Joshua 7
1 But the children of Israel did wrong about the cursed thing: for Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the family of Judah, took of the cursed thing, moving the Lord to wrath against the children of Israel.
E trespassaram os filhos de Israel no anathema: porque Acan, filho de Carmi, filho de Zabdi, filho de Sera, da tribu de Judah, tomou do anathema, e a ira do Senhor se accendeu contra os filhos d'Israel.
2 Now Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai, which is by the side of Beth-aven, on the east side of Beth-el, and said to them, Go up and make a search through the land. And the men went up and saw how Ai was placed.
Enviando pois Josué de Jericó, alguns homens a Hai, que está junto a Bethaven, da banda do oriente de Beth-el, fallou-lhes, dizendo: Subi, e espiae a terra. Subiram pois aquelles homens, e espiaram a Hai.
3 Then they came back to Joshua and said to him, Do not send all the people up, but let about two or three thousand men go up and make an attack on Ai; there is no need for all the people to be tired with the journey there, for it is only a small town.
E voltaram a Josué, e disseram-lhe: Não suba todo o povo; subam alguns dois mil, ou tres mil homens, a ferir a Hai: não fatigues ali a todo o povo, porque poucos são.
4 So about three thousand of the people went up, and were sent in flight by the men of Ai.
Assim, subiram lá do povo alguns tres mil homens, os quaes fugiram diante dos homens de Dai.
5 The men of Ai put to death about thirty-six of them, driving them from before the town as far as the stoneworks, and overcoming them on the way down: and the hearts of the people became like water.
E os homens de Hai feriram d'elles alguns trinta e seis, e seguiram-n'os desde a porta até Shebarim, e feriram-n'os na descida; e o coração do povo se derreteu e se tornou como agua.
6 Then Joshua, in great grief, went down on the earth before the ark of the Lord till the evening, and all the chiefs of Israel with him, and they put dust on their heads.
Então Josué rasgou os seus vestidos, e se prostrou em terra sobre o seu rosto perante a arca do Senhor até á tarde, elle e os anciãos de Israel: e deitaram pó sobre as suas cabeças.
7 And Joshua said, O Lord God, why have you taken us over Jordan only to give us up into the hands of the Amorites for our destruction? If only it had been enough for us to keep on the other side of Jordan!
E disse Josué: Ah Senhor Jehovah! porque, com effeito, fizeste passar a este povo o Jordão, para nos dares nas mãos dos amorrheos, para nos fazerem perecer? oxalá nos contentaramos com ficarmos d'além do Jordão.
8 O Lord, what am I to say now that Israel have given way before their attackers?
Ah Senhor! que direi? pois Israel virou as costas diante dos seus inimigos!
9 For when the news comes to the Canaanites and all the people of the land, they will come up, shutting us in and cutting off our name from the earth: and what will you do for the honour of your great name?
Ouvindo isto, os cananeos, e todos os moradores da terra, nos cercarão e desarreigarão o nosso nome da terra: e então que farás ao teu grande nome?
10 Then the Lord said to Joshua, Get up; what are you doing with your face to the earth?
Então disse o Senhor a Josué: Levanta-te: porque estás prostrado assim sobre o teu rosto?
11 Israel has done wrong, sinning against the agreement which I made with them: they have even taken of the cursed thing; acting falsely like thieves they have put it among their goods.
Israel peccou, e até transgrediram o meu concerto que lhes tinha ordenado, e até tomaram do anathema, e tambem furtaram, e tambem mentiram, e até debaixo da sua bagagem o pozeram.
12 For this reason the children of Israel have given way, turning their backs in flight before their attackers, because they are cursed: I will no longer be with you, if you do not put the cursed thing away from among you.
Pelo que os filhos de Israel não poderam subsistir perante os seus inimigos: viraram as costas diante dos seus inimigos; porquanto estão amaldiçoados: não serei mais comvosco, se não desarreigardes o anathema do meio de vós.
13 Up! make the people holy; say to them, Make yourselves holy before tomorrow, for the Lord, the God of Israel, has said, There is a cursed thing among you, O Israel, and you will give way before your attackers in the fight till the cursed thing has been taken away from among you.
