Josué 7
1 Porém os filhos de Israel cometeram transgressão no anátema: porque Acã, filho de Carmi, filho de Zabdi, filho de zerá, da tribo de Judá, tomou do anátema; e a ira do SENHOR se acendeu contra os filhos de Israel.
But the sons of Israel committed a trespass in what was set apart. For Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took from what was set apart, and the anger of Jehovah was kindled against the sons of Israel.
2 E Josué enviou homens desde Jericó a Ai, que estava junto a Bete-Áven até o oriente de Betel; e falou-lhes dizendo: Subi, e reconhecei a terra. E eles subiram, e reconheceram a Ai.
And Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai, which is beside Beth-aven, on the east side of Bethel, and spoke to them, saying, Go up and spy out the land. And the men went up and spied out Ai.
3 E voltando a Josué, disseram-lhe: Não suba todo aquele povo, mas subam como dois mil ou como três mil homens, e tomarão a Ai: não canses a todo aquele povo ali, porque são poucos.
And they returned to Joshua, and said to him, Let not all the people go up, but let about two or three thousand men go up and smite Ai. Do not make all the people to toil there, for they are but few.
4 E subiram ali do povo como três mil homens, os quais fugiram diante dos de Ai.
So there went up there of the people about three thousand men. And they fled before the men of Ai.
5 E os de Ai feriram deles como trinta e seis homens, e seguiram-nos desde a porta até Sebarim, e os feriram na descida: pelo que se dissolveu o coração do povo, e veio a ser como água.
And the men of Ai smote of them about thirty-six men. And they chased them from before the gate even to Shebarim, and smote them at the descent. And the hearts of the people melted, and became as water.
6 Então Josué rasgou suas roupas, e prostrou-se em terra sobre seu rosto diante da arca do SENHOR até à tarde, ele e os anciãos de Israel; e lançaram pó sobre suas cabeças.
And Joshua tore his clothes, and fell to the earth upon his face before the ark of Jehovah until the evening, he and the elders of Israel, and they put dust upon their heads.
7 E Josué disse: Ah, Senhor DEUS! Por que fizeste passar a este povo o Jordão, para entregar-nos nas mãos dos amorreus, que nos destruam? Antes nos tivéssemos ficado da outra parte do Jordão!
And Joshua said, Alas, O lord Jehovah, why have thou at all brought this people over the Jordan, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to cause us to perish? Would that we had been content and dwelt beyond the Jordan!
8 Ai Senhor! Que direi, já que Israel virou as costas diante de seus inimigos?
Oh, Lord, what shall I say after Israel has turned their backs before their enemies!
9 Porque os cananeus e todos os moradores da terra ouvirão, e nos cercarão, e apagarão nosso nome de sobre a terra: então que farás tu a teu grande nome?
For the Canaanites and all the inhabitants of the land will hear of it, and will encompass us around, and cut off our name from the earth, and what will thou do for thy great name?
10 E o SENHOR disse a Josué: Levanta-te; por que te prostras assim sobre teu rosto?
And Jehovah said to Joshua, Get thee up. Why are thou thus fallen upon thy face?
11 Israel pecou, e ainda quebrantou meu pacto que eu lhes havia mandado; pois ainda tomaram do anátema, e até furtaram, e também mentiram, e ainda o guardaram entre seus utensílios.
Israel has sinned. Yes, they have even transgressed my covenant which I commanded them. Yes, they have even taken from what was set apart, and have also stolen, and also dissembled. And they have even put it among their own stuff.
12 Por isto os filhos de Israel não poderão estar diante de seus inimigos, mas sim que diante de seus inimigos virarão as costas; porquanto vieram a ser anátema: nem serei mais convosco, se não destruirdes o anátema do meio de vós.
Therefore the sons of Israel cannot stand before their enemies. They turn their backs before their enemies because they have become accursed. I will not be with you any more unless ye destroy what was set apart from among you.
13 Levanta-te, santifica ao povo, e dize: Santificai-vos para amanhã, porque o SENHOR o Deus de Israel diz assim: Anátema há em meio de ti, Israel; não poderás estar diante de teus inimigos, até tanto que tenhais tirado o anátema do meio de vós.
Up, sanctify the people, and say, Sanctify yourselves against tomorrow. For thus says Jehovah, the God of Israel, There is what has been set apart in the midst of thee, O Israel. Thou cannot stand before thine enemies until ye take away the devoted thing from among you.
