Joshua 6
1 Now Jericho was shut up and was barred, because of the children of Israel: none went out, and none came in.
Pada waktu itu, pintu gerbang kota Yeriko ditutup rapat dan dijaga ketat karena orang Yeriko takut kepada orang Israel. Tidak seorang pun boleh keluar ataupun masuk.
2 And Jehovah said to Joshua, See, I have given into thy hand Jericho, and the king thereof, [and] the valiant men.
TUHAN berkata kepada Yosua, “Lihat, Aku menyerahkan Yeriko kepadamu, beserta rajanya dan para panglimanya.
3 And ye shall go round the city, all the men of war, encompassing the city once. Thus shalt thou do six days.
Selama enam hari, kamu dan pasukanmu harus mengelilingi kota ini satu kali sehari.
4 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.
Perintahkan tujuh orang imam untuk berjalan di depan para imam yang mengangkat peti perjanjian, masing-masing membawa terompet dari tanduk domba. Pada hari yang ketujuh, kelilingilah kota itu tujuh kali, sementara para imam meniup terompet.
5 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.
Saat mendengar terompet berbunyi panjang, kalian semua harus berteriak dengan nyaring. Tembok kota itu akan runtuh, dan kalian masing-masing harus memanjat reruntuhan tembok di depanmu lalu masuk kota itu.”
6 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.
Maka Yosua memanggil para imam lalu memerintahkan mereka, “Angkatlah peti perjanjian TUHAN. Tujuh orang imam harus berjalan di depannya, masing-masing membawa terompet dari tanduk domba.”
7 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.
Yosua juga berkata kepada pasukannya, “Majulah dan berjalanlah mengelilingi kota itu, dengan pasukan bersenjata berjalan di depan peti perjanjian.”
8 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.
Sesudah Yosua memberikan perintah, mulailah pasukan bersenjata berjalan di depan, diikuti oleh ketujuh imam yang meniup terompet, lalu para imam yang membawa peti perjanjian TUHAN, dan pasukan selebihnya di belakang.
9 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 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.
Yosua sudah memerintahkan pasukan itu, “Jangan berteriak ataupun mengeluarkan suara. Jangan mengatakan apa pun juga sampai pada hari ketika saya menyuruh kalian berteriak. Pada waktu itu barulah kalian harus berteriak!”
11 And the ark of Jehovah went round the city, encompassing [it] once; and they came into the camp, and lodged in the camp.
Maka mereka membawa peti perjanjian mengelilingi kota itu satu kali. Kemudian mereka kembali ke perkemahan dan bermalam di situ.
12 And Joshua rose early in the morning, and the priests carried the ark of Jehovah.
Besoknya, Yosua bangun pagi-pagi sekali. Dan seperti sebelumnya, para imam bersama pasukan kembali mengelilingi kota itu. Pasukan bersenjata di depan, diikuti oleh tujuh imam yang meniup terompet terus menerus, lalu para imam yang mengangkat peti perjanjian TUHAN, dan pasukan selebihnya di belakang.
13 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 And on the second day they went round the city once, and returned into the camp. So they did six days.
Di hari kedua, mereka kembali mengelilingi kota itu satu kali, lalu kembali ke perkemahan. Hal itu mereka lakukan selama enam hari berturut-turut.
15 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.
Pada hari yang ketujuh, mereka bangun pagi sekali dan mengelilingi kota itu seperti sebelumnya, hanya saja kali ini mereka mengelilinginya tujuh kali.
16 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.
Pada putaran yang ketujuh, para imam meniup terompet tanduk dan Yosua berkata kepada pasukan, “Bersoraklah, karena TUHAN sudah memberikan kota ini kepada kalian!
17 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.
Yeriko dan segala isinya harus dimusnahkan sebagai persembahan bagi TUHAN. Hanya Rahab, pelacur itu, dan semua orang di rumahnya yang dibiarkan hidup, karena dia sudah menyembunyikan mata-mata kita.
18 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.
“Jangan mengambil apa pun yang harus dimusnahkan. Kalau kalian mengambil sesuatu, perkemahan kita sendiri akan dihancurkan dan kita akan ditimpa musibah.
19 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.
Semua perak dan emas, serta barang-barang dari perunggu dan besi, adalah milik TUHAN. Semua itu harus dibawa ke tempat penyimpanan harta milik TUHAN.”
20 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.
Ketika orang Israel mendengar bunyi terompet, mereka berteriak sangat keras. Lalu tembok Yeriko runtuh dan seluruh pasukan menyerbu masuk ke dalam kota itu dan menguasainya.
21 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.
Mereka membunuh semua yang ada di kota itu, baik laki-laki maupun perempuan, tua maupun muda, bahkan semua ternak sapi, domba, dan keledai.
22 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.
Sebelumnya, Yosua sudah berkata kepada dua mata-mata yang menyelidiki negeri itu, “Masuklah ke rumah pelacur itu dan bawalah dia keluar bersama seluruh keluarganya, seperti yang sudah kalian janjikan kepadanya.”
23 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.
Maka kedua mata-mata muda itu pergi dan membawa Rahab keluar bersama ayahnya, ibu, saudara-saudara, dan semua sanak saudara yang bersama dia ke tempat aman di dekat perkemahan orang Israel.
24 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.
Lalu orang Israel membakar kota itu dan semua yang ada di dalamnya, kecuali perak, emas, dan barang-barang dari perunggu dan besi. Mereka mengambil barang-barang itu untuk disimpan di tempat penyimpanan harta milik TUHAN.
25 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.
Tetapi Yosua membiarkan Rahab, pelacur itu, dan keluarganya yang bersama dengan dia tetap hidup. Keturunan Rahab tinggal di antara orang Israel sampai kitab ini ditulis karena dia menyembunyikan mata-mata yang diutus Yosua ke Yeriko.
26 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.
Pada waktu itu Yosua memberi peringatan keras, “Siapa pun yang berusaha membangun kembali kota Yeriko akan dikutuk oleh TUHAN. Dia akan kehilangan anak sulungnya saat meletakkan fondasi benteng kota dan akan kehilangan anak bungsunya saat mendirikan pintu gerbangnya!”
27 And Jehovah was with Joshua; and his fame was in all the land.
TUHAN menyertai Yosua dan menjadikan dia terkenal di seluruh negeri itu.
