Josué 6

1Ora Jericó estava rigorosamente fechada por causa dos filhos de Israel; ninguém saía nem entrava.

1Now Jericho was straitly shut up because of the children of Israel: none went out, and none came in. {was...: Heb. did shut up, and was shut up}

2Então disse o Senhor a Josué: Olha, tenho dado na tua mão a Jericó, ao seu rei e aos seus homens valorosos.

2And the LORD said unto Joshua, See, I have given into thine hand Jericho, and the king thereof, {and} the mighty men of valour.

3Vós, pois, todos os homens de guerra, rodeareis a cidade, cercando-a uma vez; assim fareis por seis dias.

3And ye shall compass the city, all {ye} men of war, {and} go round about the city once. Thus shalt thou do six days.

4E sete sacerdotes levarão sete buzinas de chifres de carneiros adiante da arca, e no sétimo dia rodeareis a cidade sete vezes, e os sacerdotes tocarão as buzinas.

4And seven priests shall bear before the ark seven trumpets of rams' horns: and the seventh day ye shall compass the city seven times, and the priests shall blow with the trumpets.

5E será que, tocando-se prolongadamente a buzina de carneiro, ouvindo vós o seu sonido, todo o povo gritará com grande brado; e o muro da cidade cairá abaixo, e o povo subirá por ele, cada um em frente.

5And it shall come to pass, that when they make a long {blast} with the ram's horn, {and} when ye hear the sound of the trumpet, all the people shall shout with a great shout; and the wall of the city shall fall down flat, and the people shall ascend up every man straight before him. {flat: Heb. under it}

6Então Josué, filho de Num, chamou aos sacerdotes e disse-lhes: Levai a arca da aliança; e sete sacerdotes levem sete buzinas de chifres de carneiros, adiante da arca do Senhor.

6And Joshua the son of Nun called the priests, and said unto them, Take up the ark of the covenant, and let seven priests bear seven trumpets of rams' horns before the ark of the LORD.

7E disse ao povo: Passai e rodeai a cidade; e quem estiver armado, passe adiante da arca do Senhor.

7And he said unto the people, Pass on, and compass the city, and let him that is armed pass on before the ark of the LORD.

8E assim foi que, como Josué dissera ao povo, os sete sacerdotes, levando as sete buzinas de carneiros diante do Senhor, passaram e tocaram as buzinas; e a arca da aliança do Senhor os seguia.

8And it came to pass, when Joshua had spoken unto the people, that the seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams' horns passed on before the LORD, and blew with the trumpets: and the ark of the covenant of the LORD followed them.

9E os homens armados iam adiante dos sacerdotes, que tocavam as buzinas; e a retaguarda seguia após a arca; andando e tocando as buzinas iam os sacerdotes.

9And the armed men went before the priests that blew with the trumpets, and the rereward came after the ark, {the priests} going on, and blowing with the trumpets. {rereward: Heb. gathering host}

10Porém ao povo Josué tinha dado ordem, dizendo: Não gritareis, nem fareis ouvir a vossa voz, nem sairá palavra alguma da vossa boca até ao dia que eu vos diga: Gritai. Então gritareis.

10And Joshua had commanded the people, saying, Ye shall not shout, nor make any noise with your voice, neither shall {any} word proceed out of your mouth, until the day I bid you shout; then shall ye shout. {any noise...: Heb. your voice to be heard}

11E fez a arca do Senhor rodear a cidade, contornando-a uma vez; e entraram no arraial, e ali passaram a noite.

11So the ark of the LORD compassed the city, going about {it} once: and they came into the camp, and lodged in the camp.

12Depois Josué se levantou de madrugada, e os sacerdotes levaram a arca do Senhor.

12And Joshua rose early in the morning, and the priests took up the ark of the LORD.

13E os sete sacerdotes, que levavam as sete buzinas de chifres de carneiros, adiante da arca do Senhor, iam andando, e tocavam as buzinas, e os homens armados iam adiante deles e a retaguarda seguia atrás da arca do Senhor; os sacerdotes iam andando e tocando as buzinas.

13And seven priests bearing seven trumpets of rams' horns before the ark of the LORD went on continually, and blew with the trumpets: and the armed men went before them; but the rereward came after the ark of the LORD, {the priests} going on, and blowing with the trumpets.

14Assim rodearam outra vez a cidade no segundo dia e voltaram para o arraial; e assim fizeram seis dias.

14And the second day they compassed the city once, and returned into the camp: so they did six days.

15E sucedeu que, ao sétimo dia, madrugaram ao subir da alva, e da mesma maneira rodearam a cidade sete vezes; naquele dia somente rodearam a cidade sete vezes.

