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; )
Wɔtotoo Yeriko apon mu papee, efisɛ na wosuro Israelfo no. Wɔamma obiara kwan ma wankɔ mu anaa wamfi adi.
2 And Jehovah saith unto Joshua, 'See, I have given into thy hand Jericho and its king — mighty ones of valour,
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Yosua se, “Mede Yeriko, ɛhɔ hene ne ɛhɔ akofo nyinaa ahyɛ wo nsa.
3 and ye have compassed the city — all the men of battle — going round the city once; thus thou dost six days;
Ma wo nsraadɔm no nyinaa mmɔ nsra ntwa kuropɔn no ho nhyia pɛnkoro da biara nnansia.
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,
Asɔfo baason a wokurakura adwennini mmɛn abɛn bedi Adaka no anim. Da a ɛto so ason no, ɛsɛ sɛ mobɔ nsra twa kuropɔn no ho mpɛn ason, a asɔfo no rehyɛn mmɛn no.
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.'
Sɛ mote sɛ asɔfo no hyɛn mmɛn no denneennen ma ɛkyɛ a, nnipa no nyinaa mmɔ nnye so. Afei kuropɔn no afasu nyinaa bedwiriw agu fam, na nnipa no betumi atow ahyɛ kuropɔn no so.”
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;'
Na Yosua frɛɛ asɔfo no ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Momfa Apam Adaka no na mo mu baason nni anim a wokurakura mmɛn.”
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.'
Enti, ɔhyɛɛ nnipa no se, “Mommɔ nsra mfa kuropɔn no ho na wɔn a wokurakura akode no bedi Awurade adaka no anim.”
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;
Yosua kasa kyerɛɛ nnipa no wiei no, asɔfo baason a wokurakura mmɛn no fii ase bɔɔ nsra wɔ Awurade anim a wɔrehyɛn mmɛn no. Na asɔfo a wɔso Awurade Apam Adaka no dii wɔn akyi.
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;
Wɔn a wokurakura akode no bi bɔɔ nsra wɔ asɔfo no a wɔrehyɛn mmɛn no anim, na bi nso bɔɔ nsra wɔ asɔfo a wɔso Adaka no akyi, bere a asɔfo no gu so rehyɛn mmɛn no.
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.'
Yosua hyɛe se, “Monnteɛ mu na monnkasa mpo. Mommma asɛm biara mfi mo anum, kosi sɛ mɛka akyerɛ mo se monteɛ mu na moateɛ mu.”
11 And the ark of Jehovah doth compass the city, going round once, and they come into the camp, and lodge in the camp.
Enti, da no, wɔsoaa Awurade Adaka no twaa kuropɔn no ho pɛnkoro. Na afei obiara san kɔɔ atenae hɔ kɔhomee anadwo no.
12 And Joshua riseth early in the morning, and the priests bear the ark of Jehovah,
Ade kyee no Yosua sɔree anɔpahema, na asɔfo no soaa Awurade Adaka no bio.
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.
Asɔfo baason a wokurakura adwennimmɛn mmɛn no bɔɔ nsra wɔ Awurade Adaka no anim, a wɔrehyɛn wɔn mmɛn. Wɔn a wokurakura akode no bi nso bɔɔ nsra wɔ asɔfo a wokurakura mmɛn no anim ne Awurade Adaka no akyi. Saa bere no nyinaa na asɔfo no rehyɛn wɔn mmɛn no.
14 And they compass the city on the second day once, and turn back to the camp; thus they have done six days.
Da a ɛto so abien no, wɔbɔɔ nsra twaa kuropɔn no ho pɛnkoro, na wɔsan kɔɔ atenae hɔ. Wɔkɔɔ so yɛɛ saa ara nnansia.
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);
Da a ɛto so ason no, Israelfo no sɔree anɔpahema, bɔɔ nsra twaa kuropɔn no ho hyiae, sɛnea wɔayɛ dedaw no. Nanso, saa bere yi de, wɔbɔɔ nsra twaa kuropɔn no ho mpɛn ason.
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;
Ne mpɛn ason so no, bere a asɔfo no hyɛn wɔn mmɛn denneennen ma ɛkyɛe no, Yosua hyɛɛ ɔmanfo no se, “Monteɛteɛ mu! Na Awurade de kuropɔn no ama mo!
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;
Kuropɔn no ne emu nneɛma no, ɛsɛ sɛ mosɛe ne nyinaa sɛ afɔrebɔde ma Awurade. Oguamanfo Rahab ne ne fifo nko na ɛsɛ sɛ wogyaw wɔn, efisɛ ɔbɔɔ akwansrafo no ho ban.
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;
Mommmfa nneɛma a ɛsɛ sɛ wɔsɛe no no mu biara, sɛ mofa a, mo ankasa na wɔbɛsɛe mo korakora na mode ɔhaw bɛbrɛ Israel nyinaa.
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.'
Biribiara a wɔde dwetɛ, sikakɔkɔɔ, kɔbere mfrafrae anaa dade ayɛ no yɛ kronkron ma Awurade, enti ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde ba nʼadekorabea hɔ.”
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;
Bere a nnipa no tee mmɛn no nnyigyei no, wɔteɛteɛɛ mu denneennen sɛnea wobetumi. Prɛko pɛ Yeriko afasu no dwiriw guu fam maa Israelfo no fi afanan nyinaa tow hyɛɛ kuropɔn no so na wɔfae.
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.
Wɔsɛee biribiara a ɛwɔ kuropɔn no mu pasaa, mmarima ne mmea, mmofra ne mpanyin, anantwi, nguan, mfurum ne biribiara.
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.'
Afei, Yosua ka kyerɛɛ akwansrafo baanu no se, “Munni mo bɔhyɛ no so. Monkɔ oguamanfo no fi na monkɔfa no ne nʼabusuafo nyinaa mmra.”
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.
Mmerante no kɔfaa Rahab, nʼagya, ne na, ne nuabarimanom ne abusuafo a na wɔwɔ ne nkyɛn no nyinaa bae. Wɔde abusuafo no nyinaa kosiee baabi a ɔhaw biara nni hɔ na ɛbɛn Israelfo atenae.
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;
Afei, Israelfo no hyew kuropɔn no ne emu nneɛma nyinaa. Nneɛma a wɔanhyew no yɛ nea wɔde dwetɛ, sikakɔkɔɔ, kɔbere mfrafrae anaa dade ayɛ. Wɔde ne nyinaa kosiee Awurade fi adekoradan mu.
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.
Enti, Yosua amfa ne nsa anka oguamanfo Rahab ne nʼabusuafo a na wɔka ne ho wɔ fie no, efisɛ ɔde akwansrafo a Yosua somaa wɔn Yeriko no siei. Enti ɔte Israelfo mu besi nnɛ.
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;'
Saa bere no, Yosua kaa saa nnome nsɛm yi: “Awurade nnome mmra obiara a ɔyɛ nʼadwene sɛ ɔbɛkyekyere Yeriko kuropɔn no bio. “Ɔde nʼabakan na ebefi ase, na ɔde nʼakumaa na ebesisi ano apon.”
27 and Jehovah is with Joshua, and his fame is in all the land.
Na Awurade kaa Yosua ho na ne din hyetaa asase no so nyinaa.
