< Joshua 10 >

1 Now it came to pass, when Adoni-zedek king of Jerusalem heard how Joshua had taken Ai, and had utterly destroyed it; as he had done to Jericho and her king, so he had done to Ai and her king; and how the inhabitants of Gibeon had made peace with Israel, and were among them;
E succedeu que, ouvindo Adonizedek, rei de Jerusalem, que Josué tomara a Hai, e a tinha destruido 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 d'elles,
2 that they feared greatly, because Gibeon was a great city, as one of the royal cities, and because it was greater than Ai, and all the men thereof were mighty.
Temeram muito: porque Gibeon era uma cidade grande como uma das cidades reaes, e ainda maior do que Hai, e todos os seus homens valentes.
3 Wherefore Adoni-zedek king of Jerusalem sent unto Hoham king of Hebron, and unto Piram king of Jarmuth, and unto Japhia king of Lachish, and unto Debir king of Eglon, saying:
Pelo que Adonizedek, rei de Jerusalem, 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 unto me, and help me, and let us smite Gibeon; for it hath made peace with Joshua and with the children of Israel.'
Subi a mim, e ajudae-me, e firamos a Gibeon: porquanto fez paz com Josué e com os filhos de Israel.
5 Therefore the five kings of the Amorites, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, the king of Eglon, gathered themselves together, and went up, they and all their hosts, and encamped against Gibeon, and made war against it.
Então se ajuntaram, e subiram cinco reis dos amorrheos, o rei de Jerusalem, o rei de Hebron, o rei de Jarmuth, o rei de Lachis, o rei de Eglon, elles e todos os seus exercitos: e sitiaram a Gibeon e pelejaram contra ella.
6 And the men of Gibeon sent unto Joshua to the camp to Gilgal, saying: 'Slack not thy hands 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 together 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 amorrheos, que habitam na montanha, se ajuntaram contra nós
7 So Joshua went up from Gilgal, he, and all the people of war with him, and all the mighty men of valour.
Então subiu Josué de Gilgal, elle e toda a gente de guerra com elle, e todos os valentes e valorosos.
8 And the LORD said unto Joshua: 'Fear them not; for I have delivered them into thy hand; there shall not a man of them stand against thee.'
E o Senhor disse a Josué: Não os temas, porque os tenho dado na tua mão: nenhum d'elles parará diante de ti.
9 Joshua therefore came upon them suddenly; for he went up from Gilgal all the night.
E Josué lhes sobreveiu de repente, porque toda a noite veiu subindo desde Gilgal.
10 And the LORD discomfited them before Israel, and slew them with a great slaughter at Gibeon; and they chased them by the way of the ascent of Beth-horon, and smote them to Azekah, and unto 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, while they were at the descent of Beth-horon, that the LORD cast down great stones from heaven upon them unto Azekah, and they died; they were more who died with the hailstones than they whom the children of Israel slew with the sword.
E succedeu que, fugindo elles diante de Israel, á descida de Bethoron, o Senhor lançou sobre elles, 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 d'Israel mataram á espada.
12 Then spoke Joshua to the LORD in the day when the LORD delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel; and he said in the sight of Israel: 'Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon; and thou, Moon, in the valley of Aijalon.'
Então Josué fallou ao Senhor, no dia em que o Senhor deu os amorrheos na mão dos filhos de Israel, e disse aos olhos dos israelitas: Sol, detem-te em Gibeon, e tu, lua, no valle de Ajalon.
13 And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the nation had avenged themselves of their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jashar? And the sun stayed in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day.
E o sol se deteve, e a lua parou, até que o povo se vingou de seus inimigos. Isto não está escripto no livro do Recto? O sol pois se deteve no meio do céu, e não se apressou a pôr-se, quasi um dia inteiro.
14 And there was no day like that before it or after it, that the LORD hearkened unto the voice of a man; for the LORD fought for Israel.
E não houve dia similhante a este, nem antes nem depois d'elle, ouvindo o Senhor assim a voz d'um homem: porque o Senhor pelejava por Israel.
15 And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, unto the camp to Gilgal.
E tornou-se Josué, e todo o Israel com elle, ao arraial a Gilgal.
16 And these five kings fled, and hid themselves in the cave at Makkedah.
Aquelles cinco reis, porém, fugiram, e se esconderam n'uma cova em Makeda.
17 And it was told Joshua, saying: 'The five kings are found, hidden in the cave at Makkedah.'
E foi annunciado a Josué, dizendo: Acharam-se os cinco reis escondidos n'uma cova em Makeda.
18 And Joshua said: 'Roll great stones unto the mouth of the cave, and set men by it to keep them;
Disse pois Josué: Arrojae grandes pedras á bocca da cova, e ponde sobre ella homens que os guardem:
19 but stay not ye; pursue after your enemies, and smite the hindmost of them; suffer them not to enter into their cities; for the LORD your God hath delivered them into your hand.'
Porém vos não vos detenhaes; segui os vossos inimigos, e feri os que ficaram atraz: não os deixeis entrar nas suas cidades, porque o Senhor vosso Deus já vol-os deu na vossa mão
20 And it came to pass, when Joshua and the children of Israel had made an end of slaying them with a very great slaughter, till they were consumed, and the remnant which remained of them had entered into the fortified cities,
E succedeu que, acabando Josué e os filhos de Israel de os ferir a grande ferida, até consumil-os, e que os que ficaram d'elles se retiraram ás cidades fortes,
21 that all the people returned to the camp to Joshua at Makkedah in peace; none whetted his tongue against any of the children of Israel.
