Joshua 6
1 Jericho's gates were shut and barred because of the Israelites. Nobody was allowed in or out.
A Jerihon stajaše silno utvrđen i zatvoren pred sinovima Izraelovim. Nitko nije izlazio niti je tko ulazio.
2 But the Lord told Joshua, “I'm handing over the city of Jericho to you, along with its king and its army of warriors.
Tada Jahve reče Jošui: “Evo, predajem ti u ruke Jerihon i kralja njegova s ratnicima.
3 March around the city with your armed men once a day for six days.
Svi vi ratnici obiđite oko grada jedanput na dan. Tako činite šest dana.
4 Seven priests are to go ahead of the Ark, each carrying a ram's horn. On the seventh day, march seven times around the city, with the priests blowing their rams' horns.
A sedam svećenika neka nose pred Kovčegom sedam truba od ovnujskih rogova. Sedmoga dana obiđite sedam puta oko grada, a svećenici neka trube u trublje.
5 When you hear a long blast on the rams' horns, everyone shall give a really loud shout. The city walls will collapse, and every man can go right in.”
Pa kad otežući zatrube u rog ovnujski, neka sav narod, čim čuje glas trube, podigne silnu bojnu viku. I srušit će se gradski bedemi, a narod neka tada ulazi svaki odande gdje se nađe.”
6 So Joshua, son of Nun, sent for the priests, and told them, “Pick up the Ark of Agreement, and have seven priests carry seven rams' horns and go ahead of the Ark of the Lord.”
Jošua, sin Nunov, pozva k sebi svećenike i reče im: “Uzmite Kovčeg saveza, a sedam svećenika neka ponese sedam truba od rogova ovnujskih pred Kovčegom Jahvinim.”
7 Then he told the people, “Move out! March around the city with the armed men up front ahead of the Ark of the Lord!”
A narodu reče: “Pođite i obiđite oko grada, a ratnici neka idu pred Kovčegom Jahvinim.”
8 When Joshua finished speaking to the people, the seven priests carrying the seven rams' horns in the presence of the Lord started out, blowing the horns, with the Ark following behind.
I bi kako je Jošua zapovjedio narodu. Pođe sedam svećenika noseći trube od rogova ovnujskih: trubili su u rogove, a Kovčeg Jahvin iđaše za njima.
9 Some of the armed men marched ahead of the priests blowing the horns, while some followed the Ark, the horns being blown continually.
Ratnici pođoše pred svećenicima koji su trubili u trube, a zalaznica krenu za Kovčegom. Stupali su tako dok se glas truba razlijegao.
10 However, Joshua ordered them, “Don't shout, don't even talk. Don't say anything until I tell you all to shout—then shout!”
A narodu bijaše zapovjedio Jošua govoreći: “Ne vičite i ne dajte glasa od sebe i nijedna riječ neka se ne čuje iz vaših usta dok vam ne kažem: 'Vičite!' Tada neka odjekne bojna vika.”
11 So the Ark of the Lord was carried around the city, circling it once. Then they returned to the camp and spent the night there.
I naredi da Kovčeg Jahvin obiđe jednom oko grada pa da se vrate u tabor i ondje prenoće.
12 Joshua got up early in the morning, and the priests picked up the Ark of the Lord.
Sutradan urani Jošua, a svećenici ponesu Kovčeg saveza.
13 The seven priests with the seven rams' horns went ahead of the Ark of the Lord, blowing the horns. The armed men went before them and behind the Ark of the Lord, the horns being blown continually.
A sedam svećenika koji su nosili sedam truba od rogova ovnujskih pođu pred Kovčegom Jahvinim. Idući trubili su u trube, ratnici iđahu pred njima, a zalaznica pak za Kovčegom Jahvinim dok su trube odjekivale.
14 So on the second day they marched around the city, circling it once, and returned to the camp. They did this for a total of six days.
Tako i drugog dana obiđu jednom oko grada pa se vrate natrag u tabor. Tako su činili šest dana.
