約書亞記 6
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
Berean Standard Bible
1耶利哥 的城門因 以色列 人就關得嚴緊，無人出入。
1Now Jericho was tightly shut up because of the Israelites. No one went out and no one came in.
2耶和華曉諭 約書亞 說：「看哪，我已經把 耶利哥 和 耶利哥 的王，並大能的勇士，都交在你手中。
2And the LORD said to Joshua, “Behold, I have delivered Jericho into your hand, along with its king and its mighty men of valor.
3你們的一切兵丁要圍繞這城， 一日 圍繞一次，六日都要這樣行。
3March around the city with all the men of war, circling the city one time. Do this for six days.
4七個祭司要拿七個羊角走在 約 櫃前。到第七日，你們要繞城七次，祭司也要吹角。
4Have seven priests carry seven rams’ horns in front of the ark. Then on the seventh day, march around the city seven times, while the priests blow the horns.
5他們吹的角聲拖長，你們聽見角聲，眾百姓要大聲呼喊，城牆就必塌陷，各人都要往前直上。」
5And when there is a long blast of the ram’s horn and you hear its sound, have all the people give a mighty shout. Then the wall of the city will collapse and all your people will charge straight into the city.”
6嫩 的兒子 約書亞 召了祭司來，吩咐他們說：「你們抬起約櫃來，要有七個祭司拿七個羊角走在耶和華的 約 櫃前」；
6So Joshua son of Nun summoned the priests and said, “Take up the ark of the covenant and have seven priests carry seven rams’ horns in front of the ark of the LORD.”
7又對百姓說：「你們前去繞城，帶兵器的要走在耶和華的 約 櫃前。」
7And he told the people, “Advance and march around the city, with the armed troops going ahead of the ark of the LORD.”
8約書亞 對百姓說完了話，七個祭司拿七個羊角走在耶和華面前吹角；耶和華的約櫃在他們後面跟隨。
8After Joshua had spoken to the people, seven priests carrying seven rams’ horns before the LORD advanced and blew the horns, and the ark of the covenant of the LORD followed them.
9帶兵器的走在吹角的祭司前面，後隊隨着 約 櫃行。 祭司 一面走一面吹。
9While the horns continued to sound, the armed troops marched ahead of the priests who blew the horns, and the rear guard followed the ark.
10約書亞 吩咐百姓說：「你們不可呼喊，不可出聲，連一句話也不可出你們的口，等到我吩咐你們呼喊的日子，那時才可以呼喊。」
10But Joshua had commanded the people: “Do not give a battle cry or let your voice be heard; do not let one word come out of your mouth until the day I tell you to shout. Then you are to shout!”
11這樣，他使耶和華的 約 櫃繞城，把城繞了一次；眾人回到營裏，就在營裏住宿。
11So he had the ark of the LORD carried around the city, circling it once. And the people returned to the camp and spent the night there.
12約書亞 清早起來，祭司又抬起耶和華的 約 櫃。
12Joshua got up early the next morning, and the priests took the ark of the LORD.
13七個祭司拿七個羊角在耶和華的 約 櫃前，時常行走吹角；帶兵器的在他們前面走，後隊隨着耶和華的 約 櫃行。 祭司 一面走一面吹。
13And the seven priests carrying seven rams’ horns kept marching ahead of the ark of the LORD and blowing the horns. The armed troops went in front of them and the rear guard followed the ark of the LORD, while the horns kept sounding.
14第二日，眾人把城繞了一次，就回營裏去。六日都是這樣行。
14So on the second day they marched around the city once and returned to the camp. They did this for six days.
15第七日清早，黎明的時候，他們起來，照樣繞城七次；惟獨這日把城繞了七次。
15Then on the seventh day, they got up at dawn and marched around the city seven times in the same manner. That was the only day they circled the city seven times.
16到了第七次，祭司吹角的時候， 約書亞 吩咐百姓說：「呼喊吧，因為耶和華已經把城交給你們了！
16After the seventh time around, the priests blew the horns, and Joshua commanded the people, “Shout! For the LORD has given you the city!
17這城和其中所有的都要在耶和華面前毀滅；只有妓女 喇合 與她家中所有的可以存活，因為她隱藏了我們所打發的使者。
17Now the city and everything in it must be devoted to the LORD for destruction. Only Rahab the prostitute and all those with her in her house will live, because she hid the spies we sent.
18至於你們，務要謹慎，不可取那當滅的物，恐怕你們取了那當滅的物就連累 以色列 的全營，使全營受咒詛。
18But keep away from the things devoted to destruction, lest you yourself be set apart for destruction. If you take any of these, you will set apart the camp of Israel for destruction and bring disaster upon it.
19惟有金子、銀子，和銅鐵的器皿都要歸耶和華為聖，必入耶和華的庫中。」
19For all the silver and gold and all the articles of bronze and iron are holy to the LORD; they must go into His treasury.”
20於是百姓呼喊， 祭司 也吹角。百姓聽見角聲，便大聲呼喊，城牆就塌陷，百姓便上去進城，各人往前直上，將城奪取；
20So when the rams’ horns sounded, the people shouted. When they heard the blast of the horn, the people gave a great shout, and the wall collapsed. Then all the people charged straight into the city and captured it.
21又將城中所有的，不拘男女老少，牛羊和驢，都用刀殺盡。
21At the edge of the sword they devoted to destruction everything in the city—man and woman, young and old, oxen, sheep, and donkeys.
22約書亞 吩咐窺探地的兩個人說：「你們進那妓女的家，照着你們向她所起的誓，將那女人和她所有的都從那裏帶出來。」
22Meanwhile, Joshua told the two men who had spied out the land, “Go into the house of the prostitute and bring out the woman and all who are with her, just as you promised her.”
23當探子的兩個少年人就進去，將 喇合 與她的父母、弟兄，和她所有的，並她一切的親眷，都帶出來，安置在 以色列 的營外。
23So the young spies went in and brought out Rahab, her father and mother and brothers, and all who belonged to her. They brought out her whole family and settled them outside the camp of Israel.
24眾人就用火將城和其中所有的焚燒了；惟有金子、銀子，和銅鐵的器皿都放在耶和華殿的庫中。
24Then the Israelites burned up the city and everything in it. However, they put the silver and gold and articles of bronze and iron into the treasury of the LORD’s house.
25約書亞 卻把妓女 喇合 與她父家，並她所有的，都救活了；因為她隱藏了 約書亞 所打發窺探 耶利哥 的使者，她就住在 以色列 中，直到今日。
25And Joshua spared Rahab the prostitute, with her father’s household and all who belonged to her, because she hid the men Joshua had sent to spy out Jericho. So she has lived among the Israelites to this day.
26當時， 約書亞 叫眾人起誓說：「有興起重修這 耶利哥 城的人，當在耶和華面前受咒詛。 他立根基的時候，必喪長子， 安門的時候，必喪幼子。」
26At that time Joshua invoked this solemn oath: “Cursed before the LORD is the man who rises up and rebuilds this city, Jericho; at the cost of his firstborn he will lay its foundations; at the cost of his youngest he will set up its gates.”
27耶和華與 約書亞 同在， 約書亞 的聲名傳揚遍地。
27So the LORD was with Joshua, and his fame spread throughout the land.
