¹Now Jericho was shut up and was barred, 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 Jehovah said to Joshua, See, I have given into thy hand Jericho, and the king thereof, [and] the valiant men.

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

³And ye shall go round the city, all the men of war, encompassing 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 carry before the ark seven blast-trumpets; and on the seventh day ye shall go round 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 when they make a long blast with the blast-horn, that all the people on hearing the sound of the trumpet shall shout with a great shout; and the wall of the city shall fall flat, and the people shall go up, each one 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 to them, Carry the ark of the covenant, and seven priests shall carry seven blast-trumpets before the ark of Jehovah.

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 to the people, Pass on, go round the city, and they that are armed shall pass on before the ark of Jehovah.

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 to the people, that the seven priests carrying the seven blast-trumpets before Jehovah passed on and blew with the trumpets; and the ark of the covenant of Jehovah went after 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 who blew with the trumpets, and the rearguard came after the ark; they blew with the trumpets in marching.

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 let your voice be heard, neither shall a word proceed out of your mouth, until the day I say to 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.

¹¹And the ark of Jehovah went round the city, encompassing [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 carried the ark of Jehovah.

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

¹³And the seven priests carrying the seven blast-trumpets before the ark of Jehovah went on and blew continually with the trumpets; and the armed men went before them, and the rearguard went after the ark of Jehovah; they blew with the trumpets in marching.

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 on the second day they went round 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 was so that on the seventh day they rose early, about the morning-dawn, and went round the city after the same manner seven times; only on that day they went round 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 the seventh time, when the priests blew with the trumpets, that Joshua said to the people, Shout; for Jehovah has 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, it and all that is in it, to Jehovah; 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.

¹⁸But in any wise keep from the accursed thing, lest ye make [yourselves] accursed in taking 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.

¹⁹And all the silver, and gold, and vessels of copper and iron, shall be holy to Jehovah; they shall come into the treasury of Jehovah.

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

²⁰And the people shouted, and they blew with the trumpets. And it came to pass when the people heard the sound of the trumpets, and the people shouted with a great shout, that the wall fell down flat; and the people went up into the city, each one 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.

²²And Joshua said to 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 has, as ye swore 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, the spies, went in and brought out Rahab, and her father, and her mother, and her brethren, and all that she had: all her kindred did they bring out, and they left them outside 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 burned the city with fire, and all that was therein; only the silver, and the gold, and the vessels of copper and of iron, they put into the treasury of the house of Jehovah.

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 alive Rahab the harlot, and her father's household, and all that she had, and she dwelt in the midst of Israel to this day; because she hid the messengers whom Joshua had 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 swore at that time, saying, Cursed be the man before Jehovah who shall rise up and build this city Jericho! In his first-born shall he lay its foundation, and in his youngest son shall he set up its gates.

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.

²⁷And Jehovah was with Joshua; and his fame was in all the land.

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