Judges 2

Israel's Disobedience
2 Now the angel of the Lord went up from Gilgal to (A)Bochim. And he said, “I brought you up from Egypt and brought you into the land that I swore to give to your fathers. I said, (B)‘I will never break my covenant with you, 2 (C)and you shall make no covenant with the inhabitants of this land; (D)you shall break down their altars.’ But you have not obeyed my voice. What is this you have done? 3 So now I say, (E)I will not drive them out before you, but they shall become (F)thorns in your sides, and their gods shall be a snare to you.” 4 As soon as the angel of the Lord spoke these words to all the people of Israel, the people lifted up their voices and wept. 5 And they called the name of that place Bochim.[a] And they sacrificed there to the Lord.
The Death of Joshua
6 When Joshua dismissed the people, the people of Israel went each to his inheritance to take possession of the land. 7 (G)And the people served the Lord all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders who outlived Joshua, who had seen all the great work that the Lord had done for Israel. 8 And Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of the Lord, died at the age of 110 years. 9 And they buried him within the boundaries of (H)his inheritance in Timnath-heres, (I)in the hill country of Ephraim, north of the mountain of Gaash. 10 And all that generation also were gathered to their fathers. And there arose another generation after them who did not know the Lord or the work that he had done for Israel.
Israel's Unfaithfulness
11 (J)And the people of Israel did what was evil in the sight of the Lord and served the Baals. 12 (K)And they abandoned the Lord, the God of their fathers, who had brought them out of the land of Egypt. (L)They went after other gods, from among the gods of the peoples who were around them, and (M)bowed down to them. (N)And they provoked the Lord to anger. 13 They abandoned the Lord (O)and served the Baals and the Ashtaroth. 14 (P)So the anger of the Lord was kindled against Israel, and he (Q)gave them over to plunderers, who plundered them. (R)And he sold them into the hand of their surrounding enemies, (S)so that they could no longer withstand their enemies. 15 Whenever they marched out, the hand of the Lord was against them for harm, as the Lord had warned, (T)and as the Lord had sworn to them. And they were in terrible distress.
The Lord Raises Up Judges
16 (U)Then the Lord raised up judges, (V)who saved them out of the hand of those who plundered them. 17 Yet they did not listen to their judges, for (W)they whored after other gods and bowed down to them. (X)They soon turned aside from the way in which their fathers had walked, who had obeyed the commandments of the Lord, and they did not do so. 18 Whenever the Lord raised up judges for them, (Y)the Lord was with the judge, and he saved them from the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge. (Z)For the Lord was moved to pity by (AA)their groaning because of those who afflicted and oppressed them. 19 But (AB)whenever the judge died, they turned back and were more corrupt than their fathers, going after other gods, serving them and bowing down to them. They did not drop any of their practices or their stubborn ways. 20 (AC)So the anger of the Lord was kindled against Israel, and he said, “Because this people (AD)have transgressed my covenant that I commanded their fathers and have not obeyed my voice, 21 (AE)I will no longer drive out before them any of the nations that Joshua left when he died, 22 in order (AF)to test Israel by them, whether they will take care to walk in the way of the Lord as their fathers did, or not.” 23 So the Lord left those nations, not driving them out quickly, and he did not give them into the hand of Joshua.

O Anjo do Senhor em Boquim
2 O Anjo do Senhor foi de Gilgal a Boquim e disse aos israelitas:
— Eu tirei vocês da terra do Egito e os trouxe à terra que havia prometido aos seus pais. Eu disse: “Nunca quebrarei a aliança que fiz com vocês. 2 Não façam nenhum acordo com os moradores desta terra. Pelo contrário, derrubem os altares deles.” Mas vocês não fizeram o que eu disse. Em vez disso, vejam o que fizeram! 3 Agora eu digo que não tirarei este povo do caminho de vocês. Eles serão seus inimigos, e os deuses deles vão ser tentações para vocês.
4 Quando o Anjo terminou de falar, todo o povo de Israel começou a chorar. 5 Por isso aquele lugar é chamado de Boquim. E ali eles ofereceram sacrifícios a Deus, o Senhor.
A morte de Josué
6 Josué mandou embora todo o povo de Israel, e cada homem foi tomar conta do seu pedaço de terra. 7 O povo de Israel serviu a Deus, o Senhor, enquanto Josué viveu. Depois que ele morreu, eles ainda continuaram a servir o Senhor enquanto viveram os líderes que tinham visto tudo o que o Senhor havia feito por Israel.
8 Josué, filho de Num, servo do Senhor, morreu com a idade de cento e dez anos. 9 Ele foi sepultado no seu próprio pedaço de terra, em Timnate-Heres, na região montanhosa de Efraim, ao norte do monte Gaás. 10 Todas as pessoas daquela geração também morreram e os seus filhos esqueceram o Senhor e as coisas que ele havia feito pelo povo de Israel.
O povo de Israel abandona o Senhor
11 Então o povo de Israel pecou contra Deus, o Senhor, adorando os deuses dos cananeus. 12 Eles deixaram de adorar o Senhor, o Deus dos seus antepassados, que os havia tirado do Egito. Começaram a seguir outros deuses, os deuses dos povos que viviam ao seu redor. Eles adoraram esses deuses e assim fizeram o Senhor ficar muito irado. 13 Abandonaram a Deus, o Senhor, e adoraram Baal e Astarote. 14 O Senhor ficou muito irado com o povo de Israel e deixou que eles fossem atacados e roubados por povos vizinhos. Ele entregou os israelitas nas mãos dos inimigos que viviam ao redor, e por isso eles não puderam mais resistir. 15 Sempre que saíam para lutar, o Senhor ficava contra eles, como tinha dito. Assim eles ficaram numa situação muito difícil.
16 Então o Senhor Deus deu ao povo de Israel líderes fortes, chamados juízes, que os salvaram dos que os atacavam e roubavam. 17 Mas eles não deram atenção a esses líderes. Continuaram a desprezar a Deus e a adorar outros deuses. Os pais deles haviam obedecido aos mandamentos do Senhor, mas eles não obedeceram. 18 O Senhor lhes dava um líder e o ajudava. Enquanto esse líder vivia, o Senhor salvava o povo dos seus inimigos. Ele tinha pena dos israelitas porque eles sofriam na escravidão. 19 Mas, quando o líder morria, eles voltavam a viver como antes e se tornavam ainda piores do que os seus pais. Iam atrás de outros deuses, e os serviam, e adoravam. Teimavam em continuar nos seus maus caminhos. 20 Por isso o Senhor Deus ficou muito irado com o povo de Israel e disse:
— Esta nação quebrou a aliança que eu mandei que os seus antepassados guardassem. E, porque eles não me têm obedecido, 21 não expulsarei mais desta terra nenhuma das nações que Josué deixou quando morreu. 22 Assim verei se os israelitas seguirão fielmente os meus caminhos, como os seus antepassados seguiram.
23 Assim o Senhor não expulsou logo da terra as nações que ele não tinha entregado a Josué, mas deixou que ficassem ali.