14 Vós vos achegareis, pois, amanhã por vossas tribos; e a tribo que o SENHOR tomar, se achegará por suas famílias; e a família que o SENHOR tomar, se achegará por suas casas; e a casa que o SENHOR tomar, se achegará pelos homens;
In the morning therefore ye shall be brought near by your tribes, and it shall be, that the tribe which Jehovah takes shall come near by families, and the family which Jehovah shall take shall come near by households, and the household which Jehovah shall take shall come near man by man.
15 E o que for colhido no anátema, será queimado a fogo, ele e tudo o que tem, porquanto quebrantou o pacto do SENHOR, e cometeu maldade em Israel.
And it shall be, that he who is taken with the devoted thing shall be burnt with fire, he and all that he has, because he has transgressed the covenant of Jehovah, and because he has wrought folly in Israel.
16 Josué, pois, levantando-se de manhã, fez achegar a Israel por suas tribos; e foi tomada a tribo de Judá;
So Joshua rose up early in the morning, and brought Israel near by their tribes, and the tribe of Judah was taken.
17 E fazendo achegar a tribo de Judá, foi tomada a família dos de Zerá; fazendo logo achegar a família dos de Zerá pelos homens, foi tomado Zabdi;
And he brought near the family of Judah, and he took the family of the Zerahites. And he brought near the family of the Zerahites man by man, and Zabdi was taken.
18 E fez achegar sua casa pelos homens, e foi tomado Acã, filho de Carmi, filho de Zabdi, filho de zerá, da tribo de Judá.
And he brought near his household man by man, and Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, was taken.
19 Então Josué disse a Acã: Filho meu, dá glória agora ao SENHOR o Deus de Israel, e dá-lhe louvor, e declara-me agora o que fizeste; não me o encubras.
And Joshua said to Achan, My son, give, I pray thee, glory to Jehovah, the God of Israel, and make confession to him, and tell me now what thou have done. Hide it not from me.
20 E Acã respondeu a Josué, dizendo: Verdadeiramente eu pequei contra o SENHOR o Deus de Israel, e fiz assim e assim:
And Achan answered Joshua, and said, Of a truth I have sinned against Jehovah, the God of Israel, and thus and thus have I done:
21 Que vi entre os despojos um manto babilônico muito bom, e duzentos siclos de prata, e uma barra de ouro de peso de cinquenta siclos; o qual cobicei, e tomei: e eis que está escondido debaixo da terra no meio de minha tenda, e o dinheiro debaixo dele.
When I saw among the spoil a goodly Babylonian mantle, and two hundred shekels of silver, and a wedge of gold of fifty shekels weight, then I coveted them, and took them. And, behold, they are hid in the ground in the midst of my tent, and the silver under it.
22 Josué então enviou mensageiros, os quais foram correndo à tenda; e eis que estava escondido em sua tenda, e o dinheiro debaixo disso:
So Joshua sent messengers, and they ran to the tent. And, behold, it was hid in his tent, and the silver under it.
23 E tomando-o do meio da tenda, trouxeram-no a Josué e a todos os filhos de Israel, e puseram-no diante do SENHOR.
And they took them from the midst of the tent, and brought them to Joshua, and to all the sons of Israel, and they laid them down before Jehovah.
24 Então Josué, e todo Israel com ele, tomou a Acã filho de zerá, e o dinheiro, e o manto, e a barra de ouro, e seus filhos, e suas filhas, e seus bois, e seus asnos, e suas ovelhas, e sua tenda, e tudo quanto tinha, e levaram-no tudo ao vale de Acor;
And Joshua, and all Israel with him, took Achan the son of Zerah, and the silver, and the mantle, and the wedge of gold, and his sons, and his daughters, and his oxen, and his donkeys, and his sheep, and his tent, and all that he had, and they brought them up to the valley of Achor.
25 E disse Josué: Por que nos perturbaste? Perturbe-te o SENHOR neste dia. E todos os israelitas os apedrejaram, e os queimaram a fogo, depois de apedrejá-los com pedras;
And Joshua said, Why have thou troubled us? Jehovah shall trouble thee this day. And all Israel stoned him with stones, and they burned them with fire, and stoned them with stones.
26 E levantaram sobre ele um grande amontoado de pedras, até hoje. E o SENHOR se apaziguou da ira de seu furor. E por isto foi chamado aquele lugar o Vale de Acor, até hoje.
And they raised over him a great heap of stones, to this day, and Jehovah turned from the fierceness of his anger. Therefore the name of that place was called the valley of Achor to this day.
