1 Macabeus 9
Bíblia Portuguesa Mundial (Brazilian Portuguese)
King James Version with Apocrypha
1Demétrio soube que Nicanor havia caído com suas tropas na batalha e enviou Báquides e Álcimo novamente à terra de Judá, pela segunda vez, juntamente com a ala direita de seu exército.
1Furthermore, when Demetrius heard the Nicanor and his host were slain in battle, he sent Bacchides and Alcimus into the land of Judea the second time, and with them the chief strength of his host:
2Eles seguiram pela estrada que leva a Gilgal, acamparam contra Mesalot, em Arbela, tomaram-na e mataram muitas pessoas.
2Who went forth by the way that leadeth to Galgala, and pitched their tents before Masaloth, which is in Arbela, and after they had won it, they slew much people.
3No primeiro mês do ano cento e cinquenta e dois, acamparam contra Jerusalém.
3Also the first month of the hundred fifty and second year they encamped before Jerusalem:
4Depois partiram e foram a Bereia com vinte mil soldados de infantaria e dois mil cavaleiros.
4From whence they removed, and went to Berea, with twenty thousand footmen and two thousand horsemen.
5Judas estava acampado em Elasa com três mil homens escolhidos.
5Now Judas had pitched his tents at Eleasa, and three thousand chosen men with him:
6Quando viram a enorme quantidade de tropas inimigas, ficaram aterrorizados. Muitos abandonaram o exército, e não restaram mais de oitocentos homens.
6Who seeing the multitude of the other army to be so great were sore afraid; whereupon many conveyed themselves out of the host, insomuch as abode of them no more but eight hundred men.
7Judas viu que seu exército se dispersava e que a batalha estava prestes a começar. Ficou profundamente angustiado porque não havia tempo para reuni-los novamente, e perdeu o ânimo.
7When Judas therefore saw that his host slipt away, and that the battle pressed upon him, he was sore troubled in mind, and much distressed, for that he had no time to gather them together.
8Disse aos que restaram: “Vamos nos levantar e avançar contra nossos adversários. Talvez ainda consigamos lutar contra eles.”
8Nevertheless unto them that remained he said, Let us arise and go up against our enemies, if peradventure we may be able to fight with them.
9Eles tentaram convencê-lo a desistir: “Não temos condições! Salvemos nossa vida agora. Depois voltaremos com nossos irmãos e lutaremos contra eles. Somos poucos demais.”
9But they dehorted him, saying, We shall never be able: let us now rather save our lives, and hereafter we will return with our brethren, and fight against them: for we are but few.
10Judas respondeu: “Longe de mim fazer isso, fugir deles! Se chegou nossa hora, morramos corajosamente por nossos irmãos e não deixemos motivo de vergonha sobre nossa honra.”
10Then Judas said, God forbid that I should do this thing, and flee away from them: if our time be come, let us die manfully for our brethren, and let us not stain our honour.
11O exército inimigo saiu do acampamento e se posicionou para enfrentá-los. A cavalaria foi dividida em duas companhias. Os fundeiros e arqueiros iam à frente do exército, juntamente com todos os guerreiros mais poderosos que combatiam na linha de frente.
11With that the host of Bacchides removed out of their tents, and stood over against them, their horsemen being divided into two troops, and their slingers and archers going before the host and they that marched in the foreward were all mighty men.
12Báquides estava na ala direita. A falange avançou pelos dois lados, e tocaram as trombetas.
12As for Bacchides, he was in the right wing: so the host drew near on the two parts, and sounded their trumpets.
13Os homens do lado de Judas também tocaram as trombetas. A terra estremeceu com o clamor dos exércitos, e a batalha começou e continuou desde a manhã até a tarde.
13They also of Judas’ side, even they sounded their trumpets also, so that the earth shook at the noise of the armies, and the battle continued from morning till night.
14Judas viu que Báquides e a parte mais forte de seu exército estavam à direita, e todos os mais corajosos foram com ele.
14Now when Judas perceived that Bacchides and the strength of his army were on the right side, he took with him all the hardy men,
15A ala direita foi derrotada por eles, e Judas os perseguiu até o monte Azoto.
15Who discomfited the right wing, and pursued them unto the mount Azotus.
16Quando os que estavam na ala esquerda viram que a direita havia sido derrotada, deram a volta e seguiram os passos de Judas e dos que estavam com ele.
16But when they of the left wing saw that they of the right wing were discomfited, they followed upon Judas and those that were with him hard at the heels from behind:
17A batalha tornou-se desesperada, e muitos de ambos os lados caíram feridos de morte.
