Joshua 6
1 Now, Jericho, was shut up and barred because of the sons of Israel, —none came out and none went in.
Bikuke ya engumba Jeriko ezalaki ya kokangama makasi penza mpo na bana ya Isalaele; moto moko te akokaki kokota to kobima.
2 Then said Yahweh unto Joshua, See, I have delivered, into thy hand, Jericho and her king, —the mighty men of valour.
Yawe alobaki na Jozue: — Tala, na maboko na yo, nasili kokaba Jeriko elongo na mokonzi na yango mpe bilombe na yango ya bitumba.
3 So then ye shall compass the city all ye men of war, going round the city, once, —thus, shall thou do six days.
Botambola zingazinga ya engumba mbala moko na mokolo, yo elongo na bato nyonso ya etumba. Bosala bongo mikolo motoba.
4 And, seven priests, shall bear the seven rams’ horns before the ark, and, on the seventh day, shall ye compass the city seven times, —and, the priests, shall blow with the horns.
Kamata Banganga-Nzambe sambo; Nganga-Nzambe moko na moko asengeli komema kelelo moko basala na liseke ya meme. Banganga-Nzambe nyonso sambo basengeli kotambola liboso ya Sanduku. Na mokolo ya sambo, bobaluka zingazinga ya engumba mbala sambo, elongo na Banganga-Nzambe oyo bakozala kobeta bakelelo.
5 And it shall come to pass, when the ram’s horn soundeth, when ye hear the sound of the horn, that all the people shall shout with a great shout, —and then shall the wall of the city fall down under it, and the people shall go up, every man straight before him.
Tango lolaka ya bakelelo yango ekoyokana tango molayi, tika ete bato nyonso baganga makasi; bongo mir ya engumba ekokweya na pwasa, mpe moto na moto akokota na engumba, na esika oyo akozala.
6 Then called Joshua son of Nun unto the priests, and said unto them, Bear ye the ark of the covenant, —and let, seven priest, bear seven rams horns, before the ark of Yahweh.
Boye Jozue, mwana mobali ya Nuni, abengaki Banganga-Nzambe mpe alobaki na bango: — Bomema Sanduku ya Boyokani ya Yawe, mpe tika ete Banganga-Nzambe sambo kati na bino bakamata bakelelo sambo mpe batambola liboso ya Sanduku ya Yawe.
7 Then said he unto the people, Pass on and compass the city, —and let, the armed host, pass on before the ark of Yahweh.
Bongo apesaki mitindo oyo epai ya bana ya Isalaele: — Bokende liboso! Botambola zingazinga ya engumba, mpe tika ete basoda oyo bazalaka na liboso, na etumba, baleka liboso ya Sanduku ya Yawe.
8 And it was so, when Joshua had spoken unto the people, that, the seven priests who were bearing the seven rams’ horns before Yahweh, passed on and blew with the horns, —the ark of the covenant of Yahweh also coming after them.
Tango Jozue asilisaki koloba na bato, Banganga-Nzambe sambo, oyo bakamataki bakelelo sambo liboso ya Yawe, balekaki liboso mpe bakomaki kobeta yango, wana Sanduku ya Boyokani ya Yawe ezalaki kolanda bango na sima.
9 And, the armed host, went on before the priests who blew with the horns, —and, the rear-guard, came after the ark, going on and blowing with the horns.
Basoda oyo bazalaka na liboso, na bitumba, bazalaki kotambola liboso ya Banganga-Nzambe oyo bazalaki kobeta bakelelo; bongo basoda oyo batikalaka na sima, bazalaki kolanda Sanduku ya Boyokani. Na tango wana nyonso, bakelelo ezalaki kaka kobeta.
10 Now, unto the people, had Joshua given command, saying—Ye shall not shout nor let your voice be heard, neither shall there go out of your mouth, a word, —until the day when I say unto you Shout! then shall ye shout.
Kasi Jozue apesaki mitindo oyo epai ya bana ya Isalaele: — Boganga te, boloba mpe eloko moko te! Bovanda kaka kimia kino tango nakoloba na bino ete boganga makasi; wana nde bokoganga makasi.
11 So he caused the ark of Yahweh to compass the city, going round once, —and they came into the camp, and lodged in the camp.
Boye, Sanduku ya Yawe ezalaki kotambola zingazinga ya engumba mbala moko na mokolo; bongo na sima, bato bazalaki kozonga na molako mpo na kolekisa butu.
12 And Joshua rose early in the morning, —and the priests bare the ark of Yahweh;
Na tongo-tongo ya mokolo oyo elandaki, Jozue alamukaki, mpe Banganga-Nzambe bamemaki Sanduku ya Yawe.
13 and, the seven priests who bare the seven rams’ horns before the ark of Yahweh, went on and on, and blew with the horns, —with, the armed host going on before them, and, the rear-guard, coming after the ark of Yahweh, going on and blowing with the horns.
Banganga-Nzambe sambo oyo basimbaki bakelelo sambo balekaki liboso, batambolaki liboso ya Sanduku ya Yawe, na kobeta bakelelo. Basoda oyo bazalaka na liboso, na bitumba, balekaki liboso na bango; mpe basoda oyo batikalaka na sima bazalaki kolanda Sanduku ya Yawe, wana bakelelo ezalaki kobeta.
14 So they compassed the city on the second day once, and returned into the camp, —thus, did they, six days.
Na mokolo ya mibale, babalukaki lisusu engumba mbala moko; bongo na sima, bazongaki na molako. Boye, basalaki bongo mikolo motoba.
