< 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 Joshua the son of Nun sent out of Shittim two men to spy secretly, saying, Go view the land, even Jericho. And they went, and came into an harlot's house, named Rahab, and lodged there.
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, saying, Behold, there came men in hither to night of the children of Israel to search out the country.
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 unto Rahab, saying, Bring forth the men that are come to thee, which are entered into thine house: for they be come to search out all the country.
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 took the two men, and hid them, and said thus, There came men unto me, but I knew not whence they were:
And it came to pass about the time of shutting of the gate, when it was dark, that the men went out: whither the men went I wot not: pursue after them quickly; for ye shall overtake them.
But she had brought them up to the roof of the house, and hid them with the stalks of flax, which she had laid in order upon the roof.
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.
And the men pursued after them the way to Jordan unto the fords: and as soon as they which pursued after them were gone out, they shut the gate.
8 Desega ahoasu dunu da golamusa: dawa: i be hidadea La: iha: be da diasu gado amoga heda: le,
And before they were laid down, she came up unto them upon the roof;
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.
And she said unto the men, I know that YHWH hath given you the land, and that your terror is fallen upon us, and that all the inhabitants of the land faint because of you.
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.
For we have heard how YHWH dried up the water of the Red sea for you, when ye came out of Egypt; and what ye did unto the two kings of the Amorites, that were on the other side Jordan, Sihon and Og, whom ye utterly destroyed.
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 as soon as we had heard these things, our hearts did melt, neither did there remain any more courage in any man, because of you: for YHWH your Elohim, he is Elohim in heaven above, and in 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, I pray you, swear unto me by YHWH, since I have shewed you kindness, that ye will also shew kindness unto 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.
And that ye will save alive my father, and my mother, and my brethren, and my sisters, and all that they have, and deliver our lives 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.”
And the men answered her, Our life for yours, if ye utter not this our business. And it shall be, when YHWH hath given us the land, that we will deal kindly and truly with thee.
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 by a cord through the window: for her house was upon the town wall, and she dwelt upon 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 unto them, Get you to the mountain, lest the pursuers meet you; and hide yourselves there three days, until the pursuers be returned: and afterward may ye go your way.
17 Desega ahoasu dunu da ema amane sia: i, “Ania dima dafawane sia: i amo ania da hame gogolemu.
And the men said unto her, We will be blameless of this thine 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.
Behold, when we come into the land, thou shalt bind this line of scarlet thread in the window which thou didst let us down by: and thou shalt bring thy father, and thy mother, and thy brethren, and all thy father's household, home unto thee.
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.
And it shall be, that whosoever shall go out of the doors of thy house into the street, his blood shall be upon his head, and we will be guiltless: and whosoever shall be with thee in the house, his blood shall be on our head, if any hand be upon him.
20 Be, di da amo hou eno dunuma olelesea, defea, ninia amo ilegele sia: i fisili, di hame gaga: mu.”
And if thou utter this our business, then we will be quit of thine oath which thou hast made us to 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 said, According unto your words, so be it. And she sent them away, and they departed: and she bound the scarlet line in the window.
22 Desega ahoasu dunu da agolo sogega asili, wamoaligi.
And they went, and came unto the mountain, and abode there three days, until the pursuers were returned: and the pursuers sought them throughout all the way, but 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.
So the two men returned, and descended from the mountain, and passed over, and came to Joshua the son of Nun, and told him all things that befell 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 they said unto Joshua, Truly YHWH hath delivered into our hands all the land; for even all the inhabitants of the country do faint because of us.
