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 children of Israel committed a trespass on the devoted things; for 'Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerach, of the tribe of Judah, took of the devoted things: and the anger of the Lord was kindled against the children 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 Beth-el, and said unto them, thus, Go up and spy out the country. 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 unto him, Let not all the people go up; but let about two or three thousand men go up and smite 'Ai: do not fatigue all the people [to go] thither; 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 thither 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 and six men; and they chased them from before the gate unto the stone-quarries, and smote them on the declivity [of the hill]; wherefore the heart 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 rent his clothes, and fell upon his face to the earth before the ark of the Lord until the evening, he with the elders of Israel, and they put dust upon their head.
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 Eternal, wherefore hast thou caused this people to pass over the Jordan, to deliver us into the hand of the Emorites, to destroy us? and oh! that we had been content, and dwelt on the other side of the Jordan!
8 Ai Senhor! Que direi, já que Israel virou as costas diante de seus inimigos?
I pray thee, O Lord, what shall I say, since Israel have turned their back 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?
And when the Canaanites and all the inhabitants of the land will hear of it, they will environ us round, and cut off our name from the earth; and what wilt thou do for thy great name?
10 E o SENHOR disse a Josué: Levanta-te; por que te prostras assim sobre teu rosto?
And the Lord said unto Joshua, Get thee up; wherefore liest thou 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 hath sinned, and they have also transgressed my covenant which I have commanded them; and they have also taken of the devoted things, and have also stolen, and have also dissembled, and they have also put it into their own vessels.
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 will the children of Israel not be able to stand up before their enemies; their back will they turn before their enemies, because they have become accursed: I will not be any more with you, except ye destroy the accursed 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.
Rise up, sanctify the people, and say, Sanctify yourselves against tomorrow; for thus hath said the Lord the God of Israel, An accursed thing is in the midst of thee, O Israel: thou shalt not be able to stand up before thy enemies, until ye have removed the accursed 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;
And ye shall be brought near in the morning according to your tribes: and it shall be, that the tribe which the Lord will seize shall come near according to its families; and the family which the Lord will seize shall come near by households; and the household which the Lord shall seize will come near by its men.
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 that is seized with the accursed thing shall be burnt with fire, he, and all that he hath; because he hath transgressed the covenant of the Lord, and because he hath wrought wickedness 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 seized;
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 seized the family of the Zarchites; and he brought near the family of the Zarchites by its men, and Zabdi was seized;
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 by its men, and 'Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerach, of the tribe of Judah, was seized.
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 unto 'Achan, My son, give, I pray thee, glory to the Lord, the God of Israel, and make confession unto him; and tell me, I pray thee, what thou hast done: hide nothing 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, Truly! I have indeed sinned against the Lord 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.
I saw among the spoil a handsome Babylonish mantle, and two hundred shekels of silver, and a wedge of gold of fifty shekels in weight, and I coveted them, and took them; and, behold, they are hidden in the earth in the midst of my tent, with the silver beneath the same.
22 Josué então enviou mensageiros, os quais foram correndo à tenda; e eis que estava escondido em sua tenda, e o dinheiro debaixo disso:
Joshua thereupon sent messengers, and they ran unto the tent; and, behold, it was hidden in his tent, and the silver beneath 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 out of the midst of the tent, and brought them unto Joshua, and unto all the children of Israel, and they laid them out before the Lord.
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 took 'Achan the son of Zerach, and the silver, and the mantle, and the wedge of gold, and his sons, and his daughters, and his ox, and his ass, and his sheep, and his tent, and all that he had, and all Israel were with him, and they brought them up unto 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, How hast thou troubled us! so shall the Lord trouble thee this day. And all Israel stoned him with stones, and burnt them with fire, after they had 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 [which is] unto this day; and the Lord turned from the fierceness of his anger. Wherefore the name of that place was called, The valley of 'Achor, unto this day.
