1. Iericho autem erat munita et clausa coram filiis Israel, et nul lus egredi audebat aut ingredi.

1. Now Jericho was shut up from within and from without because of the people of Israel; none went out, and none came in.

2. Dixitque Dominus ad Iosue: “Ecce dedi in manu tua Iericho et regem eius omnesque fortes viros.

2. And the LORD said to Joshua, "See, I have given into your hand Jericho, with its king and mighty men of valor.

3. Circuite urbem cuncti bellatores semel per diem: sic facietis sex diebus.

3. You shall march around the city, all the men of war going around the city once. Thus shall you do for six days.

4. Septem sacerdotes portabunt septem bucinas, cornua arietum, ante arcam foederis. Die autem septimo septies circuibitis civitatem, et sacerdotes clangent bucinis.

4. And seven priests shall bear seven trumpets of rams' horns before the ark; and on the seventh day you shall march around the city seven times, the priests blowing the trumpets.

5. Cumque insonuerit vox tubae longior et in auribus vestris increpuerit, conclamabit omnis populus vociferatione maxima, et muri funditus corruent civitatis; ingredienturque singuli per locum, contra quem steterint”.

5. And when they make a long blast with the ram's horn, as soon as you hear the sound of the trumpet, then all the people shall shout with a great shout; and the wall of the city will fall down flat, and the people shall go up every man straight before him."

6. Vocavit ergo Iosue filius Nun sacerdotes et dixit ad eos: “Tollite arcam foederis, et septem alii sacerdotes tollant septem bucinas et incedant ante arcam Domini”.

6. So 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. Ad populum quoque ait: “Vadite et circuite civitatem, et viri armati praecedant arcam Domini”.

7. And he said to the people, "Go forward; march around the city, and let the armed men pass on before the ark of the LORD."

8. Cumque Iosue verba finisset, septem sacerdotes septem bucinis clangebant ante arcam foederis Domini,

8. And as Joshua had commanded the people, the seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams' horns before the LORD went forward, blowing the trumpets, with the ark of the covenant of the LORD following them.

9. omnisque armatus exercitus praecedebat sacerdotes clangentes, reliquum vulgus arcam sequebatur, ac bucinis omnia concrepabant.

9. And the armed men went before the priests who blew the trumpets, and the rear guard came after the ark, while the trumpets blew continually.

10. Praeceperat autem Iosue populo dicens: “Non clamabitis, nec audietur vox vestra, neque ullus sermo ex ore vestro egredietur, donec veniat dies, in quo dicam vobis: Clamate et vociferamini”.

10. But Joshua commanded the people, "You shall not shout or let your voice be heard, neither shall any word go out of your mouth, until the day I bid you shout; then you shall shout."

11. Circuivit ergo arca Domini civitatem per diem, et reversi in castra pernoctaverunt ibi.

11. So he caused the ark of the LORD to compass the city, going about it once; and they came into the camp, and spent the night in the camp.

12. Igitur, Iosue de nocte consurgente, tulerunt sacerdotes arcam Domini,

12. Then Joshua rose early in the morning, and the priests took up the ark of the LORD.

13. et septem ex eis septem bucinas, cornua arietum, praecedebantque arcam Domini ambulantes atque clangentes, et armatus populus ibat ante eos; vulgus autem reliquum sequebatur arcam, bucinis personantibus.

13. And the seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams' horns before the ark of the LORD passed on, blowing the trumpets continually; and the armed men went before them, and the rear guard came after the ark of the LORD, while the trumpets blew continually.

14. Circuieruntque civitatem secundo die semel et reversi sunt in castra; sic fecerunt sex diebus.

14. And the second day they marched around the city once, and returned into the camp. So they did for six days.

15. Die autem septimo, diluculo consurgentes circuierunt urbem eodem modo septies; in illo die tantum circuierunt urbem septies.

15. On the seventh day they rose early at the dawn of day, and marched around the city in the same manner seven times: it was only on that day that they marched around the city seven times.

