여호수아 6

1이스라엘 자손들로 인하여 여리고는 굳게 닫혔고 출입하는 자 없더라 2여호와께서 여호수아에게 이르시되 보라 내가 여리고와 그 왕과 용사들을 네 손에 붙였으니 3너희 모든 군사는 성을 둘러 성 주위를 매일 한 번씩 돌되 엿새 동안을 그리하라 4제사장 일곱은 일곱 양각나팔을 잡고 언약궤 앞에서 행할 것이요 제칠일에는 성을 일곱 번 돌며 제사장들은 나팔을 불 것이며 5제사장들이 양각나팔을 길게 울려 불어서 그 나팔 소리가 너희에게 들릴 때에는 백성은 다 큰 소리로 외쳐 부를 것이라 그리하면그 성벽이 무너져 내리리니 백성은 각기 앞으로 올라갈지니라 하시매 6눈의 아들 여호수아가 제사장들을 불러서 그들에게 이르되 너희는 언약궤를 메고 일곱 제사장은 일곱 양각나팔을 잡고 여호와의 궤 앞에서 행하라 하고 7또 백성에게 이르되 나아가서 성을 돌되 무장한 자들이 여호와의 궤 앞에 행할지니라 8여호수아가 백성에게 이르기를 마치매 제사장 일곱이 일곱 양각 나팔을 잡고 여호와 앞에서 진행하며 나팔을 불고 여호와의 언약궤는 그 뒤를 따르며 9무장한 자들은 나팔 부는 제사장들 앞에서 진행하며 후군은 궤 뒤에 행하고 제사장들은 나팔을 불며 행하더라 10여호수아가 백성에게 명하여 가로되 너희는 외치지 말며 너희 음성을 들레지 말며 너희 입에서 아무 말도 내지 말라 그리하다가 내가 너희에게 명하여 외치라 하는 날에 외칠지니라 하고 11여호와의 궤로 성을 한 번 돌게 하니라 무리가 진에 돌아와서 진에서 자니라 12여호수아가 아침에 일찍이 일어나니라 제사장들이 여호와의 궤를 메고 13일곱 제사장은 일곱 양각나팔을 잡고 여호와의 궤 앞에서 계속 진행하며 나팔을 불고 무장한 자들은 그 앞에 행하며 후군은 여호와의 궤 뒤에 행하고 제사장들은 나팔을 불며 행하니라 14그 제이일에도 성을 한번 돌고 진에 돌아오니라 엿새 동안을 이같이 행하니라 15제칠일 새벽에 그들이 일찍이 일어나서 여전한 방식으로 성을 일곱 번 도니 성을 일곱 번 돌기는 그 날뿐이었더라 16일곱 번째에 제사장들이 나팔을 불 때에 여호수아가 백성에게 이르되 외치라 여호와께서 너희에게 이 성을 주셨느니라 17이 성과 그 가운데 모든 물건은 여호와께 바치되 기생 라합과 무릇 그 집에 동거하는 자는 살리라 이는 그가 우리의 보낸 사자를 숨겼음이니라 18너희는 바칠 물건을 스스로 삼가라 너희가 그것을 바친 후에 그 바친 어느 것이든지 취하면 이스라엘 진으로 바침이 되어 화를 당케 할까 두려워하노라 19은금과 동철 기구들은 다 여호와께 구별될 것이니 그것을 여호와의 곳간에 들일지니라 20이에 백성은 외치고 제사장들은 나팔을 불매 백성이 나팔 소리를 듣는 동시에 크게 소리질러 외치니 성벽이 무너져 내린지라 백성이 각기 앞으로 나아가 성에 들어가서 그 성을 취하고 21성 중에 있는 것을 다 멸하되 남녀 노유와 우양과 나귀를 칼날로 멸하니라 22여호수아가 그 땅을 정탐한 두 사람에게 이르되 그 기생의 집에 들어 가서 너희가 그 여인에게 맹세한 대로 그와 그에게 속한 모든 것을 이끌어내라 하매 23정탐한 소년들이 들어가서 라합과 그 부모와 그 형제와 그에게 속한 모든 것을 이끌어 내고 또 그 친족도 다 이끌어 내어 그들을 이스라엘 진 밖에 두고 24무리가 불로 성읍과 그 가운데 있는 모든 것을 사르고 은금과 동철 기구는 여호와의 집 곳간에 두었더라 25여호수아가 기생 라합과 그 아비의 가족과 그에게 속한 모든 것을 살렸으므로 그가 오늘날까지 이스라엘 중에 거하였으니 이는 여호수아가 여리고를 탐지하려고 보낸 사자를 숨겼음이었더라 26여호수아가 그 때에 맹세로 무리를 경계하여 가로되 이 여리고 성을 누구든지 일어나서 건축하는 자는 여호와 앞에서 저주를 받을 것이라 그 기초를 쌓을 때에 장자를 잃을 것이요 문을 세울 때에 계자를 잃으리라 하였더라 27여호와께서 여호수아와 함께 하시니 여호수아의 명성이 그 온 땅에 퍼지니라

1Now Jericho was tightly shut up because of the children of Israel. No one went out, and no one came in. 2Yahweh said to Joshua, “Behold, I have given Jericho into your hand, with its king and the mighty men of valor. 3All your men of war shall march around the city, going around the city once. You shall do this six days. 4Seven priests shall bear seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the ark. On the seventh day, you shall march around the city seven times, and the priests shall blow the trumpets. 5It shall be that when they make a long blast with the ram’s horn, and when you hear the sound of the trumpet, all the people shall shout with a great shout; and the wall of the city shall fall down flat, and the people shall go up every man straight before him.” 6Joshua the son of Nun called the priests, and said to them, “Take up the ark of the covenant, and let seven priests bear seven trumpets of rams’ horns before Yahweh’s ark.” 7They said to the people, “Advance! March around the city, and let the armed men pass on before Yahweh’s ark.” 8It was so, that when Joshua had spoken to the people, the seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams’ horns before Yahweh advanced, and blew the trumpets; and the ark of the covenant of Yahweh followed them. 9The armed men went before the priests who blew the trumpets, and the ark went after them. The trumpets sounded as they went. 10Joshua commanded the people, saying, “You shall not shout, nor let your voice be heard, neither shall any word proceed out of your mouth, until the day I tell you to shout. Then you shall shout.” 