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.
Jericó empero estaba cerrada, bien cerrada, a causa de los hijos de Israel; nadie entraba, ni salía.
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.
Mas Jehová dijo a Josué: Mira, yo he entregado en tu mano a Jericó, y a su rey con sus varones de guerra.
3 So your army must march around the city for six days, once each day.
Cercaréis pues la ciudad todos los hombres de guerra yendo al derredor de la ciudad una vez al día: y esto haréis seis días.
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.
Y siete sacerdotes llevarán siete bocinas de cuernos de carneros delante del arca: y al séptimo día dareis siete vueltas a la ciudad, y los sacerdotes tocarán las bocinas.
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.”
Y cuando tocaren luengamente el cuerno de carnero, como oyereis el sonido de la bocina, todo el pueblo gritará a gran voz, y el muro de la ciudad caerá debajo de sí: entonces el pueblo subirá cada uno en derecho de sí.
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.”
Y llamando Josué hijo de Nun los sacerdotes, díjoles: Llevád el arca del concierto: y siete sacerdotes lleven siete bocinas de cuernos de carneros delante del arca de Jehová.
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.”
Y dijo al pueblo: Pasád, y cercád la ciudad; y los que están armados pasarán delante del arca de Jehová.
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.
Y luego que Josué hubo hablado al pueblo, los siete sacerdotes llevando las siete bocinas de cuernos de carneros, pasaron delante del arca de Jehová, y tocaron las bocinas: y el arca del concierto de Jehová los seguía.
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.
Y los armados iban delante de los sacerdotes que tocaban las bocinas, y la congregación iba de tras del arca andando y tocando bocinas.
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]!”
Y Josué mandó al pueblo, diciendo: Vosotros no daréis grita, ni se oirá vuestra voz, ni saldrá palabra de vuestra boca, hasta el día que yo os diga; Gritád: entonces daréis grita.
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.
El arca pues de Jehová dio una vuelta al derredor de la ciudad, y viniéronse al real, en el cual tuvieron la noche.
12 The next morning, Joshua and the priests got up early, and the four priests carried Yahweh’s sacred chest [again].
Y Josué se levantó de mañana; y los sacerdotes tomaron el arca de Jehová:
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.
Y los otros siete sacerdotes llevando las siete bocinas de cuernos de carneros, fueron delante del arca de Jehová, andando siempre y tocando las bocinas: y los armados iban delante de ellos, y la congregación iba detrás del arca de Jehová: andando y tocando las bocinas.
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.
Así dieron otra vuelta a la ciudad el segundo día, y volviéronse al real: de esta manera hicieron por seis días.
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.
Y al séptimo día, levantáronse cuando el alba subía, y dieron vuelta a la ciudad de esta manera siete veces: este día solamente dieron vuelta al rededor de ella siete veces.
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!
Y como los sacerdotes hubieron tocado las bocinas la séptima vez, Josué dijo al pueblo: Dad grita; porque Jehová os ha entregado la ciudad.
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.
Mas la ciudad será anatema a Jehová, ella con todas las cosas que están en ella: solamente Raab la ramera con todos los que estuvieren en casa con ella, vivirá, por cuanto escondió los mensajeros que enviamos.
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.
Mas vosotros guardáos del anatema, que ni toquéis, ni toméis alguna cosa del anatema, porque no hagáis anatema el campo de Israel, y lo turbéis.
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.”
Mas toda la plata, y el oro, y vasos de metal y de hierro sea consagrado a Jehová, y venga al tesoro de Jehová.
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.
Entonces el pueblo dio grita, y tocaron bocinas: y aconteció que como el pueblo hubo oído el sonido de la bocina, el pueblo dio grita con muy gran vocerío, y el muro cayó debajo de sí: y el pueblo subió a la ciudad cada uno delante de sí: y tomáronla.
21 They killed [IDM] every living thing in the city—men and women, young people and old people, even cattle and sheep and donkeys.
Y destruyeron todo lo que había en la ciudad, hombres y mujeres, mozos y viejos, hasta los bueyes, y ovejas, y asnos, a filo de espada.
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.”
Mas Josué dijo a los dos varones, que habían reconocido la tierra: Entrád en la casa de la mujer ramera, y hacéd salir de allá a la mujer, y a todo lo que fuere suyo, como le jurasteis.
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.
Y los mancebos espías entraron, y sacaron a Raab, y a su padre, y su madre, y sus hermanos, y todo lo que era suyo: y también sacaron a toda su parentela: y pusiéronlos fuera del campo de Israel.
Y quemaron a fuego la ciudad, y todo lo que estaba en ella; solamente pusieron en el tesoro de la casa de Jehová la plata, y el oro, y los vasos de metal y de hierro.
Mas Josué dio la vida a Raab la ramera, y a la casa de su padre, y a todo lo que ella tenía: la cual habitó entre los Israelitas hasta hoy; por cuanto escondió los mensajeros, que Josué envió a reconocer a Jericó.
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.”
Y en aquel tiempo Josué juró, diciendo: Maldito sea delante de Jehová el hombre, que se levantare, y reedificare esta ciudad de Jericó. En su primogénito eche sus cimientos: y en su menor de días asiente sus puertas.
27 Because of what happened that day, it was clear that Yahweh was with/helped Joshua, and Joshua became famous throughout the land.
Fue pues Jehová con Josué: y su nombre fue divulgado por toda la tierra.
