Joshua 10
1 Later, Adonizedek, the king of Jerusalem, heard that Joshua’s army had captured Ai [town] and had destroyed everything in the town. He heard that they had done to the people of Ai and to their king the same thing that they had done to the people of Jericho and their king. He also heard that the people of Gibeon [city] had made a peace treaty with the Israeli people, and that the people of Gibeon were now living near the Israelis and being protected by them.
Agora quando Adoni-Zedeque, rei de Jerusalém, ouviu como Josué havia tomado Ai, e o havia destruído completamente; como havia feito com Jericó e seu rei, assim fez com Ai e seu rei; e como os habitantes de Gibeon haviam feito as pazes com Israel, e estavam entre eles,
2 Because of that, he and the people whom he ruled became very afraid, because Gibeon was an important city, like the other cities that had kings. And [even though] Gibeon was a larger city than Ai and all its soldiers were good fighters, [they thought Joshua’s army might defeat them].
eles tinham muito medo, porque Gibeon era uma grande cidade, como uma das cidades reais, e porque era maior que Ai, e todos os seus homens eram poderosos.
3 So King Adonizedek sent a message to Hosham the king of Hebron [city], to Piram the king of Jarmuth [city], to Jarmuth the king of Lachish [city], and to Debir the king of Eglon [city].
Portanto Adoni-Zedek, rei de Jerusalém, enviou a Hoham rei de Hebron, Piram rei de Jarmuth, Japhia rei de Laquis, e Debir rei de Eglon, dizendo:
4 In the message he said, “Please come up with your armies and help me to attack Gibeon, because the people of Gibeon have made a peace treaty with Joshua and the Israelis.”
“Venha até mim e me ajude”. Vamos atacar Gibeon; pois eles fizeram as pazes com Josué e com os filhos de Israel”.
5 So those five kings who ruled all the groups who were descendants of Amor—the kings of Jerusalem, Hebron, Jarmuth, Lachish, and Debir—came up with all of their soldiers and surrounded the city. Then they prepared to attack it.
Therefore os cinco reis dos amorreus, o rei de Jerusalém, o rei de Hebron, o rei de Jarmute, o rei de Laquis e o rei de Eglon, se reuniram e subiram, eles e todos os seus exércitos, e acamparam contra Gibeon, e fizeram guerra contra ele.
6 So the people of Gibeon sent a message to Joshua while he was in the camp at Gilgal. They said, “We are your servants. So do not forsake us. Come up to us quickly and save us! Help us, because the kings of all of the groups descended from Amor and their armies have joined their forces and have come from the hilly area to attack us!”
Os homens de Gibeon enviaram a Josué no acampamento em Gilgal, dizendo: “Não abandone seus servos! Venha até nós rapidamente e nos salve! Ajude-nos; pois todos os reis dos amorreus que habitam na região montanhosa se reuniram contra nós”.
7 So Joshua and all his army, including the soldiers who were his best fighting men, marched up from Gilgal.
Então Josué subiu de Gilgal, ele e todo o exército com ele, incluindo todos os poderosos homens de valor.
8 Then Yahweh said to Joshua, “Do not be afraid of those armies! I will enable your army to defeat them [IDM]. None of them will be able to (resist/fight and defeat) your army.”
Yahweh disse a Joshua: “Não tenha medo deles, pois eu os entreguei em suas mãos”. Nem um homem deles estará diante de você”.
9 Joshua’s army marched all night and arrived very early in the morning.
Joshua, portanto, chegou a eles de repente. Ele marchou de Gilgal a noite toda.
10 They attacked their enemies before anyone knew that they had come. Yahweh caused their enemies to (become very confused/start running in all directions) when they saw the Israeli army. As a result, the Israeli army defeated them very severely at Gibeon [and killed many of them]. The rest of them fled along the road that goes up to Beth-Horon. But the Israeli army pursued them and killed them all along the road that goes to Azekah and Makkedah towns.
Yahweh confundiu-os diante de Israel. Ele os matou com uma grande matança em Gibeon, e os perseguiu pelo caminho da ascensão de Beth Horon, e os atingiu até Azekah e até Makkedah.
11 As they fled in front of the Israeli army, Yahweh threw down huge hailstones from the sky. As a result, more of them died from hailstones falling on them than died as a result of the Israeli army killing them with swords.
Quando fugiram de antes de Israel, enquanto estavam na descida de Beth Horon, Yahweh atirou grandes pedras do céu sobre eles para Azekah, e eles morreram. Havia mais pessoas que morreram das pedras de granizo do que aquelas que os filhos de Israel mataram com a espada.
12 On the day that Yahweh enabled the Israeli army to defeat the groups who were descendants of Amor, Joshua said to Yahweh while the Israeli people were listening, “Yahweh, cause the sun to stand still over Gibeon, and cause the moon to not move when it is over Aijalon Valley.”