11So he caused Yahweh’s ark to go around the city, going about it once. Then they came into the camp, and lodged in the camp. 12Joshua rose early in the morning, and the priests took up Yahweh’s ark. 13The seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams’ horns before Yahweh’s ark went on continually, and blew the trumpets: and the armed men went before them. The rear guard came after Yahweh’s ark. The trumpets sounded as they went. 14The second day they marched around the city once, and returned into the camp. They did this six days. 15On the seventh day, they rose early at the dawning of the day, and marched around the city in the same way seven times. Only on this day they marched around the city seven times. 16At the seventh time, when the priests blew the trumpets, Joshua said to the people, “Shout, for Yahweh has given you the city! 17The city shall be devoted, even it and all that is in it, to Yahweh. Only Rahab the prostitute shall live, she and all who are with her in the house, because she hid the messengers that we sent. 18But as for you, only keep yourselves from the devoted thing, lest when you have devoted it, you take of the devoted thing; so would you make the camp of Israel accursed, and trouble it. 19But all the silver, and gold, and vessels of brass and iron, are holy to Yahweh. They shall come into Yahweh’s treasury.” 20So the people shouted, and the priests blew the trumpets. When the people heard the sound of the trumpet, the people shouted with a great shout, and the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they took the city. 21They utterly destroyed all that was in the city, both man and woman, both young and old, and ox, and sheep, and donkey, with the edge of the sword. 22Joshua said to the two men who had spied out the land, “Go into the prostitute’s house, and bring out from there the woman and all that she has, as you swore to her.” 23The young men who were spies went in, and brought out Rahab with her father, her mother, her brothers, and all that she had. They also brought out all her relatives, and they set them outside of the camp of Israel. 24They burnt the city with fire, and all that was in it. Only they put the silver, the gold, and the vessels of brass and of iron into the treasury of Yahweh’s house. 25But Rahab the prostitute, her father’s household, and all that she had, Joshua saved alive. She lived in the midst of Israel to this day, because she hid the messengers, whom Joshua sent to spy out Jericho. 26Joshua commanded them with an oath at that time, saying, “Cursed is the man before Yahweh, who rises up and builds this city Jericho. With the loss of his firstborn shall he lay its foundation, and with the loss of his youngest son shall he set up its gates.” 27So Yahweh was with Joshua; and his fame was in all the land.

