Josué 5

1 Quando todos os reis dos amorreus, que estavam além do Jordão para o oeste, e todos os reis dos cananeus, que estavam à beira-mar, ouviram como Javé tinha secado as águas do Jordão desde antes dos filhos de Israel até nós termos atravessado, seu coração derreteu, e não havia mais espírito neles, por causa dos filhos de Israel.

Now when the news came to all the kings of the Amorites on the west side of Jordan, and all the kings of the Canaanites living by the sea, how the Lord had made the waters of Jordan dry before the children of Israel, till they had gone across, their hearts became like water, and there was no more spirit in them, because of the children of Israel.

2 Naquele tempo, Javé disse a Josué: “Faça facas de pedra, e circuncide novamente os filhos de Israel pela segunda vez”.

At that time the Lord said to Joshua, Make yourself stone knives and give the children of Israel circumcision a second time.

3 Josué se fez facas de pedra e circuncidou os filhos de Israel na colina dos prepúcios.

So Joshua made stone knives and gave the children of Israel circumcision at Gibeath-ha-araloth.

4 Esta é a razão pela qual Josué os circuncidou: todas as pessoas que saíram do Egito, que eram homens, mesmo todos os homens de guerra, morreram no deserto ao longo do caminho, depois de terem saído do Egito.

And this is the reason why Joshua did so: all the males of the people who came out of Egypt, all the fighting-men, had been overtaken by death in the waste land on the way, after they came out of Egypt.

5 Pois todas as pessoas que saíram foram circuncidadas; mas todas as pessoas que nasceram no deserto ao longo do caminho, ao saírem do Egito, não tinham sido circuncidadas.

All the people who came out had undergone circumcision; but all the people whose birth had taken place in the waste land on their journey from Egypt had not.

6 Pois as crianças de Israel caminharam quarenta anos no deserto até que toda a nação, mesmo os homens de guerra que saíram do Egito, foram consumidos, porque não ouviram a voz de Iavé. Javé jurou-lhes que não os deixaria ver a terra que Javé jurou a seus pais que nos daria, uma terra que fluiria com leite e mel.

For the children of Israel were wandering in the waste land for forty years, till all the nation, that is, all the fighting-men, who had come out of Egypt, were dead, because they did not give ear to the voice of the Lord: to whom the Lord said, with an oath, that he would not let them see the land which the Lord had given his word to their fathers to give us, a land flowing with milk and honey.

7 Seus filhos, que ele criou em seu lugar, foram circuncidados por Josué, pois eram incircuncisos, pois não os tinham circuncidado no caminho.

And their children, who came up in their place, now underwent circumcision by the hands of Joshua, not having had it before: for there had been no circumcision on the journey.

8 Quando terminaram de circuncidar toda a nação, eles permaneceram em seus lugares no acampamento até serem curados.

So when all the nation had undergone circumcision, they kept in their tents till they were well again.

9 Yahweh disse a Joshua: “Hoje eu afastei de você a reprovação do Egito”. Portanto, o nome daquele lugar foi chamado de Gilgal até hoje.

And the Lord said to Joshua, Today the shame of Egypt has been rolled away from you. So that place was named Gilgal, to this day.

10 As crianças de Israel acamparam em Gilgal. Eles guardaram a Páscoa no décimo quarto dia do mês, à noite, nas planícies de Jericó.

So the children of Israel put up their tents in Gilgal; and they kept the Passover on the fourteenth day of the month, in the evening, in the lowlands of Jericho.

11 Eles comeram bolos ázimos e grãos ressequidos dos produtos da terra no dia seguinte após a Páscoa, no mesmo dia.

And on the day after the Passover, they had for their food the produce of the land, unleavened cakes and dry grain on the same day.

12 O maná cessou no dia seguinte, depois de terem comido dos produtos da terra. Os filhos de Israel não tinham mais maná, mas comeram do fruto da terra de Canaã naquele ano.

And there was no more manna from the day after they had for their food the produce of the land; the children of Israel had manna no longer, but that year the produce of the land of Canaan was their food.

13 Quando Josué estava perto de Jericó, ele levantou os olhos e olhou, e eis que um homem estava diante dele com sua espada desembainhada na mão. Josué foi até ele e lhe disse: “Você é por nós, ou por nossos inimigos?

Now when Joshua was near Jericho, lifting up his eyes he saw a man in front of him, with his sword uncovered in his hand: and Joshua went up to him and said, Are you for us or against us?

14 Ele disse: “Não; mas eu vim agora como comandante do exército de Yahweh”. Josué caiu com o rosto em terra e adorou e lhe perguntou: “O que meu senhor diz a seu servo?

And he said, No; but I have come as captain of the armies of the Lord. Then Joshua, falling down with his face to the earth in worship, said, What has my lord to say to his servant?

15 O príncipe do exército de Yahweh disse a Josué: “Tire suas sandálias, pois o lugar em que você está é sagrado”. Josué o fez.

And the captain of the Lord's army said to Joshua, Take off your shoes from your feet, for the place where you are is holy. And Joshua did so.
