Joshua 6
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1Now Jericho was straitly shut up because of the children of Israel: none went out, and none came in. —
1耶利哥 的城門因 以色列 人就關得嚴緊，無人出入。
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。
3And ye shall compass the city, all the men of war, going about the city once. Thus shalt thou do six days.
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。
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。
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。」
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」；
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又對百姓說：「你們前去繞城，帶兵器的要走在耶和華的 約 櫃前。」
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。
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。
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。」
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。
12And Joshua rose early in the morning, and the priests took up the ark of the LORD.
12約書亞 清早起來，祭司又抬起耶和華的 約 櫃。
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。
14And the second day they compassed the city once, and returned into the camp; so they did six days.
14第二日，眾人把城繞了一次，就回營裏去。六日都是這樣行。
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，黎明的時候，他們起來，照樣繞城七次；惟獨這日把城繞了七次。
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！
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。
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。
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、銀子，和銅鐵的器皿都要歸耶和華為聖，必入耶和華的庫中。」
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；
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又將城中所有的，不拘男女老少，牛羊和驢，都用刀殺盡。
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。」
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。
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。
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。
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。」
27So the LORD was with Joshua; and his fame was in all the land.
27耶和華與 約書亞 同在， 約書亞 的聲名傳揚遍地。
