1 Macabeus 6
Bíblia Portuguesa Mundial (Brazilian Portuguese)
King James Version with Apocrypha
1O rei Antíoco percorria as regiões do norte e ouviu dizer que em Elimaida, na Pérsia, havia uma cidade famosa por suas riquezas, sua prata e seu ouro,
1About that time king Antiochus travelling through the high countries heard say, that Elymais in the country of Persia was a city greatly renowned for riches, silver, and gold;
2e que o templo que havia ali era extremamente rico, contendo escudos de ouro, couraças e armas que Alexandre, filho de Filipe, o rei macedônio que primeiro reinou entre os gregos, havia deixado ali.
2And that there was in it a very rich temple, wherein were coverings of gold, and breastplates, and shields, which Alexander, son of Philip, the Macedonian king, who reigned first among the Grecians, had left there.
3Então ele foi e tentou tomar a cidade e saqueá-la, mas não conseguiu, porque seu plano se tornou conhecido pelos habitantes da cidade.
3Wherefore he came and sought to take the city, and to spoil it; but he was not able, because they of the city, having had warning thereof,
4Eles se levantaram contra ele em batalha. Ele fugiu e voltou para a Babilônia profundamente decepcionado.
4Rose up against him in battle: so he fled, and departed thence with great heaviness, and returned to Babylon.
5Então alguém chegou à Pérsia trazendo-lhe a notícia de que os exércitos enviados contra a terra de Judá haviam sido postos em fuga,
5Moreover there came one who brought him tidings into Persia, that the armies, which went against the land of Judea, were put to flight:
6e que Lísias, que havia ido primeiro com um poderoso exército, fora derrotado diante deles, enquanto os judeus se haviam fortalecido com armas, tropas e abundantes despojos tomados dos exércitos que haviam destruído;
6And that Lysias, who went forth first with a great power was driven away of the Jews; and that they were made strong by the armour, and power, and store of spoils, which they had gotten of the armies, whom they had destroyed:
7e que eles haviam derrubado a abominação que ele havia construído sobre o altar em Jerusalém, cercado o santuário com altos muros como antes e também fortificado Betsur, sua cidade.
7Also that they had pulled down the abomination, which he had set up upon the altar in Jerusalem, and that they had compassed about the sanctuary with high walls, as before, and his city Bethsura.
8Quando o rei ouviu essas notícias, ficou espantado e profundamente abalado. Deitou-se em sua cama e adoeceu de tristeza, porque as coisas não haviam acontecido como ele esperava.
8Now when the king heard these words, he was astonished and sore moved: whereupon he laid him down upon his bed, and fell sick for grief, because it had not befallen him as he looked for.
9Permaneceu ali muitos dias, pois uma grande tristeza continuava a dominá-lo, e percebeu que morreria.
9And there he continued many days: for his grief was ever more and more, and he made account that he should die.
10Chamou todos os seus amigos e lhes disse: “O sono fugiu de meus olhos, e meu coração desfalece por causa da preocupação.
10Wherefore he called for all his friends, and said unto them, The sleep is gone from mine eyes, and my heart faileth for very care.
11Eu disse em meu coração: ‘A que sofrimento cheguei! Em que grande mar de aflição me encontro agora! Pois eu era bondoso e amado quando estava no poder.’
11And I thought with myself, Into what tribulation am I come, and how great a flood of misery is it, wherein now I am! for I was bountiful and beloved in my power.
12Agora, porém, lembro-me dos males que pratiquei em Jerusalém, de como tomei todos os utensílios de prata e ouro que havia ali e mandei destruir sem motivo os habitantes de Judá.
12But now I remember the evils that I did at Jerusalem, and that I took all the vessels of gold and silver that were therein, and sent to destroy the inhabitants of Judea without a cause.
13Percebo que foi por causa dessas coisas que estes males vieram sobre mim. Eis que estou morrendo de grande tristeza numa terra estrangeira.”
13I perceive therefore that for this cause these troubles are come upon me, and, behold, I perish through great grief in a strange land.
14Então chamou Filipe, um de seus amigos, e o colocou sobre todo o seu reino.
