Bíblia Portuguesa Mundial (Brazilian Portuguese)
1Now the children of Israel, that dwelt in Judea, heard all that Holofernes the chief captain of Nabuchodonosor king of the Assyrians had done to the nations, and after what manner he had spoiled all their temples, and brought them to nought.
1Os filhos de Israel que habitavam na Judeia souberam de tudo o que Holofernes, comandante-chefe de Nabucodonosor, rei dos assírios, havia feito às nações e de como havia saqueado todos os seus templos e os destruído completamente.
2Therefore they were exceedingly afraid of him, and were troubled for Jerusalem, and for the temple of the Lord their God:
2Ficaram extremamente amedrontados com a aproximação dele e preocupados com Jerusalém e com o templo do Senhor, seu Deus,
3For they were newly returned from the captivity, and all the people of Judea were lately gathered together: and the vessels, and the altar, and the house, were sanctified after the profanation.
3pois tinham acabado de voltar do cativeiro, e todo o povo da Judeia havia se reunido recentemente. Os utensílios, o altar e o templo haviam sido novamente consagrados depois de terem sido profanados.
4Therefore they sent into all the coasts of Samaria, and the villages and to Bethoron, and Belmen, and Jericho, and to Choba, and Esora, and to the valley of Salem:
4Enviaram mensageiros a toda a região de Samaria, a Cona, Bete-Horom, Belmaim, Jericó, Coba, Esora e ao vale de Salém.
5And possessed themselves beforehand of all the tops of the high mountains, and fortified the villages that were in them, and laid up victuals for the provision of war: for their fields were of late reaped.
5Ocuparam previamente todos os cumes das montanhas altas, fortificaram as aldeias que havia nelas e armazenaram provisões para a guerra, pois os campos haviam acabado de ser colhidos.
6Also Joacim the high priest, which was in those days in Jerusalem, wrote to them that dwelt in Bethulia, and Betomestham, which is over against Esdraelon toward the open country, near to Dothaim,
6Joaquim, o sumo sacerdote que naqueles dias estava em Jerusalém, escreveu aos habitantes de Betúlia e Betomestaim, que fica diante de Esdrelom, em direção à planície próxima de Dotaim,
7Charging them to keep the passages of the hill country: for by them there was an entrance into Judea, and it was easy to stop them that would come up, because the passage was straight, for two men at the most.
7ordenando-lhes que ocupassem as passagens de acesso à região montanhosa, pois por elas se entrava na Judeia. Era fácil impedir que o inimigo avançasse, porque a passagem era estreita, com espaço para no máximo dois homens.
8And the children of Israel did as Joacim the high priest had commanded them, with the ancients of all the people of Israel, which dwelt at Jerusalem.
8Os filhos de Israel fizeram conforme Joaquim, o sumo sacerdote, lhes havia ordenado, e também conforme determinara o conselho de anciãos de todo o povo de Israel reunido em Jerusalém.
9Then every man of Israel cried to God with great fervency, and with great vehemency did they humble their souls:
9Todo homem de Israel clamou a Deus com grande fervor, e todos se humilharam profundamente.
10Both they, and their wives and their children, and their cattle, and every stranger and hireling, and their servants bought with money, put sackcloth upon their loins.
10Eles, suas mulheres, seus filhos, seus animais, todos os estrangeiros residentes, trabalhadores contratados e servos comprados com dinheiro vestiram pano de saco.
11Thus every man and women, and the little children, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, fell before the temple, and cast ashes upon their heads, and spread out their sackcloth before the face of the Lord: also they put sackcloth about the altar,
11Todos os homens e mulheres de Israel, inclusive as crianças e os habitantes de Jerusalém, prostraram-se diante do templo, lançaram cinzas sobre a cabeça e estenderam seus panos de saco diante do Senhor. Também cobriram o altar com pano de saco.
12And cried to the God of Israel all with one consent earnestly, that he would not give their children for a prey, and their wives for a spoil, and the cities of their inheritance to destruction, and the sanctuary to profanation and reproach, and for the nations to rejoice at.
12Clamaram ao Deus de Israel com grande fervor e em uníssono, pedindo que ele não entregasse seus filhos como presa, suas mulheres ao saque, as cidades de sua herança à destruição, nem o santuário à profanação e à vergonha, para alegria das nações.
13So God heard their prayers, and looked upon their afflictions: for the people fasted many days in all Judea and Jerusalem before the sanctuary of the Lord Almighty.
13O Senhor ouviu sua voz e atentou para sua aflição. O povo continuou jejuando muitos dias em toda a Judeia e em Jerusalém diante do santuário do Senhor Todo-Poderoso.
14And Joacim the high priest, and all the priests that stood before the Lord, and they which ministered unto the Lord, had their loins girt with sackcloth, and offered the daily burnt offerings, with the vows and free gifts of the people,
14Joaquim, o sumo sacerdote, todos os sacerdotes que permaneciam diante do Senhor e os que serviam ao Senhor vestiram pano de saco e ofereceram o holocausto contínuo, os votos e as ofertas voluntárias do povo.
15And had ashes on their mitres, and cried unto the Lord with all their power, that he would look upon all the house of Israel graciously.
15Tinham cinzas sobre seus turbantes e clamavam ao Senhor com todas as suas forças, para que olhasse com bondade para toda a casa de Israel.
