Joshua 6
1 Meanwhile, the guards of Jericho shut the gates of the city tightly, because [they were afraid] of the Israeli [army]. No one was allowed to go into the city or go out of it.
Og Jeriko havde lukket for sig og var tillukket for Israels Børns Ansigt; der kunde ingen gaa ud, ej heller komme ind.
2 Then Yahweh said to Joshua, “Listen [to what I say]! I am going to enable your army [SYN] to capture/conquer [MTY] Jericho and its king and its soldiers.
Og Herren sagde til Josva: Se, i din Haand har jeg givet Jeriko og dens Konge, som ere vældige til Strid.
3 So your army must march around the city for six days, once each day.
Og I skulle gaa omkring Staden, alle Krigsmændene, saa at de gaa rundt om Staden een Gang; saaledes skal du gøre seks Dage.
4 Tell seven priests to march around with them. Each priest must carry a trumpet. Four other priests must carry the sacred chest, and they must walk behind the priests who are carrying the trumpets. On the seventh day, the army must march around the city seven times, and the priests must be blowing the trumpets while they march.
Og syv Præster skulle bære syv fuldtonende Basuner foran Arken, og paa den syvende Dag skulle I gaa om Staden syv Gange, og Præsterne skulle blæse i Basunerne.
5 [After they have all marched around the city seven times], the priests must blow their trumpets [once], very loudly. When the Israeli people/soldiers hear that, they must shout loudly. Then the wall of the city will collapse, and all the Israeli people/soldiers will go straight into the city.”
Og det skal ske, naar man blæser langsomt i Hornet, naar I høre Basunens Lyd, da skal alt Folket skrige med et stort Skrig; saa skal Stadens Mur falde lige ned, og Folket skal stige op, hver lige frem for sig.
6 So Joshua summoned the priests and said to them, “Tell four priests to carry the chest [that contains] the Ten Commandments that Yahweh [gave to us]. [Tell] seven [other] priests to carry trumpets and walk in front of them.”
Saa kaldte Josva, Nuns Søn, ad Præsterne og sagde til dem: Bærer Pagtens Ark, og lader syv Præster bære de syv fuldtonende Basuner foran Herrens Ark.
7 And Joshua told the soldiers, “Start marching! March around the city, with several soldiers with weapons marching in front. Behind them will march the seven priests with trumpets, and behind them will march the four priests carrying Yahweh’s [sacred] chest.”
Og han sagde til Folket: Gaar frem og gaar omkring Staden; og hvo som er bevæbnet, gaa frem foran Herrens Ark.
8 After Joshua told that to the army, the seven priests, each carrying a sacred trumpet, started marching, blowing their trumpets. The four priests who were carrying Yahweh’s sacred chest followed them.
Og det skete, der Josva havde sagt dette til Folket, da gik syv Præster frem, som bare de syv fuldtonende Basuner for Herrens Ansigt, og blæste i Basunerne; og Herrens Pagts Ark fulgte efter dem.
9 The group of soldiers carrying weapons marched in front of the priests who were blowing their trumpets, and the rest of the soldiers followed [the four men carrying] the chest. While [they were all marching], [the seven priests] were blowing their trumpets.
Og hver, som var bevæbnet, gik foran Præsterne, som blæste i Basunerne; og Troppen, som sluttede, gik efter Arken, medens man vedblev at blæse i Basunerne.
10 But [the rest of] the people [were silent, because] Joshua had commanded them, “Do not make a war cry. Do not yell or say anything until the day when I tell you to shout. On that day, you must shout [loudly]!”
Og Josva bød Folket og sagde: I skulle ikke skrige og ej lade eders Røst høre, og der skal ikke et Ord udgaa af eders Mund, indtil den Dag jeg siger til eder: Skriger! da skulle I skrige.
11 So the men carrying Yahweh’s sacred chest and all the others did what Joshua told them to do. They marched around the city once. Then they all returned to their camp and stayed there that night.
Saa gik Herrens Ark omkring, saa at den gik rundt om Staden een Gang; og de kom i Lejren og bleve om Natten i Lejren.
12 The next morning, Joshua and the priests got up early, and the four priests carried Yahweh’s sacred chest [again].
Og Josva stod tidlig op om Morgenen, og Præsterne bare Herrens Ark.
13 The seven priests who were carrying trumpets went in front of [the men carrying] the chest. The seven priests were blowing their trumpets as they marched. The group of soldiers carrying weapons went in front of all the others, and the rest of the army followed all the others. All the time, the seven priests were blowing their trumpets.
Og de syv Præster, som bare de syv fuldtonende Basuner foran Herrens Ark, gik stedse og blæste i Basunerne; og hver bevæbnet gik for deres Ansigt, og Troppen, som sluttede, gik efter Herrens Ark, medens man vedblev at blæse i Basunerne.
14 So on that second day they again marched around the city once and then returned to their camp. They did the same thing for six days.
