< Joshua 6 >

1 Now Jericho was straitly shut up because of the children of Israel: none went out, and none came in.
Ary nihidy mafy Jeriko tamin’ izany noho ny Zanak’ Isiraely: tsy nisy nivoaka, ary tsy nisy niditra.
2 And Yhwh said unto Joshua, See, I have given into thine hand Jericho, and the king thereof, and the mighty men of valour.
Ary hoy Jehovah tamin’ i Josoa: Indro, efa natolotro eo an-tananao Jeriko sy ny mpanjakany mbamin’ ny lehilahy mahery.
3 And ye shall compass the city, all ye men of war, and go round about the city once. Thus shalt thou do six days.
Koa mandehana manodidina ny tanàna indray mandeha ianareo mpanafika rehetra; henemana no hanaovanao izany.
4 And seven priests shall bear before the ark seven trumpets of rams’ horns: and the seventh day ye shall compass the city seven times, and the priests shall blow with the trumpets.
Ary asio mpisorona fito mitondra anjomara fito mafy faneno eo alohan’ ny fiara; ary amin’ ny andro fahafito dia hodidino impito ny tanàna, ary aoka ny mpisorona hitsoka ny anjomara.
5 And it shall come to pass, that when they make a long blast with the ram’s horn, and when ye hear the sound of the trumpet, all the people shall shout with a great shout; and the wall of the city shall fall down flat, and the people shall ascend up every man straight before him.
Ary raha manao feo lavareny ny anjomara mafy faneno, ka renareo ny feon’ ny anjomara, dia hanakora mafy ny vahoaka rehetra; ka dia hirodana amin’ izay ny màndan’ ny tanàna, ary hiakatra samy hizotra amin’ izay hitsiny avy ny olona.
6 And Joshua the son of Nun called the priests, and said unto them, Take up the ark of the covenant, and let seven priests bear seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the ark of Yhwh.
Dia niantso ny mpisorona Josoa, zanak’ i Nona, ka nanao taminy hoe: Ento ny fiaran’ ny fanekena, ary asio mpisorona fito mitondra anjomara fito mafy faneno eo alohan’ ny fiaran’ i Jehovah.
7 And he said unto the people, Pass on, and compass the city, and let him that is armed pass on before the ark of Yhwh.
Dia hoy izy tamin’ ny vahoaka: Mandehana, ka manodidina ny tanàna, ary aoka ny olona efa voaomana hiady handeha eo alohan’ ny fiaran’ i Jehovah.
8 And it came to pass, when Joshua had spoken unto the people, that the seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams’ horns passed on before Yhwh, and blew with the trumpets: and the ark of the covenant of Yhwh followed them.
Ary rehefa niteny tamin’ ny vahoaka Josoa, dia nandeha ireo mpisorona fito nitondra ny anjomara fito mafy faneno teo alohan’ i Jehovah ka nitsoka ny anjomara; ary ny fiaran’ ny faneken’ i Jehovah nanaraka azy.
9 And the armed men went before the priests that blew with the trumpets, and the rereward came after the ark, the priests going on, and blowing with the trumpets.
Ary ny olona efa voaomana hiady dia nandeha teo alohan’ ny mpisorona izay nitsoka ny anjomara, ary ny vodi-lalana nanaraka ny fiara; ary notsofina teny am-pandehanana ny anjomara.
10 And Joshua had commanded the people, saying, Ye shall not shout, nor make any noise with your voice, neither shall any word proceed out of your mouth, until the day I bid you shout; then shall ye shout.
Ary ny vahoaka efa noraran’ i Josoa hoe: Aza manakora na mamoaka feo na miloa-bava akory aza mandra-pahatongan’ ny andro hanaovako aminareo hoe: Manakorà! dia vao amin’ izay ianareo no hanakora.
11 So the ark of Yhwh compassed the city, going about it once: and they came into the camp, and lodged in the camp.
Ary nanodidina ny tanàna indray mandeha ny fiaran’ i Jehovah; dia nankany an-toby ny olona ka nitoetra tany.
12 And Joshua rose early in the morning, and the priests took up the ark of Yhwh.
Dia nifoha maraina koa Josoa, ary ny mpisorona nitondra ny fiaran’ i Jehovah.
13 And seven priests bearing seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the ark of Yhwh went on continually, and blew with the trumpets: and the armed men went before them; but the rereward came after the ark of Yhwh, the priests going on, and blowing with the trumpets.
Ary ny mpisorona fito izay nitondra ny anjomara fito mafy faneno teo alohan’ ny fiaran’ i Jehovah dia nandeha mandrakariva ka nitsoka ny anjomara; ary ny olona efa voaomana hiady dia nandeha teo alohany; ary ny vodi-lalana kosa dia nanaraka ny fiaran’ i Jehovah; ary notsofina teny am-pandehanana ny anjomara.
14 And the second day they compassed the city once, and returned into the camp: so they did six days.
Dia nanodidina ny tanàna indray mandeha koa izy tamin’ ny andro faharoa ka niverina tany an-toby; henemana no nanaovany toy izany.
15 And it came to pass on the seventh day, that they rose early about the dawning of the day, and compassed the city after the same manner seven times: only on that day they compassed the city seven times.
