Rĩu-rĩ, itũũra rĩu rĩa Jeriko rĩahingĩtwo biũ nĩ ũndũ wa andũ a Isiraeli. Gũtirĩ mũndũ woimaga nja kana agatoonya kuo.
2 Yehowa gblɔ na Yosua be, “Mieɖu Yerikotɔwo kple woƒe fia kple woƒe aʋawɔla sesẽwo katã dzi xoxo, elabena metsɔ wo de asi na mi!
Nake Jehova akĩĩra Joshua atĩrĩ, “Nĩneanĩte itũũra rĩĩrĩ rĩa Jeriko moko-inĩ maku, o hamwe na mũthamaki wakuo, o na njamba cia hinya ciakuo.
3 Nu si miawɔe nye, wò kple wò aʋawɔlawo katã miazɔ aƒo xlã Yeriko du la zi ɖeka gbe sia gbe hena ŋkeke ade.
Thiũrũrũkai itũũra rĩu inene hamwe na andũ anyu othe a ita riita rĩmwe. Mwĩke ũguo mĩthenya ĩtandatũ.
4 Na nunɔla adre ɖe sia ɖe natsɔ lãdzokpẽwo ɖe asi, eye woadze ŋgɔ na nubablaɖaka la. Le ŋkeke adrelia gbe la, wò kple wò aʋawɔlawo katã miazɔ aƒo xlã du la zi adre le esime nunɔlaawo anɔ kpẽawo kum.
Na athĩnjĩri-Ngai mũgwanja matongorie ithandũkũ rĩa kĩrĩkanĩro, makuuĩte macoro mũgwanja mathondeketwo na hĩa cia ndũrũme. Mũthenya wa mũgwanja-rĩ, mũgaathiũrũrũka itũũra rĩu maita mũgwanja, nao athĩnjĩri-Ngai mathiĩ makĩhuhaga macoro.
5 Ne nunɔlaawo ku kpẽawo zi ɖeka sesĩe ɣeyiɣi didi aɖe la, ameawo katã nado ɣli sesĩe. Dua ƒe gliwo amu adze anyi ekema miato teƒe sia teƒe age ɖe dua me.”
Rĩrĩa mũkaigua mahuha macoro na mũgambo mũnene, ĩra andũ othe makaanĩrĩra na rĩanĩrĩra inene mũno; naruo rũthingo rwa itũũra rĩu nĩrũkamomoka, nao andũ othe matoonye itũũra rĩu, o mũndũ athiĩte na mbere na kũrĩa arorete.”
6 Yosua, Nun ƒe vi, yɔ nunɔlaawo hegblɔ na wo be, “Mikɔ nubablaɖaka la; mia dometɔ adre nakɔ woƒe kpẽwo, eye miadze Yehowa ƒe nubablaɖaka la ŋgɔ.”
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, Joshua mũrũ wa Nuni agĩĩta athĩnjĩri-Ngai, akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Oyai ithandũkũ rĩa kĩrĩkanĩro kĩa Jehova, na mũreke athĩnjĩri-Ngai mũgwanja thĩinĩ wanyu makuue macoro mũgwanja ma hĩa cia ndũrũme, matongorie ithandũkũ rĩu.”
7 Ale wòɖe gbe na ameawo be, “Mizɔ yi ŋgɔ! Mizɔ ƒo xlã du la. Ame siwo lé aʋawɔnuwo ɖe asi la nedze ŋgɔ na Yehowa ƒe nubablaɖaka la.”
Nake agĩatha andũ akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Thiĩi mbere! Mũthiĩ mũthiũrũrũkĩirie itũũra, andũ arĩa meeohete indo cia mbaara matongorie ithandũkũ rĩa kĩrĩkanĩro kĩa Jehova.”
8 Esi Yosua ƒo nu na ameawo vɔ la, nunɔla adre siwo lé kpẽ adre ɖe asi le Yehowa ŋkume la zɔ ɖe ŋgɔgbe henɔ woƒe kpẽawo kum, eye Yehowa ƒe nubablaɖaka la kplɔ wo ɖo.
