1 Yosua, Nun ƒe vi la dɔ ŋkutsala eve tso Israelviwo ƒe asaɖa la me le Sitim be woatso tɔsisi la, eye woalé ŋku ɖe nuwo ŋu le afi ma le adzame, vevietɔ le Yeriko. Ŋkutsalawo yi ɖadze gbolo aɖe si ŋkɔe nye Rahab la gbɔ. Wodi be yewoanɔ afi ma ŋkeke eve,
Pea naʻe fekau ʻe Siosiua, ko e foha ʻo Nuni, ʻae ongo tangata mei Sitimi, kena fakaʻasiʻasi fakafufū pē, ʻo ne pehē, Mo ō ʻo vakai ʻae fonua, ʻio, ʻa Seliko. Pea naʻa na ō ʻo hoko ki he fale ʻo ha fefine angahala, naʻe hingoa ko Lehapi, pea na mohe ai.
2 ke ame aɖewo yi ɖagblɔ na Yeriko fia be, Israelvi eve, ame siwo ɖi ŋkutsalawo la va ɖo dua me fiẽ ma.
Pea naʻe tala ki he tuʻi ʻo Seliko, ʻo pehē, “Vakai, naʻe omi ʻae ongo tangata ki heni ʻi he poōni mei he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ke matakiʻi ʻae fonua.”
3 Ale fia la dɔ dɔlawo ɖo ɖe Rahab be, “Ɖe asi le amedzroawo ŋu, elabena ŋkutsalawo wonye, eye Israelviwo ƒe kplɔlawoe ɖo wo ɖa be woadi mɔ nyuitɔ si dzi woato aho aʋa ɖe mía ŋu.”
Pea naʻe fekau ʻe he tuʻi ʻo Seliko kia Lehapi, ʻo pehē, “ʻOmi ʻae ongo tangata kuo haʻu kiate koe, ʻaia kuo hū ki ho fale: he kuo na haʻu ke matakiʻi ʻae fonua kotoa pē.”
4 Ke Rahab ɣla amedzroawo, eye wògblɔ be, “Ameawo nya va afi sia do ŋgɔ na mi, gake nyemenya ne ŋkutsalawo wonye o.
Ka naʻe ʻave ʻe he fefine ʻae ongo tangata, ʻo ne fufū ʻakinaua, ʻo ne tala ʻo pehē, “Naʻe omi ʻae ongo tangata kiate au, ka naʻe ʻikai te u ʻilo pe kuo na haʻu mei fē:
5 Wodzo esi xexea me de asi tsyɔtsyɔ me, eye wòsusɔ vie woatu dua ƒe agbowo. Nyemenya afi si woyi o, ne mieɖe abla la, ɖewohĩ miatu wo!”
Pea ʻi he hokosia ʻae songo ʻoe matanikolo ʻi he poʻuli, naʻe ʻalu ʻae ongo tangata kituaʻā: pea ʻoku ʻikai te u ʻiloa pe ne na ō ki fē: mou tuli fakatoʻotoʻo ʻakinaua; he temou maʻu ʻakinaua.
6 Nu si Rahab wɔe nye, ekplɔ ameawo yi xɔta, eye wòɣla wo ɖe ɖetifu si wòsia ɖe afi ma la te.
Ka kuo ʻosi ʻene ʻomi ʻakinaua ki he tuʻafale, ʻo ne fufū ʻakinaua ʻi he ngaahi kau ʻoe falakesi, ʻaia naʻa ne folahi lelei ki he tuʻafale.”
7 Ale dɔlawo di wo yi keke Yɔdan tɔsisi la to. Esi dɔlawo dze mɔ ko la, wotu dua ƒe agbowo.
Pea naʻe tuli ʻakinaua ʻe he kau tangata ʻi he hala ki Sioatani ʻo aʻu atu ki he ngaahi aʻaʻanga: pea ʻi he ʻalu leva kituaʻā ʻakinautolu naʻe tuli ʻakinaua, naʻa nau tāpuni leva ʻae matanikolo.
8 Hafi woamlɔ anyi la, Rahab yi ɖagblɔ na amedzroawo be,
Pea ʻi he teʻeki ke takoto ʻakinaua, naʻa ne ʻalu hake kiate kinaua ʻi he tuʻafale;
9 “Menyae nyuie be Yehowa le míaƒe anyigba tsɔ ge na mi. Mí katã míele mia vɔ̃m. Miaƒe ŋkɔ ‘Israel’ sese ɖeɖe hã dea vɔvɔ̃ lãme na ame sia ame,
Pea pehē ʻe ia ki he ongo tangata, “ʻOku ou ʻilo kuo foaki ʻe Sihova ʻae fonua kiate kimoutolu, pea kuo tō homou lilika kiate kimautolu, pea kuo ilifia ʻae kakai kotoa pē ʻoe fonua koeʻuhi ko kimoutolu.
