Chapter 5

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.

Quando, 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.   

At that time the LORD said unto Joshua, Make thee sharp knives, and circumcise again the children of Israel the second time.

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

And Joshua made him sharp knives, and circumcised the children of Israel at the hill of the foreskins.

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

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.

Esta 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.   

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.

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

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.

Pois 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 à 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.   

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.

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

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.

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

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.

Disse 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.   

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.

Estando, pois, os filhos de Israel acampados em Gilgal, celebraram a páscoa no dia catorze do mês, à tarde, nas planícies de Jericó.   

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.

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

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.

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.   

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?

Ora, 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?   

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?

Respondeu 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?   

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.

Então 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:
