1 Q uando Adoni-Zedeque, rei de Jerusalém, ouviu que Josué tomara a Ai, e a destruíra totalmente (pois este fizera a Ai e ao seu rei como tinha feito a Jericó e ao seu rei), e que os moradores de Gibeão tinham feito paz com os israelitas, e estavam no meio deles,

Now it came to pass, when Adoni-zedek king of Jerusalem 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;

2 t emeu muito, pois Gibeão era uma cidade grande como uma das cidades reais, e era ainda maior do que Ai, e todos os seus homens eram valorosos.

that 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.

3 P elo que Adoni-Zedeque, rei de Jerusalém, enviou mensageiros a Hoão, rei de Hebrom, a Pirã, rei de Jarmute, a Jafia, rei de Laquis, e a Debir, rei de Eglom, para lhes dizer:

Wherefore Adoni-zedek 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,

4 S ubi a mim, e ajudai-me; firamos a Gibeão, porquanto fez paz com Josué e com os filhos de Israel.

Come up unto me, and help me, and let us smite Gibeon; for it hath made peace with Joshua and with the children of Israel.

5 E ntão 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 Gibeão e pelejaram contra ela.

Therefore 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 against Gibeon, and made war against it.

6 E nviaram, pois, os homens de Gibeão a Josué, ao arraial em Gilgal, a dizer-lhe: Não retires de teus servos a tua mão; sobe apressadamente a nós, e livra-nos, e ajuda-nos, porquanto se ajuntaram contra nós todos os reis dos amorreus, que habitam na região montanhosa.

And 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 hill-country are gathered together against us.

7 J osué, pois, subiu de Gilgal com toda a gente de guerra e todos os homens valorosos.

So Joshua went up from Gilgal, he, and all the people of war with him, and all the mighty men of valor.

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

And Jehovah said unto Joshua, Fear them not: for I have delivered them into thy hands; there shall not a man of them stand before thee.

9 E Josué deu de repente sobre eles, tendo marchado a noite toda, subindo de Gilgal;

Joshua therefore came upon them suddenly; for he went up from Gilgal all the night.

10 e o Senhor os pôs em desordem diante de Israel, que os desbaratou com grande matança em Gibeão, e os perseguiu pelo caminho que sobe a Bete-Horom, ferindo-os até Azeca e Maqueda.

And Jehovah discomfited them before Israel, and he slew them with a great slaughter at Gibeon, and chased them by the way of the ascent of Beth-horon, and smote them to Azekah, and unto Makkedah.

11 P ois, quando eles iam fugindo de diante de Israel, ã descida de Bete-Horom, o Senhor lançou sobre eles, do céu, grandes pedras até Azeca, e eles morreram; e foram mais os que morreram das pedras da saraiva do que os que os filhos de Israel mataram ã espada.

And it came to pass, as they fled from before Israel, while they were at the descent of Beth-horon, that Jehovah cast down great stones from heaven upon them unto Azekah, and they died: they were more who died with the hailstones than they whom the children of Israel slew with the sword.

12 E ntão Josué falou ao Senhor, no dia em que o Senhor entregou os amorreus na mão dos filhos de Israel, e disse na presença de Israel: Sol, detém-se sobre Gibeão, e tu, lua, sobre o vale de Aijalom.

Then spake Joshua to Jehovah in the day when Jehovah 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 Aijalon.

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

And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, Until the nation had avenged themselves of their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jashar? And the sun stayed in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day.

14 E não houve dia semelhante a esse, nem antes nem depois dele, atendendo o Senhor assim ã voz dum homem; pois o Senhor pelejava por Israel.

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

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

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

16 A queles cinco reis, porém, fugiram e se esconderam na caverna que há em Maqueda.

And these five kings fled, and hid themselves in the cave at Makkedah.

17 E isto foi anunciado a Josué nestas palavras: Acharam-se os cinco reis escondidos na caverna em Maqueda.

And it was told Joshua, saying, The five kings are found, hidden in the cave at Makkedah.

18 D isse, pois, Josué: Arrastai grandes pedras para a boca da caverna, e junto a ela ponde homens que os guardem.

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

19 V ós, porém, não vos detenhais; persegui os vossos inimigos, matando os que vão ficando atrás; não os deixeis entrar nas suas cidades, porque o Senhor vosso Deus já vo-los entregou nas mãos.

but stay not ye; pursue after your enemies, and smite the hindmost of them; suffer them not to enter into their cities: for Jehovah your God hath delivered them into your hand.

