Joshua 6
|
| Ora, Jericó se conservava rigorosamente fechada por causa dos filhos de Israel; ninguém saía nem entrava. | (Now Jericho was all shut up because of the children of Israel: there was no going out or coming in.) |
| Então disse o Senhor a Josué: Olha, entrego na tua mão Jericó, o seu rei e os seus homens valorosos. | And the Lord said to Joshua, See, I have given into your hands Jericho with its king and all its men of war. |
| Vós, pois, todos os homens de guerra, rodeareis a cidade, contornando-a uma vez por dia; assim fareis por seis dias. | Now let all your fighting-men make a circle round the town, going all round it once. Do this for six days. |
| Sete sacerdotes levarão sete trombetas de chifres de carneiros adiante da arca; e no sétimo dia rodeareis a cidade sete vezes, e os sacerdotes tocarão as trombetas. | And let seven priests go before the ark with seven loud-sounding horns in their hands: on the seventh day you are to go round the town seven times, the priests blowing their horns. |
| E será que, fazendo-se sonido prolongado da trombeta, e ouvindo vós tal sonido, todo o povo dará um grande brado; então o muro da cidade cairá rente com o chão, e o povo subirá, cada qual para o lugar que lhe ficar defronte: | And at the sound of a long note on the horns, let all the people give a loud cry; and the wall of the town will come down flat, and all the people are to go straight forward. |
| Chamou, pois, Josué, filho de Num, aos sacerdotes, e disse-lhes: Levai a arca do pacto, e sete sacerdotes levem sete trombetas de chifres de carneiros, adiante da arca do Senhor. | Then Joshua, the son of Nun, sent for the priests and said to them, Take up the ark of the agreement, and let seven priests take seven horns in their hands and go before the ark of the Lord. |
| E disse ao povo: Passai e rodeai a cidade; e marchem os homens armados adiante da arca do Senhor. | And he said to the people, Go forward, circling the town, and let the armed men go before the ark of the Lord. |
| Assim, pois, se fez como Josué dissera ao povo: os sete sacerdotes, levando as sete trombetas adiante do Senhor, passaram, e tocaram-nas; e a arca do pacto do Senhor os seguia. | So after Joshua had said this to the people, the seven priests with their seven horns went forward before the Lord, blowing on their horns: and the ark of the Lord's agreement went after them. |
| E os homens armados iam adiante dos sacerdotes que tocavam as trombetas, e a retaguarda seguia após a arca, os sacerdotes sempre tocando as trombetas. | And the armed men went before the priests who were blowing the horns, and the mass of the people went after the ark, blowing their horns. |
| Josué tinha dado ordem ao povo, dizendo: Não gritareis, nem fareis ouvir a vossa voz, nem sairá palavra alguma da vossa boca, até o dia em que eu vos disser: gritai! Então gritareis. | And to the people Joshua gave an order, saying, You will give no cry, and make no sound, and let no word go out of your mouth till the day when I say, Give a loud cry; then give a loud cry. |
| Assim fizeram a arca do Senhor rodear a cidade, contornando-a uma vez; então entraram no arraial, e ali passaram a noite. | So he made the ark of the Lord go all round the town once: then they went back to the tents for the night. |
| Josué levantou-se de madrugada, e os sacerdotes tomaram a arca do Senhor. | And early in the morning Joshua got up, and the priests took up the ark of the Lord. |
| Os sete sacerdotes que levavam as sete trombetas de chifres de carneiros adiante da arca da Senhor iam andando, tocando as trombetas; os homens armados iam adiante deles, e a retaguarda seguia atrás da arca do Senhor, os sacerdotes sempre tocando as trombetas. | And the seven priests with their seven horns went on before the ark of the Lord, blowing their horns: the armed men went before them, and the mass of the people went after the ark of the Lord, blowing their horns. |
| E rodearam a cidade uma vez no segundo dia, e voltaram ao arraial. Assim fizeram por seis dias. | The second day they went all round the town once, and then went back to their tents: and so they did for six days. |
| No sétimo dia levantaram-se bem de madrugada, e da mesma maneira rodearam a cidade sete vezes; somente naquele dia rodearam-na sete vezes. | Then on the seventh day they got up early, at the dawn of the day, and went round the town in the same way, but that day they went round it seven times. |
