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 children of Israel transgressed the commandment, and took to their own use of the anathema. For Achan the son of Charmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zare of the tribe of Juda, took something of the anathema: and the Lord was angry against the children 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 Josue sent men from Jericho against Hai, which is beside Bethaven, on the east side of the town of Bethel, he said to them: Go up, and view the country: and they fulfilled his command, and viewed Hai.
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 all the people go up, but let two or three thousand men go and destroy the city: why should all the people be troubled in vain against enemies that are very few?
4 Assim, subiram lá do povo alguns tres mil homens, os quaes fugiram diante dos homens de Dai.
There went up therefore three thousand fighting men: who immediately 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 defeated by the men of the city of Hai, and there fell of them six and thirty men: and the enemies pursued them from the gate as far as Sabarim, and they slew them as they fled by the descent: and the heart of the people was struck with fear, and 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.
But Josue rent his garments, and fell flat on the ground before the ark of the Lord until the evening, both he and all the ancients of Israel: and they put 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 Josue said: Alas, O Lord God, why wouldst thou bring this people over the river Jordan, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorrhite, and to destroy us? would God, we had stayed beyond the Jordan as 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 Chanaanites, and all the inhabitants of the land will hear of it, and being gathered together will surround us and cut off our name from the earth: and what wilt thou do to thy great name?
10 Então disse o Senhor a Josué: Levanta-te: porque estás prostrado assim sobre o teu rosto?
And the Lord said to Josue: Arise, why liest thou 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 hath sinned, and transgressed my covenant: and they have taken of the anathema, and have stolen and lied, and 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.
Neither can Israel stand before his enemies, but he shall flee from them: because he is defiled with the anathema. I will be no more with you, till you destroy him that 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.
Arise, sanctify the people, and say to them: Be ye sanctified against tomorrow: for thus saith the Lord God of Israel: The anathema is in the midst of thee, O Israel: thou canst not stand before thy enemies, till he be destroyed out of thee that is defiled with this wickedness.
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 come in the morning every one by your tribes: and what tribe soever the lot shall find, it shall come by its kindreds and the kindred by its 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 whosoever he be that shall be found guilty of this fact, he shall be burnt with fire with all his substance, because he hath transgressed the covenant of the Lord, and hath done wickedness 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:
Josue, therefore, when he rose in the morning, made Israel to come by their tribes, and the tribe of Juda 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:
Which being brought by its families, it was found to be the family of Zare. Bringing that also by the houses, he found it to be 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 bringing his house man by man, he found Achan the son of Charmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zare of the tribe of Juda.
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 Josue said to Achan: My son, give glory to the Lord God of Israel, and confess, and tell me what thou hast done, hide it not.
20 E respondeu Acan a Josué, e disse: Verdadeiramente pequei contra o Senhor Deus de Israel, e fiz assim e assim.
And Achan answered Josue, and said to him: Indeed I have sinned against the Lord the God of Israel, and thus and thus have I done.
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 scarlet garment exceeding good, and two hundred sides of silver, and a golden rule of fifty sides: and I coveted them, and I took them away, and hid them in the ground is the midst of my tent, and the silver I covered with the earth that I dug up.
22 Então Josué enviou mensageiros, que foram correndo á tenda: e eis que estava escondido na sua tenda, e a prata debaixo d'ella.
Josue therefore sent ministers: who running to his tent, found all 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 them away out of the tent, they brought them to Josue, and to all the children of Israel, and threw 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.
Then Josue and all Israel with him took Achan the son of Zare, and the silver and the garments, and the golden rule, his sons also and his daughters, his oxen and asses and sheep, the tent also, and all the goods: and brought them 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.
Where Josue said: Because thou hast troubled us, the Lord trouble thee this day. And all Israel stoned him: and all things that were his, were consumed with 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 together upon him a great heap of stones, which remaineth until this present day. And the wrath of the Lord was turned away from them. And the name of that place was called the Valley of Achor, until this day.
