Jošua 6
1 A Jerihon stajaše silno utvrđen i zatvoren pred sinovima Izraelovim. Nitko nije izlazio niti je tko ulazio.
Now Jericho was closely shut up and besieged, and none went out of it, and none came in.
2 Tada Jahve reče Jošui: “Evo, predajem ti u ruke Jerihon i kralja njegova s ratnicima.
And the Lord said to Joshua, Behold, I deliver Jericho into your power, and its king in it, [and its] mighty men.
3 Svi vi ratnici obiđite oko grada jedanput na dan. Tako činite šest dana.
And do you set the men of war round about it.
4 A sedam svećenika neka nose pred Kovčegom sedam truba od ovnujskih rogova. Sedmoga dana obiđite sedam puta oko grada, a svećenici neka trube u trublje.
And it shall be [that] when you shall sound with the trumpet, all the people shall shout together.
5 Pa kad otežući zatrube u rog ovnujski, neka sav narod, čim čuje glas trube, podigne silnu bojnu viku. I srušit će se gradski bedemi, a narod neka tada ulazi svaki odande gdje se nađe.”
And when they have shouted, the walls of the city shall fall of themselves; and all the people shall enter, each one rushing direct into the city.
6 Jošua, sin Nunov, pozva k sebi svećenike i reče im: “Uzmite Kovčeg saveza, a sedam svećenika neka ponese sedam truba od rogova ovnujskih pred Kovčegom Jahvinim.”
And Joshua the [son] of Naue went in to the priests, and spoke to them, saying,
7 A narodu reče: “Pođite i obiđite oko grada, a ratnici neka idu pred Kovčegom Jahvinim.”
And let seven priests having seven sacred trumpets proceed thus before the Lord, and let them sound loudly; and let the ark of the covenant of the Lord follow.
8 I bi kako je Jošua zapovjedio narodu. Pođe sedam svećenika noseći trube od rogova ovnujskih: trubili su u rogove, a Kovčeg Jahvin iđaše za njima.
Charge the people to go round, and encompass the city; and let your men of war pass on armed before the Lord.
9 Ratnici pođoše pred svećenicima koji su trubili u trube, a zalaznica krenu za Kovčegom. Stupali su tako dok se glas truba razlijegao.
And let the men of war proceed before, and the priests bringing up the rear behind the ark of the covenant of the Lord [proceed] sounding the trumpets.
10 A narodu bijaše zapovjedio Jošua govoreći: “Ne vičite i ne dajte glasa od sebe i nijedna riječ neka se ne čuje iz vaših usta dok vam ne kažem: 'Vičite!' Tada neka odjekne bojna vika.”
And Joshua commanded the people, saying, Cry not out, nor let any one hear your voice, until he himself declare to you the time to cry out, and then you shall cry out.
11 I naredi da Kovčeg Jahvin obiđe jednom oko grada pa da se vrate u tabor i ondje prenoće.
And the ark of the covenant of God having gone round immediately returned into the camp, and lodged there.
12 Sutradan urani Jošua, a svećenici ponesu Kovčeg saveza.
And on the second day Joshua rose up in the morning, and the priests took up the ark of the covenant of the Lord.
13 A sedam svećenika koji su nosili sedam truba od rogova ovnujskih pođu pred Kovčegom Jahvinim. Idući trubili su u trube, ratnici iđahu pred njima, a zalaznica pak za Kovčegom Jahvinim dok su trube odjekivale.
And the seven priests bearing the seven trumpets went on before the Lord; and afterwards the men of war went on, and the remainder of the multitude went after the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and the priests sounded with the trumpets.
14 Tako i drugog dana obiđu jednom oko grada pa se vrate natrag u tabor. Tako su činili šest dana.
And all the rest of the multitude compassed the city six times from within a short distance, and went back again into the camp; this they did six days.
15 A sedmoga dana zorom ustanu i obiđu oko grada istim onakvim redom sedam puta. Samo su toga dana obišli oko grada sedam puta.
And on the seventh day they rose up early, and compassed the city on that day seven times.