15 And it came to pass, on the seventh day, that they rose early at the uprisings of the dawn, and compassed the city after this manner, seven times, —only on that day they compassed the city seven times.
Na mokolo ya sambo, balamukaki na tongo-tongo mpe babalukaki zingazinga ya engumba mbala sambo, ndenge kaka bazalaki kosala. Ezalaki kaka mokolo wana nde babalukaki mbala sambo zingazinga ya engumba.
16 And it came to pass, at the seventh time—when the priests blew with the horns, then did Joshua say unto the people—Shout, for Yahweh hath delivered unto you the city.
Na mbala oyo ya sambo, tango Banganga-Nzambe babetaki bakelelo tango molayi, Jozue apesaki mitindo epai ya bato: — Boganga makasi, pamba te Yawe akabi engumba oyo na maboko na bino!
17 And it shall be, that, as for the city, devoted, shall it be and all that is therein unto Yahweh, —nevertheless, Rahab the harlot, shall live, she and all who are with her in the house, because she hid the messengers whom we sent.
Bobebisa mpo na Yawe engumba oyo nyonso elongo na biloko nyonso oyo ezali kati na yango. Bobikisa kaka Raabi, mwasi ya ndumba, elongo na bato na ye nyonso oyo bakozala kati na ndako na ye, pamba te abombaki banongi oyo totindaki.
18 But, in any wise, do, ye, beware of what is devoted, lest ye should covet, and then take of what is devoted, —and so cause the camp of Israel to be devoted, and bring trouble upon it.
Kasi bosala keba na tina na biloko oyo ekabami mpo na kobebisama, mpo ete bomilukela pasi te na koluka kokamata ata eloko moko kati na yango, noki te bokomema lisuma oyo ekobebisa molako ya Isalaele mpe bokotia yango na mobulu.
19 But, as for all silver and gold and vessels of bronze and iron, hallowed, it is to Yahweh, —unto the treasury of Yahweh, shall it come.
Kasi palata, wolo mpe biloko nyonso ya bronze elongo na bibende ekobulisama mpo na Yawe mpe esengeli kokende na ebombelo bomengo ya Yawe.
20 So the people shouted, when the horns were blown, —yea it came to pass, when the people heard the sound of the horn, that the people shouted with a great shout, and the wall fell down under it, and the people went up into the city every man straight before him, and so they captured the city.
Tango babetaki bakelelo, bato bagangaki makasi. Bongo, tango bato bagangaki makasi sima na koyoka lolaka ya kelelo kobeta tango molayi, mir ya engumba ekweyaki na pwasa. Boye, moto nyonso akotaki na engumba, liboso na ye, mpe babotolaki yango.
21 And they devoted all that were in the city, both man and woman, both young and old, —and ox and sheep and ass, with the edge of the sword.
Babomaki na mopanga, nyonso oyo ezalaki kati na engumba: mobali to mwasi, elenge to mobange, ngombe to meme to mpe ane.
22 But, unto the two men who spied out the land, Joshua said, Go into the house of the woman, the harlot, —and bring out thence the woman and all that she hath, as ye aware unto her.
Jozue alobaki na bato mibale oyo banongaki Jeriko: — Bokota na ndako ya mwasi ya ndumba, bobimisa ye libanda elongo na bato na ye nyonso, kolanda ndayi oyo bolapaki liboso na ye.
23 So the young men the spies went in and brought out Rahab and her father and her mother and her brethren and all that she had, yea, all her kindred, brought they out, —and set them outside the camp of Israel.
Boye, bilenge mibali oyo bakendeki kononga mokili bakotaki mpe babimisaki Raabi, tata na ye, mama na ye, bandeko na ye ya mibali mpe biloko na ye nyonso. Babimisaki libota na ye mobimba na libanda mpe batiaki bango libanda ya molako ya Isalaele.
24 But, the city, burned they with fire, and all that was therein, —save only, the silver and the gold and the vessels of bronze and of iron, put they into the treasury of the house of Yahweh.
Batumbaki engumba mobimba elongo na biloko nyonso oyo ezalaki kati na yango, longola kaka palata mpe wolo, bisalelo nyonso ya bronze mpe ya bibende oyo batiaki na ebombelo bomengo ya Tempelo ya Yawe.
25 And, Rahab the harlot and the household of her father and all that she had, did Joshua save alive, so she hath dwelt in the midst of Israel until this day, —because she hid the messengers whom Joshua sent to spy out Jericho.
Jozue abikisaki Raabi, mwasi ya ndumba, libota na ye mpe bato na ye nyonso, pamba te abombaki bato oyo Jozue atindaki mpo na kononga Jeriko. Boye, akomaki kovanda kati na bana ya Isalaele kino na mokolo ya lelo.
26 And Joshua imposed an oath at that time, saying, —Cursed be the man before Yahweh who shall raise up and build this city—Jericho, At the price of his firstborn, shall he lay its foundation, and, at the price of his youngest, shall he set up its doors.
Kaka na tango yango, Jozue akataki seleka oyo: « Tika ete moto oyo akoluka kotonga lisusu engumba Jeriko alakelama mabe liboso ya Yawe! Solo, akofuta motuya ya bomoi ya mwana na ye ya liboso ya mobali, tango akotonga miboko na yango; mpe motuya ya bomoi ya mwana na ye ya suka, tango akotia bikuke na yango. »
27 And so it was that Yahweh was with Joshua, —and his fame was in all the land.
Yawe azalaki elongo na Jozue, mpe sango na ye epanzanaki mokili mobimba.
