¹Jeriho pa so zaprli in ostalo je zaprto zavoljo sinov Izraelovih: nihče ni šel ven in nihče noter.

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;)

²In GOSPOD reče Jozuetu: Poglej, dal sem ti v roko Jeriho in kralja in junaške može njegove.

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

³Obkrožite torej mesto, vsi vojščaki, gredoč okoli mesta enkrat. Tako napravi šest dni,

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

⁴in sedem duhovnikov naj nese pred skrinjo sedem jubilejskih [Kakršne so rabili v jubilejskem ali milostnem letu.] trobent; sedmi dan pa obkrožite mesto sedemkrat, in duhovniki naj trobijo na trobente.

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,

⁵In kadar bodo zategnjeno trobili na jubilejsko trobento in zaslišite glas trobente, tedaj naj zavpije vse ljudstvo z močnim glasom: in mestno obzidje se podere na svojem kraju, in ljudstvo naj vstopi noter, vsak naravnost tja pred sabo.

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.`

⁶Nato pokliče Jozue, sin Nunov, duhovnike in jim reče: Vzdignite skrinjo zaveze, in sedem duhovnikov naj nese sedem jubilejskih trobent pred skrinjo GOSPODOVO.

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;`

⁷Ljudstvu pa veli: Vstanite in pojdite okoli mesta, in oboroženci naj gredo pred skrinjo GOSPODOVO.

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.`

⁸In zgodilo se je tako: ko naroči Jozue ljudstvu, gre naprej sedem duhovnikov, nesoč sedem jubilejskih trobent pred GOSPODOM, in trobijo s trobentami, in skrinja GOSPODOVA je šla za njimi.

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;

⁹In oboroženci gredo pred duhovniki, ki trobijo s trobentami, in zadnji voj gre za skrinjo, in neprestano trobijo s trobentami.

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;

¹⁰Jozue pa zapove ljudstvu in reče: Ne napravite bojnega krika, tudi naj se ne sliši glas vaš; še beseda naj ne pride iz vaših ust do dne, ko vam bom velel kričati; tedaj zaženite bojni krik!

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.`

¹¹Tako je šla skrinja GOSPODOVA okoli mesta enkrat; in prišli so zopet v tabor in ondi prenočili.

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

¹²In Jozue vstane zjutraj zgodaj, in duhovniki neso skrinjo GOSPODOVO,

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

¹³in sedem duhovnikov nese sedem trobent milostnega leta pred skrinjo GOSPODOVO in gredoč trobijo neprestano s trobentami, in oboroženci gredo pred njimi, zadnji voj pa gre za skrinjo GOSPODOVO, in neprestano trobijo.

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.

¹⁴Tako so drugi dan šli okoli mesta enkrat in se zopet vrnili v tabor. Enako so delali šest dni.

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

¹⁵Ali sedmi dan, ob jutranjem svitu, vstanejo zgodaj in gredo po istem načinu okoli mesta sedemkrat; samo tisti dan so obkrožili mesto sedemkrat.

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);

¹⁶In sedmi pot, ko duhovniki trobijo s trobentami, veli Jozue ljudstvu: Napravite bojni krik, zakaj GOSPOD vam je 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;

¹⁷Mesto pa in vse, kar je v njem, bodi v prokletje za GOSPODA; samo Rahabo nečistnico ohranite živo, njo in vse, ki so ž njo v hiši, zato ker je skrila sla, ki smo ju bili 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;

¹⁸Vi pa se varujte prokletega, da ne bi, ko ste ga naredili v prokletje, vzeli česa iz prokletega in bi spravili tabor Izraelov v prokletje in v nesrečo.

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;

¹⁹Toda vse srebro in zlato in bronaste in železne posode so svete GOSPODU, pridejo naj v GOSPODOV zaklad.

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

²⁰Tedaj je ljudstvo zagnalo bojni krik, in trobili so na trobente. In ko je ljudstvo čulo glas trobente in zagnalo močan bojni krik, se je podrlo obzidje na svojem kraju, in ljudstvo je stopilo gori v mesto, vsak naravnost pred sabo, in zavzeli so 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;

²¹In s prokletjem so uničili vse, kar je bilo v mestu, može in žene, mlade in stare, vole, ovce in osle, z ostrino 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.

²²Jozue pa reče tistima dvema možema, ki sta ogledala deželo: Stopita v hišo tiste nečistnice in odpeljita odondod ženo z vsemi njenimi, kakor sta ji prisegla.

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.`

²³In ta dva mladeniča, oglednika, gresta noter in odpeljeta Rahabo venkaj, tudi njenega očeta in mater in njene brate in vse, kar jih je imela, vse sorodništvo njeno peljeta na plano; in pusté jih zunaj Izraelovega taborišča.

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.

²⁴Mesto pa so sežgali z ognjem in vse, kar je bilo v njem; samo srebro in zlato in bronasto in železno posodo so deli v zakladnico hiše GOSPODOVE.

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 Rahabo nečistnico in njenega očeta rodbino in vse njene je Jozue ohranil v življenju; in prebivala je v Izraelu do današnjega dne, ker je bila skrila sla, ki ju je Jozue poslal ogledovat Jeriho.

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.

²⁶Tisti čas je prisegel Jozue in rekel: Proklet bodi pred GOSPODOM mož, ki vstane, da sezida to mesto Jeriho: ko mu položi podstavo, naj izgubi prvorojenca svojega, in ko mu postavi vrata, naj izgubi svojega najmlajšega!Tako je bil GOSPOD z Jozuetom, in glas o njem je šel po vsej zemlji.

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;`

²⁷Tako je bil GOSPOD z Jozuetom, in glas o njem je šel po vsej zemlji.

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