1Quando os gentios ao redor ouviram que o altar havia sido reconstruído e que o santuário havia sido dedicado como antes, ficaram extremamente irados.
1Now it came to pass, when the nations round about heard that the altar and the sanctuary were built up as before, that they were exceeding angry.

3Then Judas fought against the children of Esau in Idumea, and them that were in Acrabathane: because they beset the Israelites around about, and he made a great slaughter of them.
4Lembrou-se da maldade dos filhos de Beã, que eram uma armadilha e pedra de tropeço para o povo, preparando emboscadas nas estradas.
4And he remembered the malice of the children of Bean: who were a snare and a stumblingblock to the people, by lying in wait for them in the way.
5Ele os cercou nas torres, acampou contra eles, destruiu-os completamente e queimou as torres daquele lugar com todos os que estavam dentro delas.
5And they were shut up by him in towers, and he set upon them, and devoted them to utter destruction, and burnt their towers with fire, and all that were in them.
6Depois passou para os filhos de Amom e encontrou um poderoso grupo e muita gente, tendo Timóteo como comandante.
6Then he passed over to the children of Ammon, where he found a mighty power, and much people, and Timotheus was their captain:
7Travou muitas batalhas contra eles, e eles foram derrotados diante dele. Ele os feriu

11And they are preparing to come, and to take the fortress into which we are fled: and Timotheus is the captain of their host.

13Todos os nossos irmãos que estavam na terra de Tobias foram mortos. Levaram cativas suas esposas, seus filhos e seus bens e mataram ali cerca de mil homens.”
13And all our brethren that were in the places of Tubin, are killed: and they have carried away their wives, and their children, captives, and taken their spoils, and they have slain there almost a thousand men.
14Enquanto as cartas ainda estavam sendo lidas, chegaram outros mensageiros da Galileia com as roupas rasgadas, trazendo notícia semelhante.
14And while they were yet reading these letters, behold there came other messengers out Galilee with their garments rent, who related according to these words:
15Disseram: “Os habitantes de Ptolemaida, Tiro, Sidom e toda a Galileia dos gentios se reuniram para nos destruir.”
15Saying, that they of Ptolemais, and of Tyre, and of Sidon, were assembled against them, and all Galilee is filled with strangers, in order to consume us.
16Quando Judas e o povo ouviram essas palavras, uma grande assembleia se reuniu para decidir o que fazer por seus irmãos que estavam em perigo e sob ataque.
16Now when Judas and all the people heard these words, a great assembly met together to consider what they should do for their brethren that were in trouble, and were assaulted by them.
17Judas disse a Simão, seu irmão: “Escolha homens e vá livrar nossos irmãos que estão na Galileia. Eu e Jônatas, meu irmão, iremos à terra de Gileade.”
17And Judas said to Simon his brother: Choose thee men, and go, and deliver they brethren in Galilee: and I, and my brother Jonathan will go into the country of Galaad.
18Deixou José, filho de Zacarias, e Azarias como líderes do povo, com o restante do exército na Judeia, para protegê-la.
18And he left Joseph the son of Zacharias, and Azarias captains of the people with the remnant of the army in Judea to keep it:
19Ordenou-lhes: “Fiquem encarregados deste povo e não travem batalha contra os gentios até que voltemos.”
19And he commanded them, saying: Take ye the charge of this people: but make no war against the heathens, till we return.
20Foram designados três mil homens para ir à Galileia com Simão, e oito mil foram designados para ir com Judas à terra de Gileade.
20Now three thousand men were alloted to Simon, to go into Galilee: and eight thousand to Judas to go into the land of Galaad.
21Simão foi para a Galileia e travou muitas batalhas contra os gentios, e os gentios foram derrotados diante dele.
21And Simon went into Galilee, and fought many battles with the heathens: and the heathens were discomfited before his face, and he pursued them even to the gate of Ptolemais.
22Perseguiu-os até o portão de Ptolemaida. Cerca de três mil homens dos gentios caíram, e ele tomou seus despojos.
