Joshua 2
1 And Joshua the son of Nun sent from Shittim two men to spy secretly, saying, Go, view the land, even Jericho. And they went, and came into the house of a harlot, named Rahab, and lodged there.
Ergasii Iyyaasuun ilmi Nuuni, “Dhaqaatii biyya sana, keessumattuu Yerikoo basaasaa” jedhee dhoksaan basaastota lama biyya Shixiimiitii erge. Isaanis deemanii mana sagaagaltittii Rahaab jedhamtu tokkoo seenanii achuma turan.
2 And it was told the king of Jericho, saying, Behold, there came men in hither to-night of the children of Israel, to search out the country.
Mooticha Yerikoottis, “Kunoo! Israaʼeloota keessaa namoonni tokko tokko biyyattii basaasuuf galgala kana as dhufaniiru” jedhamee himame.
3 And the king of Jericho sent to Rahab, saying, Bring forth the men that have come to thee, who have entered into thy house: for they have come to search out all the country.
Kanaafuu mootichi Yerikoo, “Sababii isaan guutummaa biyyattii basaasuuf dhufaniif namoota gara kee dhufanii mana kee seenan sana gad baasi” jedhee dhaamsa kana Rahaabitti erge.
4 And the woman took the two men, and hid them, and said thus, There came men to me, but I knew not whence they [were]:
Dubartittiin garuu namoota lamaan fuutee dhoksite. Isheenis akkana jette; “Dhuguma namoonni gara koo dhufaniiru; ani garuu akka isaan eessaa dhufan hin beekne.
5 And it came to pass [about the time] of shutting the gate, when it was dark, that the men went out: whither the men went, I know not: pursue after them quickly; for ye will overtake them.
Isaanis galgala yommuu yeroon karri magaalattii cufamu gaʼetti baʼanii deeman. Karaa isaan deemanis ani hin beeku. Isaan qaqqabdu taʼaatii dafaa isaan duukaa buʼaa.”
6 But she had brought them up to the roof of the house, and hid them with the stalks of flax, which she had laid in order upon the roof.
Isheen garuu gara bantii manaatti ol isaan baaftee cidii talbaa kan bantii manaa irratti tuultee turte jala isaan dhoksite.
7 And the men pursued them the way to Jordan to the fords: and as soon as they who pursued them had gone out, they shut the gate.
Kanaafuu namoonni basaastota sana duukaa buʼuudhaaf karaa gara malkaa Yordaanos geessu irra buʼanii qajeelan; karri sunis akkuma duukaa buutonni sun baʼaniin cufame.
8 And before they had lain down, she came up to them upon the roof;
Isheenis utuu basaastonni sun buluuf hin ciciisin gara bantii manaatti ol baatee
9 And she said to the men, I know that the LORD hath given you the land, and that your terror hath fallen upon us, and that all the inhabitants of the land faint because of you.
akkana isaaniin jette; “Ani akka Waaqayyo biyya kana isinii kennee fi akka isin sodaachuun nurra buʼes nan beeka; namni biyya kana keessa jiraatu hundinuus sababii keessaniif fuula keessan duratti sodaadhaan hollachaa jira.
10 For we have heard how the LORD dried up the water of the Red sea for you, when ye came out of Egypt; and what ye did to the two kings of the Amorites, that [were] on the other side of Jordan, Sihon and Og, whom ye utterly destroyed.
Yommuu isin Gibxii baatanitti akka itti Waaqayyo Galaana Diimaa fuula keessan duratti gogse, waan isinis Sihoonii fi Oogi mootota Amoorotaa kanneen gama baʼa Yordaanositti guutumaan guutuutti balleessitan sana lamaan gootan dhageenyeerra.
11 And as soon as we had heard [these things], our hearts did melt, neither did there remain any more courage in any man, because of you: for the LORD your God, he [is] God in heaven above, and in earth beneath.
Nu yommuu waaʼee waan kanaa dhageenyetti sababii keessaniif onneen keenya baqxee abdii kutanne. Waaqayyo Waaqni keessan ol samii gubbaatti, gad lafa irrattis Waaqaatii.
12 Now therefore, I pray you, swear to me by the LORD, since I have showed you kindness, that ye will also show kindness to my father's house, and give me a true token:
“Egaa amma sababii ani garaa isinii laafeef isinis akkasuma akka maatii kootiif garaa laaftan maqaa Waaqayyootiin naa kakadhaa. Mallattoo dhugaas naa kennaa;
13 And [that] ye will save alive my father, and my mother, and my brethren, and my sisters, and all that they have, and deliver our lives from death.
kunis akka isin lubbuu abbaa kootii, haadha kootii, obbolootaa fi obboleettota kootii, waan kan isaanii taʼe hundaa fi lubbuu keenya duʼa oolchitaniif.”
