< Josué 6 >

1 Porém Jericó estava fechada, bem fechada, por causa dos filhos de Israel: ninguém entrava, nem saía.
Now Jericho was shut up, and barred up, because of the children of Israel: no one went out, and no one came in.
2 Mas o SENHOR disse a Josué: Olha, eu entreguei em tua mão a Jericó e a seu rei, com seus homens de guerra.
And the Lord said unto Joshua, See, I have given into thy hand Jericho and its king, even the mighty men of valor.
3 Cercareis, pois, a cidade todos os homens de guerra, indo ao redor da cidade uma vez: e isto fareis seis dias.
And ye shall compass the city, all the men of war, going round about the city once. Thus shalt thou do six days.
4 E sete sacerdotes levarão sete trombetas de chifres de carneiros diante da arca; e ao sétimo dia dareis sete voltas à cidade, e os sacerdotes tocarão as trombetas.
And seven priests shall bear before the ark seven cornets of rams' horns; and on the seventh day shall ye compass the city seven times, and the priests shall blow with the cornets.
5 E quando tocarem prolongadamente a trombeta de carneiro, assim que ouvirdes o som da trombeta, todo aquele povo gritará a grande voz, e o muro da cidade cairá debaixo de si: então o povo subirá cada um em frente de si.
And it shall come to pass, that, when they blow a long blast with the ram's horn, when ye hear the sound of the cornet all the people shall utter a great shout; and the wall of the city shall fall down flat, and the people shall ascend up every man straight before him.
6 E chamando Josué filho de Num aos sacerdotes, lhes disse: Levai a arca do pacto, e sete sacerdotes levem trombetas de chifres de carneiros diante da arca do SENHOR.
And Joshua the son of Nun called the priests, and said unto them, Take up the ark of the covenant, and let seven priests bear seven cornets of rams' horns before the ark of the Lord.
7 E disse ao povo: Passai, e rodeai a cidade; e os que estão armados passarão diante da arca do SENHOR.
And he said unto the people, Pass on, and compass the city, and let the armed men pass on before the ark of the Lord.
8 E assim que Josué falou ao povo, os sete sacerdotes, levando as sete trombetas de chifres de carneiros, passaram diante da arca do SENHOR, e tocaram as trombetas: e a arca do pacto do SENHOR os seguia.
And it came to pass, when Joshua had spoken unto the people, that the seven priests, bearing the seven cornets of rams' horns before the Lord, passed on and blew with the cornets; and the ark of the covenant of the Lord followed them.
9 E os homens armados iam diante dos sacerdotes que tocavam as trombetas, e a gente reunida ia detrás da arca, andando e tocando trombetas.
And the armed men went before the priests that blew the cornets, and the rereward came after the ark, going on, and blowing with the cornets.
10 E Josué mandou ao povo, dizendo: Vós não dareis grito, nem se ouvirá vossa voz, nem sairá palavra de vossa boca, até o dia que eu vos diga: Gritai: então dareis grito.
And Joshua had commanded the people, saying, Ye shall not shout, nor let your voice be heard, neither shall any word proceed out of your mouth, until the day I bid you, Shout; and then shall ye shout.
11 Então a arca do SENHOR deu uma volta ao redor da cidade, e vieram-se ao acampamento, no qual tiveram a noite.
So the ark of the Lord compassed the city, going round it once; and they came into the camp, and lodged in the camp.
12 E Josué se levantou de manhã, e os sacerdotes tomaram a arca do SENHOR.
And Joshua rose early in the morning, and the priests took up the ark of the Lord.
13 E os sete sacerdotes, levando as sete trombetas de chifres de carneiros, foram diante da arca do SENHOR, andando sempre e tocando as trombetas; e os armados iam diante deles, e a gente reunida ia detrás da arca do SENHOR, andando e tocando l
And the seven priests bearing the seven cornets of rams' horns before the ark of the Lord went on continually, and blew with the cornets; and the armed men went before them; and the rereward came after the ark of the Lord, going on, and blowing with the cornets.
14 Assim deram outra volta à cidade o segundo dia, e voltaram ao acampamento: desta maneira fizeram por seis dias.
And they compassed the city on the second day once, and returned into the camp: so did they six days.
15 E ao sétimo dia levantaram-se quando subia a alva, e deram volta à cidade da mesma maneira sete vezes: somente este dia deram volta ao redor dela sete vezes.
