1 Macabeus 8
Bíblia Portuguesa Mundial (Brazilian Portuguese)
King James Version with Apocrypha
1Judas ouviu falar da fama dos romanos: que eram homens valentes, que recebiam bem todos os que se uniam a eles e faziam amizade com todos os que os procuravam,
1Now Judas had heard of the Romans, that they were mighty and valiant men, and such as would lovingly accept all that joined themselves unto them, and make a league of amity with all that came unto them;
2e que eram homens valentes. Contaram-lhe sobre suas guerras e seus grandes feitos entre os gauleses, como os haviam conquistado e obrigado a pagar tributo;
2And that they were men of great valour. It was told him also of their wars and noble acts which they had done among the Galatians, and how they had conquered them, and brought them under tribute;
3sobre o que haviam feito na terra da Espanha para tomar posse das minas de prata e ouro que havia ali;
3And what they had done in the country of Spain, for the winning of the mines of the silver and gold which is there;
4e como, por sua estratégia e perseverança, haviam conquistado toda aquela região, embora fosse muito distante deles, e também os reis que vinham contra eles desde os confins da terra, até derrotá-los e feri-los severamente; os demais lhes pagavam tributo ano após ano.
4And that by their policy and patience they had conquered all the place, though it were very far from them; and the kings also that came against them from the uttermost part of the earth, till they had discomfited them, and given them a great overthrow, so that the rest did give them tribute every year:
5Filipe e Perseu, rei de Quitim, e todos os que se levantaram contra eles, foram derrotados em batalha e conquistados.
5Beside this, how they had discomfited in battle Philip, and Perseus, king of the Citims, with others that lifted up themselves against them, and had overcome them:
6Também Antíoco, o grande rei da Ásia, veio lutar contra eles com cento e vinte elefantes, cavalaria, carros e um exército extremamente grande, e foi derrotado.
6How also Antiochus the great king of Asia, that came against them in battle, having an hundred and twenty elephants, with horsemen, and chariots, and a very great army, was discomfited by them;
7Eles o capturaram vivo e decretaram que ele e os reis que viessem depois dele lhes pagassem grande tributo, entregassem reféns e cedessem parte das melhores regiões de seu território:
7And how they took him alive, and covenanted that he and such as reigned after him should pay a great tribute, and give hostages, and that which was agreed upon,
8as terras da Índia, da Média e da Lídia. Tiraram-nas dele e as deram ao rei Eumenes.
8And the country of India, and Media and Lydia and of the goodliest countries, which they took of him, and gave to king Eumenes:
9Judas ouviu também como os gregos haviam planejado vir destruí-los,
9Moreover how the Grecians had determined to come and destroy them;
10mas os romanos souberam disso e enviaram contra eles um comandante, que lutou contra eles. Muitos dos gregos caíram feridos de morte; os romanos levaram cativas suas esposas e seus filhos, saquearam-nos, conquistaram sua terra, derrubaram suas fortalezas e os reduziram à servidão até hoje.
10And that they, having knowledge thereof sent against them a certain captain, and fighting with them slew many of them, and carried away captives their wives and their children, and spoiled them, and took possession of their lands, and pulled down their strong holds, and brought them to be their servants unto this day:
11Os demais reinos e ilhas que alguma vez se levantaram contra eles, eles os destruíram e fizeram seus servos.
11It was told him besides, how they destroyed and brought under their dominion all other kingdoms and isles that at any time resisted them;
12Mas mantiveram amizade com seus amigos e com os que confiavam neles. Conquistaram reinos próximos e distantes, e todos os que ouviam falar de sua fama tinham medo deles.
12But with their friends and such as relied upon them they kept amity: and that they had conquered kingdoms both far and nigh, insomuch as all that heard of their name were afraid of them:
13A quem desejam ajudar e fazer rei, eles fazem rei; e a quem desejam, depõem. Foram extremamente exaltados.
13Also that, whom they would help to a kingdom, those reign; and whom again they would, they displace: finally, that they were greatly exalted:
14Apesar de tudo isso, nenhum deles jamais colocou uma coroa sobre a cabeça nem vestiu púrpura para exibir grandeza.
14Yet for all this none of them wore a crown or was clothed in purple, to be magnified thereby:
15Judas ouviu que haviam construído para si uma casa do senado e que, dia após dia, trezentos e vinte homens se reuniam em conselho, deliberando continuamente em favor do povo, para que fosse bem governado;
15Moreover how they had made for themselves a senate house, wherein three hundred and twenty men sat in council daily, consulting alway for the people, to the end they might be well ordered:
16e que entregavam seu governo a um homem a cada ano, para governá-los e administrar todo o território, e todos obedeciam a esse homem, sem inveja nem rivalidade entre eles.
