Joshua 2
1 And so Joshua, the son of Nun, sent two men from Shittim to explore in secret. And he said to them, “Go and consider the land and the city of Jericho.” And while traveling, they entered into the house of a harlot woman named Rahab, and they rested with her.
At si Josue na anak ni Nun ay nagsugong lihim mula sa Sittim ng dalawang lalake na pinakatiktik, na sinasabi, Yumaon kayo na inyong kilalanin ang lupain, at ang Jerico. At sila'y yumaon at pumasok sa isang bahay ng isang patutot na ang pangalan ay Rahab, at nakituloy doon.
2 And it was reported to the king of Jericho, and it was said: “Behold, men have entered to this place in the night, from the sons of Israel, so that they might explore the land.”
At ito'y nasaysay sa hari sa Jerico, na sinasabi, Narito, may mga lalake, sa mga anak ni Israel na pumasok dito ngayong gabi upang kilalanin ang lupain.
3 And the king of Jericho sent to Rahab, saying: “Bring out the men who came to you, and who entered into your house. For certainly they are spies, and they have arrived to consider the entire land.”
At ang hari sa Jerico ay nagsugo kay Rahab, na sinasabi, Ilabas mo ang mga lalake na naparito sa iyo, na pumasok sa iyong bahay; sapagka't sila'y naparito upang kilalanin ang buong lupain.
4 And the woman, taking the men, hid them. And she said: “I admit that they came to me, but I did not know where they were from.
At ipinagsama ng babae ang dalawang lalake at ikinubli, at sinabi niya, Oo, ang mga lalake ay naparito sa akin, nguni't hindi ko talastas kung sila'y taga saan:
5 And when the gate was closed, they went out together in the darkness. I do not know where they have gone. Pursue them quickly, and you will overtake them.”
At nangyari, sa may oras ng pagsasara ng pintuang-bayan, nang madilim na, na ang mga lalake ay lumabas; hindi ko talastas kung saan naparoon ang mga lalaking yaon; habulin ninyong madali sila; sapagka't inyo silang aabutan.
6 But she caused the men to ascend to the roof of her house, and she covered them with the stalks of flax that were there.
Nguni't kaniyang isinampa sila sa bubungan, at ikinubli sa mga puno ng lino, na kaniyang inilagay na maayos sa bubungan.
7 But those who had been sent pursued after them along the way that leads to the ford of the Jordan. And as soon as they went out, the gate was closed.
At hinabol ng mga tao sila sa daan na patungo sa Jordan hanggang sa mga tawiran: at pagkalabas ng humabol sa kanila, ay kanilang sinarhan ang pintuang-bayan.
8 Those who were hiding had not yet fallen asleep, and behold, the woman went up to them, and she said:
At bago sila nahiga, ay sinampa niya sila sa bubungan.
9 “I know that the Lord has given this land to you. For the terror of you has fallen upon us, and all the inhabitants of the land have languished.
At sinabi niya sa mga lalake, Talastas ko na ibinigay sa inyo ng Panginoon ang lupain, at dinatnan kami ng pangingilabot sa inyo at ang lahat na nananahan sa lupain ay nauupos sa harap ninyo.
10 We have heard that the Lord dried up the water of the Red Sea upon your arrival, when you were departing from Egypt, and we heard of the things that you did to the two kings of the Amorites, who were beyond the Jordan, Sihon and Og, whom you put to death.
Sapagka't aming nabalitaan kung paanong tinuyo ng Panginoon ang tubig sa Dagat na Mapula sa harap ninyo, nang kayo'y lumabas sa Egipto; at kung ano ang inyong ginawa sa dalawang hari ng mga Amorrheo, na nangasa dako roon ng Jordan, kay Sehon at kay Og, na inyong lubos na pinuksa.
11 And upon hearing these things, we were very afraid, and our heart languished. Neither did there remain in us any spirit at your arrival. For the Lord your God is the very God in heaven above and on earth below.
At pagkabalita namin, ay nanglumo ang aming puso, ni walang diwa na naiwan sa kanino mang tao, dahil sa inyo; sapagka't ang Panginoon ninyong Dios, ay siyang Dios sa langit sa itaas, at sa lupa sa ibaba.
12 Now, therefore, swear to me by the Lord that in the same way that I have acted with mercy toward you, so also shall you act toward the house of my father. And may you give me a true sign
Ngayon nga, isinasamo ko sa inyo, sumumpa kayo sa akin sa pangalan ng Panginoon, na kung paanong ako'y nagmagandang loob sa inyo ay magmamagandang loob naman kayo sa sangbahayan ng aking magulang, at bibigyan ninyo ako ng tunay na tanda;
13 that you will save my father and mother, my brothers and sisters, and all that is theirs, and that you may rescue our souls from death.”
