Josua 6
1 Men Jeriko var lukket og stængt for Israeliterne, ingen gik ud eller ind.
Now Jericho was shut up tight because of the sons of Israel. None went out, and none came in.
2 Da sagde HERREN til Josua: »Se, jeg giver Jeriko og dets Konge og Krigere i din Haand.
And Jehovah said to Joshua, See, I have given Jericho into thy hand, and the king of it, and the mighty men of valor.
3 Alle eders vaabenføre Mænd skal gaa rundt om Byen, een Gang rundt; det skal I gøre seks Dage;
And ye shall encompass the city, all the men of war, going around the city once. Thus shall thou do six days.
4 og syv Præster skal bære syv Væderhorn foran Arken. Men den syvende Dag skal I gaa rundt om Byen syv Gange, og Præsterne skal støde i Hornene.
And seven priests shall bear seven trumpets of rams' horns before the ark. And the seventh day ye shall encompass the city seven times, and the priests shall blow the trumpets.
5 Naar der saa blæses i Væderhornet, og I hører Hornets Lyd, skal alt Folket opløfte et vældigt Krigsskrig; saa skal Byens Mur styrte sammen, og Folket kan gaa lige ind, hver fra sin Plads.«
And it shall be, 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 go up every man straight before him.
6 Josua, Nuns Søn, lod da Præsterne kalde og sagde til dem: »I skal bære Pagtens Ark, og syv Præster skal bære syv Væderhorn foran HERRENS Ark!«
And Joshua the son of Nun called the priests, and said to them, Take up the ark of the covenant, and let seven priests bear seven trumpets of rams' horns before the ark of Jehovah.
7 Og han sagde til Folket: »Drag ud og gaa rundt om Byen, saaledes at de, som bærer Vaaben, gaar foran HERRENS Ark!«
And they said to the people, Pass on, and encompass the city, and let the armed men pass on before the ark of Jehovah.
8 Da nu Josua havde talt til Folket, gik de syv Præster, som bar de syv Væderhorn foran HERREN, frem og stødte i Hornene, medens HERRENS Pagts Ark fulgte efter;
And it was so, that, when Joshua had spoken to the people, the seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams' horns before Jehovah passed on, and blew the trumpets. And the ark of the covenant of Jehovah followed them.
9 og de, som bar Vaaben, gik foran Præsterne, som stødte i Hornene, og de, som sluttede Toget, fulgte efter Arken, medens der blæstes i Hornene.
And the armed men went before the priests who blew the trumpets, and the rearward went behind the ark, the priests blowing the trumpets as they went.
10 Men Josua bød Folket: »I maa ikke opløfte Krigsskrig eller lade eders Røst høre, og intet Ord maa udgaa af eders Mund, før den Dag jeg siger til eder: Raab! Men saa skal I raabe!«
And Joshua commanded the people, saying, Ye shall not shout, nor let your voice be heard, neither shall any word proceed out of your mouth until the day I bid you shout. Then ye shall shout.
11 Saa lod han HERRENS Ark bære rundt om Byen, een Gang rundt, og derpaa begav de sig tilbage til Lejren og overnattede der.
So he caused the ark of Jehovah to encompass the city, going around it once. And they came into the camp, and lodged in the camp.
12 Tidligt næste Morgen gjorde Josua sig rede, og Præsterne bar HERRENS Ark,
And Joshua rose early in the morning, and the priests took up the ark of Jehovah.
13 og de syv Præster, som bar de syv Væderhorn foran HERRENS Ark, gik og stødte i Hornene; de, som bar Vaaben, gik foran dem, og de, som sluttede Toget, fulgte efter HERRENS Ark, medens der blæstes i Hornene.
And the seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams' horns before the ark of Jehovah went on continually, and blew the trumpets. And the armed men went before them, and the rearward came behind the ark of Jehovah, the priests blowing the trumpets as they went.
14 Anden Dag gik de een Gang rundt om Byen, hvorefter de vendte tilbage til Lejren; saaledes gjorde de seks Dage.
And the second day they encompassed the city once, and returned into the camp. So they did six days.
15 Men den syvende Dag brød de op tidligt, ved Morgenrødens Frembrud og gik paa samme Maade syv Gange rundt om Byen; kun paa denne Dag drog de syv Gange rundt om Byen;
And it came to pass on the seventh day, that they rose early at the dawning of the day, and encompassed the city according to the same manner seven times. Only on that day they encompassed the city seven times.