14Then called he for Philip, one of his friends, who he made ruler over all his realm,
15Entregou-lhe a coroa, o manto e o anel de sinete, para que cuidasse de Antíoco, seu filho, o criasse e o preparasse para ser rei.
15And gave him the crown, and his robe, and his signet, to the end he should bring up his son Antiochus, and nourish him up for the kingdom.
16O rei Antíoco morreu ali no ano cento e quarenta e nove.
16So king Antiochus died there in the hundred forty and ninth year.
17Quando Lísias soube que o rei havia morrido, estabeleceu como rei Antíoco, seu filho, a quem criara desde pequeno, e deu-lhe o nome de Eupátor.
17Now when Lysias knew that the king was dead, he set up Antiochus his son, whom he had brought up being young, to reign in his stead, and his name he called Eupator.
18Os que estavam na cidadela continuavam cercando Israel ao redor do santuário, procurando sempre fazer-lhes mal e fortalecer os gentios.
18About this time they that were in the tower shut up the Israelites round about the sanctuary, and sought always their hurt, and the strengthening of the heathen.
19Judas decidiu destruí-los e convocou todo o povo para sitiá-los.
19Wherefore Judas, purposing to destroy them, called all the people together to besiege them.
20Eles se reuniram e os sitiaram no ano cento e cinquenta. Judas construiu rampas de ataque e máquinas de guerra.
20So they came together, and besieged them in the hundred and fiftieth year, and he made mounts for shot against them, and other engines.
21Alguns dos que estavam cercados conseguiram sair, e alguns dos ímpios de Israel se juntaram a eles.
21Howbeit certain of them that were besieged got forth, unto whom some ungodly men of Israel joined themselves:
22Foram ao rei e disseram: “Até quando deixará de executar o julgamento e de vingar nossos irmãos?
22And they went unto the king, and said, How long will it be ere thou execute judgment, and avenge our brethren?
23Nós estávamos dispostos a servir seu pai, viver conforme suas palavras e obedecer às suas ordens.
23We have been willing to serve thy father, and to do as he would have us, and to obey his commandments;
24Por causa disso, os filhos de nosso povo sitiaram a cidadela e se afastaram de nós. Todos os que conseguiram capturar dentre nós, mataram, e saquearam nossas propriedades.
24For which cause they of our nation besiege the tower, and are alienated from us: moreover as many of us as they could light on they slew, and spoiled our inheritance.
25Eles não estenderam a mão somente contra nós, mas também contra todas as suas fronteiras.
25Neither have they stretched out their hand against us only, but also against their borders.
26Eis que hoje estão acampados contra a cidadela em Jerusalém para tomá-la. Também fortificaram o santuário e Betsur.
26And, behold, this day are they besieging the tower at Jerusalem, to take it: the sanctuary also and Bethsura have they fortified.
27Se você não os impedir rapidamente, farão coisas ainda maiores do que estas, e você não conseguirá controlá-los.”
27Wherefore if thou dost not prevent them quickly, they will do the greater things than these, neither shalt thou be able to rule them.
28Quando o rei ouviu isso, ficou irado e reuniu todos os seus amigos, os comandantes de seu exército e os responsáveis pela cavalaria.
28Now when the king heard this, he was angry, and gathered together all his friends, and the captains of his army, and those that had charge of the horse.
29Grupos de mercenários vieram até ele de outros reinos e das ilhas do mar.
29There came also unto him from other kingdoms, and from isles of the sea, bands of hired soldiers.
30Suas forças totalizavam cem mil soldados de infantaria, vinte mil cavaleiros e trinta e dois elefantes treinados para a guerra.
30So that the number of his army was an hundred thousand footmen, and twenty thousand horsemen, and two and thirty elephants exercised in battle.
31Eles atravessaram a Idumeia, acamparam contra Betsur e lutaram contra ela durante muitos dias, construindo máquinas de guerra. Os judeus saíam, queimavam as máquinas e lutavam corajosamente.
31These went through Idumea, and pitched against Bethsura, which they assaulted many days, making engines of war; but they of Bethsura came out, and burned them with fire, and fought valiantly.
32Judas deixou a cidadela e acampou em Bete-Zacarias, perto do acampamento do rei.
