< Yosiua 2 >
1 Ilia da Aga: isia sogebi abula diasu gilisisu ganodini esalu. Amalalu, Yosiua da desega ahoasu dunu aduna asunasi. E da ela da wamowane Ga: ina: ne soge amola baligili Yeligou moilai bai bagade, amo hou ba: la masa: ne sia: i. Yeligou moilai bai bagadega doaga: le, ela da wadela: i hamosu uda (hina: da: i bidi lasu uda) ea dio amo La: iha: be, amo ea diasu ganodini gasi afadafa midi.
And Josue the son of Nun sent from Setim two men, to spy secretly: and said to them: Go, and view the land and the city of Jericho. They went and entered into the house of a woman that was a harlot named Rahab, and lodged with her.
2 Yeligou Hina bagade da amo gasia, Isala: ili dunu da ilia soge desega ba: la misi, amo sia: ne iasu nabi dagoi.
And it was told the king of Jericho, and was said: Behold there are men come in hither, by night, of the children of Israel, to spy the land.
3 Amaiba: le, e da La: iha: bema amane sia: si, “Dunu dia diasuga esala da ninia soge desega misi. Amo dunu, gadili oule misa.”
And the king of Jericho sent to Rahab, saying: Bring forth the men that came to thee, and are entered into thy house: for they are spies, and are come to view all the land.
4 Be La: iha: be da amane sia: i, “Dafawane! Dunu da na diasuga misi dagoi. Be ilia da habidili misi na da hame dawa: i galu. Eso dabe amoga moilai bai bagade logo ga: su da hame ga: si galu, amo dunu da fisili asi. Ilia masunu soge nama hame adoi. Be dilia da ilima hedolo fa: no bobogesea, afugili lamu.” (Be La: iha: be da desega ahoasu dunu ea diasu gadodili saga: ligisisu bi amo hagudu wamoaligi.)
And the woman taking the men, hid them, and said: I confess they came to me, but I knew not whence they were:
And at the time of shutting the gate in the dark, they also went out together. I know not whither they are gone: pursue after them quickly, and you will overtake them.
But she made the men go up to the top of her house, and covered them with the stalks of flax, which was there.
7 Hina bagade ea hawa: hamosu dunu da moilai bai bagade fisili amalalu logo da ga: si dagoi ba: i. Ilia da Isala: ili desega ahoasu dunu hogomusa: , logoga ahoanoba, logo da Yodane Hano degesu amoga doaga: i dagoiba: le fawane yolesi.
Now they that were sent, pursued after them, by the way that leadeth to the fords of the Jordan: and as soon as they were gone out, the gate was presently shut.
8 Desega ahoasu dunu da golamusa: dawa: i be hidadea La: iha: be da diasu gado amoga heda: le,
The men that were hidden were not yet asleep, when behold the woman went up to them, and said:
9 elama amane sia: i, “Hina Gode da amo soge dilima i amo na dawa: Dunu huluane na soge ganodini da diliba: le bagade beda: i.
I know that the Lord hath given this land to you: for the dread of you is fallen upon us, and all the inhabitants of the land have lost all strength.
10 Hina Gode da dili Idibidi sogega fisili masa: ne gadili oule asili, dilia midadi Maga: me Hano Wayabo hafoga: i dagoi amo ninia nabi. Ninia nabi dilia da A: moulaide hina bagade aduna Yodane eso mabadi la: idi, amo Saihone amola Oge medole legei.
We have heard that the Lord dried up the water of the Red Sea at your going in, when you came out of Egypt: and what things you did to the two kings of the Amorrhites, that were beyond the Jordan: Sehon and Og whom you slew.
11 Dilia hou nababeba: le, ninia da bagadewane beda: i. Diliba: le, ninia gasa huluane fisi dagoi ba: i. Dilia Hina Gode da Hebene amola osobo bagade amoma Hinadafa esala.
And hearing these things we were affrighted, and our heart fainted away, neither did there remain any spirit in us at your coming in: for the Lord your God he is God in heaven above, and in the earth beneath.
12 Wali, Hina Gode Ea Dioba: le, alia da na alima asigi hou defele, alia da na sosogo fi ilima asigima: ne ilegele sia: ma. Amola na da alia sia: dafawaneyale dawa: ma: ne, dawa: digima: ne olelesu nama ima.
