約書亞記 6
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1耶利哥 的城門因 以色列 人就關得嚴緊，無人出入。
1Now Jericho was close shut up and fenced, for fear of the children of Israel, and no man durst go out or come 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 Josue: Behold I have given into thy hands Jericho, and the king thereof, and all the valiant men.
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。
3Go round about the city, all ye fighting men, once a day: so shall ye do 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。
4And on the seventh day the priests shall take the seven trumpets, which are used in the jubilee, and shall go before the ark of the covenant: and you shall go about the city seven times, and the priests shall sound the trumpets.
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 the voice of the trumpet shall give a longer and broken tune, and shall sound in your ears, all the people shall shout together with a very great shout, and the walls of the city shall fall to the ground, and they shall enter in every one at the place against which they shall stand.
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」；
6Then Josue the son of Nun called the priests, and said to them: Take the ark of the covenant: and let seven other priests take the seven trumpets of the jubilee, and march before 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 said to the people: Go, and compass the city, armed, marching before 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。
8And when Josue had ended his words, and the seven priests blew the seven trumpets before the ark of the covenant of the Lord,
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。
9And all the armed men went before, the rest of the common people followed the ark, and the sound of the trumpets was heard on all sides.
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 Josue had commanded the people, saying: You shall not shout, nor shall your voice be heard, nor any word go out of your mouth: until the day come wherein I shall say to you: Cry, and 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 the ark of the Lord went about the city once a day, and returning into the camp, abode there.
12約書亞 清早起來，祭司又抬起耶和華的 約 櫃。
12And Josue rising before day, 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 seven of them seven trumpets, which are used in the jubilee: and they went before the ark of the Lord walking and sounding the trumpets: and the armed men went before them, and the rest of the common people followed the ark, and they blew the trumpets.
14第二日，眾人把城繞了一次，就回營裏去。六日都是這樣行。
14And they went round about the city the second day once, and returned into the camp. So they did 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。
15But the seventh day, rising up early, they went about the city, as it was ordered, 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！
16And when in the seventh going about the priests sounded with the trumpets, Josue said to all Israel: Shout: for the Lord hath delivered the city to you:
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。
17And let this city be an anathema, and all things that are in it, to the Lord. Let only Rahab the harlot live, with all that are with her in the house: for she hid the messengers whom 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 beware ye lest you touch ought of those things that are forbidden, and you be guilty of transgression, and all the camp of Israel be under sin, and be troubled.
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。」
19But whatsoever gold or silver there shall be, or vessels of brass and iron, let it be consecrated to the Lord, laid up in his treasures.
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 all the people making a shout, and the trumpets sounding, when the voice and the sound thundered in the ears of the multitude, the walls forthwith fell down: and every man went up by the place that was over against him: and they took the city,
21又將城中所有的，不拘男女老少，牛羊和驢，都用刀殺盡。
21And killed all that were in it, man and woman, young and old. The oxen also and the sheep, and the asses, they slew with the edge of the sword.
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。」
22But Josue said to the two men that had been sent for spies: Go into the harlot’s house, and bring her out, and all things that are hers, as you assured her by oath.
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。
23And the young men went in and brought out Rahab, and her parents, her brethren also and all her goods and her kindred, and made them to stay without the camp.
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。
24But they burned the city, and all things that were therein; except the gold and silver, and vessels of brass and iron, which they consecrated into the treasury of the Lord.
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。
25But Josue saved Rahab the harlot and her father’s house, and all she had, and they dwelt in the midst of Israel until this present day: because she hid the messengers whom he had sent to spy out Jericho. At that time, Josue made an imprecation, saying:
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。」
26Cursed be the man before the Lord, that shall raise up and build the city of Jericho. In his firstborn may he lay the foundation thereof, and in the last of his children set up its gates.
27耶和華與 約書亞 同在， 約書亞 的聲名傳揚遍地。
27And the Lord was with Josue, and his name was noised throughout all the land.
