1 Macabeus 3
Bíblia Portuguesa Mundial (Brazilian Portuguese)
King James Version with Apocrypha
1Judas, seu filho, chamado Macabeu, levantou-se em seu lugar.
1Then his son Judas, called Maccabeus, rose up in his stead.
2Todos os seus parentes o ajudaram, assim como todos os que haviam se unido a seu pai, e lutaram com alegria a batalha de Israel.
2And all his brethren helped him, and so did all they that held with his father, and they fought with cheerfulness the battle of Israel.
3Ele trouxe grande glória ao seu povo, vestiu uma couraça como um gigante, cingiu suas armas de guerra, organizou batalhas e protegeu o exército com sua espada.
3So he gat his people great honour, and put on a breastplate as a giant, and girt his warlike harness about him, and he made battles, protecting the host with his sword.
4Em seus feitos, era como um leão e como um filhote de leão rugindo por sua presa.
4In his acts he was like a lion, and like a lion’s whelp roaring for his prey.
5Perseguiu e caçou os homens sem Lei e queimou os que perturbavam seu povo.
5For He pursued the wicked, and sought them out, and burnt up those that vexed his people.
6Os homens sem Lei recuaram de medo dele; todos os que praticavam a injustiça ficaram muito perturbados, e a libertação prosperou em suas mãos.
6Wherefore the wicked shrunk for fear of him, and all the workers of iniquity were troubled, because salvation prospered in his hand.
7Provocou a ira de muitos reis e alegrou Jacó com seus feitos. Sua memória é bendita para sempre.
7He grieved also many kings, and made Jacob glad with his acts, and his memorial is blessed for ever.
8Percorreu as cidades de Judá, destruiu os ímpios da terra e afastou a ira de Israel.
8Moreover he went through the cities of Juda, destroying the ungodly out of them, and turning away wrath from Israel:
9Seu nome tornou-se conhecido até os confins da terra. Reuniu os que estavam prestes a perecer.
9So that he was renowned unto the utmost part of the earth, and he received unto him such as were ready to perish.
10Apolônio reuniu os gentios e um grande exército da Samaria para lutar contra Israel.
10Then Apollonius gathered the Gentiles together, and a great host out of Samaria, to fight against Israel.
11Judas soube disso, saiu ao encontro dele, derrotou-o e o matou. Muitos caíram feridos de morte, e os restantes fugiram.
11Which thing when Judas perceived, he went forth to meet him, and so he smote him, and slew him: many also fell down slain, but the rest fled.
12Tomaram seus despojos, e Judas tomou a espada de Apolônio e lutou com ela todos os dias de sua vida.
12Wherefore Judas took their spoils, and Apollonius’ sword also, and therewith he fought all his life long.
13Serom, comandante do exército da Síria, ouviu que Judas havia reunido uma grande multidão, incluindo um grupo de homens fiéis que permaneciam com ele e saíam para a guerra.
13Now when Seron, a prince of the army of Syria, heard say that Judas had gathered unto him a multitude and company of the faithful to go out with him to war;
14Ele disse: “Conquistarei para mim um nome e glória no reino. Lutarei contra Judas e os que estão com ele, que desprezam a ordem do rei.”
14He said, I will get me a name and honour in the kingdom; for I will go fight with Judas and them that are with him, who despise the king’s commandment.
15Um poderoso exército de ímpios subiu com ele para ajudá-lo a se vingar dos filhos de Israel.
15So he made him ready to go up, and there went with him a mighty host of the ungodly to help him, and to be avenged of the children of Israel.
16Ele se aproximou da subida de Bet-Horom, e Judas saiu ao encontro dele com um pequeno grupo.
16And when he came near to the going up of Bethhoron, Judas went forth to meet him with a small company:
17Quando viram o exército vindo contra eles, disseram a Judas: “Como poderemos, sendo tão poucos, lutar contra uma multidão tão grande e poderosa? Além disso, estamos fracos, pois hoje não provamos alimento algum.”
17Who, when they saw the host coming to meet them, said unto Judas, How shall we be able, being so few, to fight against so great a multitude and so strong, seeing we are ready to faint with fasting all this day?
18Judas respondeu: “É fácil muitos serem cercados pelas mãos de poucos. Para o céu, tanto faz salvar por muitos ou por poucos,
18Unto whom Judas answered, It is no hard matter for many to be shut up in the hands of a few; and with the God of heaven it is all one, to deliver with a great multitude, or a small company:
19pois a vitória na batalha não depende da multidão de um exército; a força vem do céu.
19For the victory of battle standeth not in the multitude of an host; but strength cometh from heaven.
20Eles vêm contra nós cheios de insolência e injustiça, para nos destruir, juntamente com nossas esposas e nossos filhos, e para nos saquear;
20They come against us in much pride and iniquity to destroy us, and our wives and children, and to spoil us:
21nós, porém, lutamos por nossa vida e por nossas leis.
