< Josué 10 >

1 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,
When Adonisedec king of Jerusalem had heard these things, to wit, that Josue had taken Hai, and had destroyed it, (for as he had done to Jericho and the king thereof, so did he to Hai, and its king, ) and that the Gabaonites were gone over to Israel, and were their confederates,
2 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.
He was exceedingly afraid. For Gabaon was a great city, and one of the royal cities, and greater than the town of Hai, and all its fighting men were most valiant.
3 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:
Therefore Adonisedec king of Jerusalem sent to Oham king of Hebron, and to Pharam king of Jerimoth, and to Japhia king of Lachis, and to Dabir king of Eglon, saying:
4 Subi a mim, e ajudae-me, e firamos a Gibeon: porquanto fez paz com Josué e com os filhos de Israel.
Come up to me, and bring help, that we may take Gabaon, because it hath gone over to Josue, and to the children of Israel.
5 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.
So the five kings of the Amorrhites being assembled together went up: the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jerimoth, the king of Lachis, the king of Eglon, they and their armies, and camped about Gabaon, laying siege to it.
6 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
But the inhabitants of the city of Gabaon which was besieged, sent to Josue, who then abode in the camp at Galgal, and said to him: Withdraw not thy hands from helping thy servants: come up quickly and save us, and bring us succour: for all the kings of the Amorrhites, who dwell in the mountains, are gathered together against us.
7 Então subiu Josué de Gilgal, elle e toda a gente de guerra com elle, e todos os valentes e valorosos.
And Josue went up from Galgal, and all the army of the warriors with him, most valiant men.
8 E o Senhor disse a Josué: Não os temas, porque os tenho dado na tua mão: nenhum d'elles parará diante de ti.
And the Lord said to Josue: Fear them not: for I have delivered them into thy hands: none of them shall be able to stand against thee.
9 E Josué lhes sobreveiu de repente, porque toda a noite veiu subindo desde Gilgal.
So Josue going up from Galgal all the night, came upon them suddenly.
10 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.
And the Lord troubled them at the sight of Israel: and he slew them with a great slaughter in Gabaon, and pursued them by the way of the ascent to Beth-horon, and cut them off all the way to Azeca and Maceda.
11 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.
And when they were fleeing from the children of Israel, and were in the descent of Beth-horon, the Lord cast down upon them great stones from heaven as far as Azeca: and many more were killed with the hailstones than were slain by the swords of the children of Israel.
12 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.
Then Josue spoke to the Lord, in the day that he delivered the Amorrhite in the sight of the children of Israel, and he said before them: Move not, O sun, toward Gabaon, nor thou, O moon, toward the valley of Ajalon.
13 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.
And the sun and the moon stood still, till the people revenged themselves of their enemies. Is not this written in the book of the just? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down the space of one day.
14 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.
There was not before nor after so long a day, the Lord obeying the voice of a man, and fighting for Israel.
15 E tornou-se Josué, e todo o Israel com elle, ao arraial a Gilgal.
And Josue returned with all Israel into the camp of Galgal.
16 Aquelles cinco reis, porém, fugiram, e se esconderam n'uma cova em Makeda.
For the five kings were fled, and had hidden themselves in a cave of the city of Maceda.
17 E foi annunciado a Josué, dizendo: Acharam-se os cinco reis escondidos n'uma cova em Makeda.
And it was told Josue that the five kings were found hidden in a cave of the city of Maceda.
18 Disse pois Josué: Arrojae grandes pedras á bocca da cova, e ponde sobre ella homens que os guardem:
And he commanded them that were with him, saying: Roll great stones to the mouth of the cave, and set careful men, to keep them shut up:
19 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
And stay you not, but pursue after the enemies, and kill all the hindermost of them as they flee, and do not suffer them whom the Lord God hath delivered into your hands to shelter themselves in their cities.
20 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,
So the enemies being slain with a great slaughter, and almost utterly consumed, they that were able to escape from Israel, entered into fenced cities.
21 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.
And all the army returned to Josue in Maceda, where the camp then was, in good health and without the loss of any one: and no man durst move his tongue against the children of Israel.
