< Joshua 10 >

1 And it cometh to pass, when Adoni-Zedek king of Jerusalem heareth that Joshua hath captured Ai, and doth devote it (as he had done to Jericho and to her king so he hath done to Ai and to her king), and that the inhabitants of Gibeon have made peace with Israel, and are in their midst, —
E succedeu que, ouvindo Adonizedek, rei de Jerusalem, que Josué tomara a Hai, e a tinha destruido totalmente, e fizera a Hai e ao seu rei como tinha feito a Jericó e ao seu rei, e que os moradores de Gibeon fizeram paz com os israelitas, e estavam no meio d'elles,
2 that they are greatly afraid, because Gibeon [is] a great city, as one of the royal cities, and because it [is] greater than Ai, and all its men — heroes.
Temeram muito: porque Gibeon era uma cidade grande como uma das cidades reaes, e ainda maior do que Hai, e todos os seus homens valentes.
3 And Adoni-Zedek king of Jerusalem sendeth unto Hoham king of Hebron, and unto Piram king of Jarmuth, and unto Japhia king of Lachish, and unto Debir king of Eglon, saying,
Pelo que Adonizedek, rei de Jerusalem, enviou a Hoham, rei de Hebron, e a Piram, rei de Jarmuth, e a Jafia, rei de Lachis, e a Debir, rei de Eglon, dizendo:
4 'Come up unto me, and help me, and we smite Gibeon, for it hath made peace with Joshua, and with the sons of Israel.'
Subi a mim, e ajudae-me, e firamos a Gibeon: porquanto fez paz com Josué e com os filhos de Israel.
5 And five kings of the Amorite (the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, the king of Eglon) are gathered together, and go up, they and all their camps, and encamp against Gibeon, and fight against it.
Então se ajuntaram, e subiram cinco reis dos amorrheos, o rei de Jerusalem, o rei de Hebron, o rei de Jarmuth, o rei de Lachis, o rei de Eglon, elles e todos os seus exercitos: e sitiaram a Gibeon e pelejaram contra ella.
6 And the men of Gibeon send unto Joshua, unto the camp at Gilgal, saying, 'Let not thy hand cease from thy servants; come up unto us [with] haste, and give safety to us, and help us; for all the kings of the Amorite, dwelling in the hill-country, have been assembled against us.'
Enviaram pois os homens de Gibeon a Josué ao arraial de Gilgal, dizendo: Não retires as tuas mãos de teus servos; sobe apressadamente a nós, e livra-nos, e ajuda-nos, porquanto todos os reis dos amorrheos, que habitam na montanha, se ajuntaram contra nós
7 And Joshua goeth up from Gilgal, he, and all the people of war with him, even all the mighty men of valour.
Então subiu Josué de Gilgal, elle e toda a gente de guerra com elle, e todos os valentes e valorosos.
8 And Jehovah saith unto Joshua, 'Be not afraid of them, for into thy hand I have given them, there doth not stand a man of them in thy presence.'
E o Senhor disse a Josué: Não os temas, porque os tenho dado na tua mão: nenhum d'elles parará diante de ti.
9 And Joshua cometh in unto them suddenly (all the night he hath gone up from Gilgal),
E Josué lhes sobreveiu de repente, porque toda a noite veiu subindo desde Gilgal.
10 and Jehovah doth crush them before Israel, and it smiteth them — a great smiting — at Gibeon, and pursueth them the way of the ascent of Beth-Horon, and smiteth them unto Azekah, and unto Makkedah.
E o Senhor os conturbou diante de Israel, e os feriu de grande ferida em Gibeon: e seguiu-os pelo caminho que sobe a Bethoron, e os feriu até Azeka e a Makeda.
11 And it cometh to pass, in their fleeing from the face of Israel — they [are] in the descent of Beth-Horon — and Jehovah hath cast upon them great stones out of the heavens, unto Azekah, and they die; more are they who have died by the hailstones than they whom the sons of Israel have slain by the sword.
E succedeu que, fugindo elles diante de Israel, á descida de Bethoron, o Senhor lançou sobre elles, do céu, grandes pedras até Azeka, e morreram: e foram muitos mais os que morreram das pedras da saraiva do que os que os filhos d'Israel mataram á espada.
12 Then speaketh Joshua to Jehovah in the day of Jehovah's giving up the Amorites before the sons of Israel, and he saith, before the eyes of Israel, 'Sun — in Gibeon stand still; and moon — in the valley of Ajalon;'
Então Josué fallou ao Senhor, no dia em que o Senhor deu os amorrheos na mão dos filhos de Israel, e disse aos olhos dos israelitas: Sol, detem-te em Gibeon, e tu, lua, no valle de Ajalon.
13 and the sun standeth still, and the moon hath stood — till the nation taketh vengeance [on] its enemies; is it not written on the Book of the Upright, 'and the sun standeth in the midst of the heavens, and hath not hasted to go in — as a perfect day?'
