< Joshua 10 >

1 And it came to pass when Adoni-zedek king of Jerusalem heard that Joshua had taken Ai and had utterly destroyed it, that he had done to Ai and its king as he had done to Jericho and its king, and that the inhabitants of Gibeon had made peace with Israel, and were among them,
E sucedeu que, ouvindo Adonizedek, rei de Jerusalém, que Josué tomara a Hai, e a tinha destruído totalmente, e fizera a Hai e ao seu rei como tinha feito a Jericó e ao seu rei, e que os moradores de Gibeon fizeram paz com os israelitas, e estavam no meio deles,
2 that they feared greatly; for Gibeon was a great city, as one of the royal cities, and it was greater than Ai, and all its men were mighty.
Temeram muito: porque Gibeon era uma cidade grande como uma das cidades reais, e ainda maior do que Hai, e todos os seus homens valentes.
3 And Adoni-zedek king of Jerusalem sent to Hoham king of Hebron, and to Piream king of Jarmuth, and to Japhia king of Lachish, and to Debir king of Eglon, saying,
Pelo que Adonizedek, rei de Jerusalém, enviou a Hoham, rei de Hebron, e a Piram, rei de Jarmuth, e a Jafia, rei de Lachis, e a Debir, rei de Eglon, dizendo:
4 Come up to me, and help me, that we may smite Gibeon; for it has made peace with Joshua and with the children of Israel.
Subi a mim, e ajudai-me, e firamos a Gibeon: porquanto fez paz com Josué e com os filhos de Israel.
5 And 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 they encamped before Gibeon, and made war against it.
Então se ajuntaram, e subiram cinco reis dos amorreus, o rei de Jerusalém, o rei de Hebron, o rei de Jarmuth, o rei de Lachis, o rei de Eglon, eles e todos os seus exércitos: e sitiaram a Gibeon e pelejaram contra ela.
6 And the men of Gibeon sent to Joshua, to the camp at Gilgal, saying, Withdraw not thy hand from thy servants: come up to us quickly, and save us and help us; for all the kings of the Amorites that dwell in the hill-country are gathered against us.
Enviaram pois os homens de Gibeon a Josué ao arraial de Gilgal, dizendo: Não retires as tuas mãos de teus servos; sobe apressadamente a nós, e livra-nos, e ajuda-nos, porquanto todos os reis dos amorreus, que habitam na montanha, se ajuntaram contra nós
7 So Joshua went up from Gilgal, he and all the people of war with him, even all the valiant men.
Então subiu Josué de Gilgal, ele e toda a gente de guerra com ele, e todos os valentes e valorosos.
8 And Jehovah said to Joshua, Fear them not; for into thy hand have I given them: not a man of them shall stand before thee.
E o Senhor disse a Josué: Não os temas, porque os tenho dado na tua mão: nenhum deles parará diante de ti.
9 And Joshua came upon them suddenly; he went up from Gilgal all night.
E Josué lhes sobreveio de repente, porque toda a noite veio subindo desde Gilgal.
10 And Jehovah discomfited them before Israel, and smote them [with] a great slaughter at Gibeon; and he chased them on the way of the ascent of Beth-horon, and smote them up to Azekah and Makkedah.
E o Senhor os conturbou diante de Israel, e os feriu de grande ferida em Gibeon: e seguiu-os pelo caminho que sobe a Bethoron, e os feriu até Azeka e a Makeda.
11 And it came to pass, as they fled from before Israel, — they were at the descent of Beth-horon, — that Jehovah cast down great stones from heaven upon them up to Azekah, and they died. They were more who died with the hailstones than they whom the children of Israel had slain with the sword.
E sucedeu que, fugindo eles diante de Israel, à descida de Bethoron, o Senhor lançou sobre eles, do céu, grandes pedras até Azeka, e morreram: e foram muitos mais os que morreram das pedras da saraiva do que os que os filhos de Israel mataram à espada.
12 Then spoke Joshua to Jehovah in the day when Jehovah gave up the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand still upon Gibeon; And thou, moon, in the valley of Ajalon!
Então Josué falou ao Senhor, no dia em que o Senhor deu os amorreus na mão dos filhos de Israel, e disse aos olhos dos israelitas: Sol, detem-te em Gibeon, e tu, lua, no vale de Ajalon.
13 And the sun stood still, and the moon remained where it was, until the nation had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jasher? And the sun remained standing in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a full day.
