Joshua 6
1 (And Jericho shutteth itself up, and is shut up, because of the presence of the sons of Israel — none going out, and none coming in; )
耶利哥城門緊緊關閉，無人出入，以防以色列子民。
2 And Jehovah saith unto Joshua, 'See, I have given into thy hand Jericho and its king — mighty ones of valour,
上主對若蘇厄說：「看，我已將耶利哥和城中的王子，精銳的戰士，都交在你手中。
3 and ye have compassed the city — all the men of battle — going round the city once; thus thou dost six days;
你們所有的戰士要圍繞這城轉一遭，這樣轉六天。
4 and seven priests do bear seven trumpets of the jubilee before the ark, and on the seventh day ye compass the city seven times, and the priests blow with the trumpets,
七位司祭要帶著七個羊角號，在約櫃前面行走；但第七天，要圍繞城轉七遭，並且司祭要吹號角。
5 and it hath been, in the prolongation of the horn of the jubilee, in your hearing the voice of the trumpet, all the people shout — a great shout, and the wall of the city hath fallen under it, and the people have gone up, each over-against him.'
當羊號角吹起長聲時，你們聽見了號角的響聲時，眾百姓應當高聲喊叫；那時城牆必要坍塌，百姓個個要往前直衝。」
6 And Joshua son of Nun calleth unto the priests, and saith unto them, 'Bear ye the ark of the covenant, and seven priests do bear seven trumpets of the jubilee before the ark of Jehovah;'
農的兒子若蘇厄將司祭召來，對他們說：「你們應抬著約櫃，七位司祭帶著七個羊角號，走在上主約櫃的前面。」
7 and He said unto the people, 'Pass over, and compass the city, and he who is armed doth pass over before the ark of Jehovah.'
然後，又對百姓說：「你們要前去圍著城轉，先鋒隊要要走在上主約櫃的前面。」
8 And it cometh to pass, when Joshua speaketh unto the people, that the seven priests bearing seven trumpets of the jubilee before Jehovah have passed over and blown with the trumpets, and the ark of the covenant of Jehovah is going after them;
若蘇厄對百姓說完話以後，那七位帶著羊角號的司祭，走在上主前面，吹著號角，上主的約櫃跟在他們他們後面。
9 and he who is armed is going before the priests blowing the trumpets, and he who is gathering up is going after the ark, going on and blowing with the trumpets;
先鋒隊走在吹號角的司祭前面，後衛隨著約櫃，一面走，一面吹號角。
10 and the people hath Joshua commanded, saying, 'Ye do not shout, nor cause your voice to be heard, nor doth there go out from your mouth a word, till the day of my saying unto you, Shout ye — then ye have shouted.'
若蘇厄向百姓下令說：「你們不可叫喊，不可叫人聽到你們的聲音，連一句話也不可出口，直到我給你們說：「叫喊」那天，你們才可叫喊。
11 And the ark of Jehovah doth compass the city, going round once, and they come into the camp, and lodge in the camp.
這樣上主的約櫃圍城轉了一遭後，眾人就回到中，在營中過夜。
12 And Joshua riseth early in the morning, and the priests bear the ark of Jehovah,
若蘇厄清早起來，司祭又抬起上主的約櫃，
13 and seven priests bearing seven trumpets of the jubilee before the ark of Jehovah are walking, going on, and they have blown with the trumpets — and he who is armed is going before them, and he who is gathering up is going behind the ark of Jehovah — going on and blowing with the trumpets.
