Joshua 6
1 Ma e mechiri ọnụ ụzọ e si abata Jeriko nke ọma, nʼihi ụmụ Izrel. Ọ dịghị onye ọbụla na-apụ nʼezi, ọ dịghịkwa onye na-abata nʼime ya.
(NOW Jericho was straitly shut up because of the children of Israel: none went out, and none came in.)
2 Ma Onyenwe anyị gwara Joshua sị, “Lee, enyefela m obodo a bụ Jeriko, ya na eze ya, na ndị dị ike ibu agha nọ nʼime ya, nʼaka gị.
And the LORD said unto Joshua, See, I have given into thine hand Jericho, and the king thereof, and the mighty men of valour.
3 Gị na ndị agha gị zọọnụ ije gburugburu obodo a. Unu ga-ejegharị gburugburu mgbidi obodo a otu ugbo nʼụbọchị. Unu ga-esi otu a jegharịa ụbọchị isii.
And ye shall compass the city, all the men of war, going about the city once. Thus shalt thou do six days.
4 Ndị nchụaja asaa, ndị ga-eji opi mpi ebule asaa ga-ebu ụzọ gawa nʼihu. Ndị nchụaja ndị ọzọ ga-ebu igbe ọgbụgba ndụ. Nʼụbọchị nke asaa, unu ga-agba obodo ahụ gburugburu ugboro asaa. Mgbe unu na-eme nke a, ndị nchụaja asaa ahụ ga na-afụ opi mpi ebule ha.
And seven priests shall bear seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the ark: and the seventh day ye shall compass the city seven times, and the priests shall blow with the trumpets.
5 Emesịa, ndị nchụaja ga-afụsi opi ahụ ike otu ugbo ọzọ, ha ga-afụ ya ka ọ daa ụda nke ukwu. Mgbe mmadụ niile nụrụ ụda opi a, ha niile ga-eti mkpu nke ga-ada ezi ụda. Nke a ga-eme ka mgbidi obodo ahụ daa. Mgbe ahụ, onye agha ọbụla ga-esite nʼebe ọbụla ọ nọ banye nʼime obodo ahụ.”
And it shall be, that when they make a long blast with the ram’s horn, and when ye hear the sound of the trumpet, all the people shall shout with a great shout; and the wall of the city shall fall down flat, and the people shall go up every man straight before him.
6 Ya mere, Joshua nwa Nun kpọrọ ndị nchụaja sị ha, “Burunu igbe ọgbụgba ndụ Onyenwe anyị ahụ, ka ndị nchụaja asaa nʼime unu werekwa opi mpi ebule buru ụzọ na-aga nʼihu ya.”
And Joshua the son of Nun called the priests, and said unto them, Take up the ark of the covenant, and let seven priests bear seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the ark of the LORD.
7 Mgbe ahụ Joshua nyere ndị Izrel iwu sị ha, “Zọlịenụ ije! Gbaanụ obodo a gburugburu, ka ndị agha na-aga nʼihu igbe ọgbụgba ndụ Onyenwe anyị.”
And they said unto the people, Pass on, and compass the city, and let the armed men pass on before the ark of the LORD.
8 Mgbe Joshua gwachara ndị Izrel okwu, ndị nchụaja asaa ahụ bu opi ike nʼaka ha, nʼihu Onyenwe anyị, gafere nʼihu na-afụ opi ike ha. Ndị bu igbe ọgbụgba ndụ Onyenwe anyị sochiri ha azụ.
And it was so, that when Joshua had spoken unto the people, the seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the LORD passed on, and blew with the trumpets: and the ark of the covenant of the LORD followed them.
9 Ndị agha na-aga nʼihu ndị nchụaja bụ ndị na-afụ opi ike, ebe ndị agha ndị ọzọ na-esote igbe ọgbụgba ndụ nʼazụ. Nʼoge a niile ha na-azọ ije, ndị na-afụ opi ike gara nʼihu na-eme nke a.
And the armed men went before the priests that blew the trumpets, and the rearward went after the ark, [the priests] blowing with the trumpets as they went.
