Joshua 2
1 And Joshua son of Nun sendeth from Shittim, two men, spies, silently, saying, 'Go, see the land — and Jericho;' and they go and come into the house of a woman, a harlot, and her name [is] Rahab, and they lie down there.
Nirahe’Iehosoa ana’ i None, boake Sitime aman’ etake ty mpitingañe, ami’ty hoe: Akia, tiliho i taney naho Ierikò. Aa le nienga mb’eo iereo naho nivotrak’ añ’ anjomba’ ty karapilo atao Rakabe, vaho nandre ao.
2 And it is told to the king of Jericho, saying, 'Lo, men have come in hither to-night, from the sons of Israel, to search the land.
Sinaontsy amy mpanjaka’ Ierikooy, ty hoe: Inao pok’ atoy amo haleñe zao ty boak’ amo ana’ Israeleo hitsoetsoek’ an-tane atoy.
3 And the king of Jericho sendeth unto Rahab, saying, 'Bring out the men who are coming in unto thee, who have come into thy house, for to search the whole of the land they have come in.
Aa le nañirak’ amy Rakabe ty mpanjaka’ Ieriko, nanao ty hoe: Akaro ondaty nimb’ama’o mb’eoo, o nimoak’ an-traño’oo, ie te hifilo an-tane atoy ty niziliha’ iareo atoa.
4 And the woman taketh the two men, and hideth them, and saith thus: 'The men came in unto me, and I have not known whence they [are];
Fe nendese’ i rakembay indaty roe rey naho naeta’e, aa le nanoe’e ty hoe: Eka, nimb’ amako atoy ondatio, fa nofiko ty nihirifa’ iareo;
5 and it cometh to pass — the gate is to [be] shut — in the dark, and the men have gone out; I have not known whither the men have gone; pursue ye, hasten after them, for ye overtake them;'
ie amy fandrindriñañe i lalam-beiy naho fa nimaieñe, le niavotse indaty rey; fe tsy apotako ty nomba’ indaty rey; horidaño aniany le ho trà’ areo.
6 and she hath caused them to go up on the roof, and hideth them with the flax wood, which is arranged for her on the roof.
Toe nendese’e an-tafo traño vaho naeta’e an-tahon-dène ao, o fa nalafi’e an-tafoo.
7 And the men have pursued after them the way of the Jordan, by the fords, and the gate they have shut afterwards, when the pursuers have gone out after them.
Aa le hinorida’ ondatio mb’an-dala’ Iardeney mb’eo pak’amo fitsahañeo añe; ie vata’e niènga o nañoridañeo, le narindriñe i lalam-beiy.
8 And — before they lie down — she hath gone up unto them on the roof,
Aa ie mbe tsy nandre iareo le nanganike mb’ am’ iereo an-tafo mb’eo;
9 and she saith unto the men, 'I have known that Jehovah hath given to you the land, and that your terror hath fallen upon us, and that all the inhabitants of the land have melted at your presence.
le hoe re am’indaty rey: Fantako te natolo’ Iehovà ama’ areo o taneo, fa nidok’ ama’ay ty firevendreveñañe ama’areo vaho mitsolofìñe aolo’ areo ze fonga mpimoneñe an-tane atoy.
10 'For we have heard how Jehovah dried up the waters of the Red Sea at your presence, in your going out of Egypt, and that which ye have done to the two kings of the Amorite who [are] beyond the Jordan; to Sihon and to Og whom ye devoted.
Fa jinanji’ay te nimaihe’ Iehovà aolo’ areo i Ria-Binday, amy niavota’ areo amy Mitsaraimey; naho i nanoe’ areo amy mpanjaka roe nte-Amore, alafe’ Iardeney añe reiy, i Sihone naho i Oge, ie vata’e narotsa’ areo.
11 And we hear, and melt doth our heart, and there hath not stood any more spirit in [any] man, from your presence, for Jehovah your God, He [is] God in the heavens above, and on the earth beneath.
Ie nahajanjiñe izay le nitranake o tro’aio, leo ondaty raike tsy aman-joton’ arofo ty ama’ areo amy te toe Andrianañahare andikerañe ambone ao naho an-tane ambane atoy t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo.
