Joshua 6
1 Now Jericho was close shut up and fenced, for fear of the children of Israel, and no man durst go out or come in.
Men Jeriko var lukket og stængt for Israeliterne, ingen gik ud eller ind.
2 And the Lord said to Josue: Behold I have given into thy hands Jericho, and the king thereof, and all the valiant men.
Da sagde HERREN til Josua: »Se, jeg giver Jeriko og dets Konge og Krigere i din Haand.
3 Go round about the city, all ye fighting men, once a day: so shall ye do for six days.
Alle eders vaabenføre Mænd skal gaa rundt om Byen, een Gang rundt; det skal I gøre seks Dage;
4 And on the seventh day the priests shall take the seven trumpets, which are used in the jubilee, and shall go before the ark of the covenant: and you shall go about the city seven times, and the priests shall sound the trumpets.
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.
5 And when the voice of the trumpet shall give a longer and broken tune, and shall sound in your ears, all the people shall shout together with a very great shout, and the walls of the city shall fall to the ground, and they shall enter in every one at the place against which they shall stand.
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.«
6 Then Josue the son of Nun called the priests, and said to them: Take the ark of the covenant: and let seven other priests take the seven trumpets of the jubilee, and march before the ark of the Lord.
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!«
7 And he said to the people: Go, and compass the city, armed, marching before the ark of the Lord.
Og han sagde til Folket: »Drag ud og gaa rundt om Byen, saaledes at de, som bærer Vaaben, gaar foran HERRENS Ark!«
8 And when Josue had ended his words, and the seven priests blew the seven trumpets before the ark of the covenant of the Lord,
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;
9 And all the armed men went before, the rest of the common people followed the ark, and the sound of the trumpets was heard on all sides.
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.
10 But Josue had commanded the people, saying: You shall not shout, nor shall your voice be heard, nor any word go out of your mouth: until the day come wherein I shall say to you: Cry, and shout.
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!«
11 So the ark of the Lord went about the city once a day, and returning into the camp, abode there.
Saa lod han HERRENS Ark bære rundt om Byen, een Gang rundt, og derpaa begav de sig tilbage til Lejren og overnattede der.
12 And Josue rising before day, the priests took the ark of the Lord,
Tidligt næste Morgen gjorde Josua sig rede, og Præsterne bar HERRENS Ark,
13 And seven of them seven trumpets, which are used in the jubilee: and they went before the ark of the Lord walking and sounding the trumpets: and the armed men went before them, and the rest of the common people followed the ark, and they blew the trumpets.
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.
14 And they went round about the city the second day once, and returned into the camp. So they did six days.
Anden Dag gik de een Gang rundt om Byen, hvorefter de vendte tilbage til Lejren; saaledes gjorde de seks Dage.
15 But the seventh day, rising up early, they went about the city, as it was ordered, seven times.
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;
16 And when in the seventh going about the priests sounded with the trumpets, Josue said to all Israel: Shout: for the Lord hath delivered the city to you:
og syvende Gang stødte Præsterne i Hornene, og Josua sagde til Folket: »Opløft Krigsskriget! Thi HERREN har givet eder Byen.
17 And let this city be an anathema, and all things that are in it, to the Lord. Let only Rahab the harlot live, with all that are with her in the house: for she hid the messengers whom we sent.
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.
18 But beware ye lest you touch ought of those things that are forbidden, and you be guilty of transgression, and all the camp of Israel be under sin, and be troubled.
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.
19 But whatsoever gold or silver there shall be, or vessels of brass and iron, let it be consecrated to the Lord, laid up in his treasures.
Men alt Sølv og Guld og alle Kobber og Jernsager skal helliges HERREN; det skal bringes ind i HERRENS Skatkammer!«
20 So all the people making a shout, and the trumpets sounding, when the voice and the sound thundered in the ears of the multitude, the walls forthwith fell down: and every man went up by the place that was over against him: and they took the city,
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.
21 And killed all that were in it, man and woman, young and old. The oxen also and the sheep, and the asses, they slew with the edge of the sword.
Derpaa lagde de med Sværdet Band paa alt, hvad der var i Byen, Mænd og Kvinder, unge og gamle, Hornkvæg, Smaakvæg og Æsler.
22 But Josue said to the two men that had been sent for spies: Go into the harlot’s house, and bring her out, and all things that are hers, as you assured her by oath.
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!«
23 And the young men went in and brought out Rahab, and her parents, her brethren also and all her goods and her kindred, and made them to stay without the camp.
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.
24 But they burned the city, and all things that were therein; except the gold and silver, and vessels of brass and iron, which they consecrated into the treasury of the Lord.
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.
25 But Josue saved Rahab the harlot and her father’s house, and all she had, and they dwelt in the midst of Israel until this present day: because she hid the messengers whom he had sent to spy out Jericho. At that time, Josue made an imprecation, saying:
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.
26 Cursed be the man before the Lord, that shall raise up and build the city of Jericho. In his firstborn may he lay the foundation thereof, and in the last of his children set up its gates.
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.«
27 And the Lord was with Josue, and his name was noised throughout all the land.
Saaledes var HERREN med Josua, og hans Ry udbredte sig over hele Landet.
