Joshua 6
1 Now Jericho was tightly shut up because of the children of Israel. No one went out, and no one came in.
Bikuke ya engumba Jeriko ezalaki ya kokangama makasi penza mpo na bana ya Isalaele; moto moko te akokaki kokota to kobima.
2 The LORD said to Joshua, “Behold, I have given Jericho into your hand, with its king and the mighty men of valor.
Yawe alobaki na Jozue: — Tala, na maboko na yo, nasili kokaba Jeriko elongo na mokonzi na yango mpe bilombe na yango ya bitumba.
3 All of your men of war shall march around the city, going around the city once. You shall do this six days.
Botambola zingazinga ya engumba mbala moko na mokolo, yo elongo na bato nyonso ya etumba. Bosala bongo mikolo motoba.
4 Seven priests shall bear seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the ark. On the seventh day, you shall march around the city seven times, and the priests shall blow the trumpets.
Kamata Banganga-Nzambe sambo; Nganga-Nzambe moko na moko asengeli komema kelelo moko basala na liseke ya meme. Banganga-Nzambe nyonso sambo basengeli kotambola liboso ya Sanduku. Na mokolo ya sambo, bobaluka zingazinga ya engumba mbala sambo, elongo na Banganga-Nzambe oyo bakozala kobeta bakelelo.
5 It shall be that when they make a long blast with the ram’s horn, and when you hear the sound of the trumpet, all the people shall shout with a great shout; then the city wall will fall down flat, and the people shall go up, every man straight in front of him.”
Tango lolaka ya bakelelo yango ekoyokana tango molayi, tika ete bato nyonso baganga makasi; bongo mir ya engumba ekokweya na pwasa, mpe moto na moto akokota na engumba, na esika oyo akozala.
6 Joshua the son of Nun called the priests, and said to them, “Take up the ark of the covenant, and let seven priests bear seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the LORD’s ark.”
Boye Jozue, mwana mobali ya Nuni, abengaki Banganga-Nzambe mpe alobaki na bango: — Bomema Sanduku ya Boyokani ya Yawe, mpe tika ete Banganga-Nzambe sambo kati na bino bakamata bakelelo sambo mpe batambola liboso ya Sanduku ya Yawe.
7 They said to the people, “Advance! March around the city, and let the armed men pass on before the LORD’s ark.”
Bongo apesaki mitindo oyo epai ya bana ya Isalaele: — Bokende liboso! Botambola zingazinga ya engumba, mpe tika ete basoda oyo bazalaka na liboso, na etumba, baleka liboso ya Sanduku ya Yawe.
8 It was so, that when Joshua had spoken to the people, the seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the LORD advanced and blew the trumpets, and the ark of the LORD’s covenant followed them.
Tango Jozue asilisaki koloba na bato, Banganga-Nzambe sambo, oyo bakamataki bakelelo sambo liboso ya Yawe, balekaki liboso mpe bakomaki kobeta yango, wana Sanduku ya Boyokani ya Yawe ezalaki kolanda bango na sima.
9 The armed men went before the priests who blew the trumpets, and the ark went after them. The trumpets sounded as they went.
Basoda oyo bazalaka na liboso, na bitumba, bazalaki kotambola liboso ya Banganga-Nzambe oyo bazalaki kobeta bakelelo; bongo basoda oyo batikalaka na sima, bazalaki kolanda Sanduku ya Boyokani. Na tango wana nyonso, bakelelo ezalaki kaka kobeta.
10 Joshua commanded the people, saying, “You shall not shout nor let your voice be heard, neither shall any word proceed out of your mouth until the day I tell you to shout. Then you shall shout.”
Kasi Jozue apesaki mitindo oyo epai ya bana ya Isalaele: — Boganga te, boloba mpe eloko moko te! Bovanda kaka kimia kino tango nakoloba na bino ete boganga makasi; wana nde bokoganga makasi.
11 So he caused the LORD’s ark to go around the city, circling it once. Then they came into the camp, and stayed in the camp.
Boye, Sanduku ya Yawe ezalaki kotambola zingazinga ya engumba mbala moko na mokolo; bongo na sima, bato bazalaki kozonga na molako mpo na kolekisa butu.
12 Joshua rose early in the morning, and the priests took up the LORD’s ark.
Na tongo-tongo ya mokolo oyo elandaki, Jozue alamukaki, mpe Banganga-Nzambe bamemaki Sanduku ya Yawe.
13 The seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams’ horns in front of the LORD’s ark went on continually, and blew the trumpets. The armed men went in front of them. The rear guard came after the LORD’s ark. The trumpets sounded as they went.
Banganga-Nzambe sambo oyo basimbaki bakelelo sambo balekaki liboso, batambolaki liboso ya Sanduku ya Yawe, na kobeta bakelelo. Basoda oyo bazalaka na liboso, na bitumba, balekaki liboso na bango; mpe basoda oyo batikalaka na sima bazalaki kolanda Sanduku ya Yawe, wana bakelelo ezalaki kobeta.
14 The second day they marched around the city once, and returned into the camp. They did this six days.
Na mokolo ya mibale, babalukaki lisusu engumba mbala moko; bongo na sima, bazongaki na molako. Boye, basalaki bongo mikolo motoba.
