6 — Giosuè

1Now Jericho was close shut up and fenced, for fear of the children of Israel, and no man durst go out or come in.Or la città di Gerico era chiusa, e ben munita per timore de' figliuoli d'Israele, e nissuno ardiva di uscirne, o di entrarvi.AND Iericho was shut and fensed, for feare of the children of Israel, and no man durst goe out or come in.Jericho autem clausa erat atque munita, timore filiorum Israël, et nullus egredi audebat aut ingredi. 2And the Lord said to Josue: Behold I have given into thy hands Jericho, and the king thereof, and all the valiant men.E il Signore disse a Giosuè: Ecco che io ho data in tuo potere Gerico, e il suo re, e tutti i suoi campioni.And our Lord said to Iosue: Behold I haue geuen into thy handes Iericho, and the king therof, and al the valiant men.Dixitque Dominus ad Josue: Ecce dedi in manu tua Jericho, et regem ejus, omnesque fortes viros. 3Go round about the city all ye fighting men once a day: so shall ye do for six days.Fate il giro della città una volta il giorno voi quanti siete uomini atti alla guerra: così farete per sei giorni.Goe round about the citie al you that be men of warre once a day: so shal you doe six daies.Circuite urbem cuncti bellatores semel per diem: sic facietis sex diebus. 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.E il settimo giorno i sacerdoti prendano le sette trombe che si adoperano pel giubbileo, e vadano innanzi all'arca del testamento: e farete sette volte il giro della città, e i sacerdoti soneranno le trombe.And the seuenth day the priestes shal take vp the seuen trumpettes, which are vsed in the Iubilee, and shal goe before the arke of the couenant: and you shal goe about the citie seuen times, and the priestes shal sound with trumpetes.Septimo autem die, sacerdotes tollant septem buccinas, quarum usus est in jubilæo, et præcedant arcam fœderis: septiesque circuibitis civitatem, et sacerdotes clangent buccinis. 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.E quando si farà sentire il suono della tromba più lungo, e più rotto, che ferirà le vostre orecchie, tutto il popolo alzerà un grandissimo strido, e le mura della città cadranno da' fondamenti; e ciascheduno entrerà da quella parte che gli sarà dirimpetto.And when the voice of the trumpet shal sound in length and with a broken tune, and shal sound in your eares, al the people shal crie together with a verie greate shoote, and the walles of the citie shal fall to the ground, and they shal enter in euerie one at the place against which they shal stād.Cumque insonuerit vox tubæ longior atque concisior, et in auribus vestris increpuerit, conclamabit omnis populus vociferatione maxima, et muri funditus corruent civitatis, ingredienturque singuli per locum contra quem steterint.

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.Chiamò adunque Giosuè figliuolo di Nun i sacerdoti, e disse loro: Prendete l'arca del testamento: e sette altri sacerdoti prendano le sette trombe del giubbileo, e vadano innanzi all'arca del Signore.Iosue therfore the sonne of Nun called the priestes, and said to them: Take vp the arke of the couenant: and let seuen other priestes take vp the seuen trūpe•tes of the iubilees, and march before the arke of our Lord.Vocavit ergo Josue filius Nun sacerdotes, et dixit ad eos: Tollite arcam fœderis: et septem alii sacerdotes tollant septem jubilæorum buccinas, et incedant ante arcam Domini. 7And he said to the people: Go, and compass the city, armed, marching before the ark of the Lord.E al popolo disse: Andate, e fate il giro della città armati, andando innanzi all'arca del Signore.To the people also he said: Goe, and cōpasse the citie, the armed going before the arke of our Lord.Ad populum quoque ait: Ite, et circuite civitatem, armati, præcedentes arcam Domini. 8And when Josue had ended his words, and the seven priests blew the seven trumpets before the ark of the covenant of the Lord,E avendo Giosuè finito di parlare, e i sette sacerdoti sonando le sette trombe dinanzi all'arca del testamento del Signore,And when Iosue had ended his wordes, and the seuen priestes sounded with seuen trumpettes before the arke of the couenant of ou• Lord,Cumque Josue verba finisset, et septem sacerdotes septem buccinis clangerent ante arcam fœderis Domini, 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.E andando avanti tutto l'esercito armato, il resto della turba veniva dietro all'arca, e dappertutto rimbombava il suono delle trombe.and al the armed hoste went before, the rest of the commō people folowed the arke, and al places sounded with the trumpettes.omnisque præcederet armatus exercitus, reliquum vulgus arcam sequebatur, ac buccinis omnia concrepabant. 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.Or Giosuè avea ordinato, e detto al popolo: Voi non griderete, e non si udirà la vostra voce, nè vi uscirà parola di bocca, fino a tanto che venga il giorno, in cui io vi dirò: Gridate, e alzate la voce.But Iosue had commanded the people, saying: You shal not crie, neither shal your voice be heard, nor any word goe out of your mouth: vntil the day come wherin I shal say to you: Crie, and shoote.Præceperat autem Josue populo, dicens: Non clamabitis, nec audietur vox vestra, neque ullus sermo ex ore vestro egredietur, donec veniat dies in quo dicam vobis: Clamate, et vociferamini.