12 'And now, swear ye, I pray you, to me by Jehovah — because I have done with you kindness — that ye have done, even ye, kindness with the house of my father, and have given to me a true token,
Aa le miambane ama’ areo, mifantà amako añam’ Iehovà, kanao nitretrèzeko, le ho tretreze’ areo ka ty akiban-draeko—ehe anoloro antoke-to—
13 and have kept alive my father, and my mother, and my brothers, and my sisters, and all that they have, and have delivered our souls from death.'
te havotso’ areo ho veloñe ty raeko naho i reneko naho o rahalahikoo naho o rahavavekoo naho o vara’ iareo iabio vaho ho hahà’ areo ty fiai’ay tsy hivetrake.
14 And the men say to her, 'Our soul for yours — to die; if ye declare not this our matter, then it hath been, in Jehovah's giving to us this land, that we have done with thee kindness and truth.'
Le hoe indaty rey ama’e, Hasolo ty fiai’areo ty anay, naho tsy talilie’ areo o fitoloña’aio; ie amy zao, naho atolo’ Iehovà anay o taneo, le hatarik’ ama’o an-kavañonan-jahay.
15 And she causeth them to go down by a rope through the window, for her house [is] in the side of the wall, and in the wall she [is] dwelling;
Aa le nazotso’e an-taly amy lafinetiy iereo; amy te añate’ i kijoliy ty anjomba’e, fa ambone’ i rindriñey ty nitoboha’e.
16 and she saith to them, 'To the mountain go, lest the pursuers come upon you; and ye have been hidden there three days till the turning back of the pursuers, and afterwards ye go on your way.'
Le hoe re am’ iereo, Akia mb’ an-kaboam-b’eo, tsy mone hifanalaka ama’ areo o mpañoridañeo, naho mietaha añe telo andro, ampara’ te mitampoly o mpañotrokeo; izay vaho hañavelo mb’eo nahareo.
17 And the men say unto her, 'We are acquitted of this thine oath which thou hast caused us to swear:
Aa hoe ondatio ama’e, Ho haha amy fanta nampifantà’o anaiy zahay,
18 lo, we are coming into the land, this line of scarlet thread thou dost bind to the window by which thou hast caused us to go down, and thy father, and thy mother, and thy brethren, and all the house of thy father thou dost gather unto thee, to the house;
naho tsy arohi’o amy lafinety nanjotsoa’o anaiy ty fole mena toy, t’ie mimoak’ an-tane atoy; le hendese’o añ’akiba’o ao ty rae’o naho i rene’o naho o longo’oo vaho o anjomban-drae’o iabio.
19 and it hath been, any one who goeth out from the doors of thy house without, his blood [is] on his head, and we are innocent; and any one who is with thee in the house, his blood [is] on our head, if a hand is on him;
Ie amy zao, ze hiakatse o lalan’ anjomba’oo mb’ an-damoke mb’eo, le ho an-doha’e ty lio’e, vaho ho afa-kakeo zahay; f’ie hitraok’ ama’o amy akibay ao, le ho an-doha’ay ty lio ze paohem-pitàñe.
20 and if thou declare this our matter, then we have been acquitted from thine oath which thou hast caused us to swear.'
Aa naho saontsie’o o fitoloña’ay zao, le halio-tahin-jahay amy fanta nampititihe’o anaiy.
21 And she saith, 'According unto your words, so it [is];' and she sendeth them away, and they go; and she bindeth the scarlet line to the window.
Le hoe re: O saontsi’ areoo ro ie. Nirahe’e mb’eo le niavotse iereo vaho narohi’e amy lafineti’ey i fole menay.
22 And they go, and come in to the mountain, and abide there three days until the pursuers have turned back; and the pursuers seek in all the way, and have not found.
Ie nañavelo, le nipok’ am-bohitsey vaho nañialo ao telo andro, ampara’ te nitampoly o mpañotrokeo; tsinoetsoe’ o mpañoridañeo mb’eo mb’eo amy lalañey fe tsy nahaisake.
23 And the two men turn back, and come down from the hill, and pass over, and come in unto Joshua son of Nun, and recount to him all that hath come upon them;
Aa le niavotse indaty rey, nizotso boak’ am-bohibohitse ao, le nitsake, naho niheo mb’am’ Iehosoa ana’ i None mb’eo, vaho nitalily i nifetsak’ ama’ iareoy.
24 and they say unto Joshua, 'Surely Jehovah hath given into our hand all the land; and also, all the inhabitants of the land have melted at our presence.'
Le hoe ty asa’ iareo am’ Iehosoa: Toe natolo’ Iehovà am-pitàn-tikañe i tane iabiy vaho mitsolofiñe aolon-tikañe ze hene mpimoneñe amy taney.