22 Depois disse Josué: Abri a bocca da cova, e trazei-me aquelles cinco reis para fóra da cova.
And Josue gave orders, saying: Open the mouth of the cave, and bring forth to me the five kings that lie hid therein.
23 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.
And the ministers did as they were commanded: and they brought out to him the five kings out of the cave: the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jerimoth, the king of Lachis, the king of Eglon.
24 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.
And when they were Drought out to him, he called all the men of Israel, and said to the chiefs of the army that were with him: Go, and set your feet on the necks of these kings. And when they had gone, and put their feet upon the necks of them lying under them,
25 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.
He said again to them: Fear not, neither be ye dismayed, take courage and be strong: for so will the Lord do to all your enemies, against whom you fight.
26 E, depois d'isto, Josué os feriu e os matou, e os enforcou em cinco madeiros: e ficaram enforcados nos madeiros até á tarde.
And Josue struck, and slew them, and hanged them upon five gibbets, and they hung until the evening.
27 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.
And when the sun was down, he commanded the soldiers to take them down from the gibbets. And after they were taken down, they cast them into the cave where they had lain hid, and put great stones at the mouth thereof, which remain until this day.
28 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.
The same day Josue took Maceda and destroyed it, with the edge of the sword, and killed the king and all the inhabitants thereof: he left not in it the least remains. And he did to the king of Maceda, as he had done to the king of Jericho.
29 Então Josué e todo o Israel com elle passou de Makeda a Libna, e pelejou contra Libna;
And he passed from Maceda with all Israel to Lebna, and fought against it:
30 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.
And the Lord delivered it with the king thereof into the hands of Israel: and they destroyed the city with the edge of the sword, and all the inhabitants thereof. They left not in it any remains. And they did to the king of Lebna, as they had done to the king of Jericho.
31 Então Josué, e todo o Israel com elle, passou de Libna a Lachis: e a sitiou, e pelejou contra ella;
From Lebna he passed unto Lachis, with all Israel: and investing it with his army, besieged it.
32 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.
And the Lord delivered Lachis into the hands of Israel, and he took it the following day, and put it to the sword, and every soul that was in it, as he had done to Lebna.
33 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.
At that time Horam king of Gazer, came up to succour Lachis: and Josue slew him with all his people, so as to leave none alive.
34 E Josué, e todo o Israel com elle, passou de Lachis a Eglon: e a sitiaram, e pelejaram contra ella:
And he passed from Lachis to Eglon, and surrounded it,
35 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.
And took it the same day: and put to the sword all the souls that were in it, according to all that he had done to Lachis.
36 Depois Josué, e todo o Israel com elle, subiu d'Eglon a Hebron, e pelejaram contra ella;
He went up also with all Israel from Eglon to Hebron, and fought against it:
37 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.
Took it, and destroyed it with the edge of the sword: the king also thereof, and all the towns of that country, and all the souls that dwelt in it: he left not therein any remains: as he had done to Eglon, so did he also to Hebron, putting to the sword all that he found in it.
38 Então Josué, e todo o Israel com elle, tornou a Debir, e pelejou contra ella;
Returning from thence to Dabir,
39 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.
He took it and destroyed it: the king also thereof and all the towns round about he destroyed with the edge of the sword: he left not in it any remains: as he had done to Hebron and Lebna and to their kings, so did he to Dabir and to the king thereof.
40 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.
So Josue conquered all the country of the hills and of the south and of the plain, and of Asedoth, with their kings: he left not any remains therein, but slew all that breathed, as the Lord the God of Israel had commanded him,
41 E Josué os feriu desde Cades-barnea, e até Gaza: como tambem toda a terra de Gosen, e até Gibeon.
From Cadesbarne even to Gaza. All the land of Gosen even to Gabaon,
42 E d'uma vez tomou Josué todos estes reis, e as suas terras: porquanto o Senhor Deus d'Israel pelejava por Israel.
And all their kings, and their lands he took and wasted at one onset: for the Lord the God of Israel fought for him.
43 Então Josué, e todo o Israel com elle, se tornou ao arraial em Gilgal.
And he returned with all Israel to the place of the camp in Galgal.
