Joshua 7

But the children of Israel committed a trespass in the accursed thing: for Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took of the accursed thing: and the anger of the LORD was kindled against the children of Israel.

Mas os filhos de Israel cometeram uma transgressão no tocante ao anátema, pois Acã, filho de Carmi, filho de Zabdi, filho de Zerá, da tribo de Judá, tomou do anátema; e a ira do Senhor se acendeu contra os filhos de Israel.

And Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai, which is beside Beth–aven, on the east side of Beth–el, and spake unto them, saying, Go up and view the country. And the men went up and viewed Ai.

Josué enviou de Jericó alguns homens a Ai, que está junto a Bete-Áven ao Oriente de Betel, e disse-lhes: Subi, e espiai a terra. Subiram, pois, aqueles homens, e espiaram a Ai.

And they returned to Joshua, and said unto him, Let not all the people go up; but let about two or three thousand men go up and smite Ai; and make not all the people to labour thither; for they are but few.

Voltaram a Josué, e disseram-lhe: Não suba todo o povo; subam uns dois ou três mil homens, e destruam a Ai. Não fatigues ali a todo o povo, porque os habitantes são poucos.

So there went up thither of the people about three thousand men: and they fled before the men of Ai.

Assim, subiram lá do povo cerca de três mil homens, os quais fugiram diante dos homens de Ai.

And the men of Ai smote of them about thirty and six men: for they chased them from before the gate even unto Shebarim, and smote them in the going down: wherefore the hearts of the people melted, and became as water.

E os homens de Ai mataram deles cerca de trinta e seis e, havendo-os perseguido desde a porta até Sebarim, bateram-nos na descida; e o coração do povo se derreteu e se tornou como água.

And Joshua rent his clothes, and fell to the earth upon his face before the ark of the LORD until the eventide, he and the elders of Israel, and put dust upon their heads.

Então Josué rasgou as suas vestes, e se prostrou com o rosto em terra perante a arca do Senhor até a tarde, ele e os anciãos de Israel; e deitaram pó sobre as suas cabeças.

And Joshua said, Alas, O Lord GOD, wherefore hast thou at all brought this people over Jordan, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us? would to God we had been content, and dwelt on the other side Jordan!

E disse Josué: Ah, Senhor Deus! Por que fizeste a este povo atravessar o Jordão, para nos entregares nas mãos dos amorreus, para nos fazeres perecer? Oxalá nos tivéssemos contentado em morarmos além do Jordão.

O Lord, what shall I say, when Israel turneth their backs before their enemies!

Ah, Senhor! Que direi, depois que Israel virou as costas diante dos seus inimigos?

For the Canaanites and all the inhabitants of the land shall hear of it, and shall environ us round, and cut off our name from the earth: and what wilt thou do unto thy great name?

Pois os cananeus e todos os moradores da terra o ouvirão e, cercando-nos, exterminarão da terra o nosso nome; e então, que farás pelo teu grande nome?

And the LORD said unto Joshua, Get thee up; wherefore liest thou thus upon thy face?

Respondeu o Senhor a Josué: Levanta-te! Por que estás assim prostrado com o rosto em terra?

Israel hath sinned, and they have also transgressed my covenant which I commanded them: for they have even taken of the accursed thing, and have also stolen, and dissembled also, and they have put it even among their own stuff.

Israel pecou; eles transgrediram o meu pacto que lhes tinha ordenado; tomaram do anátema, furtaram-no e, dissimulando, esconderam-no entre a sua bagagem.

Therefore the children of Israel could not stand before their enemies, but turned their backs before their enemies, because they were accursed: neither will I be with you any more, except ye destroy the accursed from among you.

Por isso os filhos de Israel não puderam subsistir perante os seus inimigos, viraram as costas diante deles, porquanto se fizeram anátema. Não serei mais convosco, se não destruirdes o anátema do meio de vós.

Up, sanctify the people, and say, Sanctify yourselves against to morrow: for thus saith the LORD God of Israel, There is an accursed thing in the midst of thee, O Israel: thou canst not stand before thine enemies, until ye take away the accursed thing from among you.

Levanta-te santifica o povo, e dize-lhe: Santificai-vos para amanhã, pois assim diz o Senhor, o Deus de Israel: Anátema há no meio de ti, Israel; não poderás suster-te diante dos teus inimigos, enquanto não tirares do meio de ti o anátema.

