< Josué 6 >

1 Ora Jericó cerrou-se, e estava cerrada por causa dos filhos d'Israel: nenhum sahia nem entrava.
Now, Jericho, was shut up and barred because of the sons of Israel, —none came out and none went in.
2 Então disse o Senhor a Josué: Olha, tenho dado na tua mão a Jericó e ao seu rei, os seus valentes e valorosos.
Then said Yahweh unto Joshua, See, I have delivered, into thy hand, Jericho and her king, —the mighty men of valour.
3 Vós pois, todos os homens de guerra, rodeareis a cidade, cercando a cidade uma vez: assim fareis por seis dias.
So then ye shall compass the city all ye men of war, going round the city, once, —thus, shall thou do six days.
4 E sete sacerdotes levarão sete buzinas de carneiros diante da arca, e no setimo dia rodeareis a cidade sete vezes: e os sacerdotes tocarão as buzinas.
And, seven priests, shall bear the seven rams’ horns before the ark, and, on the seventh day, shall ye compass the city seven times, —and, the priests, shall blow with the horns.
5 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 n'elle, cada qual em frente de si.
And it shall come to pass, when the ram’s horn soundeth, when ye hear the sound of the horn, that all the people shall shout with a great shout, —and then shall the wall of the city fall down under it, and the people shall go up, every man straight before him.
6 Então chamou Josué, filho de Nun, aos sacerdotes, e disse-lhes: Levae a arca do concerto; e sete sacerdotes levem sete buzinas de carneiros, diante da arca do Senhor.
Then called Joshua son of Nun unto the priests, and said unto them, Bear ye the ark of the covenant, —and let, seven priest, bear seven rams horns, before the ark of Yahweh.
7 E disse ao povo: Passae e rodeae a cidade; e quem estiver armado, passe diante da arca do Senhor.
Then said he unto the people, Pass on and compass the city, —and let, the armed host, pass on before the ark of Yahweh.
8 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.
And it was so, when Joshua had spoken unto the people, that, the seven priests who were bearing the seven rams’ horns before Yahweh, passed on and blew with the horns, —the ark of the covenant of Yahweh also coming after them.
9 E os armados iam adiante dos sacerdotes, que tocavam as buzinas: e a rectaguarda seguia após da arca, andando e tocando as buzinas.
And, the armed host, went on before the priests who blew with the horns, —and, the rear-guard, came after the ark, going on and blowing with the horns.
10 Porém ao povo Josué tinha dado ordem, dizendo: Não gritareis, nem fareis ouvir a vossa voz, nem sairá palavra alguma da vossa bocca, até ao dia que eu vos diga: Gritae. Então gritareis.
Now, unto the people, had Joshua given command, saying—Ye shall not shout nor let your voice be heard, neither shall there go out of your mouth, a word, —until the day when I say unto you Shout! then shall ye shout.
11 E fez a arca do Senhor rodeiar a cidade, rodeiando-a uma vez: e vieram ao arraial, e passaram a noite no arraial.
So he caused the ark of Yahweh to compass the city, going round once, —and they came into the camp, and lodged in the camp.
12 Depois Josué se levantou de madrugada, e os sacerdotes levaram a arca do Senhor.
And Joshua rose early in the morning, —and the priests bare the ark of Yahweh;
13 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 d'elles, e a rectaguarda seguia atraz da arca do Senhor; os sacerdotes iam andando e tocando as buzinas.
and, the seven priests who bare the seven rams’ horns before the ark of Yahweh, went on and on, and blew with the horns, —with, the armed host going on before them, and, the rear-guard, coming after the ark of Yahweh, going on and blowing with the horns.
14 Assim rodeiaram outra vez a cidade no segundo dia e tornaram para o arraial: e assim fizeram seis dias.
So they compassed the city on the second day once, and returned into the camp, —thus, did they, six days.
15 E succedeu que ao setimo dia madrugaram ao subir da alva, e da mesma maneira rodeiaram a cidade sete vezes: n'aquelle dia sómente rodeiaram a cidade sete vezes.
And it came to pass, on the seventh day, that they rose early at the uprisings of the dawn, and compassed the city after this manner, seven times, —only on that day they compassed the city seven times.
