1 Macabeus 7
Bíblia Portuguesa Mundial (Brazilian Portuguese)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1No ano cento e cinquenta e um, Demétrio, filho de Seleuco, saiu de Roma, desembarcou com poucos homens numa cidade à beira-mar e começou a reinar ali.
1In the hundred and fifty-first year Demetrius the son of Seleucus departed from the city of Rome, and came up with a few men into a city of the sea coast, and reigned there.
2Quando estava para entrar no palácio real de seus antepassados, o exército prendeu Antíoco e Lísias para levá-los até ele.
2And it came to pass, as he entered into the house of the kingdom of his fathers, that the army seized upon Antiochus, and Lysias, to bring them unto him.
3Demétrio soube disso e disse: “Não me mostrem o rosto deles!”
3And when he knew it, he said: Let me not see their face.
4Então o exército os matou, e Demétrio se assentou no trono de seu reino.
4So the army slew them. And Demetrius sat upon the throne of his kingdom:
5Todos os homens sem Lei e ímpios de Israel foram até ele. Álcimo, que desejava ser sumo sacerdote, era seu líder.
5And there came to him the wicked and ungodly men of Israel: And Alcimus was at the head of them, who desired to be made high priest.
6Eles acusaram o povo diante do rei, dizendo: “Judas e seus irmãos destruíram todos os seus amigos e nos expulsaram de nossa própria terra.
6And they accused the people to the king, saying: Judas and his brethren have destroyed all thy friends, and he hath driven us out of our land.
7Portanto, envie agora um homem em quem confie, para que vá e veja toda a destruição que ele trouxe sobre nós e sobre o território do rei, e como castigou a eles e a todos os que os ajudaram.”
7Now therefore send some man whom thou trustest, and let him go, and see all the havock he hath made amongst us, and in the king’s lands: and let him punish all his friends and their helpers.
8O rei escolheu Báquides, um dos amigos do rei, que governava a região além do rio, homem importante no reino e fiel ao rei.
8Then the king chose Bacchides, one of his friends that ruled beyond the great river in the kingdom, and was faithful to the king: and he sent him,
9Enviou-o juntamente com o ímpio Álcimo, a quem nomeou sumo sacerdote, e ordenou-lhe que se vingasse dos filhos de Israel.
9To see the havock that Judas had made: and the wicked Alcimus he made high priest, and commanded him to take revenge upon the children of Israel.
10Eles partiram e chegaram com um grande exército à terra de Judá. Báquides enviou mensageiros a Judas e seus irmãos com palavras enganosas de paz.
10And they arose, and came with a great army into the land of Juda: and they sent messengers, and spoke to Judas and his brethren with peaceable words deceitfully.
11Eles não deram atenção às palavras, pois viram que tinham vindo com um grande exército.
11But they gave no heed to their words: for they saw that they were come with a great army.
12Um grupo de escribas reuniu-se com Álcimo e Báquides para procurar condições justas.
12Then there assembled to Alcimus and Bacchides a company of the scribes to require things that are just:
13Os assideus foram os primeiros entre os filhos de Israel a procurar paz com eles,
13And first the Assideans that were among the children of Israel, and they sought peace of them.
14pois diziam: “Um sacerdote da descendência de Arão veio com o exército; ele não nos fará mal.”
14For they said: One that is a priest of the seed of Aaron is come, he will not deceive us.
15Álcimo lhes falou palavras de paz e jurou: “Não procuraremos fazer mal a vocês nem a seus amigos.”
15And he spoke to them peaceably: and he swore to them, saying: We will do you no harm nor your friends.
16Eles confiaram nele. Então ele prendeu sessenta deles e os matou num só dia, conforme a palavra que está escrita:
16And they believed him. And he took threescore of them, and slew them in one day, according to the word that is written:
17A carne de teus santos e seu sangue foram derramados ao redor de Jerusalém, e não havia quem os sepultasse.
17The flesh of thy saints, and the blood of them they have shed round about Jerusalem, and there was none to bury them.
