Josué 10

1E sucedeu que, ouvindo Adoni-Zedeque, rei de Jerusalém, que Josué tomara a Ai, e a tinha destruído totalmente, e fizera a Ai, e ao seu rei, como tinha feito a Jericó e ao seu rei, e que os moradores de Gibeom fizeram paz com os israelitas, e estavam no meio deles,

1Now it came to pass, when Adonizedek king of Jerusalem had heard how Joshua had taken Ai, and had utterly destroyed it; as he had done to Jericho and her king, so he had done to Ai and her king; and how the inhabitants of Gibeon had made peace with Israel, and were among them;

2Temeram muito, porque Gibeom era uma cidade grande, como uma das cidades reais, e ainda maior do que Ai, e todos os seus homens valentes.

2That they feared greatly, because Gibeon {was} a great city, as one of the royal cities, and because it {was} greater than Ai, and all the men thereof {were} mighty. {royal...: Heb. cities of the kingdom}

3Pelo que Adoni-Zedeque, rei de Jerusalém, enviou a Hoão, rei de Hebrom, e a Pirão, rei de Jarmute, e a Jafia, rei de Laquis e a Debir, rei de Eglom, dizendo:

3Wherefore Adonizedek king of Jerusalem sent unto Hoham king of Hebron, and unto Piram king of Jarmuth, and unto Japhia king of Lachish, and unto Debir king of Eglon, saying,

4Subi a mim, e ajudai-me, e firamos a Gibeom, porquanto fez paz com Josué e com os filhos de Israel.

4Come up unto me, and help me, that we may smite Gibeon: for it hath made peace with Joshua and with the children of Israel.

5Então se ajuntaram, e subiram cinco reis dos amorreus, o rei de Jerusalém, o rei de Hebrom, o rei de Jarmute, o rei de Laquis, o rei de Eglom, eles e todos os seus exércitos; e sitiaram a Gibeom e pelejaram contra ela.

5Therefore the five kings of the Amorites, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, the king of Eglon, gathered themselves together, and went up, they and all their hosts, and encamped before Gibeon, and made war against it.

6Enviaram, pois, os homens de Gibeom a Josué, ao arraial de Gilgal, dizendo: Não retires as tuas mãos de teus servos; sobe apressadamente a nós, e livra-nos e ajuda-nos, porquanto todos os reis dos amorreus, que habitam na montanha, se ajuntaram contra nós.

6And the men of Gibeon sent unto Joshua to the camp to Gilgal, saying, Slack not thy hand from thy servants; come up to us quickly, and save us, and help us: for all the kings of the Amorites that dwell in the mountains are gathered together against us.

7Então subiu Josué, de Gilgal, ele e toda a gente de guerra com ele, e todos os homens valorosos.

7So Joshua ascended from Gilgal, he, and all the people of war with him, and all the mighty men of valour.

8E o Senhor disse a Josué: Não os temas, porque os tenho dado na tua mão; nenhum deles te poderá resistir.

8And the LORD said unto Joshua, Fear them not: for I have delivered them into thine hand; there shall not a man of them stand before thee.

9E Josué lhes sobreveio de repente, porque toda a noite veio subindo desde Gilgal.

9Joshua therefore came unto them suddenly, {and} went up from Gilgal all night.

10E o Senhor os conturbou diante de Israel, e os feriu com grande matança em Gibeom; e perseguiu-os pelo caminho que sobe a Bete-Horom, e feriu-os até Azeca e a Maquedá.

10And the LORD discomfited them before Israel, and slew them with a great slaughter at Gibeon, and chased them along the way that goeth up to Bethhoron, and smote them to Azekah, and unto Makkedah.

11E sucedeu que fugindo eles de diante de Israel, à descida de Bete-Horom, o Senhor lançou sobre eles, do céu, grandes pedras, até Azeca, e morreram; e foram muitos mais os que morreram das pedras da saraiva do que os que os filhos de Israel mataram à espada.

11And it came to pass, as they fled from before Israel, {and} were in the going down to Bethhoron, that the LORD cast down great stones from heaven upon them unto Azekah, and they died: {they were} more which died with hailstones than {they} whom the children of Israel slew with the sword.

12Então Josué falou ao Senhor, no dia em que o Senhor deu os amorreus nas mãos dos filhos de Israel, e disse na presença dos israelitas: Sol, detém-te em Gibeom, e tu, lua, no vale de Ajalom.

