< 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 children of Israel committed a trespass in the devoted things; for Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took some of the devoted things. Therefore Jehovah's anger burned 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 bethel, falou-lhes, dizendo: Subi, e espiai a terra. Subiram pois aqueles homens, e espiaram a Hai.
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." 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.
They returned to Joshua, and said to him, "Do not let all the people go up; but let about two or three thousand men go up and strike Ai. Do not make all the people to toil there, for there are only a few of them."
4 Assim, subiram lá do povo alguns três mil homens, os quais fugiram diante dos homens de Dai.
So about three thousand men of the people went up there, 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.
The men of Ai struck about thirty-six men of them, and they chased them from before the gate even to the Shebarim, and struck them at the descent. The hearts of the people melted, and became like 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.
Joshua tore his clothes, and fell to the earth on his face before the ark of Jehovah until the evening, he and the elders of Israel; and they put dust on 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.
Joshua said, "Alas, Lord Jehovah, why have you brought this people over the Jordan at all, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to cause us to perish? I wish that we had been content and lived beyond the Jordan.
8 Ah Senhor! que direi? pois Israel virou as costas diante dos seus inimigos!
Oh, Lord, what shall I say, after that 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 surround us, and cut off our name from the earth. What will you do for your great name?"
10 Então disse o Senhor a Josué: Levanta-te: porque estás prostrado assim sobre o teu rosto?
Jehovah said to Joshua, "Get up. Why are you fallen on your face like that?
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, and they have even transgressed my covenant which I commanded them. And they have even taken of the devoted things, and have also stolen, and also deceived. 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 children of Israel can't stand before their enemies. They turn their backs before their enemies, because they have become devoted for destruction. I will not be with you any more, unless you destroy the devoted things 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.
Get up. Sanctify the people, and say, 'Sanctify yourselves for tomorrow, for Jehovah, the God of Israel, says, "There is a devoted thing in the midst of you, Israel. You cannot stand before your enemies until you 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 you shall be brought near by your tribes. It shall be that the tribe which Jehovah selects shall come near by families. The family which Jehovah selects shall come near by households. The household which Jehovah selects 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.
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 done a disgraceful thing 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. The tribe of Judah was selected.
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:
He brought near the families of Judah; and he selected the family of the Zerahites. He brought near the family of the Zerahites man by man, and Zabdi was selected.
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.
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 selected.
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.
Joshua said to Achan, "My son, please give glory to Jehovah, the God of Israel, and make confession to him. Tell me now what you have done. Do not hide it from me."
20 E respondeu Acan a Josué, e disse: Verdadeiramente pequei contra o Senhor Deus de Israel, e fiz assim e assim.
Achan answered Joshua, and said, "I have truly sinned against Jehovah, the God of Israel, and this is what I have 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 beautiful garment from Shinar, two hundred shekels of silver, and a bar of gold weighing fifty shekels, then I coveted them and took them. Look, they are hidden in the ground in the middle of my tent, with 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. Look, it was hidden in his tent, with 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.
They took them from the middle of the tent, and brought them to Joshua and to all the children of Israel. 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.
Joshua, and all Israel with him, took Achan the son of Zerah, the silver, the robe, the wedge of gold, his sons, his daughters, his cattle, his donkeys, his sheep, 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.
Joshua said, "Why have you troubled us? Jehovah will trouble you this day." 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.
They raised over him a great heap of stones that remains to this day. Jehovah turned from the fierceness of his anger. Therefore the name of that place was called "The Valley of Achor" to this day.