17Whereupon there was a sore battle, insomuch as many were slain on both parts.
18Judas caiu, e os demais fugiram.
18Judas also was killed, and the remnant fled.
19Jônatas e Simão levaram Judas, seu irmão, e o sepultaram no túmulo de seus antepassados em Modim.
19Then Jonathan and Simon took Judas their brother, and buried him in the sepulchre of his fathers in Modin.
20Choraram por ele. Todo Israel fez grande lamentação por ele e o pranteou durante muitos dias, dizendo:
20Moreover they bewailed him, and all Israel made great lamentation for him, and mourned many days, saying,
21“Como caiu o valente, o salvador de Israel!”
21How is the valiant man fallen, that delivered Israel!
22Os demais atos de Judas, suas guerras, os feitos valentes que realizou e sua grandeza não foram escritos, pois foram extremamente numerosos.
22As for the other things concerning Judas and his wars, and the noble acts which he did, and his greatness, they are not written: for they were very many.
23Depois da morte de Judas, os homens sem Lei surgiram em todas as fronteiras de Israel, e todos os que praticavam a injustiça se levantaram.
23Now after the death of Judas the wicked began to put forth their heads in all the coasts of Israel, and there arose up all such as wrought iniquity.
24Naqueles dias houve uma fome extremamente grande, e o país passou para o lado deles.
24In those days also was there a very great famine, by reason whereof the country revolted, and went with them.
25Báquides escolheu os ímpios e os colocou como governantes da região.
25Then Bacchides chose the wicked men, and made them lords of the country.
26Eles procuravam e investigavam os amigos de Judas, levavam-nos a Báquides, e ele se vingava deles e os tratava cruelmente.
26And they made enquiry and search for Judas’ friends, and brought them unto Bacchides, who took vengeance of them, and used them despitefully.
27Houve grande aflição em Israel, como não se via desde o tempo em que os profetas deixaram de aparecer entre eles.
27So was there a great affliction in Israel, the like whereof was not since the time that a prophet was not seen among them.
28Todos os amigos de Judas se reuniram e disseram a Jônatas:
28For this cause all Judas’ friends came together, and said unto Jonathan,
29“Desde que Judas, seu irmão, morreu, não temos homem como ele para sair contra nossos inimigos, contra Báquides e contra os de nossa nação que nos odeiam.
29Since thy brother Judas died, we have no man like him to go forth against our enemies, and Bacchides, and against them of our nation that are adversaries to us.
30Por isso, hoje escolhemos você para ser nosso príncipe e líder em seu lugar e lutar nossas batalhas.”
30Now therefore we have chosen thee this day to be our prince and captain in his stead, that thou mayest fight our battles.
31Jônatas assumiu a liderança naquele tempo e levantou-se no lugar de Judas, seu irmão.
31Upon this Jonathan took the governance upon him at that time, and rose up instead of his brother Judas.
32Quando Báquides soube disso, procurou matá-lo.
32But when Bacchides gat knowledge thereof, he sought for to slay him
33Jônatas, Simão, seu irmão, e todos os que estavam com ele souberam e fugiram para o deserto de Tecoa, onde acamparam junto às águas da cisterna de Asfar.
33Then Jonathan, and Simon his brother, and all that were with him, perceiving that, fled into the wilderness of Thecoe, and pitched their tents by the water of the pool Asphar.
34Báquides soube disso no sábado e atravessou o Jordão com todo o seu exército.
34Which when Bacchides understood, he came near to Jordan with all his host upon the sabbath day.
35Jônatas enviou seu irmão, líder da multidão, para pedir aos nabateus, seus amigos, que guardassem sua grande quantidade de bagagem.
35Now Jonathan had sent his brother John, a captain of the people, to pray his friends the Nabathites, that they might leave with them their carriage, which was much.
36Os filhos de Jambri saíram de Medaba, capturaram João com tudo o que possuía e foram embora levando tudo.
36But the children of Jambri came out of Medaba, and took John, and all that he had, and went their way with it.
37Depois dessas coisas, Jônatas e Simão, seu irmão, receberam a notícia de que os filhos de Jambri celebravam um grande casamento e traziam de Nadabat a noiva, filha de um dos grandes nobres de Canaã, acompanhada por uma grande comitiva.
37After this came word to Jonathan and Simon his brother, that the children of Jambri made a great marriage, and were bringing the bride from Nadabatha with a great train, as being the daughter of one of the great princes of Chanaan.