16 Za sedmog obilaska snažno zatrube svećenici u rogove, a Jošua reče narodu: “Kličite bojne poklike jer vam je Jahve predao grad!
And it came to pass at the seventh circuit the priests blew the trumpets; and Joshua said to the children of Israel, Shout, for the Lord has given you the city.
17 Grad neka bude 'herem' Jahvi - uklet i predan uništenju sa svime što je u njemu. Samo bludnica Rahaba da ostane živa i svi koji budu s njom u kući, jer je ona sakrila uhode koje smo poslali.
And the city shall be devoted, it and all things that are in it, to the Lord of Hosts: only do you save Raab the harlot, and all things in her house.
18 A čuvajte se svega ukletog u gradu da i sami ne budete prokleti što ste uzeli ukleto, jer biste time navukli prokletstvo na tabor i unesrećili ga.
But keep yourselves strictly from the accursed thing, lest you set your mind upon and take of the accursed thing, and you make the camp of the children of Israel and accursed thing, and destroy us.
19 Zato sve srebro i zlato, sve bakreno i željezno posuđe neka bude posvećeno Jahvi i pohranjeno u riznicu.”
And all the silver, or gold, or brass, or iron, shall be holy to the Lord; it shall be carried into the treasury of the Lord.
20 Tada povika narod i odjeknuše trube. Kada se zaori glas truba i bojni povici naroda, padoše bedemi i narod prodrije u grad, svatko odande gdje se našao, i osvojiše ga.
And the priests sounded with the trumpets: and when the people heard the trumpets, all the people shouted at once with a loud and strong shout; and all the wall fell round about, and all the people went up into the city:
21 I tada izvršiše kletvu ništeći oštricom mača sve što bijaše u gradu: muško i žensko, staro i mlado, volove, ovce i magarad.
and Joshua devoted it to destruction, and all things that were in the city, man and woman, young man and old, and calf and ass, with the edge of the sword.
22 A onoj dvojici što su uhodili zemlju reče Jošua: “Idite u kuću one bludnice pa izvedite ženu sa svima njezinima, kako joj se zakleste.”
And Joshua said to the two young men who had acted a spies, Go into the house of the woman, and bring her out thence, and all that she has.
23 I mladi ljudi, uhode, odoše te izvedoše Rahabu, njezina oca i njezinu majku, braću i svu rodbinu. Izvedoše sve njezine i smjestiše ih izvan izraelskog tabora.
And the two young men who had spied out the city entered into the house of the woman, and brought out Raab the harlot, and her father, and her mother, and her brethren, and her kindred, and all that she had; and they set her without the camp of Israel.
24 Spališe grad i sve što bijaše u njemu: uzeše samo srebro, zlato, tučano i željezno posuđe i staviše u riznicu Doma Jahvina.
And the city was burnt with fire with all things that were in it; only of the silver, and gold, and brass, and iron, they gave to be brought into the treasury of the Lord.
25 Ali bludnicu Rahabu, svu njenu obitelj i sve njihovo poštedi Jošua. Ona ostade među Izraelcima sve do danas, jer je sakrila glasnike koje je poslao Jošua da uhode Jerihon.
And Joshua saved alive Raab the harlot, and all the house of her father, and caused her to dwell in Israel until this day, because she hid the spies which Joshua sent to spy out Jericho.
26 Tada izreče Jošua ovu kletvu: “Proklet bio pred licem Jahve čovjek koji pokuša da ponovo gradi Jerihon: gradio mu temelje na svom prvencu, podizao mu vrata na svome mezimcu!”
And Joshua adjured [them] on that day before the Lord, saying, Cursed [be] the man who shall build that city: he shall lay the foundation of it in his firstborn, and he shall set up the gates of it in his youngest son. And so did Hozan of Baethel; he laid the foundation in Abiron his firstborn, and set up the gates of it in his youngest surviving son.
27 Jahve je bio s Jošuom te se pronio glas o njemu po svoj zemlji.
And the Lord was with Joshua, and his name was in all the land.
