Josué 6
Grunewald-Ubersetzung
1Jericho aber war eine Sperrfestung. Nun wurde es von den Israeliten eingeschlossen. Und niemand konnte aus noch ein.
2Da sprach der Herr zu Josue: "Jetzt gebe ich Jericho in deine Hand nebst seinem König und den Kriegern.
3Zieht um die Stadt, ihr Streiter all! Zieht einmal um die Stadt! So sollst du sechs Tage tun.
4Und sieben Priester sollen sieben Lärmhörner vor der Lade tragen! Am siebten Tage sollt ihr siebenmal um die Stadt ziehen, und die Priester sollen in die Hörner stoßen!
5Wenn das Lärmhorn anhaltend ertönt und wenn ihr den Hörnerschall hört, dann soll das ganze Volk ein gewaltiges Geschrei erheben! Dann stürzt die Stadtmauer in sich zusammen, und das Volk kann einziehen, jeder, wo er steht."
6Josue, Nuns Sohn, berief nun die Priester und sprach zu ihnen: "Tragt die Bundeslade! Sieben Priester sollen sieben Lärmhörner vor des Herrn Lade tragen!"
7Und sie sprachen zum Volke: "Zieht rings um die Stadt! Die Vorhut soll vor des Herrn Lade herziehen!"
8Es geschah, wie Josue zum Volke gesagt hatte. Die sieben Priester, die die sieben Lärmhörner vor dem Herrn trugen, zogen einher und stießen in die Hörner, und die Bundeslade des Herrn kam hinter ihnen.
9Die Vorhut aber ging vor den in die Hörner stoßenden Priestern, und die Nachhut ging hinter der Lade, fort und fort in die Hörner stoßend.
10Dem Volke aber gebot Josue: "Ihr sollt nicht lärmen und eure Stimme nicht hören lassen! Kein Laut soll aus eurem Mund kommen, bis ich euch sage: 'Schreit!' Dann erhebt das Kriegsgeschrei!"
11So ließ er die Lade des Herrn einmal rings um die Stadt gehen. Dann gingen sie ins Lager und nächtigten im Lager.
12Josue aber stand früh am Morgen auf; da nahmen die Priester die Lade des Herrn.
13Die sieben Priester, die Träger der sieben Lärmhörner vor des Herrn Lade, zogen hin und stießen fort und fort in die Hörner. Die Vorhut ging vor ihnen her, und die Nachhut folgte der Lade des Herrn, fort und fort in die Hörner stoßend.
14Sie zogen auch am zweiten Tage einmal um die Stadt und kehrten dann ins Lager zurück. So taten sie sechs Tage.
15Am siebten Tage aber erhoben sie sich bei Anbruch der Morgenröte und zogen nach dieser Ordnung siebenmal um die Stadt. Nur an diesem Tage umzogen sie siebenmal die Stadt.
16Beim siebtenmal stießen die Priester in die Hörner, und Josue rief dem Volke zu: "Macht ein Geschrei! Denn der Herr gibt die Stadt in eure Hand.
17Die Stadt aber und alles, was darin ist, sei dem Herrn gebannt! Nur die Wirtin Rachab soll am Leben bleiben nebst allen, die bei ihr im Hause sind! Denn sie hat die Boten versteckt, die wir gesandt.
18Hütet euch aber vor dem Banngut, daß ihr es nicht verschiebt und von dem Banngut nehmt! Ihr brächtet damit das Lager Israels in den Bann und stürztet es ins Unglück.
19Alles Silber und Gold, alles eherne und eiserne Gerät sei dem Herrn geweiht! In den Schatz des Herrn soll es kommen!"
20Da erhob das Volk ein Geschrei, und sie stießen in die Hörner. Als das Volk nämlich den Hörnerschall vernahm, erhob das Volk ein gewaltiges Geschrei. Da stürzte die Mauer in sich zusammen. Und das Volk zog in die Stadt, wo jeder gerade stand. So nahmen sie die Stadt ein.
21Und sie bannten alles in der Stadt, Mann und Weib, jung und alt, Rinder, Schafe und Esel mit des Schwertes Schärfe.
22Den beiden Männern aber, die die Gegend erforscht hatten, hatte Josue gesagt: "Geht in das Haus jener Wirtin und holt das Weib mit all den Seinigen von da heraus, wie ihr ihr geschworen habt!"