1(Jericho nu sloot de poorten toe, en was gesloten, voor het aangezicht van de kinderen Israels; er ging niemand uit, en er ging niemand in.) 2Toen zeide de HEERE tot Jozua: Zie, Ik heb Jericho met haar koning en strijdbare helden in uw hand gegeven. 3Gij dan allen, die krijgslieden zijt, zult rondom de stad gaan, de stad omringende eenmaal; alzo zult gij doen zes dagen lang. 4En zeven priesters zullen zeven ramsbazuinen dragen, voor de ark; en gijlieden zult op den zevenden dag de stad zevenmaal omgaan; en de priesters zullen met de bazuinen blazen. 5En het zal geschieden, als men langzaam met den ramshoorn blaast, als gijlieden het geluid der bazuin hoort, zo zal al het volk juichen met een groot gejuich; dan zal de stadsmuur onder zich vallen, en het volk zal daarin klimmen, een iegelijk tegenover zich. 6Toen riep Jozua, de zoon van Nun, de priesters, en zeide tot hen: Draagt de ark des verbonds, en dat zeven priesters zeven ramsbazuinen dragen, voor de ark des HEEREN. 7En tot het volk zeide hij: Trekt door en gaat rondom deze stad; en wie toegerust is, die ga door voor de ark des HEEREN. 8En het geschiedde, gelijk Jozua tot het volk gesproken had, zo gingen de zeven priesters, dragende zeven ramsbazuinen, voor het aangezicht des HEEREN; zij trokken door en bliezen met de bazuinen; en de ark des verbonds des HEEREN volgde hen na; 9En wie toegerust was, ging voor het aangezicht der priesteren, die de bazuinen bliezen; en de achtertocht volgde de ark na, terwijl men ging en blies met de bazuinen. 10Jozua nu had het volk geboden, zeggende: Gij zult niet juichen, ja, gij zult uw stem niet laten horen, en geen woord zal er uit uw mond uitgaan, tot op den dag, wanneer ik tot ulieden zeggen zal: Juicht! dan zult gij juichen. 11En hij deed de ark des HEEREN rondom de stad gaan, omringende dezelve eenmaal; toen kwamen zij weder in het leger, en vernachtten in het leger. 12Daarna stond Jozua des morgens vroeg op, en de priesters droegen de ark des HEEREN. 13En de zeven priesters, dragende de zeven ramsbazuinen voor de ark des HEEREN, gingen voort, en bliezen met de bazuinen; en de toegerusten gingen voor hun aangezichten, en de achtertocht volgde de ark des HEEREN na, terwijl men ging en blies met de bazuinen. 14Alzo gingen zij eenmaal rondom de stad op den tweeden dag; en zij keerden weder in het leger. Alzo deden zij zes dagen lang. 15En het geschiedde op den zevenden dag, dat zij zich vroeg opmaakten, met het opgaan des dageraads, en zij gingen rondom de stad, naar dezelve wijze, zevenmaal; alleenlijk op dien dag gingen zij zevenmaal rondom de stad. 16En het geschiedde ten zevenden male, als de priesters met de bazuinen bliezen, dat Jozua tot het volk sprak: Juicht, want de HEERE heeft ulieden de stad gegeven! 17Doch deze stad zal den HEERE verbannen zijn, zij en al wat daarin is; alleenlijk zal de hoer Rachab levend blijven, zij en allen, die met haar in het huis zijn, omdat zij de boden, die wij uitgezonden hadden, verborgen heeft. 18Alleenlijk dat gijlieden u wacht van het verbannene, opdat gij u misschien niet verbant, mits nemende van het verbannene, en het leger van Israel niet stelt tot een ban, noch datzelve beroert. 19Maar al het zilver en goud, en de koperen en ijzeren vaten, zullen den HEERE heilig zijn; tot den schat des HEEREN zullen zij komen. 20Het volk dan juichte, als zij met de bazuinen bliezen; en het geschiedde, als het volk het geluid der bazuin hoorde, zo juichte het volk met een groot gejuich; en de muur viel onder zich, en het volk klom in de stad, een ieder tegenover zich, en zij namen de stad in. 21En zij verbanden alles, wat in de stad was, van den man tot de vrouw toe, van het kind tot den oude, en tot den os, en het klein vee, en den ezel, door de scherpte des zwaards. 22Jozua nu zeide tot de twee mannen, de verspieders des lands: Gaat in het huis der vrouw, der hoer, en brengt die vrouw van daar uit, met al wat zij heeft, gelijk als gij haar gezworen hebt. 23Toen gingen de jongelingen, de verspieders, daarin en brachten er Rachab uit, en haar vader, en haar moeder, en haar broeders, en al wat zij had; ook brachten zij uit al haar huisgezinnen, en zij stelden hen buiten het leger van Israel. 24De stad nu verbrandden zij met vuur, en al wat daarin was; alleenlijk het zilver en goud, mitsgaders de koperen en ijzeren vaten, gaven zij tot den schat van het huis des HEEREN. 25Dus liet Jozua de hoer Rachab leven, en het huisgezin haars vaders, en al wat zij had; en zij heeft gewoond in het midden van Israel tot op dezen dag, omdat zij de boden verborgen had, die Jozua gezonden had, om Jericho te verspieden. 26En ter zelver tijd bezwoer hen Jozua, zeggende: Vervloekt zij die man voor het aangezicht des HEEREN, die zich opmaken en deze stad Jericho bouwen zal; dat hij ze grondveste op zijn eerstgeborenen zoon, en haar poorten stelle op zijn jongsten zoon! 27Alzo was de HEERE met Jozua; en zijn gerucht liep door het ganse land.
