Joshua 2
1 And he sent Joshua [the] son of Nun from Shittim two men spies secretly saying go see the land and Jericho and they went and they went [the] house of a woman a prostitute and name her [was] Rahab and they lay down there.
當下，嫩的兒子約書亞從什亭暗暗打發兩個人作探子，吩咐說：「你們去窺探那地和耶利哥。」於是二人去了，來到一個妓女名叫喇合的家裏，就在那裏躺臥。
2 And it was told to [the] king of Jericho saying here! men they have come hither this night from [the] people of Israel to spy out the land.
有人告訴耶利哥王說：「今夜有以色列人來到這裏窺探此地。」
3 And he sent [the] king of Jericho to Rahab saying bring out the men who came to you who they came to house your for to spy out all the land they have come.
耶利哥王打發人去見喇合說：「那來到你這裏、進了你家的人要交出來，因為他們來窺探全地。」
4 And she took the woman [the] two the men and she hid him and she said - right they came to me the men and not I knew from where [were] they.
女人將二人隱藏，就回答說：「那人果然到我這裏來；他們是哪裏來的我卻不知道。
5 And it was the gate [about] to shut at darkness and the men they went out not I know where? did they go the men pursue quickly after them for you will overtake them.
天黑、要關城門的時候，他們出去了，往哪裏去我卻不知道。你們快快地去追趕，就必追上。」（
6 And she she had taken up them the roof towards and she had hidden them among [the] flax of the tree that had been arranged by her on the roof.
先是女人領二人上了房頂，將他們藏在那裏所擺的麻稭中。）
7 And the men they pursued after them [the] road of the Jordan to the fords and the gate people closed after just when they had gone out the pursuers after them.
那些人就往約旦河的渡口追趕他們去了。追趕他們的人一出去，城門就關了。
8 And they not yet they had lain down! and she she went up to them on the roof.
二人還沒有躺臥，女人就上房頂，到他們那裏，
9 And she said to the men I know that he has given Yahweh to you the land and that it has fallen dread your on us and that they have melted away all [the] inhabitants of the land because of you.
對他們說：「我知道耶和華已經把這地賜給你們，並且因你們的緣故我們都驚慌了。這地的一切居民在你們面前心都消化了；
10 For we have heard this: he dried up Yahweh [the] waters of [the] sea of reed[s] from before you when came out you from Egypt and [that] which you did to [the] two [the] kings of the Amorite[s] who [was] on [the] other side of the Jordan to Sihon and to Og whom you totally destroyed them.
因為我們聽見你們出埃及的時候，耶和華怎樣在你們前面使紅海的水乾了，並且你們怎樣待約旦河東的兩個亞摩利王西宏和噩，將他們盡行毀滅。
11 And we heard and it melted heart our and not it arose again spirit in anyone because of you for Yahweh God your he [is] God in the heavens above and on the earth beneath.
我們一聽見這些事，心就消化了。因你們的緣故，並無一人有膽氣。耶和華－你們的上帝本是上天下地的上帝。
12 And therefore swear please to me by Yahweh for I have done with you loyalty and you will do also you with [the] household of father my loyalty and you will give to me a sign of faithfulness.
現在我既是恩待你們，求你們指着耶和華向我起誓，也要恩待我父家，並給我一個實在的證據，
13 And you will let live father my and mother my and brothers my and (sisters my *Q(K)*) and all who [belong] to them and you will deliver lives our from death.
要救活我的父母、弟兄、姊妹，和一切屬他們的，拯救我們性命不死。」
14 And they said to her the men life our for you to die if not you will tell business our this and it will be when gives Yahweh to us the land and we will do with you loyalty and faithfulness.
二人對她說：「你若不洩漏我們這件事，我們情願替你們死。耶和華將這地賜給我們的時候，我們必以慈愛誠實待你。」
15 And she let down them with rope through the window for house her [was] in [the] wall of the city wall and in the city wall she [was] dwelling.
於是女人用繩子將二人從窗戶裏縋下去；因她的房子是在城牆邊上，她也住在城牆上。
16 And she said to them the hill country towards go lest they should meet you the pursuers and you will hide yourselves there three days until return the pursuers and after you will go to way your.
她對他們說：「你們且往山上去，恐怕追趕的人碰見你們；要在那裏隱藏三天，等追趕的人回來，然後才可以走你們的路。」
17 And they said to her the men [will be] free we from oath your this which you made swear us.
二人對她說：「你要這樣行。不然，你叫我們所起的誓就與我們無干了。
18 Here! we [are] about to come in the land [the] cord of [the] thread of the scarlet this you will bind in the window which you let down us in it and father your and mother your and brothers your and all [the] household of father your you will gather to you the house towards.
我們來到這地的時候，你要把這條朱紅線繩繫在縋我們下去的窗戶上，並要使你的父母、弟兄，和你父的全家都聚集在你家中。
19 And it will be every [one] who he will go out from [the] doors of house your - the outside towards blood his [will be] on own head his and we [will be] free and every [one] who he will be with you in the house blood his [will be] on head our if a hand it will be on him.
凡出了你家門往街上去的，他的罪 必歸到自己的頭上，與我們無干了。凡在你家裏的，若有人下手害他，流他血的罪就歸到我們的頭上。
20 And if you will tell business our this and we will be free from oath your which you made swear us.
你若洩漏我們這件事，你叫我們所起的誓就與我們無干了。」
21 And she said according to words your [be] so it and she sent off them and they went and she bound [the] cord of the scarlet in the window.
女人說：「照你們的話行吧！」於是打發他們去了，又把朱紅線繩繫在窗戶上。
22 And they went and they came the hill country towards and they remained there three days until they returned the pursuers and they searched the pursuers in all the way and not they found [them].
二人到山上，在那裏住了三天，等着追趕的人回去了。追趕的人一路找他們，卻找不着。
23 And they returned [the] two the men and they went down from the hill country and they passed over and they came to Joshua [the] son of Nun and they recounted to him all the [things that] had found with them.
二人就下山回來，過了河，到嫩的兒子約書亞那裏，向他述說所遭遇的一切事；
24 And they said to Joshua that he has given Yahweh in hand our all the land and also they have melted away all [the] inhabitants of the land because of us.
又對約書亞說：「耶和華果然將那全地交在我們手中；那地的一切居民在我們面前心都消化了。」
