Josue 6
1 Ang Jerico nga ay lubos na nakukubkob dahil sa mga anak ni Israel: walang nakalalabas, at walang nakapapasok.
Meanwhile, the guards of Jericho shut the gates of the city tightly, because [they were afraid] of the Israeli [army]. No one was allowed to go into the city or go out of it.
2 At sinabi ng Panginoon kay Josue, Tingnan mo, aking ibinigay sa iyong kamay ang Jerico, at ang hari niyaon, at ang mga makapangyarihang lalaking matapang.
Then Yahweh said to Joshua, “Listen [to what I say]! I am going to enable your army [SYN] to capture/conquer [MTY] Jericho and its king and its soldiers.
3 At iyong liligirin ang bayan, lahat ng mga lalaking pangdigma, na liligid na minsan sa bayan. Ganito mo gagawin na anim na araw.
So your army must march around the city for six days, once each day.
4 At pitong saserdote sa unahan ng kaban ay magdadala ng pitong pakakak na mga sungay ng tupa: at sa ikapitong araw ay inyong liligiring makapito ang bayan, at ang mga saserdote ay hihipan ang mga pakakak.
Tell seven priests to march around with them. Each priest must carry a trumpet. Four other priests must carry the sacred chest, and they must walk behind the priests who are carrying the trumpets. On the seventh day, the army must march around the city seven times, and the priests must be blowing the trumpets while they march.
5 At mangyayari, na pagka hinipan nila ng matagal ang sungay ng tupa, at pagka inyong narinig ang tunog ng pakakak, ay hihiyaw ng malakas ang buong bayan; at ang kuta ng bayan ay guguho, at ang bayan ay sasampa ang bawa't isa'y tapatan sa harap niya.
[After they have all marched around the city seven times], the priests must blow their trumpets [once], very loudly. When the Israeli people/soldiers hear that, they must shout loudly. Then the wall of the city will collapse, and all the Israeli people/soldiers will go straight into the city.”
6 At tinawag ni Josue na anak ni Nun ang mga saserdote, at sinabi sa kanila, Buhatin ninyo ang kaban ng tipan, at magdala ang pitong saserdote ng pitong pakakak na mga sungay ng tupa sa unahan ng kaban ng Panginoon.
So Joshua summoned the priests and said to them, “Tell four priests to carry the chest [that contains] the Ten Commandments that Yahweh [gave to us]. [Tell] seven [other] priests to carry trumpets and walk in front of them.”
7 At kaniyang sinabi sa bayan, Magpauna kayo, at ligirin ninyo ang bayan, at papagpaunahin ninyo ang mga lalaking may sandata sa unahan ng kaban ng Panginoon.
And Joshua told the soldiers, “Start marching! March around the city, with several soldiers with weapons marching in front. Behind them will march the seven priests with trumpets, and behind them will march the four priests carrying Yahweh’s [sacred] chest.”
8 At nangyari, na pagkapagsalita ni Josue sa bayan, ay nagpauna sa Panginoon ang pitong saserdote na may tangang pitong pakakak na mga sungay ng tupa, at humihip ng mga pakakak; at ang kaban ng tipan ng Panginoon ay sumusunod sa kanila.
After Joshua told that to the army, the seven priests, each carrying a sacred trumpet, started marching, blowing their trumpets. The four priests who were carrying Yahweh’s sacred chest followed them.
9 At ang mga lalaking may sandata ay nagpauna sa mga saserdote na humihihip ng mga pakakak, at ang bantay likod ay sumusunod sa kaban, na ang mga saserdote ay humihip ng mga pakakak habang sila'y yumayaon.
The group of soldiers carrying weapons marched in front of the priests who were blowing their trumpets, and the rest of the soldiers followed [the four men carrying] the chest. While [they were all marching], [the seven priests] were blowing their trumpets.
