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.
Afei, Yosua somaa akwansrafoɔ baanu wɔ kɔkoam firii Israelfoɔ atenaeɛ a ɛwɔ Sitim. Ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Monkɔsra asase a ɛda Yordan agya no, ne titire ne deɛ atwa Yeriko ho ahyia no.” Enti, mmarima baanu no sii mu kɔduruu odwamanfoɔ bi a ne din de Rahab fie na wɔtenaa hɔ anadwo no.
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.
Obi kɔka kyerɛɛ Yerikohene sɛ, “Anadwo yi ara, Israelfoɔ no bi aba ha a wɔrebɛsra asase yi.”
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.
Enti Yerikohene soma kɔɔ Rahab nkyɛn kɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Fa mmarima a wɔabɛsoɛ wo no ma yɛn. Wɔyɛ akwansrafoɔ a wɔrebɛsra yɛn asase yi ahwehwɛ ɛkwan a wɔbɛfa so ato ahyɛ yɛn so.”
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;
Rahab a na ɔde mmarima baanu no asie no buaa sɛ, “Mmarima no baa me ha deɛ, nanso mennim baabi a wɔfiri baeɛ.
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.
Adeɛ reyɛ asa a wɔrebɛtoto kuropɔn no apono mu no na wɔkɔeɛ, nso manhunu baabi a wɔfaeɛ. Sɛ moyɛ ntɛm ti wɔn a, ebia, mobɛto wɔn.”
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.
(Nanso, na ɔde wɔn akɔhyɛ ɛdan atifi, akɔhinta ɔkyɛnkyɛn a waboa ano akuakuo ase.)
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.
Enti, ɔhene asomafoɔ no sii mu sɛ wɔrekɔhwehwɛ akwansrafoɔ no wɔ ɛkwan a ɛkɔ Asubɔnten Yordan atwareeɛ hɔ. Asomafoɔ no firii hɔ ara pɛ na wɔtotoo kuropɔn no apono mu.
8 Thei that weren hid, slepten not yit, and lo! the womman stiede to hem, and seide,
Ansa na akwansrafoɔ no rebɛda anadwo no, Rahab kɔɔ ɛdan no atifi ne wɔn kɔkasaeɛ sɛ,
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.
“Menim sɛ Awurade de saa asase yi ama mo. Yɛn nyinaa suro mo. Yɛn mu biara abɔ huboa.
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;
Yɛate sɛdeɛ Awurade maa Ɛpo Kɔkɔɔ no weeɛ ma monyaa ɛkwan faa mu ɛberɛ a mofirii Misraim no. Na yɛnim sɛdeɛ moyɛɛ Sihon ne Og a na wɔyɛ Amorifoɔ ahemfo wɔ Asubɔnten Yordan apueeɛ fam no ne sɛdeɛ mosɛee wɔn nkurɔfoɔ pasaa no.
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.
Ɛnyɛ nwanwa sɛ yɛn akoma atu na yɛabɔ huboa. Obiara nni akokoɔduru a sɛ ɔte nsɛm a ɛte sei a, ɔbɛko. Na Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn no, ne otumfoɔ Onyankopɔn a ɔwɔ sorosoro ne asase ase.
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,
“Enti momfa Awurade nka ntam nkyerɛ me sɛ, ɛsiane sɛ maboa mo enti, mobɛyɛ me ne mʼabusuafoɔ adom. Momfa biribi nsi mo bɔhyɛ so sɛ,
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.
moko fa Yeriko a, morenkum me ne mʼagya ne me maame, me nuammarima ne nuammaa ne wɔn mʼabusuafoɔ nyinaa.”
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.
Mmarima no penee so kaa sɛ, “Yɛde yɛn nkwa si yɛn bɔhyɛ so. Sɛ woanyi yɛn amma na sɛ Awurade de asase no ma yɛn a, yɛbɛdi yɛn bɔhyɛ so.”
15 Therfor sche let hem doun fro the wyndow bi a corde; for hir hows cleuyde to the wal.
Esiane sɛ wɔsii Rahab fie sii kuro no ɔfasuo so enti, ɔde ahoma sianee wɔn faa mpomma mu ma wɔsii fam.
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.
Afei ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Monnwane mfa bepɔ so ɔman no so. Momfa mo ho nsie nnansa kɔsi sɛ atifoɔ no a wɔrehwehwɛ mo no bɛsane wɔn akyi ansa na moakɔ mo kwan.”
17 Whiche seiden to hir, We schulen be giltles of this ooth, bi which thou hast chargid vs,
Ansa na mmarima no bɛkɔ no, wɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Yɛbɛbɔ mo nkwa ho ban
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,
na mmom, gya ahoma kɔkɔɔ a ɛsɛn wo mpomma ano no na ma wʼabusuafoɔ a ɛyɛ wʼagya, wo maame, wo nuammarima ne wɔn mmusuafoɔ nyinaa mmɛhyɛ efie no mu a wɔnnkɔ baabiara.
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.
Sɛ wɔpue si abɔntene a, wɔbɛkum wɔn nyinaa na obi rentumi mmɔ yɛn soboɔ sɛ yɛabu yɛn ntam so. Na yɛka ntam sɛ, obiara a ɔhyɛ efie yi mu no, wɔrenkum no. Obiara nso rentene ne nsa wɔ wɔn so.
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.
Na sɛ wodi yɛn hwammɔ deɛ a, ntam yi renkyekyere yɛn wɔ ɛkwan biara so.”
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.
Ɔbaa no buaa sɛ, “Mepene mo nhyehyɛeɛ no nyinaa so.” Ɔgyaa wɔn ɛkwan wɔ ɛberɛ a ahoma kɔkɔɔ no sɛne efie no mpomma no ano.
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.
Akwansrafoɔ no kɔɔ bepɔ asase no so kɔtenaa hɔ nnansa. Atifoɔ no hwehwɛɛ ɛkwan no so baabiara, sane kɔɔ wɔn kurom a wɔanhunu akwansrafoɔ no wɔ baabiara.
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;
Afei akwansrafoɔ baanu no siane firii bepɔ asase no so twaa Asubɔnten Yordan bɛkaa nsɛm a ɛtoo wɔn nyinaa kyerɛɛ Yosua.
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.
Wɔkaa sɛ, “Ampa ara Awurade de asase no nyinaa bɛma yɛn, ɛfiri sɛ, yɛn ho hu atɔ nnipa a wɔwɔ asase no so nyinaa so.”
