Josué 6
1 Ora Jericó cerrou-se, e estava cerrada por causa dos filhos de Israel: nenhum saía 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.
The LORD 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 sétimo 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 nele, 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: levai 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 the LORD’s ark.”
7 E disse ao povo: passai e rodeai 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 the LORD’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 the LORD advanced and blew the trumpets, and the ark of the LORD’s covenant followed them.
9 E os armados iam adiante dos sacerdotes, que tocavam as buzinas: e a retaguarda 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 boca, até ao dia que eu vos diga: gritai. 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 the LORD’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 the LORD’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 deles, e a retaguarda seguia atráz 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 the LORD’s ark went on continually, and blew the trumpets. The armed men went in front of them. The rear guard came after the LORD’s ark. The trumpets sounded as they went.
14 Assim rodearam 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 sucedeu que ao sétimo dia madrugaram ao subir da alva, e da mesma maneira rodearam a cidade sete vezes: naquele dia somente rodearam 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 sucedeu que, tocando os sacerdotes a sétima vez as buzinas, disse Josué ao povo: gritai; 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 the LORD has given you the city!
17 Porém a cidade será anátema ao Senhor, ela e tudo quanto houver nela: somente a prostituta Rahab viverá, ela e todos os que com ela estiverem em casa; porquanto escondeu os mensageiros que enviamos.
The city shall be devoted, even it and all that is in it, to the LORD. 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 somente guardai-vos do anátema, para que não vos metais em anátema tomando dela, e assim façais 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 ouro, e os vasos de metal, e de ferro, são consagrados ao Senhor: irão ao tesouro do Senhor.
But all the silver, gold, and vessels of bronze and iron are holy to the LORD. They shall come into the LORD’s treasury.”
20 Gritou pois o povo, tocando os sacerdotes as buzinas: e sucedeu que, ouvindo o povo o sonido da buzina, gritou o povo com grande grita; e o muro caiu abaixo, e o povo subiu à 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 à mulher, desde o menino até ao velho, e até ao boi e gado miúdo, 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: entrai na casa da mulher prostituta, e tirai 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 pai, e a sua mãe, e a seus irmãos, e a tudo quanto tinha; tiraram também a todas as suas famílias, e puseram-nos fora do arraial de 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 nela queimaram-no a fogo: tão somente a prata, e o ouro, e os vasos de metal e de ferro, deram para o tesouro 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 the LORD’s house.
25 Assim deu Josué vida à prostituta Rahab, e à família de seu pai, 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 naquele tempo Josué os esconjurou, dizendo: Maldito diante do Senhor seja o homem que se levantar e reedificar esta cidade de Jericó: no seu primogênito 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 the LORD 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 the LORD was with Joshua; and his fame was in all the land.
