< Joshua 2 >
1 Then Joshua, son of Nun, secretly sent out two spies from Shittim. “Go and explore the land, especially around Jericho,” he told them. So they went, and stayed at the house of woman named Rahab, a prostitute. There they spent the night.
Hagi anante Sitimima manine'za Nuni nemofo Josua'a tare afureno ke netre'na oku'a huznanteno, amanage huno zanasami'ne, Kantu kaziga Kenani mopafi vutna Jeriko kumara ome afuretna keso'e hi'o. Higeke vuke mago monko a' agi'a Rehapu'e nehaza a'mofo nompi ana kenagera umase'na'e.
2 But the king of Jericho was told, “Look, some Israelites have come here this evening to spy out the land.”
Hianagi mago'a vahe'mo'za vu'za Jeriko kumate kini nera amanage hu'za ome asami'naze, kva huo, meni kenage mago'a Israeli naga'mo'za mopati afure'za kenaku e'naze.
3 So the king of Jericho sent orders to Rahab, telling her, “Hand over the men who came to visit you and stay in your house, for they've come to spy out our whole country.”
Hagi Jeriko kini ne'mo'a anankema nentahino'a, amanage huta Rehapuna ome asamiho huno vahera huzmante'ne. Maka tagri mopama afure'zama kenaku'ma kagritegama e'za nonka'afima emani'naza vahera, zamavare megi'a zamatro.
4 The woman had taken the two men and had hidden them. She told the king's messengers, “Yes, it's true—the men did come to visit me, but I didn't know where they were from.
Hianagi Rehapu'a ana netre'na zanavre franekino amanage huno zamasami'ne, Tamage nagritera e'na'anagi zanagra inantegati e'na'e nagra ontahi'noe.
5 They left at sundown, just as the city gate was closing. I've no idea where they went. If you're quick, you can chase after them and maybe catch up with them.”
Hagi kinagama rankumamofo kahama erigi knama koftama nehigeke vu'na'anagi, iga vu'na'e nagra ozanage'noe. Hagi ame huta zanavaririta vanuta, ome zanazerigahaze.
6 (She had taken them up to the roof and hidden them under some bundles of flax that she had lying there.)
Hianagi Rehapu'a ana ne'trena zanavreno noma'amofo agofetu kukenama tro'ma nehaza traza anakino ante'nefi ome frakizanante'ne.
7 The king's messengers went chasing after the men down the road that leads to the Jordan River fords. As soon as the pursuers had left, the city gate was shut behind them.
Anagema hige'za ana netrema zanazerinaku zamagare'za Jodani tintega vahe'mo'zama taka'ma nehazarega nevazageno'a, rankumamofo kahana erigi'naze.
8 Before the spies went to sleep, Rachel came up to the roof to talk to them.
Hagi ana afure ne'tremoke ko'ma masezanku Rehapu'a nomote marerino,
9 She told them, “I know that the Lord has given this land to you. We're all terrified of you. Everyone who lives here is dying of fright since you people arrived.
amanage huno ome zanasami'ne, Nagra antahi'noe, ama mopa ko Ra Anumzamo tamagri tami'ne. Ana higeta tagra tamagrikura tusi'a koro nehunkeno, maka ama mopafima mani'naza vahe'mo'zanena tamagrikura koro nehu'za tusi'a zamahirahiku nehaze.
10 We've heard how the Lord dried up the waters of the Red Sea before you when you left Egypt, and what you did to the two kings of the Amorites east of the Jordan, Sihon and Og, whom you completely destroyed.
Na'ankure Isipiti'ma atreta azageno Ra Anumzamo'ma tamagri tamavufima koranke hagerima erineraneno, mopama eri hagagema higetama e'naza zana, tagra ko antahi'none. Hagi Jodani timofo kantu zage hanati kaziga Amori vahe'mokizmi kini netre zanagi'a Sihonine Oginema zanahe fri'naza zanku'enena ko antahi'none.
11 When we heard all this, our courage melted away. Nobody had any fighting spirit left because of you. For the Lord your God is God of heaven above and the earth below.
Tagrama ana kema nentahita, tamagrikura tusi koro hu'none. Na'ankure Ra Anumzana tamagri Anumzamo'a monane mopanema tro'ma hu'nea Anumza mani'ne.
12 So now promise me in the name of the Lord that because I have acted in good faith to you, then you will do the same for my family. Give me some sign that I can trust you,
E'ina hu'negu menina muse huranantoanki, Ra Anumzamofo avufi huvempa hutna, nagrama so'e navu'nava'ma huranantoankna hutna, nagri naga'ma so'ema huzmantesu'ema hanuta'a, mago avame'za nami'o.