And it came to pass on the seventh day, that they rose early about the dawning of the day, and compassed the city after this manner seven times; only on that day they compassed the city seven times.
16 E quando os sacerdotes tocaram as trombetas pela sétima vez, Josué disse ao povo: Dai grito, porque o SENHOR vos entregou a cidade.
And it came to pass at the seventh time, when the priest blew with the cornets, that Joshua' said unto the people, Shout; for the Lord hath given you the city.
17 Mas a cidade será anátema ao SENHOR, ela com todas as coisas que estão nela: somente Raabe a prostituta viverá, com todos os que estiverem em casa com ela, porquanto escondeu os mensageiros que enviamos.
And the city shall be devoted, it, and all that is therein, to the Lord: only Rachab the harlot shall live, she and all that are with her in the house; because she did hide the messengers that we sent.
18 Porém guardai-vos vós do anátema, que nem toqueis, nem tomeis alguma coisa do anátema, porque não façais anátema o acampamento de Israel, e o perturbeis.
But ye, keep yourselves from the devoted things, lest ye devote and yet take of the devoted things, and make the camp of Israel a curse, and trouble it.
19 Mas toda a prata, e o ouro, e vasos de bronze e de ferro, seja consagrado ao SENHOR, e venha ao tesouro do SENHOR.
And all the silver, and gold, and vessels of copper and iron, shall be holy unto the Lord: into the treasury of the Lord shall they come.
20 Então o povo deu grito, e os sacerdotes tocaram as trombetas: e aconteceu que quando o povo ouviu o som da trombeta, deu o povo grito com grande barulho, e o muro caiu verticalmente. O povo subiu logo à cidade, cada um em frente de si, e tomaram-na.
So the people shouted, when they blew with the cornets; and it came to pass, when the people heard the sound of the cornet, that the people uttered a great shout, and the wall fell down flat, and the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they captured the city.
21 E destruíram tudo o que na cidade havia; homens e mulheres, moços e anciãos, até os bois, e ovelhas, e asnos, a fio de espada.
And they utterly destroyed all that was in the city, both man and woman, young and old, and ox, and lamb, and ass, with the edge of the sword.
22 Mas Josué disse aos dois homens que haviam reconhecido a terra: Entrai em casa da mulher prostituta, e fazei sair dali à mulher, e a tudo o que for seu, como o jurastes.
But unto the two men that had spied out the country, Joshua said, Go into the house of the woman, the harlot, and bring out thence the woman, and all belonging to her, as ye have sworn unto her.
23 E os rapazes espias entraram, e tiraram a Raabe, e a seu pai, e a sua mãe, e a seus irmãos, e todo o que era seu; e também tiraram a toda sua parentela, e puseram-nos fora do acampamento de Israel.
And the young men, the spies, went in, and brought out Rachab, and her father, and her mother, and her brothers, and all belonging to her: and they brought out all her kindred, and they left them without the camp of Israel.
24 E consumiram com fogo a cidade, e tudo o que nela havia: somente puseram no tesouro da casa do SENHOR a prata, e o ouro, e os vasos de bronze e de ferro.
And the city they burnt with fire, and all that was therein: only the silver, and the gold, and the vessels of copper and of iron, they put into the treasury of the house of the Lord.
25 Mas Josué salvou a vida a Raabe a prostituta, e à casa de seu pai, e a tudo o que ela tinha: e habitou ela entre os israelitas até hoje; porquanto escondeu os mensageiros que Josué enviou a reconhecer a Jericó.
And Rachab the harlot did Joshua save alive, and her father's household, and all belonging to her; and she dwelt in the midst of Israel even unto this day; because she had hidden the messengers, whom Joshua had sent to spy out Jericho.
26 E naquele tempo Josué lhes juramentou dizendo: Maldito diante do SENHOR o homem que se levantar e reedificar esta cidade de Jericó. Em seu primogênito lance seus alicerces, e em seu menor assente suas portas.
And Joshua adjured [the people] at that time, saying, Cursed be the man before the Lord, that will rise up and build this city Jericho: with his first-born shall he lay its foundation, and with his youngest shall he set up its gates.
27 Foi, pois, o SENHOR com Josué, e seu nome se divulgou por toda a terra.
And the Lord was with Joshua; and his fame was spread throughout all the country.
