< Jošua 6 >
1 A Jerihon stajaše silno utvrđen i zatvoren pred sinovima Izraelovim. Nitko nije izlazio niti je tko ulazio.
Now Jericho was shut up and was barred, because of the children of Israel: none went out, and none came in.
2 Tada Jahve reče Jošui: “Evo, predajem ti u ruke Jerihon i kralja njegova s ratnicima.
And Jehovah said to Joshua, See, I have given into thy hand Jericho, and the king thereof, [and] the valiant men.
3 Svi vi ratnici obiđite oko grada jedanput na dan. Tako činite šest dana.
And ye shall go round the city, all the men of war, encompassing the city once. Thus shalt thou do six days.
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 seven priests shall carry before the ark seven blast-trumpets; and on the seventh day ye shall go round the city seven times, and the priests shall blow with the trumpets.
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 it shall come to pass when they make a long blast with the blast-horn, that all the people on hearing the sound of the trumpet shall shout with a great shout; and the wall of the city shall fall flat, and the people shall go up, each one straight before him.
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 Nun called the priests, and said to them, Carry the ark of the covenant, and seven priests shall carry seven blast-trumpets before the ark of Jehovah.
7 A narodu reče: “Pođite i obiđite oko grada, a ratnici neka idu pred Kovčegom Jahvinim.”
And he said to the people, Pass on, go round the city, and they that are armed shall pass on before the ark of Jehovah.
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.
And it came to pass when Joshua had spoken to the people, that the seven priests carrying the seven blast-trumpets before Jehovah passed on and blew with the trumpets; and the ark of the covenant of Jehovah went after them.
9 Ratnici pođoše pred svećenicima koji su trubili u trube, a zalaznica krenu za Kovčegom. Stupali su tako dok se glas truba razlijegao.
And the armed men went before the priests who blew with the trumpets, and the rearguard came after the ark; they blew with the trumpets in marching.
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 had commanded the people, saying, Ye shall not shout, nor let your voice be heard, neither shall a word proceed out of your mouth, until the day I say to you, Shout; then shall ye shout.
11 I naredi da Kovčeg Jahvin obiđe jednom oko grada pa da se vrate u tabor i ondje prenoće.
And the ark of Jehovah went round the city, encompassing [it] once; and they came into the camp, and lodged in the camp.
12 Sutradan urani Jošua, a svećenici ponesu Kovčeg saveza.
And Joshua rose early in the morning, and the priests carried the ark of Jehovah.
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 carrying the seven blast-trumpets before the ark of Jehovah went on and blew continually with the trumpets; and the armed men went before them, and the rearguard went after the ark of Jehovah; they blew with the trumpets in marching.
14 Tako i drugog dana obiđu jednom oko grada pa se vrate natrag u tabor. Tako su činili šest dana.
And on the second day they went round the city once, and returned into the camp. So 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 it was so that on the seventh day they rose early, about the morning-dawn, and went round the city after the same manner seven times; only on that day they went round the city 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 the seventh time, when the priests blew with the trumpets, that Joshua said to the people, Shout; for Jehovah 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 accursed, it and all that is in it, to Jehovah; only Rahab the harlot shall live, she and all that are with her in the house, because she hid the messengers that we sent.
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 in any wise keep from the accursed thing, lest ye make [yourselves] accursed in taking of the accursed thing, and make the camp of Israel a curse, and trouble it.
19 Zato sve srebro i zlato, sve bakreno i željezno posuđe neka bude posvećeno Jahvi i pohranjeno u riznicu.”
And all the silver, and gold, and vessels of copper and iron, shall be holy to Jehovah; they shall come into the treasury of Jehovah.
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 people shouted, and they blew with the trumpets. And it came to pass when the people heard the sound of the trumpets, and the people shouted with a great shout, that the wall fell down flat; and the people went up into the city, each one straight before him, and they took 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 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.
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 men that had spied out the country, Go into the harlot's house and bring out thence the woman, and all that she has, as ye swore unto her.
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 young men, the spies, went in and brought out Rahab, and her father, and her mother, and her brethren, and all that she had: all her kindred did they bring out, and they left them outside 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 they burned the city with fire, and all that was therein; only the silver, and the gold, and the vessels of copper and of iron, they put into the treasury of the house of Jehovah.
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 Rahab the harlot, and her father's household, and all that she had, and she dwelt in the midst of Israel to this day; because she hid the messengers whom Joshua had 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 swore at that time, saying, Cursed be the man before Jehovah who shall rise up and build this city Jericho! In his first-born shall he lay its foundation, and in his youngest son shall he set up its gates.
27 Jahve je bio s Jošuom te se pronio glas o njemu po svoj zemlji.
And Jehovah was with Joshua; and his fame was in all the land.