13 that you will spare my father and mother and brothers and sisters—and all who are part of their families—that you will save them from death.”
Hagi nenfa'ma nenarera'ma nasarehe'ima nanunknahe'ine naga zami'nena, zamaza hinke'za, Israeli vahe'mo'za tahe ofriho.
14 “Our lives for yours!” the men told her. “If you don't tell anyone about this, we will treat you honestly and faithfully when the Lord gives us the land.”
Anante ana ne'tremokea Rehapuna amanage huke asami'na'e, Na'a agafare tagra amafina e'no'e, kagra vahe'ma ozamasamisanana, henkama Ra Anumzamo'ma ama mopama tamisia zupa antahigamigahune. Tagra huvempa hu'ankino anama osanukeno'a, Ra Anumzamo'a tazeri haviza hugahie.
15 Then she lowered them down by a rope through the window since the house where she lived was built into the outside of the city wall.
Anante Rehapua nomofona zaho eri kampinti nofite zanatregeke kuma keginamofo megi'a urami'na'e. Na'ankure noma'amo'a kumamofo keginare rehe'negu anara hu'ne.
16 “Run to the hills,” she told them. “That way those searching for you won't find you. Stay there three days until they've gone home, and then you can be on your way.”
Ana nehuno amanage huno zanasami'ne, Tanagriku'ma nehakaza vahe'mo'za tutagiha huznantegahazanki agonarega freta vuta tagufa kna umani'neke'za etesageta, ete e'natega vi'o.
17 The men had told her, “We will be freed from the promise you made us swear,
Higeke ana netremokea Rehapuna amanage huke asami'na'e, hanki kagrama hanketa huvempa hugante'noa kea tagrama kasamu'a kema amage'ma antesanketa'a, ana huvempa keti'a eri otregahu'e.
18 unless when we enter this land, you hang a scarlet cord in the window through which you lowered us. You must gather together in the house your father and mother and brothers—all the family.
Hanki menina antahio, ama zasi'ma eri kama atiramu'a kantera, kagra ama koranke nofira anakinte'nenka, negafama negrerama kasarehe'ima maka nagaka'anena zamavaretru hunka nonka'afi mani'nenketa tagra Israeli vahe'enena ama mopafina egahune.
19 If anyone leaves your house and is killed, that's their fault—we're not responsible for their death. But if anyone lays a hand on someone who is inside your house, we take full responsibility for their death.
Hagi naga'kafinti'ma magomo'ma kagri noma atreno, megi'a kumamofo kampima vano nehanige'zama ahe frisageno'a, e'i tagri hazenkeompage agri'a hazenke. Hianagi magomo'ma kagri nompi mani'nenige'za eme ahe frisageno'a, e'i tagri knaza megahie.
20 But if you tell anyone about this then we will be freed from the promise you made us swear.”
Hianagi tagrama e'no'a eri'zamofo nanekema vahe'ma zamasamisankeno'a, kagrama hanketama huvempama hu'no'a kemofo nona'a tagra hazenkea e'origahu'e.
21 “I agree—may it be as you say,” she replied. She sent them off, and hung a scarlet cord in the window.
Hanki Rehapua ke zanirera amanage hu'ne, Mago narimpa huanki kema ha'a kante anteno anazana fore hino, nehuno huzanantegekema nevakeno'a ana koranke nofira noma'amofo zaho'ma eri kahante anakinte'ne.
22 They went up into the hill country and stayed there three days. The men searching for them looked all along the road, but couldn't find them, so they returned home.
Hagi ana netremokea atreke agonarega vuke tagufa zagegna fraki'nake'za, zanagenema re'naza vahe'mo'za karanka hake vagare'za vu'nazanagi ozanage'za, ete rukrahe hu'za Jeriko e'naze.
23 Then the two men started back. They came down from the hill country and crossed over the Jordan. They went to Joshua and explained to him all that had happened to them.
Ana agonafintira ana netremokea uramike Jodani tina ome takaheke vuke ana maka'zama zanagrite'ma fore'ma hu'nea zana, Nuni nemofo Josuana ome asami vagare'na'e.
24 “The Lord has placed this land in our hands,” they assured him. “All the people who live there are scared to death of us!”
Anage nehuke Josuana asamike, tamagerafa huno Ra Anumzamo'a ana maka mopa tagri tazampi ante'ne. Na'ankure ana mopafima mani'naza veamo'za tagriku'ma nehu'za, zamahirahi nerege'za tusi koro nehaze.
