Joshua 6
1 Now Iericho was shut vp, and closed, because of the children of Israel: none might go out nor enter in.
Ma e mechiri ọnụ ụzọ e si abata Jeriko nke ọma, nʼihi ụmụ Izrel. Ọ dịghị onye ọbụla na-apụ nʼezi, ọ dịghịkwa onye na-abata nʼime ya.
2 And the Lord saide vnto Ioshua, Behold, I haue giuen into thine hand Iericho and the King thereof, and the strong men of warre.
Ma Onyenwe anyị gwara Joshua sị, “Lee, enyefela m obodo a bụ Jeriko, ya na eze ya, na ndị dị ike ibu agha nọ nʼime ya, nʼaka gị.
3 All ye therefore that be men of warre, shall compasse the citie, in going round about the citie once: thus shall you doe sixe dayes:
Gị na ndị agha gị zọọnụ ije gburugburu obodo a. Unu ga-ejegharị gburugburu mgbidi obodo a otu ugbo nʼụbọchị. Unu ga-esi otu a jegharịa ụbọchị isii.
4 And seuen Priests shall beare seuen trumpets of rams hornes before the Arke: and the seuenth day ye shall compasse the citie seuen times, and the Priests shall blow with the trumpets.
Ndị nchụaja asaa, ndị ga-eji opi mpi ebule asaa ga-ebu ụzọ gawa nʼihu. Ndị nchụaja ndị ọzọ ga-ebu igbe ọgbụgba ndụ. Nʼụbọchị nke asaa, unu ga-agba obodo ahụ gburugburu ugboro asaa. Mgbe unu na-eme nke a, ndị nchụaja asaa ahụ ga na-afụ opi mpi ebule ha.
5 And when they make a long blast with the rams horne, and ye heare the sound of the trumpet, al the people shall shoute with a great shoute: then shall the wall of the citie fall downe flat, and the people shall ascend vp, euery man streight before him.
Emesịa, ndị nchụaja ga-afụsi opi ahụ ike otu ugbo ọzọ, ha ga-afụ ya ka ọ daa ụda nke ukwu. Mgbe mmadụ niile nụrụ ụda opi a, ha niile ga-eti mkpu nke ga-ada ezi ụda. Nke a ga-eme ka mgbidi obodo ahụ daa. Mgbe ahụ, onye agha ọbụla ga-esite nʼebe ọbụla ọ nọ banye nʼime obodo ahụ.”
6 Then, Ioshua the sonne of Nun called the Priests and said vnto them, Take vp the Arke of the couenant, and let seuen Priests beare seuen trumpets of rams hornes before the Arke of the Lord.
Ya mere, Joshua nwa Nun kpọrọ ndị nchụaja sị ha, “Burunu igbe ọgbụgba ndụ Onyenwe anyị ahụ, ka ndị nchụaja asaa nʼime unu werekwa opi mpi ebule buru ụzọ na-aga nʼihu ya.”
7 But he said vnto the people, Goe and compasse the citie: and let him that is armed, go forth before the Arke of the Lord.
Mgbe ahụ Joshua nyere ndị Izrel iwu sị ha, “Zọlịenụ ije! Gbaanụ obodo a gburugburu, ka ndị agha na-aga nʼihu igbe ọgbụgba ndụ Onyenwe anyị.”
8 And when Ioshua had spoken vnto the people, the seuen Priestes bare the seuen trumpets of rams hornes, and went foorth before the Arke of the Lord, and blew with the trumpets, and the Arke of the couenant of ye Lord followed them.
Mgbe Joshua gwachara ndị Izrel okwu, ndị nchụaja asaa ahụ bu opi ike nʼaka ha, nʼihu Onyenwe anyị, gafere nʼihu na-afụ opi ike ha. Ndị bu igbe ọgbụgba ndụ Onyenwe anyị sochiri ha azụ.
9 And the men of armes went before the Priestes, that blewe the trumpets: then the gathering hoste came after the Arke, as they went and blewe the trumpets.
Ndị agha na-aga nʼihu ndị nchụaja bụ ndị na-afụ opi ike, ebe ndị agha ndị ọzọ na-esote igbe ọgbụgba ndụ nʼazụ. Nʼoge a niile ha na-azọ ije, ndị na-afụ opi ike gara nʼihu na-eme nke a.