38Lembraram-se de João, seu irmão, subiram e se esconderam sob a cobertura da montanha.
38Therefore they remembered John their brother, and went up, and hid themselves under the covert of the mountain:
39Levantaram os olhos e viram uma grande procissão, com muita bagagem. O noivo saiu com seus amigos e parentes para encontrá-los, acompanhado de tamborins, músicos e muitas armas.
39Where they lifted up their eyes, and looked, and, behold, there was much ado and great carriage: and the bridegroom came forth, and his friends and brethren, to meet them with drums, and instruments of musick, and many weapons.
40Eles se levantaram de sua emboscada contra eles e os mataram. Muitos caíram feridos de morte, e os restantes fugiram para a montanha. Os judeus tomaram todos os seus despojos.
40Then Jonathan and they that were with him rose up against them from the place where they lay in ambush, and made a slaughter of them in such sort, as many fell down dead, and the remnant fled into the mountain, and they took all their spoils.
41Assim o casamento se transformou em luto, e a voz de seus músicos em lamentação.
41Thus was the marriage turned into mourning, and the noise of their melody into lamentation.
42Eles vingaram completamente o sangue de seu irmão e voltaram para os pântanos do Jordão.
42So when they had avenged fully the blood of their brother, they turned again to the marsh of Jordan.
43Báquides soube disso e chegou no sábado às margens do Jordão com um grande exército.
43Now when Bacchides heard hereof, he came on the sabbath day unto the banks of Jordan with a great power.
44Jônatas disse aos seus homens: “Vamos nos levantar agora e lutar por nossa vida, pois hoje as coisas são diferentes de ontem e anteontem.
44Then Jonathan said to his company, Let us go up now and fight for our lives, for it standeth not with us to day, as in time past:
45Eis que a batalha está diante de nós e atrás de nós. Além disso, temos as águas do Jordão de um lado e do outro, pântanos e matagais. Não há lugar para fugir.
45For, behold, the battle is before us and behind us, and the water of Jordan on this side and that side, the marsh likewise and wood, neither is there place for us to turn aside.
46Portanto, clamem agora ao céu para que sejam livrados das mãos de seus inimigos.”
46Wherefore cry ye now unto heaven, that ye may be delivered from the hand of your enemies.
47Então começou a batalha. Jônatas estendeu a mão para golpear Báquides, mas ele recuou diante dele.
47With that they joined battle, and Jonathan stretched forth his hand to smite Bacchides, but he turned back from him.
48Jônatas e os que estavam com ele saltaram no Jordão e nadaram para a outra margem. O inimigo não atravessou o Jordão atrás deles.
48Then Jonathan and they that were with him leapt into Jordan, and swam over unto the other bank: howbeit the other passed not over Jordan unto them.
49Cerca de mil homens de Báquides caíram naquele dia.
49So there were slain of Bacchides’ side that day about a thousand men.
50Ele voltou para Jerusalém. Construíram cidades fortificadas na Judeia: a fortaleza de Jericó, Emaús, Bet-Horom, Betel, Timna, Faratom e Tefom, com altos muros, portões e trancas.
50Afterward returned Bacchides to Jerusalem and repaired the strong cites in Judea; the fort in Jericho, and Emmaus, and Bethhoron, and Beth-el, and Thamnatha, Pharathoni, and Taphon, these did he strengthen with high walls, with gates and with bars.
51Colocou guarnições nelas para atormentar Israel.
51And in them he set a garrison, that they might work malice upon Israel.
52Fortificou a cidade de Betsur, Gazara e a cidadela e colocou nelas tropas e reservas de alimento.
52He fortified also the city Bethsura, and Gazera, and the tower, and put forces in them, and provision of victuals.
53Tomou os filhos dos principais homens da região como reféns e os manteve sob guarda na cidadela de Jerusalém.
53Besides, he took the chief men’s sons in the country for hostages, and put them into the tower at Jerusalem to be kept.
54No ano cento e cinquenta e três, no segundo mês, Álcimo ordenou que derrubassem o muro do pátio interno do santuário. Derrubou também as obras dos profetas.
54Moreover in the hundred fifty and third year, in the second month, Alcimus commanded that the wall of the inner court of the sanctuary should be pulled down; he pulled down also the works of the prophets
55Ele começou a obra de demolição. Naquele mesmo tempo, Álcimo foi atingido, e suas obras foram interrompidas. Sua boca se fechou, ele ficou paralisado e já não conseguia falar nem dar ordens a respeito de sua casa.