At inyong ililigtas na buhay ang aking ama, at ang aking ina, at ang aking mga kapatid na lalake at babae, at ang lahat nilang tinatangkilik, at inyong ililigtas ang aming mga buhay sa kamatayan.
14 They responded to her: “May our lives be yours unto death, if only you do not betray us. And when the Lord will have delivered the land to us, we will act toward you with mercy and truth.”
At sinabi ng mga lalake sa kaniya, Ang aming buhay ay ilalagak namin sa inyo, kung hindi ninyo ihahayag itong aming pakay; at mangyayari, na pagka ibinigay sa amin ng Panginoon ang lupain, kami ay magmamagandang loob at magtatapat sa inyo.
15 Therefore, she sent them down from a window with a rope. For her house was joined to the wall.
Nang magkagayo'y kaniyang pinababa sila sa pamamagitan ng isang lubid sa dungawan: sapagka't ang kaniyang bahay ay nasa kuta ng bayan, at siya'y tumatahan sa kuta.
16 And she said to them: “Climb up to the mountains; otherwise, they may meet you as they are returning. And lay hidden there for three days, until they return. And then you will go on your way.”
At sinabi niya sa kanila, Pumaroon kayo sa bundok, baka kayo'y abutan ng manghahabol sa inyo; at kayo'y magkubli roon na tatlong araw, hanggang sa magsibalik ang mga manghahabol: at pagkatapos ay makayayaon kayo ng inyong lakad.
17 And they said to her: “We shall be innocent of this oath, to which you have sworn us,
At sinabi ng mga lalake sa kaniya, Kami ay hindi magpapakasala sa sumpang ito, na iyong ipinasumpa sa amin.
18 if, when we enter into the land, this scarlet cord has been placed as a sign, and you have tied it at the window by which you let us down. And so, gather your father, and mother, and brothers, and all your family into your house.
Narito, pagka kami ay pumasok sa lupain, ay iyong itatali itong panaling pula sa dungawan na iyong pinagpababaan sa amin: at iyong pipisanin sa iyo sa loob ng bahay ang iyong ama, at ang iyong ina, at ang iyong mga kapatid, at ang buong sangbahayan ng iyong ama.
19 Whoever will have exited from the door of your house, his blood will be on his own head, and we will be uninvolved. But the blood of all who will be with you in the house shall fall back upon our own head, if anyone touches them.
At mangyayari, na sinomang lalabas sa mga pintuan ng iyong bahay sa lansangan, ay mabububo sa kaniyang ulo ang kaniyang dugo at hindi namin magiging kasalanan: at sinomang kasama mo sa bahay ay mahuhulog sa aming ulo ang dugo niya, kung may magbuhat sa kaniya ng kamay.
20 But if you will have betrayed us, so that you spread this word in their midst, we will be free from this oath, to which you have sworn us.”
Nguni't kung iyong ihayag itong aming pakay, ay hindi namin ipagkakasala ang pagkapanumpa sa iyo, na iyong ipinapanumpa sa amin.
21 And she responded, “Just as you have spoken, so let it be done.” And sending them to travel on, she hung the scarlet cord at the window.
At kaniyang sinabi, Ayon sa inyong mga salita, ay siya nawang mangyari. At kaniyang pinapagpaalam sila at sila'y yumaon: at kaniyang itinali ang panaling pula sa dungawan.
22 And truly, walking on, they arrived at the mountains, and they stayed there for three days, until those who had been pursuing them returned. For having sought them along the entire way, they did not find them.
At sila'y yumaon at naparoon sa bundok, at tumahan doon na tatlong araw, hanggang sa nagsibalik ang mga manghahabol; at hinanap sila ng mga manghahabol sa lahat ng daan, nguni't hindi sila nasumpungan.
23 And when they returned and entered the city, the explorers descended from the mountain. And crossing the Jordan, they went to Joshua, the son of Nun, and they reported to him all that had happened to them.
Nang magkagayo'y nagsibalik ang dalawang lalake at bumaba sa bundok, at tumawid at naparoon kay Josue na anak ni Nun; at kanilang isinaysay sa kaniya ang lahat na nangyari sa kanila.
24 And they said, “The Lord has delivered this entire land into our hands, and all its inhabitants have been struck down by fear.”
At kanilang sinabi kay Josue, Tunay na ibinigay ng Panginoon sa ating mga kamay ang buong lupain; at bukod dito'y nangliliit ang lahat na nananahan sa lupain sa harap natin.