Rĩrĩa Joshua aarĩkirie kwarĩria andũ, na athĩnjĩri-Ngai acio mũgwanja maakuuĩte macoro marĩa mũgwanja ma hĩa cia ndũrũme magĩthiĩ marĩ mbere ya Jehova, makĩhuhaga macoro mao, narĩo ithandũkũ rĩa kĩrĩkanĩro kĩa Jehova rĩkĩmarũmĩrĩra.
9 Ame siwo lé aʋawɔnuwo ɖe asi la dze ŋgɔ na nunɔla siwo nɔ kpeawo kum, eye ame mamlɛawo dze nubablaɖaka la yome. Kpẽawo nɔ ɖiɖim esi wonɔ nu siawo katã wɔm.
Nacio thigari iria ciarĩ na indo cia mbaara igĩthiĩ itongoretie athĩnjĩri-Ngai acio maahuhaga macoro, nacio thigari ingĩ ikĩrũmĩrĩra ithandũkũ rĩa kĩrĩkanĩro kuuma na thuutha. Hĩndĩ ĩyo yothe macoro no maahuhagwo.
10 Yosua ɖe gbe na ameawo be, “Migado aʋaɣli o, migakɔ miaƒe gbewo dzi o, eye migagblɔ nya aɖeke o va se ɖe gbe si gbe magblɔ na mi be mido ɣli, ekema miado ɣli!”
No rĩrĩ, Joshua nĩathĩte andũ akameera atĩrĩ, “Mũtikananĩrĩre na mũgambo wa mbaara, o na kana mũreke mĩgambo yanyu ĩiguo, o na mũtikoige ũndũ o na ũrĩkũ nginya mũthenya ũrĩa ngamwĩĩra mwanĩrĩre. Hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩguo mũkaanĩrĩra!”
11 Ale wòna wokɔ Yehowa ƒe aɖaka la ƒo xlã du la zi ɖeka. Tete ameawo gbugbɔ yi asaɖa la me, eye wotsi afi ma dɔ.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio akiuga ithandũkũ rĩu rĩa kĩrĩkanĩro kĩa Jehova rĩkuuo, rĩthiũrũrũkio itũũra-inĩ rĩu inene, riita rĩmwe. Andũ magĩcooka kambĩ na makĩraara kuo ũtukũ ũcio.
12 Yosua fɔ ŋdi kanya, nunɔlaawo kɔ nubablaɖaka la,
Rũciinĩ rũrũ rũngĩ, Joshua agĩũkĩra tene, nao athĩnjĩri-Ngai makĩoya ithandũkũ rĩu rĩa kĩrĩkanĩro kĩa Jehova.
13 eye nunɔla adre siwo si kpẽawo le la, dze ŋgɔ na Yehowa ƒe nubablaɖaka la, eye wonɔ kpẽawo kum. Aʋawɔla aɖewo dze ŋgɔ na nunɔlaawo, eye mamlɛawo kplɔ nubablaɖaka la ɖo, le esime kpẽawo ganɔ ɖiɖim ko.
Nao athĩnjĩri-Ngai arĩa mũgwanja makuuĩte macoro mũgwanja ma hĩa cia ndũrũme magĩthiĩ na mbere, makinyũkĩtie matongoretie ithandũkũ rĩa kĩrĩkanĩro kĩa Jehova o makĩhuhaga macoro. Thigari iria ciarĩ na indo cia mbaara ikĩmatongoria, nacio thigari ingĩ ikĩrũmĩrĩra ithandũkũ rĩa kĩrĩkanĩro kĩa Jehova kuuma na thuutha, o macoro makĩgambaga.
14 Ale wozɔ ƒo xlã du la zi ɖeka le ŋkeke evelia gbe, eye wogatrɔ yi asaɖa la me. Wowɔ alea ŋkeke ade.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũthenya wa keerĩ magĩthiũrũrũka itũũra rĩu inene riita rĩmwe, magĩcooka kambĩ. Meekire ũguo mĩthenya ĩtandatũ.
