Joshua 10
|
| Quando Adoni-Zedeque, rei de Jerusalém, ouviu que Josué tomara a Ai, e a destruíra totalmente , e que os moradores de Gibeão tinham feito paz com os israelitas, e estavam no meio deles, | Now when it came to the ears of Adoni-zedek, king of Jerusalem, that Joshua had taken Ai, and had given it up to the curse (for as he had done to Jericho and its king, so he had done to Ai and its king); and that the people of Gibeon had made peace with Israel and were living among them; |
| temeu muito, pois Gibeão era uma cidade grande como uma das cidades reais, e era ainda maior do que Ai, e todos os seus homens eram valorosos. | He was in great fear, because Gibeon was a great town, like one of the king's towns, greater than Ai, and all the men in it were men of war. |
| Pelo que Adoni-Zedeque, rei de Jerusalém, enviou mensageiros a Hoão, rei de Hebrom, a Pirã, rei de Jarmute, a Jafia, rei de Laquis, e a Debir, rei de Eglom, para lhes dizer: | So Adoni-zedek, king of Jerusalem, sent to Hoham, king of Hebron, and to Piram, king of Jarmuth, and to Japhia, king of Lachish, and to Debir, king of Eglon, saying, |
| Subi a mim, e ajudai-me; firamos a Gibeão, porquanto fez paz com Josué e com os filhos de Israel. | Come up to me and give me help, and let us make an attack on Gibeon: for they have made peace with Joshua and the children of Israel. |
| Então se ajuntaram, e subiram cinco reis dos amorreus, o rei de Jerusalém, o rei de Hebrom, o rei de Jarmute, o rei de Laquis, o rei de Eglom, eles e todos os seus exércitos, e sitiaram a Gibeão e pelejaram contra ela. | So the five kings of the Amorites, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, and the king of Eglon, were banded together, and went up with all their armies and took up their position before Gibeon and made war against it. |
| Enviaram, pois, os homens de Gibeão a Josué, ao arraial em Gilgal, a dizer-lhe: Não retires de teus servos a tua mão; sobe apressadamente a nós, e livra-nos, e ajuda-nos, porquanto se ajuntaram contra nós todos os reis dos amorreus, que habitam na região montanhosa. | And the men of Gibeon sent to Joshua to the tent-circle at Gilgal, saying, Be not slow to send help to your servants; come up quickly to our support and keep us safe: for all the kings of the Amorites from the hill-country have come together against us. |
| Josué, pois, subiu de Gilgal com toda a gente de guerra e todos os homens valorosos. | So Joshua went up from Gilgal with all his army and all his men of war. |
| E o Senhor disse a Josué: Não os temas, porque os entreguei na tua mão; nenhum deles te poderá resistir. | And the Lord said to Joshua, Have no fear of them, for I have given them into your hands; they will all give way before you. |
| E Josué deu de repente sobre eles, tendo marchado a noite toda, subindo de Gilgal; | So Joshua, having come up from Gilgal all night, made a sudden attack on them. |
| e o Senhor os pôs em desordem diante de Israel, que os desbaratou com grande matança em Gibeão, e os perseguiu pelo caminho que sobe a Bete-Horom, ferindo-os até Azeca e Maqueda. | And the Lord made them full of fear before Israel, and they put great numbers of them to death at Gibeon, and went after them by the way going up to Beth-horon, driving them back to Azekah and Makkedah |
| Pois, quando eles iam fugindo de diante de Israel, à descida de Bete-Horom, o Senhor lançou sobre eles, do céu, grandes pedras até Azeca, e eles morreram; e foram mais os que morreram das pedras da saraiva do que os que os filhos de Israel mataram à espada. | And in their flight before Israel, on the way down from Beth-horon, the Lord sent down great stones from heaven on them all the way to Azekah, causing their death: those whose death was caused by the stones were more than those whom the children of Israel put to death with the sword. |
| Então Josué falou ao Senhor, no dia em que o Senhor entregou os amorreus na mão dos filhos de Israel, e disse na presença de Israel: Sol, detém-se sobre Gibeão, e tu, lua, sobre o vale de Aijalom. | It was on the day when the Lord gave up the Amorites into the hands of the children of Israel that Joshua said to the Lord, before the eyes of Israel, Sun, be at rest over Gibeon; and you, O moon, in the valley of Aijalon. |
