Joshua 6
1 Rĩu-rĩ, itũũra rĩu rĩa Jeriko rĩahingĩtwo biũ nĩ ũndũ wa andũ a Isiraeli. Gũtirĩ mũndũ woimaga nja kana agatoonya kuo.
Now Jericho was close shut up and fenced, for fear of the children of Israel, and no man durst go out or come in.
2 Nake Jehova akĩĩra Joshua atĩrĩ, “Nĩneanĩte itũũra rĩĩrĩ rĩa Jeriko moko-inĩ maku, o hamwe na mũthamaki wakuo, o na njamba cia hinya ciakuo.
And the Lord said to Josue: Behold I have given into thy hands Jericho, and the king thereof, and all the valiant men.
3 Thiũrũrũkai itũũra rĩu inene hamwe na andũ anyu othe a ita riita rĩmwe. Mwĩke ũguo mĩthenya ĩtandatũ.
Go round about the city, all ye fighting men, once a day: so shall ye do for six days.
4 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.
And on the seventh day the priests shall take the seven trumpets, which are used in the jubilee, and shall go before the ark of the covenant: and you shall go about the city seven times, and the priests shall sound the trumpets.
5 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.”
And when the voice of the trumpet shall give a longer and broken tune, and shall sound in your ears, all the people shall shout together with a very great shout, and the walls of the city shall fall to the ground, and they shall enter in every one at the place against which they shall stand.
6 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.”
Then Josue the son of Nun called the priests, and said to them: Take the ark of the covenant: and let seven other priests take the seven trumpets of the jubilee, and march before the ark of the Lord.
7 Nake agĩatha andũ akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Thiĩi mbere! Mũthiĩ mũthiũrũrũkĩirie itũũra, andũ arĩa meeohete indo cia mbaara matongorie ithandũkũ rĩa kĩrĩkanĩro kĩa Jehova.”
And he said to the people: Go, and compass the city, armed, marching before the ark of the Lord.
8 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.
And when Josue had ended his words, and the seven priests blew the seven trumpets before the ark of the covenant of the Lord,
9 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.
And all the armed men went before, the rest of the common people followed the ark, and the sound of the trumpets was heard on all sides.
10 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!”
But Josue had commanded the people, saying: You shall not shout, nor shall your voice be heard, nor any word go out of your mouth: until the day come wherein I shall say to you: Cry, and shout.
11 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.
So the ark of the Lord went about the city once a day, and returning into the camp, abode there.
12 Rũciinĩ rũrũ rũngĩ, Joshua agĩũkĩra tene, nao athĩnjĩri-Ngai makĩoya ithandũkũ rĩu rĩa kĩrĩkanĩro kĩa Jehova.
And Josue rising before day, the priests took the ark of the Lord,
13 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.
And seven of them seven trumpets, which are used in the jubilee: and they went before the ark of the Lord walking and sounding the trumpets: and the armed men went before them, and the rest of the common people followed the ark, and they blew the trumpets.
14 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũthenya wa keerĩ magĩthiũrũrũka itũũra rĩu inene riita rĩmwe, magĩcooka kambĩ. Meekire ũguo mĩthenya ĩtandatũ.
And they went round about the city the second day once, and returned into the camp. So they did six days.
15 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.
But the seventh day, rising up early, they went about the city, as it was ordered, seven times.
16 Nao makĩrĩthiũrũrũka riita rĩa mũgwanja-rĩ, rĩrĩa athĩnjĩri-Ngai maahuhire macoro, Joshua akĩĩra andũ atĩrĩ, “Anĩrĩrai mũno! Nĩgũkorwo Jehova nĩamũheete itũũra rĩĩrĩ!
And when in the seventh going about the priests sounded with the trumpets, Josue said to all Israel: Shout: for the Lord hath delivered the city to you:
17 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.
And let this city be an anathema, and all things that are in it, to the Lord. Let only Rahab the harlot live, with all that are with her in the house: for she hid the messengers whom we sent.
18 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.
But beware ye lest you touch ought of those things that are forbidden, and you be guilty of transgression, and all the camp of Israel be under sin, and be troubled.
19 Betha yothe na thahabu, na indo cia gĩcango na kĩgera, nĩ nyamũrĩre Jehova na no nginya ciigwo kĩgĩĩna-inĩ gĩake.”
But whatsoever gold or silver there shall be, or vessels of brass and iron, let it be consecrated to the Lord, laid up in his treasures.
20 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.
So all the people making a shout, and the trumpets sounding, when the voice and the sound thundered in the ears of the multitude, the walls forthwith fell down: and every man went up by the place that was over against him: and they took the city,
21 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.
And killed all that were in it, man and woman, young and old. The oxen also and the sheep, and the asses, they slew with the edge of the sword.
22 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.”
But Josue said to the two men that had been sent for spies: Go into the harlot’s house, and bring her out, and all things that are hers, as you assured her by oath.
23 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.
And the young men went in and brought out Rahab, and her parents, her brethren also and all her goods and her kindred, and made them to stay without the camp.
24 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.
But they burned the city, and all things that were therein; except the gold and silver, and vessels of brass and iron, which they consecrated into the treasury of the Lord.
25 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.
But Josue saved Rahab the harlot and her father’s house, and all she had, and they dwelt in the midst of Israel until this present day: because she hid the messengers whom he had sent to spy out Jericho. At that time, Josue made an imprecation, saying:
26 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.”
Cursed be the man before the Lord, that shall raise up and build the city of Jericho. In his firstborn may he lay the foundation thereof, and in the last of his children set up its gates.
27 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Jehova agĩkorwo arĩ hamwe na Joshua, nayo ngumo yake ĩkĩhunja kũndũ guothe bũrũri ũcio.
And the Lord was with Josue, and his name was noised throughout all the land.