Todo o povo se tornou em paz a Josué, ao arraial em Makeda: não havendo ninguem que movesse a sua lingua contra os filhos de Israel.
22 Then said Joshua: 'Open the mouth of the cave, and bring forth those five kings unto me out of the cave.'
Depois disse Josué: Abri a bocca da cova, e trazei-me aquelles cinco reis para fóra da cova.
23 And they did so, and brought forth those five kings unto him 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 aquelles cinco reis para fóra da cova: o rei de Jerusalem, 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 brought forth those kings unto Joshua, that Joshua called for all the men of Israel, and said unto the chiefs of the men of war that went with him: 'Come near, put your feet upon the necks of these kings.' And they came near, and put their feet upon the necks of them.
E succedeu que, trazendo aquelles reis a Josué, Josué chamou todos os homens de Israel, e disse aos capitães da gente de guerra, que com elle foram: Chegae, ponde os vossos pés sobre os pescoços d'estes reis. E chegaram, e pozeram os seus pés sobre os seus pescoços.
25 And Joshua said unto them: 'Fear not, nor be dismayed; be strong and of good courage; for thus shall the LORD do to all your enemies against whom ye fight.'
Então Josué lhes disse: Não temaes, nem vos espanteis: esforçae-vos e animae-vos; porque assim o fará o Senhor a todos os vossos inimigos, contra os quaes pelejardes.
26 And afterward 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 d'isto, Josué os feriu e os matou, e os enforcou em cinco madeiros: e ficaram enforcados nos madeiros até á 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 wherein they had hidden themselves, and laid great stones on the mouth of the cave, unto this very day.
E succedeu que, ao tempo do pôr do sol, deu Josué ordem que os tirassem dos madeiros: e lançaram-n'os na cova onde se esconderam: e pozeram grandes pedras á bocca 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; he utterly destroyed them and all the souls that were therein, he left none remaining; and he did to the king of Makkedah as he had done unto the king of Jericho.
E n'aquelle mesmo dia tomou Josué a Makeda, e feriu-a a fio de espada, e destruiu o seu rei, a elles, e a toda a alma que n'ella havia; nada deixou de resto: e fez ao rei de Makeda como fizera ao rei de Jericó.
29 And Joshua passed from Makkedah, and all Israel with him, unto Libnah, and fought against Libnah.
Então Josué e todo o Israel com elle passou de Makeda a Libna, e pelejou contra Libna;
30 And the LORD delivered 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 left none remaining in it; and he did unto the king thereof as he had done unto the king of Jericho.
E tambem o Senhor a deu na mão d' Israel, a ella e a seu rei, e a feriu a fio de espada, a ella e a toda a alma que n'ella havia; nada deixou de resto: e fez ao seu rei como fizera ao rei de Jericó.
31 And Joshua passed from Libnah, and all Israel with him, unto Lachish, and encamped against it, and fought against it.
Então Josué, e todo o Israel com elle, passou de Libna a Lachis: e a sitiou, e pelejou contra ella;
32 And the LORD delivered Lachish into the hand of Israel, and he 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 d'Israel, e tomou-a no dia seguinte, e a feriu a fio de espada, a ella, e a toda a alma que n'ella 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 elle e ao seu povo, até que nenhum lhe deixou de resto.
34 And Joshua passed from Lachish, and all Israel with him, unto Eglon; and they encamped against it, and fought against it.
E Josué, e todo o Israel com elle, passou de Lachis a Eglon: e a sitiaram, e pelejaram contra ella:
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 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 n'ella havia, destruiu totalmente no mesmo dia: conforme a tudo o que fizera a Lachis.
36 And Joshua went up from Eglon, and all Israel with him, unto Hebron; and they fought against it.
Depois Josué, e todo o Israel com elle, subiu d'Eglon a Hebron, e pelejaram contra ella;
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 left none remaining, according to all that he had done to Eglon; but 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 n'ellas havia, a ninguem deixou com vida, conforme a tudo o que fizera a Eglon: e a destruiu totalmente, a ella e a toda a alma que n'ella havia.
38 And Joshua turned back, and all Israel with him, to Debir; and fought against it.
Então Josué, e todo o Israel com elle, tornou a Debir, e pelejou contra ella;
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 left none remaining; as he had done to Hebron, so he did to Debir, and to the king thereof; as he had done also to Libnah, 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 n'ellas 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 So Joshua smote all the land, the hill-country, and the South, and the Lowland, and the slopes, and all their kings; he left none remaining; but he utterly destroyed all that breathed, as the LORD, the God of Israel, commanded.
Assim feriu Josué toda aquella terra, as montanhas, o sul, e as campinas, e as descidas das aguas, e a todos os seus reis; nada deixou de resto: mas tudo o que tinha folego destruiu, como ordenara o Senhor Deus d'Israel.
41 And Joshua smote them from Kadesh-barnea even unto Gaza, and all the country of Goshen, even unto Gibeon.
E Josué os feriu desde Cades-barnea, e até Gaza: como tambem toda a terra de Gosen, e até Gibeon.
42 And all these kings and their land did Joshua take at one time, because the LORD, the God of Israel, fought for Israel.
E d'uma vez tomou Josué todos estes reis, e as suas terras: porquanto o Senhor Deus d'Israel pelejava por Israel.
43 And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, unto the camp to Gilgal.
Então Josué, e todo o Israel com elle, se tornou ao arraial em Gilgal.
