Iosue 6
1 Hiericho autem clausa erat atque munita timore filiorum Israhel et nullus egredi audebat aut ingredi
Now Iericho was shut vp, and closed, because of the children of Israel: none might go out nor enter in.
2 dixitque Dominus ad Iosue ecce dedi in manus tuas Hiericho et regem eius omnesque fortes viros
And the Lord saide vnto Ioshua, Behold, I haue giuen into thine hand Iericho and the King thereof, and the strong men of warre.
3 circuite urbem cuncti bellatores semel per diem sic facietis sex diebus
All ye therefore that be men of warre, shall compasse the citie, in going round about the citie once: thus shall you doe sixe dayes:
4 septimo autem die sacerdotes tollant septem bucinas quarum usus est in iobeleo et praecedant arcam foederis septiesque circuibitis civitatem et sacerdotes clangent bucinis
And seuen Priests shall beare seuen trumpets of rams hornes before the Arke: and the seuenth day ye shall compasse the citie seuen times, and the Priests shall blow with the trumpets.
5 cumque insonuerit vox tubae longior atque concisior et in auribus vestris increpuerit conclamabit omnis populus vociferatione maxima et muri funditus corruent civitatis ingredienturque singuli per locum contra quem steterint
And when they make a long blast with the rams horne, and ye heare the sound of the trumpet, al the people shall shoute with a great shoute: then shall the wall of the citie fall downe flat, and the people shall ascend vp, euery man streight before him.
6 vocavit ergo Iosue filius Nun sacerdotes et dixit ad eos tollite arcam foederis et septem alii sacerdotes tollant septem iobeleorum bucinas et incedant ante arcam Domini
Then, Ioshua the sonne of Nun called the Priests and said vnto them, Take vp the Arke of the couenant, and let seuen Priests beare seuen trumpets of rams hornes before the Arke of the Lord.
7 ad populum quoque ait vadite et circuite civitatem armati praecedentes arcam Domini
But he said vnto the people, Goe and compasse the citie: and let him that is armed, go forth before the Arke of the Lord.
8 cumque Iosue verba finisset et septem sacerdotes septem bucinis clangerent ante arcam foederis Domini
And when Ioshua had spoken vnto the people, the seuen Priestes bare the seuen trumpets of rams hornes, and went foorth before the Arke of the Lord, and blew with the trumpets, and the Arke of the couenant of ye Lord followed them.
9 omnisque praecederet armatus exercitus reliquum vulgus arcam sequebatur ac bucinis omnia concrepabant
And the men of armes went before the Priestes, that blewe the trumpets: then the gathering hoste came after the Arke, as they went and blewe the trumpets.
10 praeceperat autem Iosue populo dicens non clamabitis nec audietur vox vestra neque ullus sermo ex ore vestro egredietur donec veniat dies in quo dicam vobis clamate et vociferamini
(Nowe Ioshua had commanded the people, saying, Ye shall nor shout, neither make any noyse with your voyce, neither shall a worde proceede out of your mouth, vntill the day that I say vnto you, Shout, then shall ye shoute)
11 circuivit ergo arca Domini civitatem semel per diem et reversa in castra mansit ibi
So the Arke of the Lord compassed the citie, and went about it once: then they returned into the hoaste, and lodged in the campe.
12 igitur Iosue de nocte consurgente tulerunt sacerdotes arcam Domini
And Ioshua rose early in the morning, and the Priestes bare the Arke of the Lord:
13 et septem ex eis septem bucinas quarum in iobeleis usus est praecedebantque arcam Domini ambulantes atque clangentes et armatus populus ibat ante eos vulgus autem reliquum sequebatur arcam et bucinis personabat
Also seuen Priests bare seuen trumpets of rams hornes, and went before the Arke of the Lord, and going blewe with the trumpets: and the men of armes went before them, but the gathering hoste came after the Arke of the Lord, as they went and blewe the trumpets.
14 circumieruntque civitatem secundo die semel et reversi sunt in castra sic fecerunt sex diebus
And the second day they compassed the citie once, and returned into the host: thus they did sixe dayes.
