Joshua 11

Quando Jabim, rei de Hazor, ouviu isso, enviou mensageiros a Jobabe, rei de Madom, e ao rei de Sinrom, e ao rei de Acsafe, | Now Jabin, king of Hazor, hearing of these things, sent to Jobab, king of Madon, and to the king of Shimron, and to the king of Achshaph, |
e aos reis que estavam ao norte, na região montanhosa, na Arabá ao sul de Quinerote, na baixada, e nos planaltos de Dor ao ocidente; | And to the kings on the north in the hill-country, and in the Arabah south of Chinneroth, and in the lowland, and in the highlands of Dor on the west, |
ao cananeu do oriente e do ocidente, ao amorreu, ao heteu, ao perizeu, ao jebuseu na região montanhosa, e ao heveu ao pé de Hermom na terra de Mizpá. | And to the Canaanites on the east and on the west, and to the Amorites and the Hittites and the Perizzites, and the Jebusites in the hill-country, and the Hivites under Hermon in the land of Mizpah. |
Saíram pois eles, com todos os seus exércitos, muito povo, em multidão como a areia que está na praia do mar, e muitíssimos cavalos e carros. | And they went out, they and all their armies with them, a great people, in number like the sand on the seaside, with horses and war-carriages in great number. |
Todos esses reis, reunindo-se, vieram e juntos se acamparam às águas de Merom, para pelejarem contra Israel. | And all these kings came together, and put their forces in position at the waters of Merom, to make war on Israel. |
Disse o Senhor a Josué: Não os temas, pois amanhã a esta hora eu os entregarei todos mortos diante de Israel. Os seus cavalos jarretarás, e os seus carros queimarás a fogo. | And the Lord said to Joshua, Have no fear of them: for tomorrow at this time I will give them all up dead before Israel; you are to have the leg-muscles of their horses cut and their war-carriages burned with fire. |
Josué, pois, com toda a gente de guerra, sobreveio-lhes de repente às águas de Merom, e deu sobre eles. | So Joshua and all the men of war with him came against them suddenly at the waters of Merom, and made an attack on them. |
E o Senhor os entregou na mão dos israelitas, que os feriram e os perseguiram até a grande Sidom, e até Misrefote-Maim, e até o vale de Mizpe ao oriente; e feriram-nos até não lhes deixar nem sequer um. | And the Lord gave them up into the hands of Israel, and they overcame them driving them back to great Zidon and to Misrephoth-maim and into the valley of Mizpeh to the east; and they put them all to death, no man got away safely. |
Fez-lhes Josué como o Senhor lhe dissera: os seus cavalos jarretou, e os seus carros queimou a fogo. | And Joshua did to them as the Lord had said to him; he had the leg-muscles of their horses cut and their war-carriages burned with fire. |
Naquele tempo Josué voltou e tomou também a Hazor, e feriu à espada ao seu rei, porquanto Hazor dantes era a cabeça de todos estes reinos. | At that time, Joshua went on to take Hazor and put its king to the sword: for in earlier times Hazor was the chief of all those kingdoms. |
E passaram ao fio da espada a todos os que nela havia, destruindo-os totalmente; nada restou do que tinha fôlego; e a Hazor ele queimou a fogo. | And they put every person in it to death without mercy, giving every living thing up to the curse, and burning Hazor. |
Josué, pois, tomou todas as cidades desses reis, e a eles mesmos, e os passou ao fio da espada, destruindo-os totalmente, como ordenara Moisés, servo do Senhor. | And all the towns of these kings, and all the kings, Joshua took, and put them to the sword: he gave them up to the curse, as Moses, the servant of the Lord, had said. |
Contudo, quanto às cidades que se achavam sobre os seus altos, a nenhuma delas queimou Israel, salvo somente a Hazor; a essa Josué queimou. | As for the towns made on hills of earth, not one was burned by Israel but Hazor, which was burned by Joshua. |
Mas todos os despojos dessas cidades, e o gado, tomaram-nos os filhos de Israel como presa para si; porém feriram ao fio da espada todos os homens, até os destruírem; nada deixaram do que tinha fôlego de vida. | And all the goods taken from these towns, and their cattle, the children of Israel kept for themselves; but every man they put to death without mercy, till their destruction was complete, and there was no one living. |
Como o Senhor ordenara a Moisés, seu servo, assim Moisés ordenou a Josué, e assim Josué o fez; não deixou de fazer coisa alguma de tudo o que o Senhor ordenara a Moisés. | As the Lord had given orders to Moses his servant, so Moses gave orders to Joshua, and so Joshua did; every order which the Lord had given to Moses was done. |
Assim Josué tomou toda aquela terra, a região montanhosa, todo o Negebe, e toda a terra de Gósem e a baixada, e a Arabá, e a região montanhosa de Israel com a sua baixada, | So Joshua took all that land, the hill-country and all the South, and all the land of Goshen, and the lowland and the Arabah, the hill-country of Israel and its lowland; |
desde o monte Halaque, que sobe a Seir, até Baal-Gade, no vale do Líbano, ao pé do monte Hermom; também tomou todos os seus reis, e os feriu e os matou. | From Mount Halak, which goes up to Seir, as far as Baal-gad in the valley of Lebanon under Mount Hermon: and all their kings he overcame and put to death. |
Por muito tempo Josué fez guerra contra todos esses reis. | For a long time Joshua made war on all those kings. |
Não houve cidade que fizesse paz com os filhos de Israel, senão os heveus, moradores de Gibeão; a todas tomaram à força de armas. | Not one town made peace with the children of Israel, but only the Hivites of Gibeon: they took them all in war. |
Porquanto do Senhor veio o endurecimento dos seus corações para saírem à guerra contra Israel, a fim de que fossem destruídos totalmente, e não achassem piedade alguma, mas fossem exterminados, como o Senhor tinha ordenado a Moisés. | For the Lord made them strong in heart to go to war against Israel, so that he might give them up to the curse without mercy, and that destruction might come on them, as the Lord had given orders to Moses. |
Naquele tempo veio Josué, e exterminou os anaquins da região montanhosa de Hebrom, de Debir, de Anabe, de toda a região montanhosa de Judá, e de toda a região montanhosa de Israel; Josué os destruiu totalmente com as suas cidades. | And Joshua came at that time and put an end to the Anakim in the hill-country, in Hebron, in Debir, in Anab, and in all the hill-country of Judah and Israel: Joshua gave them and their towns to the curse. |
Não foi deixado nem sequer um dos anaquins na terra dos filhos de Israel; somente ficaram alguns em Gaza, em Gate, e em Asdode. | Not one of the Anakim was to be seen in the land of the children of Israel: only in Gaza, in Gath, and in Ashdod, some were still living. |
Assim Josué tomou toda esta terra conforme tudo o que o Senhor tinha dito a Moisés; e Josué a deu em herança a Israel, pelas suas divisões, segundo as suas tribos; e a terra repousou da guerra. | So Joshua took all the land, as the Lord had said to Moses; and Joshua gave it to the children of Israel as their heritage, making division of it among them by their tribes. And the land had rest from war. |
