Josuabogen 6 |
| 1992 | King James Version |
| 1 Jeriko var lukket og låst for israelitterne; ingen kunne gå ud eller komme ind. | 1 Now Jericho was straitly shut up because of the children of Israel: none went out, and none came in. |
| 2 Men Herren sagde til Josva: "Se, jeg giver Jeriko og dens konge i din hånd. | 2 And the LORD said unto Joshua, See, I have given into thine hand Jericho, and the king thereof, and the mighty men of valour. |
| 3 Nu skal alle I krigere i seks dage gå rundt om byen en gang om dagen. | 3 And ye shall compass the city, all ye men of war, and go round about the city once. Thus shalt thou do six days. |
| 4 Syv præster skal bære syv vædderhorn foran arken. Men den syvende dag skal I gå rundt om byen syv gange, og præsterne skal støde i hornene. | 4 And 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. |
| 5 Når vædderhornets lange tone lyder, og I hører lyden fra hornet, skal hele foLket udstøde et kampråb så højt, at byens mur falder sammen, og folket kan gå lige ind. | 5 And 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. |
| 6 Josva, Nuns søn, kaldte præsterne til sig og sagde til dem: "Løft pagtens ark op; syv præster skal bære syv vædderhorn foran Herrens ark." | 6 And 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. |
| 7 Til folket sagde han: "Gå så rundt om byen! De våbenføre skal gå foran Herrens ark." | 7 And 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. |
| 8 Da Josva havde talt til folket, gik de syv præster, der bar de syv vædderhorn foran Herren, frem og stødte i hornene, mens Herrens pagts ark fulgte efter dem; | 8 And 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. |
| 9 de våbenføre gik foran præsterne, der stødte i hornene, og bagtroppen fulgte efter arken, mens der blev stødt i hornene. | 9 And 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. |
| 10 Og Josvagav folket denne befaling: "I må ikke udstøde kampråb eller give lyd fra jer. Der må ikke lyde et ord, før den dag jeg giver jer ordre til at udstøde kampråbet; så skal I råbe!" | 10 And 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. |
| 11 Så lod han Herrens ark føre rundt om byen en gang. " Derpå gik de tilbage til lejren og overnattede der. | 11 So the ark of the LORD compassed the city, going about it once: and they came into the camp, and lodged in the camp. |
| 12 Tidligt næste morgen stod Josva op, og præsterne løftede Herrens ark op, | 12 And Joshua rose early in the morning, and the priests took up the ark of the LORD. |
| 13 og de syv præster, der bar de syv vædderhorn foran Herrens ark, stødte i hornene, mens de gik; de våbenføre gik foran dem, og bagtroppen fulgte efter Herrens ark, mens der blev stødt i hornene. | 13 And 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. |
| 14 De gik så én gang rundt om byen den anden dag og vendte tilbage til lejren. Det gjorde de seks dage. | 14 And the second day they compassed the city once, and returned into the camp: so they did six days. |
| 15 Den syvende dag, da det blev lyst, gik de rundt om byen på samme måde som før, syv gange; det var kun den dag, de gik syv gange rundt om byen. | 15 And 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. |
| 16 Den syvende gang stødte præsterne i hornene, og Josva sagde til folket: "Udstød kampråbet! Herren har givet jer byen! | 16 And 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. |
| 17 Der skal lægges band på byen; den og alt, hvad der er i den, skal tilhøre Herren. Kun skøgen Rahab og alle, der er i huset hos hende, skal blive i live, fordi hun skjulte de mænd, Vi sendte ud. | 17 And 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. |
| 18 Men hold jer fra det, der er lagt band på, så I ikke kommer til at begære det og tager noget af det, der er lagt band på, så I bringer bandet over Israels lejr og styrter Israel i ulykke. | 18 And 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. |
| 19 Alt sølv og guld og ting af bronze og jern skal helliges Herren. Det skal bringes til Herrens skatkammer." | 19 But 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. |
| 20 Folket udstødte kampråbet, da der blev stødt i hornene. Da folket hørte lyden fra hornene, udstødte de et kampråb så højt, at muren faldt sammen, og de kunne gå lige ind i byen og indtage den. | 20 So 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. |
| 21 Med sværdet lagde de band på alle, der var i byen, både mænd og kvinder, unge og gamle, okser, får og æsler. | 21 And 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. |
| 22 Men til de to mænd, der havde spioneret i landet, sagde Josva: "Gå ind i skøgens hus, og før kvinden og alle, der hører hende til, ud derfra, sådan som I tilsvor hende." | 22 But 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. |
| 23 Spionerne gik ind og førte Rahab ud sammen med hendes far og mor og brødre og alle, der hørte hende til; alle hendes slægtninge førte de ud og anbragte dem uden for Israels lejr. | 23 And 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. |
| 24 Men byen brændte de ned med alt, hvad der var i den; kun sølvet og guldet og tingene af bronze og jern lagde de i skatkammeret i Herrens tempel. | 24 And 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. |
| 25 Men skøgen Rahab og hendes fars slægt og alle, der hørte hende til, lod Josva blive i live. Hun kom til at bo blandt israelitterne og gør det den dag i dag, fordi hun skjulte de mænd, Josva havde sendt ud for at udspionere Jeriko. | 25 And 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. |
| 26 Dengang udtalte Josva denne forbandelse: "Forbandet af Herren,være den mand, der går i gang med at genopbygge denne by, Jeriko. Det skal koste ham hans førstefødte søn at lægge grunden og hans yngste søn at sætte porten i." | 26 And 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. |
| 27 Herren var med Josva, og rygtet om ham nåede ud over hele landet. | 27 So the LORD was with Joshua; and his fame was noised throughout all the country. |
