Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1Então todos os filhos de Israel saíram, e a congregação se reuniu como um só homem, desde Dã até Berseba, juntamente com a terra de Gileade, perante o SENHOR em Mispá.
1Then all the children of Israel went out and gathered together as one man from Dan to Bersabee, with the land of Galaad, to the Lord in Maspha:
2Os chefes de todo o povo, de todas as tribos de Israel, apresentaram-se na assembleia do povo de Deus, quatrocentos mil homens de infantaria que empunhavam a espada.
2And all the chiefs of the people, and all the tribes of Israel met together in the assembly of the people of God, four hundred thousand footmen fit for war.
3(Ora, os filhos de Benjamim ouviram que os filhos de Israel haviam subido a Mispá.) E os filhos de Israel disseram: “Contem-nos, como aconteceu essa maldade?”
3(Nor were the children of Benjamin ignorant that the children of Israel were come up to Maspha.) And the Levite the husband of the woman that was killed, being asked, how so great a wickedness had been committed,
4O levita, marido da mulher assassinada, respondeu: “Eu cheguei a Gibeá, que pertence a Benjamim, eu e a minha concubina, para passar a noite.
4Answered: I came into Gabaa of Benjamin with my wife, and there I lodged:
5Os homens de Gibeá se levantaram contra mim e cercaram a casa de noite. Tinham a intenção de me matar e estupraram a minha concubina, e ela morreu.
5And behold the men of that city in the night beset the house wherein I was, intending to kill me, and abused my wife with an incredible fury of lust, so that at last she died.
6Eu peguei a minha concubina, cortei-a em pedaços e a enviei por toda a terra da herança de Israel; porque cometeram lascívia e loucura em Israel.
6And I took her and cut her in pieces, and sent the, parts into all the borders of your possession: because there never was so heinous a crime, and so great an abomination committed in Israel.
7Eis aqui todos vocês, filhos de Israel; deem a sua palavra e o seu conselho.”
7You are all here, O children of Israel, determine what you ought to do.
8Todo o povo se levantou como um só homem, dizendo: “Nenhum de nós irá para a sua tenda, nem nenhum de nós voltará para a sua casa.
8And all the people standing, answered as by the voice of one man: We will not return to our tents, neither shall any one of us go into his own house:
9Mas agora é isto que faremos a Gibeá: subiremos contra ela por sorteio;
9But this we will do in common against Gabaa:
10tomaremos dez homens de cada cem em todas as tribos de Israel, cem de cada mil, e mil de cada dez mil, para buscar provisões para o exército, para que estes, ao chegarem a Gibeá de Benjamim, possam tratá-la conforme toda a loucura que os homens de Gibeá cometeram em Israel.”
10We will take ten men of a hundred out of all the tribes of Israel, and a hundred out of a thousand, and a thousand out of ten thousand, to bring victuals for the army, that we might fight against Gabaa of Benjamin, and render to it for its wickedness, what it deserveth.
11Assim todos os homens de Israel se reuniram contra a cidade, unidos como um só homem.
11And all Israel were gathered together against the city, as one man, with one mind, and one counsel:
12As tribos de Israel enviaram homens por toda a tribo de Benjamim, dizendo: “Que maldade é esta que aconteceu no meio de vocês?
12And they sent messengers to all the tribe of Benjamin to say to them: Why hath so great an abomination been found among you?
13Agora, pois, entreguem os homens, aqueles homens perversos que estão em Gibeá, para que os matemos e extirpemos o mal de Israel.” Mas Benjamim não quis dar ouvidos à voz de seus irmãos, os filhos de Israel.
13Deliver up the men of Gabaa, that have committed this heinous crime, that they may die, and the evil may be taken away out of Israel. But they would not hearken to the proposition of their brethren the children of Israel:
14Os filhos de Benjamim saíram das suas cidades e se reuniram em Gibeá, para saírem à batalha contra os filhos de Israel.
14But out of all the cities which were of their lot, they gathered themselves together into Gabaa, to aid them, and to fight against the whole people of Israel.
15Os filhos de Benjamim foram contados naquele dia das várias cidades: vinte e seis mil homens que empunhavam a espada, além dos habitantes de Gibeá, dentre os quais foram contados setecentos homens escolhidos.
15And there were found of Benjamin five and twenty thousand men that drew the sword, besides the inhabitants of Gabaa,
16Entre todos esses soldados havia setecentos homens escolhidos que eram canhotos. Cada um deles podia atirar com a funda uma pedra em um fio de cabelo sem errar.
16Who were seven hundred most valiant men, fighting with the left hand as well as with the right: and slinging stones so sure that they could hit even a hair, and not miss by the stone’s going on either side.
17Os homens de Israel, sem contar os de Benjamim, foram contados em quatrocentos mil homens que empunhavam a espada. Todos estes eram homens de guerra.
17Of the men of Israel also, beside the children of Benjamin, were found four hundred thousand that drew swords, and were prepared to fight.
