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.
misit ergo Iosue filius Nun de Setthim duos viros exploratores abscondito et dixit eis ite et considerate terram urbemque Hiericho qui pergentes ingressi sunt domum mulieris meretricis nomine Raab et quieverunt apud eam
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.
nuntiatumque est regi Hiericho et dictum ecce viri ingressi sunt huc per noctem de filiis Israhel ut explorarent terram
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.
misitque rex Hiericho ad Raab dicens educ viros qui venerunt ad te et ingressi sunt domum tuam exploratores quippe sunt et omnem terram considerare venerunt
4 And the woman took the two men and hid them; and she spoke to the messengers, saying, The men came in to me,
tollensque mulier viros abscondit et ait fateor venerunt ad me sed nesciebam unde essent
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.
cumque porta clauderetur in tenebris et illi pariter exierunt nescio quo abierunt persequimini cito et conprehendetis eos
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.
ipsa autem fecit ascendere viros in solarium domus suae operuitque eos lini stipula quae ibi erat
7 And the men followed after them in the way to Jordan to the fords; and the gate was shut.
hii autem qui missi fuerant secuti sunt eos per viam quae ducit ad vadum Iordanis illisque egressis statim porta clausa est
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;
necdum obdormierant qui latebant et ecce mulier ascendit ad eos et ait
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.
novi quod tradiderit Dominus vobis terram etenim inruit in nos terror vester et elanguerunt omnes habitatores terrae
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.
audivimus quod siccaverit Dominus aquas maris Rubri ad vestrum introitum quando egressi estis ex Aegypto et quae feceritis duobus Amorreorum regibus qui erant trans Iordanem Seon et Og quos interfecistis
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.
et haec audientes pertimuimus et elanguit cor nostrum nec remansit in nobis spiritus ad introitum vestrum Dominus enim Deus vester ipse est Deus in caelo sursum et in terra deorsum
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:
nunc ergo iurate mihi per Dominum ut quomodo ego feci vobiscum misericordiam ita et vos faciatis cum domo patris mei detisque mihi signum verum
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.
et salvetis patrem meum et matrem fratres ac sorores meas et omnia quae eorum sunt et eruatis animas nostras de morte
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.
qui responderunt ei anima nostra sit pro vobis in mortem si tamen non prodideris nos cumque tradiderit nobis Dominus terram faciemus in te misericordiam et veritatem
15 And she let them down by the window;
dimisit ergo eos per funem de fenestra domus enim eius herebat muro
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.
dixitque ad eos ad montana conscendite ne forte occurrant vobis revertentes ibique latete diebus tribus donec redeant et sic ibitis per viam vestram
17 And the men said to her, We are clear of this thy oath.
qui dixerunt ad eam innoxii erimus a iuramento hoc quo adiurasti nos
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.
si ingredientibus nobis terram signum fuerit funiculus iste coccineus et ligaveris eum in fenestra per quam nos dimisisti et patrem tuum ac matrem fratresque et omnem cognationem tuam congregaveris in domum tuam
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.
qui ostium domus tuae egressus fuerit sanguis ipsius erit in caput eius et nos erimus alieni cunctorum autem sanguis qui tecum fuerint in domo redundabit in caput nostrum si eos aliquis tetigerit
20 But if any one should injure us, or betray these our matters, we shall be quit of this thine oath.
quod si nos prodere volueris et sermonem istum proferre in medium erimus mundi ab hoc iuramento quo adiurasti nos
21 And she said to them, Let it be according to your word; and she sent them out, and they departed.
et illa respondit sicut locuti estis ita fiat dimittensque eos ut pergerent adpendit funiculum coccineum in fenestra
22 And they came to the hill-country, and remained there three days; and the pursuers searched all the roads, and found them not.
illi vero ambulantes pervenerunt ad montana et manserunt ibi tres dies donec reverterentur qui fuerant persecuti quaerentes enim per omnem viam non reppererunt eos
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.
quibus urbem ingressis reversi sunt et descenderunt exploratores de monte et Iordane transmisso venerunt ad Iosue filium Nun narraveruntque ei omnia quae acciderant sibi
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.
atque dixerunt tradidit Dominus in manus nostras omnem terram hanc et timore prostrati sunt cuncti habitatores eius
