Josué 4
1 E quando toda a nação acabou de passar o Jordão, o SENHOR falou a Josué, dizendo:
And it came to pass when the whole nation had completely gone over the Jordan, that Jehovah spoke to Joshua, saying,
2 Tomai do povo doze homens, de cada tribo um,
Take you twelve men out of the people, one man out of every tribe,
3 E mandai-lhes, dizendo: Tomai-vos daqui do meio do Jordão, do lugar de onde estão firmes os pés dos sacerdotes, doze pedras, as quais passareis convosco, e as assentareis no alojamento de onde haveis de passar a noite.
and command them, saying, Take up hence out of the midst of the Jordan, from the place where the priests' feet stood firm, twelve stones, and carry them over with you, and lay them down in the lodging-place where ye shall lodge this night.
4 Então Josué chamou aos doze homens, os quais ele havia ordenado dentre os filhos de Israel, de cada tribo um;
And Joshua called the twelve men, whom he had appointed of the children of Israel, a man out of every tribe;
5 E disse-lhes Josué: Passai diante da arca do SENHOR vosso Deus ao meio do Jordão; e cada um de vós tome uma pedra sobre seu ombro, conforme ao número das tribos dos filhos de Israel;
and Joshua said to them, Pass before the ark of Jehovah your God into the midst of the Jordan, and lift up each of you a stone [and put it] upon his shoulder, according to the number of the tribes of the children of Israel,
6 Para que isto seja sinal entre vós; e quando vossos filhos perguntarem a seus pais amanhã, dizendo: “Que vos significam estas pedras?”
that this may be a sign in your midst. When your children ask hereafter, saying, What mean ye by these stones?
7 Então vós lhes respondereis: “As águas do Jordão foram interrompidas diante da arca do pacto do SENHOR; quando ela passou pelo Jordão, as águas do Jordão se separaram; e estas pedras serão por memorial aos filhos de Israel para sempre.
then ye shall say to them, That the waters of the Jordan were cut off before the ark of the covenant of Jehovah; when it went through the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan were cut off. And these stones shall be for a memorial unto the children of Israel for ever.
8 E os filhos de Israel o fizeram assim como Josué havia lhes mandado, e levantaram doze pedras do meio do Jordão, como o SENHOR havia dito a Josué, conforme o número das tribos dos filhos de Israel; e levaram-nas consigo ao alojamento, e ali as puseram.
And the children of Israel did so, as Joshua had commanded, and took up twelve stones out of the midst of the Jordan, as Jehovah had spoken to Joshua, according to the number of the tribes of the children of Israel; and they carried them over with them to the lodging-place, and laid them down there.
9 Josué também levantou doze pedras no meio do Jordão, no lugar onde estiveram os pés dos sacerdotes que levavam a arca do pacto; e ali estão até hoje.
And twelve stones did Joshua set up in the midst of the Jordan, in the place where the feet of the priests who bore the ark of the covenant had stood firm; and they are there to this day.
10 Pois os sacerdotes que levavam a arca ficaram parados no meio do Jordão, até que se cumpriu tudo o que o SENHOR havia mandado a Josué dizer ao povo, conforme tudo quanto Moisés havia ordenado a Josué; e o povo apressou-se e passou.
And the priests who bore the ark stood in the midst of the Jordan, until everything was finished that Jehovah had commanded Joshua to speak unto the people, according to all that Moses had commanded Joshua. And the people hasted and passed over.
11 E sucedeu quando todo o povo acabou de passar, então passaram a arca do SENHOR, e os sacerdotes, na presença do povo.
And it came to pass, when all the people had completely gone over, that the ark of Jehovah went over, and the priests, in the presence of the people.
12 Também os filhos de Rúben, os filhos de Gade, e a meia tribo de Manassés, passaram armados diante dos filhos de Israel, como Moisés havia lhes dito;
And the children of Reuben, and the children of Gad, and the half tribe of Manasseh, went over in array before the children of Israel, as Moses had spoken to them.
13 cerca de quarenta mil homens prontamente armados passaram ó diante do SENHOR para a batalha, às campina de Jericó.
About forty thousand armed for military service passed over before Jehovah to the war, unto the plains of Jericho.
14 Naquele dia o SENHOR engrandeceu Josué à vista de todo Israel; e temeram-no, como haviam temido a Moisés, todos os dias de sua vida.
On that day Jehovah magnified Joshua in the sight of all Israel; and they feared him, as they had feared Moses, all the days of his life.
15 E o SENHOR falou a Josué, dizendo:
And Jehovah spoke to Joshua, saying,
16 “Manda os sacerdotes que levam a arca do testemunho, que subam do Jordão”.
Command the priests who bear the ark of the testimony, that they come up out of the Jordan.
17 E Josué mandou os sacerdotes, dizendo: “Subi do Jordão”.
And Joshua commanded the priests, saying, Come up out of the Jordan.
18 E aconteceu que quando os sacerdotes que levavam a arca do pacto do SENHOR subiram do meio do Jordão, e as plantas dos pés dos sacerdotes estiveram em seco, as águas do Jordão voltaram ao seu lugar, correndo como antes sobre todas as suas margens.
And it came to pass when the priests who bore the ark of the covenant of Jehovah had come up out of the midst of the Jordan, [when] the soles of the priests' feet were lifted up on to the dry land, that the waters of the Jordan returned to their place, and they flowed as previously, over all its banks.
19 E o povo subiu do Jordão no dia dez do mês primeiro, e assentaram o acampamento em Gilgal, ao lado oriental de Jericó.
And the people came up out of the Jordan on the tenth of the first month, and encamped in Gilgal, on the eastern extremity of Jericho.
20 E Josué erigiu em Gilgal as doze pedras que haviam trazido do Jordão.
And those twelve stones which they had taken out of the Jordan did Joshua set up in Gilgal.
21 E falou aos filhos de Israel, dizendo: Quando amanhã perguntarem vossos filhos a seus pais, e disserem: Que vos significam estas pedras?
And he spoke to the children of Israel, saying, When your children hereafter ask their fathers, saying, What [mean] these stones?
22 Declarareis a vossos filhos, dizendo: Israel passou em seco por este Jordão.
then ye shall let your children know, saying, On dry land did Israel come over this Jordan;
23 Porque o SENHOR vosso Deus secou as águas do Jordão diante de vós, até que havíeis passado, à maneira que o SENHOR vosso Deus o havia feito no mar Vermelho, ao qual secou diante de nós até que passamos:
because Jehovah your God dried up the waters of the Jordan from before you, until ye had passed over, as Jehovah your God did to the Red sea, which he dried up from before us, until we had passed over;
24 Para que todos os povos da terra conheçam a mão do SENHOR, que é forte; para que temais ao SENHOR vosso Deus todos os dias.
that all peoples of the earth might know the hand of Jehovah, that it is mighty; that ye might fear Jehovah your God continually.
