Josue 6

1Ang Jerico nga ay lubos na nakukubkob dahil sa mga anak ni Israel: walang nakalalabas, at walang nakapapasok. 2At sinabi ng Panginoon kay Josue, Tingnan mo, aking ibinigay sa iyong kamay ang Jerico, at ang hari niyaon, at ang mga makapangyarihang lalaking matapang. 3At iyong liligirin ang bayan, lahat ng mga lalaking pangdigma, na liligid na minsan sa bayan. Ganito mo gagawin na anim na araw. 4At 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. 5At 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. 6At 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. 7At 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. 8At 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. 9At 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. 10At 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. 11Sa gayo'y kaniyang iniligid sa bayan ang kaban ng Panginoon, na lumigid na minsan: at sila'y nasok sa kampamento, at tumigil sa kampamento. 12At si Josue ay bumangong maaga sa kinaumagahan, at binuhat ng mga saserdote ang kaban ng Panginoon. 13At 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. 14At sa ikalawang araw ay kanilang niligid na minsan ang bayan, at nagsibalik sa kampamento: kanilang ginawang gayon na anim na araw. 15At 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. 16At 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. 17At 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. 18At 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. 19Nguni't lahat na pilak, at ginto, at mga sisidlang tanso at bakal, ay banal sa Panginoon: pawang ipapasok sa silid ng kayamanan ng Panginoon. 20Sa 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. 21At 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. 22At 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. 23At 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. 24At 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. 25Nguni'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. 26At 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. 27Sa gayo'y ang Panginoon ay sumama kay Josue; at ang kaniyang kabantugan ay lumaganap sa buong lupain.

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.
