< Joshua 2 >

1 Therfor Josue, the sone of Nun, sente fro Sethym twei men, aspieris in hiddlis, and seide to hem, Go ye, and biholde ye the lond, and the citee of Jerico. Whiche yeden, and entriden into the hous of a womman hoore, `Raab bi name, and restiden at hir.
Wuta na Shitimi, Jozue, mwana mobali ya Nuni, atindaki na nkuku banongi mibale; alobaki na bango: — Bokende kononga mokili, mingi-mingi Jeriko. Boye, bakendeki mpe bakotaki na ndako ya mwasi moko ya ndumba, Raabi, mpe bavandaki kuna.
2 And it was teld, `and seid to the kyng of Jerico, Lo! men of the sones of Israel entriden hidir bi nyyt, to aspie the lond.
Bayebisaki mokonzi ya Jeriko: — Tala, bato moko kati na bana ya Isalaele bayaki awa na butu mpo na kononga mokili.
3 Therfor the kyng of Jerico sente to Raab the hoore, and seide, Brynge out the men, that camen to thee, and entriden in to thin hous; for thei ben aspieris, and thei camen to biholde al the lond.
Boye, mokonzi ya Jeriko atindaki maloba oyo epai ya Raabi: — Bimisa mibali oyo bayaki epai na yo mpe bakotaki na ndako na yo, pamba te bayei nde mpo na kononga mokili mobimba.
4 And the womman took the men, and hidde hem, and seide, Y knowleche, thei camen to me, but Y wiste not of whenus thei weren;
Kasi mwasi yango akamataki mibali wana mibale mpe abombaki bango. Alobaki: — Solo, mibali bayaki epai na ngai, kasi nayebaki te esika bango bawutaki.
5 and whanne the yate was closid in derknessis, and thei yeden out to gidire, Y noot whidur thei yeden; pursue ye soone, and ye schulen take hem.
Bakendeki na pokwa na tango oyo bakangaka ekuke ya engumba. Nayebi mpe te soki bakendeki na nzela nini. Bolanda bango noki. Bokoki solo kokanga bango.
6 Forsothe sche made the men to stie in to the soler of hir hows, and hilide hem with stobil of flex, that was there.
Nzokande amatisaki bango likolo ya mwanza ya ndako mpe abombaki bango na se ya matiti oyo basalelaka bilamba ya lino, oyo atiaki likolo ya mwanza.
7 Sotheli thei, that weren sent, sueden hem bi the weie that ledith to the fordis of Jordan; and whanne thei weren goon out, anoon the yate was closid.
Bongo, batindami ya mokonzi babimaki mpo na kolanda banongi na nzela oyo ekenda kino na esika oyo bakatiselaka ebale Yordani na makolo. Tango kaka batindami yango babimaki na engumba, bakangaki mpe mbala moko ekuke.
8 Thei that weren hid, slepten not yit, and lo! the womman stiede to hem, and seide,
Na butu, liboso ete banongi balala, Raabi amataki likolo ya mwanza
9 Y knowe that the Lord hath bitake to you this lond; for youre feerdfulnesse felde in to vs, and alle the dwelleris of the lond `weren sike.
mpe alobaki na bango: — Nayebi ete Yawe apesi mokili oyo na maboko na bino. Tozali na somo makasi mpo na bino mpe bavandi nyonso ya engumba oyo bazali kolenga na somo likolo na bino.
10 We herden, that the Lord driede the watris of the Reed See at youre entryng, whanne ye yeden out of Egipt; and what thingis ye diden to twei kyngis of Ammorreis, that weren biyende Jordan, to Seon and Og, whiche ye killiden;
Toyokaki ndenge nini Yawe akawusaki Ebale monene ya Barozo liboso na bino tango bobimaki na Ejipito, mpe makambo oyo bosalaki Sikoni mpe Ogi, bakonzi mibale ya bato ya Amori, oyo bobomaki penza na ngambo ya este ya Yordani.
11 and we herden these thingis, and we dredden, and oure herte `was sike, and spirit dwellide not in vs at youre entryng; for youre Lord God hym silf is God in heuene aboue, and in erthe bynethe.
Tango toyokaki sango yango, mitema na biso ebukanaki mpe makasi ya moko na moko kati na biso esilaki likolo na bino, pamba te Yawe, Nzambe na bino, azali Nzambe ya likolo, kuna penza na lola, mpe Nzambe ya se, awa na mabele.