10 At iniutos ni Josue sa bayan, na sinasabi, Huwag kayong hihiyaw, ni huwag ninyong iparirinig ang inyong tinig, ni huwag magbubuka ang inyong bibig ng anomang salita, hanggang sa araw na aking sabihing kayo'y humiyaw; kung magkagayo'y hihiyaw kayo.
But [the rest of] the people [were silent, because] Joshua had commanded them, “Do not make a war cry. Do not yell or say anything until the day when I tell you to shout. On that day, you must shout [loudly]!”
11 Sa gayo'y kaniyang iniligid sa bayan ang kaban ng Panginoon, na lumigid na minsan: at sila'y nasok sa kampamento, at tumigil sa kampamento.
So the men carrying Yahweh’s sacred chest and all the others did what Joshua told them to do. They marched around the city once. Then they all returned to their camp and stayed there that night.
12 At si Josue ay bumangong maaga sa kinaumagahan, at binuhat ng mga saserdote ang kaban ng Panginoon.
The next morning, Joshua and the priests got up early, and the four priests carried Yahweh’s sacred chest [again].
13 At ang pitong saserdote na may tangang pitong pakakak na mga sungay ng tupa sa unahan ng kaban ng Panginoon ay yumaon na patuloy, at humihihip ng mga pakakak: at ang mga lalaking may sandata ay nagpauna sa kanila; at ang bantay likod ay sumusunod sa kaban ng Panginoon, na ang mga saserdote ay humihihip ng mga pakakak habang sila'y yumayaon.
The seven priests who were carrying trumpets went in front of [the men carrying] the chest. The seven priests were blowing their trumpets as they marched. The group of soldiers carrying weapons went in front of all the others, and the rest of the army followed all the others. All the time, the seven priests were blowing their trumpets.
14 At sa ikalawang araw ay kanilang niligid na minsan ang bayan, at nagsibalik sa kampamento: kanilang ginawang gayon na anim na araw.
So on that second day they again marched around the city once and then returned to their camp. They did the same thing for six days.
15 At nangyari nang ikapitong araw, na sila'y bumangong maaga sa pagbubukang liwayway, at niligid ang bayan ng gayon ding paraan na makapito: nang araw lamang na yaon kanilang niligid ang bayan na makapito.
On the seventh day, they got up at dawn, and they all marched around the city the same way that they had done before, but this time they marched around the city seven times.
16 At nangyari, sa ikapito, nang humihip ng mga pakakak ang mga saserdote, ay sinabi ni Josue sa bayan, Humiyaw kayo; sapagka't ibinigay na ng Panginoon sa inyo ang bayan.
As they were marching around the seventh time, when the priests were about to blow the long/loud blast on their trumpets, Joshua commanded the people, “Shout, because Yahweh will enable you to capture the city!
17 At ang bayan ay matatalaga sa Panginoon, yaon at ang lahat na tumatahan doon: si Rahab na patutot lamang ang mabubuhay, siya at ang lahat na kasama niya sa bahay, sapagka't kaniyang ikinubli ang mga sugo na ating sinugo.
Yahweh has declared that you must destroy [IDM] the city and everything in it [to show that it belongs to him]. You must spare only Rahab the prostitute and the others who are in her house, because she hid the spies whom we sent there.
18 At kayo, sa anomang paraan ay magsipagingat sa itinalagang bagay; baka pagka naitalaga na sa inyo ay kumuha kayo sa itinalagang bagay; sa gayo'y inyong ipasusumpa ang kampamento ng Israel, at inyong babagabagin.
And because Yahweh has declared that everything must be destroyed [IDM], you must not take [EUP] any of the things in the city. If you take anything, you will cause Yahweh to destroy our own camp and cause terrible things to happen to us.
19 Nguni't lahat na pilak, at ginto, at mga sisidlang tanso at bakal, ay banal sa Panginoon: pawang ipapasok sa silid ng kayamanan ng Panginoon.
