2 Macabeus 10
Bíblia Portuguesa Mundial (Brazilian Portuguese)
King James Version with Apocrypha
1Macabeu e os que estavam com ele, conduzidos pelo Senhor, recuperaram o templo e a cidade.
1Now Maccabeus and his company, the Lord guiding them, recovered the temple and the city:
2Derrubaram os altares construídos pelos estrangeiros na praça pública e também os recintos sagrados.
2But the altars which the heathen had built in the open street, and also the chapels, they pulled down.
3Depois de purificarem o santuário, fizeram outro altar de sacrifício. Fazendo fogo com pedras de pederneira, ofereceram sacrifícios depois de uma interrupção de dois anos, queimaram incenso, acenderam as lâmpadas e colocaram os pães da proposição.
3And having cleansed the temple they made another altar, and striking stones they took fire out of them, and offered a sacrifice after two years, and set forth incense, and lights, and shewbread.
4Depois de fazerem essas coisas, prostraram-se e suplicaram ao Senhor para que nunca mais caíssem em males como aqueles; mas, caso voltassem a pecar, que fossem disciplinados por ele com tolerância e não entregues a gentios blasfemos e bárbaros.
4When that was done, they fell flat down, and besought the Lord that they might come no more into such troubles; but if they sinned any more against him, that he himself would chasten them with mercy, and that they might not be delivered unto the blasphemous and barbarous nations.
5No mesmo dia em que o santuário havia sido profanado pelos estrangeiros, naquele mesmo dia aconteceu sua purificação: o vigésimo quinto dia do mesmo mês, Quisleu.
5Now upon the same day that the strangers profaned the temple, on the very same day it was cleansed again, even the five and twentieth day of the same month, which is Casleu.
6Celebraram oito dias com alegria, à maneira da Festa dos Tabernáculos, lembrando-se de como pouco antes, durante a Festa dos Tabernáculos, haviam vagado pelas montanhas e cavernas como animais selvagens.
6And they kept the eight days with gladness, as in the feast of the tabernacles, remembering that not long afore they had held the feast of the tabernacles, when as they wandered in the mountains and dens like beasts.
7Por isso, levando bastões adornados com folhas, belos ramos e também folhas de palmeira, entoavam hinos de ação de graças àquele que havia feito prosperar a purificação de seu próprio lugar.
7Therefore they bare branches, and fair boughs, and palms also, and sang psalms unto him that had given them good success in cleansing his place.
8Por estatuto e decreto público, determinaram também que toda a nação dos judeus celebrasse esses dias todos os anos.
8They ordained also by a common statute and decree, That every year those days should be kept of the whole nation of the Jews.
9Assim terminaram os acontecimentos relacionados a Antíoco, chamado Epifânio.
9And this was the end of Antiochus, called Epiphanes.
10Agora relataremos o que aconteceu sob Antíoco Eupátor, que mostrou ser filho daquele homem ímpio, resumindo os principais males das guerras.
10Now will we declare the acts of Antiochus Eupator, who was the son of this wicked man, gathering briefly the calamities of the wars.
11Quando assumiu o reino, nomeou um homem chamado Lísias como chanceler e governador supremo da Celessíria e da Fenícia.
11So when he was come to the crown, he set one Lysias over the affairs of his realm, and appointed him his chief governor of Celosyria and Phenice.
12Ptolomeu, chamado Macron, procurando dar exemplo de justiça para com os judeus por causa do mal que lhes havia sido feito, esforçou-se para tratá-los pacificamente.
12For Ptolemeus, that was called Macron, choosing rather to do justice unto the Jews for the wrong that had been done unto them, endeavoured to continue peace with them.
13Por isso foi acusado diante de Eupátor pelos amigos do rei e continuamente chamado de traidor, porque abandonara Chipre, que Filometor lhe havia confiado, retirara-se para junto de Antíoco Epifânio e, não conseguindo manter a honra de seu cargo, tomou veneno e matou a si mesmo.
