Joshua 6
1 Now Jericho was tightly shut up because of the children of Israel. No one went out, and no one came in.
Torej Jeriha je bila strogo zaprta zaradi Izraelovih otrok. Nihče ni odšel ven in nihče ni prišel noter.
2 The LORD said to Joshua, “Behold, I have given Jericho into your hand, with its king and the mighty men of valour.
Gospod je rekel Józuetu: »Poglej, v tvojo roko sem izročil Jeriho in njenega kralja in močne junaške može.
3 All of your men of war shall march around the city, going around the city once. You shall do this six days.
Obdali boste mesto, vsi vi bojevniki in enkrat obhodili mesto. Tako boste počeli šest dni.
4 Seven priests shall bear seven shofars of rams’ horns before the ark. On the seventh day, you shall march around the city seven times, and the priests shall blow the shofars.
Sedem duhovnikov bo pred skrinjo nosilo sedem šofarjev iz ovnovih rogov, in sedmi dan boste sedemkrat obkrožili mesto in duhovniki bodo zatrobili s šofarji.
5 It shall be that when they make a long blast with the ram’s horn, and when you hear the sound of the shofar, all the people shall shout with a great shout; then the city wall will fall down flat, and the people shall go up, every man straight in front of him.”
In zgodilo se bo, da ko bodo z ovnovim rogom naredili dolgo trobljenje in ko zaslišite zvok šofarja, naj vse ljudstvo zavpije z velikim krikom in mestno obzidje bo plosko padlo dol in ljudstvo se bo povzpelo, vsak človek naravnost pred seboj.«
6 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 shofars of rams’ horns before the LORD’s ark.”
Nunov sin Józue je poklical duhovnike ter jim rekel: »Vzdignite skrinjo zaveze in sedem duhovnikov naj pred Gospodovo skrinjo nosi sedem šofarjev iz ovnovih rogov.«
7 They said to the people, “Advance! March around the city, and let the armed men pass on before the LORD’s ark.”
Ljudstvu pa je rekel: »Pojdite naprej in obkrožite mesto in naj tisti, ki je oborožen, gre naprej pred Gospodovo skrinjo.«
8 It was so, that when Joshua had spoken to the people, the seven priests bearing the seven shofars of rams’ horns before the LORD advanced and blew the shofars, and the ark of the LORD’s covenant followed them.
Pripetilo se je, ko je Józue govoril ljudstvu, da je sedem duhovnikov, nosečih sedem šofarjev iz ovnovih rogov, šlo naprej pred Gospodom in trobilo s šofarji in skrinja Gospodove zaveze jim je sledila.
9 The armed men went before the priests who blew the shofars, and the ark went after them. The shofars sounded as they went.
Oboroženi možje so šli pred duhovniki, ki so trobili na šofarje in zadnja straža je prišla za skrinjo. Duhovniki pa so hodili in trobili s šofarji.
10 Joshua commanded the people, saying, “You shall not shout nor let your voice be heard, neither shall any word proceed out of your mouth until the day I tell you to shout. Then you shall shout.”
Józue je zapovedal ljudstvu, rekoč: »Ne boste kričali niti naredili nobenega hrupa z vašim glasom niti ne bo nobena beseda izšla iz vaših ust do dneva, ko vam zapovem kričati; potem boste kričali.«
11 So he caused the LORD’s ark to go around the city, circling it once. Then they came into the camp, and stayed in the camp.
Tako je Gospodova skrinja obkrožila mesto, ga enkrat obhodila in prišli so v tabor in prenočili v taboru.
12 Joshua rose early in the morning, and the priests took up the LORD’s ark.
Józue je vstal zgodaj zjutraj in duhovniki so dvignili Gospodovo skrinjo.
13 The seven priests bearing the seven shofars of rams’ horns in front of the LORD’s ark went on continually, and blew the shofars. The armed men went in front of them. The rear guard came after the LORD’s ark. The shofars sounded as they went.
Sedem duhovnikov, ki so pred Gospodovo skrinjo nosili sedem šofarjev iz ovnovih rogov, je nenehno hodilo naprej in trobilo s šofarji in oboroženi možje so šli pred njimi, toda zadnja straža je prišla za Gospodovo skrinjo, duhovniki hodeč naprej in trobeč s šofarji.
14 The second day they marched around the city once, and returned into the camp. They did this six days.
Drugi dan so enkrat obkrožili mesto in se vrnili v tabor. Tako so počeli šest dni.
15 On the seventh day, they rose early at the dawning of the day, and marched around the city in the same way seven times. On this day only they marched around the city seven times.
