Chapter 6

Now Jericho was straitly shut up because of the children of Israel: none went out, and none came in.

Ora, Jericó se conservava rigorosamente fechada por causa dos filhos de Israel; ninguém saía nem entrava.   

And the LORD said unto Joshua, See, I have given into thine hand Jericho, and the king thereof, and the mighty men of valour.

Então disse o Senhor a Josué: Olha, entrego na tua mão Jericó, o seu rei e os seus homens valorosos.   

And ye shall compass the city, all ye men of war, and go round about the city once. Thus shalt thou do six days.

Vós, pois, todos os homens de guerra, rodeareis a cidade, contornando-a uma vez por dia; assim fareis por seis dias.   

And seven priests shall bear before the ark seven trumpets of rams' horns: and the seventh day ye shall compass the city seven times, and the priests shall blow with the trumpets.

Sete sacerdotes levarão sete trombetas de chifres de carneiros adiante da arca; e no sétimo dia rodeareis a cidade sete vezes, e os sacerdotes tocarão as trombetas.   

And it shall come to pass, that when they make a long blast with the ram's horn, and when ye hear the sound of the trumpet, all the people shall shout with a great shout; and the wall of the city shall fall down flat, and the people shall ascend up every man straight before him.

E será que, fazendo-se sonido prolongado da trombeta, e ouvindo vós tal sonido, todo o povo dará um grande brado; então o muro da cidade cairá rente com o chão, e o povo subirá, cada qual para o lugar que lhe ficar defronte:   

And Joshua the son of Nun called the priests, and said unto them, Take up the ark of the covenant, and let seven priests bear seven trumpets of rams' horns before the ark of the LORD.

Chamou, pois, Josué, filho de Num, aos sacerdotes, e disse-lhes: Levai a arca do pacto, e sete sacerdotes levem sete trombetas de chifres de carneiros, adiante da arca do Senhor.   

And he said unto the people, Pass on, and compass the city, and let him that is armed pass on before the ark of the LORD.

E disse ao povo: Passai e rodeai a cidade; e marchem os homens armados adiante da arca do Senhor.   

And it came to pass, when Joshua had spoken unto the people, that the seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams' horns passed on before the LORD, and blew with the trumpets: and the ark of the covenant of the LORD followed them.

Assim, pois, se fez como Josué dissera ao povo: os sete sacerdotes, levando as sete trombetas adiante do Senhor, passaram, e tocaram-nas; e a arca do pacto do Senhor os seguia.   

And the armed men went before the priests that blew with the trumpets, and the rereward came after the ark, the priests going on, and blowing with the trumpets.

E os homens armados iam adiante dos sacerdotes que tocavam as trombetas, e a retaguarda seguia após a arca, os sacerdotes sempre tocando as trombetas.   

And Joshua had commanded the people, saying, Ye shall not shout, nor make any noise with your voice, neither shall any word proceed out of your mouth, until the day I bid you shout; then shall ye shout.

Josué tinha dado ordem ao povo, dizendo: Não gritareis, nem fareis ouvir a vossa voz, nem sairá palavra alguma da vossa boca, até o dia em que eu vos disser: gritai! Então gritareis.   

So the ark of the LORD compassed the city, going about it once: and they came into the camp, and lodged in the camp.

Assim fizeram a arca do Senhor rodear a cidade, contornando-a uma vez; então entraram no arraial, e ali passaram a noite.   

And Joshua rose early in the morning, and the priests took up the ark of the LORD.

Josué levantou-se de madrugada, e os sacerdotes tomaram a arca do Senhor.   

And seven priests bearing seven trumpets of rams' horns before the ark of the LORD went on continually, and blew with the trumpets: and the armed men went before them; but the rereward came after the ark of the LORD, the priests going on, and blowing with the trumpets.

Os sete sacerdotes que levavam as sete trombetas de chifres de carneiros adiante da arca da Senhor iam andando, tocando as trombetas; os homens armados iam adiante deles, e a retaguarda seguia atrás da arca do Senhor, os sacerdotes sempre tocando as trombetas.   

And the second day they compassed the city once, and returned into the camp: so they did six days.

E rodearam a cidade uma vez no segundo dia, e voltaram ao arraial. Assim fizeram por seis dias.   

And it came to pass on the seventh day, that they rose early about the dawning of the day, and compassed the city after the same manner seven times: only on that day they compassed the city seven times.