Então Josué falou a Javé no dia em que Javé entregou os amorreus diante dos filhos de Israel. Ele disse aos olhos de Israel: “Sol, fique parado em Gibeon! Tu, lua, pára no vale de Aijalon”!
13 And that is what happened. The sun stood still, and the moon did not move, until the Israeli army defeated their enemies. That is what has been written in the book that Jashar wrote. The sun stopped while it was in the middle of the sky, and did not (set/go down) for about a whole day.
O sol ficou parado, e a lua permaneceu, até que a nação se vingasse de seus inimigos. Isto não está escrito no livro de Jashar? O sol permaneceu no meio do céu, e não se apressou a se pôr por um dia inteiro.
14 On that day Yahweh did a great miracle that someone asked him to do. There was never a day like that previously, and there has never been a day like that since. Yahweh was certainly fighting for the Israeli people!
Não havia um dia assim antes ou depois, que Iavé ouvisse a voz de um homem; pois Iavé lutou por Israel.
15 After Joshua’s army defeated their enemies, they all returned to their camp at Gilgal.
Josué voltou, e todo Israel com ele, ao acampamento em Gilgal.
16 While the enemy soldiers were fleeing from Joshua’s army, their five kings also fled and hid in a cave at Makkedah [town].
Estes cinco reis fugiram, e se esconderam na caverna em Makkedah.
17 Then someone told Joshua, “We found those five kings, hiding in a cave at Makkedah!”
Foi dito a Josué, dizendo: “Os cinco reis foram encontrados, escondidos na caverna em Makkedah”.
18 When Joshua heard that, he said, “Roll some very large rocks to the entrance of the cave so that the kings cannot escape, and leave some soldiers there to guard it.
Joshua disse: “Enrole grandes pedras para cobrir a entrada da caverna, e coloque homens ao seu lado para protegê-los;
19 But do not stay there! Pursue our enemies! Attack them from behind! Do not allow them to escape to their cities, because Yahweh, our God, will enable you to defeat/kill them. [IDM]”
mas não fique lá. Persiga seus inimigos e ataque-os pela retaguarda”. Não permita que entrem em suas cidades; pois Yahweh seu Deus os entregou em suas mãos”.
20 So Joshua’s army did what he told them to do. They killed almost all of the enemy soldiers, but a few of them were able to reach their cities and be safe inside the walls of the cities.
Quando Josué e as crianças de Israel terminaram de matá-los com um grande massacre até serem consumidos, e o resto que restava deles tinha entrado nas cidades fortificadas,
21 Then Joshua’s army returned to Joshua, who was still in their camp at Makkedah. No one in the land dared to criticize [MTY] the Israelis.
todo o povo voltou ao acampamento para Josué em Makkedah em paz. Nenhum mexeu sua língua contra nenhuma das crianças de Israel.
22 Then Joshua said, “Open the entrance of the cave, and bring out to me those five kings!”
Então Josué disse: “Abra a entrada da caverna e traga aqueles cinco reis para fora da caverna até mim”.
23 So the soldiers brought those five kings out of the cave—the kings of Jerusalem, Hebron, Jarmuth, Lachish, and Eglon.
Eles o fizeram e lhe trouxeram aqueles cinco reis da caverna: o rei de Jerusalém, o rei de Hebron, o rei de Jarmuth, o rei de Laquis e o rei de Eglon.
24 When they brought those kings to Joshua [and forced them to lie on the ground], he summoned all the Israeli soldiers, and then he said to the army commanders, “Come here and put your feet on the necks of these kings!” So the commanders did that.
Quando eles trouxeram aqueles reis para Josué, Josué chamou todos os homens de Israel e disse aos chefes dos homens de guerra que foram com ele: “Cheguem perto. Ponham seus pés no pescoço desses reis”. Eles se aproximaram e colocaram seus pés no pescoço.
25 Then Joshua said to them, “Do not be afraid of any of our enemies! Never be discouraged! Be strong and courageous. This is what Yahweh will do to all the enemies you will fight!”
Joshua disse-lhes: “Não tenham medo, nem se desesperem. Sejam fortes e corajosos, pois Yahweh fará isso com todos os seus inimigos contra os quais vocês lutam”.
26 Then Joshua killed each of the five kings with his sword, and told his soldiers to hang the bodies of the five kings on trees. So they did that, and they left the bodies hanging on the trees until sunset.
Depois disso, Joshua os atingiu, os matou e os enforcou em cinco árvores. Eles foram pendurados nas árvores até a noite.
27 At sunset, Joshua told them to take the bodies down from the trees and throw them into the cave where they had been hiding. So the soldiers did that, and then they put those large rocks at the entrance of the cave again. Those rocks are still there.
No momento do pôr do sol, Josué ordenou, e eles os tiraram das árvores, e os jogaram na caverna em que se haviam escondido, e colocaram grandes pedras na boca da caverna, que permanecem até hoje.
28 That is how Joshua’s army attacked and captured Makkedah. They killed the king and everyone else in the town. They did not leave anyone alive. They did to the king of Makkedah the same thing that they had done to the king of Jericho.
