Josua 6
1 Men Jeriko var lukket og stængt for Israeliterne, ingen gik ud eller ind.
Now all the entrances to Jericho were closed because of the army of Israel. No one went out and no one came in.
2 Da sagde HERREN til Josua: »Se, jeg giver Jeriko og dets Konge og Krigere i din Haand.
Yahweh said to Joshua, “See, I have delivered Jericho into your hand, its king, and its trained soldiers.
3 Alle eders vaabenføre Mænd skal gaa rundt om Byen, een Gang rundt; det skal I gøre seks Dage;
You must march around the city, all the men of war going around the city one time. You must do this for 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.
Seven priests must carry seven trumpets of rams' horns before the ark. On the seventh day, you must march around the city seven times, and the priests must sound blasts on 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.«
Then they must sound a long blast with the ram's horn, and when you hear the sound of the trumpet all the people must shout with a great shout, and the wall of the city will fall down flat. The soldiers must attack, each one going straight ahead.”
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!«
Then Joshua son of Nun called the priests and said to them, “Take up the ark of the covenant, and let seven priests carry seven trumpets of rams' horns in front of the ark of Yahweh.”
7 Og han sagde til Folket: »Drag ud og gaa rundt om Byen, saaledes at de, som bærer Vaaben, gaar foran HERRENS Ark!«
He said to the people, “Go over and march around the city, and the armed men will go ahead of the ark of Yahweh.”
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;
Just as Joshua had said to the people, the seven priests carried the seven trumpets of rams' horns before Yahweh. As they advanced, they gave a blast on the trumpets. The ark of the covenant of Yahweh followed after 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.
Armed men walked before the priests, and they made a blast on their trumpets, but then the rear guard walked up behind the ark, and the priests blew their trumpets continually.
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!«
But Joshua commanded the people, saying, “Do not shout. No sound must leave your mouths until the day I tell you to shout. Only then you must 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 Yahweh to go around the city one time that day. Then they entered their camp, and they stayed the night in the camp.
12 Tidligt næste Morgen gjorde Josua sig rede, og Præsterne bar HERRENS Ark,
Then Joshua got up early in the morning, and the priests picked up the ark of Yahweh.
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.
The seven priests, who were carrying the seven trumpets of rams' horns in front of the ark of Yahweh, walked steadily and gave blasts on the trumpets. Armed soldiers were walking in front of them. But when the rear guard walked after the ark of Yahweh, then the trumpets gave out continual blasts.
14 Anden Dag gik de een Gang rundt om Byen, hvorefter de vendte tilbage til Lejren; saaledes gjorde de seks Dage.
They marched around the city one time the second day and returned to the camp. They did this for 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;
It was on the seventh day that they got up early at daybreak, and they marched around the city in the same way that was their pattern, this time for seven times. It was on this day that they marched around 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.
It was on the seventh day, when the priests gave a blast with the trumpets, that Joshua commanded the people, “Shout! For Yahweh 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.
The city and all that is in it will be set apart to Yahweh for destruction. Only Rahab the prostitute will live—she and all the ones with her in her house—because she hid the men 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, be on guard about taking the things set apart for destruction, so that after you mark them for destruction, you do not then take any of them. If you do this, you will make the camp of Israel something that must be destroyed and you will bring trouble on it.
19 Men alt Sølv og Guld og alle Kobber og Jernsager skal helliges HERREN; det skal bringes ind i HERRENS Skatkammer!«
All the silver, gold, and the things made of bronze and iron are set apart to Yahweh. They must go into the treasury of Yahweh.”
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.
When they gave blasts with the trumpets, the people gave a great shout and the wall fell down flat, so every man charged straight in and captured 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.
They completely destroyed all that was in the city by the edge of the sword—man and woman, young and old, oxen, sheep and donkeys.
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!«
Then Joshua said to the two men who had spied out the land, “Go into the prostitute's house. Bring out the woman and all who are with her, as you 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.
So the young men who had been spies went in and brought Rahab out. They brought out her father, mother, brothers, and all the relatives that were with her. They brought them to a place 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.
They burned the city and everything in it. Only the silver, gold, and the vessels of bronze and iron were put into the treasury of the house of Yahweh.
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 allowed Rahab the prostitute, her father's household, and all that were with her to live. She lives in Israel to this day because she hid the men whom Joshua sent to spy on 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.«
Then Joshua commanded them at that time with an oath, and he said, “Cursed is the man in Yahweh's sight who rebuilds this city, Jericho. At the cost of his firstborn son, he will lay the foundation, and at the cost of his youngest son, he will set up its gates.”
27 Saaledes var HERREN med Josua, og hans Ry udbredte sig over hele Landet.
So Yahweh was with Joshua, and his fame spread throughout the land.