Now therefore swear ye to me by the Lord, that as I have shewn mercy to you, so you also will shew mercy to my father’s house: and give me a true token,
13 Dilia da na ada, na ame, na olalali, na dalusi huluane amola ilia sosogo fi huluane, amo dilia da gaga: ma: ne ilegele sia: ma. Nini mae medole legema.
That you will save my father and mother, my brethren and sisters, and all things that are theirs, and deliver our souls from death.
14 Desega ahoasu dunu da bu adole i, “Defea! Di da hame bogomu. Di da ania esalusu anima iba: le, ania da dilia esalusu dabe agoane imunu. Di da dunu eno ania hou hamedafa adosea, Hina Gode da amo soge ninima iasea, ani da dafawane ilegele sia: sa, di da se hame nabimu.”
They answered her: Be our lives for you unto death, only if thou betray us not. And when the Lord shall have delivered us the land, we will shew thee mercy and truth.
15 La: iha: be da diasu amo moilai bai bagade gagoi gadodili gagui galu. Amaiba: le, e da fo misa: ne agenesi doasili, desega ahoasu dunu aduna efega bagele, osoboga sanasi.
Then she let them down with a cord out of a window: for her house joined close to the wall.
16 E amane sia: i, “Hina bagade ea hawa: hamosu dunu da ali ba: sa: besa: le, agolo sogega masa. Amogawi, eso udiana amoga wamoaligili, hogosu dunu da guiguda: bu misi dagoiba: le, bu masa.”
And she said to them: Get ye up to the mountains, lest perhaps they meet you as they return: and there lie ye hid three days, till they come back, and so you shall go on your way.
17 Desega ahoasu dunu da ema amane sia: i, “Ania dima dafawane sia: i amo ania da hame gogolemu.
And they said to her: We shall be blameless of this oath, which thou hast made us swear:
18 Di agoane hamoma. Ninia da dia soge doagala: sea, amo fo misa: ne agenesi di da ani sanasi, amoga amo yoi efe bagesima. Dia ada, ame, yolalali amola dia sosogo fi huluane, amo dia diasu ganodini gilisima: ne sia: ma.
If when we come into the land, this scarlet cord be a sign, and thou tie it in the window, by which thou hast let us down: and gather together thy father and mother, and brethren and all thy kindred into thy house.
19 Be nowa da diasu gadili ahoasea, ea bogosu da hi hamoiba: le bogoi ba: mu - ninia hame. Be nowa da dia diasu ganodini sali ba: sea amo bogosea, amo bogoi da ninima dabe lamu agoai galebe.
Whosoever shall go out of the door of thy house, his blood shall be upon his own head, and we shall be quit. But the blood of all that shall be with thee in the house, shall light upon our head, if any man touch them.
20 Be, di da amo hou eno dunuma olelesea, defea, ninia amo ilegele sia: i fisili, di hame gaga: mu.”
But if thou wilt betray us, and utter this word abroad, we shall be quit of this oath which thou hast made us swear.
21 La: iha: be da ela sia: i hahawane naba ba: lalu, ela asunasi. Ela da asi dagoloba, e da yoi efe, amo ea fo misa: ne agenesi amoga bagesi dagoi.
And she answered: As you have spoken, so be it done. And sending them on their way, she hung the scarlet cord in the window.
22 Desega ahoasu dunu da agolo sogega asili, wamoaligi.
But they went and came to the mountains, and stayed there three days till they that pursued them were returned. For having sought them through all the way, they found them not.
23 Yeligou hina bagade ea hawa: hamosu dunu da eso udianaga ela hogolalu be hame ba: beba: le, Yeligou diasuga buhagi. Amalalu, desega ahoasu dunu aduna da agolo soge fisili, hano degele, Yosiua ema buhagi. Ela da elama doaga: i hou huluane amo Yosiuama olelei.
And when they were gone back into the city, the spies returned, and came down from the mountain: and passing over the Jordan, they came to Josue the son of Nun, and told him all that befel them.
24 Amalalu ela amane sia: i, “Hina Gode da amo soge huluane ninima i dagoi, amo ania da dafawaneyale dawa: be. Dunu huluane amo ganodini esala da niniba: le bagadewane beda: i.”
And said: The Lord hath delivered all this land into our hands, and all the inhabitants thereof are overthrown with fear.
