约书亚记 6
Revised Chinese Union Version (Simplified Script) Shen Edition
耶利哥城陷落
6 耶利哥的城门因以色列人的缘故，关得严紧，无人出入。 2 耶和华对约书亚说：“看，我已经把耶利哥城和耶利哥王，以及大能的勇士，都交在你手中。 3 你们要围绕这城，所有的士兵绕城一次，六日你都要这样做。 4 七个祭司要拿七个羊角走在约柜前。到了第七日，你们要围绕这城七次，祭司也要吹角。 5 羊角声拖长的时候，你们一听见角声，众百姓要大声呼喊，城墙就必倒塌，各人要往前直上。” 6 嫩的儿子约书亚召了祭司来，对他们说：“你们抬起约柜来，要有七个祭司拿七个羊角在耶和华的约柜前。” 7 他又对百姓说：“你们向前去围绕那城，带兵器的要在耶和华的约柜前过去。”
8 按照约书亚对百姓所说的，七个祭司拿了七个羊角在耶和华面前过去，他们吹着角，耶和华的约柜在他们后面跟着。 9 带兵器的走在吹角的祭司前面，后队跟着约柜走，号角继续在吹。 10 约书亚吩咐百姓说：“你们不可呼喊，不可让人听见你们的声音，连一句话也不可出你们的口，直到我对你们说‘呼喊’的那日，你们才呼喊。” 11 这样，约书亚使耶和华的约柜围绕那城，把城绕了一次。然后，众人回到营里，就在营里住宿。
12 约书亚清早起来，祭司又抬起耶和华的约柜。 13 七个祭司拿七个羊角，走在耶和华的约柜前，他们吹着角；带兵器的走在他们前面，后队跟着耶和华的约柜走，号角继续在吹。 14 第二日，他们再把城围绕一次，就回营里去。六日都是这样做。
15 第七日清早黎明时，他们起来，以同样的方式围绕城七次；惟独这一日他们围绕城七次。 16 到了第七次，祭司吹角的时候，约书亚对百姓说：“呼喊吧，因为耶和华已经把城交给你们了！ 17 这城和其中所有的都要永献给耶和华作当毁灭的，只有妓女喇合与她家中所有的可以存活，因为她隐藏了我们所派的使者。 18 但你们务必谨慎，不可取那当灭的物，免得你们受诅咒，取了那当灭的物，使以色列全营成为诅咒而遭受灾祸。 19 只有金子、银子和铜铁的器皿都要归耶和华为圣，放入耶和华的库房中。” 20 于是百姓呼喊，祭司吹角。百姓一听见角声就大声呼喊，城墙随着倒塌。百姓上去进城，各人往前直上，把城夺取。 21 他们把城中所有的，无论男女老少，牛羊和驴，都用刀杀尽。
22 约书亚对窥探这地的两个人说：“你们进那妓女的家，照你们向她所起的誓，将那女人和她所有的都从那里带出来。” 23 两个作过探子的青年进去，把喇合与她的父母、兄弟，和她所有的带出来，他们把她所有的亲属都带出来，安置在以色列的营外。 24 他们用火焚烧了那城和其中所有的，只有金子、银子和铜铁的器皿都放在耶和华殿的库房中。 25 至于妓女喇合和她父家，以及她所有的，约书亚保存了他们的性命。她就住在以色列中，直到今日，因为她隐藏了约书亚派来窥探耶利哥的使者。
26 当时，约书亚叫众人起誓说：“凡兴起重修这耶利哥城[a]的，当在耶和华面前受诅咒。
他立根基的时候，必丧长子，
安城门的时候，必丧幼子。”
27 耶和华与约书亚同在，约书亚的名声传遍全地。

Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
耶利哥城塌陷
6 耶利哥人害怕以色列人，就把所有的城門都關得緊緊的，無人出入。 2 耶和華對約書亞說：「看啊，我已經把耶利哥、耶利哥王及其英勇的戰士都交在你手中了。 3 你所有的軍隊要每天繞城一圈，連續六天， 4 讓七個祭司拿著七個羊角號走在約櫃前面。到了第七天，你們要繞城七圈，祭司要吹響號角。 5 當你們聽到號角長鳴時，所有的人都要高聲吶喊，城牆就會坍塌，眾人便可以直衝上去。」 6 嫩的兒子約書亞便召來祭司，對他們說：「你們抬起約櫃，派七位祭司拿著七個羊角號走在耶和華的約櫃前面。」 7 他又對民眾說：「你們要前去繞著城牆走，軍隊要走在耶和華的約櫃前面。」
8 聽完約書亞的吩咐，七個祭司便在耶和華面前拿著羊角號邊走邊吹，耶和華的約櫃就跟在他們後面， 9 軍隊走在吹號的祭司前面，殿後軍隊跟在約櫃後面。祭司一路上吹著號角。 10 約書亞吩咐民眾：「在我下令叫你們吶喊以前，誰也不許作聲，一句話也不許說。」 11 這樣，約書亞使耶和華的約櫃繞城一圈，然後眾人各自回營休息。
