Joshua 6
1 (And Jericho shutteth itself up, and is shut up, because of the presence of the sons of Israel — none going out, and none coming in; )
Ma e mechiri ọnụ ụzọ e si abata Jeriko nke ọma, nʼihi ụmụ Izrel. Ọ dịghị onye ọbụla na-apụ nʼezi, ọ dịghịkwa onye na-abata nʼime ya.
2 And Jehovah saith unto Joshua, 'See, I have given into thy hand Jericho and its king — mighty ones of valour,
Ma Onyenwe anyị gwara Joshua sị, “Lee, enyefela m obodo a bụ Jeriko, ya na eze ya, na ndị dị ike ibu agha nọ nʼime ya, nʼaka gị.
3 and ye have compassed the city — all the men of battle — going round the city once; thus thou dost six days;
Gị na ndị agha gị zọọnụ ije gburugburu obodo a. Unu ga-ejegharị gburugburu mgbidi obodo a otu ugbo nʼụbọchị. Unu ga-esi otu a jegharịa ụbọchị isii.
4 and seven priests do bear seven trumpets of the jubilee before the ark, and on the seventh day ye compass the city seven times, and the priests blow with the trumpets,
Ndị nchụaja asaa, ndị ga-eji opi mpi ebule asaa ga-ebu ụzọ gawa nʼihu. Ndị nchụaja ndị ọzọ ga-ebu igbe ọgbụgba ndụ. Nʼụbọchị nke asaa, unu ga-agba obodo ahụ gburugburu ugboro asaa. Mgbe unu na-eme nke a, ndị nchụaja asaa ahụ ga na-afụ opi mpi ebule ha.
5 and it hath been, in the prolongation of the horn of the jubilee, in your hearing the voice of the trumpet, all the people shout — a great shout, and the wall of the city hath fallen under it, and the people have gone up, each over-against him.'
Emesịa, ndị nchụaja ga-afụsi opi ahụ ike otu ugbo ọzọ, ha ga-afụ ya ka ọ daa ụda nke ukwu. Mgbe mmadụ niile nụrụ ụda opi a, ha niile ga-eti mkpu nke ga-ada ezi ụda. Nke a ga-eme ka mgbidi obodo ahụ daa. Mgbe ahụ, onye agha ọbụla ga-esite nʼebe ọbụla ọ nọ banye nʼime obodo ahụ.”
6 And Joshua son of Nun calleth unto the priests, and saith unto them, 'Bear ye the ark of the covenant, and seven priests do bear seven trumpets of the jubilee before the ark of Jehovah;'
Ya mere, Joshua nwa Nun kpọrọ ndị nchụaja sị ha, “Burunu igbe ọgbụgba ndụ Onyenwe anyị ahụ, ka ndị nchụaja asaa nʼime unu werekwa opi mpi ebule buru ụzọ na-aga nʼihu ya.”
7 and He said unto the people, 'Pass over, and compass the city, and he who is armed doth pass over before the ark of Jehovah.'
Mgbe ahụ Joshua nyere ndị Izrel iwu sị ha, “Zọlịenụ ije! Gbaanụ obodo a gburugburu, ka ndị agha na-aga nʼihu igbe ọgbụgba ndụ Onyenwe anyị.”
8 And it cometh to pass, when Joshua speaketh unto the people, that the seven priests bearing seven trumpets of the jubilee before Jehovah have passed over and blown with the trumpets, and the ark of the covenant of Jehovah is going after them;
Mgbe Joshua gwachara ndị Izrel okwu, ndị nchụaja asaa ahụ bu opi ike nʼaka ha, nʼihu Onyenwe anyị, gafere nʼihu na-afụ opi ike ha. Ndị bu igbe ọgbụgba ndụ Onyenwe anyị sochiri ha azụ.
9 and he who is armed is going before the priests blowing the trumpets, and he who is gathering up is going after the ark, going on and blowing with the trumpets;
Ndị agha na-aga nʼihu ndị nchụaja bụ ndị na-afụ opi ike, ebe ndị agha ndị ọzọ na-esote igbe ọgbụgba ndụ nʼazụ. Nʼoge a niile ha na-azọ ije, ndị na-afụ opi ike gara nʼihu na-eme nke a.
10 and the people hath Joshua commanded, saying, 'Ye do not shout, nor cause your voice to be heard, nor doth there go out from your mouth a word, till the day of my saying unto you, Shout ye — then ye have shouted.'