But all the silver and gold and articles made from iron and bronze that you find, you must set apart for Yahweh. You must put those things in his treasury.”
20 Sa gayo'y humiyaw ang bayan, at ang mga saserdote ay humihip ng mga pakakak: at nangyari nang marinig ng bayan ang tunog ng pakakak na ang bayan ay humiyaw ng malakas, at ang kuta ay gumuho, na ano pa't ang bayan ay sumampang nasok sa siyudad, na bawa't isa'y matuwid na nagpatuloy, at kanilang sinakop ang bayan.
So they did what Joshua told them to do. When the priests blew a long blast on their trumpets, the people/army shouted loudly, and the wall of the city collapsed! Then the Israeli soldiers rushed in and captured the city.
21 At kanilang lubos na nilipol ng talim ng tabak ang lahat na nasa bayan, ang lalake at gayon din ang babae, ang binata at gayon din ang matanda, at ang baka, at ang tupa, at ang asno.
They killed [IDM] every living thing in the city—men and women, young people and old people, even cattle and sheep and donkeys.
22 At sinabi ni Josue sa dalawang lalaking tumiktik sa lupain, Pumasok kayo sa bahay ng patutot, at ilabas ninyo roon ang babae, at ang lahat niyang tinatangkilik, na gaya ng inyong isinumpa sa kaniya.
Then Joshua said to the two men (who had spied on/whom he had sent to learn all they could about) the land, “Go to the prostitute’s house. Bring her out, along with all her family, just as you promised to her.”
23 At ang mga binata na mga tiktik ay pumasok, at inilabas si Rahab, at ang kaniyang ama, at ang kaniyang ina, at ang kaniyang mga kapatid, at lahat ng kaniyang tinatangkilik; lahat niyang kamaganakan naman ay kanilang inilabas; at kanilang inilagay sila sa labas ng kampamento ng Israel.
So those two spies/men went into Rahab’s house and brought her out. They also brought out her father and mother and her brothers, and all the rest of her family. Joshua’s men spared Rahab the prostitute. They also did not kill all her relatives, because she had hidden and protected the spies/men whom Joshua had sent to Jericho. The two men brought them all out and put them in a place outside the camp of the Israelis. Rahab still lives among us Israeli people. Then the soldiers gathered the articles made from silver, gold, bronze, and iron that they found and they put them all into Yahweh’s treasury. But they burned everything else that was in the city.
24 At kanilang sinunog ng apoy ang bayan, at lahat na nandoon: ang pilak lamang, at ang ginto, at ang mga sisidlang tanso at bakal, ang kanilang ipinasok sa silid ng kayamanan ng bahay ng Panginoon.
25 Nguni't si Rahab na patutot at ang sangbahayan ng kaniyang ama, at ang lahat niyang tinatangkilik, ay iniligtas na buhay ni Josue; at siya'y tumahan sa gitna ng Israel, hanggang sa araw na ito; sapagka't kaniyang ikinubli ang mga sugo na sinugo ni Josue upang tumiktik sa Jerico.
26 At binilinan sila ni Josue sa pamamagitan ng sumpa nang panahong yaon, na sinasabi, Sumpain ang lalake sa harap ng Panginoon, na magbangon at magtayo nitong bayan ng Jerico; kaniyang inilagay ang tatagang-baon niyaon sa kamatayan ng kaniyang panganay, at kaniyang itatayo ang mga pintuang-bayan niyaon sa kamatayan ng kaniyang bunso.
At that time, Joshua warned the people, “Yahweh will curse/punish anyone who tries to rebuild this city, Jericho. When that person lays/builds its foundation, his oldest son will die. And when he finishes building the city wall and sets up its gates, his youngest son will die.”
27 Sa gayo'y ang Panginoon ay sumama kay Josue; at ang kaniyang kabantugan ay lumaganap sa buong lupain.
Because of what happened that day, it was clear that Yahweh was with/helped Joshua, and Joshua became famous throughout the land.
