Joshua 7
1 But the children of Israel committed a trespass on the devoted things; for 'Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerach, of the tribe of Judah, took of the devoted things: and the anger of the Lord was kindled against the children of Israel.
E trespassaram os filhos de Israel no anátema: porque Acan, filho de Carmi, filho de Zabdi, filho de Sera, da tribo de Judá, tomou do anátema, e a ira do Senhor se acendeu contra os filhos de Israel.
2 And Joshua sent men from Jericho to 'Ai, which is beside Beth-aven, on the east side of Beth-el, and said unto them, thus, Go up and spy out the country. And the men went up and spied out 'Ai.
Enviando pois Josué de Jericó, alguns homens a Hai, que está junto a Bethaven, da banda do oriente de bethel, falou-lhes, dizendo: Subi, e espiai a terra. Subiram pois aqueles homens, e espiaram a Hai.
3 And they returned to Joshua, and said unto him, Let not all the people go up; but let about two or three thousand men go up and smite 'Ai: do not fatigue all the people [to go] thither; for they are but few.
E voltaram a Josué, e disseram-lhe: Não suba todo o povo; subam alguns dois mil, ou três mil homens, a ferir a Hai: não fatigues ali a todo o povo, porque poucos são.
4 So there went up thither of the people about three thousand men; and they fled before the men of 'Ai.
Assim, subiram lá do povo alguns três mil homens, os quais fugiram diante dos homens de Dai.
5 And the men of 'Ai smote of them about thirty and six men; and they chased them from before the gate unto the stone-quarries, and smote them on the declivity [of the hill]; wherefore the heart of the people melted, and became as water.
E os homens de Hai feriram deles alguns trinta e seis, e seguiram-nos desde a porta até Shebarim, e feriram-nos na descida; e o coração do povo se derreteu e se tornou como água.
6 And Joshua rent his clothes, and fell upon his face to the earth before the ark of the Lord until the evening, he with the elders of Israel, and they put dust upon their head.
Então Josué rasgou os seus vestidos, e se prostrou em terra sobre o seu rosto perante a arca do Senhor até à tarde, ele e os anciãos de Israel: e deitaram pó sobre as suas cabeças.
7 And Joshua said, Alas, O Lord Eternal, wherefore hast thou caused this people to pass over the Jordan, to deliver us into the hand of the Emorites, to destroy us? and oh! that we had been content, and dwelt on the other side of the Jordan!
E disse Josué: Ah Senhor Jehovah! porque, com efeito, fizeste passar a este povo o Jordão, para nos dares nas mãos dos amorreus, para nos fazerem perecer? oxalá nos contentaramos com ficarmos de além do Jordão.
8 I pray thee, O Lord, what shall I say, since Israel have turned their back before their enemies!
Ah Senhor! que direi? pois Israel virou as costas diante dos seus inimigos!
9 And when the Canaanites and all the inhabitants of the land will hear of it, they will environ us round, and cut off our name from the earth; and what wilt thou do for thy great name?
Ouvindo isto, os cananeus, e todos os moradores da terra, nos cercarão e desarreigarão o nosso nome da terra: e então que farás ao teu grande nome?
10 And the Lord said unto Joshua, Get thee up; wherefore liest thou upon thy face.
Então disse o Senhor a Josué: Levanta-te: porque estás prostrado assim sobre o teu rosto?
11 Israel hath sinned, and they have also transgressed my covenant which I have commanded them; and they have also taken of the devoted things, and have also stolen, and have also dissembled, and they have also put it into their own vessels.
Israel pecou, e até transgrediram o meu concerto que lhes tinha ordenado, e até tomaram do anátema, e também furtaram, e também mentiram, e até debaixo da sua bagagem o puseram.
12 Therefore will the children of Israel not be able to stand up before their enemies; their back will they turn before their enemies, because they have become accursed: I will not be any more with you, except ye destroy the accursed from among you.
Pelo que os filhos de Israel não puderam subsistir perante os seus inimigos: viraram as costas diante dos seus inimigos; porquanto estão amaldiçoados: não serei mais convosco, se não desarreigardes o anátema do meio de vós.
13 Rise up, sanctify the people, and say, Sanctify yourselves against tomorrow; for thus hath said the Lord the God of Israel, An accursed thing is in the midst of thee, O Israel: thou shalt not be able to stand up before thy enemies, until ye have removed the accursed from among you.
Levanta-te, santifica o povo, e dize: santificai-vos para amanhã, porque assim diz o Senhor, o Deus de Israel: anátema há no meio de ti, Israel: diante dos teus inimigos não poderás suster-te, até que não tires o anátema do meio de vós.