55And as he began to pull down, even at that time was Alcimus plagued, and his enterprizes hindered: for his mouth was stopped, and he was taken with a palsy, so that he could no more speak any thing, nor give order concerning his house.
56Álcimo morreu naquele tempo, em grande tormento.
56So Alcimus died at that time with great torment.
57Báquides viu que Álcimo havia morrido e voltou para o rei. Então a terra de Judá teve descanso por dois anos.
57Now when Bacchides saw that Alcimus was dead, he returned to the king: whereupon the land of Judea was in rest two years.
58Todos os homens sem Lei planejaram: “Eis que Jônatas e seus homens vivem tranquilos e seguros. Vamos chamar Báquides, e ele prenderá todos eles numa só noite.”
58Then all the ungodly men held a council, saying, Behold, Jonathan and his company are at ease, and dwell without care: now therefore we will bring Bacchides hither, who shall take them all in one night.
59Foram e o aconselharam.
59So they went and consulted with him.
60Ele partiu com um grande exército e enviou secretamente cartas a todos os seus aliados na Judeia para que prendessem Jônatas e os que estavam com ele; mas não conseguiram, porque seu plano se tornou conhecido.
60Then removed he, and came with a great host, and sent letters privily to his adherents in Judea, that they should take Jonathan and those that were with him: howbeit they could not, because their counsel was known unto them.
61Os homens de Jônatas prenderam cerca de cinquenta homens da região, responsáveis por essa maldade, e os mataram.
61Wherefore they took of the men of the country, that were authors of that mischief, about fifty persons, and slew them.
62Jônatas, Simão e os que estavam com eles foram para Bet-Basi, que fica no deserto. Jônatas reconstruiu o que havia sido derrubado, e eles fortificaram o lugar.
62Afterward Jonathan, and Simon, and they that were with him, got them away to Bethbasi, which is in the wilderness, and they repaired the decays thereof, and made it strong.
63Báquides soube disso, reuniu toda a sua multidão e enviou ordens aos que estavam na Judeia.
63Which thing when Bacchides knew, he gathered together all his host, and sent word to them that were of Judea.
64Foi e acampou contra Bet-Basi, lutou contra ela durante muitos dias e construiu máquinas de guerra.
64Then went he and laid siege against Bethbasi; and they fought against it a long season and made engines of war.
65Jônatas deixou Simão, seu irmão, na cidade e saiu para o campo com poucos homens.
65But Jonathan left his brother Simon in the city, and went forth himself into the country, and with a certain number went he forth.
66Atacou Odomera e seus parentes e os filhos de Fasirom em suas tendas.
66And he smote Odonarkes and his brethren, and the children of Phasiron in their tent.
67Começaram a atacá-los e a avançar com suas tropas. Então Simão e os que estavam com ele saíram da cidade e incendiaram as máquinas de guerra,
67And when he began to smite them, and came up with his forces, Simon and his company went out of the city, and burned up the engines of war,
68lutaram contra Báquides e o derrotaram. Eles o afligiram severamente, pois seu plano e sua expedição haviam fracassado.
68And fought against Bacchides, who was discomfited by them, and they afflicted him sore: for his counsel and travail was in vain.
69Báquides ficou muito irado com os homens sem Lei que o haviam aconselhado a entrar no país e matou muitos deles. Depois decidiu voltar para sua própria terra.
69Wherefore he was very wroth at the wicked men that gave him counsel to come into the country, inasmuch as he slew many of them, and purposed to return into his own country.
70Jônatas soube disso e enviou embaixadores para fazer paz com ele e pedir a devolução dos cativos.
70Whereof when Jonathan had knowledge, he sent ambassadors unto him, to the end he should make peace with him, and deliver them the prisoners.
71Báquides aceitou a proposta, fez conforme suas palavras e jurou que não procuraria fazer-lhe mal durante todos os dias de sua vida.
71Which thing he accepted, and did according to his demands, and sware unto him that he would never do him harm all the days of his life.
72Devolveu-lhe os cativos que havia tomado anteriormente da terra de Judá, voltou para sua própria terra e nunca mais entrou nas fronteiras deles.
72When therefore he had restored unto him the prisoners that he had taken aforetime out of the land of Judea, he returned and went his way into his own land, neither came he any more into their borders.
73Assim a espada cessou em Israel. Jônatas passou a morar em Micmás, começou a julgar o povo e destruiu os ímpios de Israel.
73Thus the sword ceased from Israel: but Jonathan dwelt at Machmas, and began to govern the people; and he destroyed the ungodly men out of Israel.