16 E succedeu que, tocando os sacerdotes a setima vez as buzinas, disse Josué ao povo: Gritae; porque o Senhor vos tem dado a cidade.
And it came to pass, at the seventh time—when the priests blew with the horns, then did Joshua say unto the people—Shout, for Yahweh hath delivered unto you the city.
17 Porém a cidade será anathema ao Senhor, ella e tudo quanto houver n'ella: sómente a prostituta Rahab viverá, ella e todos os que com ella estiverem em casa; porquanto escondeu os mensageiros que enviámos.
And it shall be, that, as for the city, devoted, shall it be and all that is therein unto Yahweh, —nevertheless, Rahab the harlot, shall live, she and all who are with her in the house, because she hid the messengers whom we sent.
18 Tão sómente guardae-vos do anathema, para que não vos mettaes em anathema tomando d'ella, e assim façaes maldito o arraial de Israel, e o turbeis.
But, in any wise, do, ye, beware of what is devoted, lest ye should covet, and then take of what is devoted, —and so cause the camp of Israel to be devoted, and bring trouble upon it.
19 Porém toda a prata, e o oiro, e os vasos de metal, e de ferro, são consagrados ao Senhor: irão ao thesouro do Senhor.
But, as for all silver and gold and vessels of bronze and iron, hallowed, it is to Yahweh, —unto the treasury of Yahweh, shall it come.
20 Gritou pois o povo, tocando os sacerdotes as buzinas: e succedeu que, ouvindo o povo o sonido da buzina, gritou o povo com grande grita; e o muro caiu abaixo, e o povo subiu á cidade, cada qual em frente de si, e tomaram a cidade.
So the people shouted, when the horns were blown, —yea it came to pass, when the people heard the sound of the horn, that the people shouted with a great shout, and the wall fell down under it, and the people went up into the city every man straight before him, and so they captured the city.
21 E, tudo quanto na cidade havia, destruiram totalmente ao fio da espada, desde o homem até á mulher, desde o menino até ao velho, e até ao boi e gado miudo, e ao jumento.
And they devoted all that were in the city, both man and woman, both young and old, —and ox and sheep and ass, with the edge of the sword.
22 Josué, porém, disse aos dois homens que tinham espiado a terra: Entrae na casa da mulher prostituta, e tirae de lá a mulher com tudo quanto tiver, como lhe tendes jurado.
But, unto the two men who spied out the land, Joshua said, Go into the house of the woman, the harlot, —and bring out thence the woman and all that she hath, as ye aware unto her.
23 Então entraram os mancebos espias, e tiraram a Rahab, e a seu pae, e a sua mãe, e a seus irmãos, e a tudo quanto tinha; tiraram tambem a todas as suas familias, e pozeram-n'os fóra do arraial d'Israel.
So the young men the spies went in and brought out Rahab and her father and her mother and her brethren and all that she had, yea, all her kindred, brought they out, —and set them outside the camp of Israel.
24 Porém a cidade e tudo quanto havia n'ella queimaram-n'o a fogo: tão sómente a prata, e o oiro, e os vasos de metal e de ferro, deram para o thesouro da casa do Senhor.
But, the city, burned they with fire, and all that was therein, —save only, the silver and the gold and the vessels of bronze and of iron, put they into the treasury of the house of Yahweh.
25 Assim deu Josué vida á prostituta Rahab, e á familia de seu pae, 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.
And, Rahab the harlot and the household of her father and all that she had, did Joshua save alive, so she hath dwelt in the midst of Israel until this day, —because she hid the messengers whom Joshua sent to spy out Jericho.
26 E n'aquelle tempo Josué os esconjurou, dizendo: Maldito diante do Senhor seja o homem que se levantar e reedificar esta cidade de Jericó: no seu primogenito a fundará, e no seu filho mais novo lhe porá as portas.
And Joshua imposed an oath at that time, saying, —Cursed be the man before Yahweh who shall raise up and build this city—Jericho, At the price of his firstborn, shall he lay its foundation, and, at the price of his youngest, shall he set up its doors.
27 Assim era o Senhor com Josué: e corria a sua fama por toda a terra.
And so it was that Yahweh was with Joshua, —and his fame was in all the land.
