< Joshua 7 >

1 But the children of Israel committed a trespass in the accursed thing: for Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took of the accursed thing: and the anger of Yhwh was kindled against the children of Israel.
E trespassaram os filhos de Israel no anathema: porque Acan, filho de Carmi, filho de Zabdi, filho de Sera, da tribu de Judah, tomou do anathema, e a ira do Senhor se accendeu contra os filhos d'Israel.
2 And Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai, which is beside Beth–aven, on the east side of Beth–el, and spake unto them, saying, Go up and view the country. And the men went up and viewed Ai.
Enviando pois Josué de Jericó, alguns homens a Hai, que está junto a Bethaven, da banda do oriente de Beth-el, fallou-lhes, dizendo: Subi, e espiae a terra. Subiram pois aquelles homens, e espiaram a Hai.
3 And they returned to Joshua, and said unto him, Let not all the people go up; but let about two or three thousand men go up and smite Ai; and make not all the people to labour thither; for they are but few.
E voltaram a Josué, e disseram-lhe: Não suba todo o povo; subam alguns dois mil, ou tres mil homens, a ferir a Hai: não fatigues ali a todo o povo, porque poucos são.
4 So there went up thither of the people about three thousand men: and they fled before the men of Ai.
Assim, subiram lá do povo alguns tres mil homens, os quaes fugiram diante dos homens de Dai.
5 And the men of Ai smote of them about thirty and six men: for they chased them from before the gate even unto Shebarim, and smote them in the going down: wherefore the hearts of the people melted, and became as water.
E os homens de Hai feriram d'elles alguns trinta e seis, e seguiram-n'os desde a porta até Shebarim, e feriram-n'os na descida; e o coração do povo se derreteu e se tornou como agua.
6 And Joshua rent his clothes, and fell to the earth upon his face before the ark of Yhwh until the eventide, he and the elders of Israel, and put dust upon their heads.
Então Josué rasgou os seus vestidos, e se prostrou em terra sobre o seu rosto perante a arca do Senhor até á tarde, elle e os anciãos de Israel: e deitaram pó sobre as suas cabeças.
7 And Joshua said, Alas, O Lord Yhwh, wherefore hast thou at all brought this people over Jordan, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us? would to God we had been content, and dwelt on the other side Jordan!
E disse Josué: Ah Senhor Jehovah! porque, com effeito, fizeste passar a este povo o Jordão, para nos dares nas mãos dos amorrheos, para nos fazerem perecer? oxalá nos contentaramos com ficarmos d'além do Jordão.
8 O Lord, what shall I say, when Israel turneth their backs before their enemies!
Ah Senhor! que direi? pois Israel virou as costas diante dos seus inimigos!
9 For the Canaanites and all the inhabitants of the land shall hear of it, and shall environ us round, and cut off our name from the earth: and what wilt thou do unto thy great name?
Ouvindo isto, os cananeos, e todos os moradores da terra, nos cercarão e desarreigarão o nosso nome da terra: e então que farás ao teu grande nome?
10 And Yhwh said unto Joshua, Get thee up; wherefore liest thou thus upon thy face?
Então disse o Senhor a Josué: Levanta-te: porque estás prostrado assim sobre o teu rosto?
11 Israel hath sinned, and they have also transgressed my covenant which I commanded them: for they have even taken of the accursed thing, and have also stolen, and dissembled also, and they have put it even among their own stuff.
Israel peccou, e até transgrediram o meu concerto que lhes tinha ordenado, e até tomaram do anathema, e tambem furtaram, e tambem mentiram, e até debaixo da sua bagagem o pozeram.
12 Therefore the children of Israel could not stand before their enemies, but turned their backs before their enemies, because they were accursed: neither will I be with you any more, except ye destroy the accursed from among you.
Pelo que os filhos de Israel não poderam subsistir perante os seus inimigos: viraram as costas diante dos seus inimigos; porquanto estão amaldiçoados: não serei mais comvosco, se não desarreigardes o anathema do meio de vós.
13 Up, sanctify the people, and say, Sanctify yourselves against to morrow: for thus saith Yhwh God of Israel, There is an accursed thing in the midst of thee, O Israel: thou canst not stand before thine enemies, until ye take away the accursed thing from among you.
Levanta-te, sanctifica o povo, e dize: Sanctificae-vos para ámanhã, porque assim diz o Senhor, o Deus d'Israel: Anathema ha no meio de ti, Israel: diante dos teus inimigos não poderás suster-te, até que não tires o anathema do meio de vós.