12Then spake Joshua to the LORD in the day when the LORD delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon; and thou, Moon, in the valley of Ajalon. {stand...: Heb. be silent}

13E o sol se deteve, e a lua parou, até que o povo se vingou de seus inimigos. Isto não está escrito no livro de Jasher? O sol, pois, se deteve no meio do céu, e não se apressou a pôr-se, quase um dia inteiro.

13And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. {Is} not this written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day. {Jasher: or, the upright?}

14E não houve dia semelhante a este, nem antes nem depois dele, ouvindo o Senhor assim a voz de um homem; porque o Senhor pelejava por Israel.

14And there was no day like that before it or after it, that the LORD hearkened unto the voice of a man: for the LORD fought for Israel.

15E voltou Josué, e todo o Israel com ele, ao arraial, em Gilgal.

15And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, unto the camp to Gilgal.

16Aqueles cinco reis, porém, fugiram, e se esconderam numa cova em Maquedá.

16But these five kings fled, and hid themselves in a cave at Makkedah.

17E foi anunciado a Josué, dizendo: Acharam-se os cinco reis escondidos numa cova em Maquedá.

17And it was told Joshua, saying, The five kings are found hid in a cave at Makkedah.

18Disse, pois, Josué: Arrastai grandes pedras à boca da cova, e ponde sobre ela homens que os guardem;

18And Joshua said, Roll great stones upon the mouth of the cave, and set men by it for to keep them:

19Porém vós não vos detenhais; persegui os vossos inimigos, e atacai os que vão ficando atrás; não os deixeis entrar nas suas cidades, porque o Senhor vosso Deus já vo-los deu na vossa mão.

19And stay ye not, {but} pursue after your enemies, and smite the hindmost of them; suffer them not to enter into their cities: for the LORD your God hath delivered them into your hand. {smite...: Heb. cut off the tail}

20E sucedeu que, acabando Josué e os filhos de Israel de os ferir com grande matança, até consumi-los, e os que ficaram deles se retiraram às cidades fortificadas,

20And it came to pass, when Joshua and the children of Israel had made an end of slaying them with a very great slaughter, till they were consumed, that the rest {which} remained of them entered into fenced cities.

21Todo o povo voltou em paz a Josué, ao arraial em Maquedá; não havendo ninguém que movesse a sua língua contra os filhos de Israel.

21And all the people returned to the camp to Joshua at Makkedah in peace: none moved his tongue against any of the children of Israel.

22Depois disse Josué: Abri a boca da cova, e trazei-me para fora aqueles cinco reis.

22Then said Joshua, Open the mouth of the cave, and bring out those five kings unto me out of the cave.

23Fizeram, pois, assim, e trouxeram-lhe aqueles cinco reis para fora da cova: o rei de Jerusalém, o rei de Hebrom, o rei de Jarmute, o rei de Laquis e o rei de Eglom.

23And they did so, and brought forth those five kings unto him out of the cave, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, {and} the king of Eglon.

24E sucedeu que, trazendo aqueles reis a Josué, este chamou todos os homens de Israel, e disse aos capitães dos homens de guerra, que foram com ele: Chegai, ponde os vossos pés sobre os pescoços destes reis. E chegaram, e puseram os seus pés sobre os pescoços deles.

24And it came to pass, when they brought out those kings unto Joshua, that Joshua called for all the men of Israel, and said unto the captains of the men of war which went with him, Come near, put your feet upon the necks of these kings. And they came near, and put their feet upon the necks of them.

25Então Josué lhes disse: Não temais, nem vos espanteis; esforçai-vos e animai-vos; porque assim o fará o Senhor a todos os vossos inimigos, contra os quais pelejardes.

25And Joshua said unto them, Fear not, nor be dismayed, be strong and of good courage: for thus shall the LORD do to all your enemies against whom ye fight.

26E, depois disto, Josué os feriu, e os matou, e os enforcou em cinco madeiros; e ficaram enforcados nos madeiros até à tarde.

26And afterward Joshua smote them, and slew them, and hanged them on five trees: and they were hanging upon the trees until the evening.

27E sucedeu que, ao pôr do sol, deu Josué ordem que os tirassem dos madeiros; e lançaram-nos na cova onde se esconderam; e puseram grandes pedras à boca da cova, que ainda ali estão até o dia de hoje.

27And it came to pass at the time of the going down of the sun, {that} Joshua commanded, and they took them down off the trees, and cast them into the cave wherein they had been hid, and laid great stones in the cave's mouth, {which remain} until this very day.

28E naquele mesmo dia tomou Josué a Maquedá, e feriu-a a fio de espada, bem como ao seu rei; totalmente a destruiu com todos que nela havia, sem nada deixar; e fez ao rei de Maquedá como fizera ao rei de Jericó.