E o sol se deteve, e a lua parou, até que o povo se vingou de seus inimigos. Isto não está escripto no livro do Recto? O sol pois se deteve no meio do céu, e não se apressou a pôr-se, quasi um dia inteiro.
14 And there hath not been like that day before it or after it, for Jehovah's hearkening to the voice of a man; for Jehovah is fighting for Israel.
E não houve dia similhante a este, nem antes nem depois d'elle, ouvindo o Senhor assim a voz d'um homem: porque o Senhor pelejava por Israel.
15 And Joshua turneth back, and all Israel with him, unto the camp at Gilgal.
E tornou-se Josué, e todo o Israel com elle, ao arraial a Gilgal.
16 And these five kings flee, and are hidden in a cave at Makkedah,
Aquelles cinco reis, porém, fugiram, e se esconderam n'uma cova em Makeda.
17 and it is declared to Joshua, saying, 'The five kings have been found hidden in a cave at Makkedah.'
E foi annunciado a Josué, dizendo: Acharam-se os cinco reis escondidos n'uma cova em Makeda.
18 And Joshua saith, 'Roll great stones unto the mouth of the cave, and appoint over it men to watch them;
Disse pois Josué: Arrojae grandes pedras á bocca da cova, e ponde sobre ella homens que os guardem:
19 and ye, stand not, pursue after your enemies, and ye have smitten the hindmost of them; suffer them not to go in unto their cities, for Jehovah your God hath given them into your hand.'
Porém vos não vos detenhaes; segui os vossos inimigos, e feri os que ficaram atraz: não os deixeis entrar nas suas cidades, porque o Senhor vosso Deus já vol-os deu na vossa mão
20 And it cometh to pass, when Joshua and the sons of Israel finish to smite them — a very great smiting, till they are consumed, and the remnant who have remained of them go in unto the fenced cities,
E succedeu que, acabando Josué e os filhos de Israel de os ferir a grande ferida, até consumil-os, e que os que ficaram d'elles se retiraram ás cidades fortes,
21 that all the people turn back to the camp, unto Joshua, [at] Makkedah, in peace; none moved sharply his tongue against the sons of Israel.
Todo o povo se tornou em paz a Josué, ao arraial em Makeda: não havendo ninguem que movesse a sua lingua contra os filhos de Israel.
22 And Joshua saith, 'Open ye the mouth of the cave, and bring out unto me these five kings from the cave;'
Depois disse Josué: Abri a bocca da cova, e trazei-me aquelles cinco reis para fóra da cova.
23 and they do so, and bring out unto him these five kings from the cave: the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, the king of Eglon.
Fizeram pois assim, e trouxeram-lhe aquelles cinco reis para fóra da cova: o rei de Jerusalem, o rei de Hebron, o rei de Jarmuth, o rei de Lachis, e o rei de Eglon.
24 And it cometh to pass, when they bring out these kings unto Joshua, that Joshua calleth unto every man of Israel, and saith unto the captains of the men of war, who have gone with him, 'Draw near, set your feet on the necks of these kings;' and they draw near, and set their feet on their necks.
E succedeu que, trazendo aquelles reis a Josué, Josué chamou todos os homens de Israel, e disse aos capitães da gente de guerra, que com elle foram: Chegae, ponde os vossos pés sobre os pescoços d'estes reis. E chegaram, e pozeram os seus pés sobre os seus pescoços.
25 And Joshua saith unto them, 'Fear not, nor be affrighted; be strong and courageous; for thus doth Jehovah do to all your enemies with whom ye are fighting;'
Então Josué lhes disse: Não temaes, nem vos espanteis: esforçae-vos e animae-vos; porque assim o fará o Senhor a todos os vossos inimigos, contra os quaes pelejardes.
26 and Joshua smiteth them afterwards, and putteth them to death, and hangeth them on five trees; and they are hanging on the trees till the evening.
E, depois d'isto, Josué os feriu e os matou, e os enforcou em cinco madeiros: e ficaram enforcados nos madeiros até á tarde.
27 And it cometh to pass, at the time of the going in of the sun, Joshua hath commanded, and they take them down from off the trees, and cast them unto the cave where they had been hid, and put great stones on the mouth of the cave till this very day.
E succedeu que, ao tempo do pôr do sol, deu Josué ordem que os tirassem dos madeiros: e lançaram-n'os na cova onde se esconderam: e pozeram grandes pedras á bocca da cova, que ainda ali estão até ao mesmo dia de hoje.
28 And Makkedah hath Joshua captured on that day, and he smiteth it by the mouth of the sword, and its king he hath devoted, them and every person who [is] in it — he hath not left a remnant; and he doth to the king of Makkedah as he did to the king of Jericho.