Ary tamin’ ny andro fahafito dia nifoha maraina koa izy, raha mbola nazava ratsy ny andro ka nanodidina ny tanàna impito toy ny nataony teo, nefa tamin’ izany andro izany ihany no nanodidina ny tanàna impito izy.
16 And it came to pass at the seventh time, when the priests blew with the trumpets, Joshua said unto the people, Shout; for Yhwh hath given you the city.
Ary tamin’ ny nandehanany fanimpitony, raha nitsoka ny anjomara ny mpisorona, dia hoy Josoa tamin’ ny vahoaka: Manakorà! fa efa nomen’ i Jehovah anareo ny tanàna.
17 And the city shall be accursed, even it, and all that are therein, to Yhwh: only Rahab the harlot shall live, she and all that are with her in the house, because she hid the messengers that we sent.
Dia hatolotra ho an’ i Jehovah ho zavatra voaozona ny tanàna sy izay rehetra ao; fa Rahaba janga ihany no hovelomina, dia izy sy izay rehetra ao aminy ao an-trano, satria nanafina ny iratsika izy.
18 And ye, in any wise keep yourselves from the accursed thing, lest ye make yourselves accursed, when ye take of the accursed thing, and make the camp of Israel a curse, and trouble it.
Kanefa mitandrema kosa ianareo ny amin’ ny zavatra voaozona, fandrao manolotra zavatra ho voaozona ianareo, nefa maka amin’ ny zavatra voaozona kosa, ka mahatonga ny tobin’ ny Isiraely ho voaozona ary mampidi-doza aminy.
19 But all the silver, and gold, and vessels of brass and iron, are consecrated unto Yhwh: they shall come into the treasury of Yhwh.
Fa ny volafotsy sy ny volamena rehetra ary ny fanaka varahina sy vy dia masìna ho an’ i Jehovah; hatao ao amin’ ny rakitr’ i Jehovah izany.
20 So the people shouted when the priests blew with the trumpets: and it came to pass, when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, and the people shouted with a great shout, that the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they took the city.
Dia nanakora ny olona, ary notsofina ny anjomara; ary nony ren’ ny vahoaka ny feon’ ny anjomara, dia nanakora mafy izy, ka nirodana tamin’ izay ny manda, ary niakatra tao an-tanàna samy nizotra tamin’ izay hitsiny avy ny olona, ka afaka ny tanàna.
21 And they utterly destroyed all that was in the city, both man and woman, young and old, and ox, and sheep, and donkey, with the edge of the sword.
Ary naringany tamin’ ny lelan-tsabatra izay rehetra tao an-tanana, na lehilahy na vehivavy, na tanora na antitra, na omby, na ondry aman’ osy, na boriky.
22 But Joshua had said unto 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 hath, as ye sware unto her.
Ary izy roa lahy izay efa nisafo ny tany dia efa nilazan’ i Josoa hoe: Mankanesa ao amin’ ny tranon’ ilay vehivavy janga, ka ento mivoaka ravehivavy sy ny havany rehetra ary izay mety ho azy, araka izay nianiananareo taminy.
23 And the young men that were spies went in, and brought out Rahab, and her father, and her mother, and her brethren, and all that she had; and they brought out all her kindred, and left them without the camp of Israel.
Dia nankao ireo zatovo nisafo ireo ka nitondra an-dRahaba nivoaka sy ny rainy aman-dreniny sy ny anadahiny ary ny havany rehetra mbamin’ izay nety ho azy; dia nitondra ny mpianakaviny rehetra nivoaka izy ka nametraka azy teo ivelan’ ny tobin’ ny Isiraely.
24 And they burnt the city with fire, and all that was therein: only the silver, and the gold, and the vessels of brass and of iron, they put into the treasury of the house of Yhwh.
Ary ny tanàna sy izay rehetra tao dia nodorany tamin’ ny afo, nefa ny volafotsy sy ny volamena ary ny fanaka varahina sy vy dia nataony tao amin’ ny rakitry ny tranon’ i Jehovah.
25 And Joshua saved Rahab the harlot alive, and her father’s household, and all that she had; and she dwelleth in Israel even unto this day; because she hid the messengers, which Joshua sent to spy out Jericho.
Fa Rahaba janga sy ny ankohonan’ ny rainy sy ny havany rehetra mbamin’ izay nety ho azy dia novelomin’ i Josoa, ary mitoetra eo amin’ ny Isiraely mandraka androany ravehivavy, satria nanafina ny iraka izay efa nirahin’ i Josoa hisafo an’ i Jeriko izy.
26 And Joshua adjured them at that time, saying, Cursed be the man before Yhwh, that riseth up and buildeth this city Jericho: he shall lay the foundation thereof in his firstborn, and in his youngest son shall he set up the gates of it.
Dia nilaza fanozonana Josoa tamin’ izany andro izany ka nanao hoe: Ho voaozona eo anatrehan’ i Jehovah izay olona mitsangana manorina ity tanàna Jeriko ity indray; ny ain’ ny lahimatoany no ho sazin’ ny hanorenany ny fanambaniny, ary ny ain’ ny faralahiny no ho sazin’ ny hananganany ny vavahadiny.
27 So Yhwh was with Joshua; and his fame was noised throughout all the country.
Ary Jehovah nomba an’ i Josoa, ka niely tamin’ ny tany rehetra ny lazany.
