¹围绕耶利哥城耶利哥的城门因以色列人的缘故，就紧紧地关闭，没有人出入。

¹(And Jericho shutteth itself up, and is shut up, because of the presence of the sons of Israel — none going out, and none coming in;)

²耶和华对约书亚说：“看，我已经把耶利哥和耶利哥的王，以及英勇的战士，都交在你的手中了。

²And Jehovah saith unto Joshua, `See, I have given into thy hand Jericho and its king — mighty ones of valour,

³你们所有能作战的男丁要围绕这城，一天围绕一次，六天都要这样行；

³and ye have compassed the city — all the men of battle — going round the city once; thus thou dost six days;

⁴并派七个祭司拿着七个羊角，走在约柜的前面；到第七天，你们要绕城七次，祭司也要吹角。

⁴and seven priests do bear seven trumpets of the jubilee before the ark, and on the seventh day ye compass the city seven times, and the priests blow with the trumpets,

⁵当羊角吹起长号，你们听见角声的时候，全体人民要大声呼喊，那时城墙就必塌陷；你们各人要向前直冲。”

⁵and it hath been, in the prolongation of the horn of the jubilee, in your hearing the voice of the trumpet, all the people shout — a great shout, and the wall of the city hath fallen under it, and the people have gone up, each over-against him.`

⁶于是嫩的儿子约书亚把祭司召了来，对他们说：“你们要抬起约柜；并派七个祭司拿着七个羊角，走在耶和华约柜的前面。”

⁶And Joshua son of Nun calleth unto the priests, and saith unto them, `Bear ye the ark of the covenant, and seven priests do bear seven trumpets of the jubilee before the ark of Jehovah;`

⁷他又对人民说：“你们前去绕城吧，拿武器的人要走在耶和华约柜的前面。”

⁷and He said unto the people, `Pass over, and compass the city, and he who is armed doth pass over before the ark of Jehovah.`

⁸约书亚吩咐人民以后，七个祭司拿着七个羊角，走在耶和华的前面，并且吹角，耶和华的约柜在他们后面跟着走。

⁸And it cometh to pass, when Joshua speaketh unto the people, that the seven priests bearing seven trumpets of the jubilee before Jehovah have passed over and blown with the trumpets, and the ark of the covenant of Jehovah is going after them;

⁹拿武器的人走在吹角的祭司前面，在约柜后面也有防卫的队伍跟着走，祭司一面走，一面吹角。

⁹and he who is armed is going before the priests blowing the trumpets, and he who is gathering up is going after the ark, going on and blowing with the trumpets;

¹⁰约书亚吩咐人民说：“你们不可呼喊，不可让人听见你们的声音，连一句话也不可出口，等到我吩咐你们‘呼喊’的那天，你们才可以呼喊。”

¹⁰and the people hath Joshua commanded, saying, `Ye do not shout, nor cause your voice to be heard, nor doth there go out from your mouth a word, till the day of my saying unto you, Shout ye — then ye have shouted.`

¹¹这样，耶和华的约柜绕城而行，围绕了一次，众人就回到营中，在营里住宿。

¹¹And the ark of Jehovah doth compass the city, going round once, and they come into the camp, and lodge in the camp.

¹²约书亚清早起来，祭司又抬起耶和华的约柜。

¹²And Joshua riseth early in the morning, and the priests bear the ark of Jehovah,

¹³拿着七个羊角的七位祭司，走在耶和华的约柜前面；一面走，一面吹角；拿武器的人走在他们前面，在耶和华的约柜后面也有防卫的队伍跟着走；祭司一面走，一面吹角。

¹³and seven priests bearing seven trumpets of the jubilee before the ark of Jehovah are walking, going on, and they have blown with the trumpets — and he who is armed is going before them, and he who is gathering up is going behind the ark of Jehovah — going on and blowing with the trumpets.

¹⁴第二日，众人又绕城一次，然后回到营里去；六日他们都是这样行。

¹⁴And they compass the city on the second day once, and turn back to the camp; thus they have done six days.

