Livro de Josué 5

SAGRADA BIBLIA	DOUAI-RHEIMS
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 Now when all the kings of the Amorrhites, who dwelt beyond the Jordan westward, and all the kings of Chanaan, who possessed the places near the great sea, had heard that the Lord had dried up the waters of the Jordan before the children of Israel, till they passed over, their heart failed them, and there remained no spirit in them, fearing the coming in 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 to Josue: Make thee knives of stone, and circumcise the second time the children of Israel.
3 Josué fez as facas de pedra e circuncidou os israelitas na colina de Aralot.	3 He did what the Lord had commanded, and he circumcised the children of Israel in 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 Now this is the cause of the second circumcision: All the people that came out of Egypt that were males, all the men fit for war, died in the desert, during the time of the long going about in the way.
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 these were all circumcised. But the people that were born in the desert,
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 Luring the forty years of the journey in the wide wilderness, were uncircumcised: till all they were consumed that had not heard the voice of the Lord, and to whom he had sworn before, that he would not shew them the land flowing 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 The children of these succeeded in the place of their fathers, and were circumcised by Josue: for they were uncircumcised even as they were born, and no one had circumcised them in the way.
8 Depois que foram todos circuncidados, permaneceram acampados até sararem.	8 Now after they were all circumcised, they remained in the same place of the camp, until they were healed.
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 to Josue: This day have I taken away from you the reproach of Egypt. And the name of that place was called Galgal, until this present 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 abode in Galgal, and they kept the phase on the fourteenth day of the month, at evening, 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 ate on the next day unleavened bread of the corn of the land, and frumenty of the same year.
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 after they ate of the corn of the land, neither did the children of Israel use that food any more, but they ate of the corn of the present year of the land of Chanaan.
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 when Josue was in the field of the city of Jericho, he lifted up his eyes, and saw a man standing over against him: holding a drawn sword, and he went to him, and said: Art thou one of ours, or of 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 answered: No: but I am prince of the host of the Lord, and now I am come.
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 Josue fell on his face to the ground. And worshipping, add: What saith my lord to his servant?
	16 Loose, saith he, thy shoes from off thy feet: for the place whereon thou standest is holy. And Josue did as was commanded him.
