< Joshua 6 >

1 Now Jericho was tightly shut up because of the children of Israel. No one went out, and no one came in.
Pada waktu itu, pintu gerbang kota Yeriko ditutup rapat dan dijaga ketat karena orang Yeriko takut kepada orang Israel. Tidak seorang pun boleh keluar ataupun masuk.
2 Jehovah said to Joshua, "Look, I have given Jericho into your hand, with its king and the mighty men of valor.
TUHAN berkata kepada Yosua, “Lihat, Aku menyerahkan Yeriko kepadamu, beserta rajanya dan para panglimanya.
3 All your men of war shall march around the city, going around the city once. You shall do this six days.
Selama enam hari, kamu dan pasukanmu harus mengelilingi kota ini satu kali sehari.
4 Seven priests shall bear seven trumpets of rams' horns before the ark. On the seventh day, you shall march around the city seven times, and the priests shall blow the trumpets.
Perintahkan tujuh orang imam untuk berjalan di depan para imam yang mengangkat peti perjanjian, masing-masing membawa terompet dari tanduk domba. Pada hari yang ketujuh, kelilingilah kota itu tujuh kali, sementara para imam meniup terompet.
5 It shall be that when they make a long blast with the ram's horn, and when you 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 go up every man straight before him."
Saat mendengar terompet berbunyi panjang, kalian semua harus berteriak dengan nyaring. Tembok kota itu akan runtuh, dan kalian masing-masing harus memanjat reruntuhan tembok di depanmu lalu masuk kota itu.”
6 Joshua the son of Nun called the priests, and said to them, "Take up the ark of the covenant, and let seven priests bear seven trumpets of rams' horns before the ark of Jehovah."
Maka Yosua memanggil para imam lalu memerintahkan mereka, “Angkatlah peti perjanjian TUHAN. Tujuh orang imam harus berjalan di depannya, masing-masing membawa terompet dari tanduk domba.”
7 And he said to the people, "Advance. March around the city, and let the armed men pass on before Jehovah's ark."
Yosua juga berkata kepada pasukannya, “Majulah dan berjalanlah mengelilingi kota itu, dengan pasukan bersenjata berjalan di depan peti perjanjian.”
8 It was so, that when Joshua had spoken to the people, the seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams' horns before Jehovah advanced, and blew the trumpets; and the ark of the covenant of Jehovah followed them.
Sesudah Yosua memberikan perintah, mulailah pasukan bersenjata berjalan di depan, diikuti oleh ketujuh imam yang meniup terompet, lalu para imam yang membawa peti perjanjian TUHAN, dan pasukan selebihnya di belakang.
9 The armed men went before the priests who blew the trumpets, and the ark went after them. The trumpets sounded as they went.
10 Joshua commanded the people, saying, "You shall not shout, nor let your voice be heard, neither shall any word proceed out of your mouth, until the day I tell you to shout. Then you shall shout."
Yosua sudah memerintahkan pasukan itu, “Jangan berteriak ataupun mengeluarkan suara. Jangan mengatakan apa pun juga sampai pada hari ketika saya menyuruh kalian berteriak. Pada waktu itu barulah kalian harus berteriak!”
11 So he caused the ark of Jehovah to go around the city, going about it once. Then they came into the camp, and lodged in the camp.
Maka mereka membawa peti perjanjian mengelilingi kota itu satu kali. Kemudian mereka kembali ke perkemahan dan bermalam di situ.
12 Joshua rose early in the morning, and the priests took up the ark of Jehovah.
Besoknya, Yosua bangun pagi-pagi sekali. Dan seperti sebelumnya, para imam bersama pasukan kembali mengelilingi kota itu. Pasukan bersenjata di depan, diikuti oleh tujuh imam yang meniup terompet terus menerus, lalu para imam yang mengangkat peti perjanjian TUHAN, dan pasukan selebihnya di belakang.
13 The seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams' horns before the ark of Jehovah went on continually, and blew the trumpets: and the armed men went before them. The rear guard came after the ark of Jehovah. The trumpets sounded as they went.
14 The second day they marched around the city once, and returned into the camp. They did this six days.
Di hari kedua, mereka kembali mengelilingi kota itu satu kali, lalu kembali ke perkemahan. Hal itu mereka lakukan selama enam hari berturut-turut.
15 It happened on the seventh day, that they rose early at the dawning of the day, and marched around the city in the same way seven times. Only on this day they marched around the city seven times.
Pada hari yang ketujuh, mereka bangun pagi sekali dan mengelilingi kota itu seperti sebelumnya, hanya saja kali ini mereka mengelilinginya tujuh kali.
