Joshua 6
1 Now Jericho was shut up and was barred, because of the children of Israel: none went out, and none came in.
Wɔtotoo Yeriko apon mu papee, efisɛ na wosuro Israelfo no. Wɔamma obiara kwan ma wankɔ mu anaa wamfi adi.
2 And Jehovah said to Joshua, See, I have given into thy hand Jericho, and the king thereof, [and] the valiant men.
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Yosua se, “Mede Yeriko, ɛhɔ hene ne ɛhɔ akofo nyinaa ahyɛ wo nsa.
3 And ye shall go round the city, all the men of war, encompassing the city once. Thus shalt thou do six days.
Ma wo nsraadɔm no nyinaa mmɔ nsra ntwa kuropɔn no ho nhyia pɛnkoro da biara nnansia.
4 And seven priests shall carry before the ark seven blast-trumpets; and on the seventh day ye shall go round the city seven times, and the priests shall blow with the trumpets.
Asɔfo baason a wokurakura adwennini mmɛn abɛn bedi Adaka no anim. Da a ɛto so ason no, ɛsɛ sɛ mobɔ nsra twa kuropɔn no ho mpɛn ason, a asɔfo no rehyɛn mmɛn no.
5 And it shall come to pass when they make a long blast with the blast-horn, that all the people on hearing the sound of the trumpet shall shout with a great shout; and the wall of the city shall fall flat, and the people shall go up, each one straight before him.
Sɛ mote sɛ asɔfo no hyɛn mmɛn no denneennen ma ɛkyɛ a, nnipa no nyinaa mmɔ nnye so. Afei kuropɔn no afasu nyinaa bedwiriw agu fam, na nnipa no betumi atow ahyɛ kuropɔn no so.”
6 And Joshua the son of Nun called the priests, and said to them, Carry the ark of the covenant, and seven priests shall carry seven blast-trumpets before the ark of Jehovah.
Na Yosua frɛɛ asɔfo no ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Momfa Apam Adaka no na mo mu baason nni anim a wokurakura mmɛn.”
7 And he said to the people, Pass on, go round the city, and they that are armed shall pass on before the ark of Jehovah.
Enti, ɔhyɛɛ nnipa no se, “Mommɔ nsra mfa kuropɔn no ho na wɔn a wokurakura akode no bedi Awurade adaka no anim.”
8 And it came to pass when Joshua had spoken to the people, that the seven priests carrying the seven blast-trumpets before Jehovah passed on and blew with the trumpets; and the ark of the covenant of Jehovah went after them.
Yosua kasa kyerɛɛ nnipa no wiei no, asɔfo baason a wokurakura mmɛn no fii ase bɔɔ nsra wɔ Awurade anim a wɔrehyɛn mmɛn no. Na asɔfo a wɔso Awurade Apam Adaka no dii wɔn akyi.
9 And the armed men went before the priests who blew with the trumpets, and the rearguard came after the ark; they blew with the trumpets in marching.
Wɔn a wokurakura akode no bi bɔɔ nsra wɔ asɔfo no a wɔrehyɛn mmɛn no anim, na bi nso bɔɔ nsra wɔ asɔfo a wɔso Adaka no akyi, bere a asɔfo no gu so rehyɛn mmɛn no.
10 And Joshua had commanded the people, saying, Ye shall not shout, nor let your voice be heard, neither shall a word proceed out of your mouth, until the day I say to you, Shout; then shall ye shout.
Yosua hyɛe se, “Monnteɛ mu na monnkasa mpo. Mommma asɛm biara mfi mo anum, kosi sɛ mɛka akyerɛ mo se monteɛ mu na moateɛ mu.”
11 And the ark of Jehovah went round the city, encompassing [it] once; and they came into the camp, and lodged in the camp.
Enti, da no, wɔsoaa Awurade Adaka no twaa kuropɔn no ho pɛnkoro. Na afei obiara san kɔɔ atenae hɔ kɔhomee anadwo no.
12 And Joshua rose early in the morning, and the priests carried the ark of Jehovah.
Ade kyee no Yosua sɔree anɔpahema, na asɔfo no soaa Awurade Adaka no bio.
13 And the seven priests carrying the seven blast-trumpets before the ark of Jehovah went on and blew continually with the trumpets; and the armed men went before them, and the rearguard went after the ark of Jehovah; they blew with the trumpets in marching.
Asɔfo baason a wokurakura adwennimmɛn mmɛn no bɔɔ nsra wɔ Awurade Adaka no anim, a wɔrehyɛn wɔn mmɛn. Wɔn a wokurakura akode no bi nso bɔɔ nsra wɔ asɔfo a wokurakura mmɛn no anim ne Awurade Adaka no akyi. Saa bere no nyinaa na asɔfo no rehyɛn wɔn mmɛn no.
14 And on the second day they went round the city once, and returned into the camp. So they did six days.
Da a ɛto so abien no, wɔbɔɔ nsra twaa kuropɔn no ho pɛnkoro, na wɔsan kɔɔ atenae hɔ. Wɔkɔɔ so yɛɛ saa ara nnansia.
15 And it was so that on the seventh day they rose early, about the morning-dawn, and went round the city after the same manner seven times; only on that day they went round the city seven times.