23Da gingen die jungen Männer, die Kundschafter, hin und führten Rachab, ihren Vater, ihre Mutter, ihre Brüder und all die Ihrigen heraus. Ihre ganze Sippe führten sie heraus; dann brachten sie diese außerhalb des Lagers Israels.
24Die Stadt aber und alles, was darin, steckten sie in Brand. Nur das Silber und Gold, die ehernen und eisernen Geräte gaben sie in den Schatz des Herrn.
25Die Wirtin Rachab aber, ihr Vaterhaus und all die Ihrigen hatte Josue leben lassen. Und so blieb sie unter den Israeliten bis auf diesen Tag, weil sie die Boten versteckt hatte, die Josue gesandt, Jericho auszuspähen.
26Zu jener Zeit aber sprach Josue den Fluch aus: "Verflucht sei vor dem Herrn der Mann, der es wagt, diese Stadt Jericho wiederaufzubauen! Auf seinen Erstgeborenen soll er sie gründen und auf seinen Jüngsten ihre Pforten setzen!"
27Und der Herr war mit Josue, und sein Ruf ging durch das ganze Land.
Reina-Valera 1909
1EMPERO Jericó estaba cerrada, bien cerrada, á causa de los hijos de Israel: nadie entraba, ni salía.
2Mas Jehová dijo á Josué: Mira, yo he entregado en tu mano á Jericó y á su rey, con sus varones de guerra.
3Cercaréis pues la ciudad todos los hombres de guerra, yendo alrededor de la ciudad una vez: y esto haréis seis días.
4Y siete sacerdotes llevarán siete bocinas de cuernos de carneros delante del arca; y al séptimo día daréis siete vueltas á la ciudad, y los sacerdotes tocarán las bocinas.
5Y cuando tocaren prolongadamente el cuerno de carnero, así que oyereis el sonido de la bocina, todo el pueblo gritará á gran voz, y el muro de la ciudad caerá debajo de sí: entonces el pueblo subirá cada uno en derecho de sí.
6Y llamando Josué hijo de Nun á los sacerdotes, les dijo: Llevad el arca del pacto, y siete sacerdotes lleven bocinas de cuernos de carneros delante del arca de Jehová.
7Y dijo al pueblo: Pasad, y rodead la ciudad; y los que están armados pasarán delante del arca de Jehová.
8Y así que Josué hubo hablado al pueblo, los siete sacerdotes, llevando las siete bocinas de cuernos de carneros, pasaron delante del arca de Jehová, y tocaron las bocinas: y el arca del pacto de Jehová los seguía.
9Y los armados iban delante de los sacerdotes que tocaban las bocinas, y la gente reunida iba detrás del arca, andando y tocando bocinas.
10Y Josué mandó al pueblo, diciendo: Vosotros no daréis grita, ni se oirá vuestra voz, ni saldrá palabra de vuestra boca, hasta el día que yo os diga: Gritad: entonces daréis grita.
11El arca pues de Jehová dió una vuelta alrededor de la ciudad, y viniéronse al real, en el cual tuvieron la noche.
12Y Josué se levantó de mañana, y los sacerdotes tomaron el arca de Jehová.
13Y los siete sacerdotes, llevando las siete bocinas de cuernos de carneros, fueron delante del arca de Jehová, andando siempre y tocando las bocinas; y los armados iban delante de ellos, y la gente reunida iba detrás del arca de Jehová, andando y tocando las bocinas.
14Así dieron otra vuelta á la ciudad el segundo día, y volviéronse al real: de esta manera hicieron por seis días.
15Y al séptimo día levantáronse cuando subía el alba, y dieron vuelta á la ciudad de la misma manera siete veces: solamente este día dieron vuelta alrededor de ella siete veces.
16Y como los sacerdotes hubieron tocado las bocinas la séptima vez, Josué dijo al pueblo: Dad grita, porque Jehová os ha entregado la ciudad.
17Mas la ciudad será anatema á Jehová, ella con todas las cosas que están en ella: solamente Rahab la ramera vivirá, con todos los que estuvieren en casa con ella, por cuanto escondió los mensajeros que enviamos.
18Empero guardaos vosotros del anatema, que ni toquéis, ni toméis alguna cosa del anatema, porque no hagáis anatema el campo de Israel, y lo turbéis.
19Mas toda la plata, y el oro, y vasos de metal y de hierro, sea consagrado á Jehová, y venga al tesoro de Jehová.
