Joshua 5

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	SAGRADA BIBLIA
1 When all the kings of the Amorites to the west of the Jordan and all the kings of the Canaanites by the sea heard that the LORD had dried up the waters of the Jordan before the Israelites until they crossed over, they were disheartened and lost courage at their approach.	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.
2 On this occasion the LORD said to Joshua, "Make flint knives and circumcise the Israelite nation for the second time."	2 Então o Senhor disse a Josué: Faze facas de pedras, e circuncida de novo os israelitas.
3 So Joshua made flint knives and circumcised the Israelites at Gibeath-haaraloth,	3 Josué fez as facas de pedra e circuncidou os israelitas na colina de Aralot.
4 under these circumstances: Of all the people who came out of Egypt, every man of military age had died in the desert during the journey after they left Egypt.	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.
5 Though all the men who came out were circumcised, none of those born in the desert during the journey after the departure from Egypt were circumcised.	5 Ora, todos eles tinham sido circuncidados. A multidão, porém, nascida no deserto durante a viagem depois do êxodo, não o tinha sido.
6 Now the Israelites had wandered forty years in the desert, until all the warriors among the people that came forth from Egypt died off because they had not obeyed the command of the LORD. For the LORD swore that he would not let them see the land flowing with milk and honey which he had promised their fathers he would give us.	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.
7 It was the children whom he raised up in their stead whom Joshua circumcised, for these were yet with foreskins, not having been circumcised on the journey.	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.
8 When the rite had been performed, the whole nation remained in camp where they were, until they recovered.	8 Depois que foram todos circuncidados, permaneceram acampados até sararem.
9 Then the LORD said to Joshua, "Today I have removed the reproach of Egypt from you." Therefore the place is called Gilgal to the present day.	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.
10 While the Israelites were encamped at Gilgal on the plains of Jericho, they celebrated the Passover on the evening of the fourteenth of the month.	10 Os israelitas acamparam em Gálgala, e celebraram a Páscoa no décimo quarto dia do mês, pela tarde, na planície de Jericó.
11 On the day after the Passover they ate of the produce of the land in the form of unleavened cakes and parched grain. On that same day	11 No dia seguinte à Páscoa comeram os produtos da região, pães sem fermento e trigo tostado.
12 after the Passover on which they ate of the produce of the land, the manna ceased. No longer was there manna for the Israelites, who that year ate of the yield of the land of Canaan.	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.
13 While Joshua was near Jericho, he raised his eyes and saw one who stood facing him, drawn sword in hand. Joshua went up to him and asked, "Are you one of us or of our enemies?"	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?
14 He replied, "Neither. I am the captain of the host of the LORD and I have just arrived." Then Joshua fell prostrate to the ground in worship, and said to him, "What has my lord to say to his servant?"	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?
15 The captain of the host of the LORD replied to Joshua, "Remove your sandals from your feet, for the place on which you are standing is holy." And Joshua obeyed.	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.