七位司祭帶了七個羊號角，走在上主約櫃前面，一面走，一面吹號角；先鋒隊走在他們前面，後衛隊隨在上主約櫃後面，一面走，一面吹號角。
14 And they compass the city on the second day once, and turn back to the camp; thus they have done six days.
第二天他們圍城轉了一遭後，又回到營中；他們這樣行了六天。
15 And it cometh to pass, on the seventh day, that they rise early, at the ascending of the dawn, and compass the city, according to this manner, seven times; (only, on that day they have compassed the city seven times);
到了第七天，早晨黎明時，他們起來，照樣圍城轉了七遭。
16 and it cometh to pass, at the seventh time, the priests have blown with the trumpets, and Joshua saith unto the people, 'Shout ye, for Jehovah hath given to you the city;
到了第七遭，他們吹起了號角，若蘇厄吩咐百姓說：「你們叫喊，因為上主已將這城交給了你們。
17 and the city hath been devoted, it and all that [is] in it, to Jehovah; only Rahab the harlot doth live, she and all who [are] with her in the house, for she hid the messengers whom we sent;
這城和城中所有的一切，都應全完毀滅，歸於上主，只有妓女辣哈布和她家中的人口 可以生存，因為她隱藏了我們所派的使者。
18 and surely ye have kept from the devoted thing, lest ye devote [yourselves], and have taken from the devoted thing, and have made the camp of Israel become a devoted thing, and have troubled it;
但你們要小心，不可私自取用這些應毀之物，免得你們貪心，竊取應毀滅之物，使以色列全營遭受詛咒，陷於不幸。
19 and all the silver and gold, and vessels of brass and iron, holy they [are] to Jehovah; into the treasury of Jehovah they come.'
至於所有的金銀，以及銅鐵的器皿，都應奉獻給上主，歸入上主的府庫。」
20 And the people shout, and blow with the trumpets, and it cometh to pass when the people hear the voice of the trumpet, that the people shout — a great shout, and the wall falleth under it, and the people goeth up into the city, each over-against him, and they capture the city;
百姓於是叫喊，號聲四起；百姓一聽到了號角聲，放聲大叫，城牆便坍塌了；百姓遂上了城，個個向前直衝，攻陷了那城。
21 and they devote all that [is] in the city, from man even unto woman, from young even unto aged, even unto ox, and sheep, and ass, by the mouth of the sword.
將城中所有的一切，不詮男女老幼，牛羊驢馬，都用利劍殺盡。
22 And to the two men who are spying the land Joshua said, 'Go into the house of the woman, the harlot, and bring out thence the woman, and all whom she hath, as ye have sworn to her.'
若蘇厄吩咐偵探這地的兩個人說：「你們到那妓女家裏去，照你們對她起的誓，將那女人和她所有的家人，從那裏領出來。」
23 And the young man, the spies, go in and bring out Rahab, and her father, and her mother, and her brethren, and all whom she hath; yea, all her families they have brought out, and place them at the outside of the camp of Israel.
那兩個年輕偵探就去將辣哈布和她的父母、兄弟和她所有的親戚，都領了出來，安置在以色列營外。
24 And the city they have burnt with fire, and all that [is] in it; only, the silver and the gold, and the vessels of brass, and of iron, they have given [to] the treasury of the house of Jehovah;
此後眾人將城和城中所有的一切都用火燒了；惟獨把金銀以及銅鐵的器皿，送入上主居所的府庫中。
25 and Rahab the harlot, and the house of her father, and all whom she hath, hath Joshua kept alive; and she dwelleth in the midst of Israel unto this day, for she hid the messengers whom Joshua sent to spy out Jericho.
至於妓女辣哈布與她父家，並她所有火家人，若蘇厄使之生存，直到今天，她還住在以色列人中，因為她隱藏了若蘇厄派去偵探耶利哥的兩個使者。
26 And Joshua adjureth [them] at that time, saying, 'Cursed [is] the man before Jehovah who raiseth up and hath built this city, [even] Jericho; in his first-born he doth lay its foundation, and in his youngest he doth set up its doors;'
那時若蘇厄起誓說：「凡著手重建這耶利哥城的人，在上主面前是可咒罵的。他奠基時必喪失長子，安門時必喪失幼兒。」
27 and Jehovah is with Joshua, and his fame is in all the land.
上主與若蘇厄同在，他的名聲傳遍了那一帶地方。
