Josue 6
Ang Pulong Sa Dios
Ang Pagkalaglag sa Jerico
6 Gisirad-an pag-ayo ang Jerico sa mga nagpuyo didto tungod sa mga Israelinhon. Walay makasulod o makagawas sa lungsod. 2 Miingon ang Ginoo kang Josue, “Ipasakop ko kaninyo ang Jerico apil ang iyang hari ug mga sundalo. 3 Ikaw ug ang tanan mong mga sundalo molibot sa lungsod kausa kada adlaw, sulod sa unom ka adlaw. 4 Paunahon mo sa Kahon sa Kasabotan ang pito ka mga pari nga nagtagsa ug dala ug budyong. Unya sa ikapito nga adlaw, molibot kamo sa lungsod ug kapito, uban sa mga pari nga nagapatingog sa mga budyong. 5 Kon madungog na ninyo ang dugay nga tingog sa ilang budyong, paninggit kamong tanan ug kusog kaayo. Nianang higayona mahugno ang paril sa lungsod ug makasulod kamong tanan nga wala gayoy babag.”
6 Busa gitawag ni Josue nga anak ni Nun ang mga pari ug giingnan, “Dad-a ninyo ang sudlanan sa Kasabotan. Mag-una ang pito kaninyo nga magtagsa ug dala ug budyong.” 7 Ug giingnan usab niya ang mga tawo, “Panglakaw na kamo. Libota ninyo ang lungsod. Ang uban nga mga sundalo mag-una sa pito ka mga pari nga nagadala ug mga budyong.”
8 Busa sumala sa gimando ni Josue, nagauna ang pito ka mga pari sa sudlanan sa Kasabotan ug gipatingog nila ang mga budyong. 9 Ang ubang mga sundalo nagauna niadtong mga pari, ug ang uban nagsunod sa sudlanan sa Kasabotan. Wala gayoy hunong ang pagtingog sa mga budyong. 10 Apan gimandoan ni Josue ang mga tawo nga dili mosinggit o magsaba hangtod nga dili siya momando nga maninggit. 11 Busa sumala sa gisugo ni Josue, gilibot nila sa lungsod sa makausa ang Kahon sa Kasabotan sa Ginoo. Pagkahuman, mibalik sila sa ilang kampo ug didto natulog pagkagabii.
12 Pagkabuntag, sayo kaayong mibangon si Josue. Gidala pag-usab sa mga pari ang Kahon sa Kasabotan sa Ginoo, 13 ug nagauna gihapon ang pito ka mga pari nga nagapatingog sa mga budyong. Ug mao usab gihapon ang gihimo sa mga sundalo—ang uban kanila nagauna ug ang uban nagasunod sa Kahon sa Kasabotan sa Ginoo, samtang padayon nga ginapatingog ang mga budyong. 14 Mao kini ang ikaduhang adlaw nga milibot sila ug kausa sa lungsod, ug pagkahuman, mibalik na usab sila sa ilang kampo. Mao kadto ang ilang gihimo sulod sa unom ka adlaw.
15 Sa ikapito ka adlaw, kadlawon pa silang mibangon ug milibot sa lungsod sama sa ilang gihimo sa miaging unom ka adlaw. Apan niining adlawa milibot sila sa lungsod ug kapito. 16 Sa ikapito na nilang libot, gipatingog sa mga pari ang ilang mga budyong ug gimandoan ni Josue ang mga tawo nga maninggit. Ug miingon si Josue, “Gihatag na sa Ginoo kaninyo kining lungsora! 17 Ang tibuok lungsod ug ang tanan nga anaa niini laglagon sa hingpit ingon nga halad ngadto sa Ginoo. Si Rahab lang nga nagabaligya sa iyang dungog ug ang tibuok niyang panimalay ang luwason tungod kay gitagoan niya ang atong mga espiya. 18 Ayaw gayod kamo pagkuha ug bisan unsang butang nga gihalad na sa hingpit ngadto sa Ginoo. Kay kon himuon ninyo kini malaglag gayod kamo, ug kamo ang mahimong hinungdan kon may kalaglagan nga moabot sa Israel. 19 Ang tanang butang nga hinimo sa plata, bulawan, bronsi, o puthaw igahin alang sa Ginoo, ug kinahanglang ibutang kini sa panudlanan sa bahandi sa Ginoo.”
20 Gipatingog sa mga pari ang ilang mga budyong, ug unya naninggit ug kusog ang mga Israelinhon sa dihang nadungog nila kini. Nahugno ang mga paril sa lungsod ug miataki sila. Nakasulod sila nga wala gayoy babag, ug giilog nila ang lungsod. 21 Gihalad nila sa hingpit sa Ginoo ang lungsod pinaagi sa pagpamatay sa mga lalaki ug babaye, tigulang ug bata, ug lakip ang mga baka, karnero, kanding, ug mga asno.