Levanta-te, sanctifica o povo, e dize: Sanctificae-vos para ámanhã, porque assim diz o Senhor, o Deus d'Israel: Anathema ha no meio de ti, Israel: diante dos teus inimigos não poderás suster-te, até que não tires o anathema do meio de vós.
14 So in the morning you are to come near, tribe by tribe; and the tribe marked out by the Lord is to come near, family by family; and the family marked out by the Lord is to come near, house by house; and the house marked out by the Lord is to come near, man by man.
Ámanhã pois vos chegareis, segundo as vossas tribus: e será que a tribu que o Senhor tomar se chegará, segundo as familias; e a familia que o Senhor tomar se chegará por casas; e a casa que o Senhor tomar se chegará homem por homem
15 Then the man who is taken with the cursed thing is to be burned, with everything which is his; because he has gone against the agreement of the Lord and has done an act of shame in Israel.
E será que aquelle que fôr tomado com o anathema será queimado a fogo, elle e tudo quanto tiver: porquanto transgrediu o concerto do Senhor, e fez uma loucura em Israel.
16 So Joshua got up early in the morning, and made Israel come before him by their tribes; and the tribe of Judah was taken;
Então Josué se levantou de madrugada, e fez chegar a Israel, segundo as suas tribus: e a tribu de Judah foi tomada:
17 Then he made Judah come forward, and the family of the Zerahites was taken; and he made the family of the Zerahites come forward man by man; and Zabdi was taken;
E, fazendo chegar a tribu de Judah, tomou a familia de Zarchi: e, fazendo chegar a familia de Zarchi, homem por homem, foi tomado Zabdi:
18 Then the house of Zabdi came forward man by man, and Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, was taken.
E, fazendo chegar a sua casa, homem por homem, foi tomado Acan, filho de Carmi, filho de Zabdi, filho de Serah, da tribu de Judah.
19 And Joshua said to Achan, My son, give glory and praise to the Lord, the God of Israel; give me word now of what you have done, and keep nothing back from me.
Então disse Josué a Acan: Filho meu, dá, peço-te, gloria ao Senhor Deus de Israel, e faze confissão perante elle; e declara-me agora o que fizeste, não m'o occultes.
20 And Achan, answering, said to Joshua, Truly I have done wrong against the Lord, the God of Israel, and this is what I have done:
E respondeu Acan a Josué, e disse: Verdadeiramente pequei contra o Senhor Deus de Israel, e fiz assim e assim.
21 When I saw among their goods a fair robe of Babylon and two hundred shekels of silver, and a mass of gold, fifty shekels in weight, I was overcome by desire and took them; and they are put away in the earth in my tent, and the silver is under it.
Quando vi entre os despojos uma boa capa babylonica, e duzentos siclos de prata, e uma cunha d'oiro do peso de cincoenta siclos, cobicei-os e tomei-os: e eis que estão escondidos na terra, no meio da minha tenda, e a prata debaixo d'ella.
22 So Joshua sent men quickly, and looking in his tent, they saw where the robe had been put away secretly with the silver under it.
Então Josué enviou mensageiros, que foram correndo á tenda: e eis que estava escondido na sua tenda, e a prata debaixo d'ella.
23 And they took them from the tent and came back with them to Joshua and the children of Israel, and put them before the Lord.
Tomaram pois aquellas coisas do meio da tenda, e as trouxeram a Josué e a todos os filhos de Israel: e as deitaram perante o Senhor.
24 Then Joshua and all Israel took Achan, the son of Zerah, and the silver and the robe and the mass of gold, and his sons and his daughters and his oxen and his asses and his sheep and his tent and everything he had; and they took them up into the valley of Achor.
Então Josué e todo o Israel com elle tomaram a Acan, filho de Serah, e a prata, e a capa, e a cunha de oiro, 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-n'os ao valle de Acor.
25 And Joshua said, Why have you been a cause of trouble to us? Today the Lord will send trouble on you. And all Israel took part in stoning him; they had him stoned to death and then burned with fire.
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 over him they put a great mass of stones, which is there to this day; then the heat of the Lord's wrath was turned away. So that place was named, The Valley of Achor, to this day.
E levantaram sobre elle 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 d'aquelle logar o valle d'Acor, até ao dia de hoje.