12 第二天，約書亞一早起來，祭司又抬起耶和華的約櫃。 13 七個祭司拿著七個羊角號走在耶和華的約櫃前面，一邊走一邊吹角。軍隊走在祭司前面，殿後軍隊跟在耶和華的約櫃後面。 14 這一天他們又繞城一圈，然後各自回營。六天都是這樣。
15 第七天黎明時分，他們起來照樣繞城，只是這一天他們繞城走了七次。 16 走到第七次，祭司吹響了號角，約書亞吩咐民眾說：「吶喊吧！因為耶和華已經將這城交給你們了。 17 要把這座城和城裡所有的東西毀滅，作為獻給耶和華之物。只有妓女喇合和她家中所有的人可以活命，因為她曾把我們派去的探子隱藏起來。 18 你們要小心，不可私拿任何應當毀滅的東西，免得你們自取滅亡，並給以色列全營帶來災禍。 19 要把所有的金銀和銅鐵器皿分別出來獻給耶和華，放進耶和華的庫房裡。」 20 於是，民眾聽到號角聲時，就高聲呐喊，城牆便坍塌了。民眾便一擁而上，佔領了耶利哥城， 21 用刀殺了城裡所有的男女老少、牛羊和驢。
22 約書亞對那兩個探子說：「你們到那個妓女家裡，照著你們向她起過的誓，把她和她的家人都帶出來。」 23 於是，那兩個年輕探子便進去，把喇合和她的父母、兄弟及所有的親人都帶出來，安置在以色列人的營外。 24 以色列人燒毀全城和城內一切的東西，只把金銀和銅鐵器皿放在耶和華的庫房裡。 25 約書亞因為妓女喇合把兩個探子隱藏起來，就饒了她和她一家人的性命。他們至今仍住在以色列人當中。
26 之後，約書亞起誓說：
「重建耶利哥城的人必定在耶和華面前受咒詛，
他立地基的時候必死長子，
建城門的時候必喪幼子。」
27 耶和華與約書亞同在，他的聲名傳遍各地。
Joshua 6
New Living Translation
The Fall of Jericho
6 Now the gates of Jericho were tightly shut because the people were afraid of the Israelites. No one was allowed to go out or in. 2 But the Lord said to Joshua, “I have given you Jericho, its king, and all its strong warriors. 3 You and your fighting men should march around the town once a day for six days. 4 Seven priests will walk ahead of the Ark, each carrying a ram’s horn. On the seventh day you are to march around the town seven times, with the priests blowing the horns. 5 When you hear the priests give one long blast on the rams’ horns, have all the people shout as loud as they can. Then the walls of the town will collapse, and the people can charge straight into the town.”
6 So Joshua called together the priests and said, “Take up the Ark of the Lord’s Covenant, and assign seven priests to walk in front of it, each carrying a ram’s horn.” 7 Then he gave orders to the people: “March around the town, and the armed men will lead the way in front of the Ark of the Lord.”
