< Joshua 10 >

1 Now when Adoni-Zedek king of Jerusalem heard how Joshua had taken Ai, and had utterly destroyed it; as he had done to Jericho and her king, so he had done to Ai and her king; and how the inhabitants of Gibeon had made peace with Israel, and were among them,
Agora quando Adoni-Zedeque, rei de Jerusalém, ouviu como Josué havia tomado Ai, e o havia destruído completamente; como havia feito com Jericó e seu rei, assim fez com Ai e seu rei; e como os habitantes de Gibeon haviam feito as pazes com Israel, e estavam entre eles,
2 they were very afraid, because Gibeon was a great city, as one of the royal cities, and because it was greater than Ai, and all its men were mighty.
eles tinham muito medo, porque Gibeon era uma grande cidade, como uma das cidades reais, e porque era maior que Ai, e todos os seus homens eram poderosos.
3 Therefore Adoni-Zedek king of Jerusalem sent to Hoham king of Hebron, Piram king of Jarmuth, Japhia king of Lachish, and Debir king of Eglon, saying,
Portanto Adoni-Zedek, rei de Jerusalém, enviou a Hoham rei de Hebron, Piram rei de Jarmuth, Japhia rei de Laquis, e Debir rei de Eglon, dizendo:
4 “Come up to me and help me. Let’s strike Gibeon; for they have made peace with Joshua and with the children of Israel.”
“Venha até mim e me ajude”. Vamos atacar Gibeon; pois eles fizeram as pazes com Josué e com os filhos de Israel”.
5 Therefore 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, gathered themselves together and went up, they and all their armies, and encamped against Gibeon, and made war against it.
Therefore os cinco reis dos amorreus, o rei de Jerusalém, o rei de Hebron, o rei de Jarmute, o rei de Laquis e o rei de Eglon, se reuniram e subiram, eles e todos os seus exércitos, e acamparam contra Gibeon, e fizeram guerra contra ele.
6 The men of Gibeon sent to Joshua at the camp at Gilgal, saying, “Don’t abandon your servants! Come up to us quickly and save us! Help us; for all the kings of the Amorites that dwell in the hill country have gathered together against us.”
Os homens de Gibeon enviaram a Josué no acampamento em Gilgal, dizendo: “Não abandone seus servos! Venha até nós rapidamente e nos salve! Ajude-nos; pois todos os reis dos amorreus que habitam na região montanhosa se reuniram contra nós”.
7 So Joshua went up from Gilgal, he and the whole army with him, including all the mighty men of valor.
Então Josué subiu de Gilgal, ele e todo o exército com ele, incluindo todos os poderosos homens de valor.
8 Yahweh said to Joshua, “Don’t fear them, for I have delivered them into your hands. Not a man of them will stand before you.”
Yahweh disse a Joshua: “Não tenha medo deles, pois eu os entreguei em suas mãos”. Nem um homem deles estará diante de você”.
9 Joshua therefore came to them suddenly. He marched from Gilgal all night.
Joshua, portanto, chegou a eles de repente. Ele marchou de Gilgal a noite toda.
10 Yahweh confused them before Israel. He killed them with a great slaughter at Gibeon, and chased them by the way of the ascent of Beth Horon, and struck them to Azekah and to Makkedah.
Yahweh confundiu-os diante de Israel. Ele os matou com uma grande matança em Gibeon, e os perseguiu pelo caminho da ascensão de Beth Horon, e os atingiu até Azekah e até Makkedah.
11 As they fled from before Israel, while they were at the descent of Beth Horon, Yahweh hurled down great stones from the sky on them to Azekah, and they died. There were more who died from the hailstones than those whom the children of Israel killed with the sword.
Quando fugiram de antes de Israel, enquanto estavam na descida de Beth Horon, Yahweh atirou grandes pedras do céu sobre eles para Azekah, e eles morreram. Havia mais pessoas que morreram das pedras de granizo do que aquelas que os filhos de Israel mataram com a espada.
12 Then Joshua spoke to Yahweh in the day when Yahweh delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel. He said in the sight of Israel, “Sun, stand still on Gibeon! You, moon, stop in the valley of Aijalon!”
Então Josué falou a Javé no dia em que Javé entregou os amorreus diante dos filhos de Israel. Ele disse aos olhos de Israel: “Sol, fique parado em Gibeon! Tu, lua, pára no vale de Aijalon”!
13 The sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the nation had avenged themselves of their enemies. Isn’t this written in the book of Jashar? The sun stayed in the middle of the sky, and didn’t hurry to go down about a whole day.
