Joshua 6
1 Now Jericho was tightly shut up because of the Israelites. 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 And the LORD said to Joshua, “Behold, I have delivered Jericho into your hand, along with its king and its 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 March around the city with all the men of war, circling the city one time. Do this for six days.
Botambola zingazinga ya engumba mbala moko na mokolo, yo elongo na bato nyonso ya etumba. Bosala bongo mikolo motoba.
4 Have seven priests carry seven rams’ horns in front of the ark. Then on the seventh day, march around the city seven times, while the priests blow the horns.
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 And when there is a long blast of the ram’s horn and you hear its sound, have all the people give a mighty shout. Then the wall of the city will collapse and all your people will charge straight into the city.”
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 So Joshua son of Nun summoned the priests and said, “Take up the ark of the covenant and have seven priests carry seven rams’ horns in front of the ark of the LORD.”
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 And he told the people, “Advance and march around the city, with the armed troops going ahead of the ark of the LORD.”
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 After Joshua had spoken to the people, seven priests carrying seven rams’ horns before the LORD advanced and blew the horns, and the ark of the covenant of the LORD 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 While the horns continued to sound, the armed troops marched ahead of the priests who blew the horns, and the rear guard followed the ark.
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 But Joshua had commanded the people: “Do not give a battle cry or let your voice be heard; do not let one word come out of your mouth until the day I tell you to shout. Then you are to 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 had the ark of the LORD carried around the city, circling it once. And the people returned to the camp and spent the night there.
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 got up early the next morning, and the priests took the ark of the LORD.
Na tongo-tongo ya mokolo oyo elandaki, Jozue alamukaki, mpe Banganga-Nzambe bamemaki Sanduku ya Yawe.
13 And the seven priests carrying seven rams’ horns kept marching ahead of the ark of the LORD and blowing the horns. The armed troops went in front of them and the rear guard followed the ark of the LORD, while the horns kept sounding.
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 So on the second day they marched around the city once and returned to the camp. They did this for six days.
Na mokolo ya mibale, babalukaki lisusu engumba mbala moko; bongo na sima, bazongaki na molako. Boye, basalaki bongo mikolo motoba.
15 Then on the seventh day, they got up at dawn and marched around the city seven times in the same manner. That was the only day they circled 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 After the seventh time around, the priests blew the horns, and Joshua commanded 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 Now the city and everything in it must be devoted to the LORD for destruction. Only Rahab the prostitute and all those with her in her house will live, because she hid the spies 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 keep away from the things devoted to destruction, lest you yourself be set apart for destruction. If you take any of these, you will set apart the camp of Israel for destruction and bring disaster upon 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 For all the silver and gold and all the articles of bronze and iron are holy to the LORD; they must go into His 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 when the rams’ horns sounded, the people shouted. When they heard the blast of the horn, the people gave a great shout, and the wall collapsed. Then all the people charged straight into the city and captured it.
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 At the edge of the sword they devoted to destruction everything in the city—man and woman, young and old, oxen, sheep, and donkeys.
Babomaki na mopanga, nyonso oyo ezalaki kati na engumba: mobali to mwasi, elenge to mobange, ngombe to meme to mpe ane.
22 Meanwhile, Joshua told the two men who had spied out the land, “Go into the house of the prostitute and bring out the woman and all who are with her, just as you promised 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 So the young spies went in and brought out Rahab, her father and mother and brothers, and all who belonged to her. They brought out her whole family and settled them outside 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 Then the Israelites burned up the city and everything in it. However, they put the silver and gold and articles of bronze and 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 And Joshua spared Rahab the prostitute, with her father’s household and all who belonged to her, because she hid the men Joshua had sent to spy out Jericho. So she has lived among the Israelites to this day.
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 At that time Joshua invoked this solemn oath: “Cursed before the LORD is the man who rises up and rebuilds this city, Jericho; at the cost of his firstborn he will lay its foundations; at the cost of his youngest 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 spread throughout the land.
Yawe azalaki elongo na Jozue, mpe sango na ye epanzanaki mokili mobimba.
