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 people of Israel acted unfaithfully regarding the things that were set apart for destruction. Achan son of Karmi son of Zabdi son of Zerah, from the tribe of Judah, took some things that were set apart for destruction, and Yahweh's anger burned against the people 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 was near Beth Aven, east of Bethel. He said to them, “Go up and spy out the land.” So 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.
When they returned to Joshua, they said to him, “Do not send all the people up to Ai. Send only two or three thousand men to go up and attack Ai. Do not make all the people labor in battle, for they are few in number.”
4 Assim, subiram lá do povo alguns três mil homens, os quais fugiram diante dos homens de Dai.
So only about three thousand men went up from the army, but these ran away from 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 killed about thirty-six men as they pursued them from the city gate as far as to the stone quarries, and they killed them as they were going down a hill. 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.
Then Joshua tore his garments. He and the elders of Israel put dust on their heads and lay facedown on the ground in front of the ark of Yahweh, remaining there until evening.
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.
Then Joshua said, “Ah, Yahweh Lord, why have you brought this people across the Jordan at all? To give us into the hands of the Amorites to destroy us? If only we made a different decision and we had stayed on the other side of the Jordan!
8 Ah Senhor! que direi? pois Israel virou as costas diante dos seus inimigos!
Lord, what can 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. They will surround us and make the people of the earth forget our name. 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?
Yahweh said to Joshua, “Get up! Why are you lying there on your 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. They have broken my covenant which I commanded them. They have stolen some of the things that were set apart. They have stolen and then also hidden their sin by putting what they have taken among their own belongings.
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.
As a result, the people of Israel cannot stand before their enemies. They turned their backs from their enemies because they themselves have been set apart for destruction. I will not be with you any more unless you destroy the things that should have been destroyed, but are still 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! Consecrate the people to me and say to them, 'Consecrate yourselves for tomorrow. For Yahweh, the God of Israel says, “There are things set apart to be destroyed that are still among you, Israel. You cannot stand against your enemies until you remove from among you all the things that were set apart to be destroyed.”
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, you must present yourselves by your tribes. The tribe that Yahweh selects will come near by their clans. The clan that Yahweh selects must come near by each household. The household that Yahweh selects must come near one by one.
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 will happen that the one who is selected and who has those things that were set apart for destruction, he will be burned, he and all he has, because he has broken the covenant of Yahweh 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 got up early in the morning and brought Israel near, tribe by tribe, and 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:
Joshua brought the clans of Judah near, and the clan of the Zerahites was selected. He brought near the clan of the Zerahites person by person, 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 Zabdi's household near, person by person, and Achan son of Karmi, son of Zabdi, son of Zerah, from 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.
Then Joshua said to Achan, “My son, tell the truth before Yahweh, the God of Israel, and give your confession to him. Please tell me 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, “Truly, I have sinned against Yahweh, the God of Israel. This is what I did:
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 plunder a beautiful coat from Babylon, two hundred shekels of silver, and a bar of gold weighing fifty shekels, I desired them and took them. They are hidden in the ground in the middle of my tent, and the silver is 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.
Joshua sent messengers, who ran to the tent and there were the things. When they looked, they found them hidden in his own tent, and the silver under them.
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 the items from the middle of the tent and brought them to Joshua and to all the people of Israel. They poured them out before Yahweh.
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.
Then Joshua, and all Israel with him, took Achan son of Zerah, and the silver, the coat, the bar of gold, his sons and daughters, his oxen, 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.
Then Joshua said, “Why have you troubled us? Yahweh will trouble you today.” All Israel stoned him with stones. Then they stoned the rest with stones and burned them with fire.
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 set up over him a great heap of stones that is here until this day. Yahweh turned away his burning anger. Therefore the name of the place is the Valley of Achor until this present day.