18O temor e o pavor deles caíram sobre todo o povo, pois diziam: “Não há verdade nem justiça neles, pois quebraram a aliança e o juramento que fizeram.”
18Then fear and trembling fell upon all the people: for they said: There is no truth, nor justice among them: for they have broken the covenant, and the oath which they made.
19Báquides retirou-se de Jerusalém e acampou em Bezete. Mandou prender muitos dos desertores que estavam com ele e alguns do povo, matou-os e lançou-os numa grande cisterna.
19And Bacchides removed the camp from Jerusalem, and pitched in Bethzecha: and he sent, and took many of them that were fled away from him, and some of the people he killed, and threw them into a great pit.
20Colocou Álcimo encarregado da região e deixou com ele uma força para ajudá-lo. Depois Báquides voltou para o rei.
20Then he committed the country to Alcimus, and left with him troops to help him. So Bacchides went away to the king:
21Álcimo lutava para manter seu sumo sacerdócio.
21But Alcimus did what he could to maintain his chief priesthood.
22Todos os que perturbavam seu povo juntaram-se a ele, tomaram o controle da terra de Judá e causaram grande dano em Israel.
22And they that disturbed the people resorted to him, and they got the land of Juda into their power, and did much hurt in Israel.
23Judas viu todo o mal que Álcimo e seus companheiros haviam feito entre os filhos de Israel, ainda mais do que os gentios.
23And Judas saw all the evils that Alcimus, and they that were with him, did to the children of Israel, much more than the Gentiles.
24Percorreu todas as fronteiras da Judeia e se vingou dos homens que haviam desertado dele, impedindo-os de circular pela região.
24And he went out into all the coasts of Juda round about, and took vengeance upon the men that had revolted, and they ceased to go forth any more into the country.
25Quando Álcimo viu que Judas e seus companheiros haviam se fortalecido e percebeu que não podia resistir a eles, voltou ao rei e apresentou contra eles acusações perversas.
25And Alcimus saw that Judas, and they that were with him prevailed: and he knew that he could not stand against them, and he went back to the king, and accused them of many crimes.
26Então o rei enviou Nicanor, um de seus príncipes honrados, homem que odiava Israel e era seu inimigo, e ordenou-lhe que destruísse o povo.
26And the king sent Nicanor one of his principal lords, who was a great enemy to Israel: and he commanded him to destroy the people.
27Nicanor chegou a Jerusalém com um grande exército. Enviou a Judas e seus irmãos palavras enganosas de paz, dizendo:
27And Nicanor came to Jerusalem with a great army, and he sent to Judas and to his brethren deceitfully with friendly words,
28“Não haja batalha entre mim e vocês. Irei com poucos homens para encontrá-los em paz.”
28Saying: Let there be no fighting between me and you: I will come with a few men to see your faces with peace.
29Ele foi até Judas, e eles se saudaram pacificamente. Os inimigos, porém, estavam preparados para prender Judas à força.
29And he came to Judas, and they saluted one another peaceably: and the enemies were prepared to take away Judas by force.
30Judas descobriu que Nicanor havia vindo até ele com engano. Ficou com muito medo dele e não quis mais encontrar-se com ele.
30And the thing was known to Judas that he was come to him with deceit: and he was much afraid of him, and would not see his face any more.
31Nicanor percebeu que seu plano havia sido descoberto e saiu para enfrentar Judas em batalha perto de Cafarsalama.
31And Nicanor knew that his counsel was discovered: and he went out to fight against Judas near Capharsalama.
32Cerca de quinhentos homens do exército de Nicanor caíram, e os restantes fugiram para a Cidade de Davi.
32And there fell of Nicanor’s army almost five thousand men, and they fled into the city of David.
33Depois dessas coisas, Nicanor subiu ao monte Sião. Alguns dos sacerdotes saíram do santuário, juntamente com alguns dos anciãos do povo, para saudá-lo pacificamente e mostrar-lhe o holocausto que estava sendo oferecido pelo rei.
33And after this Nicanor went up into mount Sion: and some of the priests and the people came out to salute him peaceably, and to shew him the holocausts that were offered for the king.