15And it came to pass on the seventh day, that they rose early about the dawning of the day, and compassed the city after the same manner seven times: only on that day they compassed the city seven times.

16E sucedeu que, tocando os sacerdotes pela sétima vez as buzinas, disse Josué ao povo: Gritai, porque o Senhor vos tem dado a cidade.

16And it came to pass at the seventh time, when the priests blew with the trumpets, Joshua said unto the people, Shout; for the LORD hath given you the city.

17Porém a cidade será anátema ao Senhor, ela e tudo quanto houver nela; somente a prostituta Raabe viverá; ela e todos os que com ela estiverem em casa; porquanto escondeu os mensageiros que enviamos.

17And the city shall be accursed, {even} it, and all that {are} therein, to the LORD: only Rahab the harlot shall live, she and all that {are} with her in the house, because she hid the messengers that we sent. {accursed: or, devoted}

18Tão-somente guardai-vos do anátema, para que não toqueis nem tomeis alguma coisa dele, e assim façais maldito o arraial de Israel, e o perturbeis.

18And ye, in any wise keep {yourselves} from the accursed thing, lest ye make {yourselves} accursed, when ye take of the accursed thing, and make the camp of Israel a curse, and trouble it. {accursed: or, devoted} {a curse: or, devoted}

19Porém toda a prata, e o ouro, e os vasos de metal, e de ferro são consagrados ao Senhor; irão ao tesouro do Senhor.

19But all the silver, and gold, and vessels of brass and iron, {are} consecrated unto the LORD: they shall come into the treasury of the LORD. {consecrated: Heb. holiness}

20Gritou, pois, o povo, tocando os sacerdotes as buzinas; e sucedeu que, ouvindo o povo o sonido da buzina, gritou o povo com grande brado; e o muro caiu abaixo, e o povo subiu à cidade, cada um em frente de si, e tomaram a cidade.

20So the people shouted when {the priests} blew with the trumpets: and it came to pass, when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, and the people shouted with a great shout, that the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they took the city. {flat: Heb. under it}

21E tudo quanto havia na cidade destruíram totalmente ao fio da espada, desde o homem até à mulher, desde o menino até ao velho, e até ao boi e gado miúdo, e ao jumento.

21And they utterly destroyed all that {was} in the city, both man and woman, young and old, and ox, and sheep, and ass, with the edge of the sword.

22Josué, porém, disse aos dois homens que tinham espiado a terra: Entrai na casa da mulher prostituta, e tirai-a de lá com tudo quanto tiver, como lhe tendes jurado.

22But Joshua had said unto the two men that had spied out the country, Go into the harlot's house, and bring out thence the woman, and all that she hath, as ye sware unto her.

23Então entraram os jovens espias, e tiraram a Raabe e a seu pai, e a sua mãe, e a seus irmãos, e a tudo quanto tinha; tiraram também a toda a sua parentela, e os puseram fora do arraial de Israel.

23And the young men that were spies went in, and brought out Rahab, and her father, and her mother, and her brethren, and all that she had; and they brought out all her kindred, and left them without the camp of Israel. {kindred: Heb. families}

24Porém a cidade e tudo quanto havia nela queimaram a fogo; tão-somente a prata, e o ouro, e os vasos de metal e de ferro, deram para o tesouro da casa do Senhor.

24And they burnt the city with fire, and all that {was} therein: only the silver, and the gold, and the vessels of brass and of iron, they put into the treasury of the house of the LORD.

25Assim deu Josué vida à prostituta Raabe e à família de seu pai, e a tudo quanto tinha; e habitou no meio de Israel até ao dia de hoje; porquanto escondera os mensageiros que Josué tinha enviado a espiar a Jericó.

25And Joshua saved Rahab the harlot alive, and her father's household, and all that she had; and she dwelleth in Israel {even} unto this day; because she hid the messengers, which Joshua sent to spy out Jericho.

26E naquele tempo Josué os esconjurou, dizendo: Maldito diante do Senhor seja o homem que se levantar e reedificar esta cidade de Jericó; sobre seu primogênito a fundará, e sobre o seu filho mais novo lhe porá as portas.

26And Joshua adjured {them} at that time, saying, Cursed {be} the man before the LORD, that riseth up and buildeth this city Jericho: he shall lay the foundation thereof in his firstborn, and in his youngest {son} shall he set up the gates of it.

27Assim era o Senhor com Josué; e corria a sua fama por toda a terra.

27So the LORD was with Joshua; and his fame was {noised} throughout all the country.