10 (Nowe Ioshua had commanded the people, saying, Ye shall nor shout, neither make any noyse with your voyce, neither shall a worde proceede out of your mouth, vntill the day that I say vnto you, Shout, then shall ye shoute)
Ma Joshua nyere ndị Izrel iwu sị ha, “Unu emela mkpọtụ agha ọbụla, maọbụ kwee ka anụ olu unu, maọbụ kwuo okwu ọbụla, tutu ruo ụbọchị m ga-asị unu tie mkpu. Mgbe m nyere unu iwu a, tienụ ezi mkpu.”
11 So the Arke of the Lord compassed the citie, and went about it once: then they returned into the hoaste, and lodged in the campe.
Ya mere, e buuru igbe ọgbụgba ndụ Onyenwe anyị ahụ jegharịa obodo ahụ gburugburu otu ugboro nʼụbọchị ahụ. Mgbe ha mesịrị nke a, onye ọbụla laghachiri nʼebe ụlọ ikwu ya dị rahụ ụra abalị.
12 And Ioshua rose early in the morning, and the Priestes bare the Arke of the Lord:
Joshua biliri nʼisi ụtụtụ echi ya, ndị nchụaja bulikwara igbe ọgbụgba ndụ Onyenwe anyị.
13 Also seuen Priests bare seuen trumpets of rams hornes, and went before the Arke of the Lord, and going blewe with the trumpets: and the men of armes went before them, but the gathering hoste came after the Arke of the Lord, as they went and blewe the trumpets.
Ndị nchụaja asaa ahụ bu opi ike asaa ndị ahụ, na-aga nʼihu igbe ọgbụgba ndụ Onyenwe anyị, na-afụ opi ike ha na-esepụghị aka. Ndị agha nọ nʼihu ha, ebe ndị nche na-eso ndị bu igbe ọgbụgba ndụ Onyenwe anyị nʼazụ, nʼoge niile a a na-afụ opi ike ndị a na-esepụghị aka.
14 And the second day they compassed the citie once, and returned into the host: thus they did sixe dayes.
Nʼụbọchị nke abụọ, ha gbara obodo ahụ gburugburu otu ugboro, laghachikwa nʼụlọ ikwu ha. Otu a ka ha mere ruo nʼụbọchị nke isii.
15 And when the seuenth day came, they rose early, euen with the dawning of the day, and compassed the citie after ye same maner seuen times: only that day they compassed the citie seuen times.
Ma nʼisi ụtụtụ ụbọchị nke asaa, ha bilitere mgbe chi na-abọbeghị, gbaa obodo ahụ gburugburu ugboro asaa dịka ha na-eme. Ma ọ dị iche nʼụbọchị ahụ, bụ naanị na ha gbara obodo ahụ gburugburu ugboro asaa.
16 And when the Priests had blowen ye trumpets the seuenth time, Ioshua said vnto ye people, Shoute: for the Lord hath giuen you the citie.
O ruo, nʼoge njegharị nke ugboro asaa ahụ, mgbe ndị nchụaja asaa ndị a fụsiri opi ike asaa ndị ahụ ike karịa, ka Joshua gwara ndị Izrel sị ha, “Tienụ mkpu! Nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị enyela unu obodo a!
17 And the citie shalbe an execrable thing, both it, and all that are therein, vnto the Lord: onely Rahab the harlot shall liue, shee, and all that are with her in the house: for shee hid the messengers that we sent.
Gbuonụ ihe niile na-eku ume ndụ, nʼihi na obodo a na ihe niile dị nʼime ha bụ ihe e doro nsọ nye Onyenwe anyị. Ma ọ bụ naanị Rehab, nwanyị akwụna ahụ ka unu ga-ahapụ ndụ, ya na ndị ọbụla nọ nʼụlọ ya. Nʼihi na o zoro ndị anyị zigara inyochapụta obodo ahụ.
18 Notwithstanding, be ye ware of the execrable thing, lest ye make your selues execrable, and in taking of the execrable thing, make also the hoste of Israel execrable, and trouble it.
Ma unu onwe unu, wezuganụ onwe unu pụọ nʼebe ihe ndị a kwadoro mbibi dị, ka unu gharakwa iweta ịla nʼiyi nye onwe unu site na iwere ihe ọbụla nʼime ha. Ma ọ bụghị otu a, unu ga-eme ka mbibi dakwasị ụlọ ikwu ụmụ Izrel niile.
19 But all siluer, and gold, and vessels of brasse, and yron shalbe consecrate vnto the Lord, and shall come into the Lordes treasury.
