< Jozue 6 >

1 Torej Jeriha je bila strogo zaprta zaradi Izraelovih otrok. Nihče ni odšel ven in nihče ni prišel noter.
Now Jericho was closed as well as fortified, out of fear of the sons of Israel, and no one dared to depart or to enter.
2 Gospod je rekel Józuetu: »Poglej, v tvojo roko sem izročil Jeriho in njenega kralja in močne junaške može.
And the Lord said to Joshua: “Behold, I have given Jericho into your hand, with its king and all the strong men.
3 Obdali boste mesto, vsi vi bojevniki in enkrat obhodili mesto. Tako boste počeli šest dni.
Have all the warriors circle the city once each day; you shall do so for six days.
4 Sedem duhovnikov bo pred skrinjo nosilo sedem šofarjev iz ovnovih rogov, in sedmi dan boste sedemkrat obkrožili mesto in duhovniki bodo zatrobili s šofarji.
Then, on the seventh day, the priests shall take the seven trumpets, which are used on the jubilee, and they shall precede the ark of the covenant. And you shall circle the city seven times, and the priests shall sound the trumpets.
5 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.«
And when the voice of the trumpet sounds longer and with interruptions, and it increases in your ears, then all the people shall cry out together with a very great shout, and the walls of the city shall fall to the foundation, and they shall enter it, each from a place opposite where they are standing.”
6 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.«
Then Joshua, the son of Nun, called the priests, and he said to them, “Take the ark of the covenant, and let seven other priests take the seven trumpets of the jubilee, and advance before the ark of the Lord.”
7 Ljudstvu pa je rekel: »Pojdite naprej in obkrožite mesto in naj tisti, ki je oborožen, gre naprej pred Gospodovo skrinjo.«
He also said to the people, “Go, and circle the city, armed, preceding the ark of the Lord.”
8 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.
And when Joshua had finished his words, and the seven priests sounded the seven trumpets before the ark of the covenant of the Lord,
9 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.
and all the armed soldiers went ahead, the remainder of the common people followed the ark, and the sound of the trumpets grew louder everywhere.
10 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.«
But Joshua had instructed the people, saying, “You shall not cry out, nor shall your voice be heard, and no word at all shall proceed from your mouth, until the day arrives on which I will say to you, ‘Cry out, and shout.’”
11 Tako je Gospodova skrinja obkrožila mesto, ga enkrat obhodila in prišli so v tabor in prenočili v taboru.
Thus, the ark of the Lord circled the city once each day, and returning to the camp, it remained there.
12 Józue je vstal zgodaj zjutraj in duhovniki so dvignili Gospodovo skrinjo.
And so, with Joshua, arising in the night, the priests took the ark of the Lord,
13 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.
and seven of them took the seven trumpets, which are used in the jubilee, and they preceded the ark of the Lord, walking and sounding the trumpets. And the armed men went before them, and the remainder of the common people followed the ark, and they were blaring the trumpets.
14 Drugi dan so enkrat obkrožili mesto in se vrnili v tabor. Tako so počeli šest dni.
And they circled the city on the second day, once, and they returned to the camp. They did so for six days.
15 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.
Then, on the seventh day, rising at first light, they circled the city, just as had been ordered, seven times.
16 Pripetilo se je sedmič, ko so duhovniki zatrobili s šofarji, da je Józue rekel ljudstvu: »Kričite, kajti Gospod vam je dal mesto.
And at the seventh circling, when the priests sounded the trumpets, Joshua said to all of Israel: “Shout! For the Lord has delivered the city to you.
17 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.
And let this city be anathema, with all the things that are within it, before the Lord. May only Rahab the harlot live, with all who are with her in the house. For she hid the messengers whom we sent.
18 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.
But you must be careful that you do not touch any of those things, as you have been instructed, for then you would be guilty of transgression, and all the camp of Israel would be under sin and would be troubled.
19 Toda vse srebro, zlato in posode iz brona in železa so posvečeni Gospodu. Pridejo naj v Gospodovo zakladnico.«
But whatever gold and silver there will be, and vessels of brass or of iron, let these be consecrated to the Lord and be stored in his treasuries.”
20 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.
Therefore, with all the people shouting, and the trumpets blaring, after the voice and the sound increased in the ears of the multitude, the walls promptly fell to ruin. And each one climbed up at the place which was opposite where he was. And they seized the city.
21 Popolnoma so uničili vse, kar je bilo v mestu, tako moškega kakor žensko, mladega, starega, vola, ovco in osla, z ostrino meča.
And they put to death all who were in it, from man even to woman, from infant even to elder. Likewise, the oxen and sheep and donkeys, they struck down with the edge of the sword.
22 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.«
But Joshua said to the two men who had been sent to explore, “Enter the house of the harlot woman, and bring her out, and all the things that are hers, just as you assured her by oath.”
23 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.
And the youths entered, and they led out Rahab, and her parents, also her brothers, and all her goods and kindred, and they caused them to dwell outside the camp.
24 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.
Then they set fire to the city and all the things that were within it, except the gold and silver, and the vessels of brass or of iron, which they consecrated into the treasury of the Lord.
25 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.
Yet truly, Joshua caused Rahab the harlot, and her father’s household, and all she had, to survive. And they lived in the midst of Israel, even to the present day. For she hid the messengers, whom he had sent to explore Jericho. At that time, Joshua made an invocation, saying:
26 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.«
“Cursed before the Lord is the man who will raise up and rebuild the city of Jericho! With his firstborn, may he lay its foundation, and with the last of his children, may he set up its gates.”
27 Tako je bil Gospod z Józuetom in njegova slava je bila razglašena po vsej deželi.
And so the Lord was with Joshua, and his name was made known throughout all the land.
