Joshua 5
1 And it came to pass 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 that Jehovah had dried up the waters of the Jordan from before the children of Israel, until they had passed over, that their heart melted, and there was no spirit in them any more, because of the children of Israel.
E sucedeu que, ouvindo todos os reis dos amorreus, que habitavam desta banda do Jordão, ao ocidente, e todos os reis dos cananeus, que estavam ao pé do mar, que o Senhor tinha secado as águas do Jordão, de diante dos filhos de Israel, até que passamos, derreteu-se-lhes o coração, e não houve mais ânimo neles, por causa dos filhos de Israel.
2 At that time Jehovah said to Joshua, Make thee stone-knives, and circumcise again the children of Israel the second time.
Naquele tempo disse o Senhor a Josué: Faze facas de pedra, e torna a circuncidar segunda vez aos filhos de Israel.
3 And Joshua made him stone-knives, and circumcised the children of Israel at the hill of Araloth.
Então Josué fez para si facas de pedra, e circuncidou aos filhos de Israel no monte dos prepúcios.
4 And this is the cause why Joshua circumcised [them]: all the people that had come out of Egypt, the males, all the men of war, had died in the wilderness on the way, after they came out of Egypt.
E foi esta a causa por que Josué os circuncidou: todo o povo que tinha saído do Egito, os machos, todos os homens de guerra, eram já mortos no deserto, pelo caminho, depois que sairam do Egito.
5 For all the people that came out were circumcised; but all the people that were born in the wilderness on the way, after they came out of Egypt, [them] had they not circumcised.
Porque todo o povo que saira estava circuncidado, mas a nenhum do povo que nascera no deserto, pelo caminho, depois de terem saído do Egito, haviam circuncidado.
6 For the children of Israel had walked forty years in the wilderness, till the whole nation of men of war had perished who had come out of Egypt, who had not hearkened to the voice of Jehovah; to whom Jehovah had sworn that he would not show them the land which Jehovah had sworn unto their fathers that he would give us, a land flowing with milk and honey.
Porque quarenta anos andaram os filhos de Israel pelo deserto, até se acabar toda a nação, os homens de guerra, que sairam do Egito, e não obedeceram à voz do Senhor: aos quais o Senhor tinha jurado que lhes não havia de deixar ver a terra que o Senhor jurara a seus pais dar-nos; terra que mana leite e mel
7 And their sons [whom] he raised up in their stead, them Joshua circumcised, for they were uncircumcised, because they had not circumcised them on the way.
Porém em seu lugar pôs a seus filhos; a estes Josué circuncidou: porquanto estavam incircuncisos, porque os não circuncidaram no caminho.
8 And it came to pass when the whole nation had finished being circumcised, that they abode in their place in the camp, till they were whole.
E aconteceu que, acabando de circuncidar a toda a nação, ficaram no seu lugar no arraial, até que sararam.
9 And Jehovah said to Joshua, This day have I rolled away the reproach of Egypt from off you. And the name of the place was called Gilgal to this day.
Disse mais o Senhor a Josué: Hoje revolvi de sobre vós o opróbrio do Egito; pelo que o nome daquele lugar se chamou Gilgal, até ao dia de hoje.
10 And the children of Israel encamped in Gilgal, and held the passover on the fourteenth day of the month, at even, in the plains of Jericho.
Estando pois os filhos de Israel alojados em Gilgal, celebraram a pascoa no dia quatorze do mes, à tarde, nas campinas de Jericó.
11 And they ate of the old corn of the land on the morrow after the passover, unleavened loaves, and roasted [corn] on that same day.
E comeram do trigo da terra do ano antecedente, ao outro dia depois da pascoa, pães asmos e espigas tostadas, no mesmo dia.
12 And the manna ceased on the morrow, when they had eaten of the old corn of the land; and there was no more manna for the children of Israel; and they ate of the produce of the land of Canaan that year.
E cessou o maná no dia seguinte, depois que comeram do trigo da terra do ano antecedente; e os filhos de Israel não tiveram mais maná: porém no mesmo ano comeram das novidades da terra de Canaan.
13 And it came to pass when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, there stood a man before him with his sword drawn in his hand. And Joshua went to him, and said to him: Art thou for us, or for our enemies?
E sucedeu que, estando Josué ao pé de Jericó, levantou os seus olhos, e olhou; e eis que se pôs em pé diante dele um homem que tinha na mão uma espada nua: e chegou-se Josué a ele, e disse-lhe: És tu dos nossos, ou dos nossos inimigos?
14 And he said, No; for [as] captain of the army of Jehovah am I now come. Then Joshua fell upon his face to the earth, and worshipped, and said to him, What saith my lord unto his servant?
E disse ele: Não, mas venho agora como príncipe do exército 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 And the captain of Jehovah's army said to Joshua, Loose thy sandal from off thy foot: for the place whereon thou standest is holy. And Joshua did so.
Então disse o príncipe do exército do Senhor a Josué: Descalça os sapatos de teus pés, porque o lugar em que estás é santo. E fez Josué assim.
