Josué 7
1 E trespassaram os filhos de Israel no anátema: porque Acan, filho de Carmi, filho de Zabdi, filho de Sera, da tribo de Judá, tomou do anátema, e a ira do Senhor se acendeu contra os filhos de Israel.
But the sons of Israel committed a trespass in what was set apart. For Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took from what was set apart, and the anger of Jehovah was kindled 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 bethel, falou-lhes, dizendo: Subi, e espiai a terra. Subiram pois aqueles homens, e espiaram a Hai.
And Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai, which is beside Beth-aven, on the east side of Bethel, and spoke to them, saying, Go up and spy out the land. And the men went up and spied out Ai.
3 E voltaram a Josué, e disseram-lhe: Não suba todo o povo; subam alguns dois mil, ou três mil homens, a ferir a Hai: não fatigues ali a todo o povo, porque poucos são.
And they returned to Joshua, and said to him, Let not all the people go up, but let about two or three thousand men go up and smite Ai. Do not make all the people to toil there, for they are but few.
4 Assim, subiram lá do povo alguns três mil homens, os quais fugiram diante dos homens de Dai.
So there went up there of the people about three thousand men. And they fled before the men of Ai.
5 E os homens de Hai feriram deles alguns trinta e seis, e seguiram-nos desde a porta até Shebarim, e feriram-nos na descida; e o coração do povo se derreteu e se tornou como água.
And the men of Ai smote of them about thirty-six men. And they chased them from before the gate even to Shebarim, and smote them at the descent. And the hearts of the people melted, and became as water.
6 Então Josué rasgou os seus vestidos, e se prostrou em terra sobre o seu rosto perante a arca do Senhor até à tarde, ele e os anciãos de Israel: e deitaram pó sobre as suas cabeças.
And Joshua tore his clothes, and fell to the earth upon his face before the ark of Jehovah until the evening, he and the elders of Israel, and they put dust upon their heads.
7 E disse Josué: Ah Senhor Jehovah! porque, com efeito, fizeste passar a este povo o Jordão, para nos dares nas mãos dos amorreus, para nos fazerem perecer? oxalá nos contentaramos com ficarmos de além do Jordão.
And Joshua said, Alas, O lord Jehovah, why have thou at all brought this people over the Jordan, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to cause us to perish? Would that we had been content and dwelt beyond the Jordan!
8 Ah Senhor! que direi? pois Israel virou as costas diante dos seus inimigos!
Oh, Lord, what shall I say after Israel has turned their backs before their enemies!
9 Ouvindo isto, os cananeus, e todos os moradores da terra, nos cercarão e desarreigarão o nosso nome da terra: e então que farás ao teu grande nome?
For the Canaanites and all the inhabitants of the land will hear of it, and will encompass us around, and cut off our name from the earth, and what will thou do for thy great name?
10 Então disse o Senhor a Josué: Levanta-te: porque estás prostrado assim sobre o teu rosto?
And Jehovah said to Joshua, Get thee up. Why are thou thus fallen upon thy face?
11 Israel pecou, e até transgrediram o meu concerto que lhes tinha ordenado, e até tomaram do anátema, e também furtaram, e também mentiram, e até debaixo da sua bagagem o puseram.
Israel has sinned. Yes, they have even transgressed my covenant which I commanded them. Yes, they have even taken from what was set apart, and have also stolen, and also dissembled. And they have even put it among their own stuff.
12 Pelo que os filhos de Israel não puderam subsistir perante os seus inimigos: viraram as costas diante dos seus inimigos; porquanto estão amaldiçoados: não serei mais convosco, se não desarreigardes o anátema do meio de vós.
Therefore the sons of Israel cannot stand before their enemies. They turn their backs before their enemies because they have become accursed. I will not be with you any more unless ye destroy what was set apart from among you.
13 Levanta-te, santifica o povo, e dize: santificai-vos para amanhã, porque assim diz o Senhor, o Deus de Israel: anátema há no meio de ti, Israel: diante dos teus inimigos não poderás suster-te, até que não tires o anátema do meio de vós.
Up, sanctify the people, and say, Sanctify yourselves against tomorrow. For thus says Jehovah, the God of Israel, There is what has been set apart in the midst of thee, O Israel. Thou cannot stand before thine enemies until ye take away the devoted thing from among you.
