Joshua 6
1 Meanwhile, the guards of Jericho shut the gates of the city tightly, because [they were afraid] of the Israeli [army]. No one was allowed to go into the city or go out of it.
Ora Jericó cerrou-se, e estava cerrada por causa dos filhos de Israel: nenhum saía nem entrava.
2 Then Yahweh said to Joshua, “Listen [to what I say]! I am going to enable your army [SYN] to capture/conquer [MTY] Jericho and its king and its soldiers.
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 your army must march around the city for six days, once each day.
Vós pois, todos os homens de guerra, rodeareis a cidade, cercando a cidade uma vez: assim fareis por seis dias.
4 Tell seven priests to march around with them. Each priest must carry a trumpet. Four other priests must carry the sacred chest, and they must walk behind the priests who are carrying the trumpets. On the seventh day, the army must march around the city seven times, and the priests must be blowing the trumpets while they march.
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 [After they have all marched around the city seven times], the priests must blow their trumpets [once], very loudly. When the Israeli people/soldiers hear that, they must shout loudly. Then the wall of the city will collapse, and all the Israeli people/soldiers will go straight into the city.”
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 So Joshua summoned the priests and said to them, “Tell four priests to carry the chest [that contains] the Ten Commandments that Yahweh [gave to us]. [Tell] seven [other] priests to carry trumpets and walk in front of them.”
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 And Joshua told the soldiers, “Start marching! March around the city, with several soldiers with weapons marching in front. Behind them will march the seven priests with trumpets, and behind them will march the four priests carrying Yahweh’s [sacred] chest.”
E disse ao povo: passai e rodeai a cidade; e quem estiver armado, passe diante da arca do Senhor.
8 After Joshua told that to the army, the seven priests, each carrying a sacred trumpet, started marching, blowing their trumpets. The four priests who were carrying Yahweh’s sacred chest followed 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 The group of soldiers carrying weapons marched in front of the priests who were blowing their trumpets, and the rest of the soldiers followed [the four men carrying] the chest. While [they were all marching], [the seven priests] were blowing their trumpets.
E os armados iam adiante dos sacerdotes, que tocavam as buzinas: e a retaguarda seguia após da arca, andando e tocando as buzinas.
10 But [the rest of] the people [were silent, because] Joshua had commanded them, “Do not make a war cry. Do not yell or say anything until the day when I tell you to shout. On that day, you must shout [loudly]!”
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 the men carrying Yahweh’s sacred chest and all the others did what Joshua told them to do. They marched around the city once. Then they all returned to their camp and stayed there that night.
E fez a arca do Senhor rodeiar a cidade, rodeiando-a uma vez: e vieram ao arraial, e passaram a noite no arraial.
12 The next morning, Joshua and the priests got up early, and the four priests carried Yahweh’s sacred chest [again].
Depois Josué se levantou de madrugada, e os sacerdotes levaram a arca do Senhor.
13 The seven priests who were carrying trumpets went in front of [the men carrying] the chest. The seven priests were blowing their trumpets as they marched. The group of soldiers carrying weapons went in front of all the others, and the rest of the army followed all the others. All the time, the seven priests were blowing their trumpets.
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 on that second day they again marched around the city once and then returned to their camp. They did the same thing for six days.
Assim rodearam outra vez a cidade no segundo dia e tornaram para o arraial: e assim fizeram seis dias.
15 On the seventh day, they got up at dawn, and they all marched around the city the same way that they had done before, but this time they marched around 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 As they were marching around the seventh time, when the priests were about to blow the long/loud blast on their trumpets, Joshua commanded the people, “Shout, because Yahweh will enable you to capture 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 Yahweh has declared that you must destroy [IDM] the city and everything in it [to show that it belongs to him]. You must spare only Rahab the prostitute and the others who are in her house, because she hid the spies whom we sent there.
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 And because Yahweh has declared that everything must be destroyed [IDM], you must not take [EUP] any of the things in the city. If you take anything, you will cause Yahweh to destroy our own camp and cause terrible things to happen to us.
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 all the silver and gold and articles made from iron and bronze that you find, you must set apart for Yahweh. You must put those things in his treasury.”
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 they did what Joshua told them to do. When the priests blew a long blast on their trumpets, the people/army shouted loudly, and the wall of the city collapsed! Then the Israeli soldiers rushed in and 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 They killed [IDM] every living thing in the city—men and women, young people and old people, even cattle and sheep and donkeys.
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 Then Joshua said to the two men (who had spied on/whom he had sent to learn all they could about) the land, “Go to the prostitute’s house. Bring her out, along with all her family, just as you promised to 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 those two spies/men went into Rahab’s house and brought her out. They also brought out her father and mother and her brothers, and all the rest of her family. Joshua’s men spared Rahab the prostitute. They also did not kill all her relatives, because she had hidden and protected the spies/men whom Joshua had sent to Jericho. The two men brought them all out and put them in a place outside the camp of the Israelis. Rahab still lives among us Israeli people. Then the soldiers gathered the articles made from silver, gold, bronze, and iron that they found and they put them all into Yahweh’s treasury. But they burned everything else that was in the city.
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.
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.
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 At that time, Joshua warned the people, “Yahweh will curse/punish anyone who tries to rebuild this city, Jericho. When that person lays/builds its foundation, his oldest son will die. And when he finishes building the city wall and sets up its gates, his youngest son will die.”
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 Because of what happened that day, it was clear that Yahweh was with/helped Joshua, and Joshua became famous throughout the land.
Assim era o Senhor com Josué: e corria a sua fama por toda a terra.
