Joshua 10
1 When Adonizedek, the king of Jerusalem, had heard these things, specifically, that Joshua had seized Ai, and had overthrown it, (for just as he had done to Jericho and its king, so did he do to Ai and its king, ) and that the Gibeonites had fled over to Israel, and were now their confederates,
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 he was very afraid. For Gibeon was a great city, and was one of the royal cities, and was greater than the town of Ai, and all its warriors were very strong.
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 Therefore, Adonizedek, the king of Jerusalem, sent to Hoham, the king of Hebron, and to Piram, the king of Jarmuth, and also to Japhia, the king of Lachish, and to Debir, the 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 “Ascend to me, and bring troops, so that we may fight against Gibeon. For it has fled over to Joshua and the sons of Israel.”
Subi a mim, e ajudai-me, e firamos a Gibeon: porquanto fez paz com Josué e com os filhos de Israel.
5 And so, having assembled, the five kings of the Amorites, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, the king of Eglon, together with their armies, went up and encamped around Gibeon, laying siege to it.
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 But the inhabitants of the city of Gibeon, when it was besieged, sent to Joshua, who was then staying in the camp at Gilgal. And they said to him: “May you not draw back your hands from helping your servants. Come quickly, and free us, and bring troops. For all the kings of the Amorites, who live in the mountains, have gathered together against 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 And Joshua ascended from Gilgal, and the entire army of warriors with him, very strong men.
Então subiu Josué de Gilgal, ele e toda a gente de guerra com ele, e todos os valentes e valorosos.
8 And the Lord said to Joshua: “You should not fear them. For I have delivered them into your hands. None of them will be able to withstand you.”
E o Senhor disse a Josué: Não os temas, porque os tenho dado na tua mão: nenhum deles parará diante de ti.
9 And so Joshua, ascending from Gilgal throughout the night, rushed upon them suddenly.
E Josué lhes sobreveio de repente, porque toda a noite veio subindo desde Gilgal.
10 And the Lord set them in disarray before the face of Israel. And he crushed them in a great defeat at Gibeon, and he pursued them along the way of the ascent to Beth-horon, and he struck them down, even as far as 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 And while they were fleeing from the sons of Israel, and were on the descent of Beth-horon, the Lord cast great stones from heaven upon them, as far as Azekah. And many more were killed by the hailstones, than were struck down by the swords of the sons of Israel.
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 Then Joshua spoke to the Lord, on the day that he handed over the Amorite in the sight of the sons of Israel, and he said before them: “O sun, you shall not move toward Gibeon! O moon, you shall not move toward 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 And the sun and the moon stood still, until the people had avenged themselves of their enemies. Has this not been written in the book of the just? And so the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and it did not hurry to its rest for the space of one 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 Never before and never after was there so long a day, as when the Lord obeyed the voice of a man, and fought 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 And Joshua returned, with all of Israel, into the camp of Gilgal.
E tornou-se Josué, e todo o Israel com ele, ao arraial a Gilgal.
16 For the five kings had fled, and had hidden themselves in a cave, near the city of Makkedah.
Aqueles cinco reis, porém, fugiram, e se esconderam numa cova em Makeda.
17 And it was reported to Joshua that the five kings had been found hidden in a cave, near the city of Makkedah.
E foi anunciado a Josué, dizendo: Acharam-se os cinco reis escondidos numa cova em Makeda.
18 And he instructed his companions and said: “Roll vast stones to the mouth of the cave, and station attentive men who will keep them closed.
Disse pois Josué: arrojai grandes pedras à boca da cova, e ponde sobre ela homens que os guardem:
19 But as for you, do not stay here; instead, pursue the enemies, and cut down the lattermost of those who are fleeing. You shall not permit those whom the Lord God has delivered into your hands to enter into the protection of their cities.”
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 Thus, the adversaries were struck down in a great defeat, and having been nearly consumed, even to utter annihilation, those who were able to escape from Israel entered into fortified cities.
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 And the entire army returned to Joshua at Makkedah, where they were then encamped, in good health and in their full numbers. And no one dared to move his tongue against the sons of Israel.
