¹Now Jericho was straitly shut up because of the children of Israel: none went out, and none came in.

¹A Jericho, aj ináče zavrené, bolo ešte lepšie zavrené pred synmi Izraelovými; nebolo nikoho, kto by bol vyšiel alebo vošiel.

²And the LORD said unto Joshua, See, I have given into thine hand Jericho, and the king thereof, and the mighty men of valor.

²A Hospodin riekol Jozuovi: Pozri, dal som do tvojej ruky Jericho i jeho kráľa i jeho silných bojovníkov.

³And ye shall compass the city, all ye men of war, and go round about the city once. Thus shalt thou do six days.

³Obkľúčite mesto, všetci mužovia boja, obísť ho dookola raz. Tak učiníš po šesť dní.

⁴And seven priests shall bear before the ark seven trumpets of rams' horns: and the seventh day ye shall compass the city seven times, and the priests shall blow with the trumpets.

⁴A sedem kňazov ponesie sedem trúb plesania pred truhlou, a siedmeho dňa obídete mesto sedem ráz, a kňazi budú trúbiť na trúby.

⁵And it shall come to pass, that when they make a long blast with the ram's horn, and when ye 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 ascend up every man straight before him.

⁵A stane sa, keď sa bude zdlha trúbiť na roh plesania, keď počujete zvuk trúby, skríkne všetok ľud veľkým krikom, a vtedy padne múr mesta na svojom mieste, a ľud pojde hore, každý muž prosto pred seba.

⁶And Joshua the son of Nun called the priests, and said unto them, Take up the ark of the covenant, and let seven priests bear seven trumpets of rams' horns before the ark of the LORD.

⁶A Jozua, syn Núnov, povolal kňazov a povedal im: Vezmite truhlu smluvy, a sedem kňazov vezme sedem trúb plesania, ktoré ponesú pred truhlou Hospodinovou.

⁷And he said unto the people, Pass on, and compass the city, and let him that is armed pass on before the ark of the LORD.

⁷A povedal i ľudu: Iďte a obídite mesto, a kto je ozbrojený, nech ide pred truhlou Hospodinovou.

⁸And it came to pass, when Joshua had spoken unto the people, that the seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams' horns passed on before the LORD, and blew with the trumpets: and the ark of the covenant of the LORD followed them.

⁸A stalo sa, keď to povedal Jozua ľudu, že siedmi kňazi, ktorí niesli sedem trúb plesania pred Hospodinom, išli a trúbili na trúby, a truhla smluvy Hospodinovej išla za nimi.

⁹And the armed men went before the priests that blew with the trumpets, and the rearward came after the ark, the priests going on, and blowing with the trumpets.

⁹A ozbrojený ľud išiel pred kňazmi, ktorí to trúbili na trúby, a ostatní, zadní, išli za truhlou, a tak išli pozvoľna a trúbili na trúby.

¹⁰And Joshua had commanded the people, saying, Ye shall not shout, nor make any noise with your voice, neither shall any word proceed out of your mouth, until the day I bid you shout; then shall ye shout.

¹⁰A ľudu prikázal Jozua a povedal: Nebudete kričať ani nedáte počuť svojho hlasu, ani nevyjde z vašich úst nijaké slovo, až do toho dňa, keď vám poviem: Kričte! Vtedy budete kričať.

¹¹So the ark of the LORD compassed the city, going about it once: and they came into the camp, and lodged in the camp.

¹¹A tedy obchádzala truhla Hospodinova mesto; obišli raz a prišli do tábora a prenocovali v tábore.

¹²And Joshua rose early in the morning, and the priests took up the ark of the LORD.

¹²Potom vstal Jozua skoro ráno, a kňazi vzali a niesli truhlu Hospodinovu.

¹³And seven priests bearing seven trumpets of rams' horns before the ark of the LORD went on continually, and blew with the trumpets: and the armed men went before them; but the rearward came after the ark of the LORD, the priests going on, and blowing with the trumpets.

¹³A siedmi kňazi, ktorí niesli tých sedem trúb plesania pred truhlou Hospodinovou, išli pozvoľna a trúbili na trúby, a tí, ktorí boli ozbrojení, išli pred nimi, a ostatní, zadní, išli za truhlou Hospodinovou, a tak išli pozvoľna a trúbili na trúby.

¹⁴And the second day they compassed the city once, and returned into the camp: so they did six days.

¹⁴A keď aj druhého dňa obišli mesto jeden raz, navrátili sa do tábora. Tak to robili šesť dní.

¹⁵And it came to pass on the seventh day, that they rose early about the dawning of the day, and compassed the city after the same manner seven times: only on that day they compassed the city seven times.

