Joshua 6
1 Now Iericho was shut vp, and closed, because of the children of Israel: none might go out nor enter in.
Iericho autem clausa erat atque munita, timore filiorum Israel, et nullus egredi audebat aut ingredi.
2 And the Lord saide vnto Ioshua, Behold, I haue giuen into thine hand Iericho and the King thereof, and the strong men of warre.
Dixitque Dominus ad Iosue: Ecce dedi in manu tua Iericho, et regem eius, omnesque fortes viros.
3 All ye therefore that be men of warre, shall compasse the citie, in going round about the citie once: thus shall you doe sixe dayes:
Circuite urbem cuncti bellatores semel per diem: sic facietis sex diebus.
4 And seuen Priests shall beare seuen trumpets of rams hornes before the Arke: and the seuenth day ye shall compasse the citie seuen times, and the Priests shall blow with the trumpets.
Septimo autem die sacerdotes tollant septem buccinas, quarum usus est in iubilæo, et præcedant arcam fœderis: septiesque circuibitis civitatem, et sacerdotes clangent buccinis.
5 And when they make a long blast with the rams horne, and ye heare the sound of the trumpet, al the people shall shoute with a great shoute: then shall the wall of the citie fall downe flat, and the people shall ascend vp, euery man streight before him.
Cumque insonuerit vox tubæ longior atque concisior, et in auribus vestris increpuerit, conclamabit omnis populus vociferatione maxima, et muri funditus corruent civitatis, ingredienturque singuli per locum contra quem steterint.
6 Then, Ioshua the sonne of Nun called the Priests and said vnto them, Take vp the Arke of the couenant, and let seuen Priests beare seuen trumpets of rams hornes before the Arke of the Lord.
Vocavit ergo Iosue filius Nun sacerdotes, et dixit ad eos: Tollite arcam fœderis: et septem alii sacerdotes tollant septem iubilæorum buccinas, et incedant ante arcam Domini.
7 But he said vnto the people, Goe and compasse the citie: and let him that is armed, go forth before the Arke of the Lord.
Ad populum quoque ait: Ite, et circuite civitatem, armati, præcedentes arcam Domini.
8 And when Ioshua had spoken vnto the people, the seuen Priestes bare the seuen trumpets of rams hornes, and went foorth before the Arke of the Lord, and blew with the trumpets, and the Arke of the couenant of ye Lord followed them.
Cumque Iosue verba finisset, et septem sacerdotes septem buccinis clangerent ante arcam fœderis Domini,
9 And the men of armes went before the Priestes, that blewe the trumpets: then the gathering hoste came after the Arke, as they went and blewe the trumpets.
omnisque præcederet armatus exercitus, reliquum vulgus arcam sequebatur, ac buccinis omnia concrepabant.
10 (Nowe Ioshua had commanded the people, saying, Ye shall nor shout, neither make any noyse with your voyce, neither shall a worde proceede out of your mouth, vntill the day that I say vnto you, Shout, then shall ye shoute)
Præceperat autem Iosue populo, dicens: Non clamabitis, nec audietur vox vestra, neque ullus sermo ex ore vestro egredietur: donec veniat dies in quo dicam vobis: Clamate, et vociferamini.
11 So the Arke of the Lord compassed the citie, and went about it once: then they returned into the hoaste, and lodged in the campe.
Circuivit ergo arca Domini civitatem semel per diem, et reversa in castra, mansit ibi.
12 And Ioshua rose early in the morning, and the Priestes bare the Arke of the Lord:
Igitur Iosue de nocte consurgente, tulerunt sacerdotes arcam Domini,
13 Also seuen Priests bare seuen trumpets of rams hornes, and went before the Arke of the Lord, and going blewe with the trumpets: and the men of armes went before them, but the gathering hoste came after the Arke of the Lord, as they went and blewe the trumpets.
et septem ex eis septem buccinas, quarum in iubileo usus est: præcedebantque arcam Domini ambulantes atque clangentes: et armatus populus ibat ante eos, vulgus autem reliquum sequebatur arcam, et buccinis personabat.
14 And the second day they compassed the citie once, and returned into the host: thus they did sixe dayes.
Circuieruntque civitatem secundo die semel, et reversi sunt in castra. Sic fecerunt sex diebus.
15 And when the seuenth day came, they rose early, euen with the dawning of the day, and compassed the citie after ye same maner seuen times: only that day they compassed the citie seuen times.
