Josua 6
1 Men Jeriko var lukket og stængt for Israelitterne, ingen gik ud eller ind.
And Jericho shuts itself up, and is shut up, because of the presence of the sons of Israel—none going out, and none coming in.
2 Da sagde HERREN til Josua: "Se, jeg giver Jeriko og dets Konge og Krigere i din Hånd.
And YHWH says to Joshua, “See, I have given Jericho and its king into your hand—mighty men of valor,
3 Alle eders våbenføre Mænd skal gå rundt om Byen, een Gang rundt; det skal I gøre seks Dage;
and you have surrounded the city—all the men of battle—going around the city once; thus you do [for] six days;
4 og syv Præster skal bære syv Væderhorn foran Arken. Men den syvende Dag skal I gå rundt om Byen syv Gange, og Præsterne skal støde i Hornene.
and seven priests carry seven horns of the rams before the Ark, and on the seventh day you go around the city seven times, and the priests blow with the horns,
5 Når der så blæses i Væderhornet, og I hører Hornets Lyd, skal alt Folket opløfte et vældigt Krigsskrig; så skal Byens Mur styrte sammen, og Folket kan gå lige ind, hver fra sin Plads."
and it has been, in the prolonging of the horn of the ram, in your hearing the voice of the horn, all the people shout [with] a great shout, and the wall of the city has fallen under it, and the people have gone up, each straight before him.”
6 Josua, Nuns Søn, lod da Præsterne kalde og sagde til dem: "I skal bære Pagtens Ark, og syv Præster skal bære syv Væderhorn foran HERRENs Ark!"
And Joshua son of Nun calls to the priests and says to them, “Carry the Ark of the Covenant, and seven priests carry seven horns of the rams before the Ark of YHWH”;
7 Og han sagde til Folket: "Drag ud og gå rundt om Byen, således at de, som bærer Våben, går foran HERRENs Ark!"
and He said to the people, “Pass over, and go around the city, and he who is armed passes over before the Ark of YHWH.”
8 Da nu Josua havde talt til Folket, gik de syv Præster, som bar de syv Væderhorn foran HERREN, frem og stødte i Hornene, medens HERRENs Pagts Ark fulgte efter;
And it comes to pass, when Joshua speaks to the people, that the seven priests carrying seven horns of the rams before YHWH have passed over and blown with the horns, and the Ark of the Covenant of YHWH is going after them;
9 og de, som bar Våben, gik foran Præsterne, som stødte i Hornene, og de, som sluttede Toget, fulgte efter Arken, medens der blæstes i Hornene.
and he who is armed is going before the priests blowing the horns, and he who is gathering up is going after the Ark, going on and blowing with the horns;
10 Men Josua bød Folket: "I må ikke opløfte Krigsskrig eller lade eders Røst høre, og intet Ord må udgå af eders Mund, før den Dag jeg siger til eder: Råb! Men så skal I råbe!"
and Joshua has commanded the people, saying, “Do not shout, nor cause your voice to be heard, nor does a word go out from your mouth, until the day of my saying to you, Shout! Then you have shouted.”
11 Så lod han HERRENs Ark bære rundt om Byen, een Gang rundt, og derpå begav de sig tilbage til Lejren og overnattede der.
And the Ark of YHWH goes around the city, going around once, and they come into the camp, and lodge in the camp.
12 Tidligt næste Morgen gjorde Josua sig rede, og Præsterne bar HERRENs Ark,
And Joshua rises early in the morning, and the priests carry the Ark of YHWH,
13 og de syv Præster, som bar de syv Væderhorn foran HERRENs Ark, gik og stødte i Hornene; de, som bar Våben, gik foran dem, og de, som sluttede Toget, fulgte efter HERRENs Ark, medens der blæstes i Hornene.
and seven priests carrying seven horns of the rams before the Ark of YHWH are walking, going on, and they have blown with the horns—and he who is armed is going before them, and he who is gathering up is going behind the Ark of YHWH—going on and blowing with the horns.
14 Anden Dag gik de een Gang rundt om Byen, hvorefter de vendte tilbage til Lejren; således gjorde de seks Dage.
And they go around the city once on the second day, and return to the camp; thus they have done [for] six days.