11So the ark of the Lord went about the city once a day, and returning into the camp, abode there.Fece adunque l'arca del Signore il giro della città una volta in quel dì, e se ne tornò agli alloggiamenti, e ivi si stette.Therfore the arke of our Lord went about the citie once a day, and returning into the campe, abode there.Circuivit ergo arca Domini civitatem semel per diem, et reversa in castra mansit ibi. 12And Josue rising before day, the priests took the ark of the Lord,Alzatosi poi Giosuè di notte tempo, presero i sacerdoti l'arca del Signore,Iosue therfore rysing in the night, the priestes tooke the arke of our Lord,Igitur Josue de nocte consurgente, tulerunt sacerdotes arcam Domini, 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.E sette di loro le sette trombe, che si adoperano nel giubbileo, e andavano innanzi all'arca del Signore camminando, e sonando, e il popolo armato li precedeva; ma il resto della turba andava dietro all'arca, e le trombe sonavano.and seuen of them seuen trumpettes, which are vsed in the iubilee: and they went before the arke of our Lord walking and sounding: and the armed people went before them, and the rest of the common people folowed the arke, and they sounded with trumpettes.et septem ex eis septem buccinas, quarum in jubilæo usus est: præcedebantque arcam Domini ambulantes atque clangentes: et armatus populus ibat ante eos, vulgus autem reliquum sequebatur arcam, et buccinis personabat. 14And they went round about the city the second day once, and returned into the camp. So they did six days.E fecero il giro della città una volta il secondo giorno; e se ne tornarono al campo. Così fecero per sei giorni.And they went round about the citie the second day once, and returned into the campe. So did they six daies.Circuieruntque civitatem secundo die semel, et reversi sunt in castra. Sic fecerunt sex diebus. 15But the seventh day, rising up early, they went about the city, as it was ordered, seven times.Ma il settimo giorno alzatisi di gran mattino fecero il giro della città sette volte, come era stato ordinato.But the seuenth day, rysing vp early, they went about the citie, as it was ordained, seuen times.Dies autem septimo, diluculo consurgentes, circuierunt urbem, sicut dispositum erat, septies. 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:E al settimo giro sonando i sacerdoti le trombe, disse Giosuè a tutto Israele: Alzate la voce: perocché il Signore ha data in poter vostro la città:And when in the seuenth going about the priestes sounded with the trumpettes, Iosue said to al Israel: Make a shoote: for our Lord hath deliuered to you the citie:Cumque septimo circuitu clangerent buccinis sacerdotes, dixit Josue ad omnem Israël: Vociferamini: tradidit enim vobis Dominus civitatem.

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.E questa città sia un anatema, e tutto quello che vi è dentro, sia del Signore: sola Rahab meretrice abbia la vita con tutti quelli che sono nella sua casa: perchè ella nascose gli esploratori mandati da noi.and let this citie be anathema: and al thinges that are in it, to our Lord. onlie Rahab the harlot let her liue, with al that be with her in the house: for she hidde the messengers whom we sent.Sitque civitas hæc anathema, et omnia quæ in ea sunt, Domino: sola Rahab meretrix vivat, cum universis qui cum ea in domo sunt: abscondit enim nuntios quos direximus. 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.Ma voi guardatevi dal toccare alcuna di quelle cose contro l'ordine dato, affinchè non vi facciate rei di prevaricazione, per cui tutto il campo d'Israele resterebbe sotto il peccato, e sarebbe messo in iscompiglio.But you beware you touch not ought of those rhinges, that are commanded, and be guiltie of preuarication, and al the campe of Israel be vnder sinne, and be trubled.Vos autem cavete ne de his, quæ præcepta sunt, quippiam contingatis, et sitis prævaricationis rei, et omnia castra Israël sub peccato sint atque turbentur. 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.Ma tutto quello che vi sarà d'oro, e di argento, e di vasi di rame, e di ferro, sarà consacrato al Signore, e riposto ne' suoi tesori.But whatsoeuer gold or siluer there shal be, and of brasen vessels and yron, let it be consecrated to our Lord, layd vp in his treasures.Quidquid autem auri et argenti fuerit, et vasorum æneorum ac ferri, Domino consecretur, repositum in thesauris ejus. 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,Quando adunque tutto il popolo ebbe alzate le grida unite al suon delle trombe, e quando la voce e il suono ferì le orecchie della moltitudine, le mura caddero subitamente: e ciascheduno vi entrò per la parte che gli stava davanti; e presero la città.Therfore al the people making a shoote, and the trumpettes sounding, after that the voice and the sound thundred in the eares of the multitude, the walles forthwith fell: and euerie man went vp by the place, that was against him: and they tooke the citie,Igitur omni populo vociferante, et clangentibus tubis, postquam in aures multitudinis vox sonitusque increpuit, muri illico corruerunt: et ascendit unusquisque per locum qui contra se erat: ceperuntque civitatem, 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.E uccisero tutti quei che incontrarono, uomini e donne, fanciulli e vecchi. E misero a morte anche i bovi, e le pecore, e gli asini.and killed al thinges that were in it, from man to woman, from the infant to the old man. The oxen also and sheepe, and the asses they stroke in the edge of the sword.et interfecerunt omnia quæ erant in ea, a viro usque ad mulierem, ab infante usque ad senem. Boves quoque et oves et asinos in ore gladii percusserunt.