22 Giingnan ni Josue ang duha ka tawo nga nangispiya kaniadto sa yuta sa Jerico, “Adtoa ninyo ang balay sa babayeng nagabaligya sa iyang dungog, ug igawas ninyo siya ug ang tanang sakop sa iyang panimalay sumala sa inyong gisaad kaniya.”
23 Busa milakaw ang duha ug gidala nila sa gawas si Rahab uban sa iyang amahan, inahan, mga igsoon ug ang tanang sakop sa iyang panimalay. Gipagawas nila silang tanan ug gipahimutang sa usa ka dapit gawas sa ilang kampo. 24 Gisunog nila ang tibuok nga lungsod ug ang tanang anaa niini gawas lang sa mga butang nga hinimo ug plata, bulawan, bronsi, ug puthaw. Gipanguha nila kini aron ibutang sa panudlanan sa bahandi sa Ginoo. 25 Apan giluwas ni Josue si Rahab ug ang iyang panimalay tungod kay gitagoan niya ang mga lalaki nga gisugo ni Josue nga mangispiya sa Jerico. Hangtod karon ang iyang mga kaliwat nagapuyo pa sa Israel.
26 Niadtong panahona, gipasidan-an ni Josue ang mga Israelinhon: “Panghimaraoton sa Ginoo si bisan kinsa nga magtinguha sa pagtukod pag-usab niining lungsod sa Jerico. Si bisan kinsa nga motukod pag-usab sa pundasyon niini mamatyag kamagulangang anak. Ang moayo sa mga pultahan niini mamatyag kamanghorang anak.”
27 Ang Ginoo miuban gayod kang Josue, ug nabantog siya sa tibuok nga nasod.
約書亞記 6
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 International Version
6 Now the gates of Jericho(A) were securely barred because of the Israelites. No one went out and no one came in.
2 Then the Lord said to Joshua, “See, I have delivered(B) Jericho into your hands, along with its king and its fighting men. 3 March around the city once with all the armed men. Do this for six days. 4 Have seven priests carry trumpets of rams’ horns(C) in front of the ark. On the seventh day, march around the city seven times, with the priests blowing the trumpets.(D) 5 When you hear them sound a long blast(E) on the trumpets, have the whole army give a loud shout;(F) then the wall of the city will collapse and the army will go up, everyone straight in.”
6 So Joshua son of Nun called the priests and said to them, “Take up the ark of the covenant of the Lord and have seven priests carry trumpets in front of it.”(G) 7 And he ordered the army, “Advance(H)! March around the city, with an armed guard going ahead of the ark(I) of the Lord.”
8 When Joshua had spoken to the people, the seven priests carrying the seven trumpets before the Lord went forward, blowing their trumpets, and the ark of the Lord’s covenant followed them. 9 The armed guard marched ahead of the priests who blew the trumpets, and the rear guard(J) followed the ark. All this time the trumpets were sounding. 10 But Joshua had commanded the army, “Do not give a war cry, do not raise your voices, do not say a word until the day I tell you to shout. Then shout!(K)” 11 So he had the ark of the Lord carried around the city, circling it once. Then the army returned to camp and spent the night there.
12 Joshua got up early the next morning and the priests took up the ark of the Lord. 13 The seven priests carrying the seven trumpets went forward, marching before the ark of the Lord and blowing the trumpets. The armed men went ahead of them and the rear guard followed the ark of the Lord, while the trumpets kept sounding. 14 So on the second day they marched around the city once and returned to the camp. They did this for six days.
15 On the seventh day, they got up at daybreak and marched around the city seven times in the same manner, except that on that day they circled the city seven times.(L) 16 The seventh time around, when the priests sounded the trumpet blast, Joshua commanded the army, “Shout! For the Lord has given you the city!(M) 17 The city and all that is in it are to be devoted[a](N) to the Lord. Only Rahab the prostitute(O) and all who are with her in her house shall be spared, because she hid(P) the spies we sent. 18 But keep away from the devoted things,(Q) so that you will not bring about your own destruction by taking any of them. Otherwise you will make the camp of Israel liable to destruction(R) and bring trouble(S) on it. 19 All the silver and gold and the articles of bronze and iron(T) are sacred to the Lord and must go into his treasury.”
20 When the trumpets sounded,(U) the army shouted, and at the sound of the trumpet, when the men gave a loud shout,(V) the wall collapsed; so everyone charged straight in, and they took the city.(W) 21 They devoted(X) the city to the Lord and destroyed(Y) with the sword every living thing in it—men and women, young and old, cattle, sheep and donkeys.