15 Men den syvende Dag brød de op tidligt, ved Morgenrødens frembrud og gik på samme Måde syv Gange rundt om Byen; kun på denne Dag drog de syv Gange rundt om Byen;
And it comes to pass, on the seventh day, that they rise early, at the ascending of the dawn, and go around the city, according to this manner, seven times; (only on that day have they gone around the city seven times);
16 og syvende Gang stødte Præsterne i Hornene, og Josua sagde til Folket: "Opløft Krigsskriget! Thi HERREN har givet eder Byen.
and it comes to pass, at the seventh time, the priests have blown with the horns, and Joshua says to the people, “Shout! For YHWH has given the city to you;
17 Og Byen skal lyses i Band for HERREN med alt, hvad der er i den; kun Skøgen Rahab skal blive i Live tillige med alle dem, som er i hendes Hus, fordi hun skjulte Sendebudene, som vi udsendte.
and the city has been devoted, it and all that [is] in it, to YHWH; only Rahab the harlot lives, she and all who [are] with her in the house, for she hid the messengers whom we sent;
18 Men I skal tage eder vel i Vare for det bandlyste, så I ikke attrår og tager noget af det bandlyste og derved bringer Bandet over Israels lejr og styrter den i Ulykke.
and surely you have kept from the devoted thing, lest you devote [yourselves], and have taken from the devoted thing, and have made the camp of Israel become a devoted thing, and have troubled it;
19 Men alt Sølv og Guld og alle Kobber og Jernsager skal helliges HERREN; det skal bringes ind i HERRENs Skatkammer!"
and all the silver and gold, and vessels of bronze and iron—it [is] holy to YHWH; it comes into the treasury of YHWH.”
20 Så opløftede Folket Krigsskrig, og de stødte i Hornene og da Folket hørte Hornene, opløftede det et vældigt Krigsskrig; da styrtede Muren sammen, og Folket gik lige ind i Byen; således indtog de Byen.
And the people shout, and blow with the horns, and it comes to pass, when the people hear the voice of the horn, that the people shout [with] a great shout, and the wall falls under it, and the people goes up into the city, each straight before him, and they capture the city;
21 Derpå lagde de med Sværdet Band på alt, hvad der var i Byen, Mænd og Kvinder, unge og gamle, Hornkvæg, Småkvæg og Æsler.
and they devote all that [is] in the city, from man even to woman, from young even to aged, even to ox, and sheep, and donkey, by the mouth of the sword.
22 Men til de to Mænd, som havde udspejdet Landet, sagde Josua: "Gå ind i Skøgens Hus og før Kvinden og alt, hvad hendes er, ud derfra, som I tilsvor hende!"
And Joshua said to the two men who are spying out the land, “Go into the house of the woman, the harlot, and bring out the woman from there, and all whom she has, as you have sworn to her.”
23 De unge Mænd, som havde været Spejdere, gik da ind og førte Rabab ud tillige med hendes Fader og Moder og hendes Brødre, hele hendes Slægt og alt, hvad hendes var; de førte dem ud og lod dem stå uden for Israels Lejr.
And the young men, those spying, go in and bring out Rahab, and her father, and her mother, and her brothers, and all whom she has; indeed, they have brought out all her relatives, and place them at the outside of the camp of Israel.
24 Men på Byen og alt, hvad der var i den, stak de Ild; kun Sølvet og Guldet og Kobber og Jernsagerne bragte de ind i HERRENs Hus's Skatkammer.
And they have burned the city with fire, and all that [is] in it; only, the silver and the gold, and the vessels of bronze, and of iron, they have given [to] the treasury of the house of YHWH;
25 Men Skøgen Rahab og hendes Fædrenehus og alt, hvad hendes var, lod Josua blive i Live, og hun kom til at bo blandt Israeliterne og gør det den Dag i Dag, fordi hun havde skjult Sendebudene, som Josua havde sendt ud for at udspejde Jeriko.
and Rahab the harlot, and the house of her father, and all whom she has, Joshua has kept alive; and she dwells in the midst of Israel to this day, for she hid the messengers whom Joshua sent to spy out Jericho.
26 På den Tid tog Josua Folket i Ed, idet han sagde: "Forbandet være den Mand for HERRENs Åsyn, som indlader sig på at opbygge denne By, Jeriko. Det skal koste ham hans førstefødte at lægge Grunden og hans yngste at sætte dens Portfløje ind."
And Joshua adjures [them] at that time, saying, “Cursed [is] the man before YHWH who raises up and has built this city, [even] Jericho; he lays its foundation in his firstborn, and he sets up its doors in his youngest.”
27 Således var HERREN med Josua, og hans Ry udbredte sig over hele Landet.
And YHWH is with Joshua, and his fame is in all the land.
