< Joshua 2 >

1 And Joshua the son of Naue sent out of Sattin two young men to spy [the land], saying, Go up and view the land and Jericho: and the two young men went and entered into Jericho; and they entered into the house of a harlot, whose name [was] Raab, and lodged there.
Na Joshua el supwala mwet luo liki acn Shittim in lukma, tuh elos in kalngeyuk in acn Canaan, yokna ke siti Jericho. Ke elos sun siti sac, elos utyak nu in lohm sin sie mutan kosro su eis molin kosro lal, tuh elos in mongla we ke fong sac. Inen mutan sac pa Rahab.
2 An it was reported to the king of Jericho, saying, Men of the sons of Israel have come in hither to spy the land.
Tokosra lun Jericho el lohngak lah oasr mwet Israel tuku in fong sac in kalngeyuk in acn Canaan,
3 And the king of Jericho sent and spoke to Raab, saying, Bring out the men that entered into thine house this night; for they are come to spy out the land.
na el sapla nu sel Rahab ac fahk, “Mwet ma tuku nu in lohm sum an ingan elos tuku in kalngei facl se inge! Supwaltalma!”
4 And the woman took the two men and hid them; and she spoke to the messengers, saying, The men came in to me,
A mutan sac el tuh usla mwet luo ac okanultalla. Na el fahk, “Pwaye oasr mwet tuku nu lohm uh, tuh nga tia etu lah elos tuku oya me.
5 but when the gate was shut in the evening, the men went out; I know not whither they are gone: follow after them, if ye may overtake them.
Tusruk elos som meet liki kauli mutunpot lun siti uh ke eku. Nga tia pac etu lah elos som nu oya. Kowos fin sa ukwalos kowos ku in sonolos.”
6 But she [had] brought them up upon the house, and hid them in the flax-stalks that were spread by her on the house.
Sruhk el usalosyak okanulosla ye kahp in sak flax ma el filiya fin mangon lohm sel ah.
7 And the men followed after them in the way to Jordan to the fords; and the gate was shut.
Ke mwet lun tokosra inge illa in ukwe mwet luo ah, na mutunpot ah kauli. Elos ukwe mwet kalngeyuk luo ah nwe ke elos sun sisken Infacl Jordan.
8 And it came to pass when the men who pursued after them were gone forth, and before the spies had lain down to sleep, that she came up to them on the top of the house;
Meet liki mwet kalngeyuk luo ah motulla in fong sac, Rahab el fanyak nu yoroltal nu fin lohm ah.
9 and she said to them, I know that the Lord has given you the land; for the fear of you has fallen upon us.
El fahk nu seltal, “Nga etu tuh LEUM GOD El sot nu suwos facl se inge. Mwet nukewa in facl se inge elos arulana sangeng suwos.
10 For we have heard that the Lord God dried up the Red Sea before you, when ye came out of the land of Egypt, and all that he did to the two kings of the Amorites, who were beyond Jordan, to Seon and Og, whom ye utterly destroyed.
Kut lohng ke ma usrnguk LEUM GOD El tuh orala ke El akpaoyela kof ke Meoa Srusra ye motowos ke kowos illa liki Egypt. Kut lohng pac lah kowos uniya tokosra luo lun mwet Amor — Sihon ac Og — su muta kutulap in Infacl Jordan.
11 And when we heard it we were amazed in our heart, and there was no longer any spirit in any of us because of you, for the Lord your god [is] God in heaven above, and on the earth beneath.
Ke kut lohngak ah kut arulana sangeng suwos, ac insiasr foroti. LEUM GOD lowos El God lun kusrao ac fin faclu.
12 And now swear to me by the Lord God; since I deal mercifully with you, so do ye also deal mercifully with the house of my father:
Inge fulahk nu sik ke Inen LEUM GOD lah kowos fah oru kulang nu sin sou luk, oana nga tuh oru kulang nu suwos. Ase sie mwe akul tuh ngan ku in lulalfongi komtal.