Ma Joshua nyere ndị Izrel iwu sị ha, “Unu emela mkpọtụ agha ọbụla, maọbụ kwee ka anụ olu unu, maọbụ kwuo okwu ọbụla, tutu ruo ụbọchị m ga-asị unu tie mkpu. Mgbe m nyere unu iwu a, tienụ ezi mkpu.”
11 And the ark of Jehovah doth compass the city, going round once, and they come into the camp, and lodge in the camp.
Ya mere, e buuru igbe ọgbụgba ndụ Onyenwe anyị ahụ jegharịa obodo ahụ gburugburu otu ugboro nʼụbọchị ahụ. Mgbe ha mesịrị nke a, onye ọbụla laghachiri nʼebe ụlọ ikwu ya dị rahụ ụra abalị.
12 And Joshua riseth early in the morning, and the priests bear the ark of Jehovah,
Joshua biliri nʼisi ụtụtụ echi ya, ndị nchụaja bulikwara igbe ọgbụgba ndụ Onyenwe anyị.
13 and seven priests bearing seven trumpets of the jubilee before the ark of Jehovah are walking, going on, and they have blown with the trumpets — and he who is armed is going before them, and he who is gathering up is going behind the ark of Jehovah — going on and blowing with the trumpets.
Ndị nchụaja asaa ahụ bu opi ike asaa ndị ahụ, na-aga nʼihu igbe ọgbụgba ndụ Onyenwe anyị, na-afụ opi ike ha na-esepụghị aka. Ndị agha nọ nʼihu ha, ebe ndị nche na-eso ndị bu igbe ọgbụgba ndụ Onyenwe anyị nʼazụ, nʼoge niile a a na-afụ opi ike ndị a na-esepụghị aka.
14 And they compass the city on the second day once, and turn back to the camp; thus they have done six days.
Nʼụbọchị nke abụọ, ha gbara obodo ahụ gburugburu otu ugboro, laghachikwa nʼụlọ ikwu ha. Otu a ka ha mere ruo nʼụbọchị nke isii.
15 And it cometh to pass, on the seventh day, that they rise early, at the ascending of the dawn, and compass the city, according to this manner, seven times; (only, on that day they have compassed the city seven times);
Ma nʼisi ụtụtụ ụbọchị nke asaa, ha bilitere mgbe chi na-abọbeghị, gbaa obodo ahụ gburugburu ugboro asaa dịka ha na-eme. Ma ọ dị iche nʼụbọchị ahụ, bụ naanị na ha gbara obodo ahụ gburugburu ugboro asaa.
16 and it cometh to pass, at the seventh time, the priests have blown with the trumpets, and Joshua saith unto the people, 'Shout ye, for Jehovah hath given to you the city;
O ruo, nʼoge njegharị nke ugboro asaa ahụ, mgbe ndị nchụaja asaa ndị a fụsiri opi ike asaa ndị ahụ ike karịa, ka Joshua gwara ndị Izrel sị ha, “Tienụ mkpu! Nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị enyela unu obodo a!
17 and the city hath been devoted, it and all that [is] in it, to Jehovah; only Rahab the harlot doth live, she and all who [are] with her in the house, for she hid the messengers whom we sent;
Gbuonụ ihe niile na-eku ume ndụ, nʼihi na obodo a na ihe niile dị nʼime ha bụ ihe e doro nsọ nye Onyenwe anyị. Ma ọ bụ naanị Rehab, nwanyị akwụna ahụ ka unu ga-ahapụ ndụ, ya na ndị ọbụla nọ nʼụlọ ya. Nʼihi na o zoro ndị anyị zigara inyochapụta obodo ahụ.
18 and surely ye have kept from the devoted thing, lest ye devote [yourselves], and have taken from the devoted thing, and have made the camp of Israel become a devoted thing, and have troubled it;
Ma unu onwe unu, wezuganụ onwe unu pụọ nʼebe ihe ndị a kwadoro mbibi dị, ka unu gharakwa iweta ịla nʼiyi nye onwe unu site na iwere ihe ọbụla nʼime ha. Ma ọ bụghị otu a, unu ga-eme ka mbibi dakwasị ụlọ ikwu ụmụ Izrel niile.
19 and all the silver and gold, and vessels of brass and iron, holy they [are] to Jehovah; into the treasury of Jehovah they come.'