The Angel of the Lord at Bokim
2 The angel of the Lord(A) went up from Gilgal(B) to Bokim(C) and said, “I brought you up out of Egypt(D) and led you into the land I swore to give to your ancestors.(E) I said, ‘I will never break my covenant with you,(F) 2 and you shall not make a covenant with the people of this land,(G) but you shall break down their altars.(H)’ Yet you have disobeyed(I) me. Why have you done this? 3 And I have also said, ‘I will not drive them out before you;(J) they will become traps(K) for you, and their gods will become snares(L) to you.’”
4 When the angel of the Lord had spoken these things to all the Israelites, the people wept aloud,(M) 5 and they called that place Bokim.[a](N) There they offered sacrifices to the Lord.
Disobedience and Defeat(O)
6 After Joshua had dismissed the Israelites, they went to take possession of the land, each to their own inheritance. 7 The people served the Lord throughout the lifetime of Joshua and of the elders who outlived him and who had seen all the great things the Lord had done for Israel.(P)
8 Joshua son of Nun,(Q) the servant of the Lord, died at the age of a hundred and ten. 9 And they buried him in the land of his inheritance, at Timnath Heres[b](R) in the hill country of Ephraim, north of Mount Gaash.
10 After that whole generation had been gathered to their ancestors, another generation grew up who knew neither the Lord nor what he had done for Israel.(S) 11 Then the Israelites did evil(T) in the eyes of the Lord(U) and served the Baals.(V) 12 They forsook the Lord, the God of their ancestors, who had brought them out of Egypt. They followed and worshiped various gods(W) of the peoples around them.(X) They aroused(Y) the Lord’s anger(Z) 13 because they forsook(AA) him and served Baal and the Ashtoreths.(AB) 14 In his anger(AC) against Israel the Lord gave them into the hands(AD) of raiders who plundered(AE) them. He sold them(AF) into the hands of their enemies all around, whom they were no longer able to resist.(AG) 15 Whenever Israel went out to fight, the hand of the Lord was against them(AH) to defeat them, just as he had sworn to them. They were in great distress.(AI)
16 Then the Lord raised up judges,[c](AJ) who saved(AK) them out of the hands of these raiders. 17 Yet they would not listen to their judges but prostituted(AL) themselves to other gods(AM) and worshiped them.(AN) They quickly turned(AO) from the ways of their ancestors, who had been obedient to the Lord’s commands.(AP) 18 Whenever the Lord raised up a judge for them, he was with the judge and saved(AQ) them out of the hands of their enemies as long as the judge lived; for the Lord relented(AR) because of their groaning(AS) under those who oppressed and afflicted(AT) them. 19 But when the judge died, the people returned to ways even more corrupt(AU) than those of their ancestors,(AV) following other gods and serving and worshiping them.(AW) They refused to give up their evil practices and stubborn(AX) ways.
20 Therefore the Lord was very angry(AY) with Israel and said, “Because this nation has violated the covenant(AZ) I ordained for their ancestors and has not listened to me, 21 I will no longer drive out(BA) before them any of the nations Joshua left when he died. 22 I will use them to test(BB) Israel and see whether they will keep the way of the Lord and walk in it as their ancestors did.” 23 The Lord had allowed those nations to remain; he did not drive them out at once by giving them into the hands of Joshua.(BC)
