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].
Quando Jabin, rei de Hazor, soube disso, enviou a Jobab rei de Madon, ao rei de Shimron, ao rei de Achshaph,
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 ao norte, no país das colinas, no Arabah ao sul de Chinneroth, na planície, e nas alturas de Dor no oeste,
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.
para o Canaanita no leste e no oeste, o Amorita, o Hittita, o Perizzite, o Jebusita na região montanhosa, e o Hivita sob Hermon na terra de Mizpah.
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.
Eles saíram, eles e todos os seus exércitos com eles, muitas pessoas, mesmo como a areia que está na costa do mar em multidão, com muitos cavalos e carruagens.
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 reuniram; e vieram e acamparam juntos nas águas de Merom, para lutar com 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.”
Yahweh disse a Josué: “Não tenha medo por causa deles; pois amanhã, a esta hora, eu os entregarei todos mortos antes de Israel. Você vai prender os cavalos deles e queimar suas carruagens com fogo”.
7 So Joshua and his army traveled to Merom Pond and attacked their enemies (by surprise/before they were ready to fight).
Então Josué veio de repente, com todos os guerreiros, contra eles pelas águas de Merom, e os atacou.
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).
Yahweh os entregou nas mãos de Israel, e eles os atacaram, e os perseguiram até o grande Sidon, e até Misrephoth Maim, e até o vale de Mizpah para o leste. Eles os atingiram até não deixarem mais ninguém.
9 Then Joshua and his men did what Yahweh told them to do: They crippled their enemies’ horses and burned their chariots.
Josué fez com eles como Yahweh lhe disse. Ele enforcou seus cavalos e queimou suas carruagens com 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.
Josué voltou atrás naquela época, pegou Hazor e golpeou seu rei com a espada; pois Hazor costumava ser a cabeça de todos aqueles reinos.
11 They killed everyone in Hazor; (they did not spare anyone/no one was left alive) [DOU]. Then they burned the city.
Eles atingiram todas as almas que estavam nele com o fio da espada, destruindo-as completamente. Não restava ninguém que respirava. Ele queimou Hazor com 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.
Josué capturou todas as cidades daqueles reis, com seus reis, e os atingiu com o fio da espada, e os destruiu totalmente, como ordenou Moisés, servo de Javé.
13 Joshua’s men burned Hazor [city], but they did not burn any of the other cities that were built on small hills.
Mas quanto às cidades que estavam em seus montes, Israel não queimou nenhuma delas, exceto Hazor apenas. Josué queimou isso.
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.
Os filhos de Israel tomaram todas as pilhagens destas cidades, com o gado, como pilhagem para si mesmos; mas todos os homens que atingiram com o fio da espada, até que os destruíram. Eles não deixaram ninguém que respirasse.
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.
Como Yahweh ordenou a Moisés, seu servo, assim Moisés ordenou a Josué. Josué o fez. Ele não deixou nada por fazer de tudo o que Iavé ordenou 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.
Então Josué capturou toda aquela terra, a região montanhosa, todo o Sul, toda a terra de Gósen, a planície, o Arabah, a região montanhosa de Israel, e a planície do mesmo,
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.
do Monte Halak, que vai até Seir, até Baal Gad, no vale do Líbano sob o Monte Hermon. Ele pegou todos os seus reis, golpeou-os, e os matou.
18 Joshua’s men fought against those groups for many years.
Josué fez guerra por muito tempo com todos esses 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 havia uma cidade que fizesse as pazes com os filhos de Israel, exceto os hivitas, os habitantes de Gibeon. Eles levaram todos em batalha.
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.
Pois era de Javé para endurecer seus corações, para vir contra Israel em batalha, para que ele pudesse destruí-los totalmente, para que eles não tivessem nenhum favor, mas para que ele os destruísse, como Javé ordenou 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.
Josué veio naquela época, e cortou os Anakim da região montanhosa, de Hebron, de Debir, de Anab, e de toda a região montanhosa de Judá, e de toda a região montanhosa de Israel. Josué os destruiu totalmente com 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].
Não restava nenhum dos Anakim na terra dos filhos de Israel. Somente em Gaza, em Gate, e em Ashdod, alguns ficaram.
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.
Então Josué tomou a terra inteira, de acordo com tudo o que Javé falou a Moisés; e Josué a deu em herança a Israel de acordo com suas divisões por suas tribos. Então a terra teve descanso da guerra.
