< Joshua 6 >

1 Now Jericho was straitly shut up 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 YHWH said unto Joshua, See, I have given into thine hand Jericho, and the king thereof, and the mighty men of valour.
Gospod je rekel Józuetu: »Poglej, v tvojo roko sem izročil Jeriho in njenega kralja in močne junaške može.
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.
Obdali boste mesto, vsi vi bojevniki in enkrat obhodili mesto. Tako boste počeli šest dni.
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.
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, 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.
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 unto them, Take up the ark of the covenant, and let seven priests bear seven trumpets of rams' horns before the ark of YHWH.
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 unto the people, Pass on, and compass the city, and let him that is armed pass on before the ark of YHWH.
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 unto the people, that the seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams' horns passed on before YHWH, and blew with the trumpets: and the ark of the covenant of YHWH followed 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 that blew with the trumpets, and the rereward came after the ark, the priests going on, and blowing with the trumpets.
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 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.
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 So the ark of YHWH compassed the city, going about 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 took up the ark of YHWH.
Józue je vstal zgodaj zjutraj in duhovniki so dvignili Gospodovo skrinjo.
13 And seven priests bearing seven trumpets of rams' horns before the ark of YHWH went on continually, and blew with the trumpets: and the armed men went before them; but the rereward came after the ark of YHWH, the priests going on, and blowing with the trumpets.
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 the second day they compassed 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 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.
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 at the seventh time, when the priests blew with the trumpets, Joshua said unto the people, Shout; for YHWH hath 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, even it, and all that are therein, to YHWH: 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 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.
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 But all the silver, and gold, and vessels of brass and iron, are consecrated unto YHWH: they shall come into the treasury of YHWH.
Toda vse srebro, zlato in posode iz brona in železa so posvečeni Gospodu. Pridejo naj v Gospodovo zakladnico.«
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.
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 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.
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 that were spies went in, and brought 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.
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 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 YHWH.
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 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.
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 adjured them at that time, saying, Cursed be the man before YHWH, 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.
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 So YHWH was with Joshua; and his fame was noised throughout all the country.
Tako je bil Gospod z Józuetom in njegova slava je bila razglašena po vsej deželi.
