Josué 6
1 Porém Jericó estava fechada, bem fechada, por causa dos filhos de Israel: ninguém entrava, nem saía.
Now Jericho was tightly shut 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.
The LORD said to Joshua, “Behold, I have given Jericho into your hand, with its king and the mighty men of valour.
3 Cercareis, pois, a cidade todos os homens de guerra, indo ao redor da cidade uma vez: e isto fareis seis dias.
All of your men of war shall march around the city, going around the city once. You shall do this 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.
Seven priests shall bear seven shofars of rams’ horns before the ark. On the seventh day, you shall march around the city seven times, and the priests shall blow the shofars.
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.
It shall be that when they make a long blast with the ram’s horn, and when you hear the sound of the shofar, all the people shall shout with a great shout; then the city wall will fall down flat, and the people shall go up, every man straight in front of 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.
Joshua the son of Nun called the priests, and said to them, “Take up the ark of the covenant, and let seven priests bear seven shofars of rams’ horns before the LORD’s ark.”
7 E disse ao povo: Passai, e rodeai a cidade; e os que estão armados passarão diante da arca do SENHOR.
They said to the people, “Advance! March around the city, and let the armed men pass on before the LORD’s ark.”
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.
It was so, that when Joshua had spoken to the people, the seven priests bearing the seven shofars of rams’ horns before the LORD advanced and blew the shofars, and the ark of the LORD’s covenant 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.
The armed men went before the priests who blew the shofars, and the ark went after them. The shofars sounded as they went.
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.
Joshua commanded the people, saying, “You shall not shout nor let your voice be heard, neither shall any word proceed out of your mouth until the day I tell you to shout. Then you shall 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 he caused the LORD’s ark to go around the city, circling it once. Then they came into the camp, and stayed in the camp.
12 E Josué se levantou de manhã, e os sacerdotes tomaram a arca do SENHOR.
Joshua rose early in the morning, and the priests took up the LORD’s ark.
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
The seven priests bearing the seven shofars of rams’ horns in front of the LORD’s ark went on continually, and blew the shofars. The armed men went in front of them. The rear guard came after the LORD’s ark. The shofars sounded as they went.
14 Assim deram outra volta à cidade o segundo dia, e voltaram ao acampamento: desta maneira fizeram por seis dias.
The second day they marched around the city once, and returned into the camp. They did this 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.
On the seventh day, they rose early at the dawning of the day, and marched around the city in the same way seven times. On this day only they marched around 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.
At the seventh time, when the priests blew the shofars, Joshua said to the people, “Shout, for the LORD has 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.
The city shall be devoted, even it and all that is in it, to the LORD. Only Rahab the prostitute shall live, she and all who are with her in the house, because she hid 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 as for you, only keep yourselves from what is devoted to destruction, lest when you have devoted it, you take of the devoted thing; so you would make the camp of Israel accursed 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.
But all the silver, gold, and vessels of bronze and iron are holy to the LORD. They shall come into the LORD’s treasury.”
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 and the priests blew the shofars. When the people heard the sound of the shofar, the people shouted with a great shout, and the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man straight in front of him, and they took 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.
They utterly destroyed all that was in the city, both man and woman, both young and old, and ox, sheep, and donkey, 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.
Joshua said to the two men who had spied out the land, “Go into the prostitute’s house, and bring the woman and all that she has out from there, as you swore to 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.
The young men who were spies went in, and brought out Rahab with her father, her mother, her brothers, and all that she had. They also brought out all of her relatives, and they set them outside of 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.
They burnt the city with fire, and all that was in it. Only they put the silver, the gold, and the vessels of bronze and of iron into the treasury of the LORD’s house.
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.
But Rahab the prostitute, her father’s household, and all that she had, Joshua saved alive. She lives in the middle of Israel to this day, because she hid the messengers whom Joshua 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.
Joshua commanded them with an oath at that time, saying, “Cursed is the man before the LORD who rises up and builds this city Jericho. With the loss of his firstborn he will lay its foundation, and with the loss of his youngest son he will set up its gates.”
27 Foi, pois, o SENHOR com Josué, e seu nome se divulgou por toda a terra.
So the LORD was with Joshua; and his fame was in all the land.
