Joshua, 6

1. Now Jericho was closed as well as fortified, out of fear of the sons of Israel, and no one dared to depart or to enter.

1. A Jerihon stajaše silno utvrðen i zatvoren pred sinovima Izraelovim. Nitko nije izlazio niti je tko ulazio.

2. And the Lord said to Joshua: “Behold, I have given Jericho into your hand, with its king and all the strong men.

2. Tada Jahve reèe Jošui: "Evo, predajem ti u ruke Jerihon i kralja njegova s ratnicima.

3. Have all the warriors circle the city once each day; you shall do so for six days.

3. Svi vi ratnici obiðite oko grada jedanput na dan. Tako èinite šest dana.

4. Then, on the seventh day, the priests shall take the seven trumpets, which are used on the jubilee, and they shall precede the ark of the covenant. And you shall circle the city seven times, and the priests shall sound the trumpets.

4. A sedam sveæenika neka nose pred Kovèegom sedam truba od ovnujskih rogova. Sedmoga dana obiðite sedam puta oko grada, a sveæenici neka trube u trublje.

5. And when the voice of the trumpet sounds longer and with interruptions, and it increases in your ears, then all the people shall cry out together with a very great shout, and the walls of the city shall fall to the foundation, and they shall enter it, each from a place opposite where they are standing.”

5. Pa kad otežuæi zatrube u rog ovnujski, neka sav narod, èim èuje glas trube, podigne silnu bojnu viku. I srušit æe se gradski bedemi, a narod neka tada ulazi svaki odande gdje se naðe."

6. Then Joshua, the son of Nun, called the priests, and he said to them, “Take the ark of the covenant, and let seven other priests take the seven trumpets of the jubilee, and advance before the ark of the Lord.”

6. Jošua, sin Nunov, pozva k sebi sveæenike i reèe im: "Uzmite Kovèeg saveza, a sedam sveæenika neka ponese sedam truba od rogova ovnujskih pred Kovèegom Jahvinim."

7. He also said to the people, “Go, and circle the city, armed, preceding the ark of the Lord.”

7. A narodu reèe: "Poðite i obiðite oko grada, a ratnici neka idu pred Kovèegom Jahvinim."

8. And when Joshua had finished his words, and the seven priests sounded the seven trumpets before the ark of the covenant of the Lord,

8. I bi kako je Jošua zapovjedio narodu. Poðe sedam sveæenika noseæi trube od rogova ovnujskih: trubili su u rogove, a Kovèeg Jahvin iðaše za njima.

9. and all the armed soldiers went ahead, the remainder of the common people followed the ark, and the sound of the trumpets grew louder everywhere.

9. Ratnici poðoše pred sveæenicima koji su trubili u trube, a zalaznica krenu za Kovèegom. Stupali su tako dok se glas truba razlijegao.

10. But Joshua had instructed the people, saying, “You shall not cry out, nor shall your voice be heard, and no word at all shall proceed from your mouth, until the day arrives on which I will say to you, ‘Cry out, and shout.’ ”

10. A narodu bijaše zapovjedio Jošua govoreæi: "Ne vièite i ne dajte glasa od sebe i nijedna rijeè neka se ne èuje iz vaših usta dok vam ne kažem: 'Vièite!' Tada neka odjekne bojna vika."

11. Thus, the ark of the Lord circled the city once each day, and returning to the camp, it remained there.

11. I naredi da Kovèeg Jahvin obiðe jednom oko grada pa da se vrate u tabor i ondje prenoæe.

12. And so, with Joshua, arising in the night, the priests took the ark of the Lord,

12. Sutradan urani Jošua, a sveæenici ponesu Kovèeg saveza.

13. and seven of them took the seven trumpets, which are used in the jubilee, and they preceded the ark of the Lord, walking and sounding the trumpets. And the armed men went before them, and the remainder of the common people followed the ark, and they were blaring the trumpets.

13. A sedam sveæenika koji su nosili sedam truba od rogova ovnujskih poðu pred Kovèegom Jahvinim. Iduæi trubili su u trube, ratnici iðahu pred njima, a zalaznica pak za Kovèegom Jahvinim dok su trube odjekivale.

