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.

And it came to pass, when all the kings of the Amorites, which were on the side of Jordan westward, and all the kings of the Canaanites, which were by the sea, heard that the LORD had dried up the waters of Jordan from before the children of Israel, until we were passed over, that their heart melted, neither was there spirit in them any more, 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 you sharp knives, and circumcise again the children of Israel the second time.

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

And Joshua made him sharp knives, and circumcised the children of Israel at the hill of the foreskins.

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 cause why Joshua did circumcise: All the people that came out of Egypt, that were males, even all the men of war, died in the wilderness by 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.

Now all the people that came out were circumcised: but all the people that were born in the wilderness by the way as they came forth out of Egypt, them they had not circumcised.

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 walked forty years in the wilderness, till all the people that were men of war, which came out of Egypt, were consumed, because they obeyed not the voice of the LORD: to whom the LORD swore that he would not show them the land, which the LORD swore to their fathers that he would give us, a land that flows 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, whom he raised up in their stead, them Joshua circumcised: for they were uncircumcised, because they had not circumcised them by the way.

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

And it came to pass, when they had done circumcising all the people, that they stayed in their places in the camp, till they were whole.

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, This day have I rolled away the reproach of Egypt from off you. Why the name of the place is called 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.

And the children of Israel encamped in Gilgal, and kept the passover on the fourteenth day of the month at even in the plains of Jericho.

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

And they did eat of the old corn of the land on the morrow after the passover, unleavened cakes, and parched corn in the selfsame 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 the manna ceased on the morrow after they had eaten of the old corn of the land; neither had the children of Israel manna any more; but they did eat of the fruit of the land of Canaan that year.

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?

And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked, and, behold, there stood a man over against him with his sword drawn in his hand: and Joshua went to him, and said to him, Are you for us, or for our adversaries?

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 as captain of the host of the LORD am I now come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and did worship, and said to him, What says my Lord 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 host said to Joshua, Loose your shoe from off your foot; for the place where on you stand is holy. And Joshua did so.
