Joshua 6
1 And Jericho shuts itself up, and is shut up, because of the presence of the sons of Israel—none going out, and none coming in.
耶利哥城門緊緊關閉，無人出入，以防以色列子民。
2 And YHWH says to Joshua, “See, I have given Jericho and its king into your hand—mighty men of valor,
上主對若蘇厄說：「看，我已將耶利哥和城中的王子，精銳的戰士，都交在你手中。
3 and you have surrounded the city—all the men of battle—going around the city once; thus you do [for] six days;
你們所有的戰士要圍繞這城轉一遭，這樣轉六天。
4 and seven priests carry seven horns of the rams before the Ark, and on the seventh day you go around the city seven times, and the priests blow with the horns,
七位司祭要帶著七個羊角號，在約櫃前面行走；但第七天，要圍繞城轉七遭，並且司祭要吹號角。
5 and it has been, in the prolonging of the horn of the ram, in your hearing the voice of the horn, all the people shout [with] a great shout, and the wall of the city has fallen under it, and the people have gone up, each straight before him.”
當羊號角吹起長聲時，你們聽見了號角的響聲時，眾百姓應當高聲喊叫；那時城牆必要坍塌，百姓個個要往前直衝。」
6 And Joshua son of Nun calls to the priests and says to them, “Carry the Ark of the Covenant, and seven priests carry seven horns of the rams before the Ark of YHWH”;
農的兒子若蘇厄將司祭召來，對他們說：「你們應抬著約櫃，七位司祭帶著七個羊角號，走在上主約櫃的前面。」
7 and He said to the people, “Pass over, and go around the city, and he who is armed passes over before the Ark of YHWH.”
然後，又對百姓說：「你們要前去圍著城轉，先鋒隊要要走在上主約櫃的前面。」
8 And it comes to pass, when Joshua speaks to the people, that the seven priests carrying seven horns of the rams before YHWH have passed over and blown with the horns, and the Ark of the Covenant of YHWH is going after them;
若蘇厄對百姓說完話以後，那七位帶著羊角號的司祭，走在上主前面，吹著號角，上主的約櫃跟在他們他們後面。
9 and he who is armed is going before the priests blowing the horns, and he who is gathering up is going after the Ark, going on and blowing with the horns;
先鋒隊走在吹號角的司祭前面，後衛隨著約櫃，一面走，一面吹號角。
10 and Joshua has commanded the people, saying, “Do not shout, nor cause your voice to be heard, nor does a word go out from your mouth, until the day of my saying to you, Shout! Then you have shouted.”
若蘇厄向百姓下令說：「你們不可叫喊，不可叫人聽到你們的聲音，連一句話也不可出口，直到我給你們說：「叫喊」那天，你們才可叫喊。
11 And the Ark of YHWH goes around the city, going around once, and they come into the camp, and lodge in the camp.
這樣上主的約櫃圍城轉了一遭後，眾人就回到中，在營中過夜。
12 And Joshua rises early in the morning, and the priests carry the Ark of YHWH,
若蘇厄清早起來，司祭又抬起上主的約櫃，
13 and seven priests carrying seven horns of the rams before the Ark of YHWH are walking, going on, and they have blown with the horns—and he who is armed is going before them, and he who is gathering up is going behind the Ark of YHWH—going on and blowing with the horns.
七位司祭帶了七個羊號角，走在上主約櫃前面，一面走，一面吹號角；先鋒隊走在他們前面，後衛隊隨在上主約櫃後面，一面走，一面吹號角。
14 And they go around the city once on the second day, and return to the camp; thus they have done [for] six days.
第二天他們圍城轉了一遭後，又回到營中；他們這樣行了六天。
15 And it comes to pass, on the seventh day, that they rise early, at the ascending of the dawn, and go around the city, according to this manner, seven times; (only on that day have they gone around the city seven times);
到了第七天，早晨黎明時，他們起來，照樣圍城轉了七遭。
16 and it comes to pass, at the seventh time, the priests have blown with the horns, and Joshua says to the people, “Shout! For YHWH has given the city to you;
到了第七遭，他們吹起了號角，若蘇厄吩咐百姓說：「你們叫喊，因為上主已將這城交給了你們。
17 and the city has been devoted, it and all that [is] in it, to YHWH; only Rahab the harlot lives, she and all who [are] with her in the house, for she hid the messengers whom we sent;
這城和城中所有的一切，都應全完毀滅，歸於上主，只有妓女辣哈布和她家中的人口 可以生存，因為她隱藏了我們所派的使者。
18 and surely you have kept from the devoted thing, lest you devote [yourselves], and have taken from the devoted thing, and have made the camp of Israel become a devoted thing, and have troubled it;
但你們要小心，不可私自取用這些應毀之物，免得你們貪心，竊取應毀滅之物，使以色列全營遭受詛咒，陷於不幸。
19 and all the silver and gold, and vessels of bronze and iron—it [is] holy to YHWH; it comes into the treasury of YHWH.”
至於所有的金銀，以及銅鐵的器皿，都應奉獻給上主，歸入上主的府庫。」
20 And the people shout, and blow with the horns, and it comes to pass, when the people hear the voice of the horn, that the people shout [with] a great shout, and the wall falls under it, and the people goes up into the city, each straight before him, and they capture the city;
百姓於是叫喊，號聲四起；百姓一聽到了號角聲，放聲大叫，城牆便坍塌了；百姓遂上了城，個個向前直衝，攻陷了那城。
21 and they devote all that [is] in the city, from man even to woman, from young even to aged, even to ox, and sheep, and donkey, by the mouth of the sword.
將城中所有的一切，不詮男女老幼，牛羊驢馬，都用利劍殺盡。
22 And Joshua said to the two men who are spying out the land, “Go into the house of the woman, the harlot, and bring out the woman from there, and all whom she has, as you have sworn to her.”
若蘇厄吩咐偵探這地的兩個人說：「你們到那妓女家裏去，照你們對她起的誓，將那女人和她所有的家人，從那裏領出來。」
23 And the young men, those spying, go in and bring out Rahab, and her father, and her mother, and her brothers, and all whom she has; indeed, they have brought out all her relatives, and place them at the outside of the camp of Israel.
那兩個年輕偵探就去將辣哈布和她的父母、兄弟和她所有的親戚，都領了出來，安置在以色列營外。
24 And they have burned the city with fire, and all that [is] in it; only, the silver and the gold, and the vessels of bronze, and of iron, they have given [to] the treasury of the house of YHWH;
此後眾人將城和城中所有的一切都用火燒了；惟獨把金銀以及銅鐵的器皿，送入上主居所的府庫中。
25 and Rahab the harlot, and the house of her father, and all whom she has, Joshua has kept alive; and she dwells in the midst of Israel to this day, for she hid the messengers whom Joshua sent to spy out Jericho.
至於妓女辣哈布與她父家，並她所有火家人，若蘇厄使之生存，直到今天，她還住在以色列人中，因為她隱藏了若蘇厄派去偵探耶利哥的兩個使者。
26 And Joshua adjures [them] at that time, saying, “Cursed [is] the man before YHWH who raises up and has built this city, [even] Jericho; he lays its foundation in his firstborn, and he sets up its doors in his youngest.”
那時若蘇厄起誓說：「凡著手重建這耶利哥城的人，在上主面前是可咒罵的。他奠基時必喪失長子，安門時必喪失幼兒。」
27 And YHWH is with Joshua, and his fame is in all the land.
上主與若蘇厄同在，他的名聲傳遍了那一帶地方。