Na sedmi dan se je pripetilo, da so vstali zgodaj, ob jutranjem svitanju in na isti način sedemkrat obkrožili mesto. Samo ta dan so mesto obkrožili sedemkrat.
16 At the seventh time, when the priests blew the shofars, Joshua said to the people, “Shout, for the LORD has given you the city!
Pripetilo se je sedmič, ko so duhovniki zatrobili s šofarji, da je Józue rekel ljudstvu: »Kričite, kajti Gospod vam je dal mesto.
17 The city shall be devoted, even it and all that is in it, to the LORD. Only Rahab the prostitute shall live, she and all who are with her in the house, because she hid the messengers that we sent.
Mesto bo prekleto Gospodu, celó to in vse, kar je v njem. Samo pocestnica Rahába bo živela, ona in vsi, ki so z njo v hiši, ker je skrila poslanca, ki smo ju poslali.
18 But as for you, only keep yourselves from what is devoted to destruction, lest when you have devoted it, you take of the devoted thing; so you would make the camp of Israel accursed and trouble it.
Vi pa se zagotovo zadržite pred prekleto stvarjo, da se ne bi naredili preklete, ko vzamete od preklete stvari in naredite tabor Izraelcev prekletstvo in ga vznemirite.
19 But all the silver, gold, and vessels of bronze and iron are holy to the LORD. They shall come into the LORD’s treasury.”
Toda vse srebro, zlato in posode iz brona in železa so posvečeni Gospodu. Pridejo naj v Gospodovo zakladnico.«
20 So the people shouted and the priests blew the shofars. When the people heard the sound of the shofar, the people shouted with a great shout, and the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man straight in front of him, and they took the city.
Tako je ljudstvo zakričalo, ko so duhovniki zatrobili s šofarji in pripetilo se je, ko je ljudstvo zaslišalo zvok šofarja in je ljudstvo zavpilo z velikim krikom, da je obzidje plosko padlo dol, tako da je ljudstvo odšlo gor v mesto, vsak mož naravnost pred seboj in zavzeli so mesto.
21 They utterly destroyed all that was in the city, both man and woman, both young and old, and ox, sheep, and donkey, with the edge of the sword.
Popolnoma so uničili vse, kar je bilo v mestu, tako moškega kakor žensko, mladega, starega, vola, ovco in osla, z ostrino meča.
22 Joshua said to the two men who had spied out the land, “Go into the prostitute’s house, and bring the woman and all that she has out from there, as you swore to her.”
Toda Józue je rekel dvema možema, ki sta ogledovala deželo: »Pojdita v hišo pocestnice in od tam privedita žensko in vse, kar ima, kakor sta ji prisegla.«
23 The young men who were spies went in, and brought out Rahab with her father, her mother, her brothers, and all that she had. They also brought out all of her relatives, and they set them outside of the camp of Israel.
Mladeniča, ki sta bila oglednika, sta vstopila in privedla ven Rahábo, njenega očeta, njeno mater, njene brate in vse, kar je imela in ven sta privedla vse njeno sorodstvo in jih pustila zunaj tabora Izraelcev.
24 They burnt the city with fire, and all that was in it. Only they put the silver, the gold, and the vessels of bronze and of iron into the treasury of the LORD’s house.
Mesto pa so požgali z ognjem in vse, kar je bilo v njem. Samo srebro, zlato in posode iz brona in iz železa, so dali v zakladnico Gospodove hiše.
25 But Rahab the prostitute, her father’s household, and all that she had, Joshua saved alive. She lives in the middle of Israel to this day, because she hid the messengers whom Joshua sent to spy out Jericho.
Józue je rešil pocestnico Rahábo živo in družino njenega očeta in vse, kar je imela. V Izraelu prebiva do današnjega dne, ker je skrila poslanca, ki ju je Józue poslal, da ogledata Jeriho.
26 Joshua commanded them with an oath at that time, saying, “Cursed is the man before the LORD who rises up and builds this city Jericho. With the loss of his firstborn he will lay its foundation, and with the loss of his youngest son he will set up its gates.”
Ob tistem času jih je Józue zaprisegel, rekoč: »Preklet bodi mož pred Gospodom, ki dvigne in pozida to mesto Jeriho. Njen temelj bo položil v svojem prvorojencu in v njegovem najmlajšem sinu bo postavil njena velika vrata.«
27 So the LORD was with Joshua; and his fame was in all the land.
Tako je bil Gospod z Józuetom in njegova slava je bila razglašena po vsej deželi.
