< Joshua 6 >

1 Now, Jericho, was shut up and barred because of the sons of Israel, —none came out and none went in.
Ora Jericó cerrou-se, e estava cerrada por causa dos filhos de Israel: nenhum saía nem entrava.
2 Then said Yahweh unto Joshua, See, I have delivered, into thy hand, Jericho and her king, —the mighty men of valour.
Então disse o Senhor a Josué: Olha, tenho dado na tua mão a Jericó e ao seu rei, os seus valentes e valorosos.
3 So then ye shall compass the city all ye men of war, going round the city, once, —thus, shall thou do six days.
Vós pois, todos os homens de guerra, rodeareis a cidade, cercando a cidade uma vez: assim fareis por seis dias.
4 And, seven priests, shall bear the seven rams’ horns before the ark, and, on the seventh day, shall ye compass the city seven times, —and, the priests, shall blow with the horns.
E sete sacerdotes levarão sete buzinas de carneiros diante da arca, e no sétimo dia rodeareis a cidade sete vezes: e os sacerdotes tocarão as buzinas.
5 And it shall come to pass, when the ram’s horn soundeth, when ye hear the sound of the horn, that all the people shall shout with a great shout, —and then shall the wall of the city fall down under it, and the people shall go up, every man straight before him.
E será que, tocando-se longamente a buzina de carneiro, ouvindo vós o sonido da buzina, todo o povo gritará com grande grita: e o muro da cidade cairá abaixo de si, e o povo subirá nele, cada qual em frente de si.
6 Then called Joshua son of Nun unto the priests, and said unto them, Bear ye the ark of the covenant, —and let, seven priest, bear seven rams horns, before the ark of Yahweh.
Então chamou Josué, filho de Nun, aos sacerdotes, e disse-lhes: levai a arca do concerto; e sete sacerdotes levem sete buzinas de carneiros, diante da arca do Senhor.
7 Then said he unto the people, Pass on and compass the city, —and let, the armed host, pass on before the ark of Yahweh.
E disse ao povo: passai e rodeai a cidade; e quem estiver armado, passe diante da arca do Senhor.
8 And it was so, when Joshua had spoken unto the people, that, the seven priests who were bearing the seven rams’ horns before Yahweh, passed on and blew with the horns, —the ark of the covenant of Yahweh also coming after them.
E assim foi, como Josué dissera ao povo, que os sete sacerdotes, levando as sete buzinas de carneiros diante do Senhor, passaram, e tocaram as buzinas: e a arca do concerto do Senhor os seguia.
9 And, the armed host, went on before the priests who blew with the horns, —and, the rear-guard, came after the ark, going on and blowing with the horns.
E os armados iam adiante dos sacerdotes, que tocavam as buzinas: e a retaguarda seguia após da arca, andando e tocando as buzinas.
10 Now, unto the people, had Joshua given command, saying—Ye shall not shout nor let your voice be heard, neither shall there go out of your mouth, a word, —until the day when I say unto you Shout! then shall ye shout.
Porém ao povo Josué tinha dado ordem, dizendo: Não gritareis, nem fareis ouvir a vossa voz, nem sairá palavra alguma da vossa boca, até ao dia que eu vos diga: gritai. Então gritareis.
11 So he caused the ark of Yahweh to compass the city, going round once, —and they came into the camp, and lodged in the camp.
E fez a arca do Senhor rodeiar a cidade, rodeiando-a uma vez: e vieram ao arraial, e passaram a noite no arraial.
12 And Joshua rose early in the morning, —and the priests bare the ark of Yahweh;
Depois Josué se levantou de madrugada, e os sacerdotes levaram a arca do Senhor.
13 and, the seven priests who bare the seven rams’ horns before the ark of Yahweh, went on and on, and blew with the horns, —with, the armed host going on before them, and, the rear-guard, coming after the ark of Yahweh, going on and blowing with the horns.
E os sete sacerdotes, que levavam as sete buzinas de carneiros diante da arca do Senhor, iam andando, e tocavam as buzinas, e os armados iam adiante deles, e a retaguarda seguia atráz da arca do Senhor; os sacerdotes iam andando e tocando as buzinas.
14 So they compassed the city on the second day once, and returned into the camp, —thus, did they, six days.
Assim rodearam outra vez a cidade no segundo dia e tornaram para o arraial: e assim fizeram seis dias.
15 And it came to pass, on the seventh day, that they rose early at the uprisings of the dawn, and compassed the city after this manner, seven times, —only on that day they compassed the city seven times.
