Jozueu 6
Albanian Bible
6 Jeriko ishte i mbyllur dhe i mbrojtur mirë nga frika e bijve të Izraelit; askush nuk dilte dhe askush nuk hynte në të.
2 Zoti i tha Jozueut: "Shiko, unë të kam dhënë në dorë Jerikon, mbretin e tij dhe luftëtarët e tij trima.
3 Ju të gjithë, luftëtarët, do të marshoni rreth qytetit, do të silleni një herë rreth tij. Kështu do të bëni gjashtë ditë me radhë.
4 Shtatë priftërinj do të çojnë përpara arkës shtatë bori prej briri të dashit; por ditën e shtatë do të silleni rreth qytetit shtatë herë dhe priftërinjtë do t’u bien borive.
5 Kur ata t’u bien pa pushim brirëve të dashit dhe ju të dëgjoni zërin e borisë, tërë populli do të bëjë një ulurimë të madhe; atëherë muret e qytetit do të shemben dhe populli do të ngjitet, gjithsekush drejt, përpara.
6 Kështu Jozueu, bir i Nunit, thirri priftërinjtë dhe u tha atyre: "Merrni arkën e besëlidhjes dhe shtatë priftërinj të mbajnë shtatë bori prej briri të dashit përpara arkës së Zotit".
7 Pastaj i tha popullit: "Shkoni përpara dhe marshoni rreth qytetit, njerëzit e armatosur të ecin përpara arkës së Zotit".
8 Kështu, kur Jozueu mbaroi së foluri popullit, shtatë priftërinjtë që mbanin shtatë bori prej briri të dashit përpara Zotit nisën të marshojnë dhe u ranë borive; dhe arka e besëlidhjes së Zotit i ndiqte nga pas.
9 Njerëzit e armatosur marshonin përpara priftërinjve që u binin borive, kurse praparoja vinte pas arkës; gjatë marshimit priftërinjtë u binin borive.
10 Jozueu kishte urdhëruar popullin, duke i thënë: "Mos bërtitni, të mos dëgjohet as zëri juaj dhe të mos dalë asnjë fjalë nga goja juaj, deri ditën kur do t’ju them: "Bërtisni!". Atëherë do të bërtisni".
11 Kështu arka e Zotit u soll rreth qytetit një herë; pastaj u kthyen në kamp dhe aty e kaluan natën.
12 Jozueu u ngrit herët në mëngjes, dhe priftërinjtë morën arkën e Zotit.
13 Shtatë priftërinjtë, që mbanin shtatë boritë prej briri të dashit përpara arkës së Zotit, shkonin përpara dhe u binin borive. Njerëzit e armatosur marshonin para tyre, kurse praparoja vinte mbas arkës së Zotit; gjatë marshimit priftërinjtë u binin borive.
14 Ditën e dytë marshuan vetëm një herë rreth qytetit dhe pastaj u kthyen në kamp. Kështu vepruan gjashtë ditë me radhë.
15 Por ditën e shtatë u ngritën herët, në agim, dhe marshuan rreth qytetit në të njëjtën mënyrë shtatë herë; vetëm atë ditë marshuan shtatë herë rreth qytetit.
16 Herën e shtatë, kur priftërinjtë u ranë borive, Jozueu i tha popullit: Bërtisni, sepse Zoti ju dha qytetin!!
17 Qyteti do të shfaroset, ai dhe çdo gjë që është në të. Vetëm prostituta Rehab do të shpëtojë, ajo dhe gjithë ata që janë bashkë me të në shtëpi, sepse ajo fshehu vëzhguesit që ne kishim dërguar.
18 Por ju kini shumë kujdes lidhur me atë që është caktuar të shfaroset, që të mos jeni ju vetë të mallkuar, duke marrë diçka që është caktuar të shfaroset, dhe ta bëni kështu kampin e Izraelit të mallkuar, duke tërhequr mbi të fatkeqësi.
19 Por i gjithë argjendi, ari dhe sendet prej bronzi dhe hekuri i shenjtërohen Zotit; do të hyjnë në thesarin e Zotit".
20 Populli, pra, bërtiti kur priftërinjtë u ranë borive; dhe ndodhi që, kur populli dëgjoi tingullin e borive, nxori një britmë të madhe dhe muret u rrëzuan duke u shëmbur. Populli u ngjit në qytet, secili drejt, përpara, dhe e shtiu në dorë atë.
21 Dhe shfarosën gjithçka ishte në qytet, duke vrarë me shpatë burra e gra, fëmijë dhe pleq e madje qe, dele dhe gomarë.
22 Pastaj Jozueu u tha dy burrave që kishin vëzhguar vendin: "Shkoni në shtëpinë e asaj prostitute dhe nxirrni jashtë gruan dhe tërë ato gjëra që i përkasin asaj, siç i jeni betuar".
23 Atëherë të rinjtë që kishin vëzhguar vendin shkuan dhe nxorën jashtë Rahabin, të atin, të ëmën, të vëllezërit dhe gjithçka i përkiste asaj; kështu nxorën jashtë të gjithë të afërmit e saj dhe i lanë jashtë kampit të Izraelit.
