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.
Men Jeriko var lukket og stængt for Israelitterne, ingen gik ud eller 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.
Da sagde HERREN til Josua: "Se, jeg giver Jeriko og dets Konge og Krigere i din Hånd.
3 So your army must march around the city for six days, once each day.
Alle eders våbenføre Mænd skal gå rundt om Byen, een Gang rundt; det skal I 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 skal bære syv Væderhorn foran Arken. Men den syvende Dag skal I gå rundt om Byen syv Gange, og Præsterne skal støde i Hornene.
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.”
Når der så blæses i Væderhornet, og I hører Hornets Lyd, skal alt Folket opløfte et vældigt Krigsskrig; så skal Byens Mur styrte sammen, og Folket kan gå lige ind, hver fra sin Plads."
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.”
Josua, Nuns Søn, lod da Præsterne kalde og sagde til dem: "I skal bære Pagtens Ark, og syv Præster skal bære syv Væderhorn 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: "Drag ud og gå rundt om Byen, således at de, som bærer Våben, går 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.
Da nu Josua havde talt til Folket, gik de syv Præster, som bar de syv Væderhorn foran HERREN, frem og stødte i Hornene, medens HERRENs Pagts Ark fulgte efter;
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 de, som bar Våben, gik foran Præsterne, som stødte i Hornene, og de, som sluttede Toget, fulgte efter Arken, medens der blæstes i Hornene.
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]!”
Men Josua bød Folket: "I må ikke opløfte Krigsskrig eller lade eders Røst høre, og intet Ord må udgå af eders Mund, før den Dag jeg siger til eder: Råb! Men så skal I råbe!"
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.
Så lod han HERRENs Ark bære rundt om Byen, een Gang rundt, og derpå begav de sig tilbage til Lejren og overnattede der.
12 The next morning, Joshua and the priests got up early, and the four priests carried Yahweh’s sacred chest [again].
Tidligt næste Morgen gjorde Josua sig rede, og Præsterne bar 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 bar de syv Væderhorn foran HERRENs Ark, gik og stødte i Hornene; de, som bar Våben, gik foran dem, og de, som sluttede Toget, fulgte efter HERRENs Ark, medens der blæstes i Hornene.
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.
Anden Dag gik de een Gang rundt om Byen, hvorefter de vendte tilbage til Lejren; således 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.
Men den syvende Dag brød de op tidligt, ved Morgenrødens frembrud og gik på samme Måde syv Gange rundt om Byen; kun på denne Dag drog de syv Gange rundt om Byen;
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 syvende Gang stødte Præsterne i Hornene, og Josua sagde til Folket: "Opløft Krigsskriget! Thi HERREN har givet eder Byen.
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 Byen skal lyses i Band for HERREN med alt, hvad der er i den; kun Skøgen Rahab skal blive i Live tillige med alle dem, som er i hendes Hus, fordi hun skjulte Sendebudene, 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.
Men I skal tage eder vel i Vare for det bandlyste, så I ikke attrår og tager noget af det bandlyste og derved bringer Bandet over Israels lejr og styrter den i Ulykke.
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 alle Kobber og Jernsager skal helliges HERREN; det skal bringes ind i HERRENs Skatkammer!"
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.
Så opløftede Folket Krigsskrig, og de stødte i Hornene og da Folket hørte Hornene, opløftede det et vældigt Krigsskrig; da styrtede Muren sammen, og Folket gik lige ind i Byen; således indtog de Byen.
21 They killed [IDM] every living thing in the city—men and women, young people and old people, even cattle and sheep and donkeys.
Derpå lagde de med Sværdet Band på alt, hvad der var i Byen, Mænd og Kvinder, unge og gamle, Hornkvæg, Småkvæg og Æsler.
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 til de to Mænd, som havde udspejdet Landet, sagde Josua: "Gå ind i Skøgens Hus og før Kvinden og alt, hvad hendes er, ud derfra, som I tilsvor 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.
De unge Mænd, som havde været Spejdere, gik da ind og førte Rabab ud tillige med hendes Fader og Moder og hendes Brødre, hele hendes Slægt og alt, hvad hendes var; de førte dem ud og lod dem stå uden for Israels Lejr.
Men på Byen og alt, hvad der var i den, stak de Ild; kun Sølvet og Guldet og Kobber og Jernsagerne bragte de ind i HERRENs Hus's Skatkammer.
Men Skøgen Rahab og hendes Fædrenehus og alt, hvad hendes var, lod Josua blive i Live, og hun kom til at bo blandt Israeliterne og gør det den Dag i Dag, fordi hun havde skjult Sendebudene, som Josua havde sendt ud for at udspejde 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.”
På den Tid tog Josua Folket i Ed, idet han sagde: "Forbandet være den Mand for HERRENs Åsyn, som indlader sig på at opbygge denne By, Jeriko. Det skal koste ham hans førstefødte at lægge Grunden og hans yngste at sætte dens Portfløje ind."
27 Because of what happened that day, it was clear that Yahweh was with/helped Joshua, and Joshua became famous throughout the land.
Således var HERREN med Josua, og hans Ry udbredte sig over hele Landet.
