Yoswa 6
1 Tsono mzinda wa Yeriko unali utatsekedwa kuti Aisraeli asalowe. Palibe amene amatuluka kapena kulowa.
(And Jericho shutteth itself up, and is shut up, because of the presence of the sons of Israel — none going out, and none coming in; )
2 Kenaka Yehova anati kwa Yoswa, “Taona ndapereka Yeriko, pamodzi ndi mfumu yake ndi ankhondo ake mʼmanja mwako.
And Jehovah saith unto Joshua, 'See, I have given into thy hand Jericho and its king — mighty ones of valour,
3 Tsono iwe pamodzi ndi ankhondo ako onse muzizungulira mzindawu masiku asanu ndi limodzi, kamodzi pa tsiku.
and ye have compassed the city — all the men of battle — going round the city once; thus thou dost six days;
4 Ansembe asanu ndi awiri, atanyamula malipenga a nyanga za nkhosa zazimuna, akhale patsogolo pa Bokosi la Chipangano. Pa tsiku lachisanu ndi chiwiri mudzazungulire mzindawu kasanu ndi kawiri ansembe akuliza malipenga.
and seven priests do bear seven trumpets of the jubilee before the ark, and on the seventh day ye compass the city seven times, and the priests blow with the trumpets,
5 Ansembe adzalize malipenga kosalekeza. Tsono anthu onse akadzamva kuliza kumeneku adzafuwule kwambiri, ndipo makoma a mzindawo adzagwa. Zikadzatero ankhondo adzalowe mu mzindawo.”
and it hath been, in the prolongation of the horn of the jubilee, in your hearing the voice of the trumpet, all the people shout — a great shout, and the wall of the city hath fallen under it, and the people have gone up, each over-against him.'
6 Ndipo Yoswa mwana wa Nuni anayitana ansembe ndipo anawawuza kuti, “Nyamulani Bokosi la Chipangano cha Yehova ndipo ansembe asanu ndi awiri anyamule malipenga. Iwowa akhale patsogolo pake.”
And Joshua son of Nun calleth unto the priests, and saith unto them, 'Bear ye the ark of the covenant, and seven priests do bear seven trumpets of the jubilee before the ark of Jehovah;'
7 Ndipo analamulira anthu kuti, “Yambani kuyenda! Yendani mozungulira mzinda ndipo ankhondo akhale patsogolo pa Bokosi la Yehova.”
and He said unto the people, 'Pass over, and compass the city, and he who is armed doth pass over before the ark of Jehovah.'
8 Mofanana ndi mmene Yoswa anayankhulira kwa anthu aja, ansembe asanu ndi awiri anapita patsogolo pa Bokosi la Chipangano la Yehova akuliza malipenga a nyanga za nkhosa zija, ndipo Bokosi la Chipangano cha Yehova limabwera pambuyo pawo.
And it cometh to pass, when Joshua speaketh unto the people, that the seven priests bearing seven trumpets of the jubilee before Jehovah have passed over and blown with the trumpets, and the ark of the covenant of Jehovah is going after them;
9 Ankhondo amayenda patsogolo pa ansembe amene amayimba malipenga, ndiponso gulu lina pambuyo pa Bokosilo. Nthawi yonseyi nʼkuti malipenga akulira.
and he who is armed is going before the priests blowing the trumpets, and he who is gathering up is going after the ark, going on and blowing with the trumpets;
10 Koma Yoswa nʼkuti atalamulira anthu kuti, “Musafuwule, musakweze mawu anu kapena kuyankhula mpaka tsiku limene ndidzakuwuzani kuti mufuwule. Pamenepo mudzafuwule!”
and the people hath Joshua commanded, saying, 'Ye do not shout, nor cause your voice to be heard, nor doth there go out from your mouth a word, till the day of my saying unto you, Shout ye — then ye have shouted.'
11 Ansembe onyamula Bokosi la Chipangano la Yehova anazungulira mzindawo kamodzi. Kenaka anthu anabwerera ku msasa wawo kukagona.
And the ark of Jehovah doth compass the city, going round once, and they come into the camp, and lodge in the camp.
12 Yoswa anadzuka mmawa tsiku linalo ndipo ansembe ananyamula Bokosi la Yehova.
And Joshua riseth early in the morning, and the priests bear the ark of Jehovah,
13 Ansembe asanu ndi awiri onyamula malipenga asanu ndi awiri anakhala patsogolo pa Bokosi la Yehova akuyimba malipenga. Ankhondo anali patsogolo pawo ndipo gulu lina linatsatira Bokosi la Yehova. Apa nʼkuti malipenga akulira.
and seven priests bearing seven trumpets of the jubilee before the ark of Jehovah are walking, going on, and they have blown with the trumpets — and he who is armed is going before them, and he who is gathering up is going behind the ark of Jehovah — going on and blowing with the trumpets.
14 Tsiku lachiwiri anazunguliranso mzinda kamodzi ndi kubwerera ku misasa. Iwo anachita izi kwa masiku asanu ndi limodzi.
And they compass the city on the second day once, and turn back to the camp; thus they have done six days.
15 Pa tsiku lachisanu ndi chiwiri, anadzuka mʼbandakucha ndipo anazungulira mzindawo kasanu ndi kawiri. Ndi pa tsiku lokhali limene anazungulira mzindawu kasanu ndi kawiri.
