1 Nake Joshua mũrũ wa Nuni agĩtũma athigaani eerĩ kuuma Shitimu na hitho; akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Thiĩi mũbaare bũrũri ũcio, na makĩria Jeriko.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio magĩthiĩ, magĩtoonya nyũmba ya mũmaraya wetagwo Rahabu, magĩikara kuo.
Afei, Yosua somaa akwansrafoɔ baanu wɔ kɔkoam firii Israelfoɔ atenaeɛ a ɛwɔ Sitim. Ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Monkɔsra asase a ɛda Yordan agya no, ne titire ne deɛ atwa Yeriko ho ahyia no.” Enti, mmarima baanu no sii mu kɔduruu odwamanfoɔ bi a ne din de Rahab fie na wɔtenaa hɔ anadwo no.
2 Nake mũthamaki wa Jeriko akĩĩrwo atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kũrĩ andũ amwe a Isiraeli mokire gũkũ ũtukũ ũyũ gũthigaana bũrũri ũyũ ũrĩa ũhaana.”
Obi kɔka kyerɛɛ Yerikohene sɛ, “Anadwo yi ara, Israelfoɔ no bi aba ha a wɔrebɛsra asase yi.”
3 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũthamaki wa Jeriko agĩtũmana kũrĩ Rahabu, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Andũ acio mokire gwaku nyũmba marutũrũre na nja, tondũ mokĩte gũthigaana bũrũri ũyũ wothe.”
Enti Yerikohene soma kɔɔ Rahab nkyɛn kɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Fa mmarima a wɔabɛsoɛ wo no ma yɛn. Wɔyɛ akwansrafoɔ a wɔrebɛsra yɛn asase yi ahwehwɛ ɛkwan a wɔbɛfa so ato ahyɛ yɛn so.”
4 No rĩrĩ, mũndũ-wa-nja ũcio nĩarĩkĩtie kuoya andũ acio eerĩ na akamahitha. Nake akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ĩĩ nĩguo, andũ acio nĩmegũkĩte gwakwa, no ndinamenya kũrĩa mekuumĩte.
Rahab a na ɔde mmarima baanu no asie no buaa sɛ, “Mmarima no baa me ha deɛ, nanso mennim baabi a wɔfiri baeɛ.
5 Hwaĩ-inĩ rĩrĩa kĩhingo gĩa itũũra inene kĩhingagwo-rĩ, andũ acio nĩmathiire. Ndinamenya na kũrĩa mathiire. Marũmĩrĩrei na ihenya. Mwahota kũmakinyĩra.”
Adeɛ reyɛ asa a wɔrebɛtoto kuropɔn no apono mu no na wɔkɔeɛ, nso manhunu baabi a wɔfaeɛ. Sɛ moyɛ ntɛm ti wɔn a, ebia, mobɛto wɔn.”
6 (No rĩrĩ, nĩamatwarĩte nyũmba igũrũ, na akamahitha rungu rwa ũguta ũrĩa aarĩte kũu nyũmba igũrũ).
(Nanso, na ɔde wɔn akɔhyɛ ɛdan atifi, akɔhinta ɔkyɛnkyɛn a waboa ano akuakuo ase.)
7 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio andũ acio maatũmĩtwo nĩ mũthamaki makiumagara, makĩmarũmĩrĩra na njĩra ĩrĩa ĩthiiaga mariũko-inĩ ma Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani, na rĩrĩa andũ acio mamarũmĩrĩire moimire na nja o ũguo-rĩ, kĩhingo gĩkĩhingwo.
Enti, ɔhene asomafoɔ no sii mu sɛ wɔrekɔhwehwɛ akwansrafoɔ no wɔ ɛkwan a ɛkɔ Asubɔnten Yordan atwareeɛ hɔ. Asomafoɔ no firii hɔ ara pɛ na wɔtotoo kuropɔn no apono mu.
8 Athigaani acio eerĩ matanakoma, mũndũ-wa-nja ũcio akĩambata kũu nyũmba igũrũ,
Ansa na akwansrafoɔ no rebɛda anadwo no, Rahab kɔɔ ɛdan no atifi ne wɔn kɔkasaeɛ sɛ,
9 na akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Nĩnjũũĩ atĩ Jehova nĩamũheete bũrũri ũyũ, na atĩ nĩtũnyiitĩtwo nĩ guoya mũnene nĩ ũndũ wanyu, o nginya ithuothe andũ arĩa tũtũũraga bũrũri ũyũ tũkaiyũrwo nĩ maaĩ nda nĩ ũndũ wanyu.

14 Nao andũ acio makĩmũmĩrĩria, makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ithuĩ tũrokua tũngĩkaaga kũhonokia mĩoyo yanyu! Waga kuuga ũrĩa tũreeka, nĩtũkaamwĩka maũndũ ma ũtugi na ma kĩhooto rĩrĩa Jehova agaatũhe bũrũri ũyũ.”
Mmarima no penee so kaa sɛ, “Yɛde yɛn nkwa si yɛn bɔhyɛ so. Sɛ woanyi yɛn amma na sɛ Awurade de asase no ma yɛn a, yɛbɛdi yɛn bɔhyɛ so.”
15 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio akĩmaikũrũkia na mũkanda, akĩmoimĩria ndirica tondũ nyũmba ĩrĩa aikaraga yaakĩtwo rũthingo-inĩ rwa itũũra rĩu inene.
Esiane sɛ wɔsii Rahab fie sii kuro no ɔfasuo so enti, ɔde ahoma sianee wɔn faa mpomma mu ma wɔsii fam.
16 Na rĩrĩ, nĩameerĩte atĩrĩ, “Thiĩi kũrĩa irĩma-inĩ nĩgeetha andũ acio mamũrũmĩrĩire matikamuone. Mwĩhithei kũu mĩthenya ĩtatũ o nginya makorwo macookete, mũcooke mwĩthiĩre.”