Og de gik omkring Staden paa den anden Dag een Gang, og de vendte tilbage til Lejren; saaledes gjorde de seks Dage.
15 On the seventh day, they got up at dawn, and they all marched around the city the same way that they had done before, but this time they marched around the city seven times.
Og det skete paa den syvende Dag, da stode de tidlig op, der Morgenrøden brød frem, og de gik omkring Staden syv Gange, efter den samme Vis, kun at de den samme Dag kom syv Gange omkring Staden.
16 As they were marching around the seventh time, when the priests were about to blow the long/loud blast on their trumpets, Joshua commanded the people, “Shout, because Yahweh will enable you to capture the city!
Og det skete den syvende Gang, da blæste Præsterne i Basunerne, og Josva sagde til Folket: Skriger! thi Herren har givet eder Staden.
17 Yahweh has declared that you must destroy [IDM] the city and everything in it [to show that it belongs to him]. You must spare only Rahab the prostitute and the others who are in her house, because she hid the spies whom we sent there.
Og Staden, den og alt det, som er i den, skal være sat i Band for Herren; kun den Skøge Rahab skal leve, hun og alle de, som ere i Huset med hende; thi hun skjulte Budene, som vi udsendte.
18 And because Yahweh has declared that everything must be destroyed [IDM], you must not take [EUP] any of the things in the city. If you take anything, you will cause Yahweh to destroy our own camp and cause terrible things to happen to us.
Kun maa I forvare eder for det bandlyste, at I ikke komme under Band og tage af det bandlyste og sætte Israels Lejr i Band og forstyrre den.
19 But all the silver and gold and articles made from iron and bronze that you find, you must set apart for Yahweh. You must put those things in his treasury.”
Men alt Sølv og Guld og Kobberkar og Jern, det skal være helligt for Herren; det skal komme til Herrens Liggendefæ.
20 So they did what Joshua told them to do. When the priests blew a long blast on their trumpets, the people/army shouted loudly, and the wall of the city collapsed! Then the Israeli soldiers rushed in and captured the city.
Og Folket skreg, da de blæste i Basunerne; ja det skete, der Folket hørte Basunernes Lyd, da skreg Folket med et stort Skrig, og Muren faldt lige ned, og Folket steg op i Staden, hver lige frem for sig, og de indtoge Staden.
21 They killed [IDM] every living thing in the city—men and women, young people and old people, even cattle and sheep and donkeys.
Og de ødelagde alt det, som var i Staden, baade Mand og Kvinde, baade ung og gammel, og Øksne og Faar og Asener, med skarpe Sværd.
22 Then Joshua said to the two men (who had spied on/whom he had sent to learn all they could about) the land, “Go to the prostitute’s house. Bring her out, along with all her family, just as you promised to her.”
Men Josva sagde til de to Mænd, som havde spejdet Landet: Gaar i den Kvindes, den Skøges Hus, og udfører Kvinden derfra og alt det, som hører hende til, som I have svoret hende.
23 So those two spies/men went into Rahab’s house and brought her out. They also brought out her father and mother and her brothers, and all the rest of her family. Joshua’s men spared Rahab the prostitute. They also did not kill all her relatives, because she had hidden and protected the spies/men whom Joshua had sent to Jericho. The two men brought them all out and put them in a place outside the camp of the Israelis. Rahab still lives among us Israeli people. Then the soldiers gathered the articles made from silver, gold, bronze, and iron that they found and they put them all into Yahweh’s treasury. But they burned everything else that was in the city.
Da gik de unge Karle, Spejderne, ind og udførte Rahab og hendes Fader og hendes Moder og hendes Brødre, og alt det, som hørte hende til, og al hendes Slægt udførte de; og de lode dem blive uden for Israels Lejr.
Men Staden opbrændte de med Ild og alt det, som var i den; alene Sølvet og Guldet og Kobberkarrene og Jernet, det gave de til Herrens Huses Liggendefæ.
Men Josva lod Rahab, den Skøge, og hendes Faders Hus og alt det, som hørte hende til, leve, og hun boede midt iblandt Israel indtil denne Dag; thi hun skjulte Budene, som Josva havde udsendt til at spejde Jeriko.
26 At that time, Joshua warned the people, “Yahweh will curse/punish anyone who tries to rebuild this city, Jericho. When that person lays/builds its foundation, his oldest son will die. And when he finishes building the city wall and sets up its gates, his youngest son will die.”
Og paa den samme Tid tog Josva en Ed af dem og sagde: Forbandet være den Mand for Herrens Ansigt, som opstaar og bygger denne Stad Jeriko; naar han lægger dens Grundvold, koste det ham hans førstefødte, og naar han sætter dens Porte, koste det ham hans yngste Søn.
27 Because of what happened that day, it was clear that Yahweh was with/helped Joshua, and Joshua became famous throughout the land.
Saa var Herren med Josva, og hans Rygte var over det ganske Land.