Ma ihe niile e ji ọlaọcha na ọlaedo kpụọ, na ihe niile e ji bronz na igwe kpụọ, ka a ga-edo iche nye Onyenwe anyị. A ga-ewebata ha nʼụlọakụ Onyenwe anyị.”
20 And the people shout, and blow with the trumpets, and it cometh to pass when the people hear the voice of the trumpet, that the people shout — a great shout, and the wall falleth under it, and the people goeth up into the city, each over-against him, and they capture the city;
Mgbe ụda opi ike ahụ dasiri ike, ndị agha tiri mkpu, na ụda opi ike ahụ. Mgbe ndị ikom tiri oke mkpu, mgbidi ahụ dara dapịasịa, nke mere na onye ọbụla chere ihu banye nʼime obodo ahụ, lụgbuo obodo ahụ.
21 and they devote all that [is] in the city, from man even unto woman, from young even unto aged, even unto ox, and sheep, and ass, by the mouth of the sword.
Ha debere obodo a iche nye Onyenwe anyị site nʼiji mma agha ha gbuchapụ ihe niile dị ndụ nʼobodo ahụ, ma nwoke, ma nwanyị, ma nwantakịrị, ma okenye, ma ehi, ma atụrụ, ma ịnyịnya ibu, ihe niile dị nʼime ya.
22 And to the two men who are spying the land Joshua said, 'Go into the house of the woman, the harlot, and bring out thence the woman, and all whom she hath, as ye have sworn to her.'
Mgbe ahụ, Joshua gwara ndị ikom abụọ ahụ buru ụzọ gaa nnyochapụta obodo ahụ anya sị ha, “Mezuonụ nkwa unu kwere. Gaanụ nʼụlọ nwanyị akwụna, kpọpụta ya na ndị niile dị nʼụlọ ya.”
23 And the young man, the spies, go in and bring out Rahab, and her father, and her mother, and her brethren, and all whom she hath; yea, all her families they have brought out, and place them at the outside of the camp of Israel.
Ya mere, ụmụ okorobịa abụọ ahụ bụ ndị mere nledo ala ahụ, bara nʼụlọ ahụ, kpọpụta Rehab na nna ya na nne ya na ụmụnne ya na ndị ikwu ya niile. Ha kpọpụtara ndị ezinaụlọ ya niile debe ha nʼotu ebe nke dị nʼazụ ọmụma ụlọ ikwu ụmụ Izrel.
24 And the city they have burnt with fire, and all that [is] in it; only, the silver and the gold, and the vessels of brass, and of iron, they have given [to] the treasury of the house of Jehovah;
Ha kpọrọ obodo ahụ ọkụ, ya na ihe niile dị nʼime ya. Ma ha wepụtara naanị ọlaọcha na ọlaedo, na ihe niile e ji bronz na igwe kpụọ, tinye nʼụlọakụ Onyenwe anyị.
25 and Rahab the harlot, and the house of her father, and all whom she hath, hath Joshua kept alive; and she dwelleth in the midst of Israel unto this day, for she hid the messengers whom Joshua sent to spy out Jericho.
Joshua mere ka Rehab, nwanyị akwụna ahụ, na ndị ezinaụlọ ya niile dịrị ndụ. Nʼihi na Rehab zoro ndị ikom abụọ Joshua zigara, mee ka ha dị ndụ, bụ ndị gara inyochapụta obodo Jeriko. Ya mere, o binyere ndị Izrel ruo taa.
26 And Joshua adjureth [them] at that time, saying, 'Cursed [is] the man before Jehovah who raiseth up and hath built this city, [even] Jericho; in his first-born he doth lay its foundation, and in his youngest he doth set up its doors;'
Mgbe ahụ, Joshua gbara obodo Jeriko iyi sị, “Ọbụbụ ọnụ ka a na-abụ nwoke ọbụla nʼihu Onyenwe anyị nke ga-ebili wuokwa obodo Jeriko ọzọ. “Ndụ ọkpara ya ka ọ ga-eji tọọ ntọala ya niile, ndụ nwa ya nke nta, ka ọ ga-eji guzobe ọnụ ụzọ ama ya niile ọtọ.”
27 and Jehovah is with Joshua, and his fame is in all the land.
Ya mere, Onyenwe anyị nọnyeere Joshua. Akụkọ a kọrọ banyere ya gbasara nke ukwuu nʼala ahụ niile.