16And that they committed their government to one man every year, who ruled over all their country, and that all were obedient to that one, and that there was neither envy nor emmulation among them.
17Judas escolheu Eupolemo, filho de João, filho de Acos, e Jasão, filho de Eleazar, e os enviou a Roma para estabelecer amizade e aliança com eles,
17In consideration of these things, Judas chose Eupolemus the son of John, the son of Accos, and Jason the son of Eleazar, and sent them to Rome, to make a league of amity and confederacy with them,
18e para libertar Israel do jugo, pois viam que o reino dos gregos mantinha Israel em servidão.
18And to intreat them that they would take the yoke from them; for they saw that the kingdom of the Grecians did oppress Israel with servitude.
19Eles viajaram até Roma, uma jornada muito longa, entraram na casa do senado e disseram:
19They went therefore to Rome, which was a very great journey, and came into the senate, where they spake and said.
20“Judas, também chamado Macabeu, seus irmãos e o povo dos judeus nos enviaram a vocês para fazer uma aliança e estabelecer paz, e para sermos registrados entre seus aliados e amigos.”
20Judas Maccabeus with his brethren, and the people of the Jews, have sent us unto you, to make a confederacy and peace with you, and that we might be registered your confederates and friends.
21A proposta lhes agradou.
21So that matter pleased the Romans well.
22Esta é a cópia do documento que escreveram em placas de bronze e enviaram a Jerusalém para que permanecesse ali como memorial da paz e da aliança:
22And this is the copy of the epistle which the senate wrote back again in tables of brass, and sent to Jerusalem, that there they might have by them a memorial of peace and confederacy:
23“Que haja prosperidade para os romanos e para a nação dos judeus, por mar e por terra, para sempre. Que a espada e o inimigo estejam longe deles.
23Good success be to the Romans, and to the people of the Jews, by sea and by land for ever: the sword also and enemy be far from them,
24Se primeiro vier guerra contra Roma ou contra algum de seus aliados em todo o seu domínio,
24If there come first any war upon the Romans or any of their confederates throughout all their dominion,
25a nação dos judeus os ajudará como aliada, conforme a ocasião exigir, de todo o coração.
25The people of the Jews shall help them, as the time shall be appointed, with all their heart:
26Aos que fizerem guerra contra eles, os judeus não darão mantimentos, alimento, armas, dinheiro nem navios, conforme pareceu bem a Roma, e guardarão essas condições sem receber nada em troca.
26Neither shall they give any thing unto them that make war upon them, or aid them with victuals, weapons, money, or ships, as it hath seemed good unto the Romans; but they shall keep their covenants without taking any thing therefore.
27Da mesma forma, se primeiro vier guerra contra a nação dos judeus, os romanos os ajudarão de boa vontade como aliados, conforme a ocasião exigir.
27In the same manner also, if war come first upon the nation of the Jews, the Romans shall help them with all their heart, according as the time shall be appointed them:
28Aos que lutarem contra eles não serão dados alimento, armas, dinheiro nem navios, conforme pareceu bem a Roma. Essas condições serão guardadas sem engano.
28Neither shall victuals be given to them that take part against them, or weapons, or money, or ships, as it hath seemed good to the Romans; but they shall keep their covenants, and that without deceit.
29Conforme esses termos, os romanos fizeram aliança com o povo judeu.
29According to these articles did the Romans make a covenant with the people of the Jews.
30Se, posteriormente, uma parte ou a outra decidir acrescentar ou retirar alguma coisa, poderá fazê-lo conforme desejar, e tudo o que acrescentarem ou retirarem será válido.
30Howbeit if hereafter the one party or the other shall think to meet to add or diminish any thing, they may do it at their pleasures, and whatsoever they shall add or take away shall be ratified.
31Quanto aos males que o rei Demétrio está fazendo contra eles, escrevemos-lhe: ‘Por que tornou pesado o seu jugo sobre nossos amigos e aliados, os judeus?
31And as touching the evils that Demetrius doeth to the Jews, we have written unto him, saying, Wherefore thou made thy yoke heavy upon our friends and confederates the Jews?
32Se eles voltarem a apresentar queixa contra você, faremos justiça em favor deles e lutaremos contra você por mar e por terra.’”
32If therefore they complain any more against thee, we will do them justice, and fight with thee by sea and by land.