And it cometh to pass, on the seventh day, that they rise early, at the ascending of the dawn, and compass the city, according to this manner, seven times; (only, on that day they have compassed the city seven times);
16 Pomwe amazungulira kachisanu ndi chiwiri, ansembe akuliza malipenga mokweza, Yoswa analamulira anthu kuti “Fuwulani pakuti Yehova wakupatsani mzindawu!
and it cometh to pass, at the seventh time, the priests have blown with the trumpets, and Joshua saith unto the people, 'Shout ye, for Jehovah hath given to you the city;
17 Mzindawu ndi zonse zimene zili mʼmenemo muziwononge. Rahabe yekha, mayi wadama, ndi aliyense amene ali pamodzi naye mʼnyumba mwake asaphedwe, chifukwa anabisa anthu odzazonda, amene ife tinawatuma
and the city hath been devoted, it and all that [is] in it, to Jehovah; only Rahab the harlot doth live, she and all who [are] with her in the house, for she hid the messengers whom we sent;
18 Koma musatenge kanthu kalikonse koyenera kuwonongedwa. Mukadzangotenga kanthu kalikonse koyenera kuwonongedwa, mudzaputa mavuto, misasa ya Israeli idzawonongedwa.
and surely ye have kept from the devoted thing, lest ye devote [yourselves], and have taken from the devoted thing, and have made the camp of Israel become a devoted thing, and have troubled it;
19 Zonse za siliva ndi golide, ziwiya zamkuwa ndi zachitsulo, ndi zake za Yehova ndipo ziyenera kukasungidwa mosungiramo chuma chake.”
and all the silver and gold, and vessels of brass and iron, holy they [are] to Jehovah; into the treasury of Jehovah they come.'
20 Ansembe analiza malipenga. Anthu atamva kulira kwa malipenga, anafuwula kwambiri ndipo makoma a Yeriko anagwa. Choncho ankhondo anabwera ku mzinda uja nawulanda.
And the people shout, and blow with the trumpets, and it cometh to pass when the people hear the voice of the trumpet, that the people shout — a great shout, and the wall falleth under it, and the people goeth up into the city, each over-against him, and they capture the city;
21 Iwo analowa mu mzindawo nawononga ndi lupanga chilichonse chamoyo kuyambira amuna, akazi, ana ndi akulu, ngʼombe, nkhosa ndi abulu.
and they devote all that [is] in the city, from man even unto woman, from young even unto aged, even unto ox, and sheep, and ass, by the mouth of the sword.
22 Yoswa anawuza anthu awiri amene anakazonda dziko aja kuti, “Pitani ku nyumba ya mkazi wadama uja ndipo mukamutulutse iye pamodzi ndi onse amene ali naye ndipo mukabwere nawo kuno, munamulumbirira.”
And to the two men who are spying the land Joshua said, 'Go into the house of the woman, the harlot, and bring out thence the woman, and all whom she hath, as ye have sworn to her.'
23 Choncho iwo anapita nakatenga Rahabe, abambo ake ndi amayi ake, abale ake ndi onse amene anali naye. Iwo anatulutsa banja lake lonse ndipo analiyika kuseri kwa msasa wa Aisraeli.
And the young man, the spies, go in and bring out Rahab, and her father, and her mother, and her brethren, and all whom she hath; yea, all her families they have brought out, and place them at the outside of the camp of Israel.
24 Kenaka iwo anawotcha mzinda wonse ndi chilichonse chimene chinali mʼmenemo, kupatulapo zasiliva ndi zagolide pamodzi ndi ziwiya zamkuwa ndi zachitsulo zimene anakaziyika mʼnyumba yosungiramo chuma cha Yehova.
And the city they have burnt with fire, and all that [is] in it; only, the silver and the gold, and the vessels of brass, and of iron, they have given [to] the treasury of the house of Jehovah;
25 Koma Yoswa sanaphe Rahabe, mkazi wadamayo pamodzi ndi banja lake ndi onse amene anali naye, chifukwa anabisa anthu amene iye anawatuma kukazonda Yeriko. Zidzukulu zake za Rahabeyo zikukhala pakati pa Aisraeli mpaka lero.
and Rahab the harlot, and the house of her father, and all whom she hath, hath Joshua kept alive; and she dwelleth in the midst of Israel unto this day, for she hid the messengers whom Joshua sent to spy out Jericho.
26 Pa nthawi imeneyo Yoswa anapereka chenjezo motemberera kuti, “Akhale wotembereredwa pamaso pa Yehova munthu amene adzamangenso mzinda uwu wa Yeriko: “Aliyense amene adzayike maziko ake, mwana wake wamwamuna wachisamba adzafa, aliyense womanga zipata zake mwana wake wamngʼono adzafa.”
And Joshua adjureth [them] at that time, saying, 'Cursed [is] the man before Jehovah who raiseth up and hath built this city, [even] Jericho; in his first-born he doth lay its foundation, and in his youngest he doth set up its doors;'
27 Motero Yehova anali ndi Yoswa, ndipo mbiri yake inafalikira dziko lonse.
and Jehovah is with Joshua, and his fame is in all the land.
