Josué 7
|
| But the children of Israel did wrong about the cursed thing: for Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the family of Judah, took of the cursed thing, moving the Lord to wrath against the children of Israel. | Mas os filhos de Israel cometeram uma transgressão no tocante ao anátema, pois Acã, filho de Carmi, filho de Zabdi, filho de Zerá, da tribo de Judá, tomou do anátema; e a ira do Senhor se acendeu contra os filhos de Israel. |
| Now Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai, which is by the side of Beth-aven, on the east side of Beth-el, and said to them, Go up and make a search through the land. And the men went up and saw how Ai was placed. | Josué enviou de Jericó alguns homens a Ai, que está junto a Bete-Áven ao Oriente de Betel, e disse-lhes: Subi, e espiai a terra. Subiram, pois, aqueles homens, e espiaram a Ai. |
| Then they came back to Joshua and said to him, Do not send all the people up, but let about two or three thousand men go up and make an attack on Ai; there is no need for all the people to be tired with the journey there, for it is only a small town. | Voltaram a Josué, e disseram-lhe: Não suba todo o povo; subam uns dois ou três mil homens, e destruam a Ai. Não fatigues ali a todo o povo, porque os habitantes são poucos. |
| So about three thousand of the people went up, and were sent in flight by the men of Ai. | Assim, subiram lá do povo cerca de três mil homens, os quais fugiram diante dos homens de Ai. |
| The men of Ai put to death about thirty-six of them, driving them from before the town as far as the stoneworks, and overcoming them on the way down: and the hearts of the people became like water. | E os homens de Ai mataram deles cerca de trinta e seis e, havendo-os perseguido desde a porta até Sebarim, bateram-nos na descida; e o coração do povo se derreteu e se tornou como água. |
| Then Joshua, in great grief, went down on the earth before the ark of the Lord till the evening, and all the chiefs of Israel with him, and they put dust on their heads. | Então Josué rasgou as suas vestes, e se prostrou com o rosto em terra perante a arca do Senhor até a tarde, ele e os anciãos de Israel; e deitaram pó sobre as suas cabeças. |
| And Joshua said, O Lord God, why have you taken us over Jordan only to give us up into the hands of the Amorites for our destruction? If only it had been enough for us to keep on the other side of Jordan! | E disse Josué: Ah, Senhor Deus! por que fizeste a este povo atravessar o Jordão, para nos entregares nas mãos dos amorreus, para nos fazeres perecer? Oxalá nos tivéssemos contentado em morarmos além do Jordão. |
| O Lord, what am I to say now that Israel have given way before their attackers? | Ah, Senhor! que direi, depois que Israel virou as costas diante dos seus inimigos? |
| For when the news comes to the Canaanites and all the people of the land, they will come up, shutting us in and cutting off our name from the earth: and what will you do for the honour of your great name? | Pois os cananeus e todos os moradores da terra o ouvirão e, cercando-nos, exterminarão da terra o nosso nome; e então, que farás pelo teu grande nome? |
| Then the Lord said to Joshua, Get up; what are you doing with your face to the earth? | Respondeu o Senhor a Josué: Levanta-te! por que estás assim prostrado com o rosto em terra? |
| Israel has done wrong, sinning against the agreement which I made with them: they have even taken of the cursed thing; acting falsely like thieves they have put it among their goods. | Israel pecou; eles transgrediram o meu pacto que lhes tinha ordenado; tomaram do anátema, furtaram-no e, dissimulando, esconderam-no entre a sua bagagem. |
| For this reason the children of Israel have given way, turning their backs in flight before their attackers, because they are cursed: I will no longer be with you, if you do not put the cursed thing away from among you. | Por isso os filhos de Israel não puderam subsistir perante os seus inimigos, viraram as costas diante deles, porquanto se fizeram anátema. Não serei mais convosco, se não destruirdes o anátema do meio de vós. |
| Up! make the people holy; say to them, Make yourselves holy before tomorrow, for the Lord, the God of Israel, has said, There is a cursed thing among you, O Israel, and you will give way before your attackers in the fight till the cursed thing has been taken away from among you. | Levanta-te santifica o povo, e dize-lhe: Santificai-vos para amanhã, pois assim diz o Senhor, o Deus de Israel: Anátema há no meio de ti, Israel; não poderás suster-te diante dos teus inimigos, enquanto não tirares do meio de ti o anátema. |