14 And ye shall be brought near in the morning according to your tribes: and it shall be, that the tribe which the Lord will seize shall come near according to its families; and the family which the Lord will seize shall come near by households; and the household which the Lord shall seize will come near by its men.
Amanhã pois vos chegareis, segundo as vossas tribos: e será que a tribo que o Senhor tomar se chegará, segundo as famílias; e a família que o Senhor tomar se chegará por casas; e a casa que o Senhor tomar se chegará homem por homem
15 And it shall be, that he that is seized with the accursed thing shall be burnt with fire, he, and all that he hath; because he hath transgressed the covenant of the Lord, and because he hath wrought wickedness in Israel.
E será que aquele que for tomado com o anátema será queimado a fogo, ele e tudo quanto tiver: porquanto transgrediu o concerto do Senhor, e fez uma loucura em Israel.
16 So Joshua rose up early in the morning, and brought Israel near by their tribes, and the tribe of Judah was seized;
Então Josué se levantou de madrugada, e fez chegar a Israel, segundo as suas tribos: e a tribo de Judá foi tomada:
17 And he brought near the family of Judah, and he seized the family of the Zarchites; and he brought near the family of the Zarchites by its men, and Zabdi was seized;
E, fazendo chegar a tribo de Judá, tomou a família de Zarchi: e, fazendo chegar a família de Zarchi, homem por homem, foi tomado Zabdi:
18 And he brought near his household by its men, and 'Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerach, of the tribe of Judah, was seized.
E, fazendo chegar a sua casa, homem por homem, foi tomado Acan, filho de Carmi, filho de Zabdi, filho de Serah, da tribo de Judá.
19 And Joshua said unto 'Achan, My son, give, I pray thee, glory to the Lord, the God of Israel, and make confession unto him; and tell me, I pray thee, what thou hast done: hide nothing from me.
Então disse Josué a Acan: Filho meu, dá, peço-te, glória ao Senhor Deus de Israel, e faze confissão perante ele; e declara-me agora o que fizeste, não mo ocultes.
20 And 'Achan answered Joshua, and said, Truly! I have indeed sinned against the Lord the God of Israel, and thus and thus have I done:
E respondeu Acan a Josué, e disse: Verdadeiramente pequei contra o Senhor Deus de Israel, e fiz assim e assim.
21 I saw among the spoil a handsome Babylonish mantle, and two hundred shekels of silver, and a wedge of gold of fifty shekels in weight, and I coveted them, and took them; and, behold, they are hidden in the earth in the midst of my tent, with the silver beneath the same.
Quando vi entre os despojos uma boa capa Babilônica, e duzentos siclos de prata, e uma cunha de ouro do peso de cincoênta siclos, cobicei-os e tomei-os: e eis que estão escondidos na terra, no meio da minha tenda, e a prata debaixo dela.
22 Joshua thereupon sent messengers, and they ran unto the tent; and, behold, it was hidden in his tent, and the silver beneath it.
Então Josué enviou mensageiros, que foram correndo à tenda: e eis que estava escondido na sua tenda, e a prata debaixo dela.
23 And they took them out of the midst of the tent, and brought them unto Joshua, and unto all the children of Israel, and they laid them out before the Lord.
Tomaram pois aquelas coisas do meio da tenda, e as trouxeram a Josué e a todos os filhos de Israel: e as deitaram perante o Senhor.
24 And Joshua took 'Achan the son of Zerach, and the silver, and the mantle, and the wedge of gold, and his sons, and his daughters, and his ox, and his ass, and his sheep, and his tent, and all that he had, and all Israel were with him, and they brought them up unto the valley of 'Achor.
Então Josué e todo o Israel com ele tomaram a Acan, filho de Serah, e a prata, e a capa, e a cunha de ouro, e a seus filhos, e a suas filhas, e a seus bois, e a seus jumentos, e a suas ovelhas, e a sua tenda, e a tudo quanto tinha: e levaram-nos ao vale de Acor.
25 And Joshua said, How hast thou troubled us! so shall the Lord trouble thee this day. And all Israel stoned him with stones, and burnt them with fire, after they had stoned them with stones.
E disse Josué: Como nos turbaste? o Senhor te turbará a ti este dia. E todo o Israel o apedrejou com pedras, e os queimaram a fogo, e os apedrejaram com pedras.
26 And they raised over him a great heap of stones [which is] unto this day; and the Lord turned from the fierceness of his anger. Wherefore the name of that place was called, The valley of 'Achor, unto this day.
E levantaram sobre ele um grande montão de pedras, até o dia de hoje; assim o Senhor se tornou do ardor da sua ira: pelo que se chamou o nome daquele lugar o vale de Acor, até ao dia de hoje.
