< Joshua 6 >

1 Now all the entrances to Jericho were closed because of the army of Israel. No one went out and no one came in.
In pacl se inge mutunpot Jericho kaul na ke sripen mwet Israel inge. Wangin mwet oatui, ac wangin mwet utyak nu we.
2 Yahweh said to Joshua, “See, I have delivered Jericho into your hand, its king, and its trained soldiers.
Na LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Joshua, “Liye, nga ac sot acn Jericho nu inpoum, wi pacna tokosra ac mwet mweun watwen lun acn we.
3 You must march around the city, all the men of war going around the city one time. You must do this for six days.
Kom ac mwet mweun lom in fahsr rauneak acn we pacl se ke len se. Oru ouinge ke len onkosr.
4 Seven priests must carry seven trumpets of rams' horns before the ark. On the seventh day, you must march around the city seven times, and the priests must sound blasts on the trumpets.
Sap mwet tol itkosr in fahsr meet liki Tuptup in Wuleang ac us mwe ukuk orekla ke koen kosro. Ke len se akitkosr kowos fahsr rauni pacl itkosr, ac mwet tol elos in uk mwe ukuk natulos an.
5 Then they must sound a long blast with the ram's horn, and when you hear the sound of the trumpet all the people must shout with a great shout, and the wall of the city will fall down flat. The soldiers must attack, each one going straight ahead.”
Kowos fin lohng pacl se elos ukya mwe ukuk natulos ke sie pusra na loes, na mwet nukewa in sala ke sie pusra lulap, na pot uh ac fah raki, ac mwet nukewa fah utyak nu in siti sac.”
6 Then Joshua son of Nun called the priests and said to them, “Take up the ark of the covenant, and let seven priests carry seven trumpets of rams' horns in front of the ark of Yahweh.”
Ouinge Joshua el pangoneni mwet tol uh ac fahk nu selos, “Srukak Tuptup in Wuleang, ac itkosr mwet tol an in fahsr meet liki ac us mwe ukuk natulos.”
7 He said to the people, “Go over and march around the city, and the armed men will go ahead of the ark of Yahweh.”
Na el fahk nu sin mwet ah, “Fahsr, rauni siti an, ac ekasr mwet mweun an in fahsr meet liki Tuptup in Wuleang lun LEUM GOD.”
8 Just as Joshua had said to the people, the seven priests carried the seven trumpets of rams' horns before Yahweh. As they advanced, they gave a blast on the trumpets. The ark of the covenant of Yahweh followed after them.
Ke Joshua el fahkla ma inge nu sin mwet ah, na mwet tol itkosr ma utuk mwe ukuk ah fahsryak ac uk mwe ukuk natulos, ac Tuptup in Wuleang fahsr tokolos.
9 Armed men walked before the priests, and they made a blast on their trumpets, but then the rear guard walked up behind the ark, and the priests blew their trumpets continually.
Kutu sin mwet mweun fahsr meet liki mwet tol su uk mwe ukuk natulos uh, ac mwet mweun lula ah elos fahsr tukun Tuptup sac. In pacl se inge mwe ukuk ah nuna ukuk na.
10 But Joshua commanded the people, saying, “Do not shout. No sound must leave your mouths until the day I tell you to shout. Only then you must shout.”
Tusruktu Joshua el fahkang nu sin mwet uh, “Nimet kowos sasa ku wowon. Nimet kaskas nwe ke na len se nga fahk mu kowos in sala. In pacl sacn na kowos tufah sala!”
11 So he caused the ark of Yahweh to go around the city one time that day. Then they entered their camp, and they stayed the night in the camp.
Na el sap Tuptup in Wuleang in utuk rauneak siti ah ke pacl se. Na mwet uh folokla nu in lohm nuknuk selos ac mongla ke fong sac.
12 Then Joshua got up early in the morning, and the priests picked up the ark of Yahweh.
Joshua el toang ngutalik ke len se tok ah, ac mwet tol elos srukak Tuptup in Wuleang sac.
13 The seven priests, who were carrying the seven trumpets of rams' horns in front of the ark of Yahweh, walked steadily and gave blasts on the trumpets. Armed soldiers were walking in front of them. But when the rear guard walked after the ark of Yahweh, then the trumpets gave out continual blasts.
Mwet tol itkosr ma us mwe ukuk itkosr ah fahsryak ac fahsr meet liki Tuptup sac ac uk mwe ukuk natulos. Kutu mwet mweun ah fahsr meet liki Tuptup sac ac kutu toko. In pacl se inge, mwe ukuk ah na ukuk na.
14 They marched around the city one time the second day and returned to the camp. They did this for six days.
Ouinge ke len se akluo ah elos rauneak pac siti sac pacl se, na elos folokla nu lohm nuknuk selos. Elos oru na ouinge ke len onkosr.