E o sol se deteve, e a lua parou, até que o povo se vingou de seus inimigos. Isto não está escrito no livro do reto? O sol pois se deteve no meio do céu, e não se apressou a pôr-se, quase um dia inteiro.
14 And there was no day like that before it or after it, that Jehovah hearkened to the voice of a man; for Jehovah fought for Israel.
E não houve dia semelhante a este, nem antes nem depois dele, ouvindo o Senhor assim a voz dum homem: porque o Senhor pelejava por Israel.
15 And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to the camp, to Gilgal.
E tornou-se Josué, e todo o Israel com ele, ao arraial a Gilgal.
16 And these five kings fled, and hid themselves in the cave at Makkedah.
Aqueles cinco reis, porém, fugiram, e se esconderam numa cova em Makeda.
17 And it was told Joshua, saying, The five kings have been found, hid in the cave at Makkedah.
E foi anunciado a Josué, dizendo: Acharam-se os cinco reis escondidos numa cova em Makeda.
18 And Joshua said, Roll great stones before the mouth of the cave, and set men before it to keep them.
Disse pois Josué: arrojai grandes pedras à boca da cova, e ponde sobre ela homens que os guardem:
19 And ye, stay not, pursue after your enemies, and smite the hindmost of them; suffer them not to enter into their cities; for Jehovah your God has given them into your hand.
Porém vos não vos detenhais; segui os vossos inimigos, e feri os que ficaram atráz: não os deixeis entrar nas suas cidades, porque o Senhor vosso Deus já vo-los deu na vossa mão
20 And it came to pass when Joshua and the children of Israel had ended smiting them with a very great slaughter, until they were consumed, that the remnant which remained of them entered into fortified cities;
E sucedeu que, acabando Josué e os filhos de Israel de os ferir a grande ferida, até consumi-los, e que os que ficaram deles se retiraram às cidades fortes,
21 and all the people returned to the camp to Joshua, at Makkedah, in peace; none moved his tongue against the children of Israel.
Todo o povo se tornou em paz a Josué, ao arraial em Makeda: não havendo ninguém que movesse a sua língua contra os filhos de Israel.
22 And Joshua said, Open the mouth of the cave, and bring forth to me those five kings out of the cave.
Depois disse Josué: Abri a boca da cova, e trazei-me aqueles cinco reis para fora da cova.
23 And they did so, and brought forth to him those five kings out of the cave, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, the king of Eglon.
Fizeram pois assim, e trouxeram-lhe aqueles cinco reis para fora da cova: o rei de Jerusalém, o rei de Hebron, o rei de Jarmuth, o rei de Lachis, e o rei de Eglon.
24 And it came to pass when they had brought forth those kings to Joshua, that Joshua called to all the men of Israel, and said to the captains of the men of war who went with him, Come forward, put your feet on the necks of these kings. And they came forward and put their feet on their necks.
E sucedeu que, trazendo aqueles reis a Josué, Josué chamou todos os homens de Israel, e disse aos capitães da gente de guerra, que com ele foram: chegai, ponde os vossos pés sobre os pescoços destes reis. E chegaram, e puseram os seus pés sobre os seus pescoços.
25 And Joshua said to them, Fear not, neither be dismayed; be strong and courageous, for thus will Jehovah do to all your enemies against whom ye fight.
Então Josué lhes disse: Não temais, nem vos espanteis: esforçai-vos e animae-vos; porque assim o fará o Senhor a todos os vossos inimigos, contra os quais pelejardes.
26 And afterwards Joshua smote them, and put them to death, and hanged them on five trees; and they were hanging upon the trees until the evening.
E, depois disto, Josué os feriu e os matou, e os enforcou em cinco madeiros: e ficaram enforcados nos madeiros até à tarde.
27 And it came to pass at the time of the going down of the sun, that Joshua commanded, and they took them down off the trees, and cast them into the cave where they had been hid, and laid great stones before the cave's mouth, [which remain] to this very day.
E sucedeu que, ao tempo do pôr do sol, deu Josué ordem que os tirassem dos madeiros: e lançaram-nos na cova onde se esconderam: e puseram grandes pedras à boca da cova, que ainda ali estão até ao mesmo dia de hoje.
28 And Joshua took Makkedah on that day, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and the king thereof, him and all the souls that were therein he utterly destroyed; he let none remain; and he did to the king of Makkedah as he had done to the king of Jericho.
E naquele mesmo dia tomou Josué a Makeda, e feriu-a a fio de espada, e destruiu o seu rei, a eles, e a toda a alma que nela havia; nada deixou de resto: e fez ao rei de Makeda como fizera ao rei de Jericó.
