Joshua 10
1 Adoni-zedek, king of Jerusalem, learned that Joshua had captured Ai and destroyed the town completely, as he had also done to Jericho, and had killed its king, just as he had the king of Jericho. He also heard that the Gibeonites had made peace with the Israelites and were allied with them.
E sucedeu que, ouvindo Adonizedek, rei de Jerusalém, que Josué tomara a Hai, e a tinha destruído totalmente, e fizera a Hai e ao seu rei como tinha feito a Jericó e ao seu rei, e que os moradores de Gibeon fizeram paz com os israelitas, e estavam no meio deles,
2 The people of Jerusalem were very frightened by this because Gibeon was a large town—as large as any town ruled by the king, and larger than Ai, and its men were tough fighters.
Temeram muito: porque Gibeon era uma cidade grande como uma das cidades reais, e ainda maior do que Hai, e todos os seus homens valentes.
3 So Adoni-zedek, king of Jerusalem, sent a message to Hoham, king of Hebron, Piram, king of Jarmuth, Japhia, king of Lachish, and Debir, king of Eglon, saying,
Pelo que Adonizedek, rei de Jerusalém, enviou a Hoham, rei de Hebron, e a Piram, rei de Jarmuth, e a Jafia, rei de Lachis, e a Debir, rei de Eglon, dizendo:
4 “Come and help me attack Gibeon because they have made peace with Joshua and the Israelites.”
Subi a mim, e ajudai-me, e firamos a Gibeon: porquanto fez paz com Josué e com os filhos de Israel.
5 So these five Amorite kings (the kings of Jerusalem, Hebron, Jarmuth, Lachish, and Eglon) and their armies gathered and set off. They surrounded Gibeon and then began their attack.
Então se ajuntaram, e subiram cinco reis dos amorreus, o rei de Jerusalém, o rei de Hebron, o rei de Jarmuth, o rei de Lachis, o rei de Eglon, eles e todos os seus exércitos: e sitiaram a Gibeon e pelejaram contra ela.
6 The Gibeonites sent a message to Joshua at the camp in Gilgal, saying, “Please don't abandon us, your servants! Come quickly and save us! We need your help for all the Amorite kings of the hill country have joined in attacking us.”
Enviaram pois os homens de Gibeon a Josué ao arraial de Gilgal, dizendo: Não retires as tuas mãos de teus servos; sobe apressadamente a nós, e livra-nos, e ajuda-nos, porquanto todos os reis dos amorreus, que habitam na montanha, se ajuntaram contra nós
7 So Joshua, all his fighting men and best fighters, set off from Gilgal.
Então subiu Josué de Gilgal, ele e toda a gente de guerra com ele, e todos os valentes e valorosos.
8 The Lord had said to Joshua, “Don't be afraid of them, for you will defeat them. Not a single one will be able to stand against you.”
E o Senhor disse a Josué: Não os temas, porque os tenho dado na tua mão: nenhum deles parará diante de ti.
9 By marching all night from Gilgal, Joshua arrived without warning.
E Josué lhes sobreveio de repente, porque toda a noite veio subindo desde Gilgal.
10 The Lord threw the Amorite armies into a panic when they saw the Israelites. He struck them down with a great blow at Gibeon; he chased them all the way up to Beth-horon, cutting them down on the way to Azekah and Makkedah.
E o Senhor os conturbou diante de Israel, e os feriu de grande ferida em Gibeon: e seguiu-os pelo caminho que sobe a Bethoron, e os feriu até Azeka e a Makeda.
11 As they ran away from the Israelites down the slope from Beth-horon, the Lord hurled large hailstones down on them from the skies all the way to Azekah. More were killed by the hailstones than we killed by the swords of the Israelites.
E sucedeu que, fugindo eles diante de Israel, à descida de Bethoron, o Senhor lançou sobre eles, do céu, grandes pedras até Azeka, e morreram: e foram muitos mais os que morreram das pedras da saraiva do que os que os filhos de Israel mataram à espada.
12 On the day that the Lord handed the Amorites over to the Israelites, Joshua spoke by the Lord in the presence of the Israelites, saying, “Sun, stand still over Gibeon! Moon, stand still over the Valley of Aijalon!”
Então Josué falou ao Senhor, no dia em que o Senhor deu os amorreus na mão dos filhos de Israel, e disse aos olhos dos israelitas: Sol, detem-te em Gibeon, e tu, lua, no vale de Ajalon.