¹⁵Ale stalo sa siedmeho dňa, že vstali, keď ešte len svitalo, a obišli mesto na taký spôsob sedem ráz; len toho dňa obišli mesto sedem ráz.

¹⁶And it came to pass at the seventh time, when the priests blew with the trumpets, Joshua said unto the people, Shout; for the LORD hath given you the city.

¹⁶A stalo sa po siedmy raz, keď trúbili kňazi na trúby, že povedal Jozua ľudu: Kričte! Lebo Hospodin vám dal mesto.

¹⁷And the city shall be accursed, even it, and all that are therein, to the LORD: only Rahab the harlot shall live, she and all that are with her in the house, because she hid the messengers that we sent.

¹⁷A mesto bude zarieknuté na úplnú záhubu, ono i všetko, čo je v ňom, Hospodinovi; len smilnica Rachab bude žiť, ona i všetci, ktorí budú s ňou v dome, lebo ukryla poslov, ktorých sme boli poslali.

¹⁸And ye, in any wise keep yourselves from the accursed thing, lest ye make yourselves accursed, when ye take of the accursed thing, and make the camp of Israel a curse, and trouble it.

¹⁸A len vy sa vystríhajte zarieknutého, aby ste sa nestali i vy zarieknutými, keby ste vzali zo zarieknutého a učinili by ste tábor Izraelov zarieknutým na záhubu a narobili by ste mu bolesti a trápenia.

¹⁹But all the silver, and gold, and vessels of brass and iron, are consecrated unto the LORD: they shall come into the treasury of the LORD.

¹⁹Ale všetko striebro a zlato, jako i nádoby medené a železné, je svätým Hospodinovi; pojde do pokladu Hospodinovho.

²⁰So the people shouted when the priests blew with the trumpets: and it came to pass, when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, and the people shouted with a great shout, that the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they took the city.

²⁰Vtedy kričal ľud a trúbili na trúby. A stalo sa, keď počul ľud zvuk trúby, že skríkol ľud veľkým krikom, a múr padol na svojom mieste, a ľud išiel hore do mesta, každý prosto pred seba, a zaujali mesto.

²¹And they utterly destroyed all that was in the city, both man and woman, young and old, and ox, and sheep, and ass, with the edge of the sword.

²¹A pobili všetko, zarieknuté na úplnú záhubu, všetko, čo bolo v meste, od muža až do ženy, od mladého až do starého, ba až do vola, dobytčaťa a osla, ostrím meča.

²²But Joshua had said unto the two men that had spied out the country, Go into the harlot's house, and bring out thence the woman, and all that she hath, as ye sware unto her.

²²A dvom mužom, ktorí boli prešpehovať zem, povedal Jozua: Vojdite do domu ženy, tej smilnice, a vyveďte odtiaľ ženu i všetko, čo má, tak ako ste jej prisahali.

²³And the young men that were spies went in, and brought out Rahab, and her father, and her mother, and her brethren, and all that she had; and they brought out all her kindred, and left them without the camp of Israel.

²³Vtedy vošli mládenci špehúni a vyviedli Rachab i jej otca i jej matku i jej bratov i všetko, čo mala, i celú jej rodinu vyviedli a nechali ich vonku za táborom Izraelovým.

²⁴And they burnt the city with fire, and all that was therein: only the silver, and the gold, and the vessels of brass and of iron, they put into the treasury of the house of the LORD.

²⁴A mesto spálili ohňom i všetko, čo bolo v ňom. Iba striebro a zlato a nádoby, medené a železné, dali do pokladu domu Hospodinovho.

²⁵And Joshua saved Rahab the harlot alive, and her father's household, and all that she had; and she dwelleth in Israel even unto this day; because she hid the messengers, which Joshua sent to spy out Jericho.

²⁵A smilnicu Rachab, dom jej otca i všetko, čo mala, zachoval Jozua pri živote. A býva v strede Izraelovom až do tohoto dňa, pretože ukryla poslov, ktorých bol poslal Jozua, aby prešpehovali Jericho.

²⁶And Joshua adjured them at that time, saying, Cursed be the man before the LORD, that riseth up and buildeth this city Jericho: he shall lay the foundation thereof in his firstborn, and in his youngest son shall he set up the gates of it.

²⁶Toho času zaviazal Jozua každého prísahou a vyslovil kliatbu: Nech je zlorečený pred Hospodinom muž, ktorý by povstal a staväl toto mesto, Jericho; za cenu svojho prvorodeného syna ho založí a za cenu svojho najmladšieho postaví jeho brány.

²⁷So the LORD was with Joshua; and his fame was noised throughout all the country.

²⁷A Hospodin bol s Jozuom, a povesť o ňom sa rozniesla po celej zemi.
