¹Now Jericho was tightly shut up because of the children of Israel. No one went out, and no one came in.

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

²Yahweh said to Joshua, “Behold, I have given Jericho into your hand, with its king and the mighty men of valor.

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

³All your men of war shall march around the city, going around the city once. You shall do this six days.

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

⁴Seven priests shall bear seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the ark. On the seventh day, you shall march around the city seven times, and the priests shall blow the trumpets.

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.

⁵It shall be that when they make a long blast with the ram’s horn, and when you 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 go up every man straight before him.”

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.

⁶Joshua the son of Nun called the priests, and said to them, “Take up the ark of the covenant, and let seven priests bear seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the ark of Yahweh.”

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

⁷They said to the people, “Advance! March around the city, and let the armed men pass on before Yahweh’s ark.”

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

⁸It was so, that when Joshua had spoken to the people, the seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams’ horns before Yahweh advanced, and blew the trumpets; and the ark of the covenant of Yahweh followed them.

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.

⁹The armed men went before the priests who blew the trumpets, and the ark went after them. The trumpets sounded as they went.

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

¹⁰Joshua commanded the people, saying, “You shall not shout, nor let your voice be heard, neither shall any word proceed out of your mouth, until the day I tell you to shout. Then you shall shout.”

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!

¹¹So he caused the ark of Yahweh to go around the city, going about it once. Then they came into the camp, and lodged in the camp.

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

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

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

¹³The seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the ark of Yahweh went on continually, and blew the trumpets: and the armed men went before them. The rear guard came after the ark of Yahweh. The trumpets sounded as they went.

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.

¹⁴The second day they marched around the city once, and returned into the camp. They did this six days.

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

¹⁵It happened on the seventh day, that they rose early at the dawning of the day, and marched around the city in the same way seven times. Only on this day they marched around the city seven times.

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

¹⁶It happened at the seventh time, when the priests blew the trumpets, Joshua said to the people, “Shout, for Yahweh has given you the city!

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

¹⁷The city shall be devoted, even it and all that is in it, to Yahweh. Only Rahab the prostitute shall live, she and all who are with her in the house, because she hid the messengers that we sent.

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.

¹⁸But as for you, only keep yourselves from the devoted thing, lest when you have devoted it, you take of the devoted thing; so would you make the camp of Israel accursed, and trouble it.

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.

¹⁹But all the silver, and gold, and vessels of brass and iron, are holy to Yahweh. They shall come into Yahweh’s treasury.”

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

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

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.

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

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

²²Joshua said to the two men who had spied out the land, “Go into the prostitute’s house, and bring out from there the woman and all that she has, as you swore to her.”

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.

²³The young men who were spies went in, and brought out Rahab with her father, her mother, her brothers, and all that she had. They also brought out all her relatives, and they set them outside of the camp of Israel.

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.

²⁴They burnt the city with fire, and all that was in it. Only they put the silver, the gold, and the vessels of brass and of iron into the treasury of Yahweh’s house.

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.

²⁵But Rahab the prostitute, her father’s household, and all that she had, Joshua saved alive. She lived in the midst of Israel to this day, because she hid the messengers, whom Joshua sent to spy out Jericho.

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.

²⁶Joshua commanded them with an oath at that time, saying, “Cursed is the man before Yahweh, who rises up and builds this city Jericho. With the loss of his firstborn shall he lay its foundation, and with the loss of his youngest son shall he set up its gates.”

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.

²⁷So Yahweh was with Joshua; and his fame was in all the land.

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