13 The sun stopped moving, and the moon stood still, until the nation of Israel had inflicted defeat on their enemies. (This is recorded in the Book of Jashar). The sun stopped in the middle of the sky and did not go down for around a full day.
E o sol se deteve, e a lua parou, até que o povo se vingou de seus inimigos. Isto não está escrito no livro do reto? O sol pois se deteve no meio do céu, e não se apressou a pôr-se, quase um dia inteiro.
14 There wasn't a day like this ever before or since when the Lord listened to a human voice in such a way. It was because the Lord was fighting for Israel.
E não houve dia semelhante a este, nem antes nem depois dele, ouvindo o Senhor assim a voz dum homem: porque o Senhor pelejava por Israel.
15 Then Joshua and all the army returned to the camp at Gilgal.
E tornou-se Josué, e todo o Israel com ele, ao arraial a Gilgal.
16 The five kings had run away and hid in a cave at Makkedah.
Aqueles cinco reis, porém, fugiram, e se esconderam numa cova em Makeda.
17 When Joshua was told that the five kings were hiding in a cave at Makkedah,
E foi anunciado a Josué, dizendo: Acharam-se os cinco reis escondidos numa cova em Makeda.
18 he gave this order, “Roll some large stones to block the entrance to the cave and have some men guard it.
Disse pois Josué: arrojai grandes pedras à boca da cova, e ponde sobre ela homens que os guardem:
19 But don't you stay there. Chase the enemy down and attack them from the rear. Don't let them escape to their towns for the Lord has given them to you to defeat.”
Porém vos não vos detenhais; segui os vossos inimigos, e feri os que ficaram atráz: não os deixeis entrar nas suas cidades, porque o Senhor vosso Deus já vo-los deu na vossa mão
20 So Joshua and the Israelites totally defeated them, striking them down and killing them. Only a few of them survived to escape back to their towns.
E sucedeu que, acabando Josué e os filhos de Israel de os ferir a grande ferida, até consumi-los, e que os que ficaram deles se retiraram às cidades fortes,
21 The army returned to Joshua at the camp at Makkedah, and no one dared even to threaten the Israelites.
Todo o povo se tornou em paz a Josué, ao arraial em Makeda: não havendo ninguém que movesse a sua língua contra os filhos de Israel.
22 Then Joshua said, “Open the cave entrance and bring out the five kings to me from the cave.”
Depois disse Josué: Abri a boca da cova, e trazei-me aqueles cinco reis para fora da cova.
23 So they did, bringing out the five kings from the cave—the kings of Jerusalem, Hebron, Jarmuth, Lachish, and Eglon.
Fizeram pois assim, e trouxeram-lhe aqueles cinco reis para fora da cova: o rei de Jerusalém, o rei de Hebron, o rei de Jarmuth, o rei de Lachis, e o rei de Eglon.
24 When they had brought the kings to Joshua, he summoned all the fighting men, and said to the commanders who had gone with him, “Come here, and put your feet on the necks of these kings.” So they came over and put their feet on their necks.
E sucedeu que, trazendo aqueles reis a Josué, Josué chamou todos os homens de Israel, e disse aos capitães da gente de guerra, que com ele foram: chegai, ponde os vossos pés sobre os pescoços destes reis. E chegaram, e puseram os seus pés sobre os seus pescoços.
25 Joshua said to them, “Don't ever be afraid or discouraged! Be strong and be brave! For the Lord is going to do the same thing to all your enemies that you're going to fight!”
Então Josué lhes disse: Não temais, nem vos espanteis: esforçai-vos e animae-vos; porque assim o fará o Senhor a todos os vossos inimigos, contra os quais pelejardes.
26 Then Joshua killed the kings and hung their bodies on five trees and left them hanging there until the evening.
E, depois disto, Josué os feriu e os matou, e os enforcou em cinco madeiros: e ficaram enforcados nos madeiros até à tarde.
27 As the sun went down Joshua gave the order to take their bodies down from the trees and throw them into the cave where they had been hiding. Then the Israelites piled up stones over the entrance to the cave, and they are there to this very day.
E sucedeu que, ao tempo do pôr do sol, deu Josué ordem que os tirassem dos madeiros: e lançaram-nos na cova onde se esconderam: e puseram grandes pedras à boca da cova, que ainda ali estão até ao mesmo dia de hoje.
28 That day Joshua captured Makkedah, killing all its inhabitants, including the king. He set it apart and completely destroyed it and everyone in it, leaving no survivors. He killed the king of Makkedah just as he had killed the king of Jericho.