20Entonces el pueblo dió grita, y los sacerdotes tocaron las bocinas: y aconteció que como el pueblo hubo oído el sonido de la bocina, dió el pueblo grita con gran vocerío, y el muro cayó á plomo. El pueblo subió luego á la ciudad, cada uno en derecho de sí, y tomáronla.
21Y destruyeron todo lo que en la ciudad había; hombres y mujeres, mozos y viejos, hasta los bueyes, y ovejas, y asnos, á filo de espada.
22Mas Josué dijo á los dos hombres que habían reconocido la tierra: Entrad en casa de la mujer ramera, y haced salir de allá á la mujer, y á todo lo que fuere suyo, como lo jurasteis.
23Y los mancebos espías entraron, y sacaron á Rahab, y á su padre, y á su madre, y á sus hermanos, y todo lo que era suyo; y también sacaron á toda su parentela, y pusiéronlos fuera del campo de Israel.
24Y consumieron con fuego la ciudad, y todo lo que en ella había: solamente pusieron en el tesoro de la casa de Jehová la plata, y el oro, y los vasos de metal y de hierro.
25Mas Josué salvó la vida á Rahab la ramera, y á la casa de su padre, y á todo lo que ella tenía: y habitó ella entre los Israelitas hasta hoy; por cuanto escondió los mensajeros que Josué envió á reconocer á Jericó.
26Y en aquel tiempo Josué les juramentó diciendo: Maldito delante de Jehová el hombre que se levantare y reedificare esta ciudad de Jericó. En su primogénito eche sus cimientos, y en su menor asiente sus puertas.
27Fué pues Jehová con Josué, y su nombre se divulgó por toda la tierra.
King James Version
1Now Jericho was straitly shut up because of the children of Israel: none went out, and none came in.
2And the LORD said unto Joshua, See, I have given into thine hand Jericho, and the king thereof, and the mighty men of valour.
3And ye shall compass the city, all ye men of war, and go round about the city once. Thus shalt thou do six days.
4And seven priests shall bear before the ark seven trumpets of rams’ horns: and the seventh day ye shall compass the city seven times, and the priests shall blow with the trumpets.
5And it shall come to pass, that when they make a long blast with the ram’s horn, and when ye hear the sound of the trumpet, all the people shall shout with a great shout; and the wall of the city shall fall down flat, and the people shall ascend up every man straight before him.
6And Joshua the son of Nun called the priests, and said unto them, Take up the ark of the covenant, and let seven priests bear seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the ark of the LORD.
7And he said unto the people, Pass on, and compass the city, and let him that is armed pass on before the ark of the LORD.
8And it came to pass, when Joshua had spoken unto the people, that the seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams’ horns passed on before the LORD, and blew with the trumpets: and the ark of the covenant of the LORD followed them.
9And the armed men went before the priests that blew with the trumpets, and the rereward came after the ark, the priests going on, and blowing with the trumpets.
10And Joshua had commanded the people, saying, Ye shall not shout, nor make any noise with your voice, neither shall any word proceed out of your mouth, until the day I bid you shout; then shall ye shout.
11So the ark of the LORD compassed the city, going about it once: and they came into the camp, and lodged in the camp.
12And Joshua rose early in the morning, and the priests took up the ark of the LORD.
13And 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 rereward came after the ark of the LORD, the priests going on, and blowing with the trumpets.
14And the second day they compassed the city once, and returned into the camp: so they did six days.
15And it came to pass on the seventh day, that they rose early about the dawning of the day, and compassed the city after the same manner seven times: only on that day they compassed the city seven times.
16And it came to pass at the seventh time, when the priests blew with the trumpets, Joshua said unto the people, Shout; for the LORD hath given you the city.
17And the city shall be accursed, even it, and all that are therein, to the LORD: only Rahab the harlot shall live, she and all that are with her in the house, because she hid the messengers that we sent.
18And ye, in any wise keep yourselves from the accursed thing, lest ye make yourselves accursed, when ye take of the accursed thing, and make the camp of Israel a curse, and trouble it.
19But all the silver, and gold, and vessels of brass and iron, are consecrated unto the LORD: they shall come into the treasury of the LORD.
20So the people shouted when the priests blew with the trumpets: and it came to pass, when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, and the people shouted with a great shout, that the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they took the city.
21And they utterly destroyed all that was in the city, both man and woman, young and old, and ox, and sheep, and ass, with the edge of the sword.
