Josué 10
1 E quando Adoni-Zedeque rei de Jerusalém ouviu que Josué havia tomado a Ai, e que a haviam assolado, (como havia feito a Jericó e a seu rei, assim fez a Ai e a seu rei; ) e que os moradores de Gibeão fizeram paz com os israelitas, e que estavam entre eles;
Later, Adonizedek, the king of Jerusalem, heard that Joshua’s army had captured Ai [town] and had destroyed everything in the town. He heard that they had done to the people of Ai and to their king the same thing that they had done to the people of Jericho and their king. He also heard that the people of Gibeon [city] had made a peace treaty with the Israeli people, and that the people of Gibeon were now living near the Israelis and being protected by them.
2 Tiveram muito grande temor; porque Gibeão era uma grande cidade, como uma das cidades reais, e maior que Ai, e todos os seus homens fortes.
Because of that, he and the people whom he ruled became very afraid, because Gibeon was an important city, like the other cities that had kings. And [even though] Gibeon was a larger city than Ai and all its soldiers were good fighters, [they thought Joshua’s army might defeat them].
3 Enviou, pois, a dizer Adoni-Zedeque rei de Jerusalém, a Hoão rei de Hebrom, e a Pirã rei de Jeremote, e a Jafia rei de Laquis, e a Debir rei de Eglom:
So King Adonizedek sent a message to Hosham the king of Hebron [city], to Piram the king of Jarmuth [city], to Jarmuth the king of Lachish [city], and to Debir the king of Eglon [city].
4 Subi a mim, e ajudai-me, e combatamos a Gibeão: porque fez paz com Josué e com os filhos de Israel.
In the message he said, “Please come up with your armies and help me to attack Gibeon, because the people of Gibeon have made a peace treaty with Joshua and the Israelis.”
5 E cinco reis dos amorreus, o rei de Jerusalém, o rei de Hebrom, o rei de Jeremote, o rei de Laquis, o rei de Eglom, se juntaram e subiram, eles com todos os seus exércitos, e assentaram acampamento sobre Gibeão, e lutaram contra ela.
So those five kings who ruled all the groups who were descendants of Amor—the kings of Jerusalem, Hebron, Jarmuth, Lachish, and Debir—came up with all of their soldiers and surrounded the city. Then they prepared to attack it.
6 E os moradores de Gibeão enviaram a dizer a Josué ao acampamento em Gilgal: Não encolhas tuas mãos de teus servos; sobe prontamente a nós para guardar-nos e ajudar-nos: porque todos os reis dos amorreus que habitam nas montanhas, se juntaram contra nós.
So the people of Gibeon sent a message to Joshua while he was in the camp at Gilgal. They said, “We are your servants. So do not forsake us. Come up to us quickly and save us! Help us, because the kings of all of the groups descended from Amor and their armies have joined their forces and have come from the hilly area to attack us!”
7 E subiu Josué de Gilgal, ele e todo aquele povo de guerra com ele, e todos os homens valentes.
So Joshua and all his army, including the soldiers who were his best fighting men, marched up from Gilgal.
8 E o SENHOR disse a Josué: Não tenhas medo deles: porque eu os entreguei em tua mão, e nenhum deles resistirá diante de ti.
Then Yahweh said to Joshua, “Do not be afraid of those armies! I will enable your army to defeat them [IDM]. None of them will be able to (resist/fight and defeat) your army.”
9 E Josué veio a eles de repente, toda a noite subiu desde Gilgal.
Joshua’s army marched all night and arrived very early in the morning.
10 E o SENHOR os perturbou diante de Israel, e feriu-os com grande mortandade em Gibeão: e seguiu-os pelo caminho que sobe a Bete-Horom, e feriu-os até Azeca e Maceda.
They attacked their enemies before anyone knew that they had come. Yahweh caused their enemies to (become very confused/start running in all directions) when they saw the Israeli army. As a result, the Israeli army defeated them very severely at Gibeon [and killed many of them]. The rest of them fled along the road that goes up to Beth-Horon. But the Israeli army pursued them and killed them all along the road that goes to Azekah and Makkedah towns.
11 E quando iam fugindo dos israelitas, à descida de Bete-Horom, o SENHOR lançou sobre eles do céu grandes pedras até Azeca, e morreram: muitos mais morreram das pedras do granizo, que os que os filhos de Israel haviam matado à espada.
As they fled in front of the Israeli army, Yahweh threw down huge hailstones from the sky. As a result, more of them died from hailstones falling on them than died as a result of the Israeli army killing them with swords.
12 Então Josué falou ao SENHOR o dia que o SENHOR entregou aos amorreus diante dos filhos de Israel, e disse em presença dos israelitas: Sol, detém-te em Gibeão; E tu, Lua, no vale de Aijalom.