In the morning therefore ye shall be brought according to your tribes: and it shall be, that the tribe which the LORD taketh shall come according to the families thereof; and the family which the LORD shall take shall come by households; and the household which the LORD shall take shall come man by man.

Amanhã, pois, vos chegareis, segundo as vossas tribos; a tribo que o Senhor tomar se chegará por famílias; a família que o Senhor tomar se chegará por casas; e a casa que o Senhor tomar se chegará homem por homem.

And it shall be, that he that is taken with the accursed thing shall be burnt with fire, he and all that he hath: because he hath transgressed the covenant of the LORD, and because he hath wrought folly in Israel.

E aquele que for tomado com o anátema, será queimado no fogo, ele e tudo quanto tiver, porquanto transgrediu o pacto do Senhor, e fez uma loucura em Israel.

So Joshua rose up early in the morning, and brought Israel by their tribes; and the tribe of Judah was taken:

Então Josué se levantou de madrugada, e fez chegar Israel segundo as suas tribos, e foi tomada por sorte a tribo de Judá;

And he brought the family of Judah; and he took the family of the Zarhites: and he brought the family of the Zarhites man by man; and Zabdi was taken:

fez chegar a tribo de Judá, e foi tomada a família dos zeraítas; fez chegar a família dos zeraítas, homem por homem, e foi tomado Zabdi;

And he brought his household man by man; and Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, was taken.

fez chegar a casa de Zabdi, homem por homem, e foi tomado Acã, filho de Carmi, filho de Zabdi, filho de Zerá, da tribo de Judá.

And Joshua said unto Achan, My son, give, I pray thee, glory to the LORD God of Israel, and make confession unto him; and tell me now what thou hast done; hide it not from me.

Então disse Josué a Acã: Filho meu, dá, peço-te, glória ao Senhor Deus de Israel, e faze confissão perante ele. Declara-me agora o que fizeste; não mo ocultes.

And Achan answered Joshua, and said, Indeed I have sinned against the LORD God of Israel, and thus and thus have I done:

Respondeu Acã a Josué: Verdadeiramente pequei contra o Senhor Deus de Israel, e eis o que fiz:

When I saw among the spoils a goodly Babylonish garment, and two hundred shekels of silver, and a wedge of gold of fifty shekels weight, then I coveted them, and took them; and, behold, they are hid in the earth in the midst of my tent, and the silver under it.

quando vi entre os despojos uma boa capa babilônica, e duzentos siclos de prata, e uma cunha de ouro do peso de cinquenta siclos, cobicei-os e tomei-os; eis que estão escondidos na terra, no meio da minha tenda, e a prata debaixo da capa.

So Joshua sent messengers, and they ran unto the tent; and, behold, it was hid in his tent, and the silver under it.

Então Josué enviou mensageiros, que foram correndo à tenda; e eis que tudo estava escondido na sua tenda, estando a prata debaixo da capa.

And they took them out of the midst of the tent, and brought them unto Joshua, and unto all the children of Israel, and laid them out before the LORD.

Tomaram, pois, aquelas coisas do meio da tenda, e as trouxeram a Josué e a todos os filhos de Israel; e as puseram perante o Senhor.

And Joshua, and all Israel with him, took Achan the son of Zerah, and the silver, and the garment, and the wedge of gold, and his sons, and his daughters, and his oxen, and his asses, and his sheep, and his tent, and all that he had: and they brought them unto the valley of Achor.

Então Josué e todo o Israel com ele tomaram Acã, filho de Zerá, e a prata, a capa e a cunha de ouro, e seus filhos e suas filhas, e seus bois, jumentos e ovelhas, e a sua tenda, e tudo quanto tinha, e levaram-nos ao vale de Acor.

And Joshua said, Why hast thou troubled us? the LORD shall trouble thee this day. And all Israel stoned him with stones, and burned them with fire, after they had stoned them with stones.

E disse Josué: Por que nos perturbaste? Hoje o Senhor te perturbará a ti: E todo o Israel o apedrejou; queimaram-nos no fogo, e os apedrejaram:

And they raised over him a great heap of stones unto this day. So the LORD turned from the fierceness of his anger. Wherefore the name of that place was called, The valley of Achor, unto this day.

E levantaram sobre ele um grande montão de pedras, que permanece até o dia de hoje. E o Senhor se apartou do ardor da sua ira. Por isso se chama aquele lugar até hoje o vale de Acor.
