Joshua 5
1 And it came to pass, when all the kings of the Amorites, which were beyond Jordan westward, and all the kings of the Canaanites, which were by the sea, heard how that the LORD had dried up the waters of Jordan from before the children of Israel, until we were passed over, that their heart melted, neither was there spirit in them any more, because of the children of Israel.
E succedeu que, ouvindo todos os reis dos amorrheos, que habitavam d'esta banda do Jordão, ao occidente, e todos os reis dos cananeos, que estavam ao pé do mar, que o Senhor tinha seccado as aguas do Jordão, de diante dos filhos d'Israel, até que passámos, derreteu-se-lhes o coração, e não houve mais animo n'elles, por causa dos filhos d'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.
N'aquelle tempo disse o Senhor a Josué: Faze facas de pedra, e torna a circumcidar segunda vez aos filhos d'Israel.
3 And Joshua made him knives of flint, and circumcised the children of Israel at the hill of the foreskins.
Então Josué fez para si facas de pedra, e circumcidou aos filhos d'Israel no monte dos prepucios.
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 circumcidou: todo o povo que tinha saido do Egypto, os machos, todos os homens de guerra, eram já mortos no deserto, pelo caminho, depois que sairam do Egypto.
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, they had not circumcised.
Porque todo o povo que saira estava circumcidado, mas a nenhum do povo que nascera no deserto, pelo caminho, depois de terem saido do Egypto, haviam circumcidado.
6 For the children of Israel walked forty years in the wilderness, till all the nation, even the men of war which came forth out of Egypt, were consumed, because they hearkened not unto the voice of the LORD: unto whom the LORD sware that he would not let them see the land which the LORD sware unto their fathers that he would give us, a land flowing with milk and honey.
Porque quarenta annos andaram os filhos d'Israel pelo deserto, até se acabar toda a nação, os homens de guerra, que sairam do Egypto, e não obedeceram á voz do Senhor: aos quaes o Senhor tinha jurado que lhes não havia de deixar ver a terra que o Senhor jurara a seus paes dar-nos; terra que mana leite e mel
7 And their children, whom he raised up in their stead, them did Joshua circumcise: for they were uncircumcised, because they had not circumcised them by the way.
Porém em seu logar poz a seus filhos; a estes Josué circumcidou: porquanto estavam incircumcisos, porque os não circumcidaram no caminho.
8 And it came to pass, when they had done circumcising all the nation, that they abode in their places in the camp, till they were whole.
E aconteceu que, acabando de circumcidar a toda a nação, ficaram no seu logar 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 opprobrio do Egypto; pelo que o nome d'aquelle logar se chamou Gilgal, até ao dia d'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 d'Israel alojados em Gilgal, celebraram a paschoa no dia quatorze do mez, á tarde, nas campinas de Jericó.
11 And they did eat of the old corn 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 anno antecedente, ao outro dia depois da paschoa, pães asmos e espigas tostadas, no mesmo dia.
12 And the manna ceased on the morrow, after they had eaten of the old corn 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 manná no dia seguinte, depois que comeram do trigo da terra do anno antecedente; e os filhos d'Israel não tiveram mais manná: porém no mesmo anno 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 succedeu que, estando Josué ao pé de Jericó, levantou os seus olhos, e olhou; e eis-que se poz em pé diante d'elle um homem que tinha na mão uma espada nua: e chegou-se Josué a elle, e disse-lhe: És tu dos nossos, ou dos nossos inimigos?
14 And he said, Nay; but [as] captain of the host of the LORD am I now come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and did worship, and said unto him, What saith my lord unto his servant?
E disse elle: Não, mas venho agora como principe do exercito 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 principe do exercito do Senhor a Josué: Descalça os sapatos de teus pés, porque o logar em que estás é sancto. E fez Josué assim.