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.Ma a que' due uomini che erano stati mandati ad esplorare, disse Giosuè: Andate alla casa di quella donna meretrice, e conducetela fuori con tutto quello che ad essa appartiene, come voi le prometteste con giuramento.But to the two men that had bene sent for spies, Iosue said: Goe into the house of the woman the harlotte, and bring her forth, and al thinges that be hers, as you assured her by oath.Duobus autem viris, qui exploratores missi fuerant, dixit Josue: Ingredimini domum mulieris meretricis, et producite eam, et omnia quæ illius sunt, sicut illi juramento firmastis. 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.E que' giovani andarono, e menaron fuori Rahab, e i suoi genitori, e anche i fratelli, e tutte le robe di lei, e i suoi parenti, e li fecero stare fuori del campo d'Israele.And the young men going in, brought out Rahab, and her parentes, her brethren also and al her stuffe and kinred, and made them to tarie without the campe.Ingressique juvenes eduxerunt Rahab, et parentes ejus, fratres quoque, et cunctam supellectilem ac cognationem illius, et extra castra Israël manere fecerunt. 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 unto the treasury of the Lord.E dieder fuoco alla città, e tutto quello che v'era dentro, eccettuato l'oro, e l'argento e i vasi di rame, e di ferro che eglino consacrarono nell'erario del Signore.But the citie, and al thinges, that were found therein they burnt; except the gold and siluer, and brasen vessels, and yron, which they consecrated vnto the treasurie of our Lord.Urbem autem, et omnia quæ erant in ea, succenderunt, absque auro et argento, et vasis æneis, ac ferro, quæ in ærarium Domini consecrarunt. 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:Ma a Rahab meretrice, e alla famiglia del padre di lei, e a tutti i suoi donò Giosuè la vita, ed eglino si rimasero tra gl'Israeliti, come sono fino al dì d'oggi: perchè ella nascose i messi spediti in Gerico a prender lingua. Allora Giosuè fulminò questa imprecazione, e disse:But Rahab the harlotte and the house of her father, and al that she had, Iosue caused to liue, and they dwelt in the middes of Israel vntil this present day: for that she hidde the messengers, which he had sent to view Iericho. At that time, Iosue pronounced a curse, saying:Rahab vero meretricem, et domum patris ejus, et omnia quæ habebat, fecit Josue vivere, et habitaverunt in medio Israël, usque in præsentem diem: eo quod absconderit nuntios, quos miserat ut explorarent Jericho. In tempore illo, imprecatus est Josue, dicens:

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.Maledetto dinanzi al Signore, colui che risusciterà, e riedificherà la città di Gerico: ne getti egli le fondamenta sul proprio suo primogenito, e ne rialzi le porte sopra l'ultimo de' suoi figliuoli.Cursed be the man before our Lord, that shal rayse vp and build the citie of Iericho. In his first borne lay he the fundations therof, and in the last of his children sette he vp the gates therof.Maledictus vir coram Domino, qui suscitaverit et ædificaverit civitatem Jericho. In primogenito suo fundamenta illius jaciat, et in novissimo liberorum ponat portas ejus. 27And the Lord was with Josue, and his name was noised throughout all the land.Il Signore adunque fu con Giosuè, e si sparse la sua rinomanza sopra tutta la terra.Our Lord therfore was with Iosue, and his name was bruited in al the earth.Fuit ergo Dominus cum Josue, et nomen ejus vulgatum est in omni terra.