On the day that Yahweh enabled the Israeli army to defeat the groups who were descendants of Amor, Joshua said to Yahweh while the Israeli people were listening, “Yahweh, cause the sun to stand still over Gibeon, and cause the moon to not move when it is over Aijalon Valley.”
13 E o sol se deteve e a lua se parou, Até tanto que a gente se havia vingado de seus inimigos. Não está este escrito no livro de Jasar? E o sol se parou em meio do céu, e não se apressou a se pôr quase um dia inteiro.
And that is what happened. The sun stood still, and the moon did not move, until the Israeli army defeated their enemies. That is what has been written in the book that Jashar wrote. The sun stopped while it was in the middle of the sky, and did not (set/go down) for about a whole day.
14 E nunca foi tal dia antes nem depois daquele, havendo atendido o SENHOR à voz de um homem: porque o SENHOR lutava por Israel.
On that day Yahweh did a great miracle that someone asked him to do. There was never a day like that previously, and there has never been a day like that since. Yahweh was certainly fighting for the Israeli people!
15 E Josué, e todo Israel com ele, voltava-se ao acampamento em Gilgal.
After Joshua’s army defeated their enemies, they all returned to their camp at Gilgal.
16 Porém os cinco reis fugiram, e se esconderam em uma cova em Maquedá.
While the enemy soldiers were fleeing from Joshua’s army, their five kings also fled and hid in a cave at Makkedah [town].
17 E foi dito a Josué que os cinco reis haviam sido achados em uma cova em Maquedá.
Then someone told Joshua, “We found those five kings, hiding in a cave at Makkedah!”
18 Então Josué disse: Rolai grandes pedras à boca da cova, e ponde homens junto a ela que os guardem;
When Joshua heard that, he said, “Roll some very large rocks to the entrance of the cave so that the kings cannot escape, and leave some soldiers there to guard it.
19 E vós não vos pareis, mas sim segui a vossos inimigos, e feri-lhes a retaguarda, sem deixar-lhes entrar em suas cidades; porque o SENHOR vosso Deus os entregou em vossa mão.
But do not stay there! Pursue our enemies! Attack them from behind! Do not allow them to escape to their cities, because Yahweh, our God, will enable you to defeat/kill them. [IDM]”
20 E aconteceu que quando Josué e os filhos de Israel acabaram de feri-los com mortandade muito grande, até destruí-los, os que restaram deles se meteram nas cidades fortes.
So Joshua’s army did what he told them to do. They killed almost all of the enemy soldiers, but a few of them were able to reach their cities and be safe inside the walls of the cities.
21 E todo aquele povo se voltou salvo ao acampamento a Josué em Maquedá; que não houve quem movesse sua língua contra os filhos de Israel.
Then Joshua’s army returned to Joshua, who was still in their camp at Makkedah. No one in the land dared to criticize [MTY] the Israelis.
22 Então disse Josué: Abri a boca da cova, e tirai-me dela a estes cinco reis.
Then Joshua said, “Open the entrance of the cave, and bring out to me those five kings!”
23 E fizeram-no assim, e tiraram-lhe da cova aqueles cinco reis: ao rei de Jerusalém, ao rei de Hebrom, ao rei de Jeremote, ao rei de Laquis, ao rei de Eglom.
So the soldiers brought those five kings out of the cave—the kings of Jerusalem, Hebron, Jarmuth, Lachish, and Eglon.
24 E quando tiraram estes reis a Josué, chamou Josué a todos os homens de Israel, e disse aos principais da gente de guerra que haviam vindo com ele: Chegai e ponde vossos pés sobre os pescoços destes reis. E eles se aproximaram, e puseram seus pés sobre os pescoços deles.
When they brought those kings to Joshua [and forced them to lie on the ground], he summoned all the Israeli soldiers, and then he said to the army commanders, “Come here and put your feet on the necks of these kings!” So the commanders did that.
25 E Josué lhes disse: Não temais, nem vos atemorizeis; sede fortes e valentes: porque assim fará o SENHOR a todos vossos inimigos contra os quais lutai.
Then Joshua said to them, “Do not be afraid of any of our enemies! Never be discouraged! Be strong and courageous. This is what Yahweh will do to all the enemies you will fight!”
26 E depois disto Josué os feriu e os matou, e os fez enforcar em cinco madeiros: e restaram enforcados nos madeiros até à tarde.
Then Joshua killed each of the five kings with his sword, and told his soldiers to hang the bodies of the five kings on trees. So they did that, and they left the bodies hanging on the trees until sunset.
27 E quando o sol se ia a pôr, mandou Josué que os tirassem dos madeiros, e os lançassem na cova de onde se haviam escondido: e puseram grandes pedras à boca da cova, até hoje.
At sunset, Joshua told them to take the bodies down from the trees and throw them into the cave where they had been hiding. So the soldiers did that, and then they put those large rocks at the entrance of the cave again. Those rocks are still there.
