Joshua 6
1 Now Jericho was tightly shut up because of the children of Israel. No one went out, and no one came in.
Ekibuga Yeriko kyali kigaddwawo ng’enzigi zonna zisibiddwa be gulugulu olw’okutya Abayisirayiri era nga tewali afuluma wadde ayingira.
2 Jehovah said to Joshua, "Look, I have given Jericho into your hand, with its king and the mighty men of valor.
Mukama n’agamba Yoswa nti, “Laba, Yeriko ne kabaka waakyo n’abasajja baamu bakirimaanyi mbawaddeyo mu mukono gwammwe.
3 All your men of war shall march around the city, going around the city once. You shall do this six days.
Basajja bammwe abalwanyi bonna bajja ku kyetooloolanga omulundi gumu buli lunaku okumala ennaku mukaaga.
4 Seven priests shall bear seven trumpets of rams' horns before the ark. On the seventh day, you shall march around the city seven times, and the priests shall blow the trumpets.
Bakabona musanvu bajja kwambaliranga amakondeere agaakolebwa mu mayembe g’endiga ennume, nga bakulembedde Essanduuko. Ku lunaku olw’omusanvu balyetooloola ekibuga emirundi musanvu nga bwe bafuuwa amakondeere gaabwe.
5 It shall be that when they make a long blast with the ram's horn, and when you 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 go up every man straight before him."
Olunaawulira amakondeere nga gavuga, Abayisirayiri bonna baleekaanire waggulu era amangwago ekisenge kya bbugwe ekyetoolodde kineegonnomola wansi; amangwago Abayisirayiri bonna beefubitike ekibuga.”
6 Joshua the son of Nun called the priests, and said to them, "Take up the ark of the covenant, and let seven priests bear seven trumpets of rams' horns before the ark of Jehovah."
Bw’atyo Yoswa mutabani wa Nuuni n’ayita bakabona n’abagamba nti, “Musitule Essanduuko ey’Endagaano ne bakabona musanvu bakulembere Essanduuko ya Mukama nga bambalidde amakondeere musanvu agaakolebwa mu mayembe g’endiga ennume.”
7 And he said to the people, "Advance. March around the city, and let the armed men pass on before Jehovah's ark."
N’alagira Abayisirayiri nti, “Mweyongere mu maaso, mwetooloole ekibuga abalina ebyokulwanyisa nga bakulembeddemu Essanduuko ya Mukama.”
8 It was so, that when Joshua had spoken to the people, the seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams' horns before Jehovah advanced, and blew the trumpets; and the ark of the covenant of Jehovah followed them.
Nga Yoswa bwe yabakalaatira, bwe batyo bakabona omusanvu ne bakulemberamu nga bwe bafuuwa amakondeere gaabwe omusanvu ezaakolebwa mu mayembe g’endiga eza sseddume, eno nga Essanduuko ey’Endagaano ya Mukama bw’ebavaako emabega.
9 The armed men went before the priests who blew the trumpets, and the ark went after them. The trumpets sounded as they went.
Abasajja abambalidde ebyokulwanyisa ne bakulemberamu bakabona ab’amakondeere, olwo eggye ery’emabega ne ligoberera Essanduuko ng’eno amakondeere bwe ganyaanyaagira.
10 Joshua commanded the people, saying, "You shall not shout, nor let your voice be heard, neither shall any word proceed out of your mouth, until the day I tell you to shout. Then you shall shout."
Awo Yoswa n’alagira Abayisirayiri nti, “Temuleekaana wadde okwogerera waggulu, mutambule kasirise okutuusa ku lunaku olwo lwe ndibalagira.”
11 So he caused the ark of Jehovah to go around the city, going about it once. Then they came into the camp, and lodged in the camp.
Bw’etyo Essanduuko ya Mukama ne yeetooloozebwa ekibuga omulundi gumu olunaku olwo, ne beddirayo mu lusiisira lwabwe ne beebaka.
12 Joshua rose early in the morning, and the priests took up the ark of Jehovah.
Yoswa n’akeera nnyo mu makya, ne bakabona ne basitula Essanduuko ya Mukama,
13 The seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams' horns before the ark of Jehovah went on continually, and blew the trumpets: and the armed men went before them. The rear guard came after the ark of Jehovah. The trumpets sounded as they went.
ne bakabona omusanvu abafuuyi b’amakondeere ne batambula, abalwanyi nga babakulembedde, eggye ery’emabega lyo nga ligoberera Essanduuko ya Mukama, eno amakondeere nga bwe gafuuyibwa.
14 The second day they marched around the city once, and returned into the camp. They did this six days.
Ku lunaku olwokubiri ne beetooloola ekibuga omulundi gumu, ne baddayo mu lusiisira. Ne bakola bwe batyo okumala ennaku mukaaga.
15 It happened on the seventh day, that they rose early at the dawning of the day, and marched around the city in the same way seven times. Only on this day they marched around the city seven times.