18Os filhos de Israel se levantaram, subiram a Betel e consultaram a Deus. Eles perguntaram: “Quem de nós subirá primeiro para batalhar contra os filhos de Benjamim?” E o SENHOR disse: “Judá subirá primeiro.”
18And they arose and came to the house of God, that is, to Silo: and they consulted God, and said: Who shall be in our army the first to go to the battle against the children of Benjamin? And the Lord answered them: Let Juda be your leader.
19Os filhos de Israel levantaram-se pela manhã e acamparam contra Gibeá.
19And forthwith the children of Israel rising in the morning, camped by Gabaa:
20Os homens de Israel saíram para lutar contra Benjamim; e os homens de Israel se colocaram em ordem de batalha contra eles junto a Gibeá.
20And going out from thence to fight against Benjamin, began to assault the city.
21Os filhos de Benjamim saíram de Gibeá e, naquele dia, derrubaram por terra vinte e duas mil pessoas de Israel.
21And the children of Benjamin coming out of Gabaa, slew of the children of Israel that day two and twenty thousand men.
22Mas o povo, os homens de Israel, se encorajaram e tornaram a formar a linha de batalha no mesmo lugar onde a haviam formado no primeiro dia.
22Again Israel trusting in their strength and their number, set their army in array in the same place, where they had fought before:
23Os filhos de Israel subiram e choraram perante o SENHOR até a tarde; e consultaram o SENHOR, dizendo: “Devo aproximar-me novamente para lutar contra os filhos de Benjamim, meu irmão?” E o SENHOR disse: “Subam contra ele.”
23Yet so that they first went up and wept before the Lord until night: and consulted him, and said: Shall I go out any more to fight against the children of Benjamin my brethren, or not? And he answered them: Go up against them, and join battle.
24Os filhos de Israel se aproximaram dos filhos de Benjamim no segundo dia.
24And when the children of Israel went out the next day to fight against the children of Benjamin,
25Benjamim saiu de Gibeá ao encontro deles no segundo dia, e derrubou por terra mais dezoito mil homens dos filhos de Israel. Todos estes empunhavam a espada.
25The children of Benjamin sallied forth out of the gates of Gabaa: and meeting them made so great a slaughter of them, as to kill eighteen thousand men that drew the sword.
26Então todos os filhos de Israel e todo o povo subiram, vieram a Betel, choraram e sentaram-se ali perante o SENHOR, e jejuaram naquele dia até a tarde; em seguida, ofereceram holocaustos e ofertas pacíficas perante o SENHOR.
26Wherefore all the children of Israel came to the house of God, and sat and wept before the Lord: and they fasted that day till the evening, and offered to him holocausts, and victims of peace offerings,
27Os filhos de Israel consultaram o SENHOR (pois a arca da aliança de Deus estava ali naqueles dias,
27And inquired of him concerning their state. At that time the ark of the covenant of the Lord was there,
28e Fineias, filho de Eleazar, filho de Arão, ministrava perante ela naqueles dias), dizendo: “Devo ainda sair novamente para lutar contra os filhos de Benjamim, meu irmão, ou devo parar?” O SENHOR disse: “Subam, pois amanhã eu os entregarei em suas mãos.”
28And Phinees the son of Eleazar the son of Aaron was over the house. So they consulted the Lord and said: Shall we go out any more to fight against the children of Benjamin our brethren, or shall we cease? And the Lord said to them: Go up, for tomorrow I will deliver them into your hands.
29Israel preparou emboscadas ao redor de Gibeá.
29And the children of Israel set ambushes round about the city of Gabaa:
30Os filhos de Israel subiram contra os filhos de Benjamim no terceiro dia e se colocaram em ordem de batalha contra Gibeá, como nas outras vezes.
30And they drew up their army against Benjamin the third time, as they had done the first and second.
31Os filhos de Benjamim saíram ao encontro do exército, e foram afastados da cidade; e começaram a ferir e a matar alguns do povo como nas outras vezes, nas estradas, uma das quais sobe para Betel e a outra para Gibeá, através do campo, cerca de trinta homens de Israel.
31And the children of Benjamin boldly issued out of the city, and seeing their enemies flee, pursued them a long way, so as to wound and kill some of them, as they had done the first and second day, whilst they fled by two highways, whereof one goeth up to Bethel, and the other to Gabaa, and they slew about thirty men:
32Os filhos de Benjamim disseram: “Eles estão sendo derrotados diante de nós, como da primeira vez.” Mas os filhos de Israel haviam dito: “Fujamos e vamos atraí-los da cidade para as estradas.”
32For they thought to cut them off, as they did before. But they artfully feigning a flight, designed to draw them away from the city, and by their seeming to flee to bring them to the highways aforesaid.
33Todos os homens de Israel se levantaram de seus lugares e formaram a linha de batalha em Baal-Tamar. E os homens de Israel que estavam na emboscada saíram dos seus esconderijos em Maaré-Geba.