14 Amanhã pois vos chegareis, segundo as vossas tribos: e será que a tribo que o Senhor tomar se chegará, segundo as famílias; e a família que o Senhor tomar se chegará por casas; e a casa que o Senhor tomar se chegará homem por homem
In the morning therefore ye shall be brought near by your tribes, and it shall be, that the tribe which Jehovah takes shall come near by families, and the family which Jehovah shall take shall come near by households, and the household which Jehovah shall take shall come near man by man.
15 E será que aquele que for tomado com o anátema será queimado a fogo, ele e tudo quanto tiver: porquanto transgrediu o concerto do Senhor, e fez uma loucura em Israel.
And it shall be, that he who is taken with the devoted thing shall be burnt with fire, he and all that he has, because he has transgressed the covenant of Jehovah, and because he has wrought folly in Israel.
16 Então Josué se levantou de madrugada, e fez chegar a Israel, segundo as suas tribos: e a tribo de Judá foi tomada:
So Joshua rose up early in the morning, and brought Israel near by their tribes, and the tribe of Judah was taken.
17 E, fazendo chegar a tribo de Judá, tomou a família de Zarchi: e, fazendo chegar a família de Zarchi, homem por homem, foi tomado Zabdi:
And he brought near the family of Judah, and he took the family of the Zerahites. And he brought near the family of the Zerahites man by man, and Zabdi was taken.
18 E, fazendo chegar a sua casa, homem por homem, foi tomado Acan, filho de Carmi, filho de Zabdi, filho de Serah, da tribo de Judá.
And he brought near his household man by man, and Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, was taken.
19 Então disse Josué a Acan: Filho meu, dá, peço-te, glória ao Senhor Deus de Israel, e faze confissão perante ele; e declara-me agora o que fizeste, não mo ocultes.
And Joshua said to Achan, My son, give, I pray thee, glory to Jehovah, the God of Israel, and make confession to him, and tell me now what thou have done. Hide it not from me.
20 E respondeu Acan a Josué, e disse: Verdadeiramente pequei contra o Senhor Deus de Israel, e fiz assim e assim.
And Achan answered Joshua, and said, Of a truth I have sinned against Jehovah, the God of Israel, and thus and thus have I done:
21 Quando vi entre os despojos uma boa capa Babilônica, e duzentos siclos de prata, e uma cunha de ouro do peso de cincoênta siclos, cobicei-os e tomei-os: e eis que estão escondidos na terra, no meio da minha tenda, e a prata debaixo dela.
When I saw among the spoil a goodly Babylonian mantle, and two hundred shekels of silver, and a wedge of gold of fifty shekels weight, then I coveted them, and took them. And, behold, they are hid in the ground in the midst of my tent, and the silver under it.
22 Então Josué enviou mensageiros, que foram correndo à tenda: e eis que estava escondido na sua tenda, e a prata debaixo dela.
So Joshua sent messengers, and they ran to the tent. And, behold, it was hid in his tent, and the silver under it.
23 Tomaram pois aquelas coisas do meio da tenda, e as trouxeram a Josué e a todos os filhos de Israel: e as deitaram perante o Senhor.
And they took them from the midst of the tent, and brought them to Joshua, and to all the sons of Israel, and they laid them down before Jehovah.
24 Então Josué e todo o Israel com ele tomaram a Acan, filho de Serah, e a prata, e a capa, e a cunha de ouro, 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-nos ao vale de Acor.
And Joshua, and all Israel with him, took Achan the son of Zerah, and the silver, and the mantle, and the wedge of gold, and his sons, and his daughters, and his oxen, and his donkeys, and his sheep, and his tent, and all that he had, and they brought them up 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.
And Joshua said, Why have thou troubled us? Jehovah shall trouble thee this day. And all Israel stoned him with stones, and they burned them with fire, and stoned them with stones.
26 E levantaram sobre ele 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 daquele lugar o vale de Acor, até ao dia de hoje.
And they raised over him a great heap of stones, to this day, and Jehovah turned from the fierceness of his anger. Therefore the name of that place was called the valley of Achor to this day.