20 Q uando Josué e os filhos de Israel acabaram de os ferir com mui grande matança, até serem eles exterminados, e os que ficaram deles se retiraram

And 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, and the remnant which remained of them had entered into the fortified cities,

21 t odo o povo voltou em paz a Josué, ao arraial em Maqueda. Não havia ninguém que movesse a sua língua contra os filhos de Israel.

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

22 D epois disse Josué: Abri a boca da caverna, e trazei-me para fora aqueles cinco reis.

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

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

And 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, the king of Eglon.

24 Q uando os trouxeram a Josué, este chamou todos os homens de Israel, e disse aos comandantes dos homens de guerra que o haviam acompanhado: Chegai-vos, ponde os pés sobre os pescoços destes reis. E eles se chegaram e puseram os pés sobre os pescoços deles.

And it came to pass, when they brought forth those kings unto Joshua, that Joshua called for all the men of Israel, and said unto the chiefs of the men of war that 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.

25 E ntão Josué lhes disse: Não temais, nem vos atemorizeis; esforçai-vos e tende bom ânimo, porque assim fará o Senhor a todos os vossos inimigos, contra os quais haveis de pelejar.

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

26 D epois disto Josué os feriu, e os matou, e os pendurou em cinco madeiros, onde ficaram pendurados até a tarde.

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

27 A o pôr do sol, por ordem de Josué, tiraram-nos dos madeiros, lançaram-nos na caverna em que se haviam escondido, e puseram ã boca da mesma grandes pedras, que ainda ali estão até o dia de hoje.

And 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 hidden themselves, and laid great stones on the mouth of the cave, unto this very day.

28 N aquele mesmo dia Josué tomou a Maqueda, e feriu-a a fio de espada, bem como a seu rei; totalmente os destruiu com todos os que nela havia, sem deixar ali nem sequer um. Fez, pois, ao rei de Maqueda como fizera ao rei de Jericó.

And Joshua took Makkedah on that day, 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 left none remaining; and he did to the king of Makkedah as he had done unto the king of Jericho.

29 D e Maqueda, Josué, e todo o Israel com ele, passou a Libna, e pelejou contra ela.

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

30 E a esta também, e a seu rei, o Senhor entregou na mão de Israel, que a feriu a fio de espada com todos os que nela havia, sem deixar ali nem sequer um. Fez, pois, ao seu rei como fizera ao rei de Jericó.

and Jehovah 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 left none remaining in it; and he did unto the king thereof as he had done unto the king of Jericho.

31 D e Libna, Josué, e todo o Israel com ele, passou a Laquis, e a sitiou, e pelejou contra ela.

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

32 O Senhor entregou também a Laquis na mão de Israel, que a tomou no segundo dia, e a feriu a fio de espada com todos os que nela havia, conforme tudo o que fizera a Libna.

and Jehovah delivered Lachish into the hand of Israel; and he 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.

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

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

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

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

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

and 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.

36 D e Eglom, Josué, e todo o Israel com ele, subiu a Hebrom; pelejaram contra ela,

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

37 t omaram-na, e a feriram ao fio da espada, bem como ao seu rei, e a todas as suas cidades, com todos os que nelas havia. A ninguém deixou com vida, mas, conforme tudo o que fizera a Eglom, a destruiu totalmente, com todos os que nela havia.

and 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 he utterly destroyed it, and all the souls that were therein.

38 E ntão Josué, e todo o Israel com ele, voltou a Debir, pelejou contra ela,

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

39 e a tomou com o seu rei e com todas as suas cidades; feriu-as a fio de espada, e a todos os que nelas havia destruiu totalmente, não deixando nem sequer um. Como fizera a Hebrom, e como fizera também a Libna e ao seu rei, assim fez a Debir e ao seu rei.

and 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 the king thereof.

40 A ssim feriu Josué toda aquela terra, a região montanhosa, o Negebe, a baixada, e as faldas das montanhas, e a todos os seus reis. Não deixou nem sequer um; mas a tudo o que tinha fôlego destruiu totalmente, como ordenara o Senhor, o Deus de Israel:

So Joshua smote all the land, the hill-country, and the South, and the lowland, and the slopes, and all their kings: he left none remaining, but he utterly destroyed all that breathed, as Jehovah, the God of Israel, commanded.

41 A ssim Josué os feriu desde Cades-Barnéia até Gaza, como também toda a terra de Gósem, até Gibeão.

And Joshua smote them from Kadesh-barnea even unto Gaza, and all the country of Goshen, even unto Gibeon.

42 E de uma só vez tomou Josué todos esses reis e a sua terra, porquanto o Senhor, o Deus de Israel, pelejava por Israel.

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

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

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