Livro de Josué 5

SAGRADA BIBLIA	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 Quando todos os reis dos amorreus, a ocidente do Jordão, e todos os reis dos cananeus, para as bandas do mar, souberam que o Senhor tinha secado as águas do Jordão diante dos israelitas, até que passassem, seu coração desfaleceu e perderam toda a coragem diante dos israelitas.	1 And it came to pass, when all the kings of the Amorites, which were on the side of Jordan westward, and all the kings of the Canaanites, which were by the sea, heard that the LORD had dried up the waters of Jordan from before the children of Israel, until we were passed over, that their heart melted, neither was there spirit in them any more, because of the children of Israel.
2 Então o Senhor disse a Josué: Faze facas de pedras, e circuncida de novo os israelitas.	2 At that time the LORD said unto Joshua, Make thee sharp knives, and circumcise again the children of Israel the second time.
3 Josué fez as facas de pedra e circuncidou os israelitas na colina de Aralot.	3 And Joshua made him sharp knives, and circumcised the children of Israel at the hill of the foreskins.
4 A causa dessa circuncisão é a seguinte: todos os varões dentre o povo que tinham saído do Egito - todos os homens de guerra - tinham morrido em caminho, no deserto, depois que haviam partido do Egito.	4 And this is the cause why Joshua did circumcise: All the people that came out of Egypt, that were males, even all the men of war, died in the wilderness by the way, after they came out of Egypt.
5 Ora, todos eles tinham sido circuncidados. A multidão, porém, nascida no deserto durante a viagem depois do êxodo, não o tinha sido.	5 Now all the people that came out were circumcised: but all the people that were born in the wilderness by the way as they came forth out of Egypt, them they had not circumcised.
6 Os israelitas tinham marchado pelo deserto durante quarenta anos, até o desaparecimento completo dessa massa de homens de guerra escapados do Egito, mas infiéis à voz do Senhor. O Senhor havia-lhes jurado que não veriam a terra prometida a seus pais, terra que mana leite e mel.	6 For the children of Israel walked forty years in the wilderness, till all the people that were men of war, which came out of Egypt, were consumed, because they obeyed not the voice of the LORD: unto whom the LORD sware that he would not shew them the land, which the LORD sware unto their fathers that he would give us, a land that floweth with milk and honey.
7 Seus filhos foram postos em seu lugar. Foi essa a geração que Josué circuncidou. Eles tinham o seu prepúcio, porque não tinham sido circuncidados durante sua viagem.	7 And their children, whom he raised up in their stead, them Joshua circumcised: for they were uncircumcised, because they had not circumcised them by the way.
8 Depois que foram todos circuncidados, permaneceram acampados até sararem.	8 And it came to pass, when they had done circumcising all the people, that they abode in their places in the camp, till they were whole.
9 O Senhor disse a Josué: Hoje tirei de cima de vós o opróbrio do Egito. E deu-se àquele lugar o nome de Gálgala, nome que subsiste ainda.	9 And the LORD said unto Joshua, This day have I rolled away the reproach of Egypt from off you. Wherefore the name of the place is called Gilgal unto this day.
10 Os israelitas acamparam em Gálgala, e celebraram a Páscoa no décimo quarto dia do mês, pela tarde, na planície de Jericó.	10 And the children of Israel encamped in Gilgal, and kept the passover on the fourteenth day of the month at even in the plains of Jericho.
11 No dia seguinte à Páscoa comeram os produtos da região, pães sem fermento e trigo tostado.	11 And they did eat of the old corn of the land on the morrow after the passover, unleavened cakes, and parched corn in the selfsame day.
12 E o maná cessou {de cair} no dia seguinte àquele em que comeram os produtos da terra. Os israelitas não tiveram mais o maná. Naquele ano alimentaram-se da colheita da terra de Canaã.	12 And the manna ceased on the morrow after they had eaten of the old corn of the land; neither had the children of Israel manna any more; but they did eat of the fruit of the land of Canaan that year.
13 Josué encontrava-se nas proximidades de Jericó. Levantando os olhos, viu diante de si um homem de pé, com uma espada desembainhada na mão. Josué foi contra ele: És dos nossos, disse ele, ou dos nossos inimigos?	13 And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked, and, behold, there stood a man over against him with his sword drawn in his hand: and Joshua went unto him, and said unto him, Art thou for us, or for our adversaries?
14 Ele respondeu: Não; venho como chefe do exército do Senhor. Josué prostrou-se com o rosto por terra, e disse-lhe: Que ordena o meu Senhor a seu servo?	14 And he said, Nay; but as captain of the host of the LORD am I now come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and did worship, and said unto him, What saith my lord unto his servant?
15 E o chefe do exército do Senhor respondeu: Tira o calçado de teus pés, porque o lugar em que te encontras é santo. Assim fez Josué.	15 And the captain of the LORD's host said unto Joshua, Loose thy shoe from off thy foot; for the place whereon thou standest is holy. And Joshua did so.
