Josué 5

1 E succedeu que, ouvindo todos os reis dos amorrheos, que habitavam d'esta banda do Jordão, ao occidente, e todos os reis dos cananeos, que estavam ao pé do mar, que o Senhor tinha seccado as aguas do Jordão, de diante dos filhos d'Israel, até que passámos, derreteu-se-lhes o coração, e não houve mais animo n'elles, por causa dos filhos d'Israel.

Now when all the kings of the Amorrhites, who dwelt beyond the Jordan westward, and all the kings of Chanaan, who possessed the places near the great sea, had heard that the Lord had dried up the waters of the Jordan before the children of Israel, till they passed over, their heart failed them, and there remained no spirit in them, fearing the coming in of the children of Israel.

2 N'aquelle tempo disse o Senhor a Josué: Faze facas de pedra, e torna a circumcidar segunda vez aos filhos d'Israel.

At that time the Lord said to Josue: Make thee knives of stone, and circumcise the second time the children of Israel.

3 Então Josué fez para si facas de pedra, e circumcidou aos filhos d'Israel no monte dos prepucios.

He did what the Lord had commanded, and he circumcised the children of Israel in the hill of the foreskins.

4 E foi esta a causa por que Josué os circumcidou: todo o povo que tinha saido do Egypto, os machos, todos os homens de guerra, eram já mortos no deserto, pelo caminho, depois que sairam do Egypto.

Now this is the cause of the second circumcision: All the people that came out of Egypt that were males, all the men fit for war, died in the desert, during the time of the long going about in the way.

5 Porque todo o povo que saira estava circumcidado, mas a nenhum do povo que nascera no deserto, pelo caminho, depois de terem saido do Egypto, haviam circumcidado.

Now these were all circumcised. But the people that were born in the desert,

6 Porque quarenta annos andaram os filhos d'Israel pelo deserto, até se acabar toda a nação, os homens de guerra, que sairam do Egypto, e não obedeceram á voz do Senhor: aos quaes o Senhor tinha jurado que lhes não havia de deixar ver a terra que o Senhor jurara a seus paes dar-nos; terra que mana leite e mel

Luring the forty years of the journey in the wide wilderness, were uncircumcised: till all they were consumed that had not heard the voice of the Lord, and to whom he had sworn before, that he would not shew them the land flowing with milk and honey.

7 Porém em seu logar poz a seus filhos; a estes Josué circumcidou: porquanto estavam incircumcisos, porque os não circumcidaram no caminho.

The children of these succeeded in the place of their fathers, and were circumcised by Josue: for they were uncircumcised even as they were born, and no one had circumcised them in the way.

8 E aconteceu que, acabando de circumcidar a toda a nação, ficaram no seu logar no arraial, até que sararam.

Now after they were all circumcised, they remained in the same place of the camp, until they were healed.

9 Disse mais o Senhor a Josué: Hoje revolvi de sobre vós o opprobrio do Egypto; pelo que o nome d'aquelle logar se chamou Gilgal, até ao dia d'hoje.

And the Lord said to Josue: This day have I taken away from you the reproach of Egypt. And the name of that place was called Galgal, until this present day.

10 Estando pois os filhos d'Israel alojados em Gilgal, celebraram a paschoa no dia quatorze do mez, á tarde, nas campinas de Jericó.

And the children of Israel abode in Galgal, and they kept the phase on the fourteenth day of the month, at evening, in the plains of Jericho:

11 E comeram do trigo da terra do anno antecedente, ao outro dia depois da paschoa, pães asmos e espigas tostadas, no mesmo dia.

And they ate on the next day unleavened bread of the corn of the land, and frumenty of the same year.

12 E cessou o manná no dia seguinte, depois que comeram do trigo da terra do anno antecedente; e os filhos d'Israel não tiveram mais manná: porém no mesmo anno comeram das novidades da terra de Canaan.

And the manna ceased after they ate of the corn of the land, neither did the children of Israel use that food any more, but they ate of the corn of the present year of the land of Chanaan.

13 E succedeu que, estando Josué ao pé de Jericó, levantou os seus olhos, e olhou; e eis-que se poz em pé diante d'elle um homem que tinha na mão uma espada nua: e chegou-se Josué a elle, e disse-lhe: És tu dos nossos, ou dos nossos inimigos?

And when Josue was in the field of the city of Jericho, he lifted up his eyes, and saw a man standing over against him: holding a drawn sword, and he went to him, and said: Art thou one of ours, or of our adversaries?

14 E disse elle: Não, mas venho agora como principe do exercito do Senhor. Então Josué se prostrou sobre o seu rosto na terra, e o adorou, e disse-lhe: Que diz meu senhor ao seu servo?

And he answered: No: but I am prince of the host of the Lord, and now I am come. Josue fell on his face to the ground. And worshipping, add: What saith my lord to his servant?

15 Então disse o principe do exercito do Senhor a Josué: Descalça os sapatos de teus pés, porque o logar em que estás é sancto. E fez Josué assim.

Loose, saith he, thy shoes from off thy feet: for the place whereon thou standest is holy. And Josue did as was commanded him.