10 elabena míese ale si Yehowa ɖe mɔ to Ƒu Dzĩ la me na mi esi miedzo le Egipte! Míenya nu si miewɔ Sixɔn kple Ɔg, Amoritɔwo ƒe fia eve siwo le Yɔdan tɔsisi la ƒe ɣedzeƒe lɔƒo kple ale si miegblẽ woƒe anyigba, eye mietsrɔ̃ dukɔ blibo la gbidigbidi.
He kuo mau fanongo ki he fakamōmoa ʻe Sihova ʻae ngaahi vai ʻoe Tahi Kulokula maʻamoutolu, ʻi hoʻomou haʻu mei ʻIsipite; pea mo ia ne mou fai ki he ongo tuʻi ʻoe kau ʻAmoli, ʻaia naʻe ʻi he kauvai ʻe taha ʻo Sioatani, ʻa Sihoni, mo Oki, ʻaia ne mou fakaʻauha ʻaupito.
11 Nu sia ta míele mia vɔ̃m ŋutɔŋutɔ! Nya siawo sese ɖe dzi le mía ƒo, elabena Yehowa, miaƒe Mawue nye Mawu gã le dziƒo, eye menye mawu dzodzro aɖeke o.
Pea ʻi heʻemau ongoʻi leva, naʻe vaivai homau loto, pea naʻe ʻikai ʻaupito kei mālohi ha tangata koeʻuhi ko kimoutolu: he ko Sihova ko homou ʻOtua, ko e ʻOtua ia ʻi ʻolunga ʻi he langi, pea ʻi māmani ʻi lalo.
12 Ke azɔ la, mika atam nam kple Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu la be miave nye ƒometɔwo nu, elabena nye hã menyo dɔ me na mi. Azɔ mina dzesim abe kakaɖedzi ene,
Pea ko eni, ʻoku ou kole kiate kimoua, mo fuakava kiate au ʻia Sihova, ʻi heʻeku fakahā ʻae angaʻofa ni kiate kimoua, pea koeʻuhi ke mo fakahā ʻae angaʻofa ki he fale ʻo ʻeku tamai foki, pea tuku mai kiate au ha fakaʻilonga moʻoni:
13 be miaɖe fofonye kple danye, nɔvinye ŋutsuwo kple nɔvinye nyɔnuwo ƒe agbe kpe ɖe woƒe nunɔamesiwo ŋu, eye be míaɖe mí tso ku me.”
Koeʻuhi ke mou fakamoʻui ʻeku tamai, mo ʻeku faʻē, mo hoku ngaahi tuongaʻane mo hoku ngaahi tehina, mo ia kotoa pē ʻoku nau maʻu, pea fakahaofi ʻemau moʻui mei he mate.”
14 Amedzroawo lɔ̃, eye wodo ŋugbe nɛ be, “Ne màfia mía yomemɔ o la, ekema míakpɔ egbɔ be wò kple wò ƒometɔwo katã mianɔ dedie.
Pea naʻe tala kiate ia ʻe he ongo tangata, “Ko ʻema moʻui, ki hoʻomou moʻui, ʻo kapau ʻe ʻikai te mou fakahā ʻema ngāue ni.” Pea ʻe hoko ʻo pehē, “ʻI he tuku mai ʻe Sihova ʻae fonua kiate kimautolu, te mau fai angaʻofa mo angatonu kiate koe.
15 Míatsɔ míaƒe agbe aʋli mia ta.” Esi Rahab ƒe xɔta kɔ wu dua ƒe gliwo ta la, esa ka legbe aɖe ɖe eƒe fesreti ŋu, eye wòna amedzroawo ɖiɖi to ka la ŋu ɖe anyigba le dua godo.
Pea naʻa ne toki tukutuku hifo ʻakinaua mei he matapā sioʻata ʻaki ʻae afo: he naʻe tuʻu hono fale ʻi he funga ʻā ʻoe kolo, pea naʻe nofo ia ʻi ʻolunga ʻi he ʻā.
16 Rahab gblɔ na ŋkutsalawo be, “Misi yi toawo dzi. Minɔ afi ma ŋkeke etɔ̃ va se ɖe esime ame siwo le mia dim la natrɔ agbɔ, ekema miate ŋu atrɔ adzo azɔ.”
Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinaua, “Mo ō ʻo mole atu ki he moʻunga, telia naʻa mo fetaulaki mo e kau tuli; pea fufū ʻakimoua ʻi ai ʻi he ʻaho ʻe tolu, kaeʻoua ke liu mai ʻae kau tuli: pea hili ia ʻe lelei hoʻomo ō ʻi homo hala.”
17 Ŋutsuawo gblɔ nɛ be, “Atam si nèna míeka fifia la, mabla mí o,
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he ongo tangata kiate ia, “ʻOku ma [fie ]taʻehalaia ʻi hoʻo fuakava ni, ʻaia kuo ke fakafuakava ai mo kimaua.
18 negbe ne míege ɖe anyigba la dzi, eye nètsɔ avɔ dzĩ tsi ɖe fesre si nètsɔ mí toe la nu, eye ne mèkplɔ fofowò kple dawò, nɔviwò ŋutsuwo kple wò ƒometɔwo katã va wò aƒe me o la, míedze agɔ o.
Vakai, ʻoka mau ka hoko ki he fonua, te ke nonoʻo ʻae potu afo kulokula ni ʻi ʻolunga ʻi he matapā, ʻaia naʻa ke tukutuku hifo ai ʻakimaua: pea ke ʻomi hoʻo tamai mo hoʻo faʻē, mo ho ngaahi tuongaʻane, mo e kāinga kotoa pē ʻoe fale ʻo hoʻo tamai, ki ʻapi kiate koe.
19 Ne ame aɖe do go le wò aƒe me yi mɔtata dzi la, eƒe ʋu anɔ eya ŋutɔ ƒe ta dzi, menye míawoe wɔe o. Ke hena ame siwo anɔ wò aƒe me la, amea ƒe ʋu ava míaƒe ta dzi ne míeka asi eŋuti.
Pea ʻe pehē, ʻilonga ʻaia ʻe hū kituʻa ʻi he matapā ʻo ho fale ki he hala, ʻe ʻi hono ʻulu pē ʻa hono toto, pea ʻe taʻehala ʻakimaua: pea ʻilonga ʻaia ʻe ʻiate koe ʻi he fale, ʻe ʻi homa ʻulu hono toto, ʻo kapau ʻe ala ʻe ha nima kiate ia.”
20 Ke ne ègblɔ nu si wɔm míele la na ame aɖe la, atam si nèna míeka la, mabla mí o.”
Pea kapau te ke fakahā ʻema ngāue ni, te ma toki ʻataʻatā ai mei he fuakava ʻaia kuo ke fefuakava ai mo kimaua.”
21 Rahab gblɔ na wo bena, “Melɔ̃ ɖe miaƒe ɖoɖo siawo dzi abe ale si miegblɔe ene.” Ale wòɖe asi le wo ŋu woyi. Ke etsi ka dzĩ la ɖe fesreti la ŋu.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “Hangē ko hoʻomo ngaahi lea, ke pehē pe ia.” Pea naʻa ne fekau ʻakinaua kena ō, pea na ō: pea ne noʻotaki ʻae afo kulokula ʻi he matapā.
22 Ŋkutsalawo yi toawo dzi, eye wonɔ afi ma ŋkeke etɔ̃ va se ɖe esime ame siwo nɔ wo yome tim la di wo le afi sia afi le mɔa dzi do kpoe, eye wotrɔ gbɔ va dua me.
Pea naʻa na ō, pea hoko ki he moʻunga, ʻo na nofo ai ʻi he ʻaho ʻe tolu, kaeʻoua liu mai ʻae kau tuli: pea naʻe kumi ʻakinaua ʻe he kau tuli ʻi he potu kotoa pē ʻoe hala, ka naʻe ʻikai tenau ʻilo ʻakinaua.
23 Ŋkutsala eveawo ɖi tso toawo dzi, eye wotso tɔsisi la. Wogblɔ nya sia nya si dzɔ la na Yosua, Nun ƒe vi.
Ko ia naʻe liu mai ʻae ongo tangata ʻo ʻalu hifo mei he moʻunga, ʻo na ō ki he kauvai ʻe taha, ʻo hoko kia Siosiua ko e foha ʻo Nuni, ʻo fakahā kiate ia ʻaia kotoa pē kuo hoko kiate kinaua:
24 Wogblɔ be, “Kakaɖedzi blibo li bena, Yehowa atsɔ anyigba la katã ana mí, elabena afi ma tɔwo katã le mía vɔ̃m ŋutɔŋutɔ.”
Pea naʻa na pehē kia Siosiua, “Ko e moʻoni kuo tukuange ʻe Sihova ʻae fonua kotoa pē ki hotau nima; he ʻoku vaivai ʻae kakai kotoa pē ʻoe fonua koeʻuhi ko kitautolu.”
