1 Macabeus 4
Bíblia Portuguesa Mundial (Brazilian Portuguese)
King James Version with Apocrypha
1Górgias tomou cinco mil soldados de infantaria e mil cavaleiros escolhidos, e o exército partiu durante a noite
1Then took Gorgias five thousand footmen, and a thousand of the best horsemen, and removed out of the camp by night;
2para atacar o exército dos judeus e golpeá-los de surpresa. Os homens da cidadela serviam de guias.
2To the end he might rush in upon the camp of the Jews, and smite them suddenly. And the men of the fortress were his guides.
3Judas soube disso e partiu com seus homens valentes para atacar o exército do rei que estava em Emaús,
3Now when Judas heard thereof he himself removed, and the valiant men with him, that he might smite the king’s army which was at Emmaus,
4enquanto as tropas ainda estavam dispersas fora do acampamento.
4While as yet the forces were dispersed from the camp.
5Górgias chegou de noite ao acampamento de Judas e não encontrou ninguém. Procurou-os nas montanhas, pois dizia: “Esses homens estão fugindo de nós.”
5In the mean season came Gorgias by night into the camp of Judas: and when he found no man there, he sought them in the mountains: for said he, These fellows flee from us
6Ao amanhecer, Judas apareceu na planície com três mil homens, mas eles não tinham as armaduras nem as espadas que desejavam.
6But as soon as it was day, Judas shewed himself in the plain with three thousand men, who nevertheless had neither armour nor swords to their minds.
7Viram que o acampamento dos gentios era forte e fortificado, com cavalaria ao redor, e que aqueles homens eram experientes na guerra.
7And they saw the camp of the heathen, that it was strong and well harnessed, and compassed round about with horsemen; and these were expert of war.
8Judas disse aos homens que estavam com ele: “Não tenham medo do número deles nem se apavorem quando avançarem contra vocês.
8Then said Judas to the men that were with him, Fear ye not their multitude, neither be ye afraid of their assault.
9Lembrem-se de como nossos antepassados foram salvos no mar Vermelho quando Faraó os perseguiu com um exército.
9Remember how our fathers were delivered in the Red sea, when Pharaoh pursued them with an army.
10Agora clamemos ao céu, para ver se ele se agradará de nós, se lembrará da aliança de nossos antepassados e destruirá hoje este exército diante de nós.
10Now therefore let us cry unto heaven, if peradventure the Lord will have mercy upon us, and remember the covenant of our fathers, and destroy this host before our face this day:
11Então todos os gentios saberão que existe alguém que redime e salva Israel.”
11That so all the heathen may know that there is one who delivereth and saveth Israel.
12Os estrangeiros levantaram os olhos e os viram aproximando-se.
12Then the strangers lifted up their eyes, and saw them coming over against them.
13Saíram do acampamento para a batalha, e os que estavam com Judas tocaram as trombetas.
13Wherefore they went out of the camp to battle; but they that were with Judas sounded their trumpets.
14Entraram em combate. Os gentios foram derrotados e fugiram para a planície.
14So they joined battle, and the heathen being discomfited fled into the plain.
15Todos os que ficaram para trás caíram pela espada. Eles os perseguiram até Gazara e até as planícies da Idumeia, Azoto e Jâmnia. Cerca de três mil homens deles caíram.
15Howbeit all the hindmost of them were slain with the sword: for they pursued them unto Gazera, and unto the plains of Idumea, and Azotus, and Jamnia, so that there were slain of them upon a three thousand men.
16Então Judas e seu exército voltaram da perseguição.
16This done, Judas returned again with his host from pursuing them,
17Ele disse ao povo: “Não sejam gananciosos pelos despojos, pois ainda temos uma batalha diante de nós.
17And said to the people, Be not greedy of the spoil inasmuch as there is a battle before us,
18Górgias e seu exército estão perto de nós na montanha. Agora, porém, resistam aos nossos inimigos e lutem contra eles; depois, poderão tomar os despojos com segurança.”
18And Gorgias and his host are here by us in the mountain: but stand ye now against our enemies, and overcome them, and after this ye may boldly take the spoils.
19Enquanto Judas ainda terminava de falar, uma parte deles apareceu observando do alto da montanha.
19As Judas was yet speaking these words, there appeared a part of them looking out of the mountain:
20Eles viram que seu exército havia sido posto em fuga e que os judeus estavam queimando o acampamento, pois a fumaça visível mostrava o que havia acontecido.
20Who when they perceived that the Jews had put their host to flight and were burning the tents; for the smoke that was seen declared what was done:
21Ao perceberem essas coisas, ficaram com muito medo. Viram também o exército de Judas na planície, pronto para a batalha,
21When therefore they perceived these things, they were sore afraid, and seeing also the host of Judas in the plain ready to fight,
22e todos fugiram para a terra dos filisteus.