15 It was on the seventh day that they got up early at daybreak, and they marched around the city in the same way that was their pattern, this time for seven times. It was on this day that they marched around the city seven times.
Len se akitkosr ah elos ngutalik ke srakna toang ac fahsr rauni siti sac pacl itkosr oana ke elos oru meet ah, sayen ke len se akitkosr elos raun pacl itkosr.
16 It was on the seventh day, when the priests gave a blast with the trumpets, that Joshua commanded the people, “Shout! For Yahweh has given you the city.
Ke mwet tol elos ukya mwe ukuk ah ke raun se akitkosr ah, Joshua el fahk nu sin mwet uh, “Sala, tuh LEUM GOD El asot nu suwos siti se inge!
17 The city and all that is in it will be set apart to Yahweh for destruction. Only Rahab the prostitute will live—she and all the ones with her in her house—because she hid the men we sent.
Siti sac ac ma nukewa loac ac fah kunausyukla. Rahab, mutan kosro sac, ac mwet nukewa in lohm sel elos mukena ac fah tia anwuki mweyen el tuh okanla mwet kalngeyuk su kut supwala nu we ah.
18 But as for you, be on guard about taking the things set apart for destruction, so that after you mark them for destruction, you do not then take any of them. If you do this, you will make the camp of Israel something that must be destroyed and you will bring trouble on it.
Tusruk karinginkowosyang tuh kowos in tia srukak kutena ma fal in kunausyukla. Kowos fin srukak, na kowos ac fah sang mwata nu fin mwet Israel nukewa.
19 All the silver, gold, and the things made of bronze and iron are set apart to Yahweh. They must go into the treasury of Yahweh.”
Gold ac silver, ac ma orek ke osra bronze ac iron nukewa ac fah srisrila nu sin LEUM GOD. Ma inge fah utukla nu ke nien filma lun LEUM GOD.”
20 When they gave blasts with the trumpets, the people gave a great shout and the wall fell down flat, so every man charged straight in and captured the city.
Pacl se ma mwe ukuk uh kasla mwet nukewa sala, ac ke pusren ukuk ah kasla ac mwet uh sala, na pot uh mukukla; oru mwet nukewa yuyang ac eisla siti sac.
21 They completely destroyed all that was in the city by the edge of the sword—man and woman, young and old, oxen, sheep and donkeys.
Elos onela ma nukewa ke cutlass — mukul, mutan, tulik, mwet matu ac kain in kosro nukewa in siti sac.
22 Then Joshua said to the two men who had spied out the land, “Go into the prostitute's house. Bring out the woman and all who are with her, as you swore to her.”
Joshua el fahk nu sin mwet luo ma tuh som kalngeyuk in siti sac, “Fahla nu in lohm sin mutan kosro sac ac usalu, wi mwet nukewa in lohm sel an, in fal nu ke wulela lomtal nu sel.”
23 So the young men who had been spies went in and brought Rahab out. They brought out her father, mother, brothers, and all the relatives that were with her. They brought them to a place outside the camp of Israel.
Ouinge, mwet luo ah som ac usalu Rahab, papa tumal, nina kial, tamulel wial ac mwet nukewa in lohm sel. Elos use nufon mwet in sou lal, ac oakelosi in sie acn sisken acn mwet Israel elos muta we.
24 They burned the city and everything in it. Only the silver, gold, and the vessels of bronze and iron were put into the treasury of the house of Yahweh.
Na elos esukak siti sac nufon ac ma nukewa ma oan loac. Tusruktu gold ac silver ac ma orekla ke bronze ac iron nukewa utukla nu nien filma lun LEUM GOD.
25 But Joshua allowed Rahab the prostitute, her father's household, and all that were with her to live. She lives in Israel to this day because she hid the men whom Joshua sent to spy on Jericho.
Tusruktu Joshua el molella Rahab, mutan kosro sac, wi sou lal nukewa, mweyen Rahab el tuh okanla mwet kalngeyuk luo ah; na sou sac elos srakna muta inmasrlon mwet Israel nwe misenge.
26 Then Joshua commanded them at that time with an oath, and he said, “Cursed is the man in Yahweh's sight who rebuilds this city, Jericho. At the cost of his firstborn son, he will lay the foundation, and at the cost of his youngest son, he will set up its gates.”
Ke pacl sac Joshua el orala sie fulahk ac fahk, “Kutena mwet fin srike in sifil musaeak siti Jericho, el ac fah selngawiyuk sin LEUM GOD. Mwet se fin sifil oakiya pwelung lun siti uh, Wen se oemeet natul ac fah misa. Mwet se fin musai mutunpot lun siti uh, Wen se oetok natul ac fah misa.”
27 So Yahweh was with Joshua, and his fame spread throughout the land.
Ouinge LEUM GOD El welul Joshua, ac pweng kacl fahsrelik nu fin facl sac nufon.