32Upon this Judas removed from the tower, and pitched in Bathzacharias, over against the king’s camp.
33O rei levantou-se cedo pela manhã e fez seu exército marchar rapidamente pela estrada de Bete-Zacarias. Suas tropas se prepararam para a batalha e tocaram as trombetas.
33Then the king rising very early marched fiercely with his host toward Bathzacharias, where his armies made them ready to battle, and sounded the trumpets.
34Deram aos elefantes suco de uvas e de amoras para estimulá-los para a batalha.
34And to the end they might provoke the elephants to fight, they shewed them the blood of grapes and mulberries.
35Distribuíram os animais entre as falanges. Ao lado de cada elefante colocaram mil homens armados com cotas de malha e capacetes de bronze na cabeça, e quinhentos cavaleiros escolhidos foram designados para cada elefante.
35Moreover they divided the beasts among the armies, and for every elephant they appointed a thousand men, armed with coats of mail, and with helmets of brass on their heads; and beside this, for every beast were ordained five hundred horsemen of the best.
36Esses cavaleiros estavam preparados de antemão onde quer que estivesse o elefante; para onde o elefante fosse, eles iam com ele e não o abandonavam.
36These were ready at every occasion: wheresoever the beast was, and whithersoever the beast went, they went also, neither departed they from him.
37Sobre cada elefante havia uma forte torre de madeira coberta, presa ao animal por arreios resistentes. Em cada torre estavam quatro homens valentes que lutavam dali, além do condutor indiano.
37And upon the beasts were there strong towers of wood, which covered every one of them, and were girt fast unto them with devices: there were also upon every one two and thirty strong men, that fought upon them, beside the Indian that ruled him.
38O restante da cavalaria foi colocado de um lado e do outro, nas duas alas do exército, causando terror ao inimigo e protegido pelas falanges.
38As for the remnant of the horsemen, they set them on this side and that side at the two parts of the host giving them signs what to do, and being harnessed all over amidst the ranks.
39Quando o sol brilhou sobre os escudos de ouro e bronze, as montanhas resplandeceram e brilharam como tochas acesas.
39Now when the sun shone upon the shields of gold and brass, the mountains glistered therewith, and shined like lamps of fire.
40Parte do exército do rei se estendeu sobre as colinas mais altas e parte sobre o terreno mais baixo, avançando com firmeza e em ordem.
40So part of the king’s army being spread upon the high mountains, and part on the valleys below, they marched on safely and in order.
41Todos os que ouviam o barulho da multidão, o som de sua marcha e o estrondo das armas tremiam, pois o exército era extremamente grande e poderoso.
41Wherefore all that heard the noise of their multitude, and the marching of the company, and the rattling of the harness, were moved: for the army was very great and mighty.
42Judas e seu exército se aproximaram para a batalha, e seiscentos homens do exército do rei caíram.
42Then Judas and his host drew near, and entered into battle, and there were slain of the king’s army six hundred men.
43Eleazar, chamado Avarã, viu um dos animais protegido com couraças reais. Ele era mais alto do que todos os outros animais, e parecia que o rei estava montado sobre ele.
43Eleazar also, surnamed Savaran, perceiving that one of the beasts, armed with royal harness, was higher than all the rest, and supposing that the king was upon him,
44Ele entregou sua vida para salvar seu povo e conquistar para si um nome eterno.
44Put himself in jeopardy, to the end he might deliver his people, and get him a perpetual name:
45Correu corajosamente contra o elefante, entrando no meio da falange, e matava à direita e à esquerda, enquanto os inimigos se afastavam dele por ambos os lados.
45Wherefore he ran upon him courageously through the midst of the battle, slaying on the right hand and on the left, so that they were divided from him on both sides.
46Ele se colocou debaixo do elefante, golpeou-o por baixo e o matou. O elefante caiu sobre ele, e Eleazar morreu ali.
46Which done, he crept under the elephant, and thrust him under, and slew him: whereupon the elephant fell down upon him, and there he died.
47Quando viram a força do reino e o ataque feroz do exército, recuaram diante deles.
47Howbeit the rest of the Jews seeing the strength of the king, and the violence of his forces, turned away from them.