No sétimo dia levantaram-se bem de madrugada, e da mesma maneira rodearam a cidade sete vezes; somente naquele dia rodearam-na sete vezes.   

And it came to pass at the seventh time, when the priests blew with the trumpets, Joshua said unto the people, Shout; for the LORD hath given you the city.

E quando os sacerdotes pela sétima vez tocavam as trombetas, disse Josué ao povo: Gritai, porque o Senhor vos entregou a cidade.   

And the city shall be accursed, even it, and all that are therein, to the LORD: only Rahab the harlot shall live, she and all that are with her in the house, because she hid the messengers that we sent.

A cidade, porém, com tudo quanto nela houver, será danátema ao Senhor; somente a prostituta Raabe viverá, ela e todos os que com ela estiverem em casa, porquanto escondeu os mensageiros que enviamos.   

And ye, in any wise keep yourselves from the accursed thing, lest ye make yourselves accursed, when ye take of the accursed thing, and make the camp of Israel a curse, and trouble it.

Mas quanto a vós, guardai-vos do anátema, para que, depois de o terdes feito tal, não tomeis dele coisa alguma, e não façais anátema o arraial de Israel, e o perturbeis.   

But all the silver, and gold, and vessels of brass and iron, are consecrated unto the LORD: they shall come into the treasury of the LORD.

Contudo, toda a prata, e o ouro, e os vasos de bronze e de ferro, são consagrados ao Senhor; irão para o tesouro do Senhor.   

So the people shouted when the priests blew with the trumpets: and it came to pass, when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, and the people shouted with a great shout, that the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they took the city.

Gritou, pois, o povo, e os sacerdotes tocaram as trombetas; ouvindo o povo o sonido da trombeta, deu um grande brado, e o muro caiu rente com o chão, e o povo subiu à cidade, cada qual para o lugar que lhe ficava defronte, e tomaram a cidade:   

And they utterly destroyed all that was in the city, both man and woman, young and old, and ox, and sheep, and ass, with the edge of the sword.

E destruíram totalmente, ao fio da espada, tudo quanto havia na cidade, homem e mulher, menino e velho, bois, ovelhas e jumentos.   

But Joshua had said unto the two men that had spied out the country, Go into the harlot's house, and bring out thence the woman, and all that she hath, as ye sware unto her.

Então disse Josué aos dois homens que tinham espiado a terra: Entrai na casa da prostituta, e tirai-a dali com tudo quanto tiver, como lhe prometestes com juramento.   

And the young men that were spies went in, and brought out Rahab, and her father, and her mother, and her brethren, and all that she had; and they brought out all her kindred, and left them without the camp of Israel.

Entraram, pois, os mancebos espias, e tiraram Raabe, seu pai, sua mãe, seus irmãos, e todos quantos lhe pertenciam; e, trazendo todos os seus parentes, os puseram fora do arraial de Israel.   

And they burnt the city with fire, and all that was therein: only the silver, and the gold, and the vessels of brass and of iron, they put into the treasury of the house of the LORD.

A cidade, porém, e tudo quanto havia nela queimaram a fogo; tão-somente a prata, e o ouro, e os vasos de bronze e de ferro, colocaram-nos no tesouro da casa do Senhor.   

And Joshua saved Rahab the harlot alive, and her father's household, and all that she had; and she dwelleth in Israel even unto this day; because she hid the messengers, which Joshua sent to spy out Jericho.

Assim Josué poupou a vida à prostituta Raabe, à família de seu pai, e a todos quantos lhe pertenciam; e ela ficou habitando no meio de Israel até o dia de hoje, porquanto escondera os mensageiros que Josué tinha enviado a espiar a Jericó.   

And Joshua adjured them at that time, saying, Cursed be the man before the LORD, that riseth up and buildeth this city Jericho: he shall lay the foundation thereof in his firstborn, and in his youngest son shall he set up the gates of it.

Também nesse tempo Josué os esconjurou, dizendo: Maldito diante do Senhor seja o homem que se levantar e reedificar esta cidade de Jericó; com a perda do seu primogênito a fundará, e com a perda do seu filho mais novo lhe colocará as portas.   

So the LORD was with Joshua; and his fame was noised throughout all the country.

Assim era o Senhor com Josué; e corria a sua fama por toda a terra.