Josué tomou Makkedah naquele dia, e o golpeou com o fio da espada, com seu rei. Ele a destruiu completamente e a todas as almas que estavam nela. Ele não deixou ninguém restante. Ele fez com o rei de Makkedah como havia feito com o rei de Jericó.
29 That same day, Joshua and his Israeli army went [southwest] from Makkedah to Libnah [city] and attacked it.
Josué passou de Makkedah, e todo Israel com ele, para Libnah, e lutou contra Libnah.
30 Yahweh enabled the Israelis to conquer [MTY] that city and its king. They killed everyone in the city; they did not (spare anyone/allow anyone to remain alive). They killed the king of Libnah just like they had killed the king of Jericho.
Yahweh também o entregou, com seu rei, nas mãos de Israel. Ele a golpeou com o fio da espada, e todas as almas que estavam nela. Ele não deixou ninguém que nela permanecesse. Ele fez com seu rei, como havia feito com o rei de Jericó.
31 Then Joshua and his army went [south] from Libnah to Lachish [city]. They surrounded the city and attacked it.
Josué passou de Libnah, e todo Israel com ele, para Laquis, e se acampou contra ele, e lutou contra ele.
32 On the second day of the battle, Yahweh enabled the Israelis to conquer [MTY] the city. And like they had done at Libnah, they killed everyone [DOU] in the city.
Yahweh entregou Laquis nas mãos de Israel. Ele o tomou no segundo dia, e o atingiu com o fio da espada, com todas as almas que estavam nele, de acordo com tudo o que ele havia feito a Libnah.
33 King Horam from Gezer [city and his army] came to help [the soldiers of] Lachish, but Joshua’s [army] defeated Horam and his army, and did not allow any of them to remain alive.
Então Horam, rei de Gezer, subiu para ajudar Laquis; e Josué bateu nele e em seu povo, até que ele não lhe deixou mais ninguém.
34 Then Joshua and his army went [west] from Lachish to Eglon [city]. They surrounded the city and attacked it.
Josué passou de Laquis, e todo Israel com ele, para Eglon; e eles acamparam contra ele e lutaram contra ele.
35 On that day, they captured the city and killed [MTY] everyone in it [DOU], just like they had done at Lachish.
Eles a pegaram naquele dia, e a golpearam com o fio da espada. Ele destruiu completamente todas as almas que estavam nele naquele dia, de acordo com tudo o que ele havia feito a Laquis.
36 Then Joshua and his army went [west from Eglon] up [into the hills] to Hebron [city]. They attacked the city
Josué subiu de Eglon, e todo Israel com ele, para Hebron; e eles lutaram contra isso.
37 and captured it. They killed the king and everyone else, just like they had done at Eglon. They did not allow anyone to remain alive.
Eles a pegaram, e a golpearam com o fio da espada, com seu rei e todas as suas cidades, e todas as almas que estavam dentro dela. Ele não deixou ninguém restante, de acordo com tudo o que havia feito a Eglon; mas ele a destruiu totalmente, e todas as almas que estavam nela.
38 Then Joshua and his army turned [south] and went to Debir [city] and attacked it.
Josué voltou, e todo Israel com ele, a Debir, e lutou contra isso.
39 They captured the city and its king, and also captured the nearby towns. Then they killed everyone [DOU]; they did to the people there the same thing that they had done at Hebron and Libnah.
Ele o levou, com seu rei e todas as suas cidades. Eles os atingiram com o fio da espada, e destruíram completamente todas as almas que estavam nela. Ele não deixou ninguém restante. Como havia feito com Hebron, assim fez com Debir, e com seu rei; como havia feito também com Libnah, e com seu rei.
40 That is how Joshua [and his army] conquered the entire southern part of Canaan. They defeated the kings [who ruled] the hilly area, the dry southern area, the [western] foothills, and the [eastern] slopes. They killed everyone [DOU] in those areas; they did not allow anyone to remain alive.
Então Josué atingiu toda a terra, a região montanhosa, o Sul, as terras baixas, as encostas e todos os seus reis. Ele não deixou ninguém restante, mas destruiu completamente tudo o que respirava, como ordenou Yahweh, o Deus de Israel.
41 Joshua’s soldiers captured all the cities from Kadesh-Barnea [city] in the far south to Gaza [city] near the coast, including all the Goshen area, and north to Gibeon [city].
Josué os atingiu desde Kadesh Barnea até Gaza, e todo o país de Goshen, até Gibeon.
42 At that one time, Joshua’s army conquered all the kings and captured all the territory that they [ruled]. They were able to do that because Yahweh, the God whom the Israeli people [worship], was fighting for them.
Josué tomou todos esses reis e suas terras de uma só vez porque Javé, o Deus de Israel, lutou por Israel.
43 Then Joshua and his army returned to their camp at Gilgal.
Josué voltou, e todo Israel com ele, ao acampamento em Gilgal.
