Josué 6
1 Agora Jericó estava bem fechada por causa das crianças de Israel. Ninguém saiu, e ninguém entrou.
Meanwhile, the guards of Jericho shut the gates of the city tightly, because [they were afraid] of the Israeli [army]. No one was allowed to go into the city or go out of it.
2 Yahweh disse a Josué: “Eis que entreguei Jericó em suas mãos, com seu rei e os poderosos homens de valor.
Then Yahweh said to Joshua, “Listen [to what I say]! I am going to enable your army [SYN] to capture/conquer [MTY] Jericho and its king and its soldiers.
3 Todos os seus homens de guerra devem marchar pela cidade, contornando a cidade uma vez. Vocês farão isso seis dias.
So your army must march around the city for six days, once each day.
4 Sete sacerdotes levarão sete trombetas de chifres de carneiros diante da arca. No sétimo dia, marcharão pela cidade sete vezes, e os sacerdotes tocarão as trombetas.
Tell seven priests to march around with them. Each priest must carry a trumpet. Four other priests must carry the sacred chest, and they must walk behind the priests who are carrying the trumpets. On the seventh day, the army must march around the city seven times, and the priests must be blowing the trumpets while they march.
5 Será que quando fizerem um longo sopro com a buzina do carneiro, e quando ouvirem o som da trombeta, todo o povo gritará com um grande grito; então a muralha da cidade cairá achatada, e o povo subirá, cada homem em frente a ele”.
[After they have all marched around the city seven times], the priests must blow their trumpets [once], very loudly. When the Israeli people/soldiers hear that, they must shout loudly. Then the wall of the city will collapse, and all the Israeli people/soldiers will go straight into the city.”
6 Josué, filho de Freira, chamou os sacerdotes e disse-lhes: “Levantem a arca da aliança e deixem sete sacerdotes levar sete trombetas de chifres de carneiros diante da arca de Yahweh”.
So Joshua summoned the priests and said to them, “Tell four priests to carry the chest [that contains] the Ten Commandments that Yahweh [gave to us]. [Tell] seven [other] priests to carry trumpets and walk in front of them.”
7 Eles disseram ao povo: “Avancem! Marchem pela cidade e deixem os homens armados passar diante da arca de Yahweh”.
And Joshua told the soldiers, “Start marching! March around the city, with several soldiers with weapons marching in front. Behind them will march the seven priests with trumpets, and behind them will march the four priests carrying Yahweh’s [sacred] chest.”
8 Foi assim que, quando Josué falou ao povo, os sete sacerdotes com as sete trombetas dos cornos de carneiros antes de Javé avançaram e sopraram as trombetas, e a arca do pacto de Javé as seguiu.
After Joshua told that to the army, the seven priests, each carrying a sacred trumpet, started marching, blowing their trumpets. The four priests who were carrying Yahweh’s sacred chest followed them.
9 Os homens armados foram antes dos sacerdotes que tocaram as trombetas, e a arca foi atrás deles. As trombetas soaram enquanto eles iam.
The group of soldiers carrying weapons marched in front of the priests who were blowing their trumpets, and the rest of the soldiers followed [the four men carrying] the chest. While [they were all marching], [the seven priests] were blowing their trumpets.
10 Josué ordenou ao povo, dizendo: “Não gritarás nem deixarás que tua voz seja ouvida, nem nenhuma palavra sairá de tua boca até o dia em que eu te disser para gritares. Então você gritará”.
But [the rest of] the people [were silent, because] Joshua had commanded them, “Do not make a war cry. Do not yell or say anything until the day when I tell you to shout. On that day, you must shout [loudly]!”
11 Então ele fez com que a arca de Javé percorresse a cidade, circundando-a uma vez. Então eles entraram no acampamento, e permaneceram no acampamento.
So the men carrying Yahweh’s sacred chest and all the others did what Joshua told them to do. They marched around the city once. Then they all returned to their camp and stayed there that night.
12 Josué levantou-se de manhã cedo e os sacerdotes pegaram a arca de Iavé.
The next morning, Joshua and the priests got up early, and the four priests carried Yahweh’s sacred chest [again].
13 Os sete sacerdotes que levavam as sete trombetas de carneiros em frente à arca de Yahweh continuavam a tocar as trombetas. Os homens armados foram para a frente deles. A retaguarda veio depois da arca de Iavé. As trombetas tocaram enquanto iam.
The seven priests who were carrying trumpets went in front of [the men carrying] the chest. The seven priests were blowing their trumpets as they marched. The group of soldiers carrying weapons went in front of all the others, and the rest of the army followed all the others. All the time, the seven priests were blowing their trumpets.
14 No segundo dia, eles marcharam uma vez pela cidade e voltaram ao acampamento. Eles fizeram isso seis dias.
So on that second day they again marched around the city once and then returned to their camp. They did the same thing for six days.