14 In the morning therefore ye shall be brought according to your tribes: and it shall be, that the tribe which Yhwh taketh shall come according to the families thereof; and the family which Yhwh shall take shall come by households; and the household which Yhwh shall take shall come man by man.
Ámanhã pois vos chegareis, segundo as vossas tribus: e será que a tribu que o Senhor tomar se chegará, segundo as familias; e a familia que o Senhor tomar se chegará por casas; e a casa que o Senhor tomar se chegará homem por homem
15 And it shall be, that he that is taken with the accursed thing shall be burnt with fire, he and all that he hath: because he hath transgressed the covenant of Yhwh, and because he hath wrought folly in Israel.
E será que aquelle que fôr tomado com o anathema será queimado a fogo, elle e tudo quanto tiver: porquanto transgrediu o concerto do Senhor, e fez uma loucura em Israel.
16 So Joshua rose up early in the morning, and brought Israel by their tribes; and the tribe of Judah was taken:
Então Josué se levantou de madrugada, e fez chegar a Israel, segundo as suas tribus: e a tribu de Judah foi tomada:
17 And he brought the family of Judah; and he took the family of the Zarhites: and he brought the family of the Zarhites man by man; and Zabdi was taken:
E, fazendo chegar a tribu de Judah, tomou a familia de Zarchi: e, fazendo chegar a familia de Zarchi, homem por homem, foi tomado Zabdi:
18 And he brought his household man by man; and Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, was taken.
E, fazendo chegar a sua casa, homem por homem, foi tomado Acan, filho de Carmi, filho de Zabdi, filho de Serah, da tribu de Judah.
19 And Joshua said unto Achan, My son, give, I pray thee, glory to Yhwh God of Israel, and make confession unto him; and tell me now what thou hast done; hide it not from me.
Então disse Josué a Acan: Filho meu, dá, peço-te, gloria ao Senhor Deus de Israel, e faze confissão perante elle; e declara-me agora o que fizeste, não m'o occultes.
20 And Achan answered Joshua, and said, Indeed I have sinned against Yhwh God of Israel, and thus and thus have I done:
E respondeu Acan a Josué, e disse: Verdadeiramente pequei contra o Senhor Deus de Israel, e fiz assim e assim.
21 When I saw among the spoils a goodly Babylonish garment, and two hundred shekels of silver, and a wedge of gold of fifty shekels weight, then I coveted them, and took them; and, behold, they are hid in the earth in the midst of my tent, and the silver under it.
Quando vi entre os despojos uma boa capa babylonica, e duzentos siclos de prata, e uma cunha d'oiro do peso de cincoenta siclos, cobicei-os e tomei-os: e eis que estão escondidos na terra, no meio da minha tenda, e a prata debaixo d'ella.
22 So Joshua sent messengers, and they ran unto the tent; and, behold, it was hid in his tent, and the silver under it.
Então Josué enviou mensageiros, que foram correndo á tenda: e eis que estava escondido na sua tenda, e a prata debaixo d'ella.
23 And they took them out of the midst of the tent, and brought them unto Joshua, and unto all the children of Israel, and laid them out before Yhwh.
Tomaram pois aquellas coisas do meio da tenda, e as trouxeram a Josué e a todos os filhos de Israel: e as deitaram perante o Senhor.
24 And Joshua, and all Israel with him, took Achan the son of Zerah, and the silver, and the garment, and the wedge of gold, and his sons, and his daughters, and his oxen, and his donkeys, and his sheep, and his tent, and all that he had: and they brought them unto the valley of Achor.
Então Josué e todo o Israel com elle tomaram a Acan, filho de Serah, e a prata, e a capa, e a cunha de oiro, e a seus filhos, e a suas filhas, e a seus bois, e a seus jumentos, e a suas ovelhas, e a sua tenda, e a tudo quanto tinha: e levaram-n'os ao valle de Acor.
25 And Joshua said, Why hast thou troubled us? Yhwh shall trouble thee this day. And all Israel stoned him with stones, and burned them with fire, after they had stoned them with stones.
E disse Josué: Como nos turbaste? o Senhor te turbará a ti este dia. E todo o Israel o apedrejou com pedras, e os queimaram a fogo, e os apedrejaram com pedras.
26 And they raised over him a great heap of stones unto this day. So Yhwh turned from the fierceness of his anger. Wherefore the name of that place was called, The valley of Achor, unto this day.
E levantaram sobre elle um grande montão de pedras, até o dia de hoje; assim o Senhor se tornou do ardor da sua ira: pelo que se chamou o nome d'aquelle logar o valle d'Acor, até ao dia de hoje.