16 It happened at the seventh time, when the priests blew the trumpets, Joshua said to the people, "Shout, for Jehovah has given you the city.
Pada putaran yang ketujuh, para imam meniup terompet tanduk dan Yosua berkata kepada pasukan, “Bersoraklah, karena TUHAN sudah memberikan kota ini kepada kalian!
17 The city shall be devoted, even it and all that is in it, to Jehovah. Only Rahab the prostitute shall live, she and all who are with her in the house, because she hid the messengers that we sent.
Yeriko dan segala isinya harus dimusnahkan sebagai persembahan bagi TUHAN. Hanya Rahab, pelacur itu, dan semua orang di rumahnya yang dibiarkan hidup, karena dia sudah menyembunyikan mata-mata kita.
18 But as for you, only keep yourselves from the devoted thing, so as not to covet and take of the devoted thing and make the camp of Israel accursed, and bring trouble on it.
“Jangan mengambil apa pun yang harus dimusnahkan. Kalau kalian mengambil sesuatu, perkemahan kita sendiri akan dihancurkan dan kita akan ditimpa musibah.
19 But all the silver, and gold, and vessels of bronze and iron, are holy to Jehovah. They shall come into Jehovah's treasury."
Semua perak dan emas, serta barang-barang dari perunggu dan besi, adalah milik TUHAN. Semua itu harus dibawa ke tempat penyimpanan harta milik TUHAN.”
20 So the people shouted, and the priests blew the trumpets. It happened, when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, that the people shouted with a great shout, and the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they took the city.
Ketika orang Israel mendengar bunyi terompet, mereka berteriak sangat keras. Lalu tembok Yeriko runtuh dan seluruh pasukan menyerbu masuk ke dalam kota itu dan menguasainya.
21 They utterly destroyed all that was in the city, both man and woman, both young and old, and ox, and sheep, and donkey, with the edge of the sword.
Mereka membunuh semua yang ada di kota itu, baik laki-laki maupun perempuan, tua maupun muda, bahkan semua ternak sapi, domba, dan keledai.
22 And Joshua said to the two young men who had spied out the land, "Go into the prostitute's house, and bring out from there the woman and all that she has, as you swore to her."
Sebelumnya, Yosua sudah berkata kepada dua mata-mata yang menyelidiki negeri itu, “Masuklah ke rumah pelacur itu dan bawalah dia keluar bersama seluruh keluarganya, seperti yang sudah kalian janjikan kepadanya.”
23 The young men who were spies went in, and brought out Rahab with her father, her mother, her brothers, and all that she had. They also brought out all her relatives, and they set them outside of the camp of Israel.
Maka kedua mata-mata muda itu pergi dan membawa Rahab keluar bersama ayahnya, ibu, saudara-saudara, dan semua sanak saudara yang bersama dia ke tempat aman di dekat perkemahan orang Israel.
24 They burnt the city with fire, and all that was in it. Only they put the silver, the gold, and the vessels of bronze and of iron into the treasury of Jehovah's house.
Lalu orang Israel membakar kota itu dan semua yang ada di dalamnya, kecuali perak, emas, dan barang-barang dari perunggu dan besi. Mereka mengambil barang-barang itu untuk disimpan di tempat penyimpanan harta milik TUHAN.
25 But Rahab the prostitute, her father's household, and all that she had, Joshua saved alive. She lived in the midst of Israel to this day, because she hid the messengers, whom Joshua sent to spy out Jericho.
Tetapi Yosua membiarkan Rahab, pelacur itu, dan keluarganya yang bersama dengan dia tetap hidup. Keturunan Rahab tinggal di antara orang Israel sampai kitab ini ditulis karena dia menyembunyikan mata-mata yang diutus Yosua ke Yeriko.
26 Joshua commanded them with an oath at that time, saying, "Cursed be the man before Jehovah, who rises up and builds this city Jericho. With the loss of his firstborn shall he lay its foundation, and with the loss of his youngest son shall he set up its gates."
Pada waktu itu Yosua memberi peringatan keras, “Siapa pun yang berusaha membangun kembali kota Yeriko akan dikutuk oleh TUHAN. Dia akan kehilangan anak sulungnya saat meletakkan fondasi benteng kota dan akan kehilangan anak bungsunya saat mendirikan pintu gerbangnya!”
27 So Jehovah was with Joshua; and his fame was in all the land.
TUHAN menyertai Yosua dan menjadikan dia terkenal di seluruh negeri itu.
