1 Q uando Jabim, rei de Hazor, ouviu isso, enviou mensageiros a Jobabe, rei de Madom, e ao rei de Sinrom, e ao rei de Acsafe,

When Jabin king of Hazor heard of this, he sent to Jobab king of Madon, and to the kings of Shimron and Achshaph,

2 e aos reis que estavam ao norte, na região montanhosa, na Arabá ao sul de Quinerote, na baixada, e nos planaltos de Dor ao ocidente;

And to the kings who were in the north in the hill country and in the Arabah south of Chinneroth and in the lowland and in the heights of Dor on the west;

3 a o cananeu do oriente e do ocidente, ao amorreu, ao heteu, ao perizeu, ao jebuseu na região montanhosa, e ao heveu ao pé de Hermom na terra de Mizpá.

To the Canaanites in the east and west; to the Amorites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Jebusites in the hill country; and to the Hivites below Hermon in the land of Mizpah.

4 S aíram pois eles, com todos os seus exércitos, muito povo, em multidão como a areia que está na praia do mar, e muitíssimos cavalos e carros.

And they went out with all their hosts, much people, like the sand on the seashore in number, with very many horses and chariots.

5 T odos esses reis, reunindo-se, vieram e juntos se acamparam

And all these kings met and came and encamped together at the Waters of Merom, to fight against Israel.

6 D isse o Senhor a Josué: Não os temas, pois amanhã a esta hora eu os entregarei todos mortos diante de Israel. Os seus cavalos jarretarás, e os seus carros queimarás a fogo.

But the Lord said to Joshua, Do not be afraid because of them, for tomorrow by this time I will give them up all slain to Israel; you shall hamstring their horses and burn their chariots with fire.

7 J osué, pois, com toda a gente de guerra, sobreveio-lhes de repente

So Joshua and all the people of war with him came against them suddenly by the Waters of Merom and fell upon them.

8 E o Senhor os entregou na mão dos israelitas, que os feriram e os perseguiram até a grande Sidom, e até Misrefote-Maim, e até o vale de Mizpe ao oriente; e feriram-nos até não lhes deixar nem sequer um.

And the Lord gave them into the hand of Israel, who smote them and chased them populous Sidon and Misrephoth-maim, and eastward as far as the Valley of Mizpah; they smote them until none remained.

9 F ez-lhes Josué como o Senhor lhe dissera: os seus cavalos jarretou, e os seus carros queimou a fogo.

And Joshua did to them as the Lord had commanded him: he hamstrung their horses and burned their chariots with fire.

10 N aquele tempo Josué voltou e tomou também a Hazor, e feriu ã espada ao seu rei, porquanto Hazor dantes era a cabeça de todos estes reinos.

And Joshua at that time turned back and took Hazor and smote its king with the sword; for Hazor previously was the head of all those kingdoms.

11 E passaram ao fio da espada a todos os que nela havia, destruindo-os totalmente; nada restou do que tinha fôlego; e a Hazor ele queimou a fogo.

They smote all the people in it with the sword, utterly destroying them; none were left alive, and he burned Hazor with fire.

12 J osué, pois, tomou todas as cidades desses reis, e a eles mesmos, e os passou ao fio da espada, destruindo-os totalmente, como ordenara Moisés, servo do Senhor.

And Joshua took all the cities of those kings and all the kings and smote them with the sword, utterly destroying them, as Moses the servant of the Lord commanded.

13 C ontudo, quanto

But Israel burned none of the cities that stood on their mounds—except Hazor only, which Joshua burned.

14 M as todos os despojos dessas cidades, e o gado, tomaram-nos os filhos de Israel como presa para si; porém feriram ao fio da espada todos os homens, até os destruírem; nada deixaram do que tinha fôlego de vida.

And all the spoil of these cities and the livestock the Israelites took for their booty; but every man they smote with the sword until they had destroyed them, and they left none who breathed.

15 C omo o Senhor ordenara a Moisés, seu servo, assim Moisés ordenou a Josué, e assim Josué o fez; não deixou de fazer coisa alguma de tudo o que o Senhor ordenara a Moisés.

As the Lord had commanded Moses His servant, so Moses commanded Joshua, and so Joshua did; he left nothing undone of all that the Lord commanded Moses.

16 A ssim Josué tomou toda aquela terra, a região montanhosa, todo o Negebe, e toda a terra de Gósem e a baixada, e a Arabá, e a região montanhosa de Israel com a sua baixada,

So Joshua took all that land: the hill country, all the South, all the land of Goshen, the lowland, the Arabah, the hill country of Israel and its lowland,

17 d esde o monte Halaque, que sobe a Seir, até Baal-Gade, no vale do Líbano, ao pé do monte Hermom; também tomou todos os seus reis, e os feriu e os matou.

From Mount Halak, which rises toward Seir, as far as Baal-gad in the Valley of Lebanon below Mount Hermon. He captured all their kings and slew them.

18 P or muito tempo Josué fez guerra contra todos esses reis.

Joshua had waged war a long time with all those kings.

19 N ão houve cidade que fizesse paz com os filhos de Israel, senão os heveus, moradores de Gibeão; a todas tomaram ã força de armas.

Not a city made peace with the Israelites except the Hivites, the people of Gibeon; all the others they took in battle.

20 P orquanto do Senhor veio o endurecimento dos seus corações para saírem ã guerra contra Israel, a fim de que fossem destruídos totalmente, e não achassem piedade alguma, mas fossem exterminados, como o Senhor tinha ordenado a Moisés.

For it was of the Lord to harden their hearts that they should come against Israel in battle, that might destroy them utterly, and that without favor and mercy, as the Lord commanded Moses.

21 N aquele tempo veio Josué, e exterminou os anaquins da região montanhosa de Hebrom, de Debir, de Anabe, de toda a região montanhosa de Judá, e de toda a região montanhosa de Israel; Josué os destruiu totalmente com as suas cidades.

Joshua came at that time and cut off the Anakim from the hill country: from Hebron, from Debir, from Anab, and from all the hill country of Judah and the hill country of Israel. Joshua destroyed them utterly with their cities.

22 N ão foi deixado nem sequer um dos anaquins na terra dos filhos de Israel; somente ficaram alguns em Gaza, em Gate, e em Asdode.

None of the Anakim were left in the land of the Israelites; only in Gaza, Gath, and Ashdod did some remain.

23 A ssim Josué tomou toda esta terra conforme tudo o que o Senhor tinha dito a Moisés; e Josué a deu em herança a Israel, pelas suas divisões, segundo as suas tribos; e a terra repousou da guerra.

So Joshua took the whole land, according to all that the Lord had spoken to Moses, and Joshua gave it for an inheritance to Israel according to their allotments by tribes. And the land had rest from war.