15 On the seventh day they got up at dawn and marched around the city in the usual way, except that this day they circled the city seven times.
A sedmoga dana zorom ustanu i obiđu oko grada istim onakvim redom sedam puta. Samo su toga dana obišli oko grada sedam puta.
16 The seventh time around when the priests blew the horns, Joshua told the people, “Shout! For today the Lord has given the city to you!
Za sedmog obilaska snažno zatrube svećenici u rogove, a Jošua reče narodu: “Kličite bojne poklike jer vam je Jahve predao grad!
17 The city and everything in it is to be set apart for the Lord and destroyed. Only Rahab the prostitute and all those with her in her house shall be spared, because she hid the spies we sent.
Grad neka bude 'herem' Jahvi - uklet i predan uništenju sa svime što je u njemu. Samo bludnica Rahaba da ostane živa i svi koji budu s njom u kući, jer je ona sakrila uhode koje smo poslali.
18 But stay away from everything set apart for the Lord, for if you were to take anything you too would be liable to be destroyed, and you would also bring disaster on the camp of Israel.
A čuvajte se svega ukletog u gradu da i sami ne budete prokleti što ste uzeli ukleto, jer biste time navukli prokletstvo na tabor i unesrećili ga.
19 All the silver and the gold, and everything made of bronze and iron, are holy to the Lord and they must be placed in the Lord's treasury.”
Zato sve srebro i zlato, sve bakreno i željezno posuđe neka bude posvećeno Jahvi i pohranjeno u riznicu.”
20 So as soon as they heard the sound of the horns, the people gave a loud shout, and the city walls collapsed. The men went in right away and captured the city.
Tada povika narod i odjeknuše trube. Kada se zaori glas truba i bojni povici naroda, padoše bedemi i narod prodrije u grad, svatko odande gdje se našao, i osvojiše ga.
21 They destroyed everything in the city: men and women, young and old, cattle, sheep, and donkeys, all were killed by the sword.
I tada izvršiše kletvu ništeći oštricom mača sve što bijaše u gradu: muško i žensko, staro i mlado, volove, ovce i magarad.
22 Joshua had told the two men who had gone to explore the land, “Go to the house of Rahab the prostitute and bring her out together with all her family, as you promised.”
A onoj dvojici što su uhodili zemlju reče Jošua: “Idite u kuću one bludnice pa izvedite ženu sa svima njezinima, kako joj se zakleste.”
23 So the spies went and brought out Rahab, her father and mother, and all who were with her. They brought out the whole family and took them to a place near the Israelite camp.
I mladi ljudi, uhode, odoše te izvedoše Rahabu, njezina oca i njezinu majku, braću i svu rodbinu. Izvedoše sve njezine i smjestiše ih izvan izraelskog tabora.
24 Then the Israelites burned down the city and everything in it, except for the silver and the gold, and everything made of bronze and iron, which they placed in the treasury of the Lord's house.
Spališe grad i sve što bijaše u njemu: uzeše samo srebro, zlato, tučano i željezno posuđe i staviše u riznicu Doma Jahvina.
25 Joshua spared Rahab the prostitute and her family because she hid the men Joshua had sent to spy out Jericho. And she lives among the Israelites to this day.
Ali bludnicu Rahabu, svu njenu obitelj i sve njihovo poštedi Jošua. Ona ostade među Izraelcima sve do danas, jer je sakrila glasnike koje je poslao Jošua da uhode Jerihon.
26 At that time Joshua declared a curse, saying: “Cursed before the Lord is anyone who attempts to rebuild this city of Jericho. He lays its foundation at the cost of his firstborn son; he sets up its gates at the cost of his youngest son.”
Tada izreče Jošua ovu kletvu: “Proklet bio pred licem Jahve čovjek koji pokuša da ponovo gradi Jerihon: gradio mu temelje na svom prvencu, podizao mu vrata na svome mezimcu!”
27 So the Lord was with Joshua, and his fame spread throughout the land.
Jahve je bio s Jošuom te se pronio glas o njemu po svoj zemlji.
