Josua 6
1 Men Jeriko var lukket og stængt for Israeliterne, ingen gik ud eller ind.
(And Jericho shutteth itself up, and is shut up, because of the presence of the sons of Israel — none going out, and none coming in; )
2 Da sagde HERREN til Josua: »Se, jeg giver Jeriko og dets Konge og Krigere i din Haand.
And Jehovah saith unto Joshua, 'See, I have given into thy hand Jericho and its king — mighty ones of valour,
3 Alle eders vaabenføre Mænd skal gaa rundt om Byen, een Gang rundt; det skal I gøre seks Dage;
and ye have compassed the city — all the men of battle — going round the city once; thus thou dost 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 do bear seven trumpets of the jubilee before the ark, and on the seventh day ye compass the city seven times, and the priests blow with 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 hath been, in the prolongation of the horn of the jubilee, in your hearing the voice of the trumpet, all the people shout — a great shout, and the wall of the city hath fallen under it, and the people have gone up, each over-against 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 son of Nun calleth unto the priests, and saith unto them, 'Bear ye the ark of the covenant, and seven priests do bear seven trumpets of the jubilee 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 He said unto the people, 'Pass over, and compass the city, and he who is armed doth pass over 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 cometh to pass, when Joshua speaketh unto the people, that the seven priests bearing seven trumpets of the jubilee before Jehovah have passed over and blown with the trumpets, and the ark of the covenant of Jehovah is going 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.
and he who is armed is going before the priests blowing the trumpets, and he who is gathering up is going after the ark, going on and blowing with the trumpets;
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 the people hath Joshua commanded, saying, 'Ye do not shout, nor cause your voice to be heard, nor doth there go out from your mouth a word, till the day of my saying unto you, Shout ye — then ye have shouted.'
11 Saa lod han HERRENS Ark bære rundt om Byen, een Gang rundt, og derpaa begav de sig tilbage til Lejren og overnattede der.
And the ark of Jehovah doth compass the city, going round once, and they come into the camp, and lodge in the camp.
12 Tidligt næste Morgen gjorde Josua sig rede, og Præsterne bar HERRENS Ark,
And Joshua riseth early in the morning, and the priests bear 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 seven priests bearing seven trumpets of the jubilee before the ark of Jehovah are walking, going on, and they have blown with the trumpets — and he who is armed is going before them, and he who is gathering up is going behind the ark of Jehovah — going on and blowing with the trumpets.
14 Anden Dag gik de een Gang rundt om Byen, hvorefter de vendte tilbage til Lejren; saaledes gjorde de seks Dage.
And they compass the city on the second day once, and turn back to the camp; thus they have done 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 cometh to pass, on the seventh day, that they rise early, at the ascending of the dawn, and compass the city, according to this manner, seven times; (only, on that day they have compassed 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 cometh to pass, at the seventh time, the priests have blown with the trumpets, and Joshua saith unto the people, 'Shout ye, for Jehovah hath given to 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 hath been devoted, it and all that [is] in it, to Jehovah; only Rahab the harlot doth live, she and all who [are] with her in the house, for she hid the messengers whom 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.
and surely ye have kept from the devoted thing, lest ye devote [yourselves], and have taken from the devoted thing, and have made the camp of Israel become a devoted thing, and have troubled it;
19 Men alt Sølv og Guld og alle Kobber og Jernsager skal helliges HERREN; det skal bringes ind i HERRENS Skatkammer!«
and all the silver and gold, and vessels of brass and iron, holy they [are] to Jehovah; into the treasury of Jehovah they come.'
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.
And the people shout, and blow with the trumpets, and it cometh to pass when the people hear the voice of the trumpet, that the people shout — a great shout, and the wall falleth under it, and the people goeth up into the city, each over-against him, and they capture 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 devote all that [is] in the city, from man even unto woman, from young even unto aged, even unto ox, and sheep, and ass, by the mouth 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 to the two men who are spying the land Joshua said, 'Go into the house of the woman, the harlot, and bring out thence the woman, and all whom she hath, as ye have sworn 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 man, the spies, go in and bring out Rahab, and her father, and her mother, and her brethren, and all whom she hath; yea, all her families they have brought out, and place them at the outside of 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 the city they have burnt with fire, and all that [is] in it; only, the silver and the gold, and the vessels of brass, and of iron, they have given [to] 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.
and Rahab the harlot, and the house of her father, and all whom she hath, hath Joshua kept alive; and she dwelleth in the midst of Israel unto this day, for 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 adjureth [them] at that time, saying, 'Cursed [is] the man before Jehovah who raiseth up and hath built this city, [even] Jericho; in his first-born he doth lay its foundation, and in his youngest he doth set up its doors;'
27 Saaledes var HERREN med Josua, og hans Ry udbredte sig over hele Landet.
and Jehovah is with Joshua, and his fame is in all the land.