10 Ma Joshua nyere ndị Izrel iwu sị ha, “Unu emela mkpọtụ agha ọbụla, maọbụ kwee ka anụ olu unu, maọbụ kwuo okwu ọbụla, tutu ruo ụbọchị m ga-asị unu tie mkpu. Mgbe m nyere unu iwu a, tienụ ezi mkpu.”
And Joshua commanded the people, saying, Ye shall not shout, nor let your voice be heard, neither shall any word proceed out of your mouth, until the day I bid you shout; then shall ye shout.
11 Ya mere, e buuru igbe ọgbụgba ndụ Onyenwe anyị ahụ jegharịa obodo ahụ gburugburu otu ugboro nʼụbọchị ahụ. Mgbe ha mesịrị nke a, onye ọbụla laghachiri nʼebe ụlọ ikwu ya dị rahụ ụra abalị.
So he caused the ark of the LORD to compass the city, going about it once: and they came into the camp, and lodged in the camp.
12 Joshua biliri nʼisi ụtụtụ echi ya, ndị nchụaja bulikwara igbe ọgbụgba ndụ Onyenwe anyị.
And Joshua rose early in the morning, and the priests took up the ark of the LORD.
13 Ndị nchụaja asaa ahụ bu opi ike asaa ndị ahụ, na-aga nʼihu igbe ọgbụgba ndụ Onyenwe anyị, na-afụ opi ike ha na-esepụghị aka. Ndị agha nọ nʼihu ha, ebe ndị nche na-eso ndị bu igbe ọgbụgba ndụ Onyenwe anyị nʼazụ, nʼoge niile a a na-afụ opi ike ndị a na-esepụghị aka.
And the seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the ark of the LORD went on continually, and blew with the trumpets; and the armed men went before them; and the rearward came after the ark of the LORD, [the priests] blowing with the trumpets as they went.
14 Nʼụbọchị nke abụọ, ha gbara obodo ahụ gburugburu otu ugboro, laghachikwa nʼụlọ ikwu ha. Otu a ka ha mere ruo nʼụbọchị nke isii.
And the second day they compassed the city once, and returned into the camp: so they did six days.
15 Ma nʼisi ụtụtụ ụbọchị nke asaa, ha bilitere mgbe chi na-abọbeghị, gbaa obodo ahụ gburugburu ugboro asaa dịka ha na-eme. Ma ọ dị iche nʼụbọchị ahụ, bụ naanị na ha gbara obodo ahụ gburugburu ugboro asaa.
And it came to pass on the seventh day, that they rose early at the dawning of the day, and compassed the city after the same manner seven times: only on that day they compassed the city seven times.
16 O ruo, nʼoge njegharị nke ugboro asaa ahụ, mgbe ndị nchụaja asaa ndị a fụsiri opi ike asaa ndị ahụ ike karịa, ka Joshua gwara ndị Izrel sị ha, “Tienụ mkpu! Nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị enyela unu obodo a!
And it came to pass at the seventh time, when the priests blew with the trumpets, Joshua said unto the people, Shout; for the LORD hath given you the city.
17 Gbuonụ ihe niile na-eku ume ndụ, nʼihi na obodo a na ihe niile dị nʼime ha bụ ihe e doro nsọ nye Onyenwe anyị. Ma ọ bụ naanị Rehab, nwanyị akwụna ahụ ka unu ga-ahapụ ndụ, ya na ndị ọbụla nọ nʼụlọ ya. Nʼihi na o zoro ndị anyị zigara inyochapụta obodo ahụ.
And the city shall be devoted, even it and all that is therein, to the LORD: only Rahab the harlot shall live, she and all that are with her in the house, because she hid the messengers that we sent.
18 Ma unu onwe unu, wezuganụ onwe unu pụọ nʼebe ihe ndị a kwadoro mbibi dị, ka unu gharakwa iweta ịla nʼiyi nye onwe unu site na iwere ihe ọbụla nʼime ha. Ma ọ bụghị otu a, unu ga-eme ka mbibi dakwasị ụlọ ikwu ụmụ Izrel niile.
And ye, in any wise keep yourselves from the devoted thing, lest when ye have devoted it, ye take of the devoted thing; so should ye make the camp of Israel accursed, and trouble it.
19 Ma ihe niile e ji ọlaọcha na ọlaedo kpụọ, na ihe niile e ji bronz na igwe kpụọ, ka a ga-edo iche nye Onyenwe anyị. A ga-ewebata ha nʼụlọakụ Onyenwe anyị.”
