1 Q uando, pois, todos os reis dos amorreus que estavam ao oeste do Jordão, e todos os reis dos cananeus que estavam ao lado do mar, ouviram que o Senhor tinha secado as águas do Jordão de diante dos filhos de Israel, até que passassem, derreteu-se-lhes o coração, e não houve mais ânimo neles, por causa dos filhos de Israel.

When all the kings of the Amorites, who were beyond the Jordan westward, and all the kings of the Canaanites, who were by the sea, heard how Yahweh had dried up the waters of the Jordan from before the children of Israel, until we had crossed over, their heart melted, and there was no more spirit in them, because of the children of Israel.

2 N aquele tempo disse o Senhor a Josué: Faze facas de pederneira, e circuncida segunda vez aos filhos de Israel.

At that time, Yahweh said to Joshua, “Make flint knives, and circumcise again the sons of Israel the second time.”

3 E ntão Josué fez facas de pederneira, e circuncidou aos filhos de Israel em Gibeate-Haaralote.

Joshua made himself flint knives, and circumcised the sons of Israel at the hill of the foreskins.

4 E sta é a razão por que Josué os circuncidou: todo o povo que tinha saído do Egito, os homens, todos os homens de guerra, já haviam morrido no deserto, pelo caminho, depois que saíram do Egito.

This is the reason Joshua circumcised them: all the people who came out of Egypt, who were males, even all the men of war, died in the wilderness along the way, after they came out of Egypt.

5 T odos estes que saíram estavam circuncidados, mas nenhum dos que nasceram no deserto, pelo caminho, depois de terem saído do Egito, havia sido circuncidado.

For all the people who came out were circumcised; but all the people who were born in the wilderness along the way as they came out of Egypt had not been circumcised.

6 P ois quarenta anos andaram os filhos de Israel pelo deserto, até se acabar toda a nação, isto é, todos os homens de guerra que saíram do Egito, e isso porque não obedeceram ã voz do Senhor; aos quais o Senhor tinha jurado que não lhes havia de deixar ver a terra que, com juramento, prometera a seus pais nos daria, terra que mana leite e mel.

For the children of Israel walked forty years in the wilderness, until all the nation, even the men of war who came out of Egypt, were consumed, because they didn’t listen to Yahweh’s voice. Yahweh swore to them that he wouldn’t let them see the land which Yahweh swore to their fathers that he would give us, a land flowing with milk and honey.

7 M as em lugar deles levantou seus filhos; a estes Josué circuncidou, porquanto estavam incircuncisos, porque não os haviam circuncidado pelo caminho.

Their children, whom he raised up in their place, were circumcised by Joshua; for they were uncircumcised, because they had not circumcised them on the way.

8 E depois que foram todos circuncidados, permaneceram no seu lugar no arraial, até que sararam.

When they were done circumcising the whole nation, they stayed in their places in the camp until they were healed.

9 D isse então o Senhor a Josué: Hoje revolvi de sobre vós o opróbrio do Egito; pelo que se chama aquele lugar: Gilgal, até o dia de hoje.

Yahweh said to Joshua, “Today I have rolled away the reproach of Egypt off of you.” Therefore the name of that place was called Gilgal, to this day.

10 E stando, pois, os filhos de Israel acampados em Gilgal, celebraram a páscoa no dia catorze do mês, ã tarde, nas planícies de Jericó.

The children of Israel encamped in Gilgal. They kept the Passover on the fourteenth day of the month at evening in the plains of Jericho.

11 E , ao outro dia depois da páscoa, nesse mesmo dia, comeram, do produto da terra, pães ázimos e espigas tostadas.

They ate unleavened cakes and parched grain of the produce of the land on the next day after the Passover, in the same day.

12 E no dia depois de terem comido do produto da terra, cessou o maná, e os filhos de Israel não o tiveram mais; porém nesse ano comeram dos produtos da terra de Canaã.

The manna ceased on the next day, after they had eaten of the produce of the land. The children of Israel didn’t have manna any more; but they ate of the fruit of the land of Canaan that year.

13 O ra, estando Josué perto de Jericó, levantou os olhos, e olhou; e eis que estava em pé diante dele um homem que tinha na mão uma espada nua. Chegou-se Josué a ele, e perguntou-lhe: És tu por nós, ou pelos nossos adversários?

When Joshua was by Jericho, he lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, a man stood in front of him with his sword drawn in his hand. Joshua went to him and said to him, “Are you for us, or for our enemies?”

14 R espondeu ele: Não; mas venho agora como príncipe do exército do Senhor. Então Josué, prostrando-se com o rosto em terra, o adorou e perguntou-lhe: Que diz meu Senhor ao seu servo?

He said, “No; but I have come now as commander of Yahweh’s army.” Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and worshiped, and asked him, “What does my lord say to his servant?”

15 E ntão respondeu o príncipe do exército do Senhor a Josué: Tira os sapatos dos pés, porque o lugar em que estás é santo. E Josué assim fez:

The prince of Yahweh’s army said to Joshua, “Take your shoes off of your feet; for the place on which you stand is holy.” Joshua did so.
