Joshua 2
1 And Joshua the son of Nun sent out of Shittim two spies secretly, saying: 'Go view the land, and Jericho.' And they went, and came into the house of a harlot whose name was Rahab, and lay there.
Nígbà náà ni Joṣua ọmọ Nuni rán àwọn ayọ́lẹ̀wò méjì jáde ní àṣírí láti Ṣittimu. Ó sì wí pé, “Ẹ lọ wo ilẹ̀ náà, pàápàá Jeriko.” Wọ́n sì lọ, wọ́n wọ ilé panṣágà kan, tí à ń pè ní Rahabu wọ́n sì dúró síbẹ̀.
2 And it was told the king of Jericho, saying: 'Behold, there came men in hither to-night of the children of Israel to search out the land.'
A sì sọ fún ọba Jeriko, “Wò ó! Àwọn ará Israẹli kan wá ibí ní alẹ́ yìí láti wá yọ́ ilẹ̀ yí wò.”
3 And the king of Jericho sent unto Rahab, saying: 'Bring forth the men that are come to thee, that are entered into thy house; for they are come to search out all the land.'
Ọba Jeriko sì ránṣẹ́ sí Rahabu pé, “Mú àwọn ọkùnrin nì tí ó tọ̀ ọ́ wá, tí ó wọ inú ilé rẹ jáde wá, nítorí wọ́n wá láti yọ́ gbogbo ilẹ̀ yìí wò ni.”
4 And the woman took the two men, and hid them; and she said: 'Yea, the men came unto me, but I knew not whence they were;
Ṣùgbọ́n obìnrin náà ti mú àwọn ọkùnrin méjì náà o sì fi wọ́n pamọ́. Ó sì wí pé, “Lóòtítọ́ ní àwọn ọkùnrin náà wá sí ọ̀dọ̀ mi, ṣùgbọ́n èmi kò mọ ibi tí wọ́n ti wá.
5 and it came to pass about the time of the shutting of the gate, when it was dark, that the men went out; whither the men went I know not; pursue after them quickly; for ye shall overtake them.'
Nígbà tí ilẹ̀ ṣú, nígbà tí ó tó àkókò láti ti ìlẹ̀kùn ẹnu ibodè, àwọn ọkùnrin náà sì jáde lọ. Èmi kò sì mọ ọ̀nà tí wọ́n gbà lọ. Ẹ lépa wọn kíákíá. Ẹ̀yin yóò bá wọn.”
6 But she had brought them up to the roof, and hid them with the stalks of flax, which she had spread out upon the roof.
(Ṣùgbọ́n ó ti mú wọn gòkè àjà ó sì fi wọ́n pamọ́ sí abẹ́ pòròpòrò ọkà tó tò jọ sí orí àjà.)
7 And the men pursued after them the way to the Jordan unto the fords; and as soon as they that pursued after them were gone out, the gate was shut.
Àwọn ọkùnrin náà jáde lọ láti lépa àwọn ayọ́lẹ̀wò náà ní ọ̀nà tí ó lọ sí ìwọdò Jordani, bí àwọn tí ń lépa wọn sì ti jáde, wọ́n ti ìlẹ̀kùn ẹnu ibodè.
8 And before they were laid down, she came up unto them upon the roof;
Kí àwọn ayọ́lẹ̀wò náà tó sùn ní alẹ́, ó gòkè tọ̀ wọ́n lọ lókè àjà.
9 and she said unto the men: 'I know that the LORD hath given you the land, and that your terror is fallen upon us, and that all the inhabitants of the land melt away before you.
Ó sì sọ fún wọn, “Èmi mọ̀ pé Olúwa ti fún un yín ní ilẹ̀ yìí àti pé ẹ̀rù u yín ti sọ wá di ojo dé ibi pé ìdí gbogbo àwọn tí ó n gbé ilẹ̀ yìí ti di omi nítorí i yín.
10 For we have heard how the LORD dried up the water of the Red Sea before you, when ye came out of Egypt; and what ye did unto the two kings of the Amorites, that were beyond the Jordan, unto Sihon and to Og, whom ye utterly destroyed.
Àwa ti gbọ́ bí Olúwa ti mú omi Òkun Pupa gbẹ níwájú u yín nígbà tí ẹ̀yin jáde kúrò ní ilẹ̀ Ejibiti, àti ohun tí ẹ̀yin ṣe sí Sihoni àti Ogu, àwọn ọba méjèèjì ti Amori ti ìlà-oòrùn Jordani, tí ẹ̀yin parun pátápátá.
11 And as soon as we had heard it, our hearts did melt, neither did there remain any more spirit in any man, because of you; for the LORD your God, He is God in heaven above, and on earth beneath.
Bí a ti gbọ́ nǹkan wọ̀nyí, ọkàn wa pami kò sì sí okun kankan fún wa mọ́ nítorí i yín, nítorí pé Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín ni Ọlọ́run ní òkè ọ̀run àti ní ayé.
12 Now therefore, I pray you, swear unto me by the LORD, since I have dealt kindly with you, that ye also will deal kindly with my father's house — and give me a true token —
Ǹjẹ́ nísinsin yìí, ẹ jọ̀wọ́ ẹ búra fún mi ní ti Olúwa pé ẹ̀yin yóò ṣe àánú fún ìdílé mi, nítorí pé mo ti ṣe yín ní oore. Ẹ̀yin yóò fún mi ní àmì tó dájú:
13 and save alive my father, and my mother, and my brethren, and my sisters, and all that they have, and deliver our lives from death.'
pé ẹ̀yin yóò dá ẹ̀mí baba àti ìyá mi sí; arákùnrin mi àti arábìnrin mi, àti ohun gbogbo tí wọ́n ní, àti pé ẹ̀yin yóò gbà wá là lọ́wọ́ ikú.”
