< Joshua 2 >

1 Then Joshua son of Nun secretly sent two men out from Shittim as spies. He said, “Go, look over the land, especially Jericho.” They went away and came to the house of a prostitute whose name was Rahab, and they lodged there.
Hagi anante Sitimima manine'za Nuni nemofo Josua'a tare afureno ke netre'na oku'a huznanteno, amanage huno zanasami'ne, Kantu kaziga Kenani mopafi vutna Jeriko kumara ome afuretna keso'e hi'o. Higeke vuke mago monko a' agi'a Rehapu'e nehaza a'mofo nompi ana kenagera umase'na'e.
2 It was told to the king of Jericho, “Look, men of Israel have come here to spy on the land.”
Hianagi mago'a vahe'mo'za vu'za Jeriko kumate kini nera amanage hu'za ome asami'naze, kva huo, meni kenage mago'a Israeli naga'mo'za mopati afure'za kenaku e'naze.
3 The king of Jericho sent word to Rahab and said, “Bring out the men who have come to you who entered your house, for they have come to spy on the whole land.”
Hagi Jeriko kini ne'mo'a anankema nentahino'a, amanage huta Rehapuna ome asamiho huno vahera huzmante'ne. Maka tagri mopama afure'zama kenaku'ma kagritegama e'za nonka'afima emani'naza vahera, zamavare megi'a zamatro.
4 But the woman had taken the two men and hidden them. She replied, “Yes, the men came to me, but I did not know where they were from.
Hianagi Rehapu'a ana netre'na zanavre franekino amanage huno zamasami'ne, Tamage nagritera e'na'anagi zanagra inantegati e'na'e nagra ontahi'noe.
5 They left when it was dusk, when it was time for the city gate to shut. I do not know where they went. You will probably catch them if you hurry after them.”
Hagi kinagama rankumamofo kahama erigi knama koftama nehigeke vu'na'anagi, iga vu'na'e nagra ozanage'noe. Hagi ame huta zanavaririta vanuta, ome zanazerigahaze.
6 But she had taken them up to the roof and hidden them with the stalks of flax that she had laid out on the roof.
Hianagi Rehapu'a ana ne'trena zanavreno noma'amofo agofetu kukenama tro'ma nehaza traza anakino ante'nefi ome frakizanante'ne.
7 So the men pursued them on the road that leads to the fords of the Jordan. The gate was shut as soon as the pursuers went out.
Anagema hige'za ana netrema zanazerinaku zamagare'za Jodani tintega vahe'mo'zama taka'ma nehazarega nevazageno'a, rankumamofo kahana erigi'naze.
8 The men had not yet lain down for the night, when she came up to them on the roof.
Hagi ana afure ne'tremoke ko'ma masezanku Rehapu'a nomote marerino,
9 She said, “I know that Yahweh has given you the land and that the fear of you has come upon us. All those who live in the land will melt away before you.
amanage huno ome zanasami'ne, Nagra antahi'noe, ama mopa ko Ra Anumzamo tamagri tami'ne. Ana higeta tagra tamagrikura tusi'a koro nehunkeno, maka ama mopafima mani'naza vahe'mo'zanena tamagrikura koro nehu'za tusi'a zamahirahiku nehaze.
10 We have heard how Yahweh dried up the water of the Sea of Reeds for you when you came out of Egypt. We also heard what you did to the two kings of the Amorites on other side of the Jordan—Sihon and Og—whom you completely destroyed.
Na'ankure Isipiti'ma atreta azageno Ra Anumzamo'ma tamagri tamavufima koranke hagerima erineraneno, mopama eri hagagema higetama e'naza zana, tagra ko antahi'none. Hagi Jodani timofo kantu zage hanati kaziga Amori vahe'mokizmi kini netre zanagi'a Sihonine Oginema zanahe fri'naza zanku'enena ko antahi'none.
11 As soon as we had heard it, our hearts melted and there was no courage left in anyone—for Yahweh your God, he is God in heaven above and on the earth below.
Tagrama ana kema nentahita, tamagrikura tusi koro hu'none. Na'ankure Ra Anumzana tamagri Anumzamo'a monane mopanema tro'ma hu'nea Anumza mani'ne.
12 Now then, please swear to me by Yahweh that, just as I have been kind to you, you will also deal kindly with my father's house. Give me a sure sign
E'ina hu'negu menina muse huranantoanki, Ra Anumzamofo avufi huvempa hutna, nagrama so'e navu'nava'ma huranantoankna hutna, nagri naga'ma so'ema huzmantesu'ema hanuta'a, mago avame'za nami'o.