15 die autem septimo diluculo consurgentes circumierunt urbem sicut dispositum erat septies
And when the seuenth day came, they rose early, euen with the dawning of the day, and compassed the citie after ye same maner seuen times: only that day they compassed the citie seuen times.
16 cumque septimo circuitu clangerent bucinis sacerdotes dixit Iosue ad omnem Israhel vociferamini tradidit enim vobis Dominus civitatem
And when the Priests had blowen ye trumpets the seuenth time, Ioshua said vnto ye people, Shoute: for the Lord hath giuen you the citie.
17 sitque civitas haec anathema et omnia quae in ea sunt Domino sola Raab meretrix vivat cum universis qui cum ea in domo sunt abscondit enim nuntios quos direximus
And the citie shalbe an execrable thing, both it, and all that are therein, vnto the Lord: onely Rahab the harlot shall liue, shee, and all that are with her in the house: for shee hid the messengers that we sent.
18 vos autem cavete ne de his quae praecepta sunt quippiam contingatis et sitis praevaricationis rei et omnia castra Israhel sub peccato sint atque turbentur
Notwithstanding, be ye ware of the execrable thing, lest ye make your selues execrable, and in taking of the execrable thing, make also the hoste of Israel execrable, and trouble it.
19 quicquid autem auri et argenti fuerit et vasorum aeneorum ac ferri Domino consecretur repositum in thesauris eius
But all siluer, and gold, and vessels of brasse, and yron shalbe consecrate vnto the Lord, and shall come into the Lordes treasury.
20 igitur omni vociferante populo et clangentibus tubis postquam in aures multitudinis vox sonitusque increpuit muri ilico corruerunt et ascendit unusquisque per locum qui contra se erat ceperuntque civitatem
So the people shouted, whe they had blowen trumpets: for when the people had heard the sound of the trumpet, they shouted with a great shoute: and the wall fel downe flat: so the people went vp into the citie, euery man streight before him: and they tooke the citie.
21 et interfecerunt omnia quae erant in ea a viro usque ad mulierem ab infante usque ad senem boves quoque et oves et asinos in ore gladii percusserunt
And they vtterly destroyed all that was in the citie, both man and woman, yong, and olde, and oxe, and sheepe, and asse, with the edge of the sword.
22 duobus autem viris qui exploratores missi fuerant dixit Iosue ingredimini domum mulieris meretricis et producite eam omniaque quae illius sunt sicut illi iuramento firmastis
But Ioshua had said vnto the two men that had spied out the countrey, Go into the harlots house, and bring out thence the woman, and all that she hath, as ye sware to her.
23 ingressique iuvenes eduxerunt Raab et parentes eius fratres quoque et cunctam supellectilem ac cognationem illius et extra castra Israhel manere fecerunt
So the yong men that were spies, went in, and brought out Rahab, and her father, and her mother, and her brethren, and all that shee had: also they brought out all her familie, and put them without the host of Israel.
24 urbem autem et omnia quae in ea sunt succenderunt absque argento et auro et vasis aeneis ac ferro quae in aerarium Domini consecrarunt
After they burnt the citie with fire, and all that was therein: onely the siluer and the gold, and the vessels of brasse and yron, they put vnto the treasure of the house of the Lord.
25 Raab vero meretricem et domum patris eius atque omnia quae habebat fecit Iosue vivere et habitaverunt in medio Israhel usque in praesentem diem eo quod absconderit nuntios quos miserat ut explorarent Hiericho in tempore illo inprecatus est Iosue dicens
So Ioshua saued Rahab the harlot, and her fathers houshold, and all that shee had; and shee dwelt in Israel euen vnto this day, because shee had hid the messengers, which Ioshua sent to spie out Iericho.
26 maledictus vir coram Domino qui suscitaverit et aedificaverit civitatem Hiericho in primogenito suo fundamenta illius iaciat et in novissimo liberorum ponat portas eius
And Ioshua sware at that time, saying, Cursed be the man before ye Lord, that riseth vp, and buildeth this citie Iericho: hee shall lay the foundation thereof in his eldest sonne, and in his yongest sonne shall hee set vp the gates of it.
27 fuit ergo Dominus cum Iosue et nomen eius in omni terra vulgatum est
So the Lord was with Ioshua, and he was famous through all the world.
