Joshua 5
1 And it came to pass, when all the kings of the Amorites, that were beyond the Jordan westward, and all the kings of the Canaanites, that were by the sea, heard how that the LORD had dried up the waters of the Jordan from before the children of Israel, until they were passed over, that their heart melted, neither was there 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 the LORD said unto Joshua: 'Make thee knives of flint, 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 knives of flint, and circumcised the children of Israel at Gibeath-ha-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 did circumcise: all the people that came forth out of Egypt, that were males, even all the men of war, died in the wilderness by the way, after they came forth 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 by the way as they came forth out of Egypt, had not been 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 walked forty years in the wilderness, till all the nation, even the men of war that came forth out of Egypt, were consumed, because they hearkened not unto the voice of the LORD; unto whom the LORD swore that He would not let them see the land which the LORD swore 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 He raised up their children in their stead; them did Joshua circumcise; for they were uncircumcised, because they had not been circumcised by 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 all the nation were circumcised, every one of them, that they abode in their places 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 the LORD said unto Joshua: 'This day have I rolled away the reproach of Egypt from off you.' Wherefore the name of that place was called Gilgal, unto 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 they kept 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 did eat of the produce of the land on the morrow after the passover, unleavened cakes and parched corn, in the selfsame 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, after they had eaten of the produce of the land; neither had the children of Israel manna any more; but they did eat of the fruit 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 over against him with his sword drawn in his hand; and Joshua went unto him, and said unto him: 'Art thou for us, or for our adversaries?'
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: 'Nay, but I am captain of the host of the LORD; I am now come.' And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and bowed down, and said unto 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 the LORD'S host said unto Joshua: 'Put off thy shoe 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.
