< 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,
Ouvindo isto Jabim rei de Hazor, enviou mensagem a Jobabe rei de Madom, e ao rei de Sinrom, e ao rei de Acsafe,
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 aos reis que estavam à parte do norte nas montanhas, e na planície ao sul de Quinerete, e nas planícies, e nas regiões de Dor ao ocidente;
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.
E aos cananeus que estava ao oriente e ao ocidente, e aos amorreus, e ao Heteu, e aos perizeus, e aos jebuseus nas montanhas, e aos heveus debaixo de Hermom em terra de Mispá.
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.
Estes saíram, e com eles todos os seus exércitos, povo muito em grande maneira, como a areia que está à beira do mar, com grande multidão de 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 juntaram, e vindo reuniram os acampamentos junto às águas de Merom, para lutar 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.”
Mas o SENHOR disse a Josué: Não tenhas medo deles, que amanhã a esta hora eu entregarei a todos estes, mortos diante de Israel: a seus cavalos aleijarás, e seus carros queimarás ao 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 veio Josué, e com ele todo aquele povo de guerra, contra eles, e deu de repente sobre eles junto às águas de Merom.
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 entregou-os o SENHOR em mãos de Israel, os quais os feriram e seguiram até a grande Sidom, e até as águas quentes, e até a planície de Mispá ao oriente, ferindo-os até que não lhes deixaram ninguém.
9 And he did just as the Lord had instructed him. He hamstrung their horses, and he burned their chariots with fire.
E Josué fez com eles como o SENHOR lhe havia mandado: aleijou seus cavalos, e seus carros queimou ao 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 voltando-se Josué, tomou no mesmo tempo a Hazor, e feriu à espada a seu rei: a qual Hazor havia sido antes 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 feriram à espada todo quanto nela havia vivo, destruindo e não deixando coisa com vida; e a Hazor puseram a 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.
Também tomou Josué todas as cidades destes reis, e a todos os reis delas, e os meteu à espada, e os destruiu, como Moisés servo do SENHOR o havia mandado.
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.
Porém todas as cidades que estavam em suas colinas, não as queimou Israel, tirando a só Hazor, a qual queimou Josué.
14 And the sons of Israel divided among themselves all the plunder of these cities, and the cattle, putting to death all persons.
E os filhos de Israel tomaram para si todos os despojos e animais daquelas cidades: mas a todos os homens feriram à espada até destruí-los, sem deixar alguém 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.
Da maneira que o SENHOR o havia mandado a Moisés seu servo, assim Moisés o mandou a Josué: e assim Josué o fez, sem tirar palavra de tudo o que o SENHOR havia mandado 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.
Tomou, pois, Josué toda aquela terra, as montanhas, e toda a região do sul, e toda a terra de Gósen, e os terrenos baixos e as planícies, e a região montanhosa de Israel e seus vales.
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 de Halaque, que sobe até Seir, até Baal-Gade na planície do Líbano, às raízes do monte Hermom: tomou também todos os seus reis, os quais feriu e matou.
18 For a long time, Joshua fought against these kings.
Por muitos dias teve guerra Josué com 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, a não ser os heveus, que moravam em Gibeão: tudo o tomaram por guerra.
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.
Porque isto veio do SENHOR, que endurecia o coração deles para que resistissem com guerra a Israel, para destruí-los, e que não lhes fosse feita misericórdia, antes fossem desarraigados, como o SENHOR o havia mandado 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.
Também no mesmo tempo veio Josué e destruiu os anaquins dos montes, de Hebrom, de Debir, e de Anabe, e de todos os montes de Judá, e de todos os montes de Israel: Josué os destruiu a eles e a 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 anaquins restou na terra dos filhos de Israel; somente restaram em Gaza, em Gate, e em Asdode.
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.
Tomou, pois, Josué toda a terra, conforme todo o que o SENHOR havia dito a Moisés; e entregou-a Josué aos israelitas por herança, conforme suas repartições de suas tribos: e a terra repousou de guerra.