21But we fight for our lives and our laws.
22Ele mesmo os esmagará diante de nós. Quanto a vocês, não tenham medo deles.”
22Wherefore the Lord himself will overthrow them before our face: and as for you, be ye not afraid of them.
23Assim que terminou de falar, lançou-se de repente contra Serom e seu exército, e eles foram derrotados diante dele.
23Now as soon as he had left off speaking, he leapt suddenly upon them, and so Seron and his host was overthrown before him.
24Perseguiram-nos pela descida de Bet-Horom até a planície, e cerca de oitocentos homens deles caíram. Os demais fugiram para a terra dos filisteus.
24And they pursued them from the going down of Bethhoron unto the plain, where were slain about eight hundred men of them; and the residue fled into the land of the Philistines.
25Então o temor de Judas e de seus irmãos, e o pavor deles, começaram a cair sobre as nações ao redor.
25Then began the fear of Judas and his brethren, and an exceeding great dread, to fall upon the nations round about them:
26Sua fama chegou ao rei, e todas as nações falavam das batalhas de Judas.
26Insomuch as his fame came unto the king, and all nations talked of the battles of Judas.
27Quando o rei Antíoco ouviu essas notícias, encheu-se de indignação. Mandou reunir todas as forças de seu reino, um exército extremamente poderoso.
27Now when king Antiochus heard these things, he was full of indignation: wherefore he sent and gathered together all the forces of his realm, even a very strong army.
28Abriu seu tesouro, pagou às tropas o soldo de um ano e ordenou que estivessem prontas para qualquer necessidade.
28He opened also his treasure, and gave his soldiers pay for a year, commanding them to be ready whensoever he should need them.
29Viu que o dinheiro de seus tesouros havia acabado e que os tributos do país eram poucos por causa da divisão e do desastre que ele havia trazido sobre a terra ao tentar abolir as leis existentes desde os tempos antigos.
29Nevertheless, when he saw that the money of his treasures failed and that the tributes in the country were small, because of the dissension and plague, which he had brought upon the land in taking away the laws which had been of old time;
30Teve medo de não ter o suficiente, como em outras ocasiões, para as despesas e os presentes que costumava distribuir generosamente, com mais abundância do que os reis que o antecederam.
30He feared that he should not be able to bear the charges any longer, nor to have such gifts to give so liberally as he did before: for he had abounded above the kings that were before him.
31Ficou profundamente perplexo e decidiu ir à Pérsia, recolher os tributos daqueles países e juntar muito dinheiro.
31Wherefore, being greatly perplexed in his mind, he determined to go into Persia, there to take the tributes of the countries, and to gather much money.
32Deixou Lísias, homem honrado e de linhagem real, encarregado dos assuntos do rei desde o rio Eufrates até as fronteiras do Egito,
32So he left Lysias, a nobleman, and one of the blood royal, to oversee the affairs of the king from the river Euphrates unto the borders of Egypt:
33e encarregado de criar seu filho Antíoco até que ele voltasse.
33And to bring up his son Antiochus, until he came again.
34Entregou a Lísias metade de suas tropas e os elefantes e lhe deu ordens a respeito de tudo o que queria que fosse feito, especialmente quanto aos habitantes da Judeia e de Jerusalém:
34Moreover he delivered unto him the half of his forces, and the elephants, and gave him charge of all things that he would have done, as also concerning them that dwelt in Juda and Jerusalem:
35deveria enviar um exército contra eles para arrancar e destruir a força de Israel e o remanescente de Jerusalém e apagar sua memória daquele lugar;
35To wit, that he should send an army against them, to destroy and root out the strength of Israel, and the remnant of Jerusalem, and to take away their memorial from that place;
36deveria fazer estrangeiros habitarem em todo o território deles e dividir a terra entre esses estrangeiros por sorteio.
36And that he should place strangers in all their quarters, and divide their land by lot.
37O rei tomou a metade restante das tropas e deixou Antioquia, sua cidade real, no ano cento e quarenta e sete; atravessou o rio Eufrates e percorreu as regiões do norte.
37So the king took the half of the forces that remained, and departed from Antioch, his royal city, the hundred forty and seventh year; and having passed the river Euphrates, he went through the high countries.
38Lísias escolheu Ptolomeu, filho de Dorímenes, Nicanor e Górgias, homens poderosos dentre os amigos do rei,
38Then Lysias chose Ptolemee the son of Dorymenes, Nicanor, and Gorgias, mighty men of the king’s friends:
39e enviou com eles quarenta mil soldados de infantaria e sete mil cavaleiros para entrar na terra de Judá e destruí-la conforme a palavra do rei.
39And with them he sent forty thousand footmen, and seven thousand horsemen, to go into the land of Juda, and to destroy it, as the king commanded.
40Eles partiram com todo o exército e chegaram perto de Emaús, onde acamparam na planície.
40So they went forth with all their power, and came and pitched by Emmaus in the plain country.
