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.
Zvino Joshua mwanakomana waNuni akatuma vasori vaviri muchivande kubva kuShitimu. Akati, “Endai munotarisa nyika, kunyanya Jeriko.” Naizvozvo vakaenda vakandopinda mumba mechifeve chainzi Rahabhi vakagaramo.
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.
Zvino mambo weJeriko akaudzwa kuti, “Tarirai! Kune vamwe vaIsraeri vauya muno manheru anhasi kuzosora nyika.”
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.
Naizvozvo mambo weJeriko akatumira shoko kuna Rahabhi achiti, “Budisa varume vauya kwauri vakapinda mumba mako, nokuti vauya kuzosora nyika yose.”
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.
Asi mukadzi uyu akanga atora varume vaviri vaya akavavanza. Iye ndokuti, “Ichokwadi, varume ava vakauya kwandiri, asi handina kuziva kuti vakanga vabvepi.
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.
Zvino kwati zvarara yava nguva yokupfiga suo reguta, varume ava vakaenda. Handizivi kuti vakaenda vakanangepi. Vateverei nokukurumidza, pamwe mungangovabata.”
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.
(Asi iye akanga avatora ndokuvaisa pamusoro pemba ndokuvavanza mumashanga aakanga aunganidza pamusoro pemba.)
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.
Naizvozvo varume vakasimuka votevera vasori nenzira yainanga kumazambuko eJorodhani, uye vaitevera vachangobuda, suo rakabva rapfigwa.
8 And they not yet they had lain down! and she she went up to them on the roof.
Vasori vasati varara, iye akakwira padenga remba,
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.
ndokuti kwavari, “Ndinozviziva kuti Jehovha akupai nyika ino, uye kuti kutyiwa kwenyu kukuru kuri pamusoro pedu, zvokuti vose vanogara munyika muno vari kubvunda nokutya nokuda kwenyu.
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.
Takanzwa maomeserwo akaitwa mvura yeGungwa Dzvuku naJehovha nokuda kwenyu pamakabuda muIjipiti, uye zvamakaita kuna Sihoni naOgi, madzimambo maviri avaAmori kumabvazuva kweJorodhani, avo vamakaparadza zvachose.
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.
Patakazvinzwa mwoyo yedu yakarukutika, uye hapana akasara nokutsunga maari nokuda kwenyu, nokuti Jehovha Mwari wenyu ndiMwari kumusoro kudenga napasi panyika.
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.
Zvino ndapota, pikai kwandiri naJehovha kuti muchaitira mhuri yangu tsitsi, nokuti ini ndakuitiraiwo tsitsi. Ndipei chiratidzo chechokwadi chakasimba
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.
chokuti muchararamisa baba vangu namai vangu, hanzvadzi dzangu namadzikoma angu, nemhuri dzavo dzose, uye kuti muchatiponesa kubva parufu.”
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.
Ipapo varume vaya vakamuvimbisa vachiti, “Isu ngatife pachinzvimbo chenyu. Kana ukasareva zvatiri kuita tichakubata zvakanaka nokutendeka kana Jehovha atipa nyika ino.”
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.
Saka akavadzikisa pasi netambo napawindo, nokuti imba yaaigara yaiva mumasvingo eguta.
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.
Zvino akati kwavari, “Endai kumakomo kuitira kuti vateveri varege kukuwanai. Muvande ikoko kwamazuva matatu kusvikira vadzoka, mozoenda henyu nenzira yenyu.”
17 And they said to her the men [will be] free we from oath your this which you made swear us.
Varume vaya ndokuti kwaari, “Mhiko yawatipikisa iyi haizotisungi
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.
kunze kwokuti, patinopinda munyika, uchange wasungirira tambo tsvuku iyi pawindo rawatidzikisa naro, uye kunze kwokunge wapinza baba vako namai vako, hanzvadzi dzako nemhuri yako yose mumba mako.
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.
Ani naani anobuda mumba mako achienda panze, ropa rake richava pamusoro wake, isu hatizova nemhosva. Asi wose anenge ari mumba pamwe chete newe, ropa rake richava pamisoro yedu kana pakangowana anomubata chete.
20 And if you will tell business our this and we will be free from oath your which you made swear us.
Asi ukangoreva zvatiri kuita, tichasunungurwa pamhiko yawatipikisa.”
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.
Iye akapindura akati, “Ngazviitwe sokutaura kwenyu.” Naizvozvo akavati vaende ivo ndokuenda. Ipapo akabva asungirira tambo tsvuku pawindo.
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].
Pavakabva, vakaenda mumakomo vakagaramo kwamazuva matatu, kusvikira vateveri vatsvaka nzira yose vakavashayiwa vakadzoka.
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.
Ipapo varume vaviri vaya vakatanga kudzokera. Vakadzika kubva muzvikomo ndokuyambuka rwizi vakasvika kuna Joshua mwanakomana waNuni vakamuudza zvose zvakanga zvaitika kwavari.
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.
Vakati kuna Joshua, “Zvirokwazvo Jehovha aisa nyika yose mumaoko edu; vanhu vose vari kugwagwadza nokutitya.”