13Whereupon being accused of the king’s friends before Eupator, and called traitor at every word because he had left Cyprus, that Philometor had committed unto him, and departed to Antiochus Epiphanes, and seeing that he was in no honourable place, he was so discouraged, that he poisoned himself and died.
14Quando Górgias se tornou governador da região, manteve um exército de mercenários e continuou constantemente a guerra contra os judeus.
14But when Gorgias was governor of the holds, he hired soldiers, and nourished war continually with the Jews:
15Junto com ele, os idumeus, que controlavam fortalezas importantes, também hostilizavam os judeus. Recebiam os fugitivos de Jerusalém e procuravam manter a guerra.
15And therewithall the Idumeans, having gotten into their hands the most commodious holds, kept the Jews occupied, and receiving those that were banished from Jerusalem, they went about to nourish war.
16Macabeu e seus homens fizeram uma súplica solene, imploraram a Deus que lutasse ao lado deles e avançaram contra as fortalezas dos idumeus.
16Then they that were with Maccabeus made supplication, and besought God that he would be their helper; and so they ran with violence upon the strong holds of the Idumeans,
17Atacaram-nas vigorosamente, tomaram as posições, repeliram todos os que lutavam sobre os muros e mataram os que encontraram, não menos de vinte mil homens.
17And assaulting them strongly, they won the holds, and kept off all that fought upon the wall, and slew all that fell into their hands, and killed no fewer than twenty thousand.
18Não menos de nove mil haviam fugido para duas torres muito fortes, que possuíam tudo o que era necessário para suportar um cerco.
18And because certain, who were no less than nine thousand, were fled together into two very strong castles, having all manner of things convenient to sustain the siege,
19Macabeu deixou Simão, José, Zaqueu e os homens que estavam com eles — força suficiente para manter o cerco — e partiu para os lugares onde sua presença era mais necessária.
19Maccabeus left Simon and Joseph, and Zaccheus also, and them that were with him, who were enough to besiege them, and departed himself unto those places which more needed his help.
20Simão e seus homens, porém, cedendo à ganância, aceitaram suborno de alguns dos que estavam nas torres. Receberam setenta mil dracmas e deixaram alguns deles escapar.
20Now they that were with Simon, being led with covetousness, were persuaded for money through certain of those that were in the castle, and took seventy thousand drachms, and let some of them escape.
21Quando Macabeu soube do que havia acontecido, reuniu os líderes do povo e acusou aqueles homens de terem vendido seus irmãos por dinheiro, libertando os inimigos para continuarem lutando contra eles.
21But when it was told Maccabeus what was done, he called the governors of the people together, and accused those men, that they had sold their brethren for money, and set their enemies free to fight against them.
22Então matou esses homens por terem se tornado traidores e imediatamente tomou posse das duas torres.
22So he slew those that were found traitors, and immediately took the two castles.
23Prosperando com suas armas em tudo o que empreendia, destruiu mais de vinte mil homens nas duas fortalezas.
23And having good success with his weapons in all things he took in hand, he slew in the two holds more than twenty thousand.
24Timóteo, que anteriormente havia sido derrotado pelos judeus, reuniu grande quantidade de tropas estrangeiras e não pouca cavalaria pertencente à Ásia e veio com a intenção de tomar a Judeia pela força das armas.
24Now Timotheus, whom the Jews had overcome before, when he had gathered a great multitude of foreign forces, and horses out of Asia not a few, came as though he would take Jewry by force of arms.
25Quando ele se aproximava, Macabeu e seus homens colocaram terra sobre a cabeça e cingiram a cintura com pano de saco em súplica a Deus.
25But when he drew near, they that were with Maccabeus turned themselves to pray unto God, and sprinkled earth upon their heads, and girded their loins with sackcloth,
26Prostraram-se diante do degrau em frente ao altar e imploraram a Deus que lhes fosse misericordioso e inimigo de seus inimigos e adversário de seus adversários, conforme declara a Lei.
