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

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;)

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

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

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

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

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

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,

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.

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.`

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

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;`

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

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.`

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.

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;

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.

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;

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.

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.`

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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);

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

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;

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.

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;

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.

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;

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

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

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.

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;

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.

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.

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.

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.`

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.

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.

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

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;

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.

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.

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.

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;`

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

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