| E o sol se deteve, e a lua parou, até que o povo se vingou de seus inimigos. Não está isto escrito no livro de Jasar? O sol, pois, se deteve no meio do céu, e não se apressou a pôr-se, quase um dia inteiro. | And the sun was at rest and the moon kept its place till the nation had given punishment to their attackers. (Is it not recorded in the book of Jashar?) So the sun kept its place in the middle of the heavens, and was waiting, and did not go down, for the space of a day. |
| E não houve dia semelhante a esse, nem antes nem depois dele, atendendo o Senhor assim à voz dum homem; pois o Senhor pelejava por Israel. | And there was no day like that, before it or after it, when the Lord gave ear to the voice of a man; for the Lord was fighting for Israel. |
| Depois voltou Josué, e todo o Israel com ele, ao arraial em Gilgal. | And Joshua, with all Israel, went back to the tent-circle at Gilgal. |
| Aqueles cinco reis, porém, fugiram e se esconderam na caverna que há em Maqueda. | But these five kings went in flight secretly to a hole in the rock at Makkedah. |
| E isto foi anunciado a Josué nestas palavras: Acharam-se os cinco reis escondidos na caverna em Maqueda. | And word was given to Joshua that the five kings had been taken in a hole in the rock at Makkedah. |
| Disse, pois, Josué: Arrastai grandes pedras para a boca da caverna, e junto a ela ponde homens que os guardem. | And Joshua said, Let great stones be rolled against the mouth of the hole, and let men keep watch by it: |
| Vós, porém, não vos detenhais; persegui os vossos inimigos, matando os que vão ficando atrás; não os deixeis entrar nas suas cidades, porque o Senhor vosso Deus já vo-los entregou nas mãos. | But do you, without waiting, go after their army, attacking them from the back; do not let them get into their towns, for the Lord your God has given them into your hands. |
| Quando Josué e os filhos de Israel acabaram de os ferir com mui grande matança, até serem eles exterminados, e os que ficaram deles se retiraram às cidades fortificadas, | Now when Joshua and the children of Israel had come to the end of their war of complete destruction, and had put to death all but a small band who had got safely into the walled towns, |
| todo o povo voltou em paz a Josué, ao arraial em Maqueda. Não havia ninguém que movesse a sua língua contra os filhos de Israel. | All the people went back to Joshua to the tent-circle at Makkedah in peace: and no one said a word against the children of Israel. |
| Depois disse Josué: Abri a boca da caverna, e trazei-me para fora aqueles cinco reis. | Then Joshua said, Take away the stones from the mouth of the hole in the rock, and make those five kings come out to me. |
| Fizeram, pois, assim, e trouxeram-lhe aqueles cinco reis para fora da caverna: o rei de Jerusalém, o rei de Hebrom, o rei de Jarmute, o rei de Laquis, e o rei de Eglom. | And they did so, and made those five kings come out of the hole to him, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, and the king of Eglon. |
| Quando os trouxeram a Josué, este chamou todos os homens de Israel, e disse aos comandantes dos homens de guerra que o haviam acompanhado: Chegai-vos, ponde os pés sobre os pescoços destes reis. E eles se chegaram e puseram os pés sobre os pescoços deles. | And when they had made those kings come out to Joshua, Joshua sent for all the men of Israel, and said to the chiefs of the men of war who had gone with him, Come near and put your feet on the necks of these kings. So they came near and put their feet on their necks. |
| Então Josué lhes disse: Não temais, nem vos atemorizeis; esforçai-vos e tende bom ânimo, porque assim fará o Senhor a todos os vossos inimigos, contra os quais haveis de pelejar. | And Joshua said to them, Have no fear and do not be troubled; be strong and take heart: for so will the Lord do to all against whom you make war. |
| Depois disto Josué os feriu, e os matou, e os pendurou em cinco madeiros, onde ficaram pendurados até a tarde. | Then Joshua had them put to death, hanging them on five trees, where they were till evening. |
| Ao pôr do sol, por ordem de Josué, tiraram-nos dos madeiros, lançaram-nos na caverna em que se haviam escondido, e puseram à boca da mesma grandes pedras, que ainda ali estão até o dia de hoje. | And when the sun went down, they were taken down from the trees, by Joshua's orders, and put into the hole where they had gone to be safe; and great stones were placed at the mouth of the hole, where they are to this day. |
| Naquele mesmo dia Josué tomou a Maqueda, e feriu-a a fio de espada, bem como a seu rei; totalmente os destruiu com todos os que nela havia, sem deixar ali nem sequer um. Fez, pois, ao rei de Maqueda como fizera ao rei de Jericó. | That day Joshua took Makkedah, and put it and its king to the sword; every soul in it he gave up to the curse without mercy: and he did to the king of Makkedah as he had done to the king of Jericho. |