14 And the men answered her, Our life for yours, if ye utter not this our business. And it shall be, when the LORD hath given us the land, that we will deal kindly and truly with thee.
Namoonnis, “Lubbuun keenya sababii lubbuu keessaniitiif haa badduu! Yoo isin waan nu hojjennu kana namatti himuu baattan nu yommuu Waaqayyo biyya kana nuu kennutti gara laafinaa fi amanamummaadhaan si simanna” jedhanii ishee abdachiisan.
15 Then she let them down by a cord through the window: for her house [was] upon the town-wall, and she dwelt upon the wall.
Kanaafuu isheen sababii manni isheen keessa jiraattu sun dallaa magaalattiitiin wal qabatuuf foddaa keessaan funyoodhaan gad isaan buufte.
16 And she said to them, Depart to the mountain, lest the pursuers meet you; and hide yourselves there three days, until the pursuers have returned: and afterward ye may go your way.
Isheenis akkana isaaniin jette; “Akka warri isin duukaa buʼan sun isin hin argineef gara gaarraniitti baqadhaa. Hamma isaan deebiʼanitti guyyoota sadii achitti dhokadhaa; ergasii immoo karaa keessan deemaa.”
17 And the men said to her, We [will be] blameless of this thy oath which thou hast made us swear.
Namoonni sunis akkana jedhaniin; “Kakuun ati nu kakachiifte kun kan nu qabachuu dandaʼu,
18 Behold, [when] we come into the land, thou shalt bind this line of scarlet thread in the window by which thou didst let us down: and thou shalt bring thy father, and thy mother, and thy brethren, and all thy father's household home to thee.
yoo ati yommuu nu biyyattii seennutti funyoo bildiimaa kana foddaa ittiin gad nu buufte kanatti hiitee abbaa keetii fi haadha kee, obboloota keetii fi maatii kee hunda mana keetti galchite qofa.
19 And it shall be, [that] whoever shall go out of the doors of thy house into the street, his blood [shall be] upon his head, and we [will be] guiltless: and whoever shall be with thee in the house, his blood [shall be] on our head, if [any] hand be upon him.
Namni tokko iyyuu yoo mana kee keessaa gara daandii alaatti gad baʼe, dhiigni isaa matuma isaatti deebiʼa; nu itti hin gaafatamnu. Nama si wajjin mana kee keessa jiru immoo yoo harki tokko iyyuu isa tuqe, dhiigni isaa mataa keenyatti deebiʼa.
20 And if thou shalt utter this our business, then we will be quit of thy oath which thou hast made us to swear.
Garuu yoo ati waan nu hojjennu kana namatti himte, nu kakuu ati nu kakachiifte sana jalaa bilisa baana.”
21 And she said, According to your words, so [be] it. And she sent them away, and they departed: and she bound the scarlet line in the window.
Isheenis, “Fudhadheera; akkuma isin jettan haa taʼu” jettee deebifte. Kanaafuu isheen isaan ergite; isaanis kaʼanii deeman. Isheen funyoo bildiimaa sana foddaa sanatti hiite.
22 And they went, and came to the mountain, and abode there three days, until the pursuers had returned: and the pursuers sought [them] throughout all the way, but found [them] not.
Isaanis yommuu baʼanitti gara gaarranii deemanii hamma duukaa buutonni sun karaa irra barbaadanii isaan dhabanii deebiʼanitti guyyaa sadii achi turan.
23 So the two men returned, and descended from the mountain, and passed over, and came to Joshua the son of Nun, and told him all [things] that befell them:
Basaastonni lamaan sunis deebiʼanii gaarran keessaa baʼanii malkaadhaan laga ceʼuudhaan gara Iyyaasuu ilma Nuuni dhufan; waan isaan irra gaʼe hundas isatti himan.
24 And they said to Joshua, Truly the LORD hath delivered into our hands all the land; for even all the inhabitants of the country do faint because of us.
Isaanis Iyyaasuudhaan, “Waaqayyo dhugumaan biyyattii guutuu harka keenyatti kenneera; namoonni hundinuus sababii keenyaaf sodaadhaan hollachaa jiru” jedhan.