22And there fell of the heathens almost three thousand men, and he took the spoils of them,
23Levou consigo os que estavam na Galileia e em Arbata, com suas esposas, seus filhos e tudo o que possuíam, e os trouxe para a Judeia com grande alegria.
23And he took with him those that were in Galilee and in Arbatis with their wives, and children, and all that they had, and he brought them into Judea with great joy.
24Judas Macabeu e seu irmão Jônatas atravessaram o Jordão e caminharam três dias pelo deserto.
24And Judas Machabeus, and Jonathan his brother passed over the Jordan, and went three days’ journey through the desert.
25Encontraram-se com os nabateus, que os receberam pacificamente e lhes contaram tudo o que havia acontecido com seus irmãos na terra de Gileade,
25And the Nabutheans met them, and received them in a peaceable manner, and told them all that happened to their brethren in the land of Galaad,
26e como muitos deles estavam cercados em Bosora, Bosor, Alema, Casfor, Maqued e Carnaim — todas cidades fortes e grandes —
26And that many of them were shut up in Barasa, and in Bosor, and in Alima, and in Casphor, and in Mageth, and in Carnaim: all these strong and great cities.
27e como outros estavam cercados nas demais cidades da terra de Gileade. Disseram também que no dia seguinte os inimigos planejavam acampar contra as fortalezas, tomá-las e destruir todos aqueles homens num só dia.
27Yea, and that they were kept shut up in the rest of the cities of Galaad, and that they had appointed to bring their army on the morrow near to these cities, and to take them and to destroy them all in one day.
28Judas e seu exército mudaram repentinamente de direção e seguiram pelo deserto até Bosora. Ele tomou a cidade, matou todos os homens ao fio da espada, tomou todos os seus despojos e incendiou a cidade.
28Then Judas and his army suddenly turned their march into the desert, to Bosor, and took the city: and he slew every male by the edge of the sword, and took all their spoils, and burnt it with fire.
29Partiu dali durante a noite e continuou até chegar à fortaleza.
29And they removed from thence by night, and went till they came to the fortress.
30Pela manhã, levantaram os olhos e viram uma multidão incontável trazendo escadas e máquinas de guerra para tomar a fortaleza e atacando os que estavam dentro.
30And it came to pass that early in the morning, when they lifted up their eyes, behold there were people without number, carrying ladders and engines to take the fortress, and assault them.
31Judas viu que a batalha havia começado e que o clamor da cidade subia ao céu, acompanhado de trombetas e grande estrondo.
31And Judas saw that the fight was begun, and the cry of the battle went up to heaven like a trumpet, and a great cry out of the city:
32Disse aos homens de seu exército: “Lutem hoje por seus irmãos!”
32And he said to his host: Fight ye today for your brethren.
33Então saiu por trás dos inimigos em três companhias. Tocaram as trombetas e clamaram em oração.
33And he came with three companies behind them, and they sounded their trumpets, and cried out in prayer.
34Quando o exército de Timóteo percebeu que era Macabeu, fugiu diante dele. Judas os feriu com grande matança, e cerca de oito mil homens deles caíram naquele dia.
34And the host of Timotheus understood that it was Machabeus, and they fled away before his face: and they made a great slaughter of them: and there fell of them in that day almost eight thousand men.
35Depois desviou-se para Mispá, lutou contra ela, tomou-a, matou todos os homens, tomou seus despojos e incendiou-a.
35And Judas turned aside to Maspha, and assaulted, and took it, and he slew every male thereof, and took the spoils thereof, and burnt it with fire.
36Dali partiu e tomou Casfor, Maqued, Bosor e as outras cidades da terra de Gileade.
36From thence he marched, and took Casbon, and Mageth, and Bosor, and the rest of the cities of Galaad.
37Depois dessas coisas, Timóteo reuniu outro exército e acampou perto de Rafom, do outro lado do riacho.
37But after this Timotheus gathered another army, and camped over against Raphon beyond the torrent.