| De Maqueda, Josué, e todo o Israel com ele, passou a Libna, e pelejou contra ela. | Then Joshua and all Israel with him went on from Makkedah and came to Libnah, and made an attack on it; |
| E a esta também, e a seu rei, o Senhor entregou na mão de Israel, que a feriu a fio de espada com todos os que nela havia, sem deixar ali nem sequer um. Fez, pois, ao seu rei como fizera ao rei de Jericó. | And again the Lord gave it and its king into the hands of Israel; and he put it and every person in it to the sword, till their destruction was complete; and he did to its king as he had done to the king of Jericho. |
| De Libna, Josué, e todo o Israel com ele, passou a Laquis, e a sitiou, e pelejou contra ela. | Then Joshua and all Israel with him went on from Libnah to Lachish, and took up their position against it and made an attack on it, |
| O Senhor entregou também a Laquis na mão de Israel, que a tomou no segundo dia, e a feriu a fio de espada com todos os que nela havia, conforme tudo o que fizera a Libna. | And the Lord gave Lachish into the hands of Israel, and on the second day he took it, putting it and every person in it to the sword without mercy, as he had done to Libnah. |
| Então Horão, rei de Gezer, subiu para ajudar a Laquis; porém Josué o feriu, a ele e ao seu povo, até não lhe deixar nem sequer um. | Then Horam, king of Gezer, came up to the help of Lachish; and Joshua overcame him and his people, putting all of them to death. |
| De Laquis, Josué, e todo o Israel com ele, passou a Eglom, e a sitiaram, e pelejaram contra ela, | And Joshua and all Israel with him went on from Lachish to Eglon: and they took up their position against it and made an attack on it; |
| e no mesmo dia a tomaram, ferindo-a a fio de espada; destruiu totalmente nesse mesmo dia todos os que nela estavam, conforme tudo o que fizera a Laquis. | And that day they took it, putting it and every person in it to the sword, as he had done to Lachish. |
| De Eglom, Josué, e todo o Israel com ele, subiu a Hebrom; pelejaram contra ela, | And Joshua and all Israel with him went up from Eglon to Hebron, and made an attack on it; |
| tomaram-na, e a feriram ao fio da espada, bem como ao seu rei, e a todas as suas cidades, com todos os que nelas havia. A ninguém deixou com vida, mas, conforme tudo o que fizera a Eglom, a destruiu totalmente, com todos os que nela havia. | And took it, overcoming it and putting it and its king and its towns and every person in it to the sword: as he had done to Eglon, he put them all to death, and gave it up to the curse with every person in it. |
| Então Josué, e todo o Israel com ele, voltou a Debir, pelejou contra ela, | And Joshua and all Israel with him went on to make an attack on Debir; |
| e a tomou com o seu rei e com todas as suas cidades; feriu-as a fio de espada, e a todos os que nelas havia destruiu totalmente, não deixando nem sequer um. Como fizera a Hebrom, e como fizera também a Libna e ao seu rei, assim fez a Debir e ao seu rei. | And he took it, with its king and all its towns: and he put them to the sword, giving every person in it to the curse; all were put to death: as he had done to Hebron, so he did to Debir and its king. |
| Assim feriu Josué toda aquela terra, a região montanhosa, o Negebe, a baixada, e as faldas das montanhas, e a todos os seus reis. Não deixou nem sequer um; mas a tudo o que tinha fôlego destruiu totalmente, como ordenara o Senhor, o Deus de Israel: | So Joshua overcame all the land, the hill-country and the South and the lowland and the mountain slopes, and all their kings; all were put to death: and every living thing he gave up to the curse, as the Lord, the God of Israel, had given him orders. |
| Assim Josué os feriu desde Cades-Barnéia até Gaza, como também toda a terra de Gósem, até Gibeão. | Joshua overcame them from Kadesh-barnea to Gaza, and all the land of Goshen as far as Gibeon. |
| E de uma só vez tomou Josué todos esses reis e a sua terra, porquanto o Senhor, o Deus de Israel, pelejava por Israel. | And all these kings and their land Joshua took at the same time, because the Lord, the God of Israel, was fighting for Israel. |
| Então Josué, e todo o Israel com ele, voltou ao arraial em Gilgal. | Then Joshua and all Israel with him went back to their tents at Gilgal. |