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 And Joshua instructed, saying, “Open the mouth of the cave, and bring forward to me the five kings, who are hidden within it.”
Depois disse Josué: Abri a boca da cova, e trazei-me aqueles cinco reis para fora da cova.
23 And the ministers did just as they had been ordered. And they led out to him the five kings from the cave: the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, the king of 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 And when they had been led out to him, he called all the men of Israel, and he said to the leaders of the army who were with him, “Go, and place your feet upon the necks of these kings.” And when they had gone and had tread their feet upon the necks of those who were thrown down,
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 he spoke to them again: “Do not be afraid, and do not dread. Be strengthened and be steadfast. For so will the Lord do to all your enemies, against whom you 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 And Joshua struck them down and killed them, and he suspended them on five gallows. And they hung there until 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 And when the sun had set, he instructed his assistants that they should take them down from the gallows. And having been taken down, they cast them into the cave, where they had lain hidden, and they set vast stones at its mouth, which remain, even to the present.
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 Also on the same day, Joshua seized Makkedah, and he struck it with the edge of the sword, and he put to death its king and all its inhabitants. He did not leave in it even the smallest remains. And he did to the king of Makkedah, just as he had done to 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 he went on, with all of Israel, from Makkedah to Libnah, and he fought against it.
Então Josué e todo o Israel com ele passou de Makeda a Libna, e pelejou contra Libna;
30 And the Lord delivered it, with its king, into the hands of Israel. And they struck the city with the edge of the sword, and all its inhabitants. They did not leave in it any remains. And they did to the king of Libnah, just as they had done to 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 From Libnah, with all of Israel, he went on to Lachish. And taking positions around it with his army, he besieged it.
Então Josué, e todo o Israel com ele, passou de Libna a Lachis: e a sitiou, e pelejou contra ela;
32 And the Lord delivered Lachish into the hands of Israel, and he seized it on the following day, and he struck it with the edge of the sword, and every soul that was in it, just as he had done to 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 At that time, Horam, the king of Gezer, went up so that he might assist Lachish. And Joshua struck him with all his people, even unto utter annihilation.
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 And he went on from Lachish to Eglon, and he surrounded it.
E Josué, e todo o Israel com ele, passou de Lachis a Eglon: e a sitiaram, e pelejaram contra ela:
35 And he also defeated it on the same day. And he struck all the souls that were in it with the edge of the sword, in accord with all that he had done to 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 He also ascended, with all of Israel, from Eglon into Hebron, and he fought against it.
Depois Josué, e todo o Israel com ele, subiu de Eglon a Hebron, e pelejaram contra ela;
37 He seized it and struck it with the edge of the sword, likewise with its king, and all the towns of that region, and all the souls that were staying in it. He did not leave any remains in it. Just as he had done to Eglon, so also did he do to Hebron, consuming with the sword all that he found within 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 Returning from there to Debir,
Então Josué, e todo o Israel com ele, tornou a Debir, e pelejou contra ela;
39 he seized it and laid waste to it, likewise with its king. And all the surrounding towns, he struck with the edge of the sword. He did not leave in it any remains. Just as he had done to Hebron and Libnah, and to their kings, so did he do to Debir and to its king.
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 And so Joshua struck the entire land, the mountains, and the south, and the plains, and the descending slopes, with their kings. He did not leave in it any remains, but he put to death all that was able to breathe, just as the Lord, the God of Israel, had instructed him,
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 from Kadesh-barnea, as far as Gaza, with all the land of Goshen, as far as Gibeon.
E Josué os feriu desde Cades-barnea, e até Gaza: como também toda a terra de Gosen, e até Gibeon.
42 And all their kings and their regions, he seized and destroyed with a single attack. For the Lord, the God of Israel, fought on his behalf.
E de uma vez tomou Josué todos estes reis, e as suas terras: porquanto o Senhor Deus de Israel pelejava por Israel.
43 And he returned, with all of Israel, to the place of the encampment at Gilgal.
Então Josué, e todo o Israel com ele, se tornou ao arraial em Gilgal.