Da a ɛto so ason no, Israelfo no sɔree anɔpahema, bɔɔ nsra twaa kuropɔn no ho hyiae, sɛnea wɔayɛ dedaw no. Nanso, saa bere yi de, wɔbɔɔ nsra twaa kuropɔn no ho mpɛn ason.
16 And it came to pass the seventh time, when the priests blew with the trumpets, that Joshua said to the people, Shout; for Jehovah has given you the city.
Ne mpɛn ason so no, bere a asɔfo no hyɛn wɔn mmɛn denneennen ma ɛkyɛe no, Yosua hyɛɛ ɔmanfo no se, “Monteɛteɛ mu! Na Awurade de kuropɔn no ama mo!
17 And the city shall be accursed, it and all that is in it, to Jehovah; only Rahab the harlot shall live, she and all that are with her in the house, because she hid the messengers that we sent.
Kuropɔn no ne emu nneɛma no, ɛsɛ sɛ mosɛe ne nyinaa sɛ afɔrebɔde ma Awurade. Oguamanfo Rahab ne ne fifo nko na ɛsɛ sɛ wogyaw wɔn, efisɛ ɔbɔɔ akwansrafo no ho ban.
18 But in any wise keep from the accursed thing, lest ye make [yourselves] accursed in taking of the accursed thing, and make the camp of Israel a curse, and trouble it.
Mommmfa nneɛma a ɛsɛ sɛ wɔsɛe no no mu biara, sɛ mofa a, mo ankasa na wɔbɛsɛe mo korakora na mode ɔhaw bɛbrɛ Israel nyinaa.
19 And all the silver, and gold, and vessels of copper and iron, shall be holy to Jehovah; they shall come into the treasury of Jehovah.
Biribiara a wɔde dwetɛ, sikakɔkɔɔ, kɔbere mfrafrae anaa dade ayɛ no yɛ kronkron ma Awurade, enti ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde ba nʼadekorabea hɔ.”
20 And the people shouted, and they blew with the trumpets. And it came to pass when the people heard the sound of the trumpets, and the people shouted with a great shout, that the wall fell down flat; and the people went up into the city, each one straight before him, and they took the city.
Bere a nnipa no tee mmɛn no nnyigyei no, wɔteɛteɛɛ mu denneennen sɛnea wobetumi. Prɛko pɛ Yeriko afasu no dwiriw guu fam maa Israelfo no fi afanan nyinaa tow hyɛɛ kuropɔn no so na wɔfae.
21 And they utterly destroyed all that was in the city; both man and woman, young and old, and ox, and sheep, and ass, with the edge of the sword.
Wɔsɛee biribiara a ɛwɔ kuropɔn no mu pasaa, mmarima ne mmea, mmofra ne mpanyin, anantwi, nguan, mfurum ne biribiara.
22 And Joshua said to the two men that had spied out the country, Go into the harlot's house and bring out thence the woman, and all that she has, as ye swore unto her.
Afei, Yosua ka kyerɛɛ akwansrafo baanu no se, “Munni mo bɔhyɛ no so. Monkɔ oguamanfo no fi na monkɔfa no ne nʼabusuafo nyinaa mmra.”
23 And the young men, the spies, went in and brought out Rahab, and her father, and her mother, and her brethren, and all that she had: all her kindred did they bring out, and they left them outside the camp of Israel.
Mmerante no kɔfaa Rahab, nʼagya, ne na, ne nuabarimanom ne abusuafo a na wɔwɔ ne nkyɛn no nyinaa bae. Wɔde abusuafo no nyinaa kosiee baabi a ɔhaw biara nni hɔ na ɛbɛn Israelfo atenae.
24 And they burned the city with fire, and all that was therein; only the silver, and the gold, and the vessels of copper and of iron, they put into the treasury of the house of Jehovah.
Afei, Israelfo no hyew kuropɔn no ne emu nneɛma nyinaa. Nneɛma a wɔanhyew no yɛ nea wɔde dwetɛ, sikakɔkɔɔ, kɔbere mfrafrae anaa dade ayɛ. Wɔde ne nyinaa kosiee Awurade fi adekoradan mu.
25 And Joshua saved alive Rahab the harlot, and her father's household, and all that she had, and she dwelt in the midst of Israel to this day; because she hid the messengers whom Joshua had sent to spy out Jericho.
Enti, Yosua amfa ne nsa anka oguamanfo Rahab ne nʼabusuafo a na wɔka ne ho wɔ fie no, efisɛ ɔde akwansrafo a Yosua somaa wɔn Yeriko no siei. Enti ɔte Israelfo mu besi nnɛ.
26 And Joshua swore at that time, saying, Cursed be the man before Jehovah who shall rise up and build this city Jericho! In his first-born shall he lay its foundation, and in his youngest son shall he set up its gates.
Saa bere no, Yosua kaa saa nnome nsɛm yi: “Awurade nnome mmra obiara a ɔyɛ nʼadwene sɛ ɔbɛkyekyere Yeriko kuropɔn no bio. “Ɔde nʼabakan na ebefi ase, na ɔde nʼakumaa na ebesisi ano apon.”
27 And Jehovah was with Joshua; and his fame was in all the land.
Na Awurade kaa Yosua ho na ne din hyetaa asase no so nyinaa.