38Judas enviou homens para espionar o exército. Eles voltaram dizendo: “Todos os gentios ao nosso redor se reuniram com eles, formando um exército extremamente grande.
38And Judas sent men to view the army: and they brought him word, saying: All the nations, that are round about us, are assembled unto him an army exceeding great:
39Contrataram árabes para ajudá-los e estão acampados do outro lado do riacho, prontos para vir contra você em batalha.” Então Judas foi ao encontro deles.
39And they have hired the Arabians to help them, and they have pitched their tents beyond the torrent, ready to come to fight against thee. And Judas went to meet them.
40Timóteo disse aos comandantes de seu exército quando Judas e suas tropas se aproximavam do riacho: “Se ele atravessar primeiro para o nosso lado, não poderemos resistir a ele, pois certamente nos derrotará;
40And Timotheus said to the captains of his army: When Judas and his army come near the torrent of water, if he pass over unto us first, we shall not be able to withstand him: for he will certainly prevail over us.
41mas, se tiver medo e acampar do outro lado do rio, nós atravessaremos contra ele e o derrotaremos.”
41But if he be afraid to pass over, and camp on the other side of the river, we will pass over to them and shall prevail against him.
42Quando Judas chegou perto do riacho, mandou os escribas do povo permanecerem junto à água e lhes ordenou: “Não permitam que homem algum fique no acampamento; todos devem vir para a batalha.”
42Now when Judas came near the torrent of water, he set the scribes of the people by the torrent, and commanded them, saying: Suffer no man to stay behind: but let all come to the battle.
43Então ele atravessou primeiro contra os inimigos, e todo o povo o seguiu. Todos os gentios foram derrotados diante dele, jogaram fora suas armas e fugiram para o templo em Carnaim.
43And he passed over to them first, and all the people after him, and all the heathens were discomfited before them, and they threw away their weapons, and fled to the temple that was in Carnaim.
44Eles tomaram a cidade e queimaram o templo com todos os que estavam dentro. Carnaim foi subjugada, e os inimigos já não puderam resistir diante de Judas.
44And he took that city, and the temple he burnt with fire, with all things that were therein: and Carnaim was subdued, and could not stand against the face of Judas.
45Judas reuniu todos os israelitas que estavam na terra de Gileade, do menor ao maior, com suas esposas, seus filhos e seus bens, formando uma multidão extremamente grande, para irem à terra de Judá.
45And Judas gathered together all the Israelites that were in the land of Galaad, from the least even to the greatest, and their wives, and children, and an army exceeding great, to come into the land of Juda.
46Chegaram até Efrom, uma cidade grande e muito forte que ficava no caminho por onde precisavam passar. Não podiam contorná-la nem pela direita nem pela esquerda; era necessário atravessá-la.
46And they came as far as Ephron: now this was a great city situate in the way, strongly fortified, and there was no means to turn from it on the right hand or on the left, but the way was through the midst of it.
47Os habitantes da cidade fecharam a passagem e bloquearam os portões com pedras.
47And they that were in the city, shut themselves in, and stopped up the gates with stones: and Judas sent to them with peaceable words,
48Judas enviou-lhes palavras de paz: “Passaremos por sua terra para chegar à nossa própria terra, e ninguém lhes fará mal. Apenas passaremos a pé.” Mas eles se recusaram a abrir.
48Saying: Let us pass through your land, to go into our country: and no man shall hurt you: we will only pass through on foot. But they would not open to them.
49Então Judas ordenou que se fizesse uma proclamação no exército, para que cada homem acampasse onde estava.
49Then Judas commanded proclamation to be made in the camp, that they should make an assault every man in the place where he was.
50Os homens do exército acamparam e lutaram contra a cidade durante todo aquele dia e toda aquela noite, e a cidade foi entregue em suas mãos.
50And the men of the army drew near, and he assaulted that city all the day, and all the night, and the city was delivered into his hands:
51Judas matou todos os homens ao fio da espada, arrasou a cidade, tomou seus despojos e atravessou a cidade passando sobre os mortos.
