Joshua 11
1 When King Jabin of Hazor [city] heard [about all those things that had happened], he sent messages to Jobab, the king of Madon [city], to the king of Shimron [city], and to the king of Acshaph [city], [requesting them to send their armies to come and help him fight against the Israelis].
Ouvindo isto Jabim rei de Hazor, enviou mensagem a Jobabe rei de Madom, e ao rei de Sinrom, e ao rei de Acsafe,
2 He also sent messages to the kings in the northern hilly area and to the kings in the Jordan [River] Valley, south of Galilee [Lake] and in the western hills. He sent a message to the king of Naphoth-Dor [in the west]
E aos reis que estavam à parte do norte nas montanhas, e na planície ao sul de Quinerete, e nas planícies, e nas regiões de Dor ao ocidente;
3 and to the kings of the Canaan people-group in the eastern and western parts of the land. He sent messages to the Amor people-group and the Heth people-group and the Periz people-group and the Jebus people-group who lived in the hilly area. He also sent a message to the Hiv people-group who lived below Hermon [Mountain] in the Mizpah area.
E aos cananeus que estava ao oriente e ao ocidente, e aos amorreus, e ao Heteu, e aos perizeus, e aos jebuseus nas montanhas, e aos heveus debaixo de Hermom em terra de Mispá.
4 So the armies of all those kings gathered together, bringing their horses and chariots. [There seemed to be] [HYP] as many soldiers as grains of sand on the seashore.
Estes saíram, e com eles todos os seus exércitos, povo muito em grande maneira, como a areia que está à beira do mar, com grande multidão de cavalos e carros.
5 All of those kings [and their armies] gathered together at Merom Pond, [and they set up their tents there]. Then they made plans to fight against the Israelis.
Todos estes reis se juntaram, e vindo reuniram os acampamentos junto às águas de Merom, para lutar contra Israel.
6 Then Yahweh said to Joshua, “Do not be afraid of them, because at this time tomorrow I will enable your men to defeat them. Your men must also cripple their horses and burn their chariots.”
Mas o SENHOR disse a Josué: Não tenhas medo deles, que amanhã a esta hora eu entregarei a todos estes, mortos diante de Israel: a seus cavalos aleijarás, e seus carros queimarás ao fogo.
7 So Joshua and his army traveled to Merom Pond and attacked their enemies (by surprise/before they were ready to fight).
E veio Josué, e com ele todo aquele povo de guerra, contra eles, e deu de repente sobre eles junto às águas de Merom.
8 Yahweh enabled the Israelis to defeat them. They pursued them to Sidon [city in the far north], and to Misrephoth-Maim [in the northwest], and to Mizpah Valley in the northeast. The Israelis fought them until (they were all dead/there were no survivors).
E entregou-os o SENHOR em mãos de Israel, os quais os feriram e seguiram até a grande Sidom, e até as águas quentes, e até a planície de Mispá ao oriente, ferindo-os até que não lhes deixaram ninguém.
9 Then Joshua and his men did what Yahweh told them to do: They crippled their enemies’ horses and burned their chariots.
E Josué fez com eles como o SENHOR lhe havia mandado: aleijou seus cavalos, e seus carros queimou ao fogo.
10 The king of Hazor had ruled the people of all the kingdoms whose armies had fought against the Israelis. So Joshua’s army went back to Hazor and captured that city and killed their king.
E voltando-se Josué, tomou no mesmo tempo a Hazor, e feriu à espada a seu rei: a qual Hazor havia sido antes cabeça de todos estes reinos.
11 They killed everyone in Hazor; (they did not spare anyone/no one was left alive) [DOU]. Then they burned the city.
E feriram à espada todo quanto nela havia vivo, destruindo e não deixando coisa com vida; e a Hazor puseram a fogo.
12 Joshua’s army captured all of those cities and killed all of their kings. They did that like Moses, the man who served Yahweh [well], had commanded them to do.
