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.
Di kota Yerikho pintu-pintu gerbang sudah dijaga ketat dan ditutup rapat-rapat supaya orang Israel tidak dapat masuk. Tidak seorang pun diperbolehkan masuk atau keluar kota itu.
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.
TUHAN berkata kepada Yosua, "Sekarang Aku serahkan kepadamu Yerikho dengan rajanya dan semua tentaranya yang berani-berani itu.
3 So your army must march around the city for six days, once each day.
Engkau dan tentaramu harus berbaris mengelilingi kota itu sekali sehari selama enam hari.
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.
Tujuh orang imam, masing-masing membawa trompet, harus berjalan di depan Peti Perjanjian. Pada hari ketujuh, engkau dan tentaramu harus mengelilingi kota itu tujuh kali sementara para imam meniup trompetnya.
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.”
Kemudian imam-imam itu harus meniup trompetnya dengan bunyi yang panjang. Begitu kalian mendengar bunyi yang panjang itu, semua tentara harus bersorak dengan gemuruh, maka tembok kota itu akan runtuh. Lalu kalian semua harus langsung memasuki kota itu."
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.”
Maka Yosua memanggil para imam, dan berkata, "Angkatlah Peti Perjanjian itu; tujuh orang dari antara kalian harus berjalan di depannya sambil membawa trompet."
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.”
Lalu Yosua menyuruh tentaranya berbaris mengelilingi kota itu, didahului oleh barisan pengawal depan yang berjalan mendahului Peti Perjanjian TUHAN.
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.
Sesuai dengan perintah Yosua, berangkatlah barisan pengawal depan mendahului imam-imam peniup trompet, diikuti oleh imam-imam yang memikul Peti Perjanjian, kemudian diakhiri oleh barisan pengawal belakang. Sementara mereka berjalan, trompet terus-menerus dibunyikan.
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.
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]!”
Semua tentara sudah diperintahkan untuk tidak bersorak dan tidak mengucapkan sepatah kata pun kalau Yosua belum memberi aba-aba.
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.
Demikianlah Yosua menyuruh tentaranya membawa Peti Perjanjian mengelilingi kota itu satu kali, kemudian kembali ke perkemahan, dan bermalam di situ.
12 The next morning, Joshua and the priests got up early, and the four priests carried Yahweh’s sacred chest [again].
Besoknya, pagi-pagi sekali, Yosua bangun lalu untuk kedua kalinya para imam dan tentara berbaris mengelilingi kota itu dalam urutan barisan seperti hari sebelumnya: mula-mula barisan pengawal depan, kemudian ketujuh imam peniup trompet, disusul oleh imam-imam yang memikul Peti Perjanjian, dan akhirnya barisan pengawal belakang. Sementara itu trompet terus-menerus dibunyikan.
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.
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.
Pada hari kedua itu mereka mengelilingi kota satu kali kemudian kembali ke perkemahan. Begitulah mereka lakukan setiap hari selama enam hari.
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.
Pada hari ketujuh mereka bangun pagi-pagi ketika matahari baru terbit, lalu berbaris tujuh kali mengelilingi kota Yerikho itu dengan cara yang sama. Hanya pada hari ketujuh itu saja, mereka mengelilingi kota itu tujuh kali.
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!
Pada kali yang ketujuh, begitu para imam meniup trompetnya, Yosua memberi aba-aba kepada seluruh pasukan untuk bersorak. Yosua berkata, "TUHAN sudah menyerahkan kota ini kepadamu!
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.
Seluruh kota dengan segala isinya harus dimusnahkan sama sekali sebagai persembahan untuk TUHAN. Hanya Rahab, wanita pelacur itu dengan kaum keluarganya saja boleh dibiarkan hidup, karena ia sudah menolong mata-mata kita.
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.
Tidak boleh mengambil sesuatu pun dari semua yang harus dimusnahkan. Kalau kalian mengambilnya, perkemahan Israel akan ditimpa celaka dan bencana.
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.”
Semua barang perak, emas, tembaga, dan besi harus dikhususkan untuk TUHAN, dan disimpan di dalam tempat penyimpanan harta milik TUHAN."
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.
Lalu para imam meniup trompetnya. Dan begitu orang-orang Israel mendengar bunyi trompet itu, mereka bersorak kuat-kuat, lalu tembok kota Yerikho runtuh. Seluruh tentara Israel langsung naik, dan memasuki kota itu lalu merebutnya.
21 They killed [IDM] every living thing in the city—men and women, young people and old people, even cattle and sheep and donkeys.
Semua yang di dalam kota itu, tua muda, pria wanita, dibunuh dengan pedang. Segala ternak sapi, domba dan keledai pun dibunuh.
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.”
Kepada kedua orang yang telah menjadi mata-mata, Yosua berkata, "Pergilah ke rumah wanita pelacur itu, dan bawalah dia keluar bersama-sama dengan keluarganya seperti yang sudah kalian janjikan kepadanya."
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.
Maka kedua mata-mata itu pergi, dan membawa keluar Rahab bersama dengan ayah ibunya, saudara-saudaranya, dan kaum keluarganya yang lain. Seluruh keluarga Rahab itu dengan hamba-hambanya dibawa keluar ke tempat yang aman dekat perkemahan Israel.
Kemudian tentara Israel membakar habis seluruh kota itu dengan segala sesuatu yang ada di dalamnya, kecuali barang-barang emas, perak, tembaga dan besi. Barang-barang itu mereka ambil dan bawa ke tempat penyimpanan harta milik TUHAN.
Tetapi Rahab wanita pelacur itu dengan seluruh kaum keluarganya dibiarkan hidup oleh Yosua, karena ia sudah menolong kedua mata-mata yang diutus Yosua ke Yerikho. (Sampai pada hari ini keturunan Rahab masih ada di Israel.)
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.”
Pada waktu itu Yosua mengeluarkan larangan ini, "Siapa pun yang berusaha membangun kembali kota Yerikho ini, akan terkena kutukan TUHAN. Siapa yang meletakkan pondasinya akan kehilangan anak sulungnya; dan siapa yang memasang pintu-pintu gerbangnya akan kehilangan anak bungsunya."
27 Because of what happened that day, it was clear that Yahweh was with/helped Joshua, and Joshua became famous throughout the land.
TUHAN menyertai Yosua, dan nama Yosua menjadi termasyhur di seluruh negeri itu.
