Josué 7
1 E trespassaram os filhos de Israel no anathema: porque Acan, filho de Carmi, filho de Zabdi, filho de Sera, da tribu de Judah, tomou do anathema, e a ira do Senhor se accendeu contra os filhos d'Israel.
But the sons of Israel transgressed the commandment, and they usurped what was anathema. For Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, from the tribe of Judah, took something from what was anathema. And the Lord became angry against the sons of Israel.
2 Enviando pois Josué de Jericó, alguns homens a Hai, que está junto a Bethaven, da banda do oriente de Beth-el, fallou-lhes, dizendo: Subi, e espiae a terra. Subiram pois aquelles homens, e espiaram a Hai.
And when Joshua sent men from Jericho against Ai, which is beside Bethaven, toward the eastern region of the town of Bethel, he said to them, “Go up and explore the land.” And they fulfilled his instruction, and they explored Ai.
3 E voltaram a Josué, e disseram-lhe: Não suba todo o povo; subam alguns dois mil, ou tres mil homens, a ferir a Hai: não fatigues ali a todo o povo, porque poucos são.
And returning, they said to him: “Let not the entire people go up. Instead, let two or three thousand men go out and destroy the city. Why should all the people be troubled without cause against enemies that are so very few?”
4 Assim, subiram lá do povo alguns tres mil homens, os quaes fugiram diante dos homens de Dai.
Therefore, they went up with three thousand fighters. And they promptly turned their backs,
5 E os homens de Hai feriram d'elles alguns trinta e seis, e seguiram-n'os desde a porta até Shebarim, e feriram-n'os na descida; e o coração do povo se derreteu e se tornou como agua.
and were struck down by the men of the city of Ai. And thirty-six men of them fell. And the adversaries pursued them from the gate, even as far as Shebarim. And they felled them as they were fleeing downward. And the heart of the people was struck with fear, and it melted like water.
6 Então Josué rasgou os seus vestidos, e se prostrou em terra sobre o seu rosto perante a arca do Senhor até á tarde, elle e os anciãos de Israel: e deitaram pó sobre as suas cabeças.
And truly, Joshua tore his garments, and he fell prone on the ground before the ark of the Lord, even until evening, both he and all the elders of Israel. And they cast dust upon their heads.
7 E disse Josué: Ah Senhor Jehovah! porque, com effeito, fizeste passar a este povo o Jordão, para nos dares nas mãos dos amorrheos, para nos fazerem perecer? oxalá nos contentaramos com ficarmos d'além do Jordão.
And Joshua said: “Alas, O Lord God! Why would you want to lead this people over the river Jordan, so that you might deliver us into the hand of the Amorite and destroy us? I wish that we had remained beyond the Jordan, as when we began.
8 Ah Senhor! que direi? pois Israel virou as costas diante dos seus inimigos!
My Lord God, what shall I say, seeing Israel turning their backs to their enemies?
9 Ouvindo isto, os cananeos, e todos os moradores da terra, nos cercarão e desarreigarão o nosso nome da terra: e então que farás ao teu grande nome?
The Canaanites and all the inhabitants of the land will hear of it, and coming together as one, they will surround us, and they will wipe our name from the earth. And what will you do concerning your great name?”
10 Então disse o Senhor a Josué: Levanta-te: porque estás prostrado assim sobre o teu rosto?
And the Lord said to Joshua: “Rise up. Why are you lying flat on the ground?
11 Israel peccou, e até transgrediram o meu concerto que lhes tinha ordenado, e até tomaram do anathema, e tambem furtaram, e tambem mentiram, e até debaixo da sua bagagem o pozeram.
Israel has sinned and transgressed my covenant. And they have taken from what is anathema. And they have stolen and lied, and they have hidden it among their goods.
12 Pelo que os filhos de Israel não poderam subsistir perante os seus inimigos: viraram as costas diante dos seus inimigos; porquanto estão amaldiçoados: não serei mais comvosco, se não desarreigardes o anathema do meio de vós.
Israel is not able to stand before his enemies, and he will flee from them. For he has been defiled by what is anathema. I will no longer be with you, until you destroy him who is guilty of this wickedness.
13 Levanta-te, sanctifica o povo, e dize: Sanctificae-vos para ámanhã, porque assim diz o Senhor, o Deus d'Israel: Anathema ha no meio de ti, Israel: diante dos teus inimigos não poderás suster-te, até que não tires o anathema do meio de vós.
Rise up. Sanctify the people. And you shall say to them: ‘Be sanctified tomorrow. For thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: That which is anathema is in your midst, O Israel! You are not able to stand before your enemies, until he who has been contaminated by this wickedness is taken away from you.’