¹⁵城墙塌陷到了第七日，清早黎明的时候，他们起来，以同样的方式绕城七次；只有这一日，他们绕城七次。

¹⁵And it cometh to pass, on the seventh day, that they rise early, at the ascending of the dawn, and compass the city, according to this manner, seven times; (only, on that day they have compassed the city seven times);

¹⁶到了第七次，祭司吹角的时候，约书亚就对人民说：“你们呼喊吧，因为耶和华已经把这城赐给你们了。

¹⁶and it cometh to pass, at the seventh time, the priests have blown with the trumpets, and Joshua saith unto the people, `Shout ye, for Jehovah hath given to you the city;

¹⁷这城要完全毁灭，城和城中的一切都归耶和华；只有妓女喇合，和所有与她在家中的都可以存活，因为她收藏了我们派去的使者。

¹⁷and the city hath been devoted, it and all that [is] in it, to Jehovah; only Rahab the harlot doth live, she and all who [are] with her in the house, for she hid the messengers whom we sent;

¹⁸不过你们要谨慎，不可取那当毁灭的物，恐怕你们贪心，取了那当毁灭的物，就使以色列营成为当毁灭的，使以色列营遭遇灾祸。

¹⁸and surely ye have kept from the devoted thing, lest ye devote [yourselves], and have taken from the devoted thing, and have made the camp of Israel become a devoted thing, and have troubled it;

¹⁹可是，所有的金银和铜铁的器皿，都要归耶和华为圣，存入耶和华的库房中。”

¹⁹and all the silver and gold, and vessels of brass and iron, holy they [are] to Jehovah; into the treasury of Jehovah they come.`

²⁰于是人民呼喊，祭司也吹角。人民听见角声的时候，就大声呼喊，城墙就塌陷了；于是，人民冲入城中，人人向前，把城攻取。

²⁰And the people shout, and blow with the trumpets, and it cometh to pass when the people hear the voice of the trumpet, that the people shout — a great shout, and the wall falleth under it, and the people goeth up into the city, each over-against him, and they capture the city;

²¹他们把城中的一切，无论男女老幼、牛羊和驴，都用刀杀尽。

²¹and they devote all that [is] in the city, from man even unto woman, from young even unto aged, even unto ox, and sheep, and ass, by the mouth of the sword.

²²喇合全家蒙救约书亚对窥探那地的两个人说：“你们进那妓女的家里去，照着你们向她所起的誓，把那女人和她所有的一切，都从家里带出来。”

²²And to the two men who are spying the land Joshua said, `Go into the house of the woman, the harlot, and bring out thence the woman, and all whom she hath, as ye have sworn to her.`

²³那两个年轻密探就进去，把喇合和她的父母、兄弟、她所有的一切，以及她所有的亲属，都领出来，安置在以色列的营外。

²³And the young man, the spies, go in and bring out Rahab, and her father, and her mother, and her brethren, and all whom she hath; yea, all her families they have brought out, and place them at the outside of the camp of Israel.

²⁴众人把城和城中的一切都用火烧了；只有金银和铜铁的器皿都放入耶和华圣所的库房里。

²⁴And the city they have burnt with fire, and all that [is] in it; only, the silver and the gold, and the vessels of brass, and of iron, they have given [to] the treasury of the house of Jehovah;

²⁵约书亚却放过妓女喇合和她的父家，以及她所有的一切；她住在以色列中，直到今日，因为她收藏了约书亚派去窥探耶利哥的使者。

²⁵and Rahab the harlot, and the house of her father, and all whom she hath, hath Joshua kept alive; and she dwelleth in the midst of Israel unto this day, for she hid the messengers whom Joshua sent to spy out Jericho.

²⁶凡重建耶利哥城的必受咒诅那时，约书亚要人民起誓，说：“起来重建这耶利哥城的，那人在耶和华面前是可咒可诅的；他立地基的时候必丧长子；他安城门的时候必失幼子。”

²⁶And Joshua adjureth [them] at that time, saying, `Cursed [is] the man before Jehovah who raiseth up and hath built this city, [even] Jericho; in his first-born he doth lay its foundation, and in his youngest he doth set up its doors;`

²⁷耶和华与约书亚同在；约书亚的名声传遍全地。

²⁷and Jehovah is with Joshua, and his fame is in all the land.
