Josué 4
1 E quando toda a nação acabou de passar o Jordão, o SENHOR falou a Josué, dizendo:
And it came to pass, when all the nation had made an end of passing over the Jordan, that Yahweh slake unto Joshua, saying:
2 Tomai do povo doze homens, de cada tribo um,
Take unto you, from among the people, twelve men, one man severally from each tribe;
3 E mandai-lhes, dizendo: Tomai-vos daqui do meio do Jordão, do lugar de onde estão firmes os pés dos sacerdotes, doze pedras, as quais passareis convosco, e as assentareis no alojamento de onde haveis de passar a noite.
and command ye them, saying, Take you up from hence, out of the midst of the Jordan, from the place where stood the feet of the priests with firm footing, twelve stones; —and carry them over with you, and lay them down in the lodging-place where ye shall lodge, tonight.
4 Então Josué chamou aos doze homens, os quais ele havia ordenado dentre os filhos de Israel, de cada tribo um;
So Joshua called unto the twelve men whom he had made ready, from among the sons of Israel, —one man severally out of each tribe;
5 E disse-lhes Josué: Passai diante da arca do SENHOR vosso Deus ao meio do Jordão; e cada um de vós tome uma pedra sobre seu ombro, conforme ao número das tribos dos filhos de Israel;
and Joshua said unto them: Pass ye over, before the ark of Yahweh your God, into the midst of the Jordan, —and lift ye up, each man one stone upon his shoulder, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Israel:
6 Para que isto seja sinal entre vós; e quando vossos filhos perguntarem a seus pais amanhã, dizendo: “Que vos significam estas pedras?”
that this may be a sign in your midst, —for your sons will ask in time to come, saying, What mean these stones to you?
7 Então vós lhes respondereis: “As águas do Jordão foram interrompidas diante da arca do pacto do SENHOR; quando ela passou pelo Jordão, as águas do Jordão se separaram; e estas pedras serão por memorial aos filhos de Israel para sempre.
Then shall ye say unto them—That the waters of the Jordan, were cut off, from before the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, when it passed into the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan, were cut off. So shall these stones become a memorial unto the sons of Israel, unto times age-abiding.
8 E os filhos de Israel o fizeram assim como Josué havia lhes mandado, e levantaram doze pedras do meio do Jordão, como o SENHOR havia dito a Josué, conforme o número das tribos dos filhos de Israel; e levaram-nas consigo ao alojamento, e ali as puseram.
And the sons of Israel did so, as Joshua commanded, and took up twelve stones out of the midst of the Jordan, as spake Yahweh unto Joshua, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Israel, —and carried them with them unto the place where they lodged, and laid them down there.
9 Josué também levantou doze pedras no meio do Jordão, no lugar onde estiveram os pés dos sacerdotes que levavam a arca do pacto; e ali estão até hoje.
Twelve stones also, did Joshua set up in the midst of the Jordan, in the place where stood the feet of the priests who were bearing the ark of the covenant, —and they have remained there until this day.
10 Pois os sacerdotes que levavam a arca ficaram parados no meio do Jordão, até que se cumpriu tudo o que o SENHOR havia mandado a Josué dizer ao povo, conforme tudo quanto Moisés havia ordenado a Josué; e o povo apressou-se e passou.
Now, the priests who were bearing the ark, continued standing in the midst of the Jordan, until everything was finished which Yahweh commanded Joshua, to speak unto the people, according to all that Moses commanded Joshua, —the people therefore hasted, and passed over.
11 E sucedeu quando todo o povo acabou de passar, então passaram a arca do SENHOR, e os sacerdotes, na presença do povo.
And so it was, as soon as all the people had made an end of passing over, —then passed over the ark of Yahweh, and the priests, in presence of the people.
12 Também os filhos de Rúben, os filhos de Gade, e a meia tribo de Manassés, passaram armados diante dos filhos de Israel, como Moisés havia lhes dito;
Also the sons of Reuben and the sons of Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh, passed over, armed, before the sons of Israel, —as Moses had spoken unto them:
13 cerca de quarenta mil homens prontamente armados passaram ó diante do SENHOR para a batalha, às campina de Jericó.
about forty thousand, equipped for the war, passed over before Yahweh, to battle, into the waste plains of Jericho.
14 Naquele dia o SENHOR engrandeceu Josué à vista de todo Israel; e temeram-no, como haviam temido a Moisés, todos os dias de sua vida.
On that day, did Yahweh magnify Joshua in the eyes of all Israel, —and they revered him, as they revered Moses, all the days of his life.
15 E o SENHOR falou a Josué, dizendo:
Then spake Yahweh unto Joshua, saying:
16 “Manda os sacerdotes que levam a arca do testemunho, que subam do Jordão”.
Command the priests who are bearing the ark of testimony, —that they come up out of the Jordan.
17 E Josué mandou os sacerdotes, dizendo: “Subi do Jordão”.
So Joshua commanded the priests, saying, —Come ye up out of the Jordan.
18 E aconteceu que quando os sacerdotes que levavam a arca do pacto do SENHOR subiram do meio do Jordão, e as plantas dos pés dos sacerdotes estiveram em seco, as águas do Jordão voltaram ao seu lugar, correndo como antes sobre todas as suas margens.
And it came to pass, when the priests who were bearing the ark of the covenant of Yahweh came up out of the midst of the Jordan, and the soles of the feet of the priests were withdrawn unto the dry ground, then returned the waters of the Jordan unto their place, and went, as before, over all his banks.
19 E o povo subiu do Jordão no dia dez do mês primeiro, e assentaram o acampamento em Gilgal, ao lado oriental de Jericó.
So, the people, came up out of the Jordan, on the tenth of the first month, —and encamped in Gilgal, at the eastern end of Jericho.
20 E Josué erigiu em Gilgal as doze pedras que haviam trazido do Jordão.
And, these twelve stones which they took out of the Jordan, did Joshua set up, in Gilgal.
21 E falou aos filhos de Israel, dizendo: Quando amanhã perguntarem vossos filhos a seus pais, e disserem: Que vos significam estas pedras?
Then spake he unto the sons of Israel, saying, —When your sons shall ask, in time to come, of their fathers, saying, —What mean these stones?
22 Declarareis a vossos filhos, dizendo: Israel passou em seco por este Jordão.
then shall ye let your sons know, saying, —On dry ground, came Israel over this Jordan;
23 Porque o SENHOR vosso Deus secou as águas do Jordão diante de vós, até que havíeis passado, à maneira que o SENHOR vosso Deus o havia feito no mar Vermelho, ao qual secou diante de nós até que passamos:
in that Yahweh your God dried up the waters of the Jordan, from before you, until ye had passed over, —as Yahweh your God had done unto the Red Sea, which he dried up from before us, until we had passed over:
24 Para que todos os povos da terra conheçam a mão do SENHOR, que é forte; para que temais ao SENHOR vosso Deus todos os dias.
that all the peoples of the earth might know the hand of Yahweh, that, firm, it is; that they might revere Yahweh your God, all the days.
