Joshua 6
1 NOW Jericho was straitly shut up because of the children of Israel: none went out, and none came in.
A Jerihon stajaše silno utvrđen i zatvoren pred sinovima Izraelovim. Nitko nije izlazio niti je tko ulazio.
2 And the Lord said unto Joshua, See, I have given into thine hand Jericho, and the king thereof, and the mighty men of valour.
Tada Jahve reče Jošui: “Evo, predajem ti u ruke Jerihon i kralja njegova s ratnicima.
3 And ye shall compass the city, all ye men of war, and go round about the city once. Thus shalt thou do six days.
Svi vi ratnici obiđite oko grada jedanput na dan. Tako činite šest dana.
4 And seven priests shall bear before the ark seven trumpets of rams’ horns: and the seventh day ye shall compass the city seven times, and the priests shall blow with the trumpets.
A sedam svećenika neka nose pred Kovčegom sedam truba od ovnujskih rogova. Sedmoga dana obiđite sedam puta oko grada, a svećenici neka trube u trublje.
5 And it shall come to pass, that when they make a long blast with the ram’s horn, and when ye hear the sound of the trumpet, all the people shall shout with a great shout; and the wall of the city shall fall down flat, and the people shall ascend up every man straight before him.
Pa kad otežući zatrube u rog ovnujski, neka sav narod, čim čuje glas trube, podigne silnu bojnu viku. I srušit će se gradski bedemi, a narod neka tada ulazi svaki odande gdje se nađe.”
6 And Joshua the son of Nun called the priests, and said unto them, Take up the ark of the covenant, and let seven priests bear seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the ark of the Lord.
Jošua, sin Nunov, pozva k sebi svećenike i reče im: “Uzmite Kovčeg saveza, a sedam svećenika neka ponese sedam truba od rogova ovnujskih pred Kovčegom Jahvinim.”
7 And he said unto the people, Pass on, and compass the city, and let him that is armed pass on before the ark of the Lord.
A narodu reče: “Pođite i obiđite oko grada, a ratnici neka idu pred Kovčegom Jahvinim.”
8 And it came to pass, when Joshua had spoken unto the people, that the seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams’ horns passed on before the Lord, and blew with the trumpets: and the ark of the covenant of the Lord followed them.
I bi kako je Jošua zapovjedio narodu. Pođe sedam svećenika noseći trube od rogova ovnujskih: trubili su u rogove, a Kovčeg Jahvin iđaše za njima.
9 And the armed men went before the priests that blew with the trumpets, and the rereward came after the ark, the priests going on, and blowing with the trumpets.
Ratnici pođoše pred svećenicima koji su trubili u trube, a zalaznica krenu za Kovčegom. Stupali su tako dok se glas truba razlijegao.
10 And Joshua had commanded the people, saying, Ye shall not shout, nor make any noise with your voice, neither shall any word proceed out of your mouth, until the day I bid you shout; then shall ye shout.
A narodu bijaše zapovjedio Jošua govoreći: “Ne vičite i ne dajte glasa od sebe i nijedna riječ neka se ne čuje iz vaših usta dok vam ne kažem: 'Vičite!' Tada neka odjekne bojna vika.”
11 So the ark of the Lord compassed the city, going about it once: and they came into the camp, and lodged in the camp.
I naredi da Kovčeg Jahvin obiđe jednom oko grada pa da se vrate u tabor i ondje prenoće.
12 And Joshua rose early in the morning, and the priests took up the ark of the Lord.
Sutradan urani Jošua, a svećenici ponesu Kovčeg saveza.
13 And seven priests bearing seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the ark of the Lord went on continually, and blew with the trumpets: and the armed men went before them; but the rereward came after the ark of the Lord, the priests going on, and blowing with the trumpets.
A sedam svećenika koji su nosili sedam truba od rogova ovnujskih pođu pred Kovčegom Jahvinim. Idući trubili su u trube, ratnici iđahu pred njima, a zalaznica pak za Kovčegom Jahvinim dok su trube odjekivale.
14 And the second day they compassed the city once, and returned into the camp: so they did six days.
Tako i drugog dana obiđu jednom oko grada pa se vrate natrag u tabor. Tako su činili šest dana.
