1 O anjo do Senhor subiu de Gilgal a Boquim, e disse: Do Egito vos fiz subir, e vos trouxe para a terra que, com juramento, prometi a vossos pais, e vos disse: Nunca violarei e meu pacto convosco;

¶ And the angel of the LORD came up from Gilgal to Bochim and said, I brought you up out of Egypt and caused you to enter into the land which I swore unto your fathers, and I said, I will never break my covenant with you

2 e , quanto a vós, não fareis pacto com os habitantes desta terra, antes derrubareis os seus altares. Mas vós não obedecestes ã minha voz. Por que fizestes isso?

as long as ye make no covenant with the inhabitants of this land; to the contrary, ye shall throw down their altars, but ye have not heard my voice; why have ye done this?

3 P elo que também eu disse: Não os expulsarei de diante de vós; antes estarão quais espinhos nas vossas ilhargas, e os seus deuses vos serão por laço.

Therefore, I also said, I will not drive them out from before you, but they shall be as thorns in your sides, and their gods shall be a snare unto you.

4 T endo o anjo do Senhor falado estas palavras a todos os filhos de Israel, o povo levantou a sua voz e chorou.

And when the angel of the LORD spoke these words unto all the sons of Israel, the people lifted up their voice, and wept.

5 P elo que chamaram

And they called the name of that place Bochim, and they sacrificed there unto the LORD.

6 H avendo Josué despedido o povo, foram-se os filhos de Israel, cada um para a sua herança, a fim de possuírem a terra.

¶ For Joshua had let the people go, and the sons of Israel had each gone unto his inheritance to possess the land.

7 O povo serviu ao Senhor todos os dias de Josué, e todos os dias dos anciãos que sobreviveram a Josué e que tinham visto toda aquela grande obra do Senhor, a qual ele fizera a favor de Israel.

And the people had served the LORD all the days of Joshua and all the days of the elders that outlived Joshua who had seen all the great works of the LORD that he had done with Israel.

8 M orreu, porém, Josué, filho de Num, servo do Senhor, com a idade de cento e dez anos;

And Joshua, the son of Nun, the slave of the LORD, died, being one hundred and ten years old.

9 e o sepultaram no território da sua herança, em Timnate-Heres, na região montanhosa de Efraim, para o norte do monte Gaás.

And they buried him within the border of his inheritance in Timnathheres in the mount of Ephraim on the north side of the mount of Gaash.

10 E foi também congregada toda aquela geração a seus pais, e após ela levantou-se outra geração que não conhecia ao Senhor, nem tampouco a obra que ele fizera a Israel.

And also all that generation were gathered unto their fathers, and there arose another generation after them which did not know the LORD nor the work which he had done to Israel.

11 E ntão os filhos de Israel fizeram o que era mau aos olhos do Senhor, servindo aos baalins;

And the sons of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD and served the Baalim.

12 a bandonaram o Senhor Deus de seus pais, que os tirara da terra do Egito, e foram-se após outros deuses, dentre os deuses dos povos que havia ao redor deles, e os adoraram; e provocaram o Senhor ã ira,

And they forsook the LORD God of their fathers, who brought them out of the land of Egypt, and followed other gods, of the gods of the peoples that were round about them, and bowed themselves unto them and provoked the LORD to anger.

13 a bandonando-o, e servindo a baalins e astarotes.

And they forsook the LORD and served Baal and Ashtaroth.

14 P elo que a ira do Senhor se acendeu contra Israel, e ele os entregou na mão dos espoliadores, que os despojaram; e os vendeu na mão dos seus inimigos ao redor, de modo que não puderam mais resistir diante deles.

And the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel, and he delivered them into the hands of spoilers that spoiled them, and he sold them into the hands of their enemies round about, so that they could no longer stand before their enemies.

15 P or onde quer que saíam, a mão do Senhor era contra eles para o mal, como o Senhor tinha dito, e como lho tinha jurado; e estavam em grande aflição.

Wherever they went out, the hand of the LORD was against them for evil, as the LORD had said and as the LORD had sworn unto them; and thus they were greatly distressed.

16 M as o Senhor suscitou juízes, que os livraram da mão dos que os espojavam.

Nevertheless, the LORD raised up judges who delivered them out of the hand of those that spoiled them.

17 C ontudo, não deram ouvidos nem aos seus juízes, pois se prostituíram após outros deuses, e os adoraram; depressa se desviaram do caminho, por onde andaram seus pais em obediência aos mandamentos do Senhor; não fizeram como eles.

And yet they would not hearken unto their judges, but they fornicated after other gods and bowed themselves unto them; they turned quickly out of the way which their fathers had walked hearing the commandments of the LORD; but they did not do so.

18 Q uando o Senhor lhes suscitava juízes, ele era com o juiz, e os livrava da mão dos seus inimigos todos os dias daquele juiz; porquanto o Senhor se compadecia deles em razão do seu gemido por causa dos que os oprimiam e afligiam.

And when the LORD raised them up judges, then the LORD was with the judge and delivered them out of the hand of their enemies all the days of that judge; for the LORD repented because of their groanings by reason of those that oppressed them and afflicted them.

19 M as depois da morte do juiz, reincidiam e se corrompiam mais do que seus pais, andando após outros deuses, servindo-os e adorando-os; não abandonavam nenhuma das suas práticas, nem a sua obstinação.

But when the judge was dead, then they would return, and corrupt themselves more than their fathers in following other gods to serve them and to bow down unto them; they did not diminish from their own doings nor from their stubborn way.

20 P elo que se acendeu contra Israel a ira do Senhor, e ele disse: Porquanto esta nação violou o meu pacto, que estabeleci com seus pais, não dando ouvidos ã minha voz,

And the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel, and he said, Because these people transgress my covenant which I commanded their fathers and do not hearken unto my voice;

21 e u não expulsarei mais de diante deles nenhuma das nações que Josué deixou quando morreu;

neither will I drive out any longer from before them any of these Gentiles which Joshua left when he died,

22 a fim de que, por elas, ponha a prova Israel, se há de guardar, ou não, o caminho do Senhor, como seus pais o guardaram, para nele andar.

that through them I may prove Israel, whether they will keep the way of the LORD by walking therein as their fathers kept it, or not.

23 A ssim o Senhor deixou ficar aquelas nações, e não as desterrou logo, nem as entregou na mão de Josué.

Therefore, the LORD left those Gentiles, without driving them out hastily; neither did he deliver them into the hand of Joshua.