But all the silver, and gold, and vessels of brass and iron, are holy unto the LORD: they shall come into the treasury of the LORD.
20 Mgbe ụda opi ike ahụ dasiri ike, ndị agha tiri mkpu, na ụda opi ike ahụ. Mgbe ndị ikom tiri oke mkpu, mgbidi ahụ dara dapịasịa, nke mere na onye ọbụla chere ihu banye nʼime obodo ahụ, lụgbuo obodo ahụ.
So the people shouted, and [the priests] blew with the trumpets: and it came to pass, when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, that the people shouted with a great shout, and the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they took the city.
21 Ha debere obodo a iche nye Onyenwe anyị site nʼiji mma agha ha gbuchapụ ihe niile dị ndụ nʼobodo ahụ, ma nwoke, ma nwanyị, ma nwantakịrị, ma okenye, ma ehi, ma atụrụ, ma ịnyịnya ibu, ihe niile dị nʼime ya.
And they utterly destroyed all that was in the city, both man and woman, both young and old, and ox, and sheep, and ass, with the edge of the sword.
22 Mgbe ahụ, Joshua gwara ndị ikom abụọ ahụ buru ụzọ gaa nnyochapụta obodo ahụ anya sị ha, “Mezuonụ nkwa unu kwere. Gaanụ nʼụlọ nwanyị akwụna, kpọpụta ya na ndị niile dị nʼụlọ ya.”
And Joshua said unto the two men that had spied out the land, Go into the harlot’s house, and bring out thence the woman, and all that she hath, as ye sware unto her.
23 Ya mere, ụmụ okorobịa abụọ ahụ bụ ndị mere nledo ala ahụ, bara nʼụlọ ahụ, kpọpụta Rehab na nna ya na nne ya na ụmụnne ya na ndị ikwu ya niile. Ha kpọpụtara ndị ezinaụlọ ya niile debe ha nʼotu ebe nke dị nʼazụ ọmụma ụlọ ikwu ụmụ Izrel.
And the young men the spies went in, and brought out Rahab, and her father, and her mother, and her brethren, and all that she had, all her kindred also they brought out; and they set them without the camp of Israel.
24 Ha kpọrọ obodo ahụ ọkụ, ya na ihe niile dị nʼime ya. Ma ha wepụtara naanị ọlaọcha na ọlaedo, na ihe niile e ji bronz na igwe kpụọ, tinye nʼụlọakụ Onyenwe anyị.
And they burnt the city with fire, and all that was therein: only the silver, and the gold, and the vessels of brass and of iron, they put into the treasury of the house of the LORD.
25 Joshua mere ka Rehab, nwanyị akwụna ahụ, na ndị ezinaụlọ ya niile dịrị ndụ. Nʼihi na Rehab zoro ndị ikom abụọ Joshua zigara, mee ka ha dị ndụ, bụ ndị gara inyochapụta obodo Jeriko. Ya mere, o binyere ndị Izrel ruo taa.
But Rahab the harlot, and her father’s household, and all that she had, did Joshua save alive; and she dwelt in the midst of Israel, unto this day; because she hid the messengers, which Joshua sent to spy out Jericho.
26 Mgbe ahụ, Joshua gbara obodo Jeriko iyi sị, “Ọbụbụ ọnụ ka a na-abụ nwoke ọbụla nʼihu Onyenwe anyị nke ga-ebili wuokwa obodo Jeriko ọzọ. “Ndụ ọkpara ya ka ọ ga-eji tọọ ntọala ya niile, ndụ nwa ya nke nta, ka ọ ga-eji guzobe ọnụ ụzọ ama ya niile ọtọ.”
And Joshua charged them with an oath at that time, saying, Cursed be the man before the LORD, that riseth up and buildeth this city Jericho: with the loss of his firstborn shall he lay the foundation thereof, and with the loss of his youngest son shall he set up the gates of it.
27 Ya mere, Onyenwe anyị nọnyeere Joshua. Akụkọ a kọrọ banyere ya gbasara nke ukwuu nʼala ahụ niile.
So the LORD was with Joshua; and his fame was in all the land.