15 Le ŋkeke adrelia ƒe fɔŋli la, wogadze mɔ, ke azɔ ya la, womegaƒo xlã du la zi ɖeka ko o, ke boŋ woƒo xlãe zi adre.
Mũthenya wa mũgwanja-rĩ, magĩũkĩra ruoro rũgĩtema na magĩthiũrũrũka itũũra rĩu maita mũgwanja o ta ũrĩa meekaga mĩthenya ĩyo ĩngĩ, tiga atĩ mũthenya ũcio, maathiũrũrũkire itũũra rĩu inene maita mũgwanja.
16 Esi woƒo xlã du la zi adrelia la, nunɔlaawo ku kpẽawo sesĩe ɣeyiɣi didi aɖe. Yosua ɖe gbe na ameawo be, “Ɣli neɖi! Yehowa tsɔ du sia na mí!”
Nao makĩrĩthiũrũrũka riita rĩa mũgwanja-rĩ, rĩrĩa athĩnjĩri-Ngai maahuhire macoro, Joshua akĩĩra andũ atĩrĩ, “Anĩrĩrai mũno! Nĩgũkorwo Jehova nĩamũheete itũũra rĩĩrĩ!
17 Yosua gblɔ na ameawo do ŋgɔ be, “Miwu ame sia ame negbe Rahab, gbolo la kple ame sia ame si anɔ eƒe aƒe me la ko, elabena exɔ na míaƒe ŋkutsalawo.
Itũũra rĩĩrĩ inene na kĩndũ kĩrĩa gĩothe kĩrĩ thĩinĩ warĩo nĩikwamũrĩrwo Jehova, cianangwo. No Rahabu ũrĩa mũmaraya wiki, na andũ arĩa othe marĩ hamwe nake thĩinĩ wa nyũmba yake, mekũhonokio, tondũ nĩahithire athigaani arĩa twatũmĩte.
18 Migaha naneke o, elabena ele be miatsrɔ̃ nu sia nu gbidigbidi. Ne miewɔ alea o la, dzɔgbevɔ̃e ava Israel dukɔ blibo la dzi.
Na rĩrĩ, mwĩmenyererei mũtikahutie indo icio ciamũrĩtwo cia kũniinwo, nĩgeetha mũtikerehere mwanangĩko nĩ ũndũ wa kuoya kĩndũ o na kĩrĩkũ gĩacio. Mũngĩcihutia nĩmũgatũma kambĩ ya Isiraeli ĩtuĩke ya kũniinwo, na mũmĩrehere thĩĩna.
19 Ke woƒe klosalo kple sika katã kple nu siwo wowɔ kple akɔbli kple gayibɔ la, woakɔ wo ŋu na Yehowa, eya ta mitsɔ wo va de Yehowa ƒe nudzraɖoƒe la me.”
Betha yothe na thahabu, na indo cia gĩcango na kĩgera, nĩ nyamũrĩre Jehova na no nginya ciigwo kĩgĩĩna-inĩ gĩake.”
20 Esi ameawo se kpẽawo ƒe ɖiɖi sesĩe la, wodo ɣli sesĩe abe ale si woate ŋui ene. Tete Yeriko ƒe gliwo mu dze anyi, eye wokaka le wo ŋkume. Israelviwo ge ɖe du la me bibibi to afi sia afi, eye woxɔ du la.
Rĩrĩa coro wahuhirwo, andũ makĩanĩrĩra, na rĩrĩa andũ maaiguire mũgambo wa coro, makĩanĩrĩra rĩanĩrĩra inene, naruo rũthingo rũkĩmomoka; nĩ ũndũ ũcio o mũndũ o mũndũ agĩtoonya itũũra rĩu, na makĩrĩtunyana.
21 Wotsrɔ̃ nu sia nu le dua me, ŋutsuwo kple nyɔnuwo, ɖeviwo kple ame tsitsiwo, nyiwo, alẽwo kple tedziwo. Wotsrɔ̃ nu sia nu keŋkeŋkeŋ.