E sucedeu que ao sétimo dia madrugaram ao subir da alva, e da mesma maneira rodearam a cidade sete vezes: naquele dia somente rodearam a cidade sete vezes.
16 And it came to pass, at the seventh time—when the priests blew with the horns, then did Joshua say unto the people—Shout, for Yahweh hath delivered unto you the city.
E sucedeu que, tocando os sacerdotes a sétima vez as buzinas, disse Josué ao povo: gritai; porque o Senhor vos tem dado a cidade.
17 And it shall be, that, as for the city, devoted, shall it be and all that is therein unto Yahweh, —nevertheless, Rahab the harlot, shall live, she and all who are with her in the house, because she hid the messengers whom we sent.
Porém a cidade será anátema ao Senhor, ela e tudo quanto houver nela: somente a prostituta Rahab viverá, ela e todos os que com ela estiverem em casa; porquanto escondeu os mensageiros que enviamos.
18 But, in any wise, do, ye, beware of what is devoted, lest ye should covet, and then take of what is devoted, —and so cause the camp of Israel to be devoted, and bring trouble upon it.
Tão somente guardai-vos do anátema, para que não vos metais em anátema tomando dela, e assim façais maldito o arraial de Israel, e o turbeis.
19 But, as for all silver and gold and vessels of bronze and iron, hallowed, it is to Yahweh, —unto the treasury of Yahweh, shall it come.
Porém toda a prata, e o ouro, e os vasos de metal, e de ferro, são consagrados ao Senhor: irão ao tesouro do Senhor.
20 So the people shouted, when the horns were blown, —yea it came to pass, when the people heard the sound of the horn, that the people shouted with a great shout, and the wall fell down under it, and the people went up into the city every man straight before him, and so they captured the city.
Gritou pois o povo, tocando os sacerdotes as buzinas: e sucedeu que, ouvindo o povo o sonido da buzina, gritou o povo com grande grita; e o muro caiu abaixo, e o povo subiu à cidade, cada qual em frente de si, e tomaram a cidade.
21 And they devoted all that were in the city, both man and woman, both young and old, —and ox and sheep and ass, with the edge of the sword.
E, tudo quanto na cidade havia, destruiram totalmente ao fio da espada, desde o homem até à mulher, desde o menino até ao velho, e até ao boi e gado miúdo, e ao jumento.
22 But, unto the two men who spied out the land, Joshua said, Go into the house of the woman, the harlot, —and bring out thence the woman and all that she hath, as ye aware unto her.
Josué, porém, disse aos dois homens que tinham espiado a terra: entrai na casa da mulher prostituta, e tirai de lá a mulher com tudo quanto tiver, como lhe tendes jurado.
23 So 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, yea, all her kindred, brought they out, —and set them outside the camp of Israel.
Então entraram os mancebos espias, e tiraram a Rahab, e a seu pai, e a sua mãe, e a seus irmãos, e a tudo quanto tinha; tiraram também a todas as suas famílias, e puseram-nos fora do arraial de Israel.
24 But, the city, burned they with fire, and all that was therein, —save only, the silver and the gold and the vessels of bronze and of iron, put they into the treasury of the house of Yahweh.
Porém a cidade e tudo quanto havia nela queimaram-no a fogo: tão somente a prata, e o ouro, e os vasos de metal e de ferro, deram para o tesouro da casa do Senhor.
25 And, Rahab the harlot and the household of her father and all that she had, did Joshua save alive, so she hath dwelt in the midst of Israel until this day, —because she hid the messengers whom Joshua sent to spy out Jericho.
Assim deu Josué vida à prostituta Rahab, e à família de seu pai, e a tudo quanto tinha; e habitou no meio de Israel até ao dia de hoje: porquanto escondera os mensageiros que Josué tinha enviado a espiar a Jericó.
26 And Joshua imposed an oath at that time, saying, —Cursed be the man before Yahweh who shall raise up and build this city—Jericho, At the price of his firstborn, shall he lay its foundation, and, at the price of his youngest, shall he set up its doors.
E naquele tempo Josué os esconjurou, dizendo: Maldito diante do Senhor seja o homem que se levantar e reedificar esta cidade de Jericó: no seu primogênito a fundará, e no seu filho mais novo lhe porá as portas.
27 And so it was that Yahweh was with Joshua, —and his fame was in all the land.
Assim era o Senhor com Josué: e corria a sua fama por toda a terra.
