< Josué 11 >

1 Succedeu depois d'isto que, ouvindo-o Jabin, rei d'Hazor, enviou a Jobab, rei de Madon, e ao rei de Simron, e ao rei d'Acsaph;
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].
2 E os reis, que estavam ao norte, nas montanhas, e na campina para o sul de Cinneroth, e nas planicies, e em Naphoth-dor, da banda do mar;
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]
3 Ao cananeo do oriente e do occidente; e ao amorrheo, e ao hetheo, e ao pherezeo, e ao jebuseo nas montanhas: e ao heveo ao pé d'Hermon, na terra de Mispah.
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.
4 Sairam pois estes, e todos os seus exercitos com elles, muito povo, como a areia que está na praia do mar em multidão: e muitissimos cavallos e carros.
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.
5 Todos estes reis se ajuntaram, e vieram e se acamparam junto ás aguas de Merom, para pelejarem contra Israel.
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.
6 E disse o Senhor a Josué: Não temas diante d'elles; porque ámanhã a esta mesma hora eu os darei todos feridos diante dos filhos d'Israel; os seus cavallos jarretarás, e os seus carros queimarás a fogo.
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.”
7 E Josué, e toda a gente de guerra com elle, veiu apressadamente sobre elles ás aguas de Merom: e deram n'elles de repente.
So Joshua and his army traveled to Merom Pond and attacked their enemies (by surprise/before they were ready to fight).
8 E o Senhor os deu na mão d'Israel, e os feriram, e os seguiram até á grande Sidon, e até Misrephoth-main, e até ao valle de Mispah ao oriente; feriram-os até não lhes deixarem nenhum
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).
9 E fez-lhes Josué como o Senhor lhe dissera: os seus cavallos jarretou, e os seus carros queimou a fogo.
Then Joshua and his men did what Yahweh told them to do: They crippled their enemies’ horses and burned their chariots.
10 E n'aquelle mesmo tempo tornou Josué, e tomou a Hazor, e feriu á espada ao seu rei: porquanto Hazor d'antes era a cabeça de todos estes reinos.
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.
11 E a toda a alma, que n'ella havia, feriram ao fio da espada, e totalmente os destruiram; nada restou do que tinha folego, e a Hazor queimou com fogo.
They killed everyone in Hazor; (they did not spare anyone/no one was left alive) [DOU]. Then they burned the city.
12 E Josué tomou todas as cidades d'estes reis, e todos os seus reis, e os feriu ao fio da espada, destruindo-os totalmente: como ordenara a Moysés servo do Senhor.
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.
13 Tão sómente não queimaram os israelitas as cidades que estavam sobre os seus outeiros: salvo sómente Hazor, a qual Josué queimou.
Joshua’s men burned Hazor [city], but they did not burn any of the other cities that were built on small hills.
14 E todos os despojos d'estas cidades, e o gado, os filhos d'Israel saquearam para si: tão sómente a todos os homens feriram ao fio da espada, até que os destruiram: nada do que folego tinha deixaram com vida.
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.
15 Como ordenara o Senhor a Moysés seu servo, assim Moysés ordenou a Josué: e assim Josué o fez; nem uma só palavra tirou de tudo o que o Senhor ordenara a Moysés.
[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.
16 Assim Josué tomou toda aquella terra, as montanhas, e todo o sul, e toda a terra de Gosen, e as planicies, e as campinas, e as montanhas d'Israel; e as suas planicies;
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.
17 Desde o monte calvo, que sobe a Seir, até Baal-gad, no valle do Libano, ás raizes do monte de Hermon: tambem tomou todos os seus reis, e os feriu e os matou.
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.
18 Por muitos dias Josué fez guerra contra todos estes reis.
Joshua’s men fought against those groups for many years.
19 Não houve cidade que fizesse paz com os filhos d'Israel, senão os heveos, moradores de Gibeon: por guerra as tomaram todas.
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.
20 Porquanto do Senhor vinha, que os seus corações endurecessem, para sairem ao encontro a Israel na guerra, para os destruir totalmente, para se não ter piedade d'elles; mas para os destruir a todos, como o Senhor tinha ordenado a Moysés.
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.
21 N'aquelle tempo veiu Josué, e extirpou os enaquins das montanhas d'Hebron, de Debir, d'Anab, e de todas as montanhas de Judah, e de todas as montanhas d'Israel: Josué os destruiu totalmente com as suas cidades.
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.
22 Nenhum dos enaquins ficou de resto na terra dos filhos d'Israel: sómente ficaram de resto em Gaza, em Gath, e em Asdod.
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].
23 Assim Josué tomou toda esta terra, conforme a tudo o que o Senhor tinha dito a Moysés; e Josué a deu em herança aos filhos d'Israel, conforme ás suas divisões, conforme ás suas tribus: e a terra repousou da guerra
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.
