< Joshua 6 >
1 (NOW Jericho was straitly shut up because of the children of Israel: none went out, and none came in.)
Porém Jericó estava fechada, bem fechada, por causa dos filhos de Israel: ninguém entrava, nem saía.
2 And the LORD said unto Joshua, See, I have given into thine hand Jericho, and the king thereof, and the mighty men of valour.
Mas o SENHOR disse a Josué: Olha, eu entreguei em tua mão a Jericó e a seu rei, com seus homens de guerra.
3 And ye shall compass the city, all the men of war, going about the city once. Thus shalt thou do six days.
Cercareis, pois, a cidade todos os homens de guerra, indo ao redor da cidade uma vez: e isto fareis seis dias.
4 And seven priests shall bear seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the ark: and the seventh day ye shall compass the city seven times, and the priests shall blow with the trumpets.
E sete sacerdotes levarão sete trombetas de chifres de carneiros diante da arca; e ao sétimo dia dareis sete voltas à cidade, e os sacerdotes tocarão as trombetas.
5 And it shall be, that when they make a long blast with the ram’s horn, and when ye hear the sound of the trumpet, all the people shall shout with a great shout; and the wall of the city shall fall down flat, and the people shall go up every man straight before him.
E quando tocarem prolongadamente a trombeta de carneiro, assim que ouvirdes o som da trombeta, todo aquele povo gritará a grande voz, e o muro da cidade cairá debaixo de si: então o povo subirá cada um em frente de si.
6 And Joshua the son of Nun called the priests, and said unto them, Take up the ark of the covenant, and let seven priests bear seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the ark of the LORD.
E chamando Josué filho de Num aos sacerdotes, lhes disse: Levai a arca do pacto, e sete sacerdotes levem trombetas de chifres de carneiros diante da arca do SENHOR.
7 And they said unto the people, Pass on, and compass the city, and let the armed men pass on before the ark of the LORD.
E disse ao povo: Passai, e rodeai a cidade; e os que estão armados passarão diante da arca do SENHOR.
8 And it was so, that when Joshua had spoken unto the people, the seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the LORD passed on, and blew with the trumpets: and the ark of the covenant of the LORD followed them.
E assim que Josué falou ao povo, os sete sacerdotes, levando as sete trombetas de chifres de carneiros, passaram diante da arca do SENHOR, e tocaram as trombetas: e a arca do pacto do SENHOR os seguia.
9 And the armed men went before the priests that blew the trumpets, and the rearward went after the ark, [the priests] blowing with the trumpets as they went.
E os homens armados iam diante dos sacerdotes que tocavam as trombetas, e a gente reunida ia detrás da arca, andando e tocando trombetas.
10 And Joshua commanded the people, saying, Ye shall not shout, nor let your voice be heard, neither shall any word proceed out of your mouth, until the day I bid you shout; then shall ye shout.
E Josué mandou ao povo, dizendo: Vós não dareis grito, nem se ouvirá vossa voz, nem sairá palavra de vossa boca, até o dia que eu vos diga: Gritai: então dareis grito.
11 So he caused the ark of the LORD to compass the city, going about it once: and they came into the camp, and lodged in the camp.
Então a arca do SENHOR deu uma volta ao redor da cidade, e vieram-se ao acampamento, no qual tiveram a noite.
12 And Joshua rose early in the morning, and the priests took up the ark of the LORD.
E Josué se levantou de manhã, e os sacerdotes tomaram a arca do SENHOR.
13 And the seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the ark of the LORD went on continually, and blew with the trumpets; and the armed men went before them; and the rearward came after the ark of the LORD, [the priests] blowing with the trumpets as they went.
E os sete sacerdotes, levando as sete trombetas de chifres de carneiros, foram diante da arca do SENHOR, andando sempre e tocando as trombetas; e os armados iam diante deles, e a gente reunida ia detrás da arca do SENHOR, andando e tocando l
14 And the second day they compassed the city once, and returned into the camp: so they did six days.
Assim deram outra volta à cidade o segundo dia, e voltaram ao acampamento: desta maneira fizeram por seis dias.
15 And it came to pass on the seventh day, that they rose early at the dawning of the day, and compassed the city after the same manner seven times: only on that day they compassed the city seven times.
