Joshua 6
1 Rĩu-rĩ, itũũra rĩu rĩa Jeriko rĩahingĩtwo biũ nĩ ũndũ wa andũ a Isiraeli. Gũtirĩ mũndũ woimaga nja kana agatoonya kuo.
And Jericho shuts itself up, and is shut up, because of the presence of the sons of Israel—none going out, and none coming 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 YHWH says to Joshua, “See, I have given Jericho and its king into your hand—mighty men of valor,
3 Thiũrũrũkai itũũra rĩu inene hamwe na andũ anyu othe a ita riita rĩmwe. Mwĩke ũguo mĩthenya ĩtandatũ.
and you have surrounded the city—all the men of battle—going around the city once; thus you 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 seven priests carry seven horns of the rams before the Ark, and on the seventh day you go around the city seven times, and the priests blow with the horns,
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 it has been, in the prolonging of the horn of the ram, in your hearing the voice of the horn, all the people shout [with] a great shout, and the wall of the city has fallen under it, and the people have gone up, each straight before him.”
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.”
And Joshua son of Nun calls to the priests and says to them, “Carry the Ark of the Covenant, and seven priests carry seven horns of the rams before the Ark of YHWH”;
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, “Pass over, and go around the city, and he who is armed passes over before the Ark of YHWH.”
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 it comes to pass, when Joshua speaks to the people, that the seven priests carrying seven horns of the rams before YHWH have passed over and blown with the horns, and the Ark of the Covenant of YHWH is going after them;
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 he who is armed is going before the priests blowing the horns, and he who is gathering up is going after the Ark, going on and blowing with the horns;
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!”
and Joshua has commanded the people, saying, “Do not shout, nor cause your voice to be heard, nor does a word go out from your mouth, until the day of my saying to you, Shout! Then you have shouted.”
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.
And the Ark of YHWH goes around the city, going around once, and they come into the camp, and lodge in the camp.
12 Rũciinĩ rũrũ rũngĩ, Joshua agĩũkĩra tene, nao athĩnjĩri-Ngai makĩoya ithandũkũ rĩu rĩa kĩrĩkanĩro kĩa Jehova.
And Joshua rises early in the morning, and the priests carry the Ark of YHWH,
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 priests carrying seven horns of the rams before the Ark of YHWH are walking, going on, and they have blown with the horns—and he who is armed is going before them, and he who is gathering up is going behind the Ark of YHWH—going on and blowing with the horns.
14 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũthenya wa keerĩ magĩthiũrũrũka itũũra rĩu inene riita rĩmwe, magĩcooka kambĩ. Meekire ũguo mĩthenya ĩtandatũ.
And they go around the city once on the second day, and return to the camp; thus they have done [for] 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.
And it comes to pass, on the seventh day, that they rise early, at the ascending of the dawn, and go around the city, according to this manner, seven times; (only on that day have they gone around the city 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 it comes to pass, at the seventh time, the priests have blown with the horns, and Joshua says to the people, “Shout! For YHWH has given 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 the city has been devoted, it and all that [is] in it, to YHWH; only Rahab the harlot lives, she and all who [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.
and surely you have kept from the devoted thing, lest you devote [yourselves], and have taken from the devoted thing, and have made the camp of Israel become a devoted thing, and have troubled it;
19 Betha yothe na thahabu, na indo cia gĩcango na kĩgera, nĩ nyamũrĩre Jehova na no nginya ciigwo kĩgĩĩna-inĩ gĩake.”
and all the silver and gold, and vessels of bronze and iron—it [is] holy to YHWH; it comes into the treasury of YHWH.”
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.
And the people shout, and blow with the horns, and it comes to pass, when the people hear the voice of the horn, that the people shout [with] a great shout, and the wall falls under it, and the people goes up into the city, each straight before him, and they capture 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 they devote all that [is] in the city, from man even to woman, from young even to aged, even to ox, and sheep, and donkey, by the mouth 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.”
And Joshua said to the two men who are spying out the land, “Go into the house of the woman, the harlot, and bring out the woman from there, and all whom she has, as you have sworn to her.”
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, those spying, go in and bring out Rahab, and her father, and her mother, and her brothers, and all whom she has; indeed, they have brought out all her relatives, and place them at the outside of the camp of Israel.
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.
And they have burned the city with fire, and all that [is] in it; only, the silver and the gold, and the vessels of bronze, and of iron, they have given [to] the treasury of the house of YHWH;
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.
and Rahab the harlot, and the house of her father, and all whom she has, Joshua has kept alive; and she dwells in the midst of Israel to this day, for she hid the messengers whom Joshua sent to spy out Jericho.
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.”
And Joshua adjures [them] at that time, saying, “Cursed [is] the man before YHWH who raises up and has built this city, [even] Jericho; he lays its foundation in his firstborn, and he sets up its doors in his youngest.”
27 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Jehova agĩkorwo arĩ hamwe na Joshua, nayo ngumo yake ĩkĩhunja kũndũ guothe bũrũri ũcio.
And YHWH is with Joshua, and his fame is in all the land.