12 Now therfor swere ye to me bi the Lord God, that as Y dide merci with you, so and ye do with the hows of my fadir; and yyue ye to me a veri signe,
Boye sik’oyo, bolapa ndayi liboso na ngai na Kombo na Yawe ete bokosalela libota na ngai bolamu ndenge ngai nasaleli bino. Bopesa ngai elembo ya solo;
13 that ye saue my fadir and modir, and my britheren and sistris, and alle thingis that ben herne, and dilyuere oure lyues fro deeth.
elembo oyo ekolakisa ete bokobikisa bomoi ya tata mpe ya mama na ngai, ya bandeko na ngai ya mibali mpe ya basi mpe ya bato nyonso oyo bavandaka elongo na bango, mpe lisusu ete bokobikisa biso na kufa.
14 Whiche answeriden to hir, Oure lijf be for you in to deeth, if netheles thou bitraiest not vs; and whanne the Lord hath bitake to vs the lond, we schulen do mercy and treuthe in thee.
Banongi bayebisaki ye: — Solo, tolapi ndayi, tokondima kokufa mpo na bino soki olobi te makambo oyo tozali kosala. Tokosalela bino bolamu mpe ngolu tango Yawe akopesa biso mokili oyo.
15 Therfor sche let hem doun fro the wyndow bi a corde; for hir hows cleuyde to the wal.
Boye, Raabi abimisaki bango na lininisa mpe akitisaki bango na singa, pamba te ndako oyo azalaki kovanda ezalaki ya kokangama na eteni ya mir ya engumba.
16 And sche seide to hem, Stie ye to the hilli places, lest perauenture men turnynge ayen meete you; and be ye hidde there three daies, til thei comen ayen; and so ye schulen go bi youre weie.
Alobaki na bango: — Bokende na nzela ya bangomba ya mikuse mpo ete bato oyo bazali kolanda bino bamona bino te. Bobombama kuna mikolo misato kino tango bakozonga, bongo nde bokoki kokoba nzela na bino.
17 Whiche seiden to hir, We schulen be giltles of this ooth, bi which thou hast chargid vs,
Banongi balobaki na ye: — Tokozala na ngambo te na ndayi oyo olapisi biso
18 if, whanne we entren in to the lond, this reed corde is not a signe, and thou byndist it not in the wyndow, bi which thou lettist vs doun; and thou gaderist not in to thi hows thi fadir and modir, and britheren, and al thi kynrede; the blood of hym schal be on his heed,
soki, tango tokokota na mokili, okokangisa singa oyo ya motane na lininisa oyo okitiseli biso mpe okosangisa, kati na ndako na yo, tata mpe mama na yo, bandeko mpe bato nyonso ya libota na yo.
19 that goith out at the dore of thin hows, and we schulen be alien, that is, giltles; forsothe the blood of alle men that ben in the hows with thee, schal turne in to oure heed, if ony man touchith hem.
Soki moto moko abimi libanda ya ndako na yo mpe akei na balabala, makila na ye ekotangama na moto na ye moko; ekozala ngambo na biso te. Kasi soki babomi moto moko kati na bato oyo bakozala kati na ndako na yo, wana makila na ye ekotangama na mito na biso.
20 `That if thou wolt betraie vs, and brynge forth in to the myddis this word, we schulen be cleene of this ooth, bi which thou hast chargid vs.
Soki mpe olobi makambo oyo biso tozali kosala, tokozala na ngambo te liboso ya ndayi oyo olapisi biso.
21 And sche answeride, As ye han spoke, so be it doon. And sche lefte hem, that thei schulden go, and sche hangide a reed corde in her wyndow.
Raabi azongisaki: — Boye, tika ete esalema ndenge bolobi. Atikaki bango kokende, mpe bakabwanaki. Bongo na sima, akangisaki singa ya motane na lininisa.
22 Sotheli thei yeden, and camen to the hilli places, and dwelliden there three daies, til thei turneden ayen that pursueden; for thei souyten bi ech weie, and founden not hem.
Sima na bango kokabwana, bakendeki na bangomba mikuse mpe bavandaki kuna mikolo misato kino tango bato oyo bazalaki kolanda bango balembaki koluka bango na nzela nyonso. Lokola bamonaki bango te, bazongaki na bango.
23 And whanne the sekeris entriden in to the citee, the spieris turneden ayen, and camen doun fro the hille; and whanne thei hadde passid Jordan, thei camen to Josue, the sone of Nun;
Banongi oyo mibale bazongelaki nzela na bango, babimaki na bangomba mikuse, bakatisaki ebale mpe bakomaki kino epai ya Jozue, mwana mobali ya Nuni. Bayebisaki ye makambo nyonso oyo ekomelaki bango.
24 and thei telden to hym alle thingis that bifelden to hem, and seiden, The Lord hath bitake al the lond in to oure hondis, and alle the dwelleris thereof ben casten doun bi drede.
Balobaki na Jozue: — Solo, Yawe apesi mokili oyo nyonso na maboko na biso; bato nyonso bazali kolenga liboso na biso.
