< Joshua 3 >
1 And he rose early Joshua in the morning and they set out from Shittim and they came to the Jordan he and all [the] people Israel and they stayed there before they passed over.
Josué levantou-se cedo pela manhã; e eles se mudaram de Shittim e vieram para o Jordão, ele e todas as crianças de Israel. Eles acamparam lá antes de atravessar.
2 And it was from [the] end of three days and they passed the officers in [the] midst of the camp.
Depois de três dias, os oficiais passaram pelo meio do acampamento;
3 And they commanded the people saying when see you [the] ark of [the] covenant of Yahweh God your and the priests the Levites carrying it and you you will set out from place your and you will go behind it.
e comandaram o povo, dizendo: “Quando você vir a arca de Yahweh, o pacto de seu Deus, e os sacerdotes levíticos que a carregam, então deixe seu lugar e a siga”.
4 Nevertheless - a distance it will be between you (and between it *Q(k)*) about two thousand cubit[s] by measurement may not you draw near to it so that that you may know the way which you will go in it for not you have passed in the way from yesterday three days ago.
No entanto, haverá um espaço entre você e ela de cerca de dois mil cúbitos por medida - não se aproxime dela - para que você possa saber o caminho pelo qual deve ir; pois você não passou por este caminho antes”.
5 And he said Joshua to the people consecrate yourselves for tomorrow he will do Yahweh in midst your wonders.
Josué disse ao povo: “Santificai-vos; porque amanhã Yahweh fará maravilhas entre vós”.
6 And he said Joshua to the priests saying lift up [the] ark of the covenant and pass over before the people and they lifted up [the] ark of the covenant and they went before the people.
Josué falou aos sacerdotes, dizendo: “Levantem a arca do pacto e atravessem diante do povo”. Eles pegaram a arca do pacto, e foram diante do povo.
7 And he said Yahweh to Joshua the day this I will begin to make great you in [the] eyes of all Israel that they will know! that just as I was with Moses I will be with you.
Yahweh disse a Josué: “Hoje começarei a ampliar-vos aos olhos de todo Israel, para que saibam que como eu estava com Moisés, assim estarei convosco”.
8 And you you will command the priests [the] bearers of [the] ark of the covenant saying when come you to [the] edge of [the] waters of the Jordan in the Jordan you will stand still.
Ordenarás aos sacerdotes que levam a arca da aliança, dizendo: 'Quando chegares à beira das águas do Jordão, ficarás parado no Jordão'”.
9 And he said Joshua to [the] people of Israel draw near hither and hear [the] words of Yahweh God your.
Josué disse às crianças de Israel: “Venham aqui, e ouçam as palavras de Javé, vosso Deus”.
10 And he said Joshua by this you will know! that God living [is] in midst your and certainly he will dispossess from before you the Canaanite[s] and the Hittite[s] and the Hivite[s] and the Perizzite[s] and the Girgashite[s] and the Amorite[s] and the Jebusite[s].
Josué disse: “Nisto vocês saberão que o Deus vivo está entre vocês, e que Ele expulsará sem falta o cananeu, o hivita, o hivita, o perizeu, o girgasita, o amorreu e o jebusita de diante de vocês”.
11 Here! [the] ark of the covenant [the] lord of all the earth [is] about to pass on before you in the Jordan.
Eis que a arca do pacto do Senhor de toda a terra passa diante de vocês para o Jordão.
12 And therefore take for yourselves two [plus] ten man from [the] tribes of Israel a man one a man one to the tribe.
Agora, portanto, tirem doze homens das tribos de Israel, para cada tribo um homem.
13 And it will be when rest [the] soles of [the] feet of the priests [the] bearers of [the] ark of Yahweh [the] lord of all the earth in [the] waters of the Jordan [the] waters of the Jordan they will be cut off! the waters that are coming down from to above so they may stand a heap one.
Será que quando as plantas dos pés dos sacerdotes que levam a arca de Javé, o Senhor de toda a terra, descansarem nas águas do Jordão, as águas do Jordão serão cortadas. As águas que descem de cima ficarão em uma só pilha”.
14 And it was when set out the people from tents their to pass over the Jordan and the priests [the] bearers of the ark the covenant before the people.
Quando o povo saiu de suas tendas para passar sobre o Jordão, os sacerdotes que levavam a arca do pacto estavam diante do povo,
15 And just as came [the] bearers of the ark to the Jordan and [the] feet of the priests [the] bearers of the ark they were dipped in [the] edge of the waters and the Jordan it is full over all banks its all [the] days of harvest.
e quando os que levavam a arca haviam chegado ao Jordão, e os pés dos sacerdotes que levavam a arca haviam mergulhado na beira da água (pois o Jordão transborda todas as suas margens todo o tempo da colheita),
16 And they stood the waters which came down from to above they rose a heap one far away very (from Adam *Q(K)*) the city which [is] from [the] side of Zarethan and which went down to [the] sea of the Arabah [the] Sea of Salt they were complete they were cut off and the people they passed over before Jericho.
as águas que desciam de cima se ergueram, e se ergueram em um grande amontoado, em Adão, a cidade que está ao lado de Zarethan; e as que desceram em direção ao mar de Arabah, até mesmo o Mar Salgado, foram totalmente cortadas. Então, o povo passou perto de Jericó.
17 And they stood the priests [the] bearers of the ark [the] covenant of Yahweh on the dry ground in [the] middle of the Jordan firmly and all Israel [were] passing over on the dry ground until that they had finished all the nation to pass over the Jordan.
Os sacerdotes que levavam a arca do pacto de Iavé permaneceram firmes em terra seca no meio do Jordão; e todo Israel atravessou em terra seca, até que toda a nação tivesse passado completamente sobre o Jordão.
