< Josué 6 >

1 Ora Jericó cerrou-se, e estava cerrada por causa dos filhos d'Israel: nenhum sahia nem entrava.
Now Jericho was tightly shut up because of the children of Israel. No one went out, and no one came 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.
Yahweh said to Joshua, “Behold, I have given Jericho into your hand, with its king and the mighty men of valor.
3 Vós pois, todos os homens de guerra, rodeareis a cidade, cercando a cidade uma vez: assim fareis por seis dias.
All of your men of war shall march around the city, going around the city once. You shall do this 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.
Seven priests shall bear seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the ark. On the seventh day, you shall march around the city seven times, and the priests shall blow the trumpets.
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.
It shall be that when they make a long blast with the ram’s horn, and when you hear the sound of the trumpet, all the people shall shout with a great shout; then the city wall will fall down flat, and the people shall go up, every man straight in front of 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.
Joshua the son of Nun called the priests, and said to them, “Take up the ark of the covenant, and let seven priests bear seven trumpets of rams’ horns before Yahweh’s ark.”
7 E disse ao povo: Passae e rodeae a cidade; e quem estiver armado, passe diante da arca do Senhor.
They said to the people, “Advance! March around the city, and let the armed men pass on before Yahweh’s ark.”
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.
It was so, that when Joshua had spoken to the people, the seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams’ horns before Yahweh advanced and blew the trumpets, and the ark of Yahweh’s covenant followed 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.
The armed men went before the priests who blew the trumpets, and the ark went after them. The trumpets sounded as they went.
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.
Joshua commanded the people, saying, “You shall not shout nor let your voice be heard, neither shall any word proceed out of your mouth until the day I tell you to shout. Then you shall 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 Yahweh’s ark to go around the city, circling it once. Then they came into the camp, and stayed in the camp.
12 Depois Josué se levantou de madrugada, e os sacerdotes levaram a arca do Senhor.
Joshua rose early in the morning, and the priests took up Yahweh’s ark.
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.
The seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams’ horns in front of Yahweh’s ark went on continually, and blew the trumpets. The armed men went in front of them. The rear guard came after Yahweh’s ark. The trumpets sounded as they went.
14 Assim rodeiaram outra vez a cidade no segundo dia e tornaram para o arraial: e assim fizeram seis dias.
The second day they marched around the city once, and returned into the camp. They did this 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.
On the seventh day, they rose early at the dawning of the day, and marched around the city in the same way seven times. On this day only they marched around 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.
At the seventh time, when the priests blew the trumpets, Joshua said to the people, “Shout, for Yahweh has given 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.
The city shall be devoted, even it and all that is in it, to Yahweh. Only Rahab the prostitute shall live, she and all who are with her in the house, because she hid the messengers that 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 as for you, only keep yourselves from what is devoted to destruction, lest when you have devoted it, you take of the devoted thing; so you would make the camp of Israel accursed and trouble 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 all the silver, gold, and vessels of bronze and iron are holy to Yahweh. They shall come into Yahweh’s treasury.”
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 and the priests blew the trumpets. When the people heard the sound of the trumpet, the people shouted with a great shout, and the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man straight in front of him, and they took 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.
They utterly destroyed all that was in the city, both man and woman, both young and old, and ox, sheep, and donkey, 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.
Joshua said to the two men who had spied out the land, “Go into the prostitute’s house, and bring the woman and all that she has out from there, as you swore to 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.
The young men who were spies went in, and brought out Rahab with her father, her mother, her brothers, and all that she had. They also brought out all of her relatives, and they set them outside of 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.
They burned the city with fire, and all that was in it. Only they put the silver, the gold, and the vessels of bronze and of iron into the treasury of Yahweh’s house.
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.
But Rahab the prostitute, her father’s household, and all that she had, Joshua saved alive. She lives in the middle of Israel to 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.
Joshua commanded them with an oath at that time, saying, “Cursed is the man before Yahweh who rises up and builds this city Jericho. With the loss of his firstborn he will lay its foundation, and with the loss of his youngest son he will set up its gates.”
27 Assim era o Senhor com Josué: e corria a sua fama por toda a terra.
So Yahweh was with Joshua; and his fame was in all the land.