15 On the seventh day, they rose early at the dawning of the day, and marched around the city in the same way seven times. On this day only they marched around the city seven times.
Na mokolo ya sambo, balamukaki na tongo-tongo mpe babalukaki zingazinga ya engumba mbala sambo, ndenge kaka bazalaki kosala. Ezalaki kaka mokolo wana nde babalukaki mbala sambo zingazinga ya engumba.
16 At the seventh time, when the priests blew the trumpets, Joshua said to the people, “Shout, for the LORD has given you the city!
Na mbala oyo ya sambo, tango Banganga-Nzambe babetaki bakelelo tango molayi, Jozue apesaki mitindo epai ya bato: — Boganga makasi, pamba te Yawe akabi engumba oyo na maboko na bino!
17 The city shall be devoted, even it and all that is in it, to the LORD. Only Rahab the prostitute shall live, she and all who are with her in the house, because she hid the messengers that we sent.
Bobebisa mpo na Yawe engumba oyo nyonso elongo na biloko nyonso oyo ezali kati na yango. Bobikisa kaka Raabi, mwasi ya ndumba, elongo na bato na ye nyonso oyo bakozala kati na ndako na ye, pamba te abombaki banongi oyo totindaki.
18 But as for you, only keep yourselves from what is devoted to destruction, lest when you have devoted it, you take of the devoted thing; so you would make the camp of Israel accursed and trouble it.
Kasi bosala keba na tina na biloko oyo ekabami mpo na kobebisama, mpo ete bomilukela pasi te na koluka kokamata ata eloko moko kati na yango, noki te bokomema lisuma oyo ekobebisa molako ya Isalaele mpe bokotia yango na mobulu.
19 But all the silver, gold, and vessels of bronze and iron are holy to the LORD. They shall come into the LORD’s treasury.”
Kasi palata, wolo mpe biloko nyonso ya bronze elongo na bibende ekobulisama mpo na Yawe mpe esengeli kokende na ebombelo bomengo ya Yawe.
20 So the people shouted and the priests blew the trumpets. When the people heard the sound of the trumpet, the people shouted with a great shout, and the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man straight in front of him, and they took the city.
Tango babetaki bakelelo, bato bagangaki makasi. Bongo, tango bato bagangaki makasi sima na koyoka lolaka ya kelelo kobeta tango molayi, mir ya engumba ekweyaki na pwasa. Boye, moto nyonso akotaki na engumba, liboso na ye, mpe babotolaki yango.
21 They utterly destroyed all that was in the city, both man and woman, both young and old, and ox, sheep, and donkey, with the edge of the sword.
Babomaki na mopanga, nyonso oyo ezalaki kati na engumba: mobali to mwasi, elenge to mobange, ngombe to meme to mpe ane.
22 Joshua said to the two men who had spied out the land, “Go into the prostitute’s house, and bring the woman and all that she has out from there, as you swore to her.”
Jozue alobaki na bato mibale oyo banongaki Jeriko: — Bokota na ndako ya mwasi ya ndumba, bobimisa ye libanda elongo na bato na ye nyonso, kolanda ndayi oyo bolapaki liboso na ye.
23 The young men who were spies went in, and brought out Rahab with her father, her mother, her brothers, and all that she had. They also brought out all of her relatives, and they set them outside of the camp of Israel.
Boye, bilenge mibali oyo bakendeki kononga mokili bakotaki mpe babimisaki Raabi, tata na ye, mama na ye, bandeko na ye ya mibali mpe biloko na ye nyonso. Babimisaki libota na ye mobimba na libanda mpe batiaki bango libanda ya molako ya Isalaele.
24 They burned the city with fire, and all that was in it. Only they put the silver, the gold, and the vessels of bronze and of iron into the treasury of the LORD’s house.
Batumbaki engumba mobimba elongo na biloko nyonso oyo ezalaki kati na yango, longola kaka palata mpe wolo, bisalelo nyonso ya bronze mpe ya bibende oyo batiaki na ebombelo bomengo ya Tempelo ya Yawe.
25 But Rahab the prostitute, her father’s household, and all that she had, Joshua saved alive. She lives in the middle of Israel to this day, because she hid the messengers whom Joshua sent to spy out Jericho.
Jozue abikisaki Raabi, mwasi ya ndumba, libota na ye mpe bato na ye nyonso, pamba te abombaki bato oyo Jozue atindaki mpo na kononga Jeriko. Boye, akomaki kovanda kati na bana ya Isalaele kino na mokolo ya lelo.
26 Joshua commanded them with an oath at that time, saying, “Cursed is the man before the LORD who rises up and builds this city Jericho. With the loss of his firstborn he will lay its foundation, and with the loss of his youngest son he will set up its gates.”
Kaka na tango yango, Jozue akataki seleka oyo: « Tika ete moto oyo akoluka kotonga lisusu engumba Jeriko alakelama mabe liboso ya Yawe! Solo, akofuta motuya ya bomoi ya mwana na ye ya liboso ya mobali, tango akotonga miboko na yango; mpe motuya ya bomoi ya mwana na ye ya suka, tango akotia bikuke na yango. »
27 So the LORD was with Joshua; and his fame was in all the land.
Yawe azalaki elongo na Jozue, mpe sango na ye epanzanaki mokili mobimba.