22They fled every one into the land of strangers.
23Judas voltou para saquear o acampamento, e eles tomaram muito ouro, prata, tecidos azuis, púrpura do mar e grandes riquezas.
23Then Judas returned to spoil the tents, where they got much gold, and silver, and blue silk, and purple of the sea, and great riches.
24Depois voltaram para casa, cantaram um cântico de ação de graças e louvaram o céu, porque ele é bom e sua misericórdia dura para sempre.
24After this they went home, and sung a song of thanksgiving, and praised the Lord in heaven: because it is good, because his mercy endureth forever.
25Naquele dia houve grande libertação em Israel.
25Thus Israel had a great deliverance that day.
26Os estrangeiros que escaparam foram contar a Lísias tudo o que havia acontecido.
26Now all the strangers that had escaped came and told Lysias what had happened:
27Quando ele ouviu, ficou perplexo e desanimado, porque não havia acontecido a Israel o que ele desejava, nem o que o rei havia ordenado.
27Who, when he heard thereof, was confounded and discouraged, because neither such things as he would were done unto Israel, nor such things as the king commanded him were come to pass.
28No ano seguinte, reuniu sessenta mil soldados escolhidos de infantaria e cinco mil cavaleiros para subjugá-los.
28The next year therefore following Lysias gathered together threescore thousand choice men of foot, and five thousand horsemen, that he might subdue them.
29Entraram na Idumeia e acamparam em Betsur. Judas saiu ao encontro deles com dez mil homens.
29So they came into Idumea, and pitched their tents at Bethsura, and Judas met them with ten thousand men.
30Ele viu que o exército era forte e orou: “Bendito és tu, ó Salvador de Israel, que esmagaste o ataque do guerreiro poderoso pela mão de teu servo Davi e entregaste o exército dos filisteus nas mãos de Jônatas, filho de Saul, e de seu escudeiro.
30And when he saw that mighty army, he prayed and said, Blessed art thou, O Saviour of Israel, who didst quell the violence of the mighty man by the hand of thy servant David, and gavest the host of strangers into the hands of Jonathan the son of Saul, and his armourbearer;
31Entrega este exército nas mãos de teu povo Israel e que eles sejam envergonhados por suas tropas e sua cavalaria.
31Shut up this army in the hand of thy people Israel, and let them be confounded in their power and horsemen:
32Enche-os de covardia. Faz desaparecer a ousadia de sua força e que tremam diante de sua destruição.
32Make them to be of no courage, and cause the boldness of their strength to fall away, and let them quake at their destruction:
33Derruba-os pela espada dos que te amam, e que todos os que conhecem teu nome te louvem com ação de graças.”
33Cast them down with the sword of them that love thee, and let all those that know thy name praise thee with thanksgiving.
34Então entraram em combate, e cerca de cinco mil homens do exército de Lísias caíram diante deles.
34So they joined battle; and there were slain of the host of Lysias about five thousand men, even before them were they slain.
35Quando Lísias viu a fuga de suas tropas, a coragem dos homens de Judas e como estavam dispostos a viver ou morrer nobremente, retirou-se para Antioquia e reuniu mercenários para voltar à Judeia com um exército ainda maior.
35Now when Lysias saw his army put to flight, and the manliness of Judas’ soldiers, and how they were ready either to live or die valiantly, he went into Antiochia, and gathered together a company of strangers, and having made his army greater than it was, he purposed to come again into Judea.
36Judas e seus irmãos disseram: “Eis que nossos inimigos foram derrotados. Vamos subir para purificar o lugar santo e dedicá-lo novamente.”
36Then said Judas and his brethren, Behold, our enemies are discomfited: let us go up to cleanse and dedicate the sanctuary.
37Todo o exército se reuniu e subiu ao monte Sião.
37Upon this all the host assembled themselves together, and went up into mount Sion.
38Viram o santuário desolado, o altar profanado, os portões queimados, arbustos crescendo nos pátios como numa floresta ou numa montanha, e as câmaras dos sacerdotes derrubadas.
38And when they saw the sanctuary desolate, and the altar profaned, and the gates burned up, and shrubs growing in the courts as in a forest, or in one of the mountains, yea, and the priests’ chambers pulled down;
39Rasgaram as roupas, fizeram grande lamentação e colocaram cinzas sobre a cabeça.
39They rent their clothes, and made great lamentation, and cast ashes upon their heads,
40Prostraram-se com o rosto em terra, tocaram as trombetas solenes e clamaram ao céu.
40And fell down flat to the ground upon their faces, and blew an alarm with the trumpets, and cried toward heaven.
41Então Judas designou alguns homens para lutar contra os que estavam na cidadela até que ele tivesse purificado o lugar santo.
