Azotus; wherefore he burned it with fire: so that there were slain of them about two thousand men. Afterward he returned into the land of Judea in peace.
10Eles fugiram para as torres que ficavam nos campos de Azoto, e João as incendiou. Cerca de dois mil homens deles caíram. Depois João voltou em paz para a Judeia.
11Moreover in the plain of Jericho was Ptolemeus the son of Abubus made captain, and he had abundance of silver and gold:
11Ptolomeu, filho de Abubo, havia sido nomeado governador da planície de Jericó e possuía muita prata e ouro,
12For he was the high priest’s son in law.
12pois era genro do sumo sacerdote.
13Wherefore his heart being lifted up, he thought to get the country to himself, and thereupon consulted deceitfully against Simon and his sons to destroy them.
13Seu coração se encheu de orgulho. Planejou apoderar-se do país e elaborou planos enganosos contra Simão e seus filhos para eliminá-los.
14Now Simon was visiting the cities that were in the country, and taking care for the good ordering of them; at which time he came down himself to Jericho with his sons, Mattathias and Judas, in the hundred threescore and seventeenth year, in the eleventh month, called Sabat:
14Simão visitava as cidades da região e cuidava de suas necessidades. Desceu a Jericó com Matatias e Judas, seus filhos, no ano cento e setenta e sete, no décimo primeiro mês, o mês de Sebate.
15Where the son of Abubus receiving them deceitfully into a little hold, called Docus, which he had built, made them a great banquet: howbeit he had hid men there.
15O filho de Abubo os recebeu com engano na pequena fortaleza chamada Doc, que ele havia construído. Preparou para eles um grande banquete e escondeu homens ali.
16So when Simon and his sons had drunk largely, Ptolemee and his men rose up, and took their weapons, and came upon Simon into the banqueting place, and slew him, and his two sons, and certain of his servants.
16Quando Simão e seus filhos já haviam bebido bastante, Ptolomeu e seus homens se levantaram, pegaram as armas, avançaram contra Simão no salão do banquete e mataram-no, juntamente com seus dois filhos e alguns de seus servos.
17In which doing he committed a great treachery, and recompensed evil for good.
17Assim cometeu uma grande iniquidade e retribuiu o bem com o mal.
18Then Ptolemee wrote these things, and sent to the king, that he should send him an host to aid him, and he would deliver him the country and cities.
18Ptolomeu escreveu ao rei contando essas coisas e pedindo que lhe enviasse tropas para ajudá-lo e lhe entregasse o país e as cidades.
19He sent others also to Gazera to kill John: and unto the tribunes he sent letters to come unto him, that he might give them silver, and gold, and rewards.
19Enviou outros homens a Gazara para matar João. Aos comandantes de milhares, enviou cartas pedindo que viessem até ele, prometendo-lhes prata, ouro e presentes.
20And others he sent to take Jerusalem, and the mountain of the temple.
20Enviou ainda outros para tomar posse de Jerusalém e do monte do templo.
21Now one had run afore to Gazera and told John that his father and brethren were slain, and, quoth he, Ptolemee hath sent to slay thee also.
21Um homem correu na frente até Gazara e contou a João que seu pai e seus irmãos haviam morrido e que Ptolomeu havia enviado homens para matá-lo também.
22Hereof when he heard, he was sore astonished: so he laid hands on them that were come to destroy him, and slew them; for he knew that they sought to make him away.
22Quando ouviu isso, João ficou profundamente abalado. Prendeu os homens que haviam vindo para matá-lo e os matou, pois percebeu que procuravam destruí-lo.
23As concerning the rest of the acts of John, and his wars, and worthy deeds which he did, and the building of the walls which he made, and his doings,
23Quanto aos demais atos de João, suas guerras, os feitos valentes que realizou, a construção dos muros que edificou e suas realizações,
24Behold, these are written in the chronicles of his priesthood, from the time he was made high priest after his father.
24eis que estão escritos nas crônicas de seu sumo sacerdócio, desde o tempo em que foi feito sumo sacerdote depois de seu pai.