O sol ficou parado, e a lua permaneceu, até que a nação se vingasse de seus inimigos. Isto não está escrito no livro de Jashar? O sol permaneceu no meio do céu, e não se apressou a se pôr por um dia inteiro.
14 There was no day like that before it or after it, that Yahweh listened to the voice of a man; for Yahweh fought for Israel.
Não havia um dia assim antes ou depois, que Iavé ouvisse a voz de um homem; pois Iavé lutou por Israel.
15 Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to the camp to Gilgal.
Josué voltou, e todo Israel com ele, ao acampamento em Gilgal.
16 These five kings fled, and hid themselves in the cave at Makkedah.
Estes cinco reis fugiram, e se esconderam na caverna em Makkedah.
17 Joshua was told, saying, “The five kings have been found, hidden in the cave at Makkedah.”
Foi dito a Josué, dizendo: “Os cinco reis foram encontrados, escondidos na caverna em Makkedah”.
18 Joshua said, “Roll large stones to cover the cave’s entrance, and set men by it to guard them;
Joshua disse: “Enrole grandes pedras para cobrir a entrada da caverna, e coloque homens ao seu lado para protegê-los;
19 but don’t stay there. Pursue your enemies, and attack them from the rear. Don’t allow them to enter into their cities; for Yahweh your God has delivered them into your hand.”
mas não fique lá. Persiga seus inimigos e ataque-os pela retaguarda”. Não permita que entrem em suas cidades; pois Yahweh seu Deus os entregou em suas mãos”.
20 When Joshua and the children of Israel had finished killing them with a very great slaughter until they were consumed, and the remnant which remained of them had entered into the fortified cities,
Quando Josué e as crianças de Israel terminaram de matá-los com um grande massacre até serem consumidos, e o resto que restava deles tinha entrado nas cidades fortificadas,
21 all the people returned to the camp to Joshua at Makkedah in peace. None moved his tongue against any of the children of Israel.
todo o povo voltou ao acampamento para Josué em Makkedah em paz. Nenhum mexeu sua língua contra nenhuma das crianças de Israel.
22 Then Joshua said, “Open the cave entrance, and bring those five kings out of the cave to me.”
Então Josué disse: “Abra a entrada da caverna e traga aqueles cinco reis para fora da caverna até mim”.
23 They did so, and brought those five kings out of the cave to him: the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, and the king of Eglon.
Eles o fizeram e lhe trouxeram aqueles cinco reis da caverna: o rei de Jerusalém, o rei de Hebron, o rei de Jarmuth, o rei de Laquis e o rei de Eglon.
24 When they brought those kings out to Joshua, Joshua called for all the men of Israel, and said to the chiefs of the men of war who went with him, “Come near. Put your feet on the necks of these kings.” They came near, and put their feet on their necks.
Quando eles trouxeram aqueles reis para Josué, Josué chamou todos os homens de Israel e disse aos chefes dos homens de guerra que foram com ele: “Cheguem perto. Ponham seus pés no pescoço desses reis”. Eles se aproximaram e colocaram seus pés no pescoço.
25 Joshua said to them, “Don’t be afraid, nor be dismayed. Be strong and courageous, for Yahweh will do this to all your enemies against whom you fight.”
Joshua disse-lhes: “Não tenham medo, nem se desesperem. Sejam fortes e corajosos, pois Yahweh fará isso com todos os seus inimigos contra os quais vocês lutam”.
26 Afterward Joshua struck them, put them to death, and hanged them on five trees. They were hanging on the trees until the evening.
Depois disso, Joshua os atingiu, os matou e os enforcou em cinco árvores. Eles foram pendurados nas árvores até a noite.
27 At the time of the going down of the sun, Joshua commanded, and they took them down off the trees, and threw them into the cave in which they had hidden themselves, and laid great stones on the mouth of the cave, which remain to this very day.
No momento do pôr do sol, Josué ordenou, e eles os tiraram das árvores, e os jogaram na caverna em que se haviam escondido, e colocaram grandes pedras na boca da caverna, que permanecem até hoje.
28 Joshua took Makkedah on that day, and struck it with the edge of the sword, with its king. He utterly destroyed it and all the souls who were in it. He left no one remaining. He did to the king of Makkedah as he had done to the king of Jericho.
Josué tomou Makkedah naquele dia, e o golpeou com o fio da espada, com seu rei. Ele a destruiu completamente e a todas as almas que estavam nela. Ele não deixou ninguém restante. Ele fez com o rei de Makkedah como havia feito com o rei de Jericó.