Ku lunaku olw’omusanvu baakeera mu matulutulu ne beetooloola ekibuga nga bulijjo, kyokka olwo lwe lwali olunaku lwokka lwe baakyetooloola emirundi omusanvu.
16 It happened at the seventh time, when the priests blew the trumpets, Joshua said to the people, "Shout, for Jehovah has given you the city.
Ku mulundi ogw’omusanvu nga bakabona bamaze okufuuwa amakondeere, Yoswa n’alagira abantu nti, “Muleekaane kubanga Mukama abawadde ekibuga.
17 The city shall be devoted, even it and all that is in it, to Jehovah. Only Rahab the prostitute shall live, she and all who are with her in the house, because she hid the messengers that we sent.
Era ekibuga n’ebintu byamu byonna bya kuweebwayo eri Mukama bizikirizibwe okuggyako Lakabu yekka malaaya, oyo n’abantu be baanaabeera nabo mu nju ye. Kubanga yakweka abakessi baffe be twasindikayo.
18 But as for you, only keep yourselves from the devoted thing, so as not to covet and take of the devoted thing and make the camp of Israel accursed, and bring trouble on it.
Naye mmwe mwekuume ebyo ebiweereddwayo eri Mukama okuzikirizibwa muleme kubitwala kubanga kiyinza okuleetera Abayisirayiri bonna ekikolimo n’okuzikirira.
19 But all the silver, and gold, and vessels of bronze and iron, are holy to Jehovah. They shall come into Jehovah's treasury."
Kyokka ffeeza ne zaabu n’ebintu byonna eby’ekikomo n’eby’ekyuma bitukuvu eri Mukama era byakutereka mu ggwanika lya Mukama.”
20 So the people shouted, and the priests blew the trumpets. It happened, when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, that the people shouted with a great shout, and the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they took the city.
Awo Abayisirayiri ne baleekaana nnyo, amakondeere bwe gaavuga. Amangu ennyo ng’amakondeere gakavuga Abayisirayiri ne boogera n’eddoboozi ery’omwanguka, era ekisenge kya bbugwe ekyebunguludde ekibuga Yeriko ne kyegonnomola wansi. Awo ne bayingira ne bakiwamba.
21 They utterly destroyed all that was in the city, both man and woman, both young and old, and ox, and sheep, and donkey, with the edge of the sword.
Ne bazikiriza byonna ebyakirimu, abasajja n’abakazi, n’abaana abato, n’ente, n’endiga, n’endogoyi ne byonna ne babizikiriza n’ekitala.
22 And Joshua said to the two young men who had spied out the land, "Go into the prostitute's house, and bring out from there the woman and all that she has, as you swore to her."
Awo Yoswa n’agamba abasajja ababiri abaatumibwa okuketta ensi eri nti, “Mugende muleete malaaya oli n’abantu be bonna baali nabo nga bwe mwamusuubiza.”
23 The young men who were spies went in, and brought out Rahab with her father, her mother, her brothers, and all that she had. They also brought out all her relatives, and they set them outside of the camp of Israel.
Bwe batyo abavubuka abo abakessi ne bagenda ne bakola nga bwe baalagirwa, ne baleeta Lakabu malaaya, ne kitaawe, ne nnyina, ne bannyina n’abantu be bonna be yali nabo, ne babateeka ebweru w’olusiisira lw’Abayisirayiri.
24 They burnt the city with fire, and all that was in it. Only they put the silver, the gold, and the vessels of bronze and of iron into the treasury of Jehovah's house.
Awo ne balyoka bookya ekibuga ne bazikiriza byonna ebyakirimu okuggyako ffeeza, zaabu n’ebintu eby’ekikomo n’eby’ekyuma bye baggyamu ne babitereka mu ggwanika ly’omu nnyumba ya Mukama.
25 But Rahab the prostitute, her father's household, and all that she had, Joshua saved alive. She lived in the midst of Israel to this day, because she hid the messengers, whom Joshua sent to spy out Jericho.
Yoswa n’alekawo Lakabu malaaya n’ab’ennyumba ye era Lakabu n’abeera mu Isirayiri n’okutuusa kaakano kubanga yakweka abakessi Yoswa be yatuma okuketta ekibuga Yeriko.
26 Joshua commanded them with an oath at that time, saying, "Cursed be the man before Jehovah, who rises up and builds this city Jericho. With the loss of his firstborn shall he lay its foundation, and with the loss of his youngest son shall he set up its gates."
Yoswa n’alayira nti, “Akolimirwe mu maaso ga Mukama omuntu yenna alyaŋŋanga nate okuzimba ekibuga kino Yeriko. Bw’alyaŋŋanga okuzimba omusingi gwakyo alifiirwa omwana we omubereberye. Ate era bw’alyaŋŋanga okuwangamu enzigi z’emiryango gyakyo, alifiirwa omwana we asembayo owoobulenzi.”
27 So Jehovah was with Joshua; and his fame was in all the land.
Bw’atyo Mukama n’abeera ne Yoswa, era ettutumu lya Yoswa ne libuna ensi eyo yonna.
