Yosua 6
1 Pada waktu itu, pintu gerbang kota Yeriko ditutup rapat dan dijaga ketat karena orang Yeriko takut kepada orang Israel. Tidak seorang pun boleh keluar ataupun masuk.
Now all the entrances to Jericho were closed because of the army of Israel. No one went out and no one came in.
2 TUHAN berkata kepada Yosua, “Lihat, Aku menyerahkan Yeriko kepadamu, beserta rajanya dan para panglimanya.
Yahweh said to Joshua, “See, I have delivered Jericho into your hand, its king, and its trained soldiers.
3 Selama enam hari, kamu dan pasukanmu harus mengelilingi kota ini satu kali sehari.
You must march around the city, all the men of war going around the city one time. You must do this for six days.
4 Perintahkan tujuh orang imam untuk berjalan di depan para imam yang mengangkat peti perjanjian, masing-masing membawa terompet dari tanduk domba. Pada hari yang ketujuh, kelilingilah kota itu tujuh kali, sementara para imam meniup terompet.
Seven priests must carry seven trumpets of rams' horns before the ark. On the seventh day, you must march around the city seven times, and the priests must sound blasts on the trumpets.
5 Saat mendengar terompet berbunyi panjang, kalian semua harus berteriak dengan nyaring. Tembok kota itu akan runtuh, dan kalian masing-masing harus memanjat reruntuhan tembok di depanmu lalu masuk kota itu.”
Then they must sound a long blast with the ram's horn, and when you hear the sound of the trumpet all the people must shout with a great shout, and the wall of the city will fall down flat. The soldiers must attack, each one going straight ahead.”
6 Maka Yosua memanggil para imam lalu memerintahkan mereka, “Angkatlah peti perjanjian TUHAN. Tujuh orang imam harus berjalan di depannya, masing-masing membawa terompet dari tanduk domba.”
Then Joshua son of Nun called the priests and said to them, “Take up the ark of the covenant, and let seven priests carry seven trumpets of rams' horns in front of the ark of Yahweh.”
7 Yosua juga berkata kepada pasukannya, “Majulah dan berjalanlah mengelilingi kota itu, dengan pasukan bersenjata berjalan di depan peti perjanjian.”
He said to the people, “Go over and march around the city, and the armed men will go ahead of the ark of Yahweh.”
8 Sesudah Yosua memberikan perintah, mulailah pasukan bersenjata berjalan di depan, diikuti oleh ketujuh imam yang meniup terompet, lalu para imam yang membawa peti perjanjian TUHAN, dan pasukan selebihnya di belakang.
Just as Joshua had said to the people, the seven priests carried the seven trumpets of rams' horns before Yahweh. As they advanced, they gave a blast on the trumpets. The ark of the covenant of Yahweh followed after them.
Armed men walked before the priests, and they made a blast on their trumpets, but then the rear guard walked up behind the ark, and the priests blew their trumpets continually.
10 Yosua sudah memerintahkan pasukan itu, “Jangan berteriak ataupun mengeluarkan suara. Jangan mengatakan apa pun juga sampai pada hari ketika saya menyuruh kalian berteriak. Pada waktu itu barulah kalian harus berteriak!”
But Joshua commanded the people, saying, “Do not shout. No sound must leave your mouths until the day I tell you to shout. Only then you must shout.”
11 Maka mereka membawa peti perjanjian mengelilingi kota itu satu kali. Kemudian mereka kembali ke perkemahan dan bermalam di situ.
So he caused the ark of Yahweh to go around the city one time that day. Then they entered their camp, and they stayed the night in the camp.
12 Besoknya, Yosua bangun pagi-pagi sekali. Dan seperti sebelumnya, para imam bersama pasukan kembali mengelilingi kota itu. Pasukan bersenjata di depan, diikuti oleh tujuh imam yang meniup terompet terus menerus, lalu para imam yang mengangkat peti perjanjian TUHAN, dan pasukan selebihnya di belakang.
Then Joshua got up early in the morning, and the priests picked up the ark of Yahweh.
The seven priests, who were carrying the seven trumpets of rams' horns in front of the ark of Yahweh, walked steadily and gave blasts on the trumpets. Armed soldiers were walking in front of them. But when the rear guard walked after the ark of Yahweh, then the trumpets gave out continual blasts.
14 Di hari kedua, mereka kembali mengelilingi kota itu satu kali, lalu kembali ke perkemahan. Hal itu mereka lakukan selama enam hari berturut-turut.
They marched around the city one time the second day and returned to the camp. They did this for six days.
15 Pada hari yang ketujuh, mereka bangun pagi sekali dan mengelilingi kota itu seperti sebelumnya, hanya saja kali ini mereka mengelilinginya tujuh kali.