| So in the morning you are to come near, tribe by tribe; and the tribe marked out by the Lord is to come near, family by family; and the family marked out by the Lord is to come near, house by house; and the house marked out by the Lord is to come near, man by man. | Amanhã, pois, vos chegareis, segundo as vossas tribos; a tribo que o Senhor tomar se chegará por famílias; a família que o Senhor tomar se chegará por casas; e a casa que o Senhor tomar se chegará homem por homem. |
| Then the man who is taken with the cursed thing is to be burned, with everything which is his; because he has gone against the agreement of the Lord and has done an act of shame in Israel. | E aquele que for tomado com o anátema, será queimado no fogo, ele e tudo quanto tiver, porquanto transgrediu o pacto do Senhor, e fez uma loucura em Israel. |
| So Joshua got up early in the morning, and made Israel come before him by their tribes; and the tribe of Judah was taken; | Então Josué se levantou de madrugada, e fez chegar Israel segundo as suas tribos, e foi tomada por sorte a tribo de Judá; |
| Then he made Judah come forward, and the family of the Zerahites was taken; and he made the family of the Zerahites come forward man by man; and Zabdi was taken; | fez chegar a tribo de Judá, e foi tomada a família dos zeraítas; fez chegar a familia dos zeraítas, homem por homem, e foi tomado Zabdi; |
| Then the house of Zabdi came forward man by man, and Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, was taken. | fez chegar a casa de Zabdi, homem por homem, e foi tomado Acã, filho de Carmi, filho de Zabdi, filho de Zerá, da tribo de Judá. |
| And Joshua said to Achan, My son, give glory and praise to the Lord, the God of Israel; give me word now of what you have done, and keep nothing back from me. | Então disse Josué a Acã: Filho meu, dá, peço-te, glória ao Senhor Deus de Israel, e faze confissão perante ele. Declara-me agora o que fizeste; não mo ocultes. |
| And Achan, answering, said to Joshua, Truly I have done wrong against the Lord, the God of Israel, and this is what I have done: | Respondeu Acã a Josué: Verdadeiramente pequei contra o Senhor Deus de Israel, e eis o que fiz: |
| When I saw among their goods a fair robe of Babylon and two hundred shekels of silver, and a mass of gold, fifty shekels in weight, I was overcome by desire and took them; and they are put away in the earth in my tent, and the silver is under it. | quando vi entre os despojos uma boa capa babilônica, e duzentos siclos de prata, e uma cunha de ouro do peso de cinqüenta siclos, cobicei-os e tomei-os; eis que estão escondidos na terra, no meio da minha tenda, e a prata debaixo da capa. |
| So Joshua sent men quickly, and looking in his tent, they saw where the robe had been put away secretly with the silver under it. | Então Josué enviou mensageiros, que foram correndo à tenda; e eis que tudo estava escondido na sua tenda, estando a prata debaixo da capa. |
| And they took them from the tent and came back with them to Joshua and the children of Israel, and put them before the Lord. | Tomaram, pois, aquelas coisas do meio da tenda, e as trouxeram a Josué e a todos os filhos de Israel; e as puseram perante o Senhor. |
| Then Joshua and all Israel took Achan, the son of Zerah, and the silver and the robe and the mass of gold, and his sons and his daughters and his oxen and his asses and his sheep and his tent and everything he had; and they took them up into the valley of Achor. | Então Josué e todo o Israel com ele tomaram Acã, filho de Zerá, e a prata, a capa e a cunha de ouro, e seus filhos e suas filhas, e seus bois, jumentos e ovelhas, e a sua tenda, e tudo quanto tinha, e levaram-nos ao vale de Acor. |
| And Joshua said, Why have you been a cause of trouble to us? Today the Lord will send trouble on you. And all Israel took part in stoning him; they had him stoned to death and then burned with fire. | E disse Josué: Por que nos perturbaste? hoje o Senhor te perturbará a ti: E todo o Israel o apedrejou; queimaram-nos no fogo, e os apedrejaram: |
| And over him they put a great mass of stones, which is there to this day; then the heat of the Lord's wrath was turned away. So that place was named, The Valley of Achor, to this day. | E levantaram sobre ele um grande montão de pedras, que permanece até o dia de hoje. E o Senhor se apartou do ardor da sua ira. Por isso se chama aquele lugar até hoje o vale de Acor. |
