约书亚记 6
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Simplified)
命以色列人绕耶利哥城
6 耶利哥的城门因以色列人就关得严紧，无人出入。 2 耶和华晓谕约书亚说：“看哪，我已经把耶利哥和耶利哥的王，并大能的勇士，都交在你手中。 3 你们的一切兵丁要围绕这城，一日围绕一次，六日都要这样行。 4 七个祭司要拿七个羊角走在约柜前。到第七日，你们要绕城七次，祭司也要吹角。 5 他们吹的角声拖长，你们听见角声，众百姓要大声呼喊，城墙就必塌陷，各人都要往前直上。” 6 嫩的儿子约书亚召了祭司来，吩咐他们说：“你们抬起约柜来，要有七个祭司拿七个羊角走在耶和华的约柜前。” 7 又对百姓说：“你们前去绕城，带兵器的要走在耶和华的约柜前。”
8 约书亚对百姓说完了话，七个祭司拿七个羊角走在耶和华面前吹角，耶和华的约柜在他们后面跟随。 9 带兵器的走在吹角的祭司前面，后队随着约柜行。祭司一面走一面吹。 10 约书亚吩咐百姓说：“你们不可呼喊，不可出声，连一句话也不可出你们的口，等到我吩咐你们呼喊的日子，那时才可以呼喊。” 11 这样，他使耶和华的约柜绕城，把城绕了一次。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在耶和华的约柜前，时常行走吹角。带兵器的在他们前面走，后队随着耶和华的约柜行。祭司一面走一面吹。 14 第二日，众人把城绕了一次，就回营里去。六日都是这样行。
城垣倾圯
15 第七日清早，黎明的时候，他们起来，照样绕城七次。唯独这日把城绕了七次。 16 到了第七次，祭司吹角的时候，约书亚吩咐百姓说：“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在耶和华面前毁灭，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打发的使者。 18 至于你们，务要谨慎，不可取那当灭的物，恐怕你们取了那当灭的物就连累以色列的全营，使全营受咒诅。 19 唯有金子、银子和铜铁的器皿，都要归耶和华为圣，必入耶和华的库中。” 20 于是百姓呼喊，祭司也吹角。百姓听见角声，便大声呼喊，城墙就塌陷。百姓便上去进城，各人往前直上，将城夺取。 21 又将城中所有的，不拘男女老少，牛羊和驴，都用刀杀尽。
喇合蒙救
22 约书亚吩咐窥探地的两个人说：“你们进那妓女的家，照着你们向她所起的誓，将那女人和她所有的都从那里带出来。” 23 当探子的两个少年人就进去，将喇合与她的父母、弟兄和她所有的，并她一切的亲眷，都带出来，安置在以色列的营外。 24 众人就用火将城和其中所有的焚烧了。唯有金子、银子和铜铁的器皿，都放在耶和华殿的库中。 25 约书亚却把妓女喇合与她父家，并她所有的，都救活了，因为她隐藏了约书亚所打发窥探耶利哥的使者。她就住在以色列中，直到今日。 26 当时，约书亚叫众人起誓说：“有兴起重修这耶利哥城的人，当在耶和华面前受咒诅：他立根基的时候，必丧长子；安门的时候，必丧幼子。” 27 耶和华与约书亚同在，约书亚的声名传扬遍地。

耶利哥城塌陷
6 耶利哥人害怕以色列人，就把所有的城门都关得紧紧的，无人出入。 2 耶和华对约书亚说：“看啊，我已经把耶利哥、耶利哥王及其英勇的战士都交在你手中了。 3 你所有的军队要每天绕城一圈，连续六天， 4 让七个祭司拿着七个羊角号走在约柜前面。到了第七天，你们要绕城七圈，祭司要吹响号角。 5 当你们听到号角长鸣时，所有的人都要高声吶喊，城墙就会坍塌，众人便可以直冲上去。” 6 嫩的儿子约书亚便召来祭司，对他们说：“你们抬起约柜，派七位祭司拿着七个羊角号走在耶和华的约柜前面。” 7 他又对民众说：“你们要前去绕着城墙走，军队要走在耶和华的约柜前面。”
8 听完约书亚的吩咐，七个祭司便在耶和华面前拿着羊角号边走边吹，耶和华的约柜就跟在他们后面， 9 军队走在吹号的祭司前面，殿后军队跟在约柜后面。祭司一路上吹着号角。 10 约书亚吩咐民众：“在我下令叫你们吶喊以前，谁也不许作声，一句话也不许说。” 11 这样，约书亚使耶和华的约柜绕城一圈，然后众人各自回营休息。
12 第二天，约书亚一早起来，祭司又抬起耶和华的约柜。 13 七个祭司拿着七个羊角号走在耶和华的约柜前面，一边走一边吹角。军队走在祭司前面，殿后军队跟在耶和华的约柜后面。 14 这一天他们又绕城一圈，然后各自回营。六天都是这样。
15 第七天黎明时分，他们起来照样绕城，只是这一天他们绕城走了七次。 16 走到第七次，祭司吹响了号角，约书亚吩咐民众说：“吶喊吧！因为耶和华已经将这城交给你们了。 17 要把这座城和城里所有的东西毁灭，作为献给耶和华之物。只有妓女喇合和她家中所有的人可以活命，因为她曾把我们派去的探子隐藏起来。 18 你们要小心，不可私拿任何应当毁灭的东西，免得你们自取灭亡，并给以色列全营带来灾祸。 19 要把所有的金银和铜铁器皿分别出来献给耶和华，放进耶和华的库房里。” 20 于是，民众听到号角声时，就高声呐喊，城墙便坍塌了。民众便一拥而上，占领了耶利哥城， 21 用刀杀了城里所有的男女老少、牛羊和驴。
22 约书亚对那两个探子说：“你们到那个妓女家里，照着你们向她起过的誓，把她和她的家人都带出来。” 23 于是，那两个年轻探子便进去，把喇合和她的父母、兄弟及所有的亲人都带出来，安置在以色列人的营外。 24 以色列人烧毁全城和城内一切的东西，只把金银和铜铁器皿放在耶和华的库房里。 25 约书亚因为妓女喇合把两个探子隐藏起来，就饶了她和她一家人的性命。他们至今仍住在以色列人当中。
26 之后，约书亚起誓说：
“重建耶利哥城的人必定在耶和华面前受咒诅，
他立地基的时候必死长子，
建城门的时候必丧幼子。”
27 耶和华与约书亚同在，他的声名传遍各地。

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
Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition
6 Now Jericho was close shut up and fenced, for fear of the children of Israel, and no man durst go out or come in.
2 And the Lord said to Josue: Behold I have given into thy hands Jericho, and the king thereof, and all the valiant men.
3 Go round about the city, all ye fighting men, once a day: so shall ye do for six days.
4 And on the seventh day the priests shall take the seven trumpets, which are used in the jubilee, and shall go before the ark of the covenant: and you shall go about the city seven times, and the priests shall sound the trumpets.
5 And when the voice of the trumpet shall give a longer and broken tune, and shall sound in your ears, all the people shall shout together with a very great shout, and the walls of the city shall fall to the ground, and they shall enter in every one at the place against which they shall stand.