E naquele mesmo dia tomou Josué a Makeda, e feriu-a a fio de espada, e destruiu o seu rei, a eles, e a toda a alma que nela havia; nada deixou de resto: e fez ao rei de Makeda como fizera ao rei de Jericó.
29 Then Joshua and the Israelite army left Makkedah and went to attack Libnah,
Então Josué e todo o Israel com ele passou de Makeda a Libna, e pelejou contra Libna;
30 and the Lord gave the town and its king to the Israelites. Joshua had everyone in it killed, leaving no survivors. He killed its king just as he had killed the king of Jericho.
E também o Senhor a deu na mão de Israel, a ela e a seu rei, e a feriu a fio de espada, a ela e a toda a alma que nela havia; nada deixou de resto: e fez ao seu rei como fizera ao rei de Jericó.
31 Then Joshua and the Israelite army moved on from Libnah to Lachish, surrounding the town and attacking it.
Então Josué, e todo o Israel com ele, passou de Libna a Lachis: e a sitiou, e pelejou contra ela;
32 The Lord gave the town to the Israelites who captured it on the second day. Joshua had everyone in it killed, just as he had done in Libnah.
E o Senhor deu a Lachis na mão de Israel, e tomou-a no dia seguinte, e a feriu a fio de espada, a ela, e a toda a alma que nela havia, conforme a tudo o que fizera a Libna.
33 Then Horam, king of Gezer, came with his army to help Lachish, but Joshua and his men killed them, leaving no survivors.
Então Horan, rei de Gezer, subiu a ajudar a Lachis: porém Josué o feriu, a ele e ao seu povo, até que nenhum lhe deixou de resto.
34 Joshua and the Israelite army moved on from Lachish to Eglon, surrounding the town and attacking it.
E Josué, e todo o Israel com ele, passou de Lachis a Eglon: e a sitiaram, e pelejaram contra ela:
35 They captured it the same day. Joshua had everyone in it killed that very day. He set it apart and completely destroyed it, just as he had done in Lachish.
E no mesmo dia a tomaram, e a feriram a fio de espada; e a toda a alma, que nela havia, destruiu totalmente no mesmo dia: conforme a tudo o que fizera a Lachis.
36 Joshua and the Israelite army left Eglon and went to attack Hebron.
Depois Josué, e todo o Israel com ele, subiu de Eglon a Hebron, e pelejaram contra ela;
37 They captured the town, as well as the towns nearby. Joshua had all the inhabitants killed, leaving no survivors. Just as he had done in Eglon, he set it apart and completely destroyed it and everyone in it.
E a tomaram, e a feriram ao fio de espada, assim ao seu rei como a todas as suas cidades; e a toda a alma, que nelas havia, a ninguém deixou com vida, conforme a tudo o que fizera a Eglon: e a destruiu totalmente, a ela e a toda a alma que nela havia.
38 Then Joshua and the Israelite army turned and went to attack Debir.
Então Josué, e todo o Israel com ele, tornou a Debir, e pelejou contra ela;
39 He captured it and its king and all the towns nearby. Joshua had all the inhabitants killed, leaving no survivors. Just as he had done in Hebron, he set it apart and completely destroyed it and everyone in it. He killed the king of Debir just as he had killed the king of Libnah.
E tomou-a com o seu rei, e a todas as suas cidades, e as feriram a fio de espada, e a toda a alma que nelas havia destruiram totalmente, nada deixou de resto: como fizera a Hebron, assim fez a Debir e ao seu rei, e como fizera a Libna e ao seu rei.
40 So Joshua conquered the whole land—the hill country, the Negev, the foothills, and the slopes—and all their kings. He didn't leave a single survivor. He killed everyone as the Lord, the God of Israel, had commanded.
Assim feriu Josué toda aquela terra, as montanhas, o sul, e as campinas, e as descidas das águas, e a todos os seus reis; nada deixou de resto: mas tudo o que tinha fôlego destruiu, como ordenara o Senhor Deus de Israel.
41 Joshua destroyed them from Kadesh-barnea to Gaza and the whole of the land from Goshen to Gibeon.
E Josué os feriu desde Cades-barnea, e até Gaza: como também toda a terra de Gosen, e até Gibeon.
42 All the kings and their lands were conquered by Joshua in one campaign because the Lord, the God of Israel, was fighting for the Israelites.
E de uma vez tomou Josué todos estes reis, e as suas terras: porquanto o Senhor Deus de Israel pelejava por Israel.
43 Joshua and the Israelite army then returned to the camp at Gilgal.
Então Josué, e todo o Israel com ele, se tornou ao arraial em Gilgal.