It was on the seventh day that they got up early at daybreak, and they marched around the city in the same way that was their pattern, this time for seven times. It was on this day that they marched around the city seven times.
16 Pada putaran yang ketujuh, para imam meniup terompet tanduk dan Yosua berkata kepada pasukan, “Bersoraklah, karena TUHAN sudah memberikan kota ini kepada kalian!
It was on the seventh day, when the priests gave a blast with the trumpets, that Joshua commanded the people, “Shout! For Yahweh has given you the city.
17 Yeriko dan segala isinya harus dimusnahkan sebagai persembahan bagi TUHAN. Hanya Rahab, pelacur itu, dan semua orang di rumahnya yang dibiarkan hidup, karena dia sudah menyembunyikan mata-mata kita.
The city and all that is in it will be set apart to Yahweh for destruction. Only Rahab the prostitute will live—she and all the ones with her in her house—because she hid the men we sent.
18 “Jangan mengambil apa pun yang harus dimusnahkan. Kalau kalian mengambil sesuatu, perkemahan kita sendiri akan dihancurkan dan kita akan ditimpa musibah.
But as for you, be on guard about taking the things set apart for destruction, so that after you mark them for destruction, you do not then take any of them. If you do this, you will make the camp of Israel something that must be destroyed and you will bring trouble on it.
19 Semua perak dan emas, serta barang-barang dari perunggu dan besi, adalah milik TUHAN. Semua itu harus dibawa ke tempat penyimpanan harta milik TUHAN.”
All the silver, gold, and the things made of bronze and iron are set apart to Yahweh. They must go into the treasury of Yahweh.”
20 Ketika orang Israel mendengar bunyi terompet, mereka berteriak sangat keras. Lalu tembok Yeriko runtuh dan seluruh pasukan menyerbu masuk ke dalam kota itu dan menguasainya.
When they gave blasts with the trumpets, the people gave a great shout and the wall fell down flat, so every man charged straight in and captured the city.
21 Mereka membunuh semua yang ada di kota itu, baik laki-laki maupun perempuan, tua maupun muda, bahkan semua ternak sapi, domba, dan keledai.
They completely destroyed all that was in the city by the edge of the sword—man and woman, young and old, oxen, sheep and donkeys.
22 Sebelumnya, Yosua sudah berkata kepada dua mata-mata yang menyelidiki negeri itu, “Masuklah ke rumah pelacur itu dan bawalah dia keluar bersama seluruh keluarganya, seperti yang sudah kalian janjikan kepadanya.”
Then Joshua said to the two men who had spied out the land, “Go into the prostitute's house. Bring out the woman and all who are with her, as you swore to her.”
23 Maka kedua mata-mata muda itu pergi dan membawa Rahab keluar bersama ayahnya, ibu, saudara-saudara, dan semua sanak saudara yang bersama dia ke tempat aman di dekat perkemahan orang Israel.
So the young men who had been spies went in and brought Rahab out. They brought out her father, mother, brothers, and all the relatives that were with her. They brought them to a place outside the camp of Israel.
24 Lalu orang Israel membakar kota itu dan semua yang ada di dalamnya, kecuali perak, emas, dan barang-barang dari perunggu dan besi. Mereka mengambil barang-barang itu untuk disimpan di tempat penyimpanan harta milik TUHAN.
They burned the city and everything in it. Only the silver, gold, and the vessels of bronze and iron were put into the treasury of the house of Yahweh.
25 Tetapi Yosua membiarkan Rahab, pelacur itu, dan keluarganya yang bersama dengan dia tetap hidup. Keturunan Rahab tinggal di antara orang Israel sampai kitab ini ditulis karena dia menyembunyikan mata-mata yang diutus Yosua ke Yeriko.
But Joshua allowed Rahab the prostitute, her father's household, and all that were with her to live. She lives in Israel to this day because she hid the men whom Joshua sent to spy on Jericho.
26 Pada waktu itu Yosua memberi peringatan keras, “Siapa pun yang berusaha membangun kembali kota Yeriko akan dikutuk oleh TUHAN. Dia akan kehilangan anak sulungnya saat meletakkan fondasi benteng kota dan akan kehilangan anak bungsunya saat mendirikan pintu gerbangnya!”
Then Joshua commanded them at that time with an oath, and he said, “Cursed is the man in Yahweh's sight who rebuilds this city, Jericho. At the cost of his firstborn son, he will lay the foundation, and at the cost of his youngest son, he will set up its gates.”
27 TUHAN menyertai Yosua dan menjadikan dia terkenal di seluruh negeri itu.
So Yahweh was with Joshua, and his fame spread throughout the land.