28 Naquele mesmo dia tomou Josué a Maquedá, e a pôs à espada, e matou a seu rei; a eles e a tudo o que nela tinha vida, sem restar nada: mas ao rei de Maquedá fez como havia feito ao rei de Jericó.
That is how Joshua’s army attacked and captured Makkedah. They killed the king and everyone else in the town. They did not leave anyone alive. They did to the king of Makkedah the same thing that they had done to the king of Jericho.
29 E de Maquedá passou Josué, e todo Israel com ele, a Libna; e lutou contra Libna:
That same day, Joshua and his Israeli army went [southwest] from Makkedah to Libnah [city] and attacked it.
30 E o SENHOR a entregou também a ela, e a seu rei, em mãos de Israel; e feriu-a a fio de espada, com tudo o que nela havia vivo, sem restar nada: mas a seu rei fez da maneira que havia feito ao rei de Jericó.
Yahweh enabled the Israelis to conquer [MTY] that city and its king. They killed everyone in the city; they did not (spare anyone/allow anyone to remain alive). They killed the king of Libnah just like they had killed the king of Jericho.
31 E Josué, e todo Israel com ele, passou de Libna a Laquis, e pôs acampamento contra ela, e combateu-a:
Then Joshua and his army went [south] from Libnah to Lachish [city]. They surrounded the city and attacked it.
32 E o SENHOR entregou a Laquis em mão de Israel, e tomou-a ao dia seguinte, e feriu-a à espada, com tudo o que nela havia vivo, como havia feito em Libna.
On the second day of the battle, Yahweh enabled the Israelis to conquer [MTY] the city. And like they had done at Libnah, they killed everyone [DOU] in the city.
33 Então Horão, rei de Gezer, subiu em ajuda de Laquis; mas a ele e a seu povo feriu Josué, até não restar nenhum deles.
King Horam from Gezer [city and his army] came to help [the soldiers of] Lachish, but Joshua’s [army] defeated Horam and his army, and did not allow any of them to remain alive.
34 De Laquis passou Josué, e todo Israel com ele, a Eglom: e puseram acampamento contra ela, e combateram-na:
Then Joshua and his army went [west] from Lachish to Eglon [city]. They surrounded the city and attacked it.
35 E a tomaram no mesmo dia, e meteram-na à espada; e aquele dia matou a todo o que nela havia vivo, como havia feito em Laquis.
On that day, they captured the city and killed [MTY] everyone in it [DOU], just like they had done at Lachish.
36 Subiu logo Josué, e todo Israel com ele, de Eglom a Hebrom, e combateram-na;
Then Joshua and his army went [west from Eglon] up [into the hills] to Hebron [city]. They attacked the city
37 E tomando-a, feriram-na à espada, a seu rei e a todas as suas cidades, com tudo o que nela havia vivo, sem restar nada: como fizeram a Eglom, assim a destruíram com tudo o que nela havia vivo.
and captured it. They killed the king and everyone else, just like they had done at Eglon. They did not allow anyone to remain alive.
38 E voltando-se Josué, e todo Israel com ele, sobre Debir, combateu-a;
Then Joshua and his army turned [south] and went to Debir [city] and attacked it.
39 E tomou-a, e a seu rei, e a todas as suas vilas; e feriram-nos à espada, e destruíram tudo o que ali dentro havia vivo, sem restar nada; como havia feito a Hebrom, assim fez a Debir e a seu rei; e como havia feito a Libna e a seu rei.
They captured the city and its king, and also captured the nearby towns. Then they killed everyone [DOU]; they did to the people there the same thing that they had done at Hebron and Libnah.
40 Feriu pois Josué toda a região das montanhas, e do sul, e das planícies, e das costas, e a todos os seus reis, sem restar nada; tudo o que tinha vida matou, ao modo que o SENHOR Deus de Israel o havia mandado.
That is how Joshua [and his army] conquered the entire southern part of Canaan. They defeated the kings [who ruled] the hilly area, the dry southern area, the [western] foothills, and the [eastern] slopes. They killed everyone [DOU] in those areas; they did not allow anyone to remain alive.
41 E feriu-os Josué desde Cades-Barneia até Gaza, e toda a terra de Gósen até Gibeão.
Joshua’s soldiers captured all the cities from Kadesh-Barnea [city] in the far south to Gaza [city] near the coast, including all the Goshen area, and north to Gibeon [city].
42 Todos estes reis e suas terras tomou Josué de uma vez; porque o SENHOR o Deus de Israel lutava por Israel.
At that one time, Joshua’s army conquered all the kings and captured all the territory that they [ruled]. They were able to do that because Yahweh, the God whom the Israeli people [worship], was fighting for them.
43 E voltou Josué, e todo Israel com ele, ao acampamento em Gilgal.
Then Joshua and his army returned to their camp at Gilgal.