Também tomou Josué todas as cidades destes reis, e a todos os reis delas, e os meteu à espada, e os destruiu, como Moisés servo do SENHOR o havia mandado.
13 Joshua’s men burned Hazor [city], but they did not burn any of the other cities that were built on small hills.
Porém todas as cidades que estavam em suas colinas, não as queimou Israel, tirando a só Hazor, a qual queimou Josué.
14 The Israelis took for themselves the animals that they found in those cities and everything else [that was valuable] [DOU]. But they killed all the people.
E os filhos de Israel tomaram para si todos os despojos e animais daquelas cidades: mas a todos os homens feriram à espada até destruí-los, sem deixar alguém com vida.
15 [Many years before], Yahweh had told Moses to do that, and then Moses told Joshua to do it. So Joshua did everything that Yahweh had commanded Moses to do.
Da maneira que o SENHOR o havia mandado a Moisés seu servo, assim Moisés o mandou a Josué: e assim Josué o fez, sem tirar palavra de tudo o que o SENHOR havia mandado a Moisés.
16 Joshua’s [army] defeated all the people who were living in that land. They took control over the hilly area and the area in the southern part of Canaan, all the area of Goshen, the western foothills, and the Jordan [River] Valley. They took control over all the mountains in Israel and all the hills near the mountains.
Tomou, pois, Josué toda aquela terra, as montanhas, e toda a região do sul, e toda a terra de Gósen, e os terrenos baixos e as planícies, e a região montanhosa de Israel e seus vales.
17 They took control of all the land from Halak Mountain [in the south] up to the Seir [hilly area] as far as Baal-Gaal in Lebanon Valley [in the north], at the bottom of Hermon Mountain. They captured all the kings of those areas and killed them.
Desde o monte de Halaque, que sobe até Seir, até Baal-Gade na planície do Líbano, às raízes do monte Hermom: tomou também todos os seus reis, os quais feriu e matou.
18 Joshua’s men fought against those groups for many years.
Por muitos dias teve guerra Josué com estes reis.
19 There was only one group that made a peace agreement with the Israelis; they were the people of the Hiv people-group who lived in Gibeon. The Israelis captured all the other towns in battles.
Não houve cidade que fizesse paz com os filhos de Israel, a não ser os heveus, que moravam em Gibeão: tudo o tomaram por guerra.
20 Yahweh caused the people in all those other groups to be stubborn [IDM], with the result that they fought against the Israeli army, and the Israelis killed them all. They were not merciful to any of them. That is what Yahweh had commanded Moses to do.
Porque isto veio do SENHOR, que endurecia o coração deles para que resistissem com guerra a Israel, para destruí-los, e que não lhes fosse feita misericórdia, antes fossem desarraigados, como o SENHOR o havia mandado a Moisés.
21 Joshua’s army also fought the Anak people-group who lived in the hills near Hebron, Debir, and Anah [cities]. They also fought against the people who lived in the hilly area of Judah and Israel, and they killed all of those people and destroyed their cities.
Também no mesmo tempo veio Josué e destruiu os anaquins dos montes, de Hebrom, de Debir, e de Anabe, e de todos os montes de Judá, e de todos os montes de Israel: Josué os destruiu a eles e a suas cidades.
22 As a result, there were no descendants of Anak who remained alive in Israel. Only a few remained alive in Gaza, Gath, and Ashdod [cities].
Nenhum dos anaquins restou na terra dos filhos de Israel; somente restaram em Gaza, em Gate, e em Asdode.
23 Joshua’s army took control of all the land, just as Yahweh [long ago] had told Moses to do. Yahweh gave the land to the Israelis, because he had promised to give it to them. Then Joshua divided the land among the Israeli tribes. After that, there was (peace/no more battles) in the land.
Tomou, pois, Josué toda a terra, conforme todo o que o SENHOR havia dito a Moisés; e entregou-a Josué aos israelitas por herança, conforme suas repartições de suas tribos: e a terra repousou de guerra.