33Then all the children of Israel rising up out of the places where they were, set their army in battle array, in the place which is called Baalthamar. The ambushes also which were about the city, began by little and little to come forth,
34Dez mil homens escolhidos de todo o Israel vieram contra Gibeá, e a batalha foi feroz; mas os benjamitas não sabiam que a desgraça estava perto deles.
34And to march from the west side of the city. And other ten thousand men chosen out of all Israel attacked the inhabitants of the city. And the battle grew hot against the children of Benjamin: and they understood not that present death threatened them on every side.
35O SENHOR feriu Benjamim diante de Israel; e os filhos de Israel destruíram de Benjamim naquele dia vinte e cinco mil e cem homens. Todos estes empunhavam a espada.
35And the Lord defeated them before the children of Israel, and they slew of them in that day five and twenty thousand, and one hundred, all fighting men and that drew the sword.
36Então os filhos de Benjamim viram que estavam sendo derrotados, pois os homens de Israel recuaram diante de Benjamim porque confiavam na emboscada que haviam preparado contra Gibeá.
36But the children of Benjamin when they saw themselves to be too weak, began to flee. Which the children of Israel seeing, gave them place to flee, that they might come to the ambushes that were prepared, which they had set near the city.
37Os homens da emboscada se apressaram e arremeteram contra Gibeá; depois a emboscada se espalhou e feriu toda a cidade ao fio da espada.
37And they that were in ambush arose on a sudden out of their coverts, and whilst Benjamin turned their backs to the slayers, went into the city, and smote it with the edge of the sword.
38Ora, o sinal combinado entre os homens de Israel e a emboscada era que estes fizessem subir da cidade uma grande nuvem de fumaça.
38Now the children of Israel had given a sign to them, whom they had laid in ambushes, that after they had taken the city, they should make a fire: that by the smoke rising on high, they might shew that the city was taken.
39Os homens de Israel viraram-se na batalha, e Benjamim começou a ferir e a matar dos homens de Israel cerca de trinta pessoas; pois diziam: “Certamente eles estão sendo derrotados diante de nós, como na primeira batalha.”
39And when the children of Israel saw this in the battle (for the children of Benjamin thought they fled and pursued them vigorously, killing thirty men of their army)
40Mas quando a nuvem começou a subir da cidade numa coluna de fumaça, os benjamitas olharam para trás, e eis que a cidade inteira subia em fumaça para o céu.
40And perceived as it were a pillar of smoke rise up from the city; and Benjamin looking back, saw that the city was taken, and that the flames ascended on high:
41Os homens de Israel se viraram, e os homens de Benjamim ficaram aterrorizados, pois viram que a desgraça havia caído sobre eles.
41They that before had made as if they fled, turning their faces stood bravely against them; which the children of Benjamin seeing, turned their backs,
42Portanto, deram as costas diante dos homens de Israel e fugiram em direção ao deserto, mas a batalha os alcançou com força; e aqueles que saíram das cidades os destruíram no meio do caminho.
42And began to go towards the way of the desert, the enemy pursuing them thither also. And they that fired the city came also out to meet them.
43Eles cercaram os benjamitas, os perseguiram e os pisotearam no seu local de descanso, até perto de Gibeá, em direção ao nascente.
43And so it was, that they were slain on both sides by the enemies, and there was no rest of their men dying. They fell and were beaten down on the east side of the city Gabaa.
44Caíram dezoito mil homens de Benjamim; todos eles eram homens de valor.
44And they that were slain in the same place were eighteen thousand men, all most valiant soldiers.
45Eles viraram-se e fugiram em direção ao deserto, para a rocha de Rimom. E os israelitas apanharam cinco mil homens deles nas estradas, os perseguiram de perto até Gidom, e mataram dois mil homens deles.
45And when they that remained of Benjamin saw this, they fled into the wilderness and made towards the rock that is called Remmon. In that flight, also as they were straggling and going different ways, they slew of them five thousand men. And as they went farther, they still pursued them, and slew also other two thousand.
46Assim, todos os de Benjamim que caíram naquele dia foram vinte e cinco mil homens que empunhavam a espada. Todos estes eram homens de valor.
46And so it came to pass, that all that were slain of Benjamin in divers places, were five and twenty thousand fighting men, most valiant for war.
47Mas seiscentos homens deram meia-volta e fugiram em direção ao deserto, para a rocha de Rimom, e ficaram na rocha de Rimom por quatro meses.
47And there remained of all the number of Benjamin only six hundred men that were able to escape, and flee to the wilderness: and they abode in the rock Remmon four months.
48Os homens de Israel voltaram-se contra os filhos de Benjamim, e os feriram ao fio da espada — incluindo a cidade inteira, os rebanhos e tudo o que encontraram. Além disso, incendiaram todas as cidades que encontraram.
48But the children of Israel returning, put all the remains of the city to the sword, both men and beasts, and all the cities and villages of Benjamin were consumed with devouring flames.