15 No sétimo dia, eles se levantaram cedo ao amanhecer do dia, e marcharam pela cidade da mesma forma sete vezes. Neste dia, apenas marcharam pela cidade sete vezes.
On the seventh day, they got up at dawn, and they all marched around the city the same way that they had done before, but this time they marched around the city seven times.
16 Na sétima vez, quando os sacerdotes tocaram as trombetas, Josué disse ao povo: “Grite, pois Javé lhe deu a cidade!
As they were marching around the seventh time, when the priests were about to blow the long/loud blast on their trumpets, Joshua commanded the people, “Shout, because Yahweh will enable you to capture the city!
17 A cidade será dedicada, mesmo ela e tudo o que há nela, a Yahweh. Somente Rahab, a prostituta, viverá, ela e todos que estão com ela em casa, porque escondeu os mensageiros que enviamos.
Yahweh has declared that you must destroy [IDM] the city and everything in it [to show that it belongs to him]. You must spare only Rahab the prostitute and the others who are in her house, because she hid the spies whom we sent there.
18 Mas, quanto a vocês, apenas se afastem do que é devotado à destruição, para que, quando o tiverem devotado, não tomem do que é devotado; assim fariam o acampamento de Israel amaldiçoado e o perturbariam.
And because Yahweh has declared that everything must be destroyed [IDM], you must not take [EUP] any of the things in the city. If you take anything, you will cause Yahweh to destroy our own camp and cause terrible things to happen to us.
19 Mas toda a prata, ouro e vasos de bronze e ferro são sagrados para Iavé. Eles entrarão na tesouraria de Iavé”.
But all the silver and gold and articles made from iron and bronze that you find, you must set apart for Yahweh. You must put those things in his treasury.”
20 Então o povo gritou e os padres sopraram as trombetas. Quando o povo ouviu o som da trombeta, o povo gritou com um grande grito, e o muro caiu por terra, de modo que o povo subiu na cidade, todos os homens em frente a ele, e tomaram a cidade.
So they did what Joshua told them to do. When the priests blew a long blast on their trumpets, the people/army shouted loudly, and the wall of the city collapsed! Then the Israeli soldiers rushed in and captured the city.
21 Eles destruíram completamente tudo o que havia na cidade, tanto homem como mulher, tanto jovem como velho, e boi, ovelha e burro, com o fio da espada.
They killed [IDM] every living thing in the city—men and women, young people and old people, even cattle and sheep and donkeys.
22 Josué disse aos dois homens que haviam espiado a terra: “Entrem na casa da prostituta e tragam a mulher e tudo o que ela tem de lá, como vocês juraram a ela”.
Then Joshua said to the two men (who had spied on/whom he had sent to learn all they could about) the land, “Go to the prostitute’s house. Bring her out, along with all her family, just as you promised to her.”
23 Os jovens que eram espiões entraram e trouxeram Rahab com seu pai, sua mãe, seus irmãos e tudo o que ela tinha. Eles também trouxeram todos os parentes dela, e os colocaram fora do campo de Israel.
So those two spies/men went into Rahab’s house and brought her out. They also brought out her father and mother and her brothers, and all the rest of her family. Joshua’s men spared Rahab the prostitute. They also did not kill all her relatives, because she had hidden and protected the spies/men whom Joshua had sent to Jericho. The two men brought them all out and put them in a place outside the camp of the Israelis. Rahab still lives among us Israeli people. Then the soldiers gathered the articles made from silver, gold, bronze, and iron that they found and they put them all into Yahweh’s treasury. But they burned everything else that was in the city.
24 Eles queimaram a cidade com fogo, e tudo o que havia nela. Somente eles colocaram a prata, o ouro e os vasos de bronze e de ferro na tesouraria da casa de Yahweh.
25 Mas Rahab, a prostituta, a casa de seu pai, e tudo o que ela tinha, Josué salvou vivo. Ela vive no meio de Israel até hoje, porque ela escondeu os mensageiros que Josué enviou para espionar Jericó.
26 Josué os comandou com um juramento naquela época, dizendo: “Maldito é o homem diante de Javé que se levanta e constrói esta cidade Jericó. Com a perda de seu primogênito, ele lançará suas bases e, com a perda de seu filho mais novo, erguerá seus portões”.
At that time, Joshua warned the people, “Yahweh will curse/punish anyone who tries to rebuild this city, Jericho. When that person lays/builds its foundation, his oldest son will die. And when he finishes building the city wall and sets up its gates, his youngest son will die.”
27 Então Yahweh estava com Josué; e sua fama estava em toda a terra.
Because of what happened that day, it was clear that Yahweh was with/helped Joshua, and Joshua became famous throughout the land.