8 After Joshua spoke to the people, the seven priests with the rams’ horns started marching in the presence of the Lord, blowing the horns as they marched. And the Ark of the Lord’s Covenant followed behind them. 9 Some of the armed men marched in front of the priests with the horns and some behind the Ark, with the priests continually blowing the horns. 10 “Do not shout; do not even talk,” Joshua commanded. “Not a single word from any of you until I tell you to shout. Then shout!” 11 So the Ark of the Lord was carried around the town once that day, and then everyone returned to spend the night in the camp.
12 Joshua got up early the next morning, and the priests again carried the Ark of the Lord. 13 The seven priests with the rams’ horns marched in front of the Ark of the Lord, blowing their horns. Again the armed men marched both in front of the priests with the horns and behind the Ark of the Lord. All this time the priests were blowing their horns. 14 On the second day they again marched around the town once and returned to the camp. They followed this pattern for six days.
15 On the seventh day the Israelites got up at dawn and marched around the town as they had done before. But this time they went around the town seven times. 16 The seventh time around, as the priests sounded the long blast on their horns, Joshua commanded the people, “Shout! For the Lord has given you the town! 17 Jericho and everything in it must be completely destroyed[a] as an offering to the Lord. Only Rahab the prostitute and the others in her house will be spared, for she protected our spies.
18 “Do not take any of the things set apart for destruction, or you yourselves will be completely destroyed, and you will bring trouble on the camp of Israel. 19 Everything made from silver, gold, bronze, or iron is sacred to the Lord and must be brought into his treasury.”
20 When the people heard the sound of the rams’ horns, they shouted as loud as they could. Suddenly, the walls of Jericho collapsed, and the Israelites charged straight into the town and captured it. 21 They completely destroyed everything in it with their swords—men and women, young and old, cattle, sheep, goats, and donkeys.
22 Meanwhile, Joshua said to the two spies, “Keep your promise. Go to the prostitute’s house and bring her out, along with all her family.”
23 The men who had been spies went in and brought out Rahab, her father, mother, brothers, and all the other relatives who were with her. They moved her whole family to a safe place near the camp of Israel.
24 Then the Israelites burned the town and everything in it. Only the things made from silver, gold, bronze, or iron were kept for the treasury of the Lord’s house. 25 So Joshua spared Rahab the prostitute and her relatives who were with her in the house, because she had hidden the spies Joshua sent to Jericho. And she lives among the Israelites to this day.
26 At that time Joshua invoked this curse:
“May the curse of the Lord fall on anyone
who tries to rebuild the town of Jericho.
At the cost of his firstborn son,
he will lay its foundation.
At the cost of his youngest son,
he will set up its gates.”
27 So the Lord was with Joshua, and his reputation spread throughout the land.
Joshua 6
King James Version
6 Now Jericho was straitly shut up because of the children of Israel: none went out, and none came in.
2 And the Lord said unto Joshua, See, I have given into thine hand Jericho, and the king thereof, and the mighty men of valour.
3 And ye shall compass the city, all ye men of war, and go round about the city once. Thus shalt thou do six days.
4 And 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.
5 And 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.
6 And 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.
7 And 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.
8 And 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.
9 And the armed men went before the priests that blew with the trumpets, and the rereward came after the ark, the priests going on, and blowing with the trumpets.
10 And 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.
11 So the ark of the Lord compassed the city, going about it once: and they came into the camp, and lodged in the camp.
12 And Joshua rose early in the morning, and the priests took up the ark of the Lord.
13 And 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 rereward came after the ark of the Lord, the priests going on, and blowing with the trumpets.
14 And the second day they compassed the city once, and returned into the camp: so they did six days.
15 And 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.
16 And 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.
17 And 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.
18 And 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.
19 But 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.
20 So 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.
21 And 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.
22 But 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.
23 And 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.
24 And 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.
25 And 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.
26 And 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.
27 So the Lord was with Joshua; and his fame was noised throughout all the country.