22But Joshua had said unto the two men that had spied out the country, Go into the harlot’s house, and bring out thence the woman, and all that she hath, as ye sware unto her.
23And the young men that were spies went in, and brought out Rahab, and her father, and her mother, and her brethren, and all that she had; and they brought out all her kindred, and left them without the camp of Israel.
24And they burnt the city with fire, and all that was therein: only the silver, and the gold, and the vessels of brass and of iron, they put into the treasury of the house of the LORD.
25And Joshua saved Rahab the harlot alive, and her father’s household, and all that she had; and she dwelleth in Israel even unto this day; because she hid the messengers, which Joshua sent to spy out Jericho.
26And Joshua adjured them at that time, saying, Cursed be the man before the LORD, that riseth up and buildeth this city Jericho: he shall lay the foundation thereof in his firstborn, and in his youngest son shall he set up the gates of it.
27So the LORD was with Joshua; and his fame was noised throughout all the country.
World English Bible
1Now Jericho was tightly shut up because of the children of Israel. No one went out, and no one came in.
2The LORD said to Joshua, “Behold, I have given Jericho into your hand, with its king and the mighty men of valor.
3All of your men of war shall march around the city, going around the city once. You shall do this six days.
4Seven priests shall bear seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the ark. On the seventh day, you shall march around the city seven times, and the priests shall blow the trumpets.
5It shall be that when they make a long blast with the ram’s horn, and when you hear the sound of the trumpet, all the people shall shout with a great shout; then the city wall will fall down flat, and the people shall go up, every man straight in front of him.”
6Joshua 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 LORD’s ark.”
7They said to the people, “Advance! March around the city, and let the armed men pass on before the LORD’s ark.”
8It was so, that when Joshua had spoken to the people, the seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the LORD advanced and blew the trumpets, and the ark of the LORD’s covenant followed them.
9The armed men went before the priests who blew the trumpets, and the ark went after them. The trumpets sounded as they went.
10Joshua commanded the people, saying, “You shall not shout nor let your voice be heard, neither shall any word proceed out of your mouth until the day I tell you to shout. Then you shall shout.”
11So he caused the LORD’s ark to go around the city, circling it once. Then they came into the camp, and stayed in the camp.
12Joshua rose early in the morning, and the priests took up the LORD’s ark.
13The seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams’ horns in front of the LORD’s ark went on continually, and blew the trumpets. The armed men went in front of them. The rear guard came after the LORD’s ark. The trumpets sounded as they went.
14The second day they marched around the city once, and returned into the camp. They did this six days.
15On the seventh day, they rose early at the dawning of the day, and marched around the city in the same way seven times. On this day only they marched around the city seven times.
16At the seventh time, when the priests blew the trumpets, Joshua said to the people, “Shout, for the LORD has given you the city!
17The city shall be devoted, even it and all that is in it, to the LORD. Only Rahab the prostitute shall live, she and all who are with her in the house, because she hid the messengers that we sent.
18But as for you, only keep yourselves from what is devoted to destruction, lest when you have devoted it, you take of the devoted thing; so you would make the camp of Israel accursed and trouble it.
19But all the silver, gold, and vessels of bronze and iron are holy to the LORD. They shall come into the LORD’s treasury.”
20So the people shouted and the priests blew the trumpets. When the people heard the sound of the trumpet, the people shouted with a great shout, and the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man straight in front of him, and they took the city.
21They utterly destroyed all that was in the city, both man and woman, both young and old, and ox, sheep, and donkey, with the edge of the sword.
22Joshua said to the two men who had spied out the land, “Go into the prostitute’s house, and bring the woman and all that she has out from there, as you swore to her.”
23The young men who were spies went in, and brought out Rahab with her father, her mother, her brothers, and all that she had. They also brought out all of her relatives, and they set them outside of the camp of Israel.
24They burned the city with fire, and all that was in it. Only they put the silver, the gold, and the vessels of bronze and of iron into the treasury of the LORD’s house.
25But Rahab the prostitute, her father’s household, and all that she had, Joshua saved alive. She lives in the middle of Israel to this day, because she hid the messengers whom Joshua sent to spy out Jericho.
26Joshua commanded them with an oath at that time, saying, “Cursed is the man before the LORD who rises up and builds this city Jericho. With the loss of his firstborn he will lay its foundation, and with the loss of his youngest son he will set up its gates.”
27So the LORD was with Joshua; and his fame was in all the land.
