< Joshua 11 >

1 It happened, when Jabin king of Hazor heard of it, that he sent to Jobab king of Maron, to the king of Shim'on, to the king of Achshaph,
Sucedeu depois disto que, ouvindo-o Jabin, rei de Hazor, enviou a Jobab, rei de Madon, e ao rei de Simron, e ao rei de Acsaph;
2 and to the kings who were on the north, in the hill country, in the Arabah south of Kinnereth, in the lowland, and in the heights of Dor on the west,
E os reis, que estavam ao norte, nas montanhas, e na campina para o sul de Cinneroth, e nas planícies, e em Naphoth-dor, da banda do mar;
3 to the Canaanite on the east and on the west, and the Amorite, and the Hethite, and the Perizzite, and the Jebusite in the hill country, and the Hivite under Hermon in the land of Mizpah.
Ao Cananeo do oriente e do ocidente; e ao amorreu, e ao hetheu, e ao pherezeu, e ao jebuseu nas montanhas: e ao heveu ao pé de Hermon, na terra de Mispah.
4 They went out, they and all their armies with them, many people, even as the sand that is on the seashore in multitude, with very many horses and chariots.
Sairam pois estes, e todos os seus exércitos com eles, muito povo, como a areia que está na praia do mar em multidão: e muitíssimos cavalos e carros.
5 All these kings met together; and they came and camped together at the waters of Merom, to fight with Israel.
Todos estes reis se ajuntaram, e vieram e se acamparam junto às águas de Merom, para pelejarem contra Israel.
6 The LORD said to Joshua, "Do not be afraid because of them; for tomorrow at this time, I will deliver them up all slain before Israel. You shall hamstring their horses and burn their chariots with fire."
E disse o Senhor a Josué: Não temas diante deles; porque amanhã a esta mesma hora eu os darei todos feridos diante dos filhos de Israel; os seus cavalos jarretarás, e os seus carros queimarás a fogo.
7 So Joshua came, and all the people of war with him, against them by the waters of Merom suddenly, and fell on them.
E Josué, e toda a gente de guerra com ele, veio apressadamente sobre eles às águas de Merom: e deram neles de repente.
8 The LORD delivered them into the hand of Israel, and they struck them, and chased them to Greater Sidon, and to Misrephoth Maim, and to the Valley of Mizpeh eastward. They struck them until they left them none remaining.
E o Senhor os deu na mão de Israel, e os feriram, e os seguiram até à grande Sidon, e até Misrephoth-main, e até ao vale de Mispah ao oriente; feriram-os até não lhes deixarem nenhum
9 Joshua did to them as the LORD told him. He hamstrung their horses and burnt their chariots with fire.
E fez-lhes Josué como o Senhor lhe dissera: os seus cavalos jarretou, e os seus carros queimou a fogo.
10 Joshua turned back at that time, and took Hazor, and struck its king with the sword: for Hazor used to be the head of all those kingdoms.
E naquele mesmo tempo tornou Josué, e tomou a Hazor, e feriu à espada ao seu rei: porquanto Hazor de antes era a cabeça de todos estes reinos.
11 They struck all the souls who were in it with the edge of the sword, utterly destroying them. There was no one left who breathed. He burnt Hazor with fire.
E a toda a alma, que nela havia, feriram ao fio da espada, e totalmente os destruiram; nada restou do que tinha fôlego, e a Hazor queimou com fogo.
12 Joshua captured all the cities of those kings, with their kings, and he struck them with the edge of the sword, and utterly destroyed them; as Moses the servant of the LORD commanded.
E Josué tomou todas as cidades destes reis, e todos os seus reis, e os feriu ao fio da espada, destruindo-os totalmente: como ordenara a Moisés servo do Senhor.
13 But as for the cities that stood on their mounds, Israel burned none of them, except Hazor only. Joshua burned that.
Tão somente não queimaram os israelitas as cidades que estavam sobre os seus outeiros: salvo somente Hazor, a qual Josué queimou.
14 The children of Israel took all the spoil of these cities, with the livestock, as spoils for themselves; but every man they struck with the edge of the sword, until they had destroyed them. They did not leave any who breathed.
E todos os despojos destas cidades, e o gado, os filhos de Israel saquearam para si: tão somente a todos os homens feriram ao fio da espada, até que os destruiram: nada do que fôlego tinha deixaram com vida.
15 As the LORD commanded Moses his servant, so Moses commanded Joshua. Joshua did so. He left nothing undone of all that the LORD commanded Moses.
Como ordenara o Senhor a Moisés seu servo, assim Moisés ordenou a Josué: e assim Josué o fez; nem uma só palavra tirou de tudo o que o Senhor ordenara a Moisés.
16 So Joshua captured all that land, the hill country, all the Negev, all the land of Goshen, the lowland, the Arabah, the hill country of Israel, and the lowland of the same;
Assim Josué tomou toda aquela terra, as montanhas, e todo o sul, e toda a terra de Gosen, e as planícies, e as campinas, e as montanhas de Israel; e as suas planícies;
17 from Mount Halak, that goes up to Seir, even to Baal Gad in the Valley of Lebanon under Mount Hermon. He took all their kings, struck them, and put them to death.
Desde o monte calvo, que sobe a Seir, até Baal-gad, no vale do líbano, às raízes do monte de Hermon: também tomou todos os seus reis, e os feriu e os matou.
18 Joshua made war a long time with all those kings.
Por muitos dias Josué fez guerra contra todos estes reis.
19 There was not a city that made peace with the children of Israel, except the Hivites, the inhabitants of Gibeon. They took all in battle.
Não houve cidade que fizesse paz com os filhos de Israel, senão os heveus, moradores de Gibeon: por guerra as tomaram todas.
20 For it was of the LORD to harden their hearts, to come against Israel in battle, that he might utterly destroy them, that they might have no favor, but that he might destroy them, as the LORD commanded Moses.
Porquanto do Senhor vinha, que os seus corações endurecessem, para sairem ao encontro a Israel na guerra, para os destruir totalmente, para se não ter piedade deles; mas para os destruir a todos, como o Senhor tinha ordenado a Moisés.
21 Joshua came at that time, and cut off the Anakim from the hill country, from Hebron, from Debir, from Anab, and from all the hill country of Judah, and from all the hill country of Israel: Joshua utterly destroyed them with their cities.
Naquele tempo veio Josué, e extirpou os enaquins das montanhas de Hebron, de Debir, de anab, e de todas as montanhas de Judá, e de todas as montanhas de Israel: Josué os destruiu totalmente com as suas cidades.
22 There were none of the Anakim left in the land of the children of Israel. Only in Gaza, in Gath, and in Ashdod, did some remain.
Nenhum dos enaquins ficou de resto na terra dos filhos de Israel: somente ficaram de resto em Gaza, em Gath, e em Asdod.
23 So Joshua took the whole land, according to all that the LORD spoke to Moses; and Joshua gave it for an inheritance to Israel according to their divisions by their tribes. The land had rest from war.
Assim Josué tomou toda esta terra, conforme a tudo o que o Senhor tinha dito a Moisés; e Josué a deu em herança aos filhos de Israel, conforme às suas divisões, conforme às suas tribos: e a terra repousou da guerra
