Joshua 6
1 Now Jericho was straitly shut up because of the children of Israel: none went out, and none came in.
Iericho autem clausa erat atque munita, timore filiorum Israel, et nullus egredi audebat aut ingredi.
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.
Dixitque Dominus ad Iosue: Ecce dedi in manus tuas Iericho, et regem eius, omnesque fortes viros.
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.
Circuite urbem cuncti bellatores semel per diem: sic facietis sex diebus.
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.
Septimo autem die sacerdotes tollent septem buccinas, quarum usus est in iubilaeo, et praecedant arcam foederis: septiesque circuibitis civitatem, et sacerdotes clangent buccinis.
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.
Cumque insonuerit vox tubae 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 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.
Vocavit ergo Iosue filius Nun sacerdotes, et dixit ad eos: Tollite arcam foederis: et septem alii sacerdotes tollant septem iubilaeorum buccinas, et incedant ante arcam Domini.
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.
Ad populum quoque ait: Ite, et circuite civitatem, armati, praecedentes arcam Domini.
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.
Cumque Iosue verba finisset, et septem sacerdotes septem buccinis clangerent ante arcam foederis Domini,
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.
omnisque praecederet armatus exercitus, reliquum vulgus arcam sequebatur, ac buccinis omnia concrepabant.
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.
Praeceperat 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 ark of the LORD compassed the city, going about [it] once: and they came into the camp, and lodged in the camp.
Circuivit ergo arca Domini civitatem semel per diem, et reversa in castra, mansit ibi.
12 And Joshua rose early in the morning, and the priests took up the ark of the LORD.
Igitur Iosue de nocte consurgente, tulerunt sacerdotes arcam Domini,
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.
et septem ex eis septem buccinas, quarum in iubileo usus est: praecedebantque 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 city once, and returned into the camp: so they did six days.
Circuieruntque civitatem secundo die semel, et reversi sunt in castra. Sic fecerunt sex diebus.
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.
Dies autem septimo, diluculo consurgentes, circuierunt urbem, sicut dispositum erat, septies.
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.
Cumque septimo circuitu clangerent buccinis sacerdotes, dixit Iosue ad omnem Israel: Vociferamini: tradidit enim vobis Dominus civitatem:
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.
sitque civitas haec anathema: et omnia quae in ea sunt, Domino. sola Rahab meretrix vivat cum universis, qui cum ea in domo sunt: abscondit enim nuncios quos direximus.
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.
Vos autem cavete ne de his, quae praecepta sunt, quippiam contingatis, et sitis praevaricationis rei, et omnia castra Israel sub peccato sint atque turbentur.
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.
Quidquid autem auri aut argenti fuerit, et vasorum aeneorum ac ferri, Domino consecretur, repositum in thesauris eius.
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.
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 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.
et interfecerunt omnia quae 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 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.
Duobus autem viris, qui exploratores missi fuerant, dixit Iosue: Ingredimini domum mulieris meretricis, et producite eam, et omnia quae illius sunt, sicut illi iuramento firmastis.
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.
Ingressique iuvenes, eduxerunt Rahab, et parentes eius, fratres quoque, et cunctam supellectilem ac cognationem illius, et extra castra Israel manere fecerunt.
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.
Urbem autem, et omnia, quae inventa sunt in ea, succenderunt; absque auro et argento, et vasis aeneis, ac ferro, quae in aerarium Domini consecrarunt.
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.
Rahab vero meretricem, et domum patris eius, et omnia quae habebat, fecit Iosue vivere, et habitaverunt in medio Israel usque in praesentem diem: eo quod absconderit nuncios, quos miserat ut explorarent Iericho. In tempore illo, imprecatus est Iosue, dicens:
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.
Maledictus vir coram Domino, qui suscitaverit et aedificaverit civitatem Iericho. In primogenito suo fundamenta illius iaciat, et in novissimo liberorum ponat portas eius.
27 So the LORD was with Joshua; and his fame was [noised] throughout all the country.
Fuit ergo Dominus cum Iosue, et nomen eius vulgatum est in omni terra.