22 Joshua said to the two men(Z) who had spied out(AA) the land, “Go into the prostitute’s house and bring her out and all who belong to her, in accordance with your oath to her.(AB)” 23 So the young men who had done the spying went in and brought out Rahab, her father and mother, her brothers and sisters and all who belonged to her.(AC) They brought out her entire family and put them in a place outside the camp of Israel.
24 Then they burned the whole city(AD) and everything in it, but they put the silver and gold and the articles of bronze and iron(AE) into the treasury of the Lord’s house.(AF) 25 But Joshua spared(AG) Rahab the prostitute,(AH) with her family and all who belonged to her, because she hid the men Joshua had sent as spies to Jericho(AI)—and she lives among the Israelites to this day.
26 At that time Joshua pronounced this solemn oath:(AJ) “Cursed(AK) before the Lord is the one who undertakes to rebuild this city, Jericho:
“At the cost of his firstborn son
    he will lay its foundations;
at the cost of his youngest
    he will set up its gates.”(AL)
27 So the Lord was with Joshua,(AM) and his fame spread(AN) throughout the land.

Joshua 6
New King James Version
The Destruction of Jericho
6 Now (A)Jericho was securely shut up because of the children of Israel; none went out, and none came in. 2 And the Lord said to Joshua: “See! (B)I have given Jericho into your hand, its (C)king, and the mighty men of valor. 3 You shall march around the city, all you men of war; you shall go all around the city once. This you shall do six days. 4 And seven priests shall bear seven (D)trumpets of rams’ horns before the ark. But the seventh day you shall march around the city (E)seven times, and (F)the priests shall blow the trumpets. 5 It shall come to pass, when they make a long blast with the ram’s horn, and when you hear the sound of the trumpet, that all the people shall shout with a great shout; then the wall of the city will fall down flat. And the people shall go up every man straight before him.”
6 Then Joshua 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 the Lord.” 7 And he said to the people, “Proceed, and march around the city, and let him who is armed advance before the ark of the Lord.”
8 So it was, when Joshua had spoken to the people, that the seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the Lord advanced and blew the trumpets, and the ark of the covenant of the Lord followed them. 9 The armed men went before the priests who blew the trumpets, (G)and the rear guard came after the ark, while the priests continued blowing the trumpets. 10 Now Joshua had commanded the people, saying, “You shall not shout or make any noise with your voice, nor shall a word proceed out of your mouth, until the day I say to you, ‘Shout!’ Then you shall shout.” 11 So he had (H)the ark of the Lord circle the city, going around it once. Then they came into the camp and [a]lodged in the camp.
12 And Joshua rose early in the morning, (I)and the priests took up the ark of the Lord. 13 Then 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 rear guard came after the ark of the Lord, while the priests continued blowing the trumpets. 14 And the second day they marched around the city once and returned to the camp. So they did six days.
15 But it came to pass on the seventh day that they rose early, about the dawning of the day, and marched around the city seven times in the same manner. On that day only they marched around the city seven times. 16 And the seventh time it happened, when the priests blew the trumpets, that Joshua said to the people: “Shout, for the Lord has given you the city! 17 Now the city shall be (J)doomed by the Lord to destruction, it and all who are in it. Only (K)Rahab the harlot shall live, she and all who are with her in the house, because (L)she hid the messengers that we sent. 18 And you, (M)by all means abstain from the accursed things, lest you become accursed when you take of the accursed things, and make the camp of Israel a curse, (N)and trouble it. 19 But all the silver and gold, and vessels of bronze and iron, are [b]consecrated to the Lord; they [c]shall come into the treasury of the Lord.”
20 So the people shouted when the priests blew the trumpets. And it happened when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, and the people shouted with a great shout, that (O)the wall fell down flat. Then the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they took the city. 21 And they (P)utterly destroyed all that was in the city, both man and woman, young and old, ox and sheep and donkey, with the edge of the sword.
22 But Joshua had said to the two men who had spied out the country, “Go into the harlot’s house, and from there bring out the woman and all that she has, (Q)as you swore to her.” 23 And the young men who had been spies went in and brought out Rahab, (R)her father, her mother, her brothers, and all that she had. So they brought out all her relatives and left them outside the camp of Israel. 24 But they burned the city and all that was in it with fire. Only the silver and gold, and the vessels of bronze and iron, they put into the treasury of the house of the Lord. 25 And Joshua spared Rahab the harlot, her father’s household, and all that she had. So (S)she dwells in Israel to this day, because she hid the messengers whom Joshua sent to spy out Jericho.
26 Then Joshua [d]charged them at that time, saying, (T)“Cursed be the man before the Lord who rises up and builds this city Jericho; he shall lay its foundation with his firstborn, and with his youngest he shall set up its gates.”
27 So the Lord was with Joshua, and his fame spread throughout all the country.