41Os mercadores da região ouviram falar da fama deles e vieram ao acampamento com muita prata, ouro e correntes, para comprar os filhos de Israel como escravos. Tropas da Síria e da terra dos filisteus juntaram-se a eles.
41And the merchants of the country, hearing the fame of them, took silver and gold very much, with servants, and came into the camp to buy the children of Israel for slaves: a power also of Syria and of the land of the Philistines joined themselves unto them.
42Judas e seus irmãos viram que os males se multiplicavam e que os exércitos acampavam em suas fronteiras. Ficaram sabendo das ordens do rei para destruir o povo e acabar com ele.
42Now when Judas and his brethren saw that miseries were multiplied, and that the forces did encamp themselves in their borders: for they knew how the king had given commandment to destroy the people, and utterly abolish them;
43Então disseram uns aos outros: “Vamos restaurar as ruínas de nosso povo e lutar por nosso povo e pelo lugar santo.”
43They said one to another, Let us restore the decayed fortune of our people, and let us fight for our people and the sanctuary.
44A assembleia se reuniu para se preparar para a batalha e para orar e pedir misericórdia e compaixão.
44Then was the congregation gathered together, that they might be ready for battle, and that they might pray, and ask mercy and compassion.
45Jerusalém estava desabitada como um deserto. Nenhum de seus filhos entrava ou saía. O santuário estava sendo pisoteado. Filhos de estrangeiros ocupavam a cidadela. Os gentios moravam ali. A alegria foi tirada de Jacó, e a flauta e a harpa silenciaram.
45Now Jerusalem lay void as a wilderness, there was none of her children that went in or out: the sanctuary also was trodden down, and aliens kept the strong hold; the heathen had their habitation in that place; and joy was taken from Jacob, and the pipe with the harp ceased.
46Eles se reuniram e foram a Mispá, perto de Jerusalém, pois antigamente havia em Mispá um lugar de oração para Israel.
46Wherefore the Israelites assembled themselves together, and came to Maspha, over against Jerusalem; for in Maspha was the place where they prayed aforetime in Israel.
47Jejuaram naquele dia, vestiram pano de saco, colocaram cinzas sobre a cabeça e rasgaram as roupas.
47Then they fasted that day, and put on sackcloth, and cast ashes upon their heads, and rent their clothes,
48Abriram o livro da Lei para buscar orientação, como os gentios consultavam as imagens de seus ídolos.
48And laid open the book of the law, wherein the heathen had sought to paint the likeness of their images.
49Trouxeram as vestes dos sacerdotes, as primícias e os dízimos e convocaram os nazireus que haviam completado os dias de seu voto.
49They brought also the priests’ garments, and the firstfruits, and the tithes: and the Nazarites they stirred up, who had accomplished their days.
50Clamaram em alta voz ao céu: “O que faremos com estes homens? Para onde os levaremos?
50Then cried they with a loud voice toward heaven, saying, What shall we do with these, and whither shall we carry them away?
51Teu lugar santo está sendo pisoteado e profanado. Teus sacerdotes estão de luto e humilhados.
51For thy sanctuary is trodden down and profaned, and thy priests are in heaviness, and brought low.
52Eis que os gentios se reuniram contra nós para nos destruir. Tu sabes o que planejam contra nós.
52And lo, the heathen are assembled together against us to destroy us: what things they imagine against us, thou knowest.
53Como poderemos resistir a eles se tu não nos ajudares?”
53How shall we be able to stand against them, except thou, O God, be our help?
54Então tocaram as trombetas e deram um grande grito.
54Then sounded they with trumpets, and cried with a loud voice.
55Depois disso, Judas nomeou líderes do povo: comandantes de milhares, de centenas, de cinquenta e de dez.
55And after this Judas ordained captains over the people, even captains over thousands, and over hundreds, and over fifties, and over tens.
56Conforme a Lei, disse aos que estavam construindo casas, aos que estavam noivos, aos que estavam plantando vinhas e aos medrosos que voltassem, cada um para sua casa.
56But as for such as were building houses, or had betrothed wives, or were planting vineyards, or were fearful, those he commanded that they should return, every man to his own house, according to the law.
57O exército partiu e acampou ao sul de Emaús.
57So the camp removed, and pitched upon the south side of Emmaus.
58Judas disse: “Armem-se e sejam valentes! Estejam prontos pela manhã para lutar contra esses gentios que se reuniram contra nós para nos destruir e destruir nosso lugar santo.
58And Judas said, arm yourselves, and be valiant men, and see that ye be in readiness against the morning, that ye may fight with these nations, that are assembled together against us to destroy us and our sanctuary:
59Pois é melhor morrermos em batalha do que vermos as calamidades de nossa nação e do lugar santo.
59For it is better for us to die in battle, than to behold the calamities of our people and our sanctuary.
60No entanto, seja feita a vontade do céu.”
60Nevertheless, as the will of God is in heaven, so let him do.