13 and save alive the house of my father, my mother, and my brethren, and all my house, and all that they have, and ye shall rescue my soul from death.
Wulela nu sik lah komtal ac molela papa tumuk ac nina kiuk, oayapa tamulel ac tamtael wiuk ac sou lalos nukewa, ac molikutla liki misa!”
14 And the men said to her, Our life for yours [even] to death: and she said, When the Lord shall have delivered the city to you, ye shall deal mercifully and truly with me.
Na eltal fahk nu sel, “Kom fin tia fahkak ma kut oru inge, kut wulela nu sum lah ke God El ac fah ase facl se inge nu sesr, kut ac fah oru in wo nu suwos. Lela kut in misa kut fin tia oru oana ma kut fahk inge.”
15 And she let them down by the window;
Lohm sel Rahab oanna sisken pot in siti uh. Ke ma inge el koela mwet inge liki winto lal ke sucl soko.
16 and she said to them, Depart into the hill-country, lest the pursuers meet you, and ye shall be hidden there three days until your pursuers return from after you, and afterwards ye shall depart on your way.
Na el fahk nu selos, “Kaingyak nu fineol uh, tuh mwet ukwe kowos ingan in tia konekowosyak. Wikwik we len tolu nwe ke na mwet ingan foloko, na kowos tufah som inkanek lowos.”
17 And the men said to her, We are clear of this thy oath.
Ac eltal fahk nu sel, “Kut fah karinganang wulela lasr nu sum, fal nu ke enenu lom nu sesr.
18 Behold, we shall enter into a part of the city, and thou shalt set a sign; thou shalt bind this scarlet cord in the window, by which thou hast let us down, and thou shalt bring in to thyself, into thy house, thy father, and thy mother, and thy brethren, and all the family of thy father.
Pa inge ma kom enenu in oru. Ke pacl se kut ac foloko mweuni facl se inge, kom fah kapriya fu srusra soko inge ke winto se kom kwikutla we ah. Na kom fah eisani papa tomom ac nina kiom ac tamulel lom ac mwet nukewa in sou lun papa tomom nu in lohm uh.
19 And it shall come to pass that whosoever shall go outside the door of thy house, his guilt shall be upon him, and we shall be quit of this thine oath; and we will be responsible for all that shall be found with thee in thy house.
Kutena mwet fin illa liki lohm uh ac misa likinum uh, mwata ac fah oan facl sifacna ac wangin ip lasr kac. Tuh fin oasr mwet sun ongoiya ke elos mutana yurum lohm uh, oasr ip lasr kac, ac mwata ac fah oan facsr.
20 But if any one should injure us, or betray these our matters, we shall be quit of this thine oath.
Tusruktu, kom fin fahkak nu sin kutena mwet ma kut oru inge, kut ac fah tia karingin wulela se su kom sap kut in wulela nu sum kac.”
21 And she said to them, Let it be according to your word; and she sent them out, and they departed.
Rahab el insesela nu seltal ac supwaltalla. Ke eltal som, el kapriya fu srusra soko ah ke winto uh.
22 And they came to the hill-country, and remained there three days; and the pursuers searched all the roads, and found them not.
Mwet kalngeyuk inge eltal som nu fineol uh ac wikla we. Mwet lun tokosra elos sokoltal in facl sac nufon ke lusen len tolu, tuh elos tiana konaltalak. Na elos folokla nu Jericho.
23 And the two young men returned, and came down out of the mountain; and they went over to Joshua the son of Naue, and told him all things that had happened to them.
Na mwet kalngeyuk luo ah tufoki liki fineol uh ac fahsr sasla Infacl Jordan ac folokla nu yorol Joshua. Eltal srumun nu sel ma nukewa ma tuh sikyak nu seltal.
24 And they said to Joshua, The Lord has delivered all the land into our power, and all the inhabitants of that land tremble because of us.
Ac eltal fahk mu, “Pwayena LEUM GOD El ase facl sac nufon nu inpaosr. Mwet nukewa we arulana sangeng sesr.”