48Os soldados do exército do rei subiram contra Jerusalém para enfrentá-los, e o rei acampou em direção à Judeia e ao monte Sião.
48Then the king’s army went up to Jerusalem to meet them, and the king pitched his tents against Judea, and against mount Sion.
49Fez paz com o povo de Betsur. Eles saíram da cidade porque não tinham alimento para suportar o cerco, pois era um ano sabático para a terra.
49But with them that were in Bethsura he made peace: for they came out of the city, because they had no victuals there to endure the siege, it being a year of rest to the land.
50O rei tomou Betsur e colocou ali uma guarnição para guardá-la.
50So the king took Bethsura, and set a garrison there to keep it.
51Acampou contra o santuário durante muitos dias e colocou ali rampas, máquinas de guerra, equipamentos para lançar fogo e pedras, armas para lançar dardos e fundas.
51As for the sanctuary, he besieged it many days: and set there artillery with engines and instruments to cast fire and stones, and pieces to cast darts and slings.
52Os judeus também fizeram máquinas de guerra para enfrentar as máquinas deles e lutaram durante muitos dias.
52Whereupon they also made engines against their engines, and held them battle a long season.
53Mas não havia alimento no santuário, porque era o sétimo ano, e os que haviam fugido dos gentios para buscar segurança na Judeia tinham consumido o restante das provisões.
53Yet at the last, their vessels being without victuals, (for that it was the seventh year, and they in Judea that were delivered from the Gentiles, had eaten up the residue of the store;)
54Restaram poucas pessoas no santuário, porque a fome prevaleceu contra elas, e se dispersaram, cada um para seu próprio lugar.
54There were but a few left in the sanctuary, because the famine did so prevail against them, that they were fain to disperse themselves, every man to his own place.
55Lísias soube que Filipe, a quem o rei Antíoco, ainda em vida, havia encarregado de criar seu filho Antíoco para ser rei,
55At that time Lysias heard say, that Philip, whom Antiochus the king, whiles he lived, had appointed to bring up his son Antiochus, that he might be king,
56havia voltado da Pérsia e da Média, acompanhado das tropas que tinham ido com o rei, e procurava tomar o controle do governo.
56Was returned out of Persia and Media, and the king’s host also that went with him, and that he sought to take unto him the ruling of the affairs.
57Lísias se apressou e deu ordem de partir. Disse ao rei, aos comandantes do exército e aos homens: “Estamos ficando mais fracos a cada dia, nossas provisões são poucas, o lugar que sitiamos é forte, e os assuntos do reino exigem nossa atenção.
57Wherefore he went in all haste, and said to the king and the captains of the host and the company, We decay daily, and our victuals are but small, and the place we lay siege unto is strong, and the affairs of the kingdom lie upon us:
58Agora, portanto, façamos um acordo com esses homens e estabeleçamos paz com eles e com toda a sua nação.
58Now therefore let us be friends with these men, and make peace with them, and with all their nation;
59Façamos uma aliança que lhes permita viver segundo suas próprias leis, como antes; pois foi por causa das leis que abolimos que eles ficaram irados e fizeram todas essas coisas.”
59And covenant with them, that they shall live after their laws, as they did before: for they are therefore displeased, and have done all these things, because we abolished their laws.
60A proposta agradou ao rei e aos príncipes. Ele lhes enviou uma oferta de paz, e eles a aceitaram.
60So the king and the princes were content: wherefore he sent unto them to make peace; and they accepted thereof.
61O rei e os príncipes juraram diante deles. Sob essas condições, os judeus saíram da fortaleza.
61Also the king and the princes made an oath unto them: whereupon they went out of the strong hold.
62Então o rei entrou no monte Sião. Viu a força do lugar, quebrou o juramento que havia feito e ordenou que derrubassem todo o muro ao redor.
62Then the king entered into mount Sion; but when he saw the strength of the place, he broke his oath that he had made, and gave commandment to pull down the wall round about.
63Depois partiu apressadamente e voltou para Antioquia, onde encontrou Filipe dominando a cidade. Lutou contra ele e tomou a cidade pela força.
63Afterward departed he in all haste, and returned unto Antiochia, where he found Philip to be master of the city: so he fought against him, and took the city by force.
