< Joshua 2 >

1 And Joshua son of Nun silently sends two men, spies, from Shittim, saying, “Go, see the land—and Jericho”; and they go and come into the house of a woman, a harlot, and her name [is] Rahab, and they lie down there.
Markaasaa Yashuuca ina Nuun wuxuu Shitiim si qarsoon uga diray laba nin oo basaasyo ah, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Bal taga oo soo ilaaleeya dalka iyo magaalada Yerixoo. Markaasay tageen, oo waxay galeen guri naag dhillo ah oo magaceeda la odhan jiray Raxab, oo halkaasay jiifsadeen.
2 And it is told to the king of Jericho, saying, “Behold, men have come in here tonight, from the sons of Israel, to search the land.”
Oo markaasaa boqorkii Yerixoo loo sheegay oo lagu yidhi, Niman reer binu Israa'iil ah ayaa caawa magaalada yimid si ay dalka u ilaaleeyaan.
3 And the king of Jericho sends to Rahab, saying, “Bring out the men who are coming to you, who have come into your house, for they have come to search the entirety of the land.”
Markaasaa boqorkii Yerixoo cid u diray Raxab, oo ku yidhi, Soo bixi nimankii kuu yimid oo gurigaaga galay, waayo, waxay u yimaadeen si ay dalka oo dhan u ilaaleeyaan.
4 And the woman takes the two men, and hides them, and says thus: “The men came to me, and I have not known where they [are] from;
Laakiin naagtii mar horay kaxaysay labadii nin, wayna qarisay; oo waxay tidhi, Haah, nimankii waa ii yimaadeen, laakiinse ma aan garanaynin meel ay ka yimaadeen,
5 and it comes to pass—the gate is to [be] shut—in the dark, and the men have gone out; I have not known to where the men have gone; pursue, hurry after them, for you overtake them”;
oo markii iridda la xidhi lahaa oo ay gudcur noqotay ayay nimankii baxeen. Meeshii nimankii tageenna anigu garan maayo; haddaba dhaqso u raacdeeya, waayo, waad gaadhi karaysaan.
6 and she has caused them to go up on the roof, and hides them with the flax wood, which is arranged for her on the roof.
Laakiinse waxay iyagii keentay saqafkii dushiisa, oo waxay ku qarisay caws linen la yidhaahdo oo ay qummaati ugu dhigtay saqafka dushiisa.
7 And the men have pursued after them the way of the Jordan, by the fords, and they have shut the gate afterward when the pursuers have gone out after them.
Nimankiina markaasay u raacdaysteen xagga Webi Urdun ilaa meeshii laga gudbi jiray; oo isla markii kuwii iyaga raacdaynayay baxeen ayaa iriddii la xidhay.
8 And before they lie down, she has gone up to them on the roof,
Oo intaanay seexan ka hor ayaa naagtii saqafkii ugu timid iyagii,
9 and she says to the men, “I have known that YHWH has given the land to you, and that your terror has fallen on us, and that all the inhabitants of the land have melted at your presence.
oo waxay nimankii ku tidhi, Anigu waan ogahay in Rabbigu dalka idin siiyey, oo cabsidiinnii baa nagu dhacday, iyo in kuwa dalka deggan oo dhammu ay hortiinna ku dhalaaleen.
10 For we have heard how YHWH dried up the waters of the Red Sea at your presence, in your going out of Egypt, and that which you have done to the two kings of the Amorite who [are] beyond the Jordan; to Sihon and to Og whom you devoted.
Waayo, waxaannu maqalnay sidii Rabbigu hortiinna uga engejiyey biyihii Badda Cas, markii aad Masar ka soo baxdeen, iyo wixii aad ku samayseen labadii boqor oo Siixon iyo Coog oo ahaa reer Amor, ee joogay Webi Urdun shishadiisa, oo aad wada baabbi'iseen.
11 And we hear, and our heart melts, and there has not stood anymore spirit in [any] man from your presence, for He, your God YHWH, [is] God in the heavens above and on the earth below.
Oo isla markii aannu maqalnay ayaannu dhalaalnay, oo idinka daraaddiin ninna xoog kuma hadhin; maxaa yeelay, Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ahu waa Ilaaha samada sare iyo dhulka hooseba jooga.
