< Joshua 6 >
1 Forsothe Jerico was closid and wardid, for the drede of the sones of Israel, and no man durste entre, ethir go out.
耶利哥的城门因以色列人就关得严紧,无人出入。
2 And the Lord seide to Josue, Lo! Y yaf in to thin hondis Jerico, and the king therof, and alle strong men.
耶和华晓谕约书亚说:“看哪,我已经把耶利哥和耶利哥的王,并大能的勇士,都交在你手中。
3 Alle ye fiyteris, cumpasse the citee onys bi the day; so ye schulen do in sixe daies.
你们的一切兵丁要围绕这城,一日围绕一次,六日都要这样行。
4 Forsothe in the seuenthe dai the preestis schulen take seuene clariouns, of whiche `the vss is in iubile; and thei schulen go bifor the arke of boond of pees; and seuen sithes ye schulen cumpasse the citee, and the preestis schulen trumpe with clariouns.
七个祭司要拿七个羊角走在约柜前。到第七日,你们要绕城七次,祭司也要吹角。
5 And whanne the vois of the trumpe schal sowne lengere, and more bi whiles, and schal sowne in youre eeris, al the puple schal crie togidere with gretteste cry; and the wallis of the citee schulen falle alle doun, and alle men schulen entre bi the place, ayens which thei stonden.
他们吹的角声拖长,你们听见角声,众百姓要大声呼喊,城墙就必塌陷,各人都要往前直上。”
6 Therfor Josue, the sone of Nun, clepide preestis, and seide to hem, Take ye the ark of boond of pees, and seuene othere preestis take seuene clariouns of iubile yeeris, and go thei bifor the arke of the Lord.
嫩的儿子约书亚召了祭司来,吩咐他们说:“你们抬起约柜来,要有七个祭司拿七个羊角走在耶和华的约柜前”;
7 Also Josue seide to the puple, Go ye, and cumpasse ye the citee, and go ye armed bifor the arke of the Lord.
又对百姓说:“你们前去绕城,带兵器的要走在耶和华的约柜前。”
8 And whanne Josue hadde endid the wordis, and seuene preestis trumpiden with seuen clariouns bifor the arke of boond of pees of the Lord,
约书亚对百姓说完了话,七个祭司拿七个羊角走在耶和华面前吹角;耶和华的约柜在他们后面跟随。
9 and al the puple armed yede bifore, the tothir comyn puple of fiyteris suede the arke, and alle thingis sowneden with clariouns.
带兵器的走在吹角的祭司前面,后队随着约柜行。祭司一面走一面吹。
10 Sotheli Josue comaundide to the puple, and seide, Ye schulen not crye, nethir youre vois schal be herd, nethir ony word schal go out of youre mouth, til the dai come, in which Y schal seie to you, Crye ye, and make ye noyse.
约书亚吩咐百姓说:“你们不可呼喊,不可出声,连一句话也不可出你们的口,等到我吩咐你们呼喊的日子,那时才可以呼喊。”
11 Therfor the arke of the Lord cumpasside the citee onys bi day, and turnede ayen in to the castels, and dwellide there.
这样,他使耶和华的约柜绕城,把城绕了一次;众人回到营里,就在营里住宿。
12 Therfor while Josue roos bi nyyt, preestis tooken the arke of the Lord;
约书亚清早起来,祭司又抬起耶和华的约柜。
13 and seuene of the preestis token seuen clariouns, of whiche `the vss is in iubilee, and yeden bifor the arke of the Lord, `and yeden, and trumpiden; and the puple yede armed bifor hem. Sotheli the tother comyn puple suede the arke, and sownede with clariouns.
七个祭司拿七个羊角在耶和华的约柜前,时常行走吹角;带兵器的在他们前面走,后队随着耶和华的约柜行。祭司一面走一面吹。
14 And thei cumpassiden the citee in the secunde dai onys, and turneden ayen in to the castels; so thei dyden in sixe daies.