29 And Joshua passed, and all Israel with him, from Makkedah to Libnah, and fought against Libnah.
Então Josué e todo o Israel com ele passou de Makeda a Libna, e pelejou contra Libna;
30 And Jehovah gave it also and the king thereof into the hand of Israel; and he smote it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls that were therein; he let none remain in it: and he did to the king thereof as he had done to the king of Jericho.
E também o Senhor a deu na mão de Israel, a ela e a seu rei, e a feriu a fio de espada, a ela e a toda a alma que nela havia; nada deixou de resto: e fez ao seu rei como fizera ao rei de Jericó.
31 And Joshua passed, and all Israel with him, from Libnah to Lachish, and encamped against it, and fought against it.
Então Josué, e todo o Israel com ele, passou de Libna a Lachis: e a sitiou, e pelejou contra ela;
32 And Jehovah gave Lachish into the hand of Israel; and they took it on the second day, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls that were therein, according to all that he had done to Libnah.
E o Senhor deu a Lachis na mão de Israel, e tomou-a no dia seguinte, e a feriu a fio de espada, a ela, e a toda a alma que nela havia, conforme a tudo o que fizera a Libna.
33 Then Horam king of Gezer came up to help Lachish; and Joshua smote him and his people, until he had left him none remaining.
Então Horan, rei de Gezer, subiu a ajudar a Lachis: porém Josué o feriu, a ele e ao seu povo, até que nenhum lhe deixou de resto.
34 And Joshua, and all Israel with him, passed from Lachish to Eglon; and they encamped against it, and fought against it.
E Josué, e todo o Israel com ele, passou de Lachis a Eglon: e a sitiaram, e pelejaram contra ela:
35 And they took it on that day, and smote it with the edge of the sword; and all the souls that were therein he utterly destroyed on that day, according to all that he had done to Lachish.
E no mesmo dia a tomaram, e a feriram a fio de espada; e a toda a alma, que nela havia, destruiu totalmente no mesmo dia: conforme a tudo o que fizera a Lachis.
36 And Joshua went up, and all Israel with him, from Eglon to Hebron; and they fought against it.
Depois Josué, e todo o Israel com ele, subiu de Eglon a Hebron, e pelejaram contra ela;
37 And they took it, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and the king thereof, and all the cities thereof, and all the souls that were therein: he let none remain, according to all that he had done to Eglon; and he utterly destroyed it, and all the souls that were therein.
E a tomaram, e a feriram ao fio de espada, assim ao seu rei como a todas as suas cidades; e a toda a alma, que nelas havia, a ninguém deixou com vida, conforme a tudo o que fizera a Eglon: e a destruiu totalmente, a ela e a toda a alma que nela havia.
38 And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to Debir; and fought against it.
Então Josué, e todo o Israel com ele, tornou a Debir, e pelejou contra ela;
39 And he took it, and the king thereof, and all the cities thereof, and they smote them with the edge of the sword, and utterly destroyed all the souls that were therein; he let none remain: as he had done to Hebron, and as he had done to Libnah, and to the king thereof, so he did to Debir and to the king thereof.
E tomou-a com o seu rei, e a todas as suas cidades, e as feriram a fio de espada, e a toda a alma que nelas havia destruiram totalmente, nada deixou de resto: como fizera a Hebron, assim fez a Debir e ao seu rei, e como fizera a Libna e ao seu rei.
40 And Joshua smote the whole country, the mountain, and the south, and the lowland, and the hill-slopes, and all their kings: he let none remain, but he utterly destroyed all that breathed, as Jehovah the God of Israel had commanded.
Assim feriu Josué toda aquela terra, as montanhas, o sul, e as campinas, e as descidas das águas, e a todos os seus reis; nada deixou de resto: mas tudo o que tinha fôlego destruiu, como ordenara o Senhor Deus de Israel.
41 And Joshua smote them from Kadesh-barnea even to Gazah, and all the country of Goshen, even to Gibeon;
E Josué os feriu desde Cades-barnea, e até Gaza: como também toda a terra de Gosen, e até Gibeon.
42 and all these kings and their land did Joshua take at one time; for Jehovah the God of Israel fought for Israel.
E de uma vez tomou Josué todos estes reis, e as suas terras: porquanto o Senhor Deus de Israel pelejava por Israel.
43 And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to the camp, to Gilgal.
Então Josué, e todo o Israel com ele, se tornou ao arraial em Gilgal.