E ao sétimo dia levantaram-se quando subia a alva, e deram volta à cidade da mesma maneira sete vezes: somente este dia deram volta ao redor dela sete vezes.
16 And it came to pass at the seventh time, when the priests blew with the trumpets, Joshua said unto the people, Shout; for the LORD hath given you the city.
E quando os sacerdotes tocaram as trombetas pela sétima vez, Josué disse ao povo: Dai grito, porque o SENHOR vos entregou a cidade.
17 And the city shall be devoted, even it and all that is therein, to the LORD: only Rahab the harlot shall live, she and all that are with her in the house, because she hid the messengers that we sent.
Mas a cidade será anátema ao SENHOR, ela com todas as coisas que estão nela: somente Raabe a prostituta viverá, com todos os que estiverem em casa com ela, porquanto escondeu os mensageiros que enviamos.
18 And ye, in any wise keep yourselves from the devoted thing, lest when ye have devoted it, ye take of the devoted thing; so should ye make the camp of Israel accursed, and trouble it.
Porém guardai-vos vós do anátema, que nem toqueis, nem tomeis alguma coisa do anátema, porque não façais anátema o acampamento de Israel, e o perturbeis.
19 But all the silver, and gold, and vessels of brass and iron, are holy unto the LORD: they shall come into the treasury of the LORD.
Mas toda a prata, e o ouro, e vasos de bronze e de ferro, seja consagrado ao SENHOR, e venha ao tesouro do SENHOR.
20 So the people shouted, and [the priests] blew with the trumpets: and it came to pass, when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, that the people shouted with a great shout, and the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they took the city.
Então o povo deu grito, e os sacerdotes tocaram as trombetas: e aconteceu que quando o povo ouviu o som da trombeta, deu o povo grito com grande barulho, e o muro caiu verticalmente. O povo subiu logo à cidade, cada um em frente de si, e tomaram-na.
21 And they utterly destroyed all that was in the city, both man and woman, both young and old, and ox, and sheep, and ass, with the edge of the sword.
E destruíram tudo o que na cidade havia; homens e mulheres, moços e anciãos, até os bois, e ovelhas, e asnos, a fio de espada.
22 And Joshua said unto the two men that had spied out the land, Go into the harlot’s house, and bring out thence the woman, and all that she hath, as ye sware unto her.
Mas Josué disse aos dois homens que haviam reconhecido a terra: Entrai em casa da mulher prostituta, e fazei sair dali à mulher, e a tudo o que for seu, como o jurastes.
23 And the young men the spies went in, and brought out Rahab, and her father, and her mother, and her brethren, and all that she had, all her kindred also they brought out; and they set them without the camp of Israel.
E os rapazes espias entraram, e tiraram a Raabe, e a seu pai, e a sua mãe, e a seus irmãos, e todo o que era seu; e também tiraram a toda sua parentela, e puseram-nos fora do acampamento de Israel.
24 And they burnt the city with fire, and all that was therein: only the silver, and the gold, and the vessels of brass and of iron, they put into the treasury of the house of the LORD.
E consumiram com fogo a cidade, e tudo o que nela havia: somente puseram no tesouro da casa do SENHOR a prata, e o ouro, e os vasos de bronze e de ferro.
25 But Rahab the harlot, and her father’s household, and all that she had, did Joshua save alive; and she dwelt in the midst of Israel, unto this day; because she hid the messengers, which Joshua sent to spy out Jericho.
Mas Josué salvou a vida a Raabe a prostituta, e à casa de seu pai, e a tudo o que ela tinha: e habitou ela entre os israelitas até hoje; porquanto escondeu os mensageiros que Josué enviou a reconhecer a Jericó.
26 And Joshua charged them with an oath at that time, saying, Cursed be the man before the LORD, that riseth up and buildeth this city Jericho: with the loss of his firstborn shall he lay the foundation thereof, and with the loss of his youngest son shall he set up the gates of it.
E naquele tempo Josué lhes juramentou dizendo: Maldito diante do SENHOR o homem que se levantar e reedificar esta cidade de Jericó. Em seu primogênito lance seus alicerces, e em seu menor assente suas portas.
27 So the LORD was with Joshua; and his fame was in all the land.
Foi, pois, o SENHOR com Josué, e seu nome se divulgou por toda a terra.
