1In the hundred forty and ninth year it was told Judas, that Antiochus Eupator was coming with a great power into Judea,
1No ano cento e quarenta e nove, chegou a Judas e seus companheiros a notícia de que Antíoco Eupátor vinha contra a Judeia com grandes multidões,
2And with him Lysias his protector, and ruler of his affairs, having either of them a Grecian power of footmen, an hundred and ten thousand, and horsemen five thousand and three hundred, and elephants two and twenty, and three hundred chariots armed with hooks.
2acompanhado de Lísias, seu tutor e chanceler. Cada um deles tinha uma força grega de cento e dez mil soldados de infantaria, cinco mil e trezentos cavaleiros, vinte e dois elefantes e trezentos carros armados com foices.
3Menelaus also joined himself with them, and with great dissimulation encouraged Antiochus, not for the safeguard of the country, but because he thought to have been made governor.
3Menelau também se juntou a eles e, com grande hipocrisia, encorajava Antíoco, não para salvar sua pátria, mas porque esperava ser colocado no governo.
4But the King of kings moved Antiochus’ mind against this wicked wretch, and Lysias informed the king that this man was the cause of all mischief, so that the king commanded to bring him unto Berea, and to put him to death, as the manner is in that place.
4O Rei dos reis, porém, despertou a ira de Antíoco contra aquele perverso. Quando Lísias lhe informou que esse homem era a causa de todos os males, o rei ordenou que o levassem a Bereia e o matassem conforme o costume daquele lugar.
5Now there was in that place a tower of fifty cubits high, full of ashes, and it had a round instrument which on every side hanged down into the ashes.
5Havia ali uma torre de cinquenta côvados de altura, cheia de cinzas, com uma borda circular ao redor, inclinada de todos os lados em direção às cinzas.
6And whosoever was condemned of sacrilege, or had committed any other grievous crime, there did all men thrust him unto death.
6Ali era lançado para a destruição aquele que fosse culpado de sacrilégio ou conhecido por outros crimes graves.
7Such a death it happened that wicked man to die, not having so much as burial in the earth; and that most justly:
7Foi por esse destino que Menelau, transgressor da Lei, morreu, sem obter sequer uma sepultura na terra — e isso com toda justiça.
8For inasmuch as he had committed many sins about the altar, whose fire and ashes were holy, he received his death in ashes.
8Como havia cometido muitos pecados contra o altar, cujo fogo e cujas cinzas eram santos, encontrou nas cinzas a própria morte.
9Now the king came with a barbarous and haughty mind to do far worse to the Jews, than had been done in his father’s time.
9O rei, enfurecido em seu espírito, vinha com a intenção de infligir aos judeus sofrimentos ainda piores do que os praticados no tempo de seu pai.
10Which things when Judas perceived, he commanded the multitude to call upon the Lord night and day, that if ever at any other time, he would now also help them, being at the point to be put from their law, from their country, and from the holy temple:
10Quando Judas soube dessas coisas, ordenou à multidão que clamasse ao Senhor dia e noite, pedindo-lhe, mais do que em qualquer outro momento, que ajudasse aqueles que estavam prestes a ser privados da Lei, da pátria e do santo templo,
11And that he would not suffer the people, that had even now been but a little refreshed, to be in subjection to the blasphemous nations.
11e que não permitisse que o povo, que havia acabado de começar a recuperar-se, caísse nas mãos daqueles gentios profanos.
12So when they had all done this together, and besought the merciful Lord with weeping and fasting, and lying flat upon the ground three days long, Judas, having exhorted them, commanded they should be in a readiness.
12Depois que todos fizeram isso juntos, implorando ao Senhor misericordioso com choro, jejuns e prostrações durante três dias sem cessar, Judas os exortou e ordenou que se reunissem a ele.
13And Judas, being apart with the elders, determined, before the king’s host should enter into Judea, and get the city, to go forth and try the matter in fight by the help of the Lord.