Ma ihe niile e ji ọlaọcha na ọlaedo kpụọ, na ihe niile e ji bronz na igwe kpụọ, ka a ga-edo iche nye Onyenwe anyị. A ga-ewebata ha nʼụlọakụ Onyenwe anyị.”
20 So the people shouted, whe they had blowen trumpets: for when the people had heard the sound of the trumpet, they shouted with a great shoute: and the wall fel downe flat: so the people went vp into the citie, euery man streight before him: and they tooke the citie.
Mgbe ụda opi ike ahụ dasiri ike, ndị agha tiri mkpu, na ụda opi ike ahụ. Mgbe ndị ikom tiri oke mkpu, mgbidi ahụ dara dapịasịa, nke mere na onye ọbụla chere ihu banye nʼime obodo ahụ, lụgbuo obodo ahụ.
21 And they vtterly destroyed all that was in the citie, both man and woman, yong, and olde, and oxe, and sheepe, and asse, with the edge of the sword.
Ha debere obodo a iche nye Onyenwe anyị site nʼiji mma agha ha gbuchapụ ihe niile dị ndụ nʼobodo ahụ, ma nwoke, ma nwanyị, ma nwantakịrị, ma okenye, ma ehi, ma atụrụ, ma ịnyịnya ibu, ihe niile dị nʼime ya.
22 But Ioshua had said vnto the two men that had spied out the countrey, Go into the harlots house, and bring out thence the woman, and all that she hath, as ye sware to her.
Mgbe ahụ, Joshua gwara ndị ikom abụọ ahụ buru ụzọ gaa nnyochapụta obodo ahụ anya sị ha, “Mezuonụ nkwa unu kwere. Gaanụ nʼụlọ nwanyị akwụna, kpọpụta ya na ndị niile dị nʼụlọ ya.”
23 So the yong men that were spies, went in, and brought out Rahab, and her father, and her mother, and her brethren, and all that shee had: also they brought out all her familie, and put them without the host of Israel.
Ya mere, ụmụ okorobịa abụọ ahụ bụ ndị mere nledo ala ahụ, bara nʼụlọ ahụ, kpọpụta Rehab na nna ya na nne ya na ụmụnne ya na ndị ikwu ya niile. Ha kpọpụtara ndị ezinaụlọ ya niile debe ha nʼotu ebe nke dị nʼazụ ọmụma ụlọ ikwu ụmụ Izrel.
24 After they burnt the citie with fire, and all that was therein: onely the siluer and the gold, and the vessels of brasse and yron, they put vnto the treasure of the house of the Lord.
Ha kpọrọ obodo ahụ ọkụ, ya na ihe niile dị nʼime ya. Ma ha wepụtara naanị ọlaọcha na ọlaedo, na ihe niile e ji bronz na igwe kpụọ, tinye nʼụlọakụ Onyenwe anyị.
25 So Ioshua saued Rahab the harlot, and her fathers houshold, and all that shee had; and shee dwelt in Israel euen vnto this day, because shee had hid the messengers, which Ioshua sent to spie out Iericho.
Joshua mere ka Rehab, nwanyị akwụna ahụ, na ndị ezinaụlọ ya niile dịrị ndụ. Nʼihi na Rehab zoro ndị ikom abụọ Joshua zigara, mee ka ha dị ndụ, bụ ndị gara inyochapụta obodo Jeriko. Ya mere, o binyere ndị Izrel ruo taa.
26 And Ioshua sware at that time, saying, Cursed be the man before ye Lord, that riseth vp, and buildeth this citie Iericho: hee shall lay the foundation thereof in his eldest sonne, and in his yongest sonne shall hee set vp the gates of it.
Mgbe ahụ, Joshua gbara obodo Jeriko iyi sị, “Ọbụbụ ọnụ ka a na-abụ nwoke ọbụla nʼihu Onyenwe anyị nke ga-ebili wuokwa obodo Jeriko ọzọ. “Ndụ ọkpara ya ka ọ ga-eji tọọ ntọala ya niile, ndụ nwa ya nke nta, ka ọ ga-eji guzobe ọnụ ụzọ ama ya niile ọtọ.”
27 So the Lord was with Ioshua, and he was famous through all the world.
Ya mere, Onyenwe anyị nọnyeere Joshua. Akụkọ a kọrọ banyere ya gbasara nke ukwuu nʼala ahụ niile.