51And they slew every male with the edge of the sword, and he razed the city, and took the spoils thereof, and passed through all the city over them that were slain.
52Atravessaram o Jordão e chegaram à grande planície perto de Bete-Seã.
52Then they passed over the Jordan to the great plain that is over against Bethsan.
53Judas reunia os que ficavam para trás e encorajava o povo durante todo o caminho, até chegar à terra de Judá.
53And Judas gathered together the hindmost, and he exhorted the people all the way through, till they came into the land of Juda.
54Subiram ao monte Sião com alegria e júbilo e ofereceram holocaustos, porque nenhum deles havia sido morto até que voltassem em paz.
54And they went up to mount Sion with joy and gladness, and offered holocausts, because not one of them was slain, till they had returned in peace.
55Nos dias em que Judas e Jônatas estavam na terra de Gileade, e Simão, seu irmão, na Galileia diante de Ptolemaida,
55Now in the days that Judas and Jonathan were in the land of Galaad, and Simon his brother in Galilee before Ptolemais,
56José, filho de Zacarias, e Azarias, comandantes do exército, ouviram falar dos feitos e das batalhas que eles haviam realizado.
56Joseph the son of Zacharias, and Azarias captain of the soldiers, heard of the good success, and the battles that were fought.
57Disseram: “Também nós conquistaremos um nome. Vamos lutar contra os gentios que estão ao nosso redor.”
57And he said: Let us also get us a name, and let us go fight against the Gentiles that are round about us.
58Então deram ordens aos homens do exército que estava com eles e marcharam em direção a Jâmnia.
58And he gave charge to them that were in his army, and they went towards Jamnia.
59Górgias e seus homens saíram da cidade para enfrentá-los em batalha.
59And Gorgias and his men went out of the city, to give them battle.
60José e Azarias foram postos em fuga e perseguidos até as fronteiras da Judeia. Cerca de dois mil homens de Israel caíram naquele dia.
60And Joseph and Azarias were put to flight, and were pursued unto the borders of Judea: and there fell, on that day, of the people of Israel about two thousand men, and there was a great overthrow of the people:
61Houve grande derrota entre o povo, porque eles não deram ouvidos a Judas e seus irmãos, pensando realizar algum grande feito.
61Because they did not hearken to Judas, and his brethren, thinking that they should do manfully.
62Mas não pertenciam à família daqueles homens por cujas mãos foi dada libertação a Israel.
62But they were not of the seed of those men by whom salvation was brought to Israel.
63Judas e seus irmãos foram grandemente glorificados diante de todo Israel e de todos os gentios, em todos os lugares onde seu nome era ouvido.
63And the men of Juda were magnified exceedingly in the sight of all Israel, and of all the nations where their name was heard.
64As pessoas se reuniam ao redor deles, aclamando-os.
64And people assembled to them with joyful acclamations.
65Judas e seus irmãos saíram e lutaram contra os filhos de Esaú na terra ao sul. Ele atacou Hebrom e suas aldeias, derrubou suas fortalezas e queimou as torres ao redor.
65Then Judas and his brethren went forth and attacked the children of Esau, in the land toward the south, and he took Chebron, and her towns: and he burnt the walls thereof and the towers all round it.
66Marchou para entrar na terra dos filisteus e atravessou Samaria.
66And he removed his camp to go into the land of the aliens, and he went through Samaria.
67Naquele dia, certos sacerdotes, desejando realizar grandes feitos, foram mortos em batalha quando saíram imprudentemente para lutar.
67In that day some priests fell in battle, while desiring to do manfully they went out unadvisedly to fight.
68Judas, porém, voltou-se para Azoto, na terra dos filisteus, derrubou seus altares, queimou as imagens esculpidas de seus deuses, tomou os despojos de suas cidades e voltou para a terra de Judá.
68And Judas turned to Azotus into the land of the strangers, and he threw down their altars, and he burnt the statues of their gods with fire: and he took the spoils of the cities, and returned into the land of Juda.