6 Then Josue the son of Nun called the priests, and said to them: Take the ark of the covenant: and let seven other priests take the seven trumpets of the jubilee, and march before the ark of the Lord.
7 And he said to the people: Go, and compass the city, armed, marching before the ark of the Lord.
8 And when Josue had ended his words, and the seven priests blew the seven trumpets before the ark of the covenant of the Lord,
9 And all the armed men went before, the rest of the common people followed the ark, and the sound of the trumpets was heard on all sides.
10 But Josue had commanded the people, saying: You shall not shout, nor shall your voice be heard, nor any word go out of your mouth: until the day come wherein I shall say to you: Cry, and shout.
11 So the ark of the Lord went about the city once a day, and returning into the camp, abode there.
12 And Josue rising before day, the priests took the ark of the Lord,
13 And seven of them seven trumpets, which are used in the jubilee: and they went before the ark of the Lord walking and sounding the trumpets: and the armed men went before them, and the rest of the common people followed the ark, and they blew the trumpets.
14 And they went round about the city the second day once, and returned into the camp. So they did six days.
15 But the seventh day, rising up early, they went about the city, as it was ordered, seven times.
16 And when in the seventh going about the priests sounded with the trumpets, Josue said to all Israel: Shout: for the Lord hath delivered the city to you:
17 And let this city be an anathema, and all things that are in it, to the Lord. Let only Rahab the harlot live, with all that are with her in the house: for she hid the messengers whom we sent.
18 But beware ye lest you touch ought of those things that are forbidden, and you be guilty of transgression, and all the camp of Israel be under sin, and be troubled.
19 But whatsoever gold or silver there shall be, or vessels of brass and iron, let it be consecrated to the Lord, laid up in his treasures.
20 So all the people making a shout, and the trumpets sounding, when the voice and the sound thundered in the ears of the multitude, the walls forthwith fell down: and every man went up by the place that was over against him: and they took the city,
21 And killed all that were in it, man and woman, young and old. The oxen also and the sheep, and the asses, they slew with the edge of the sword.
22 But Josue said to the two men that had been sent for spies: Go into the harlot's house, and bring her out, and all things that are hers, as you assured her by oath.
23 And the young men went in and brought out Rahab, and her parents, her brethren also and all her goods and her kindred, and made them to stay without the camp.
24 But they burned the city, and all things that were therein; except the gold and silver, and vessels of brass and iron, which they consecrated into the treasury of the Lord.
25 But Josue saved Rahab the harlot and her father's house, and all she had, and they dwelt in the midst of Israel until this present day: because she hid the messengers whom he had sent to spy out Jericho. At that time, Josue made an imprecation, saying:
26 Cursed be the man before the Lord, that shall raise up and build the city of Jericho. In his firstborn may he lay the foundation thereof, and in the last of his children set up its gates.
27 And the Lord was with Josue, and his name was noised throughout all the land.