第二日,众人把城绕了一次,就回营里去。六日都是这样行。
15 Sotheli in the seuenthe dai thei risiden eerli, and cumpassiden the citee, as it was disposid, seuen sithis.
第七日清早,黎明的时候,他们起来,照样绕城七次;惟独这日把城绕了七次。
16 And whanne in the seuenthe cumpas preestis sowneden with clariouns, Josue seide to al Israel, Crie ye, for the Lord hath bitake the citee to vs;
到了第七次,祭司吹角的时候,约书亚吩咐百姓说:“呼喊吧,因为耶和华已经把城交给你们了!
17 and this citee be cursid, ethir distried, and alle thingis that ben therynne be halewid to the Lord. Raab the hoor aloone lyue, with alle men that ben with hir in the hows; for sche hidde the messangeris whiche we senten.
这城和其中所有的都要在耶和华面前毁灭;只有妓女喇合与她家中所有的可以存活,因为她隐藏了我们所打发的使者。
18 Forsothe be ye war, lest ye touchen ony thing of these that ben comaundid to you, and ye ben gilti of trespassyng; and alle the castels of Israel be vndur synne, and be troblid.
至于你们,务要谨慎,不可取那当灭的物,恐怕你们取了那当灭的物就连累以色列的全营,使全营受咒诅。
19 Sotheli what euer thing is of gold, and of siluer, and of brasun vessels, and of yrun, be halewid to the Lord, and be kept in hise tresoris.
惟有金子、银子,和铜铁的器皿都要归耶和华为圣,必入耶和华的库中。”
20 Therfor while al the puple criede, and the trumpis sowneden, aftir that the sowne sownede in the eeris of the multitude, the walles felden doun anoon; and ech man stiede bi the place that was ayens hym. And thei token the citee,
于是百姓呼喊,祭司也吹角。百姓听见角声,便大声呼喊,城墙就塌陷,百姓便上去进城,各人往前直上,将城夺取;
21 and killiden alle thingis that weren therynne, fro man `til to womman, fro yong child `til to eld man; also thei smytiden bi the scharpnesse of swerd, oxun, and scheep, and assis.
又将城中所有的,不拘男女老少,牛羊和驴,都用刀杀尽。
22 Forsothe Josue seide to twei men, that weren sent aspieris, Entre ye in to the hows of the womman hoore, and brynge ye forth hir, and alle thingis that ben herne, as ye maden stedfast to hir bi an ooth.
约书亚吩咐窥探地的两个人说:“你们进那妓女的家,照着你们向她所起的誓,将那女人和她所有的都从那里带出来。”
23 And the yonge men entriden, and ledden out Raab, and her fadir, and modir, and britheren, and al the purtenaunce of houshold, and the kynrede `of hir; and maden to dwelle without the castels of Israel.
当探子的两个少年人就进去,将喇合与她的父母、弟兄,和她所有的,并她一切的亲眷,都带出来,安置在以色列的营外。
24 Sotheli thei brenten the citee, and alle thingis that weren foundun therynne, without gold, and siluer, and brasun vesselis, and yrun, which thei halewiden in to the `treserie of the Lord.
众人就用火将城和其中所有的焚烧了;惟有金子、银子,和铜铁的器皿都放在耶和华殿的库中。
25 Sotheli Josue made Raab the hoore to lyue, and `the hows of hir fadir, and alle thingis that sche hadde; and thei dwelliden in the myddis of Israel, `til in to present dai; for sche hidde the messangeris, whiche he sente to asspie Jerico. In that tyme Josue preiede hertli,
约书亚却把妓女喇合与她父家,并她所有的,都救活了;因为她隐藏了约书亚所打发窥探耶利哥的使者,她就住在以色列中,直到今日。
26 and seide, Cursid bifor the Lord be the man, that reisith and bildith the citee of Jerico! Leie he the foundementis therof in his firste gendrid sone, and putte he the yatis therof in the laste of fre children.
当时,约书亚叫众人起誓说:“有兴起重修这耶利哥城的人,当在耶和华面前受咒诅。 他立根基的时候,必丧长子, 安门的时候,必丧幼子。”
27 Therfor the Lord was with Josue, and his name was pupplischid in ech lond.
耶和华与约书亚同在,约书亚的声名传扬遍地。
