< Joshua 6 >
1 Now Jericho was shut up and was barred, because of the children of Israel: none went out, and none came in.
Torej Jeriha je bila strogo zaprta zaradi Izraelovih otrok. Nihče ni odšel ven in nihče ni prišel noter.
2 And Jehovah said to Joshua, See, I have given into thy hand Jericho, and the king thereof, [and] the valiant men.
Gospod je rekel Józuetu: »Poglej, v tvojo roko sem izročil Jeriho in njenega kralja in močne junaške može.
3 And ye shall go round the city, all the men of war, encompassing the city once. Thus shalt thou do six days.
Obdali boste mesto, vsi vi bojevniki in enkrat obhodili mesto. Tako boste počeli šest dni.
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.
Sedem duhovnikov bo pred skrinjo nosilo sedem šofarjev iz ovnovih rogov, in sedmi dan boste sedemkrat obkrožili mesto in duhovniki bodo zatrobili s šofarji.
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.
In zgodilo se bo, da ko bodo z ovnovim rogom naredili dolgo trobljenje in ko zaslišite zvok šofarja, naj vse ljudstvo zavpije z velikim krikom in mestno obzidje bo plosko padlo dol in ljudstvo se bo povzpelo, vsak človek naravnost pred seboj.«
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.
Nunov sin Józue je poklical duhovnike ter jim rekel: »Vzdignite skrinjo zaveze in sedem duhovnikov naj pred Gospodovo skrinjo nosi sedem šofarjev iz ovnovih rogov.«
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.
Ljudstvu pa je rekel: »Pojdite naprej in obkrožite mesto in naj tisti, ki je oborožen, gre naprej pred Gospodovo skrinjo.«
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.
Pripetilo se je, ko je Józue govoril ljudstvu, da je sedem duhovnikov, nosečih sedem šofarjev iz ovnovih rogov, šlo naprej pred Gospodom in trobilo s šofarji in skrinja Gospodove zaveze jim je sledila.
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.
Oboroženi možje so šli pred duhovniki, ki so trobili na šofarje in zadnja straža je prišla za skrinjo. Duhovniki pa so hodili in trobili s šofarji.
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.
Józue je zapovedal ljudstvu, rekoč: »Ne boste kričali niti naredili nobenega hrupa z vašim glasom niti ne bo nobena beseda izšla iz vaših ust do dneva, ko vam zapovem kričati; potem boste kričali.«
11 And the ark of Jehovah went round the city, encompassing [it] once; and they came into the camp, and lodged in the camp.
Tako je Gospodova skrinja obkrožila mesto, ga enkrat obhodila in prišli so v tabor in prenočili v taboru.
12 And Joshua rose early in the morning, and the priests carried the ark of Jehovah.
Józue je vstal zgodaj zjutraj in duhovniki so dvignili Gospodovo skrinjo.
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.
Sedem duhovnikov, ki so pred Gospodovo skrinjo nosili sedem šofarjev iz ovnovih rogov, je nenehno hodilo naprej in trobilo s šofarji in oboroženi možje so šli pred njimi, toda zadnja straža je prišla za Gospodovo skrinjo, duhovniki hodeč naprej in trobeč s šofarji.
14 And on the second day they went round the city once, and returned into the camp. So they did six days.
Drugi dan so enkrat obkrožili mesto in se vrnili v tabor. Tako so počeli šest dni.
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.
Na sedmi dan se je pripetilo, da so vstali zgodaj, ob jutranjem svitanju in na isti način sedemkrat obkrožili mesto. Samo ta dan so mesto obkrožili sedemkrat.
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.
Pripetilo se je sedmič, ko so duhovniki zatrobili s šofarji, da je Józue rekel ljudstvu: »Kričite, kajti Gospod vam je dal mesto.
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.
Mesto bo prekleto Gospodu, celó to in vse, kar je v njem. Samo pocestnica Rahába bo živela, ona in vsi, ki so z njo v hiši, ker je skrila poslanca, ki smo ju poslali.
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.
Vi pa se zagotovo zadržite pred prekleto stvarjo, da se ne bi naredili preklete, ko vzamete od preklete stvari in naredite tabor Izraelcev prekletstvo in ga vznemirite.
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.
Toda vse srebro, zlato in posode iz brona in železa so posvečeni Gospodu. Pridejo naj v Gospodovo zakladnico.«
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.
Tako je ljudstvo zakričalo, ko so duhovniki zatrobili s šofarji in pripetilo se je, ko je ljudstvo zaslišalo zvok šofarja in je ljudstvo zavpilo z velikim krikom, da je obzidje plosko padlo dol, tako da je ljudstvo odšlo gor v mesto, vsak mož naravnost pred seboj in zavzeli so mesto.
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.
Popolnoma so uničili vse, kar je bilo v mestu, tako moškega kakor žensko, mladega, starega, vola, ovco in osla, z ostrino meča.
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.
Toda Józue je rekel dvema možema, ki sta ogledovala deželo: »Pojdita v hišo pocestnice in od tam privedita žensko in vse, kar ima, kakor sta ji prisegla.«
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.
Mladeniča, ki sta bila oglednika, sta vstopila in privedla ven Rahábo, njenega očeta, njeno mater, njene brate in vse, kar je imela in ven sta privedla vse njeno sorodstvo in jih pustila zunaj tabora Izraelcev.
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.
Mesto pa so požgali z ognjem in vse, kar je bilo v njem. Samo srebro, zlato in posode iz brona in iz železa, so dali v zakladnico Gospodove hiše.
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.
Józue je rešil pocestnico Rahábo živo in družino njenega očeta in vse, kar je imela. V Izraelu prebiva do današnjega dne, ker je skrila poslanca, ki ju je Józue poslal, da ogledata Jeriho.
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.
Ob tistem času jih je Józue zaprisegel, rekoč: »Preklet bodi mož pred Gospodom, ki dvigne in pozida to mesto Jeriho. Njen temelj bo položil v svojem prvorojencu in v njegovem najmlajšem sinu bo postavil njena velika vrata.«
27 And Jehovah was with Joshua; and his fame was in all the land.
Tako je bil Gospod z Józuetom in njegova slava je bila razglašena po vsej deželi.
