Josué 5
1 E quando todos os reis dos amorreus, que estavam da outra parte do Jordão ao ocidente, e todos os reis dos cananeus, que estavam próximos do mar, ouviram como o SENHOR havia secado as águas do Jordão diante dos filhos de Israel até que passaram, desfaleceu seu coração, e não houve mais espírito neles diante dos filhos de Israel.
All the kings of the people-groups to the west of the Jordan River and all the kings of the groups who were descendants of Canaan and who lived close to the [Mediterranean] Sea heard about how Yahweh had dried up the water of the Jordan [River] until all we Israeli people had crossed over. So they became very dismayed. They no longer were courageous enough to fight us.
2 Naquele tempo o SENHOR disse a Josué: Faze-te facas afiadas, e volta a circuncidar a segunda vez aos filhos de Israel.
While [they were camped at Gilgal], Yahweh said to Joshua, “[The Israeli males who lived in Egypt were circumcised before they left there. Now] make knives from flint stones and circumcise all the Israeli males [who have been born since then].”
3 E Josué se fez facas afiadas, e circuncidou aos filhos de Israel no monte dos prepúcios.
So Joshua [made knives and] circumcised the Israeli males at a place that is now called ‘Circumcision Hill’.
4 Esta é a causa pela qual Josué os circuncidou: todo aquele povo que havia saído do Egito, os homens, todos os homens de guerra, haviam morrido no deserto pelo caminho, depois que saíram do Egito.
[The reason they did that is that all the men who left Egypt], those who were old enough to be soldiers, died in the desert after they left Egypt.
5 Porque todos os do povo que haviam saído, estavam circuncidados: mas todo aquele povo que havia nascido no deserto pelo caminho, depois que saíram do Egito, não estavam circuncidados.
They had been circumcised in Egypt, but the baby boys who had been born while their parents were camping in the desert after they left Egypt had not been circumcised.
6 Porque os filhos de Israel andaram pelo deserto por quarenta anos, até que toda a gente dos homens de guerra que haviam saído do Egito foi consumida, porquanto não obedeceram à voz do SENHOR; pelo qual o SENHOR lhes jurou que não lhes deixaria ver a terra, da qual o SENHOR havia jurado a seus pais que não as daria, terra que flui leite e mel.
Our Israeli ancestors traveled around in the desert for 40 years, and all the men who were old enough to be soldiers had died. [The women had also died]. They had not obeyed Yahweh, so Yahweh said that they would not arrive at the land that he had promised to our ancestors that he would give to us, a land that was very fertile [MTY].
7 E os filhos deles, que ele havia feito suceder em seu lugar, Josué os circuncidou; pois eram incircuncisos, porque não haviam sido circuncidados pelo caminho.
The sons of those who had disobeyed Yahweh were the ones whom Joshua circumcised at Gilgal. They were circumcised because they had not been circumcised [while they were traveling in the desert].
8 E quando acabaram de circuncidar toda a gente, ficaram no mesmo lugar no acampamento, até que sararam.
After all the Israeli males had been circumcised, they remained in the camp and rested until their wounds were healed.
9 E o SENHOR disse a Josué: Hoje tirei de vós a humilhação do Egito: pelo qual o nome daquele lugar foi chamado Gilgal, até hoje.
Then Yahweh said to Joshua, “[Because your forefathers were slaves in Egypt], the Egyptians felt a revulsion toward you. But today I have removed the revulsion the Egyptians have had toward you.” Because of that, the people called the place ‘Gilgal’, [which sounds like the Hebrew word ‘removed’, ] and it still has that name.
10 E os filhos de Israel assentaram o acampamento em Gilgal, e celebraram a páscoa aos catorze dias do mês, pela tarde, nas planícies de Jericó.
In the evening of the fourteenth day of that month, while the Israeli people were camped at Gilgal, on the plain near Jericho [city], they celebrated the Passover [Festival].
11 E ao outro dia da páscoa comeram do fruto da terra os pães sem levedura, e no mesmo dia espigas novas tostadas.
The next day, they found some barley grain in the fields in that area. So they took that and roasted it and ate it with bread that was made without yeast.
12 E o maná cessou o dia seguinte, desde que começaram a comer do fruto da terra: e os filhos de Israel nunca mais tiveram maná, mas sim que comeram dos frutos da terra de Canaã aquele ano.
The next day, [God] stopped [sending] manna for the Israeli people to eat. After that, they ate food that was grown in Canaan.
13 E estando Josué próximo de Jericó, levantou seus olhos, e viu um homem que estava diante dele, o qual tinha uma espada nua em sua mão. E Josué indo até ele, lhe disse: És dos nossos, ou de nossos inimigos?
One day when Joshua came near Jericho, he looked up and saw a man standing in front of him. The man was holding a sword in his hand. Joshua approached him and asked him, “Are you [going to fight] for us or against us?”
14 E ele respondeu: Não; mas sim Príncipe do exército do SENHOR, agora vim. Então Josué prostrando-se sobre seu rosto em terra o adorou; e disse-lhe: Que diz meu Senhor a seu servo?
The man replied, “I am not [planning to fight with you] or [against you]. Instead, I am the commander of Yahweh’s army [in heaven], and I have come [down from there to assure you that Yahweh will help you].” Then Joshua bowed down with his face on the ground (to show his respect for/to worship) the man, and said to him, “Tell me what [you want me to do].”
15 E o Príncipe do exército do SENHOR respondeu a Josué: Tira teus sapatos de teus pés; porque o lugar onde estás é santo. E Josué o fez assim.
The commander of Yahweh’s army replied, “Take off your sandals! [I am Yahweh, and] the ground on which you are standing is holy because I am here.” So Joshua took off his sandals.