Dies autem septimo, diluculo consurgentes, circuierunt urbem, sicut dispositum erat, septies.
16 And when the Priests had blowen ye trumpets the seuenth time, Ioshua said vnto ye people, Shoute: for the Lord hath giuen you the citie.
Cumque septimo circuitu clangerent buccinis sacerdotes, dixit Iosue ad omnem Israel: Vociferamini: tradidit enim vobis Dominus civitatem:
17 And the citie shalbe an execrable thing, both it, and all that are therein, vnto the Lord: onely Rahab the harlot shall liue, shee, and all that are with her in the house: for shee hid the messengers that we sent.
sitque civitas hæc anathema: et omnia quæ in ea sunt, Domino. sola Rahab meretrix vivat cum universis, qui cum ea in domo sunt: abscondit enim nuncios quos direximus.
18 Notwithstanding, be ye ware of the execrable thing, lest ye make your selues execrable, and in taking of the execrable thing, make also the hoste of Israel execrable, and trouble it.
Vos autem cavete ne de his, quæ præcepta sunt, quippiam contingatis, et sitis prævaricationis rei, et omnia castra Israel sub peccato sint atque turbentur.
19 But all siluer, and gold, and vessels of brasse, and yron shalbe consecrate vnto the Lord, and shall come into the Lordes treasury.
Quidquid autem auri et argenti fuerit, et vasorum æneorum ac ferri, Domino consecretur, repositum in thesauris eius.
20 So the people shouted, whe they had blowen trumpets: for when the people had heard the sound of the trumpet, they shouted with a great shoute: and the wall fel downe flat: so the people went vp into the citie, euery man streight before him: and they tooke the citie.
Igitur omni populo vociferante, et clangentibus tubis, postquam in aures multitudinis vox sonitusque increpuit, muri illico corruerunt: et ascendit unusquisque per locum, qui contra se erat: ceperuntque civitatem,
21 And they vtterly destroyed all that was in the citie, both man and woman, yong, and olde, and oxe, and sheepe, and asse, with the edge of the sword.
et interfecerunt omnia quæ erant in ea, a viro usque ad mulierem, ab infante usque ad senem. Boves quoque et oves et asinos in ore gladii percusserunt.
22 But Ioshua had said vnto the two men that had spied out the countrey, Go into the harlots house, and bring out thence the woman, and all that she hath, as ye sware to her.
Duobus autem viris, qui exploratores missi fuerant, dixit Iosue: Ingredimini domum mulieris meretricis, et producite eam, et omnia quæ illius sunt, sicut illi iuramento firmastis.
23 So the yong men that were spies, went in, and brought out Rahab, and her father, and her mother, and her brethren, and all that shee had: also they brought out all her familie, and put them without the host of Israel.
Ingressique iuvenes, eduxerunt Rahab, et parentes eius, fratres quoque, et cunctam supellectilem ac cognationem illius, et extra castra Israel manere fecerunt.
24 After they burnt the citie with fire, and all that was therein: onely the siluer and the gold, and the vessels of brasse and yron, they put vnto the treasure of the house of the Lord.
Urbem autem, et omnia, quæ erant in ea, succenderunt; absque auro et argento, et vasis æneis, ac ferro, quæ in ærarium Domini consecrarunt.
25 So Ioshua saued Rahab the harlot, and her fathers houshold, and all that shee had; and shee dwelt in Israel euen vnto this day, because shee had hid the messengers, which Ioshua sent to spie out Iericho.
Rahab vero meretricem, et domum patris eius, et omnia quæ habebat, fecit Iosue vivere, et habitaverunt in medio Israel usque in præsentem diem: eo quod absconderit nuncios, quos miserat ut explorarent Iericho. In tempore illo, imprecatus est Iosue, dicens:
26 And Ioshua sware at that time, saying, Cursed be the man before ye Lord, that riseth vp, and buildeth this citie Iericho: hee shall lay the foundation thereof in his eldest sonne, and in his yongest sonne shall hee set vp the gates of it.
Maledictus vir coram Domino, qui suscitaverit et ædificaverit civitatem Iericho. In primogenito suo fundamenta illius iaciat, et in novissimo liberorum ponat portas eius.
27 So the Lord was with Ioshua, and he was famous through all the world.
Fuit ergo Dominus cum Iosue, et nomen eius vulgatum est in omni terra.