26And fell down at the foot of the altar, and besought him to be merciful to them, and to be an enemy to their enemies, and an adversary to their adversaries, as the law declareth.
27Depois da oração, levantaram-se, pegaram as armas e avançaram certa distância para fora da cidade. Quando chegaram perto dos inimigos, pararam.
27So after the prayer they took their weapons, and went on further from the city: and when they drew near to their enemies, they kept by themselves.
28Quando o amanhecer começava, os dois exércitos entraram em batalha. De um lado, além da coragem, havia como garantia de êxito e vitória o fato de terem buscado refúgio no Senhor; do outro, a paixão era o guia da luta.
28Now the sun being newly risen, they joined both together; the one part having together with their virtue their refuge also unto the Lord for a pledge of their success and victory: the other side making their rage leader of their battle
29Quando a batalha ficou intensa, apareceram do céu aos adversários cinco homens esplêndidos montados em cavalos com freios de ouro, e dois deles conduziam os judeus.
29But when the battle waxed strong, there appeared unto the enemies from heaven five comely men upon horses, with bridles of gold, and two of them led the Jews,
30Eles colocaram Macabeu entre si, protegeram-no com suas próprias armaduras e o guardaram de ferimentos, enquanto lançavam flechas e raios contra os inimigos. Por isso os adversários ficaram cegos, lançados em confusão e, tomados de perplexidade, foram despedaçados.
30And took Maccabeus betwixt them, and covered him on every side weapons, and kept him safe, but shot arrows and lightnings against the enemies: so that being confounded with blindness, and full of trouble, they were killed.
31Foram mortos vinte mil e quinhentos homens, além de seiscentos cavaleiros.
31And there were slain of footmen twenty thousand and five hundred, and six hundred horsemen.
32O próprio Timóteo fugiu para uma fortaleza chamada Gazara, fortificação muito poderosa, comandada por Quereas.
32As for Timotheus himself, he fled into a very strong hold, called Gawra, where Chereas was governor.
33Macabeu e seus homens, cheios de alegria, sitiaram a fortaleza durante quatro dias.
33But they that were with Maccabeus laid siege against the fortress courageously four days.
34Os que estavam dentro, confiando na força do lugar, blasfemavam intensamente e lançavam palavras ímpias.
34And they that were within, trusting to the strength of the place, blasphemed exceedingly, and uttered wicked words.
35Ao amanhecer do quinto dia, alguns jovens do grupo de Macabeu, inflamados de ira por causa das blasfêmias, atacaram o muro com força viril e com fúria intensa e mataram todos os que encontraram.
35Nevertheless upon the fifth day early twenty young men of Maccabeus’ company, inflamed with anger because of the blasphemies, assaulted the wall manly, and with a fierce courage killed all that they met withal.
36Outros subiram da mesma maneira e, enquanto os inimigos estavam distraídos com os que já haviam entrado, incendiaram as torres e acenderam fogueiras que queimaram vivos os blasfemadores. Outros arrombaram os portões, permitiram a entrada do restante do grupo e ocuparam a cidade.
36Others likewise ascending after them, whiles they were busied with them that were within, burnt the towers, and kindling fires burnt the blasphemers alive; and others broke open the gates, and, having received in the rest of the army, took the city,
37Mataram Timóteo, que estava escondido numa cisterna, seu irmão Quereas e Apolófanes.
37And killed Timotheus, that was hid in a certain pit, and Chereas his brother, with Apollophanes.
38Depois de realizarem essas coisas, bendisseram o Senhor com hinos e ações de graças, louvando aquele que concede grandes benefícios a Israel e lhes dá a vitória.
38When this was done, they praised the Lord with psalms and thanksgiving, who had done so great things for Israel, and given them the victory.