16 og syvende Gang stødte Præsterne i Hornene, og Josua sagde til Folket: »Opløft Krigsskriget! Thi HERREN har givet eder Byen.
And it came to pass at the seventh time, when the priests blew the trumpets, Joshua said to the people, Shout, for Jehovah has given you the city.
17 Og Byen skal lyses i Band for HERREN med alt, hvad der er i den; kun Skøgen Rahab skal blive i Live tillige med alle dem, som er i hendes Hus, fordi hun skjulte Sendebudene, som vi udsendte.
And the city shall be set apart, even it and all that is in it, to Jehovah. Only Rahab the harlot shall live, she and all who are with her in the house, because she hid the messengers that we sent.
18 Men I skal tage eder vel i Vare for det bandlyste, saa I ikke attraar og tager noget af det bandlyste og derved bringer Bandet over Israels lejr og styrter den i Ulykke.
But as for you, only keep yourselves from what is set apart, lest when ye have set it apart, ye take from what is set apart. So ye would make the camp of Israel accursed, and trouble it.
19 Men alt Sølv og Guld og alle Kobber og Jernsager skal helliges HERREN; det skal bringes ind i HERRENS Skatkammer!«
But all the silver, and gold, and vessels of brass and iron, are holy to Jehovah. They shall come into the treasury of Jehovah.
20 Saa opløftede Folket Krigsskrig, og de stødte i Hornene og da Folket hørte Hornene, opløftede det et vældigt Krigsskrig; da styrtede Muren sammen, og Folket gik lige ind i Byen; saaledes indtog de Byen.
So the people shouted, and the priests blew the trumpets. And it came to pass, when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, that the people shouted with a great shout, and the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they took the city.
21 Derpaa lagde de med Sværdet Band paa alt, hvad der var i Byen, Mænd og Kvinder, unge og gamle, Hornkvæg, Smaakvæg og Æsler.
And they utterly destroyed all that was in the city, both man and woman, both young and old, and ox, and sheep, and donkey, with the edge of the sword.
22 Men til de to Mænd, som havde udspejdet Landet, sagde Josua: »Gaa ind i Skøgens Hus og før Kvinden og alt, hvad hendes er, ud derfra, som I tilsvor hende!«
And Joshua said to the two men who had spied out the land, Go into the harlot's house, and bring out from there the woman, and all that she has, as ye swore to her.
23 De unge Mænd, som havde været Spejdere, gik da ind og førte Rahab ud tillige med hendes Fader og Moder og hendes Brødre, hele hendes Slægt og alt, hvad hendes var; de førte dem ud og lod dem staa uden for Israels Lejr.
And the young men, the spies, went in, and brought out Rahab, and her father, and her mother, and her brothers, and all that she had. They also brought out all her kindred, and they set them outside the camp of Israel.
24 Men paa Byen og alt, hvad der var i den, stak de Ild; kun Sølvet og Guldet og Kobber og Jernsagerne bragte de ind i HERRENS Hus's Skatkammer.
And they burnt the city with fire, and all that was in it. Only the silver, and the gold, and the vessels of brass and of iron, they put into the treasury of the house of Jehovah.
25 Men Skøgen Rahab og hendes Fædrenehus og alt, hvad hendes var, lod Josua blive i Live, og hun kom til at bo blandt Israeliterne og gør det den Dag i Dag, fordi hun havde skjult Sendebudene, som Josua havde sendt ud for at udspejde Jeriko.
But 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 sent to spy out Jericho.
26 Paa den Tid tog Josua Folket i Ed, idet han sagde: »Forbandet være den Mand for HERRENS Aasyn, som indlader sig paa at opbygge denne By, Jeriko. Det skal koste ham hans førstefødte at lægge Grunden og hans yngste at sætte dens Portfløje ind.«
And Joshua charged them with an oath at that time, saying, Cursed be the man before Jehovah who rises up and builds this city Jericho. With the loss of his firstborn he shall lay the foundation of it, and with the loss of his youngest son he shall set up the gates of it.
27 Saaledes var HERREN med Josua, og hans Ry udbredte sig over hele Landet.
So Jehovah was with Joshua, and his fame was in all the land.