16. Cumque septimo circuitu clangerent bucinis sacerdotes, dixit Iosue ad populum: “Vociferamini! Tradidit enim vobis Dominus civitatem.

16. And at the seventh time, when the priests had blown the trumpets, Joshua said to the people, "Shout; for the LORD has given you the city.

17. Sitque civitas anathema, ipsa et omnia, quae in ea sunt, Domino; sola Rahab meretrix vivat cum universis, qui cum ea in domo sunt: abscondit enim nuntios, quos direximus.

17. And the city and all that is within it shall be devoted to the LORD for destruction; only Rahab the harlot and all who are with her in her house shall live, because she hid the messengers that we sent.

18. Vos autem cavete, ne de anathemate quippiam auferatis et sitis praevaricationis rei, et omnia castra Israel anathema sint atque turbentur.

18. But you, keep yourselves from the things devoted to destruction, lest when you have devoted them you take any of the devoted things and make the camp of Israel a thing for destruction, and bring trouble upon it.

19. Quidquid auri et argenti fuerit et vasorum aeneorum ac ferri, Domino consecretur repositum in thesauris eius”.

19. But all silver and gold, and vessels of bronze and iron, are sacred to the LORD; they shall go into the treasury of the LORD."

20. Igitur, omni vociferante populo et clangentibus tubis, postquam in aures multitudinis vox sonitusque increpuit, muri ilico corruerunt; et ascendit unusquisque per locum, qui contra se erat, ceperuntque civitatem.

20. So the people shouted, and the trumpets were blown. As soon as the people heard the sound of the trumpet, the people raised a great shout, and the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they took the city.

21. Et interfecerunt omnia, quae erant in ea, a viro usque ad mulierem, ab infante usque ad senem; boves quoque et oves et asinos in ore gladii percusserunt.

21. Then they utterly destroyed all in the city, both men and women, young and old, oxen, sheep, and asses, with the edge of the sword.

22. Duobus autem viris, qui exploratores missi fuerant, dixit Iosue: “Ingredimini domum mulieris meretricis et producite eam et omnia, quae illius sunt, sicut illi iuramento firmastis”.

22. And Joshua said to the two men who had spied out the land, "Go into the harlot's house, and bring out from it the woman, and all who belong to her, as you swore to her."

23. Ingressique iuvenes eduxerunt Rahab et parentes eius, fratres quoque et cunctam supellectilem ac cognationem illius et extra castra Israel manere fecerunt.

23. So the young men who had been spies went in, and brought out Rahab, and her father and mother and brothers and all who belonged to her; and they brought all her kindred, and set them outside the camp of Israel.

24. Urbem autem et omnia, quae erant in ea, succenderunt, absque argento et auro et vasis aeneis ac ferro, quae in aerarium domus Domini consecrarunt.

24. And they burned the city with fire, and all within it; only the silver and gold, and the vessels of bronze and of iron, they put into the treasury of the house of the LORD.

25. Rahab vero meretricem et domum patris eius et omnia, quae habebat, fecit Iosue vivere; et habitavit in medio Israel usque in praesentem diem, eo quod absconderit nuntios, quos miserat Iosue, ut explorarent Iericho. In tempore illo imprecatus est Iosue dicens:

25. But Rahab the harlot, and her father's household, and all who belonged to her, Joshua saved alive; and she dwelt in Israel to this day, because she hid the messengers whom Joshua sent to spy out Jericho.

26. “Maledictus vir coram Domino, qui suscitaverit et aedificaverit civitatem Iericho; in primogenito suo fundamenta illius faciet et in novissimo liberorum ponet portas eius”.

26. Joshua laid an oath upon them at that time, saying, "Cursed before the LORD be the man that rises up and rebuilds this city, Jericho. At the cost of his first-born shall he lay its foundation, and at the cost of his youngest son shall he set up its gates."

27. Fuit ergo Dominus cum Iosue, et nomen eius in omni terra vulgatum est.

27. So the LORD was with Joshua; and his fame was in all the land.