13 that you will spare the lives of my father, mother, brothers, sisters and all their families, and that you will save us from death.”
Hagi nenfa'ma nenarera'ma nasarehe'ima nanunknahe'ine naga zami'nena, zamaza hinke'za, Israeli vahe'mo'za tahe ofriho.
14 The men said to her, “Our life for yours, even to death! If you do not speak about our business, then, when Yahweh gives us this land we will be merciful and faithful to you.”
Anante ana ne'tremokea Rehapuna amanage huke asami'na'e, Na'a agafare tagra amafina e'no'e, kagra vahe'ma ozamasamisanana, henkama Ra Anumzamo'ma ama mopama tamisia zupa antahigamigahune. Tagra huvempa hu'ankino anama osanukeno'a, Ra Anumzamo'a tazeri haviza hugahie.
15 So she let them down out through the window using a rope. The house in which she lived was built into the wall of the city.
Anante Rehapua nomofona zaho eri kampinti nofite zanatregeke kuma keginamofo megi'a urami'na'e. Na'ankure noma'amo'a kumamofo keginare rehe'negu anara hu'ne.
16 She said to them, “Go in the hills and hide or the pursuers will find you. Hide there for three days until the pursuers have returned. Then go on your way.”
Ana nehuno amanage huno zanasami'ne, Tanagriku'ma nehakaza vahe'mo'za tutagiha huznantegahazanki agonarega freta vuta tagufa kna umani'neke'za etesageta, ete e'natega vi'o.
17 The men said to her, “We will be not be bound to the promises of the oath you made us swear to, if you do not do this.
Higeke ana netremokea Rehapuna amanage huke asami'na'e, hanki kagrama hanketa huvempa hugante'noa kea tagrama kasamu'a kema amage'ma antesanketa'a, ana huvempa keti'a eri otregahu'e.
18 When we come into the land, you must tie this scarlet rope in the window through which you let us down, and you will gather into the house your father and mother, your brothers and all your father's household.
Hanki menina antahio, ama zasi'ma eri kama atiramu'a kantera, kagra ama koranke nofira anakinte'nenka, negafama negrerama kasarehe'ima maka nagaka'anena zamavaretru hunka nonka'afi mani'nenketa tagra Israeli vahe'enena ama mopafina egahune.
19 Whoever goes out of the doors of your house into the street, their blood will be upon their own heads and we will be guiltless. But if a hand is laid upon any who is with you in the house, his blood will be on our head.
Hagi naga'kafinti'ma magomo'ma kagri noma atreno, megi'a kumamofo kampima vano nehanige'zama ahe frisageno'a, e'i tagri hazenkeompage agri'a hazenke. Hianagi magomo'ma kagri nompi mani'nenige'za eme ahe frisageno'a, e'i tagri knaza megahie.
20 But if you speak about our business, we will be free from the oath you made us swear.”
Hianagi tagrama e'no'a eri'zamofo nanekema vahe'ma zamasamisankeno'a, kagrama hanketama huvempama hu'no'a kemofo nona'a tagra hazenkea e'origahu'e.
21 Rahab replied, “May what you say be done.” She sent them away and they left. Then she tied the scarlet rope in the window.
Hanki Rehapua ke zanirera amanage hu'ne, Mago narimpa huanki kema ha'a kante anteno anazana fore hino, nehuno huzanantegekema nevakeno'a ana koranke nofira noma'amofo zaho'ma eri kahante anakinte'ne.
22 They left and went up into the hills and they stayed there three days until their pursuers returned. The pursuers searched all along the road and found nothing.
Hagi ana netremokea atreke agonarega vuke tagufa zagegna fraki'nake'za, zanagenema re'naza vahe'mo'za karanka hake vagare'za vu'nazanagi ozanage'za, ete rukrahe hu'za Jeriko e'naze.
23 The two men returned and crossed over and came back to Joshua son of Nun, and they told him everything that had happened to them.
Ana agonafintira ana netremokea uramike Jodani tina ome takaheke vuke ana maka'zama zanagrite'ma fore'ma hu'nea zana, Nuni nemofo Josuana ome asami vagare'na'e.
24 They said to Joshua, “Truly Yahweh has given this land to us. All the inhabitants of the land are melting away because of us.”
Anage nehuke Josuana asamike, tamagerafa huno Ra Anumzamo'a ana maka mopa tagri tazampi ante'ne. Na'ankure ana mopafima mani'naza veamo'za tagriku'ma nehu'za, zamahirahi nerege'za tusi koro nehaze.