29 Joshua passed from Makkedah, and all Israel with him, to Libnah, and fought against Libnah.
Josué passou de Makkedah, e todo Israel com ele, para Libnah, e lutou contra Libnah.
30 Yahweh delivered it also, with its king, into the hand of Israel. He struck it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls who were in it. He left no one remaining in it. He did to its king as he had done to the king of Jericho.
Yahweh também o entregou, com seu rei, nas mãos de Israel. Ele a golpeou com o fio da espada, e todas as almas que estavam nela. Ele não deixou ninguém que nela permanecesse. Ele fez com seu rei, como havia feito com o rei de Jericó.
31 Joshua passed from Libnah, and all Israel with him, to Lachish, and encamped against it, and fought against it.
Josué passou de Libnah, e todo Israel com ele, para Laquis, e se acampou contra ele, e lutou contra ele.
32 Yahweh delivered Lachish into the hand of Israel. He took it on the second day, and struck it with the edge of the sword, with all the souls who were in it, according to all that he had done to Libnah.
Yahweh entregou Laquis nas mãos de Israel. Ele o tomou no segundo dia, e o atingiu com o fio da espada, com todas as almas que estavam nele, de acordo com tudo o que ele havia feito a Libnah.
33 Then Horam king of Gezer came up to help Lachish; and Joshua struck him and his people, until he had left him no one remaining.
Então Horam, rei de Gezer, subiu para ajudar Laquis; e Josué bateu nele e em seu povo, até que ele não lhe deixou mais ninguém.
34 Joshua passed from Lachish, and all Israel with him, to Eglon; and they encamped against it and fought against it.
Josué passou de Laquis, e todo Israel com ele, para Eglon; e eles acamparam contra ele e lutaram contra ele.
35 They took it on that day, and struck it with the edge of the sword. He utterly destroyed all the souls who were in it that day, according to all that he had done to Lachish.
Eles a pegaram naquele dia, e a golpearam com o fio da espada. Ele destruiu completamente todas as almas que estavam nele naquele dia, de acordo com tudo o que ele havia feito a Laquis.
36 Joshua went up from Eglon, and all Israel with him, to Hebron; and they fought against it.
Josué subiu de Eglon, e todo Israel com ele, para Hebron; e eles lutaram contra isso.
37 They took it, and struck it with the edge of the sword, with its king and all its cities, and all the souls who were in it. He left no one remaining, according to all that he had done to Eglon; but he utterly destroyed it, and all the souls who were in it.
Eles a pegaram, e a golpearam com o fio da espada, com seu rei e todas as suas cidades, e todas as almas que estavam dentro dela. Ele não deixou ninguém restante, de acordo com tudo o que havia feito a Eglon; mas ele a destruiu totalmente, e todas as almas que estavam nela.
38 Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to Debir, and fought against it.
Josué voltou, e todo Israel com ele, a Debir, e lutou contra isso.
39 He took it, with its king and all its cities. They struck them with the edge of the sword, and utterly destroyed all the souls who were in it. He left no one remaining. As he had done to Hebron, so he did to Debir, and to its king; as he had done also to Libnah, and to its king.
Ele o levou, com seu rei e todas as suas cidades. Eles os atingiram com o fio da espada, e destruíram completamente todas as almas que estavam nela. Ele não deixou ninguém restante. Como havia feito com Hebron, assim fez com Debir, e com seu rei; como havia feito também com Libnah, e com seu rei.
40 So Joshua struck all the land, the hill country, the South, the lowland, the slopes, and all their kings. He left no one remaining, but he utterly destroyed all that breathed, as Yahweh, the God of Israel, commanded.
Então Josué atingiu toda a terra, a região montanhosa, o Sul, as terras baixas, as encostas e todos os seus reis. Ele não deixou ninguém restante, mas destruiu completamente tudo o que respirava, como ordenou Yahweh, o Deus de Israel.
41 Joshua struck them from Kadesh Barnea even to Gaza, and all the country of Goshen, even to Gibeon.
Josué os atingiu desde Kadesh Barnea até Gaza, e todo o país de Goshen, até Gibeon.
42 Joshua took all these kings and their land at one time because Yahweh, the God of Israel, fought for Israel.
Josué tomou todos esses reis e suas terras de uma só vez porque Javé, o Deus de Israel, lutou por Israel.
43 Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to the camp to Gilgal.
Josué voltou, e todo Israel com ele, ao acampamento em Gilgal.