14 Ámanhã pois vos chegareis, segundo as vossas tribus: e será que a tribu que o Senhor tomar se chegará, segundo as familias; e a familia que o Senhor tomar se chegará por casas; e a casa que o Senhor tomar se chegará homem por homem
And you shall draw near in the morning, each one by your tribes. And whichever tribe will be found by lot shall come forward by its families, and the families by houses, and the house by the men.
15 E será que aquelle que fôr tomado com o anathema será queimado a fogo, elle e tudo quanto tiver: porquanto transgrediu o concerto do Senhor, e fez uma loucura em Israel.
And whoever he may be that will be found guilty of this deed, he shall be burnt with fire with all his substance. For he transgressed the covenant of the Lord, and he committed a wicked act in Israel.”
16 Então Josué se levantou de madrugada, e fez chegar a Israel, segundo as suas tribus: e a tribu de Judah foi tomada:
And so Joshua, rising in the morning, brought forth Israel by their tribes, and the tribe of Judah was found.
17 E, fazendo chegar a tribu de Judah, tomou a familia de Zarchi: e, fazendo chegar a familia de Zarchi, homem por homem, foi tomado Zabdi:
And when its families had been presented, the family of Zerah was found. Likewise, bringing that one forward by the houses, he discovered Zabdi.
18 E, fazendo chegar a sua casa, homem por homem, foi tomado Acan, filho de Carmi, filho de Zabdi, filho de Serah, da tribu de Judah.
And dividing his house by each man, he found Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, from the tribe of Judah.
19 Então disse Josué a Acan: Filho meu, dá, peço-te, gloria ao Senhor Deus de Israel, e faze confissão perante elle; e declara-me agora o que fizeste, não m'o occultes.
And Joshua said to Achan: “My son, give glory to the Lord, the God of Israel, and confess, and reveal to me what you have done. You may not conceal it.”
20 E respondeu Acan a Josué, e disse: Verdadeiramente pequei contra o Senhor Deus de Israel, e fiz assim e assim.
And Achan responded to Joshua, and he said to him: “Truly, I have sinned against the Lord, the God of Israel, and I have done one thing and another.
21 Quando vi entre os despojos uma boa capa babylonica, e duzentos siclos de prata, e uma cunha d'oiro do peso de cincoenta siclos, cobicei-os e tomei-os: e eis que estão escondidos na terra, no meio da minha tenda, e a prata debaixo d'ella.
For I saw among the spoils a very fine scarlet cloak, and two hundred shekels of silver, and a gold bar of fifty shekels. And coveting these, I took and hid them in the ground near the middle of my tent, and I covered the silver with the soil that I had dug.”
22 Então Josué enviou mensageiros, que foram correndo á tenda: e eis que estava escondido na sua tenda, e a prata debaixo d'ella.
Therefore, Joshua sent ministers, who, running to his tent, discovered everything hidden in the same place, together with the silver.
23 Tomaram pois aquellas coisas do meio da tenda, e as trouxeram a Josué e a todos os filhos de Israel: e as deitaram perante o Senhor.
And taking these from the tent, they brought them to Joshua, and to all the sons of Israel, and they cast them down before the Lord.
24 Então Josué e todo o Israel com elle tomaram a Acan, filho de Serah, e a prata, e a capa, e a cunha de oiro, e a seus filhos, e a suas filhas, e a seus bois, e a seus jumentos, e a suas ovelhas, e a sua tenda, e a tudo quanto tinha: e levaram-n'os ao valle de Acor.
And so Joshua took Achan, the son of Zerah, and the silver, and the cloak, and the gold bar, also his sons and daughters, the oxen and donkeys and sheep, and even the tent and all his goods, (and all of Israel went with him, ) and he brought these to the valley of Achor.
25 E disse Josué: Como nos turbaste? o Senhor te turbará a ti este dia. E todo o Israel o apedrejou com pedras, e os queimaram a fogo, e os apedrejaram com pedras.
There, Joshua said: “Because you have troubled us, the Lord troubles you, on this day.” And all of Israel stoned him. And all the things that were his were consumed by fire.
26 E levantaram sobre elle um grande montão de pedras, até o dia de hoje; assim o Senhor se tornou do ardor da sua ira: pelo que se chamou o nome d'aquelle logar o valle d'Acor, até ao dia de hoje.
And they gathered upon him a great pile of stones, which remains even to the present day. And the fury of the Lord was averted from them. And the name of that place was called the Valley of Achor, even to this day.