| E quando os sacerdotes pela sétima vez tocavam as trombetas, disse Josué ao povo: Gritai, porque o Senhor vos entregou a cidade. | And the seventh time, at the sound of the priests' horns, Joshua said to the people, Now give a loud cry; for the Lord has given you the town. |
| A cidade, porém, com tudo quanto nela houver, será danátema ao Senhor; somente a prostituta Raabe viverá, ela e todos os que com ela estiverem em casa, porquanto escondeu os mensageiros que enviamos. | And the town will be put to the curse, and everything in it will be given to the Lord: only Rahab, the loose woman, and all who are in the house with her, will be kept safe, because she kept secret the men we sent. |
| Mas quanto a vós, guardai-vos do anátema, para que, depois de o terdes feito tal, não tomeis dele coisa alguma, e não façais anátema o arraial de Israel, e o perturbeis. | And as for you, keep yourselves from the cursed thing, for fear that you may get a desire for it and take some of it for yourselves, and so be the cause of a curse and great trouble on the tents of Israel. |
| Contudo, toda a prata, e o ouro, e os vasos de bronze e de ferro, são consagrados ao Senhor; irão para o tesouro do Senhor. | But all the silver and gold and the vessels of brass and iron are holy to the Lord: they are to come into the store-house of the Lord. |
| Gritou, pois, o povo, e os sacerdotes tocaram as trombetas; ouvindo o povo o sonido da trombeta, deu um grande brado, e o muro caiu rente com o chão, e o povo subiu à cidade, cada qual para o lugar que lhe ficava defronte, e tomaram a cidade: | So the people gave a loud cry, and the horns were sounded; and on hearing the horns the people gave a loud cry, and the wall came down flat, so that the people went up into the town, every man going straight before him, and they took the town. |
| E destruíram totalmente, ao fio da espada, tudo quanto havia na cidade, homem e mulher, menino e velho, bois, ovelhas e jumentos. | And they put everything in the town to the curse; men and women, young and old, ox and sheep and ass, they put to death without mercy. |
| Então disse Josué aos dois homens que tinham espiado a terra: Entrai na casa da prostituta, e tirai-a dali com tudo quanto tiver, como lhe prometestes com juramento. | Then Joshua said to the two men who had been sent to make a search through the land, Go into the house of the loose woman, and get her out, and all who are with her, as you gave her your oath. |
| Entraram, pois, os mancebos espias, e tiraram Raabe, seu pai, sua mãe, seus irmãos, e todos quantos lhe pertenciam; e, trazendo todos os seus parentes, os puseram fora do arraial de Israel. | So the searchers went in and got out Rahab and her father and mother and her brothers and all she had, and they got out all her family; and they took them outside the tents of Israel. |
| A cidade, porém, e tudo quanto havia nela queimaram a fogo; tão-somente a prata, e o ouro, e os vasos de bronze e de ferro, colocaram-nos no tesouro da casa do Senhor. | Then, after burning up the town and everything in it, they put the silver and gold and the vessels of brass and iron into the store-house of the Lord's house. |
| Assim Josué poupou a vida à prostituta Raabe, à família de seu pai, e a todos quantos lhe pertenciam; e ela ficou habitando no meio de Israel até o dia de hoje, porquanto escondera os mensageiros que Josué tinha enviado a espiar a Jericó. | But Joshua kept Rahab, the loose woman, and her father's family and all she had, from death, and so she got a living-place among the children of Israel to this day; because she kept safe the men whom Joshua had sent to make a search through the land. |
| Também nesse tempo Josué os esconjurou, dizendo: Maldito diante do Senhor seja o homem que se levantar e reedificar esta cidade de Jericó; com a perda do seu primogênito a fundará, e com a perda do seu filho mais novo lhe colocará as portas. | Then Joshua gave the people orders with an oath, saying, Let that man be cursed before the Lord who puts his hand to the building up of this town: with the loss of his first son will he put the first stone of it in place, and with the loss of his youngest son he will put up its doors. |
| Assim era o Senhor com Josué; e corria a sua fama por toda a terra. | So the Lord was with Joshua; and news of him went through all the land. |