24 Pastaj i vunë zjarrin qytetit dhe tërë gjërave që ai përmbante; morën vetëm argjendin, arin dhe sendet prej bronzi e hekuri, që i vunë në thesarin e shtëpisë së Zotit.
25 Por Jozueu e la të gjallë prostitutën Rahab, familjen e atit të saj dhe gjithçka që i përkiste; kështu që ajo banoi në mes të Izraelit deri sot, sepse ajo kishte fshehur zbuluesit që Jozueu kishte dërguar për të vëzhguar Jerikon.
26 Atë ditë Jozueu u betua duke thënë: "Qoftë i mallkuar para Zotit ai njeri që do të ngrihet të rindërtojë qytetin e Jerikos! Ai do të hedhë themelet mbi të parëlindurin e tij, dhe do t’i lartojë portat mbi birin e tij më të vogël".
27 Zoti ishte me Jozueun, dhe fama e tij u përhap në të gjithë vendin.
Joshua 6
New International Version
Joshua 6
New International Version
6 Now the gates of Jericho(A) were securely barred because of the Israelites. No one went out and no one came in.
2 Then the Lord said to Joshua, “See, I have delivered(B) Jericho into your hands, along with its king and its fighting men. 3 March around the city once with all the armed men. Do this for six days. 4 Have seven priests carry trumpets of rams’ horns(C) in front of the ark. On the seventh day, march around the city seven times, with the priests blowing the trumpets.(D) 5 When you hear them sound a long blast(E) on the trumpets, have the whole army give a loud shout;(F) then the wall of the city will collapse and the army will go up, everyone straight in.”
6 So Joshua son of Nun called the priests and said to them, “Take up the ark of the covenant of the Lord and have seven priests carry trumpets in front of it.”(G) 7 And he ordered the army, “Advance(H)! March around the city, with an armed guard going ahead of the ark(I) of the Lord.”
8 When Joshua had spoken to the people, the seven priests carrying the seven trumpets before the Lord went forward, blowing their trumpets, and the ark of the Lord’s covenant followed them. 9 The armed guard marched ahead of the priests who blew the trumpets, and the rear guard(J) followed the ark. All this time the trumpets were sounding. 10 But Joshua had commanded the army, “Do not give a war cry, do not raise your voices, do not say a word until the day I tell you to shout. Then shout!(K)” 11 So he had the ark of the Lord carried around the city, circling it once. Then the army returned to camp and spent the night there.
12 Joshua got up early the next morning and the priests took up the ark of the Lord. 13 The seven priests carrying the seven trumpets went forward, marching before the ark of the Lord and blowing the trumpets. The armed men went ahead of them and the rear guard followed the ark of the Lord, while the trumpets kept sounding. 14 So on the second day they marched around the city once and returned to the camp. They did this for six days.
15 On the seventh day, they got up at daybreak and marched around the city seven times in the same manner, except that on that day they circled the city seven times.(L) 16 The seventh time around, when the priests sounded the trumpet blast, Joshua commanded the army, “Shout! For the Lord has given you the city!(M) 17 The city and all that is in it are to be devoted[a](N) to the Lord. Only Rahab the prostitute(O) and all who are with her in her house shall be spared, because she hid(P) the spies we sent. 18 But keep away from the devoted things,(Q) so that you will not bring about your own destruction by taking any of them. Otherwise you will make the camp of Israel liable to destruction(R) and bring trouble(S) on it. 19 All the silver and gold and the articles of bronze and iron(T) are sacred to the Lord and must go into his treasury.”
20 When the trumpets sounded,(U) the army shouted, and at the sound of the trumpet, when the men gave a loud shout,(V) the wall collapsed; so everyone charged straight in, and they took the city.(W) 21 They devoted(X) the city to the Lord and destroyed(Y) with the sword every living thing in it—men and women, young and old, cattle, sheep and donkeys.
22 Joshua said to the two men(Z) who had spied out(AA) the land, “Go into the prostitute’s house and bring her out and all who belong to her, in accordance with your oath to her.(AB)” 23 So the young men who had done the spying went in and brought out Rahab, her father and mother, her brothers and sisters and all who belonged to her.(AC) They brought out her entire family and put them in a place outside the camp of Israel.
24 Then they burned the whole city(AD) and everything in it, but they put the silver and gold and the articles of bronze and iron(AE) into the treasury of the Lord’s house.(AF) 25 But Joshua spared(AG) Rahab the prostitute,(AH) with her family and all who belonged to her, because she hid the men Joshua had sent as spies to Jericho(AI)—and she lives among the Israelites to this day.
26 At that time Joshua pronounced this solemn oath:(AJ) “Cursed(AK) before the Lord is the one who undertakes to rebuild this city, Jericho:
“At the cost of his firstborn son
he will lay its foundations;
at the cost of his youngest
he will set up its gates.”(AL)
27 So the Lord was with Joshua,(AM) and his fame spread(AN) throughout the land.

King James Version
Joshua 6
King James Version
6 Now Jericho was straitly shut up because of the children of Israel: none went out, and none came in.
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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 And Joshua rose early in the morning, and the priests took up the ark of the Lord.
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 And the second day they compassed the city once, and returned into the camp: so they did six days.
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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 So the Lord was with Joshua; and his fame was noised throughout all the country.