41Then Judas appointed certain men to fight against those that were in the fortress, until he had cleansed the sanctuary.
42Escolheu sacerdotes irrepreensíveis, dedicados à Lei.
42So he chose priests of blameless conversation, such as had pleasure in the law:
43Eles purificaram o lugar santo e levaram as pedras contaminadas para um lugar impuro.
43Who cleansed the sanctuary, and bare out the defiled stones into an unclean place.
44Deliberaram sobre o que fazer com o altar dos holocaustos, que havia sido profanado.
44And when as they consulted what to do with the altar of burnt offerings, which was profaned;
45Tiveram a boa ideia de derrubá-lo, para que não se tornasse motivo de vergonha para eles, pois os gentios o haviam contaminado. Assim derrubaram o altar
45They thought it best to pull it down, lest it should be a reproach to them, because the heathen had defiled it: wherefore they pulled it down,
46e guardaram as pedras num lugar apropriado no monte do templo, até que viesse um profeta e desse uma resposta a respeito delas.
46And laid up the stones in the mountain of the temple in a convenient place, until there should come a prophet to shew what should be done with them.
47Tomaram pedras inteiras conforme a Lei e construíram um novo altar semelhante ao anterior.
47Then they took whole stones according to the law, and built a new altar according to the former;
48Reconstruíram o lugar santo e as partes internas da casa e consagraram os pátios.
48And made up the sanctuary, and the things that were within the temple, and hallowed the courts.
49Fizeram novos utensílios sagrados e levaram para o templo o candelabro, o altar do incenso e a mesa.
49They made also new holy vessels, and into the temple they brought the candlestick, and the altar of burnt offerings, and of incense, and the table.
50Queimaram incenso sobre o altar, acenderam as lâmpadas que estavam sobre o candelabro, e elas iluminaram o templo.
50And upon the altar they burned incense, and the lamps that were upon the candlestick they lighted, that they might give light in the temple.
51Colocaram pães sobre a mesa, penduraram as cortinas e terminaram toda a obra que haviam realizado.
51Furthermore they set the loaves upon the table, and spread out the veils, and finished all the works which they had begun to make.
52Levantaram-se bem cedo, no vigésimo quinto dia do nono mês, o mês de Quisleu, no ano cento e quarenta e oito,
52Now on the five and twentieth day of the ninth month, which is called the month Casleu, in the hundred forty and eighth year, they rose up betimes in the morning,
53e ofereceram sacrifícios conforme a Lei sobre o novo altar de holocaustos que haviam construído.
53And offered sacrifice according to the law upon the new altar of burnt offerings, which they had made.
54Na mesma época e no mesmo dia em que os gentios o haviam profanado, ele foi dedicado com cânticos, harpas, liras e címbalos.
54Look, at what time and what day the heathen had profaned it, even in that was it dedicated with songs, and citherns, and harps, and cymbals.
55Todo o povo se prostrou com o rosto em terra, adorou e louvou o céu, que lhes havia dado êxito.
55Then all the people fell upon their faces, worshipping and praising the God of heaven, who had given them good success.
56Celebraram a dedicação do altar durante oito dias, ofereceram holocaustos com alegria e sacrificaram sacrifícios de libertação e louvor.
56And so they kept the dedication of the altar eight days and offered burnt offerings with gladness, and sacrificed the sacrifice of deliverance and praise.
57Decoraram a fachada do templo com coroas de ouro e pequenos escudos. Dedicaram os portões e as câmaras dos sacerdotes e fizeram portas para elas.
57They decked also the forefront of the temple with crowns of gold, and with shields; and the gates and the chambers they renewed, and hanged doors upon them.
58Houve alegria extremamente grande entre o povo, e a vergonha causada pelos gentios foi removida.
58Thus was there very great gladness among the people, for that the reproach of the heathen was put away.
59Judas, seus irmãos e toda a assembleia de Israel determinaram que os dias da dedicação do altar fossem celebrados todos os anos, por oito dias, a partir do vigésimo quinto dia do mês de Quisleu, com alegria e júbilo.
59Moreover Judas and his brethren with the whole congregation of Israel ordained, that the days of the dedication of the altar should be kept in their season from year to year by the space of eight days, from the five and twentieth day of the month Casleu, with mirth and gladness.
60Naquele tempo, fortificaram o monte Sião com altos muros e torres fortes ao redor, para que os gentios não viessem e o pisoteassem novamente, como haviam feito antes.
60At that time also they builded up the mount Sion with high walls and strong towers round about, lest the Gentiles should come and tread it down as they had done before.
61Judas colocou ali uma guarnição para protegê-lo. Também fortificaram Betsur, para que o povo tivesse uma fortaleza diante da Idumeia.
61And they set there a garrison to keep it, and fortified Bethsura to preserve it; that the people might have a defence against Idumea.