28And that day Joshua took Makkedah, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and the king thereof he utterly destroyed, them, and all the souls that {were} therein; he let none remain: and he did to the king of Makkedah as he did unto the king of Jericho.

29Então Josué, e todo o Israel com ele, passou de Maquedá a Libna e pelejou contra ela.

29Then Joshua passed from Makkedah, and all Israel with him, unto Libnah, and fought against Libnah:

30E também o Senhor a deu na mão de Israel, a ela e a seu rei, e a feriu a fio de espada, a ela e a todos que nela estavam; sem nada deixar; e fez ao seu rei como fizera ao rei de Jericó.

30And the LORD delivered it also, and the king thereof, into the hand of Israel; and he smote it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls that {were} therein; he let none remain in it; but did unto the king thereof as he did unto the king of Jericho.

31Então Josué, e todo o Israel com ele, passou de Libna a Laquis; e a sitiou, e pelejou contra ela;

31And Joshua passed from Libnah, and all Israel with him, unto Lachish, and encamped against it, and fought against it:

32E o Senhor deu a Laquis nas mãos de Israel, e tomou-a no dia seguinte e a feriu a fio de espada, a ela e a todos os que nela estavam, conforme a tudo o que fizera a Libna.

32And the LORD delivered Lachish into the hand of Israel, which took it on the second day, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls that {were} therein, according to all that he had done to Libnah.

33Então Horão, rei de Gezer, subiu a ajudar a Laquis, porém Josué o feriu, a ele e ao seu povo, até não lhe deixar nem sequer um.

33Then Horam king of Gezer came up to help Lachish; and Joshua smote him and his people, until he had left him none remaining.

34E Josué, e todo o Israel com ele, passou de Laquis a Eglom, e a sitiaram, e pelejaram contra ela.

34And from Lachish Joshua passed unto Eglon, and all Israel with him; and they encamped against it, and fought against it:

35E no mesmo dia a tomaram, e a feriram a fio de espada; e a todos os que nela estavam, destruiu totalmente no mesmo dia, conforme a tudo o que fizera a Laquis.

35And they took it on that day, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls that {were} therein he utterly destroyed that day, according to all that he had done to Lachish.

36Depois Josué, e todo o Israel com ele, subiu de Eglom a Hebrom, e pelejaram contra ela.

36And Joshua went up from Eglon, and all Israel with him, unto Hebron; and they fought against it:

37E a tomaram, e a feriram ao fio de espada, assim ao seu rei como a todas as suas cidades; e a todos os que nelas estavam, a ninguém deixou com vida, conforme a tudo o que fizera a Eglom; e a destruiu totalmente, a ela e a todos os que nela estavam.

37And they took it, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and the king thereof, and all the cities thereof, and all the souls that {were} therein; he left none remaining, according to all that he had done to Eglon; but destroyed it utterly, and all the souls that {were} therein.

38Então Josué, e todo o Israel com ele, tornou a Debir, e pelejou contra ela.

38And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to Debir; and fought against it:

39E tomou-a com o seu rei, e a todas as suas cidades, e as feriu a fio de espada, e a todos os que nelas estavam destruiu totalmente; nada deixou; como fizera a Hebrom, assim fez a Debir e ao seu rei, e como fizera a Libna e ao seu rei.

39And he took it, and the king thereof, and all the cities thereof; and they smote them with the edge of the sword, and utterly destroyed all the souls that {were} therein; he left none remaining: as he had done to Hebron, so he did to Debir, and to the king thereof; as he had done also to Libnah, and to her king.

40Assim feriu Josué toda aquela terra, as montanhas, o sul, e as campinas, e as descidas das águas, e a todos os seus reis; nada deixou; mas tudo o que tinha fôlego destruiu, como ordenara o Senhor Deus de Israel.

40So Joshua smote all the country of the hills, and of the south, and of the vale, and of the springs, and all their kings: he left none remaining, but utterly destroyed all that breathed, as the LORD God of Israel commanded.

41E Josué os feriu desde Cades-Barnéia, até Gaza, como também toda a terra de Gósen, e até Gibeom.

41And Joshua smote them from Kadeshbarnea even unto Gaza, and all the country of Goshen, even unto Gibeon.

42E de uma vez tomou Josué todos estes reis, e as suas terras; porquanto o Senhor Deus de Israel pelejava por Israel.

42And all these kings and their land did Joshua take at one time, because the LORD God of Israel fought for Israel.

43Então Josué, e todo o Israel com ele, voltou ao arraial em Gilgal.

43And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, unto the camp to Gilgal.