12 And now, please swear to me by YHWH—because I have done kindness with you—that you have done, even you, kindness with the house of my father, and have given a true token to me,
Haddaba sidaas daraaddeed waan idin baryayaaye, Rabbiga iigu dhaarta inaad reerka aabbahay ugu roonaanaysaan sidaan idiinku roonaaday oo kale, oo i siiya calaamo run ah;
13 and have kept alive my father, and my mother, and my brothers, and my sisters, and all that they have, and have delivered our souls from death.”
iyo inaad badbaadinaysaan aabbahay, iyo hooyaday, iyo walaalahay, iyo waxay haystaan oo dhan, iyo inaad naftayada dhimasho ka samatabbixinaysaan.
14 And the men say to her, “Our soul to die for yours; if you do not declare this—our matter, then it has been, in YHWH’s giving this land to us, that we have done kindness and truth with you.”
Markaasaa nimankii waxay naagtii ku yidhaahdeen, Naftayadu waxay u bixi doontaa tiinna, haddaydnan sheegin xaalkayaga, oo markii Rabbigu dalka na siiyo roonaan iyo daacadnimo ayaannu kugula macaamiloon doonnaa.
15 And she causes them to go down by a rope through the window, for her house [is] in the side of the wall, and she [is] dwelling in the wall;
Kolkaasay xadhig daaqadda kaga dhex dejisay, waayo, gurigeedu wuxuu ku yiil magaalada derbigeeda, oo waxay degganayd derbiga dushiisa.
16 and she says to them, “Go to the mountain, lest the pursuers come on you; and you have been hidden there three days until the turning back of the pursuers, and afterward you go on your way.”
Oo waxay iyagii ku tidhi, Buurta xaggeeda taga, yaan raacdadu idin heline, oo intii saddex maalmood ah halkaas ku dhuunta, ilaa ay raacdadu ka soo noqonayso; dabadeedna jidkiinna iska mara.
17 And the men say to her, “We are acquitted of this, your oath, which you have caused us to swear:
Kolkaasaa nimankii waxay iyadii ku yidhaahdeen, Bal ogow, annagu eed kuma yeelan doonno dhaartaadan aad nagu dhaarisay.
18 behold, we are coming into the land, bind this line of scarlet thread to the window by which you have caused us to go down, and gather your father, and your mother, and your brothers, and all the house of your father to you, to the house;
Markii aannu dalka nimaadno, xadhiggan dunta guduudan ah waa inaad ku xidhaa daaqaddii aad naga dejisay. Oo waa inaad guriga gudihiisa ku soo urursataa aabbahaa, iyo hooyadaa, iyo walaalahaa, iyo reerka aabbahaa oo dhan.
19 and it has been, anyone who goes out from the doors of your house outside, his blood [is] on his head, and we are innocent; and anyone who is with you in the house, his blood [is] on our head, if a hand is on him;
Oo waxay ahaan doontaa, in ku alla kii ka baxa albaabbada gurigaaga oo jidka maraba, uu dhiiggiisu ahaan doono dushiisa, oo annana aannan eed ku yeelanaynin, iyo in ku alla kii guriga kugula jira haddii far la saaro, uu dhiiggiisu dushayada ahaan doono.
20 and if you declare this—our matter, then we have been acquitted from your oath which you have caused us to swear.”
Laakiinse haddaad xaalkayaga sheegto, de markaas eed kuma yeelan doonno dhaartaadii aad nagu dhaarisay.
21 And she says, “According to your words, so it [is]”; and she sends them away, and they go; and she binds the scarlet line to the window.
Kolkaasay waxay ku tidhi, Sidaad tidhaahdeen ha ahaato. Kolkaasay iska dirtay, oo iyana way ka tageen; markaasay xadhiggii guduudnaa daaqaddii ku xidhay.
22 And they go, and come to the mountain, and abide there three days until the pursuers have turned back; and the pursuers seek in all the way, and have not found.
Kolkaasay tageen, oo waxay yimaadeen buurtii, oo halkaasay saddex maalmood joogeen, ilaa ay raacdadii ka soo noqotay; oo raacdadiina jidka oo dhan bay ka doondooneen, laakiinse ma ay helin.
23 And the two men turn back, and come down from the hill, and pass over, and come to Joshua son of Nun, and recount to him all that has come on them;
Markaasaa labadii nin noqdeen; buurtii bay ka degeen, oo intay webigii gudbeen ayay u yimaadeen Yashuuca ina Nuun; kolkaasay u sheegeen wixii ku dhacay oo dhan.
24 and they say to Joshua, “Surely YHWH has given all the land into our hand; and also, all the inhabitants of the land have melted at our presence.”
Oo waxay Yashuuca ku yidhaahdeen, Sida runta Rabbigu dalka oo dhan gacmaheennuu geliyey, oo weliba, kuwa dalka deggan oo dhammu horteenay ku dhalaalayaan kulligood.