13Depois de consultar em particular os anciãos, decidiu que, antes que o exército do rei entrasse na Judeia e tomasse a cidade, eles sairiam para resolver a questão com o auxílio de Deus.
14So when he had committed all to the Creator of the world, and exhorted his soldiers to fight manfully, even unto death, for the laws, the temple, the city, the country, and the commonwealth, he camped by Modin:
14Entregando a decisão ao Senhor do mundo e exortando os que estavam com ele a lutar nobremente até a morte pelas leis, pelo templo, pela cidade, pela pátria e pelo modo de vida, Judas acampou perto de Modim.
15And having given the watchword to them that were about him, Victory is of God; with the most valiant and choice young men he went in into the king’s tent by night, and slew in the camp about four thousand men, and the chiefest of the elephants, with all that were upon him.
15Deu a seus homens a senha: “A VITÓRIA PERTENCE A DEUS”. Então, com uma força escolhida dos jovens mais valentes, atacou durante a noite o pavilhão do rei e matou cerca de dois mil homens de seu exército; abateu também o elefante principal juntamente com o homem que estava na torre sobre ele.
16And at last they filled the camp with fear and tumult, and departed with good success.
16Por fim, encheram o exército de terror e pânico e partiram com êxito.
17This was done in the break of the day, because the protection of the Lord did help him.
17Isso foi realizado quando o dia começava a amanhecer, graças à proteção do Senhor, que concedeu auxílio a Judas.
18Now when the king had taken a taste of the manliness of the Jews, he went about to take the holds by policy,
18O rei, depois de experimentar a extraordinária ousadia dos judeus, tentou atacar suas posições por meio de estratégias.
19And marched toward Bethsura, which was a strong hold of the Jews: but he was put to flight, failed, and lost of his men:
19Avançou contra Betsur, forte fortaleza dos judeus, mas foi repelido, fracassou e sofreu derrota.
20For Judas had conveyed unto them that were in it such things as were necessary.
20Judas enviou aos que estavam dentro tudo o que lhes era necessário.
21But Rhodocus, who was in the Jews’ host, disclosed the secrets to the enemies; therefore he was sought out, and when they had gotten him, they put him in prison.
21Rodoco, porém, pertencente às fileiras judaicas, revelou segredos ao inimigo. Foi procurado, preso e encerrado na prisão.
22The king treated with them in Bethsum the second time, gave his hand, took their’s, departed, fought with Judas, was overcome;
22O rei negociou pela segunda vez com os judeus em Betsur, ofereceu-lhes a mão direita, recebeu a deles, retirou-se, atacou as forças de Judas e foi derrotado.
23Heard that Philip, who was left over the affairs in Antioch, was desperately bent, confounded, intreated the Jews, submitted himself, and sware to all equal conditions, agreed with them, and offered sacrifice, honoured the temple, and dealt kindly with the place,
23Então soube que Filipe, deixado como chanceler em Antioquia, havia agido temerariamente. Ficou perplexo, fez uma proposta de paz aos judeus, submeteu-se às condições e jurou reconhecer todos os direitos deles. Fez acordo com eles, ofereceu sacrifício, honrou o santuário e o lugar,
24And accepted well of Maccabeus, made him principal governor from Ptolemais unto the Gerrhenians;
24tratou Macabeu com bondade e o recebeu graciosamente. Deixou Hegemônides como governador desde Ptolemaida até os gerrenianos
25Came to Ptolemais: the people there were grieved for the covenants; for they stormed, because they would make their covenants void:
25e foi para Ptolemaida. Os habitantes de Ptolemaida ficaram descontentes com o acordo, pois estavam extremamente indignados contra os judeus e queriam anular seus termos.
26Lysias went up to the judgment seat, said as much as could be in defence of the cause, persuaded, pacified, made them well affected, returned to Antioch. Thus it went touching the king’s coming and departing.
26Lísias apresentou-se para falar, fez a melhor defesa possível, convenceu-os, acalmou-os, conquistou sua boa vontade e partiu para Antioquia. Esse foi o resultado da ofensiva e da retirada do rei.