Nao makĩamũrĩra Jehova itũũra rĩu, na makĩananga kĩndũ o gĩothe kĩrĩa kĩarĩ muoyo kuo na rũhiũ rwa njora, arũme na andũ-a-nja, andũ ethĩ na akũrũ, na ngʼombe, na ngʼondu, na ndigiri.
22 Yosua gblɔ na ŋkutsala eveawo be, “Miwɔ miaƒe ŋugbedodo dzi. Miyi miaxɔ Rahab, gbolo la kple ame siwo katã le eƒe aƒe me la ɖe agbe.”
Joshua akĩĩra andũ arĩa eerĩ maathiĩte gũthigaana bũrũri ũcio atĩrĩ, “Thiĩi mũtoonye nyũmba ya mũtumia ũrĩa mũmaraya, mũmuumie nja hamwe na andũ ao othe, o ta ũrĩa mwamwĩrire na mwĩhĩtwa.”
23 Ŋkutsalawo yi ɖatu Rahab, eye woxɔe ɖe agbe kpe ɖe fofoa, dadaa, nɔviawo kple ame siwo katã nɔ egbɔ la ŋu. Wona ame siawo nɔ Israelviwo ƒe asaɖa la godo.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio aanake acio maarĩ athigaani magĩtoonya na makiumia Rahabu na nja, hamwe na ithe na nyina, na ariũ a nyina na andũ ao othe. Magĩkiumia andũ a nyũmba yake othe, makĩmaiga handũ kũu nja ya kambĩ ya Isiraeli.
24 Wotɔ dzo du la kple nu siwo katã le eme la negbe klosalo kple sika kple nu siwo wowɔ kple akɔbli kple gayibɔ ko wolɔ yi ɖada ɖe Yehowa ƒe nudzraɖoƒe.
Magĩcooka magĩcina itũũra rĩu inene rĩothe, na kĩrĩa gĩothe kĩarĩ thĩinĩ warĩo, no betha na thahabu, na indo cia gĩcango na cia kĩgera, magĩciiga kĩgĩĩna-inĩ kĩa nyũmba ya Jehova.
25 Ale Yosua na Rahab, gbolo la kple eƒe ƒometɔ siwo nɔ egbɔ le eƒe aƒe me la tsi agbe, eye wotsi Israelviwo dome va se ɖe egbe, elabena Rahab ɣla ŋkutsala eve siwo Yosua ɖo ɖe Yeriko.
No rĩrĩ, Joshua nĩahonokirie Rahabu ũrĩa mũmaraya, hamwe na andũ a nyũmba yake na andũ ao othe, tondũ nĩahithire andũ arĩa Joshua aatũmĩte magathigaane Jeriko nake atũũranagia na andũ a Isiraeli nginya ũmũthĩ.
26 Ɣe ma ɣi la, Yosua ka atam vevi sia be, “Ame si agbugbɔ Yeriko du sia atso la, fiƒode sia ava edzi le Yehowa ŋkume. Atsɔ Via ŋutsu ŋgɔgbetɔ aɖo eƒe gɔmeɖokpewoe, eye wòatsɔ via ɖevitɔ ƒe agbe atsɔ ade agbowo du la nu.”
Ihinda o ro rĩu, Joshua akĩĩhĩtithia andũ acio na mwĩhĩtwa, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Kũgwatwo nĩ kĩrumi maitho-inĩ ma Jehova-rĩ, nĩ mũndũ ũrĩa ũkaageria gwaka itũũra rĩĩrĩ inene rĩa Jeriko rĩngĩ: “Mũndũ ũrĩa ũgaaka mĩthingi ya itũũra rĩĩrĩ, nĩagakuĩrwo nĩ mũriũ wake wa irigithathi; na akĩrũgamia ihingo cia itũũra rĩĩrĩ, akuĩrwo nĩ mũriũ wake wa kĩhinga-nda.”
27 Ale Yehowa nɔ kple Yosua, eye eƒe ŋkɔxɔxɔ kaka ɖe anyigba blibo la dzi.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Jehova agĩkorwo arĩ hamwe na Joshua, nayo ngumo yake ĩkĩhunja kũndũ guothe bũrũri ũcio.
