< Joshua 11 >
1 And when Jabin, the king of Hazor, had heard these things, he sent to Jobab, the king of Madon, and to the king of Shimron, and to the king of Achshaph,
Sucedeu depois disto que, ouvindo-o Jabin, rei de Hazor, enviou a Jobab, rei de Madon, e ao rei de Simron, e ao rei de Acsaph;
2 also to the kings of the north, who were living in the mountains, and in the plains opposite the southern region of Chinneroth, and also in the plains and the regions of Dor, beside the sea,
E os reis, que estavam ao norte, nas montanhas, e na campina para o sul de Cinneroth, e nas planícies, e em Naphoth-dor, da banda do mar;
3 also to the Canaanites, from east to west, and to the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Jebusite in the mountains, also to the Hivite who was living at the base of Hermon, in the land of Mizpah.
Ao Cananeo do oriente e do ocidente; e ao amorreu, e ao hetheu, e ao pherezeu, e ao jebuseu nas montanhas: e ao heveu ao pé de Hermon, na terra de Mispah.
4 And they all went forth with their troops, a people exceedingly numerous, like the sand that is on the shore of the sea. And their horses and chariots were an immense multitude.
Sairam pois estes, e todos os seus exércitos com eles, muito povo, como a areia que está na praia do mar em multidão: e muitíssimos cavalos e carros.
5 And all these kings assembled at the waters of Merom, so that they might fight against Israel.
Todos estes reis se ajuntaram, e vieram e se acamparam junto às águas de Merom, para pelejarem contra Israel.
6 And the Lord said to Joshua: “You should not fear them. For tomorrow, at this same hour, I will deliver all these to be wounded in the sight of Israel. You will hamstring their horses, and you will burn their chariots with fire.”
E disse o Senhor a Josué: Não temas diante deles; porque amanhã a esta mesma hora eu os darei todos feridos diante dos filhos de Israel; os seus cavalos jarretarás, e os seus carros queimarás a fogo.
7 And Joshua, and the entire army with him, came against them suddenly, at the waters of Merom, and they rushed upon them.
E Josué, e toda a gente de guerra com ele, veio apressadamente sobre eles às águas de Merom: e deram neles de repente.
8 And the Lord delivered them into the hands of Israel. And they struck them, and they pursued them as far as the great Sidon, and the waters of Misrephoth, and the field of Mizpeh, which is toward the eastern region. He struck them all, so that nothing was left of them to remain.
E o Senhor os deu na mão de Israel, e os feriram, e os seguiram até à grande Sidon, e até Misrephoth-main, e até ao vale de Mispah ao oriente; feriram-os até não lhes deixarem nenhum
9 And he did just as the Lord had instructed him. He hamstrung their horses, and he burned their chariots with fire.
E fez-lhes Josué como o Senhor lhe dissera: os seus cavalos jarretou, e os seus carros queimou a fogo.
10 And turning back, he immediately seized Hazor. And he struck down its king with the sword. For Hazor, from antiquity, held the first position among all these kingdoms.
E naquele mesmo tempo tornou Josué, e tomou a Hazor, e feriu à espada ao seu rei: porquanto Hazor de antes era a cabeça de todos estes reinos.
11 And he struck down all the souls that were staying there. He did not leave in it any remains, but he destroyed everything unto utter annihilation, and he destroyed the city itself with fire.
E a toda a alma, que nela havia, feriram ao fio da espada, e totalmente os destruiram; nada restou do que tinha fôlego, e a Hazor queimou com fogo.
12 And he seized, struck, and destroyed all the surrounding cities and their kings, just as Moses, the servant of God, had instructed him.
E Josué tomou todas as cidades destes reis, e todos os seus reis, e os feriu ao fio da espada, destruindo-os totalmente: como ordenara a Moisés servo do Senhor.
13 And except for the cities that were on hills and in elevated places, the rest Israel burned. One only, highly-fortified Hazor, was consumed with fire.
Tão somente não queimaram os israelitas as cidades que estavam sobre os seus outeiros: salvo somente Hazor, a qual Josué queimou.
14 And the sons of Israel divided among themselves all the plunder of these cities, and the cattle, putting to death all persons.
E todos os despojos destas cidades, e o gado, os filhos de Israel saquearam para si: tão somente a todos os homens feriram ao fio da espada, até que os destruiram: nada do que fôlego tinha deixaram com vida.
15 Just as the Lord had instructed his servant Moses, so did Moses instruct Joshua, and he fulfilled everything. He did not omit even one word out of all the commandments, which the Lord had commanded Moses.
Como ordenara o Senhor a Moisés seu servo, assim Moisés ordenou a Josué: e assim Josué o fez; nem uma só palavra tirou de tudo o que o Senhor ordenara a Moisés.
16 And so Joshua seized the entire land of the mountains, and of the south, and the land of Goshen, and the plains, and the western region, and the mountain of Israel, and its plains.
Assim Josué tomou toda aquela terra, as montanhas, e todo o sul, e toda a terra de Gosen, e as planícies, e as campinas, e as montanhas de Israel; e as suas planícies;
17 As for the part of the mountain that ascends to Seir, as far as Baalgad, along the plain of Lebanon under mount Hermon, all their kings he seized, struck down, and killed.
Desde o monte calvo, que sobe a Seir, até Baal-gad, no vale do líbano, às raízes do monte de Hermon: também tomou todos os seus reis, e os feriu e os matou.
18 For a long time, Joshua fought against these kings.
Por muitos dias Josué fez guerra contra todos estes reis.
19 There was not a city that delivered itself to the sons of Israel, except the Hivites who were living at Gibeon. For he seized it all in warfare.
Não houve cidade que fizesse paz com os filhos de Israel, senão os heveus, moradores de Gibeon: por guerra as tomaram todas.
20 For it was the sentence of the Lord that their hearts would be hardened, and that they would fight against Israel and fall, and that they did not deserve any clemency, and that they should perish, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.
Porquanto do Senhor vinha, que os seus corações endurecessem, para sairem ao encontro a Israel na guerra, para os destruir totalmente, para se não ter piedade deles; mas para os destruir a todos, como o Senhor tinha ordenado a Moisés.
21 In that time, Joshua went and put to death the Anakim from the mountains, from Hebron and Debir and Anab, and from all the mountains of Judah and Israel. And he destroyed their cities.
Naquele tempo veio Josué, e extirpou os enaquins das montanhas de Hebron, de Debir, de anab, e de todas as montanhas de Judá, e de todas as montanhas de Israel: Josué os destruiu totalmente com as suas cidades.
22 He did not leave any from the stock of the Anakim in the land of the sons of Israel, except the cities of Gaza, and Gath, and Ashdod, which alone were left behind.
Nenhum dos enaquins ficou de resto na terra dos filhos de Israel: somente ficaram de resto em Gaza, em Gath, e em Asdod.
23 Thus, Joshua seized all the land, just as the Lord spoke to Moses, and he delivered it as a possession to the sons of Israel, according to their divisions and tribes. And the land rested from battles.
Assim Josué tomou toda esta terra, conforme a tudo o que o Senhor tinha dito a Moisés; e Josué a deu em herança aos filhos de Israel, conforme às suas divisões, conforme às suas tribos: e a terra repousou da guerra