34Ele zombou deles, riu deles, tratou-os de maneira vergonhosa, falou arrogantemente
34But he mocked them and despised them, and abused them: and he spoke proudly,
35e jurou furiosamente: “Se Judas e seu exército não forem entregues agora em minhas mãos, quando eu voltar em segurança queimarei esta casa!” E saiu tomado de grande ira.
35And swore in anger, saying: Unless Judas and his army be delivered into my hands, as soon as ever I return in peace, I will burn this house. And he went out in a great rage.
36Os sacerdotes entraram, ficaram diante do altar e do templo, choraram e disseram:
36And the priests went in, and stood before the face of the altar and the temple: and weeping, they said:
37“Tu escolheste esta casa para ser chamada pelo teu nome, como casa de oração e súplica para teu povo.
37Thou, O Lord, hast chosen this house for thy name to be called upon therein, that it might be a house of prayer and supplication for thy people.
38Vinga-te deste homem e de seu exército e faze-os cair pela espada. Lembra-te de suas blasfêmias e não permitas que vivam por mais tempo.”
38Be avenged of this man, and his army, and let them fall by the sword: remember their blasphemies, and suffer them not to continue any longer.
39Nicanor saiu de Jerusalém e acampou em Bet-Horom, onde o exército sírio se encontrou com ele.
39Then Nicanor went out from Jerusalem, and encamped near to Bethoron: and an army of Syria joined him.
40Judas acampou em Adasa com três mil homens. Judas orou:
40But Judas pitched in Adarsa with three thousand men: and Judas prayed, and said:
41“Quando os enviados do rei blasfemaram, teu anjo saiu e matou entre eles cento e oitenta e cinco mil.
41O Lord, when they that were sent by king Sennacherib blasphemed thee, an angel went out, and slew of them a hundred and eighty-five thousand:
42Assim também, esmaga hoje este exército diante de nós, para que todos os demais saibam que ele falou perversamente contra teu santuário. Julga-o conforme sua maldade.”
42Even so destroy this army in our sight today, and let the rest know that he hath spoken ill against thy sanctuary: and judge thou him according to his wickedness.
43No décimo terceiro dia do mês de Adar, os exércitos se enfrentaram. O exército de Nicanor foi derrotado, e ele foi o primeiro a cair na batalha.
43And the armies joined battle on the thirteenth day of the month Adar: and the army of Nicanor was defeated, and he himself was first slain in the battle.
44Quando seu exército viu que Nicanor havia caído, jogou fora as armas e fugiu.
44And when his army saw that Nicanor was slain, they threw away their weapons, and fled:
45Eles os perseguiram durante um dia inteiro desde Adasa até chegar a Gazara, e tocaram atrás deles o sinal de alarme com as trombetas.
45And they pursued after them one day’s journey from Adazer, even till ye come to Gazara, and they sounded the trumpets after them with signals.
46Homens saíram de todas as aldeias ao redor da Judeia e os cercaram. Os fugitivos foram empurrados de volta uns contra os outros, e todos caíram pela espada; não restou nenhum.
46And they went forth out of all the towns of Judea round about, and they pushed them with the horns, and they turned again to them, and they were all slain with the sword, and there was not left of them so much as one.
47Os judeus tomaram os despojos e a pilhagem, cortaram a cabeça de Nicanor e sua mão direita, que ele havia estendido com tanta arrogância, e as levaram e penduraram perto de Jerusalém.
47And they took the spoils of them for a booty, and they cut off Nicanor’s head, and his right hand, which he had proudly stretched out, and they brought it, and hung it up over against Jerusalem.
48O povo ficou extremamente alegre e celebrou aquele dia como dia de grande alegria.
48And the people rejoiced exceedingly, and they spent that day with great joy.
49Determinaram que esse dia fosse celebrado todos os anos, no décimo terceiro dia de Adar.
49And he ordained that this day should be kept every year, being the thirteenth of the month of Adar.
50Assim a terra de Judá teve descanso por alguns dias.
50And the land of Juda was quiet for a short time.