14 And the men said unto her: 'Our life for yours, if ye tell not this our business; and it shall be, when the LORD giveth us the land, that we will deal kindly and truly with thee.'
“Ẹ̀mí wa fún ẹ̀mí in yín!” àwọn ọkùnrin náà mú dá a lójú. “Tí ìwọ kò bá sọ ohun tí àwa ń ṣe, àwa yóò sì fi òtítọ́ àti àánú bá ọ lò nígbà tí Olúwa bá fún wa ní ilẹ̀ náà.”
15 Then she let them down by a cord through the window; for her house was upon the side of the wall, and she dwelt upon the wall.
Nígbà náà ní ó fi okùn sọ̀ wọ́n kalẹ̀ ní ojú u fèrèsé, nítorí ilé tí ó ń gbé wà ní ara odi ìlú.
16 And she said unto them: 'Get you to the mountain, lest the pursuers light upon you; and hide yourselves there three days, until the pursuers be returned; and afterward may ye go your way.'
Ó sì ti sọ fún wọn pé, “Ẹ lọ sí orí òkè, kí ẹ sì fi ara pamọ́ níbẹ̀ fún ọjọ́ mẹ́ta kí àwọn tí ń lépa yín má ba à rí i yín títí tí wọn yóò fi darí. Lẹ́yìn náà kí ẹ máa bá ọ̀nà yín lọ.”
17 And the men said unto her: 'We will be guiltless of this thine oath which thou hast made us to swear.
Àwọn arákùnrin náà sì sọ fún un pé, “Kí ọrùn un wa ba à lè mọ́ kúrò nínú ìbúra tí ìwọ mú wa bú yìí.
18 Behold, when we come into the land, thou shalt bind this line of scarlet thread in the window which thou didst let us down by; and thou shalt gather unto thee into the house thy father, and thy mother, and thy brethren, and all thy father's household.
Nígbà tí àwa bá wọ ilé è rẹ, ìwọ yóò so okùn aláwọ̀ aró yìí sí ojú fèrèsé èyí tí ìwọ fi sọ̀ wá kalẹ̀, kí ìwọ kí ó mú baba rẹ, ìyá rẹ, àwọn arákùnrin in rẹ àti gbogbo ìdílé è rẹ kí wọ́n wá sí inú ilé è rẹ.
19 And it shall be, that whosoever shall go out of the doors of thy house into the street, his blood shall be upon his head, and we will be guiltless; and whosoever shall be with thee in the house, his blood shall be on our head, if any hand be upon him.
Bí ẹnikẹ́ni bá jáde sí ìta láti inú ilé è rẹ sí inú ìgboro ìlú, ẹ̀jẹ̀ rẹ̀ yóò sì wà ní orí ara rẹ̀; ẹ̀bi rẹ̀ yóò sì wà lórí i rẹ̀. Fún ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá wà nínú ilé pẹ̀lú rẹ, ẹ̀jẹ̀ rẹ̀ yóò wà ní orí i wa bí ẹnikẹ́ni bá fi ọwọ́ kàn án.
20 But if thou utter this our business, then we will be guiltless of thine oath which thou hast made us to swear.'
Ṣùgbọ́n bí ìwọ bá sọ ohun tí àwa ń ṣe, àwa yóò bọ́ nínú ìbúra tí ìwọ mú wa bú.”
21 And she said: 'According unto your words, so be it.' And she sent them away, and they departed; and she bound the scarlet line in the window.
Ó dáhùn pé, “Ó dára bẹ́ẹ̀. Ẹ jẹ́ kí ó rí gẹ́gẹ́ bí ẹ̀yin tí sọ.” Ó sì rán wọn lọ wọ́n sì lọ. Ó sì so okùn òdòdó náà sí ojú fèrèsé.
22 And they went, and came unto the mountain, and abode there three days, until the pursuers were returned; and the pursuers sought them throughout all the way, but found them not.
Nígbà tí wọ́n kúrò, wọ́n sì lọ sí orí òkè wọ́n sì dúró ní ibẹ̀ ní ọjọ́ mẹ́ta, títí àwọn alépa fi wá wọn ní gbogbo ọ̀nà wọ́n sì padà láìrí wọn.
23 Then the two men returned, and descended from the mountain, and passed over, and came to Joshua the son of Nun; and they told him all that had befallen them.
Nígbà náà ni àwọn ọkùnrin méjì náà padà. Wọ́n sì sọ̀kalẹ̀ láti orí òkè, wọ odò, wọ́n sì wá sí ọ̀dọ̀ Joṣua ọmọ Nuni wọ́n sì sọ fún un gbogbo ohun tí ó ti ṣẹlẹ̀ sí wọn.
24 And they said unto Joshua: 'Truly the LORD hath delivered into our hands all the land; and moreover all the inhabitants of the land do melt away before us.'
Wọ́n sì sọ fún Joṣua, “Nítòótọ́ ni Olúwa tí fi gbogbo ilẹ̀ náà lé wa lọ́wọ́; gbogbo olùgbé ilẹ̀ náà ni ìbẹ̀rùbojo ti mú nítorí i wa.”