14. And they circled the city on the second day, once, and they returned to the camp. They did so for six days.

14. Tako i drugog dana obiðu jednom oko grada pa se vrate natrag u tabor. Tako su èinili šest dana.

15. Then, on the seventh day, rising at first light, they circled the city, just as had been ordered, seven times.

15. A sedmoga dana zorom ustanu i obiðu oko grada istim onakvim redom sedam puta. Samo su toga dana obišli oko grada sedam puta.

16. And at the seventh circling, when the priests sounded the trumpets, Joshua said to all of Israel: “Shout! For the Lord has delivered the city to you.

16. Za sedmog obilaska snažno zatrube sveæenici u rogove, a Jošua reèe narodu: "Klièite bojne poklike jer vam je Jahve predao grad!

17. And let this city be anathema, with all the things that are within it, before the Lord. May only Rahab the harlot live, with all who are with her in the house. For she hid the messengers whom we sent.

17. 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 kuæi, jer je ona sakrila uhode koje smo poslali.

18. But you must be careful that you do not touch any of those things, as you have been instructed, for then you would be guilty of transgression, and all the camp of Israel would be under sin and would be troubled.

18. A èuvajte se svega ukletog u gradu da i sami ne budete prokleti što ste uzeli ukleto, jer biste time navukli prokletstvo na tabor i unesreæili ga.

19. But whatever gold and silver there will be, and vessels of brass or of iron, let these be consecrated to the Lord and be stored in his treasuries.”

19. Zato sve srebro i zlato, sve bakreno i željezno posuðe neka bude posveæeno Jahvi i pohranjeno u riznicu."

20. Therefore, with all the people shouting, and the trumpets blaring, after the voice and the sound increased in the ears of the multitude, the walls promptly fell to ruin. And each one climbed up at the place which was opposite where he was. And they seized the city.

20. 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. And they put to death all who were in it, from man even to woman, from infant even to elder. Likewise, the oxen and sheep and donkeys, they struck down with the edge of the sword.

21. I tada izvršiše kletvu ništeæi oštricom maèa sve što bijaše u gradu: muško i žensko, staro i mlado, volove, ovce i magarad.

22. But Joshua said to the two men who had been sent to explore, “Enter the house of the harlot woman, and bring her out, and all the things that are hers, just as you assured her by oath.”

22. A onoj dvojici što su uhodili zemlju reèe Jošua: "Idite u kuæu one bludnice pa izvedite ženu sa svima njezinima, kako joj se zakleste."

23. And the youths entered, and they led out Rahab, and her parents, also her brothers, and all her goods and kindred, and they caused them to dwell outside the camp.

23. I mladi ljudi, uhode, odoše te izvedoše Rahabu, njezina oca i njezinu majku, braæu i svu rodbinu. Izvedoše sve njezine i smjestiše ih izvan izraelskog tabora.

24. Then they set fire to the city and all the things that were within it, except the gold and silver, and the vessels of brass or of iron, which they consecrated into the treasury of the Lord.

24. Spališe grad i sve što bijaše u njemu: uzeše samo srebro, zlato, tuèano i željezno posuðe i staviše u riznicu Doma Jahvina.

25. Yet truly, Joshua caused Rahab the harlot, and her father’s household, and all she had, to survive. And they lived in the midst of Israel, even to the present day. For she hid the messengers, whom he had sent to explore Jericho. At that time, Joshua made an invocation, saying:

25. Ali bludnicu Rahabu, svu njenu obitelj i sve njihovo poštedi Jošua. Ona ostade meðu Izraelcima sve do danas, jer je sakrila glasnike koje je poslao Jošua da uhode Jerihon.

26. “Cursed before the Lord is the man who will raise up and rebuild the city of Jericho! With his firstborn, may he lay its foundation, and with the last of his children, may he set up its gates.”

26. Tada izreèe Jošua ovu kletvu: "Proklet bio pred licem Jahve èovjek koji pokuša da ponovo gradi Jerihon: gradio mu temelje na svom prvencu, podizao mu vrata na svome mezimcu!"

27. And so the Lord was with Joshua, and his name was made known throughout all the land.

27. Jahve je bio s Jošuom te se pronio glas o njemu po svoj zemlji.
