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 Emorites, who were on the side of the Jordan westward, and all the kings of the Canaanites, who were by the sea, heard that the Lord had dried up the waters of the Jordan from before the children of Israel, until they were passed over, that their heart melted, and there remained no more any courage 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 unto Joshua, Make thee 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 himself sharp knives, and circumcised the children of Israel at the hill of '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 cause why Joshua did circumcise: All the people that came out of Egypt, the males, all the men of war, died in the wilderness on the way, after their going forth 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.
For all the people that came out were circumcised; but all the people that were born in the wilderness on the way at their going forth out of Egypt, 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 during forty years the children of Israel wandered in the wilderness, till there was an end of all the people, the men of war, who were come out of Egypt, who had not obeyed the voice of the Lord; unto whom the Lord had sworn that he would not let them see the land, which the Lord had sworn unto their fathers that he would give unto 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.
But their children he raised up in their stead: these did Joshua circumcise; for they were uncircumcised, because they had not circumcised them on 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 the whole people had all been circumcised, that they abode in their places in the camp till they were healed.
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 unto Joshua, This day have I rolled away the reproach of Egypt from off you. And he called the name of the place Gilgal unto 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 they prepared the passover-offering on the fourteenth day of the month at evening 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 ate of the corn of the land on the morrow after the passover-offering, unleavened cakes and parched corn, on 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 corn of the land; and the children of Israel had not any more manna; but they did eat of the product of the land of Canaan during 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, a man was standing over against him with his sword drawn in his hand; and Joshua went unto him, and said to him, Art thou 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; for I am a captain of the host of the Lord: now am I come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and bowed himself, and said to him, What doth my lord speak unto 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 unto Joshua, Put off thy shoe from off thy foot; for the place whereon thou standest is holy. And Joshua did so.
