Joshua 6
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Simplified)
1Now Jericho was straitly shut up because of the children of Israel: none went out, and none came in. —
1耶利哥 的城门因 以色列 人就关得严紧,无人出入。
2And the LORD said unto Joshua: 'See, I have given into thy hand Jericho, and the king thereof, even the mighty men of valour.
2耶和华晓谕 约书亚 说:「看哪,我已经把 耶利哥 和 耶利哥 的王,并大能的勇士,都交在你手中。
3And ye shall compass the city, all the men of war, going about the city once. Thus shalt thou do six days.
3你们的一切兵丁要围绕这城, 一日 围绕一次,六日都要这样行。
4And seven priests shall bear seven rams' horns before the ark; and the seventh day ye shall compass the city seven times, and the priests shall blow with the horns.
4七个祭司要拿七个羊角走在 约 柜前。到第七日,你们要绕城七次,祭司也要吹角。
5And it shall be, that when they make a long blast with the ram's horn, and when ye hear the sound of the horn, all the people shall shout with a great shout; and the wall of the city shall fall down flat, and the people shall go up every man straight before him.'
5他们吹的角声拖长,你们听见角声,众百姓要大声呼喊,城墙就必塌陷,各人都要往前直上。」
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 rams' horns before the ark of the LORD.'
6嫩 的儿子 约书亚 召了祭司来,吩咐他们说:「你们抬起约柜来,要有七个祭司拿七个羊角走在耶和华的 约 柜前」;
7And he said unto the people: 'Pass on, and compass the city, and let the armed body pass on before the ark of the LORD.'
7又对百姓说:「你们前去绕城,带兵器的要走在耶和华的 约 柜前。」
8And it was so, that when Joshua had spoken unto the people, the seven priests bearing the seven rams' horns before the LORD passed on, and blew with the horns; and the ark of the covenant of the LORD followed them.
8约书亚 对百姓说完了话,七个祭司拿七个羊角走在耶和华面前吹角;耶和华的约柜在他们后面跟随。
9And the armed men went before the priests that blew the horns, and the rearward went after the ark, the priests blowing with the horns continually.
9带兵器的走在吹角的祭司前面,后队随着 约 柜行。 祭司 一面走一面吹。
10And Joshua commanded the people, saying: 'Ye shall not shout, nor let your voice be heard, neither shall any word proceed out of your mouth, until the day I bid you shout; then shall ye shout.'
10约书亚 吩咐百姓说:「你们不可呼喊,不可出声,连一句话也不可出你们的口,等到我吩咐你们呼喊的日子,那时才可以呼喊。」
11So he caused the ark of the LORD to compass the city, going about it once; and they came into the camp, and lodged in the camp.
11这样,他使耶和华的 约 柜绕城,把城绕了一次;众人回到营里,就在营里住宿。
12And Joshua rose early in the morning, and the priests took up the ark of the LORD.
12约书亚 清早起来,祭司又抬起耶和华的 约 柜。
13And the seven priests bearing the seven rams' horns before the ark of the LORD went on continually, and blew with the horns; and the armed men went before them; and the rearward came after the ark of the LORD, the priests blowing with the horns continually.
13七个祭司拿七个羊角在耶和华的 约 柜前,时常行走吹角;带兵器的在他们前面走,后队随着耶和华的 约 柜行。 祭司 一面走一面吹。
14And the second day they compassed the city once, and returned into the camp; so they did six days.
14第二日,众人把城绕了一次,就回营里去。六日都是这样行。
15And it came to pass on the seventh day, that they rose early at 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.
15第七日清早,黎明的时候,他们起来,照样绕城七次;惟独这日把城绕了七次。
16And it came to pass at the seventh time, when the priests blew with the horns, that Joshua said unto the people: 'Shout; for the LORD hath given you the city.
16到了第七次,祭司吹角的时候, 约书亚 吩咐百姓说:「呼喊吧,因为耶和华已经把城交给你们了!
17And the city shall be devoted, even it and all that is 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.
17这城和其中所有的都要在耶和华面前毁灭;只有妓女 喇合 与她家中所有的可以存活,因为她隐藏了我们所打发的使者。
18And ye, in any wise keep yourselves from the devoted thing, lest ye make yourselves accursed by taking of the devoted thing, so should ye make the camp of Israel accursed, and trouble it.
18至于你们,务要谨慎,不可取那当灭的物,恐怕你们取了那当灭的物就连累 以色列 的全营,使全营受咒诅。
19But all the silver, and gold, and vessels of brass and iron, are holy unto the LORD; they shall come into the treasury of the LORD.'
19惟有金子、银子,和铜铁的器皿都要归耶和华为圣,必入耶和华的库中。」
20So the people shouted, and the priests blew with the horns. And it came to pass, when the people heard the sound of the horn, that 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 before him, and they took the city.
20于是百姓呼喊, 祭司 也吹角。百姓听见角声,便大声呼喊,城墙就塌陷,百姓便上去进城,各人往前直上,将城夺取;
21And they utterly destroyed all that was in the city, both man and woman, both young and old, and ox, and sheep, and ass, with the edge of the sword.
21又将城中所有的,不拘男女老少,牛羊和驴,都用刀杀尽。
22And Joshua said unto the two men that had spied out the land: 'Go into the harlot's house, and bring out thence the woman, and all that she hath, as ye swore unto her.'
22约书亚 吩咐窥探地的两个人说:「你们进那妓女的家,照着你们向她所起的誓,将那女人和她所有的都从那里带出来。」
23And the young men the spies went in, and brought out Rahab, and her father, and her mother, and her brethren, and all that she had, all her kindred also they brought out; and they set them without the camp of Israel.
23当探子的两个少年人就进去,将 喇合 与她的父母、弟兄,和她所有的,并她一切的亲眷,都带出来,安置在 以色列 的营外。
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.
24众人就用火将城和其中所有的焚烧了;惟有金子、银子,和铜铁的器皿都放在耶和华殿的库中。
25But Rahab the harlot, and her father's household, and all that she had, did Joshua save alive; and she dwelt in the midst of Israel, unto this day; because she hid the messengers, whom Joshua sent to spy out Jericho.
25约书亚 却把妓女 喇合 与她父家,并她所有的,都救活了;因为她隐藏了 约书亚 所打发窥探 耶利哥 的使者,她就住在 以色列 中,直到今日。
26And Joshua charged the people with an oath at that time, saying: 'Cursed be the man before the LORD, that riseth up and buildeth this city, even Jericho; with the loss of his first-born shall he lay the foundation thereof, and with the loss of his youngest son shall he set up the gates of it.'
26当时, 约书亚 叫众人起誓说:「有兴起重修这 耶利哥 城的人,当在耶和华面前受咒诅。 他立根基的时候,必丧长子, 安门的时候,必丧幼子。」
27So the LORD was with Joshua; and his fame was in all the land.
27耶和华与 约书亚 同在, 约书亚 的声名传扬遍地。