15 And it came to pass on the seventh day, that they rose early about the dawning of the day, and compassed the city after the same manner seven times: only on that day they compassed the city seven times.
A sedmoga dana zorom ustanu i obiđu oko grada istim onakvim redom sedam puta. Samo su toga dana obišli oko grada sedam puta.
16 And it came to pass at the seventh time, when the priests blew with the trumpets, Joshua said unto the people, Shout; for the Lord hath given you the city.
Za sedmog obilaska snažno zatrube svećenici u rogove, a Jošua reče narodu: “Kličite bojne poklike jer vam je Jahve predao grad!
17 And the city shall be accursed, even it, and all that are therein, to the Lord: only Rahab the harlot shall live, she and all that are with her in the house, because she hid the messengers that we sent.
Grad neka bude 'herem' Jahvi - uklet i predan uništenju sa svime što je u njemu. Samo bludnica Rahaba da ostane živa i svi koji budu s njom u kući, jer je ona sakrila uhode koje smo poslali.
18 And ye, in any wise keep yourselves from the accursed thing, lest ye make yourselves accursed, when ye take of the accursed thing, and make the camp of Israel a curse, and trouble it.
A čuvajte se svega ukletog u gradu da i sami ne budete prokleti što ste uzeli ukleto, jer biste time navukli prokletstvo na tabor i unesrećili ga.
19 But all the silver, and gold, and vessels of brass and iron, are consecrated unto the Lord: they shall come into the treasury of the Lord.
Zato sve srebro i zlato, sve bakreno i željezno posuđe neka bude posvećeno Jahvi i pohranjeno u riznicu.”
20 So the people shouted when the priests blew with the trumpets: and it came to pass, when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, and the people shouted with a great shout, that the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they took the city.
Tada povika narod i odjeknuše trube. Kada se zaori glas truba i bojni povici naroda, padoše bedemi i narod prodrije u grad, svatko odande gdje se našao, i osvojiše ga.
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.
I tada izvršiše kletvu ništeći oštricom mača sve što bijaše u gradu: muško i žensko, staro i mlado, volove, ovce i magarad.
22 But Joshua had said unto 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 hath, as ye sware unto her.
A onoj dvojici što su uhodili zemlju reče Jošua: “Idite u kuću one bludnice pa izvedite ženu sa svima njezinima, kako joj se zakleste.”
23 And the young men that were spies went in, and brought out Rahab, and her father, and her mother, and her brethren, and all that she had; and they brought out all her kindred, and left them without the camp of Israel.
I mladi ljudi, uhode, odoše te izvedoše Rahabu, njezina oca i njezinu majku, braću i svu rodbinu. Izvedoše sve njezine i smjestiše ih izvan izraelskog tabora.
24 And they burnt the city with fire, and all that was therein: only the silver, and the gold, and the vessels of brass and of iron, they put into the treasury of the house of the Lord.
Spališe grad i sve što bijaše u njemu: uzeše samo srebro, zlato, tučano i željezno posuđe i staviše u riznicu Doma Jahvina.
25 And Joshua saved Rahab the harlot alive, and her father’s household, and all that she had; and she dwelleth in Israel even unto this day; because she hid the messengers, which Joshua sent to spy out Jericho.
Ali bludnicu Rahabu, svu njenu obitelj i sve njihovo poštedi Jošua. Ona ostade među Izraelcima sve do danas, jer je sakrila glasnike koje je poslao Jošua da uhode Jerihon.
26 And Joshua adjured them at that time, saying, Cursed be the man before the Lord, that riseth up and buildeth this city Jericho: he shall lay the foundation thereof in his firstborn, and in his youngest son shall he set up the gates of it.
Tada izreče Jošua ovu kletvu: “Proklet bio pred licem Jahve čovjek koji pokuša da ponovo gradi Jerihon: gradio mu temelje na svom prvencu, podizao mu vrata na svome mezimcu!”
27 So the Lord was with Joshua; and his fame was noised throughout all the country.
Jahve je bio s Jošuom te se pronio glas o njemu po svoj zemlji.
