Joshua 6
1 Now Jericho was securely shut up because of the children of Israel: none went out, and none came in.
Men Jeriko var lukket og stængt for Israelitterne, ingen gik ud eller ind.
2 And the LORD said to Joshua, See, I have given into thy hand Jericho, and its king, and the mighty men of valour.
Da sagde HERREN til Josua: "Se, jeg giver Jeriko og dets Konge og Krigere i din Hånd.
3 And ye shall march around the city, all ye men of war, and go round the city once. Thus shalt thou do six days.
Alle eders våbenføre Mænd skal gå rundt om Byen, een Gang rundt; det skal I gøre seks Dage;
4 And seven priests shall bear before the ark seven trumpets of rams’ horns: and the seventh day ye shall march around the city seven times, and the priests shall blow with the trumpets.
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 And it shall come to pass, that when they make a long blast with the ram’s horn, and when ye 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.
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 And 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 the LORD.
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 he said to the people, Pass on, and march around the city, and let him that is armed pass on before the ark of the LORD.
Og han sagde til Folket: "Drag ud og gå rundt om Byen, således at de, som bærer Våben, går foran HERRENs Ark!"
8 And it came to pass, when Joshua had spoken to the people, that the seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams’ horns passed on before the LORD, and blew with the trumpets: and the ark of the covenant of the LORD 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 And the armed men went before the priests that blew with the trumpets, and the rear guard came after the ark, the priests going on, and blowing with the 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 And Joshua had commanded the people, saying, Ye shall not shout, nor make any noise with your voice, neither shall any word proceed from your mouth, until the day I bid you shout; then shall ye shout.
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 ark of the LORD went around the city, going about it once: and they came into the camp, and lodged in the camp.
Så lod han HERRENs Ark bære rundt om Byen, een Gang rundt, og derpå begav de sig tilbage til Lejren og overnattede der.
12 And Joshua rose early in the morning, and the priests took up the ark of the LORD.
Tidligt næste Morgen gjorde Josua sig rede, og Præsterne bar HERRENs Ark,
13 And seven priests bearing seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the ark of the LORD went on continually, and blew with the trumpets: and the armed men went before them; but the rear guard came after the ark of the LORD, the priests going on, and blowing with the 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 And the second day they marched around the city once, and returned into the camp: so they did six days.
Anden Dag gik de een Gang rundt om Byen, hvorefter de vendte tilbage til Lejren; således gjorde de seks Dage.
15 And it came to pass on the seventh day, that they rose early about the dawning of the day, and marched around the city after the same manner seven times: only on that day 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 And it came to pass at the seventh time, when the priests blew with the trumpets, Joshua said to the people, Shout; for the LORD hath given you the city.
og syvende Gang stødte Præsterne i Hornene, og Josua sagde til Folket: "Opløft Krigsskriget! Thi HERREN har givet eder Byen.
17 And the city shall be accursed, even it, and all that are in it, to the LORD: only Rahab the harlot shall live, she and all that are with her in the house, because she hid the messengers that we sent.
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 ye, in every way keep yourselves from the accursed thing, lest ye make yourselves accursed, when ye take of the accursed thing, and make the camp of Israel a curse, and trouble it.
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 vessels of brass and iron, are consecrated to the LORD: they shall come into the treasury of the LORD.
Men alt Sølv og Guld og alle Kobber og Jernsager skal helliges HERREN; det skal bringes ind i HERRENs Skatkammer!"
20 So the people shouted when the priests blew with the trumpets: and it came to pass, when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, and the people shouted with a great shout, that the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they took 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 And they utterly destroyed all that was in the city, both man and woman, young and old, and ox, and sheep, and donkey, with the edge of the sword.
Derpå lagde de med Sværdet Band på alt, hvad der var i Byen, Mænd og Kvinder, unge og gamle, Hornkvæg, Småkvæg og Æsler.
22 But Joshua had said to the two men that spied out the country, Go into the harlot’s house, and bring out from there the woman, and all that she hath, as ye swore 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 And the young men that were spies went in, and brought out Rahab, and her father, and her mother, and her brethren, and all that she had; and they brought out all her kindred, and left them outside the camp of Israel.
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.
24 And they burnt the city with fire, and all that was in it: only the silver, and the gold, and the vessels of brass and of iron, they put into the treasury of the house of the LORD.
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.
25 And Joshua saved Rahab the harlot alive, and her father’s household, and all that she had; and she dwelleth in Israel even to this day; because she hid the messengers, which Joshua sent to spy out Jericho.
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 And Joshua charged them at that time, saying, Cursed be the man before the LORD, that riseth up and buildeth this city Jericho: he shall lay its foundation in his firstborn, and in his youngest son shall he set up the gates of it.
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 So the LORD was with Joshua; and his fame was noised throughout all the country.
Således var HERREN med Josua, og hans Ry udbredte sig over hele Landet.
