Joshua 5

1 When all the kings of the Amorites, who were beyond the Jordan westward, and all the kings of the Canaanites, who were by the sea, heard how the LORD had dried up the waters of the Jordan from before the children of Israel until we had crossed over, their heart melted, and there was no more spirit in them, because of the children of Israel.

E succedeu que, ouvindo todos os reis dos amorrheos, que habitavam d'esta banda do Jordão, ao occidente, e todos os reis dos cananeos, que estavam ao pé do mar, que o Senhor tinha seccado as aguas do Jordão, de diante dos filhos d'Israel, até que passámos, derreteu-se-lhes o coração, e não houve mais animo n'elles, por causa dos filhos d'Israel.

2 At that time, the LORD said to Joshua, “Make flint knives, and circumcise again the sons of Israel the second time.”

N'aquelle tempo disse o Senhor a Josué: Faze facas de pedra, e torna a circumcidar segunda vez aos filhos d'Israel.

3 Joshua made himself flint knives, and circumcised the sons of Israel at the hill of the foreskins.

Então Josué fez para si facas de pedra, e circumcidou aos filhos d'Israel no monte dos prepucios.

4 This is the reason Joshua circumcised them: all the people who came out of Egypt, who were males, even all the men of war, died in the wilderness along the way, after they came out of Egypt.

E foi esta a causa por que Josué os circumcidou: todo o povo que tinha saido do Egypto, os machos, todos os homens de guerra, eram já mortos no deserto, pelo caminho, depois que sairam do Egypto.

5 For all the people who came out were circumcised; but all the people who were born in the wilderness along the way as they came out of Egypt had not been circumcised.

Porque todo o povo que saira estava circumcidado, mas a nenhum do povo que nascera no deserto, pelo caminho, depois de terem saido do Egypto, haviam circumcidado.

6 For the children of Israel walked forty years in the wilderness until all the nation, even the men of war who came out of Egypt, were consumed, because they didn’t listen to the LORD’s voice. The LORD swore to them that he wouldn’t let them see the land which the LORD swore to their fathers that he would give us, a land flowing with milk and honey.

Porque quarenta annos andaram os filhos d'Israel pelo deserto, até se acabar toda a nação, os homens de guerra, que sairam do Egypto, e não obedeceram á voz do Senhor: aos quaes o Senhor tinha jurado que lhes não havia de deixar ver a terra que o Senhor jurara a seus paes dar-nos; terra que mana leite e mel

7 Their children, whom he raised up in their place, were circumcised by Joshua, for they were uncircumcised, because they had not circumcised them on the way.

Porém em seu logar poz a seus filhos; a estes Josué circumcidou: porquanto estavam incircumcisos, porque os não circumcidaram no caminho.

8 When they were done circumcising the whole nation, they stayed in their places in the camp until they were healed.

E aconteceu que, acabando de circumcidar a toda a nação, ficaram no seu logar no arraial, até que sararam.

9 The LORD said to Joshua, “Today I have rolled away the reproach of Egypt from you.” Therefore the name of that place was called Gilgal to this day.

Disse mais o Senhor a Josué: Hoje revolvi de sobre vós o opprobrio do Egypto; pelo que o nome d'aquelle logar se chamou Gilgal, até ao dia d'hoje.

10 The children of Israel encamped in Gilgal. They kept the Passover on the fourteenth day of the month at evening in the plains of Jericho.

Estando pois os filhos d'Israel alojados em Gilgal, celebraram a paschoa no dia quatorze do mez, á tarde, nas campinas de Jericó.

11 They ate unleavened cakes and parched grain of the produce of the land on the next day after the Passover, in the same day.

E comeram do trigo da terra do anno antecedente, ao outro dia depois da paschoa, pães asmos e espigas tostadas, no mesmo dia.

12 The manna ceased on the next day, after they had eaten of the produce of the land. The children of Israel didn’t have manna any more, but they ate of the fruit of the land of Canaan that year.

E cessou o manná no dia seguinte, depois que comeram do trigo da terra do anno antecedente; e os filhos d'Israel não tiveram mais manná: porém no mesmo anno comeram das novidades da terra de Canaan.

13 When Joshua was by Jericho, he lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, a man stood in front of him with his sword drawn in his hand. Joshua went to him and said to him, “Are you for us, or for our enemies?”

E succedeu que, estando Josué ao pé de Jericó, levantou os seus olhos, e olhou; e eis-que se poz em pé diante d'elle um homem que tinha na mão uma espada nua: e chegou-se Josué a elle, e disse-lhe: És tu dos nossos, ou dos nossos inimigos?

14 He said, “No; but I have come now as commander of the LORD’s army.” Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and worshipped, and asked him, “What does my lord say to his servant?”

E disse elle: Não, mas venho agora como principe do exercito do Senhor. Então Josué se prostrou sobre o seu rosto na terra, e o adorou, e disse-lhe: Que diz meu senhor ao seu servo?

15 The prince of the LORD’s army said to Joshua, “Take off your sandals, for the place on which you stand is holy.” Joshua did so.

Então disse o principe do exercito do Senhor a Josué: Descalça os sapatos de teus pés, porque o logar em que estás é sancto. E fez Josué assim.