E n'aquelle mesmo dia tomou Josué a Makeda, e feriu-a a fio de espada, e destruiu o seu rei, a elles, e a toda a alma que n'ella havia; nada deixou de resto: e fez ao rei de Makeda como fizera ao rei de Jericó.
29 And Joshua passeth over, and all Israel with him, from Makkedah [to] Libnah, and fighteth with Libnah;
Então Josué e todo o Israel com elle passou de Makeda a Libna, e pelejou contra Libna;
30 and Jehovah giveth also it into the hand of Israel, and its king, and it smiteth it by the mouth of the sword, and every person who [is] in it — it left not in it a remnant; and it doth to its king as it did to the king of Jericho.
E tambem o Senhor a deu na mão d' Israel, a ella e a seu rei, e a feriu a fio de espada, a ella e a toda a alma que n'ella havia; nada deixou de resto: e fez ao seu rei como fizera ao rei de Jericó.
31 And Joshua passeth over, and all Israel with him, from Libnah to Lachish, and encampeth against it, and fighteth against it;
Então Josué, e todo o Israel com elle, passou de Libna a Lachis: e a sitiou, e pelejou contra ella;
32 And Jehovah giveth Lachish into the hand of Israel, and it captureth it on the second day, and smiteth it by the mouth of the sword, and every person who [is] in it, according to all that it did to Libnah.
E o Senhor deu a Lachis na mão d'Israel, e tomou-a no dia seguinte, e a feriu a fio de espada, a ella, e a toda a alma que n'ella havia, conforme a tudo o que fizera a Libna.
33 Than hath Horam king of Gezer come up to help Lachish, and Joshua smiteth him and his people, till he hath not left to him a remnant.
Então Horan, rei de Gezer, subiu a ajudar a Lachis: porém Josué o feriu, a elle e ao seu povo, até que nenhum lhe deixou de resto.
34 And Joshua passeth over, and all Israel with him, from Lachish to Eglon, and they encamp against it, and fight against it,
E Josué, e todo o Israel com elle, passou de Lachis a Eglon: e a sitiaram, e pelejaram contra ella:
35 and capture it on that day, and smite it by the mouth of the sword, and every person who [is] in it on that day he hath devoted, according to all that he did to Lachish.
E no mesmo dia a tomaram, e a feriram a fio de espada; e a toda a alma, que n'ella havia, destruiu totalmente no mesmo dia: conforme a tudo o que fizera a Lachis.
36 And Joshua goeth up, and all Israel with him, from Eglon to Hebron, and they fight against it,
Depois Josué, e todo o Israel com elle, subiu d'Eglon a Hebron, e pelejaram contra ella;
37 and capture it, and smite it by the mouth of the sword, and its king, and all its cities, and every person who [is] in it — he hath not left a remnant — according to all that he did to Eglon — and doth devote it, and every person who [is] in it.
E a tomaram, e a feriram ao fio de espada, assim ao seu rei como a todas as suas cidades; e a toda a alma, que n'ellas havia, a ninguem deixou com vida, conforme a tudo o que fizera a Eglon: e a destruiu totalmente, a ella e a toda a alma que n'ella havia.
38 And Joshua turneth back, and all Israel with him, to Debir, and fighteth against it,
Então Josué, e todo o Israel com elle, tornou a Debir, e pelejou contra ella;
39 and captureth it, and its king, and all its cities, and they smite them by the mouth of the sword, and devote every person who [is] in it — he hath not left a remnant; as he did to Hebron so he did to Debir, and to its king, and as he did to Libnah, and to its king.
E tomou-a com o seu rei, e a todas as suas cidades, e as feriram a fio de espada, e a toda a alma que n'ellas havia destruiram totalmente, nada deixou de resto: como fizera a Hebron, assim fez a Debir e ao seu rei, e como fizera a Libna e ao seu rei.
40 And Joshua smiteth all the land of the hill-country, and of the south, and of the low-country, and of the springs, and all their kings — he hath not left a remnant, and all that doth breathe he hath devoted, as Jehovah, God of Israel, commanded.
Assim feriu Josué toda aquella terra, as montanhas, o sul, e as campinas, e as descidas das aguas, e a todos os seus reis; nada deixou de resto: mas tudo o que tinha folego destruiu, como ordenara o Senhor Deus d'Israel.
41 And Joshua smiteth them from Kadesh-Barnea, even unto Gaza, and all the land of Goshen, even unto Gibeon;
E Josué os feriu desde Cades-barnea, e até Gaza: como tambem toda a terra de Gosen, e até Gibeon.
42 and all these kings and their land hath Joshua captured [at] one time, for Jehovah, God of Israel, is fighting for Israel.
E d'uma vez tomou Josué todos estes reis, e as suas terras: porquanto o Senhor Deus d'Israel pelejava por Israel.
43 and Joshua turneth back, and all Israel with him, unto the camp at Gilgal.
Então Josué, e todo o Israel com elle, se tornou ao arraial em Gilgal.
