And Jericho [was] shutting and shut up because of [the] people of Israel there not [was one] going out and there not [was one] coming.
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 he said Yahweh to Joshua see I have given in hand your Jericho and king its [the] mighty [men] of strength.
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 you will go around the city all [the] men of war you will encircle the city a time one thus you will 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 they will carry seven trumpets of rams' horns before the ark and on the day seventh you will go round the city seven times and the priests they will give a blast on 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 will be when blow - on [the] horn of ram's horn (just as hear you *Q(K)*) [the] sound of the trumpet they will shout all the people a shout loud and it will fall [the] wall of the city in place its and they will go up the people everyone before himself.
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 he called Joshua [the] son of Nun to the priests and he said to them lift up [the] ark of the covenant and seven priests they will carry seven trumpets of rams' horns before [the] ark of Yahweh.
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 he said *Q(K)*) to the people pass on and go round the city and the armed [man] he will pass on before [the] ark of Yahweh.
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 when had said Joshua to the people and seven the priests [who] were carrying seven [the] trumpets of rams' horns before Yahweh they passed on and they gave a blast on the trumpets and [the] ark of [the] covenant of Yahweh [was] going after 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 [man] [was] walking before the priests ([who] give a blast on *Q(K)*) the trumpets and the rearguard [was] walking behind the ark walking and giving blasts on the trumpets.
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 the people he commanded Joshua saying not you must shout and not you must make heard voice your and not it will go out from mouth your a word until [the] day say I to you shout and you will 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.
And he caused to go around [the] ark of Yahweh the city it encircled [it] a time one and they went the camp and they stayed in the camp.
12 Joshua biliri nʼisi ụtụtụ echi ya, ndị nchụaja bulikwara igbe ọgbụgba ndụ Onyenwe anyị.
And he rose early Joshua in the morning and they lifted the priests [the] ark of Yahweh.
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 seven the priests [who] were carrying seven [the] trumpets of rams' horns before [the] ark of Yahweh [were] walking continuously and they gave blasts on the trumpets and the armed [man] [was] walking before them and the rearguard [was] walking behind [the] ark of Yahweh (walking *Q(K)*) and giving blasts on the trumpets.
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 they went around the city on the day second a time one and they returned the camp thus 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 was - on the day seventh and they rose early when came up the dawn and they went around the city according to the custom this seven times only on the day that they went round 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 was at the time seventh they gave a blast the priests on the trumpets and he said Joshua to the people shout for he has given Yahweh to 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 it will be the city a devoted thing it and all that [is] in it to Yahweh only Rahab the prostitute she will live she and every [one] who [is] with her in the house for she hid the messengers whom 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 only you keep from the devoted thing[s] lest you should totally destroy and you will take any of the devoted thing[s] and you will make [the] camp of Israel into a devoted thing and you will 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.”
And all - silver and gold and articles of bronze and iron [is] a holy thing it to Yahweh [the] treasury of Yahweh it will go.
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.
And it shouted the people and they gave a blast on the trumpets and it was when heard the people [the] sound of the trumpet and they shouted the people a shout loud and it fell the city wall in place its and it went up the people the city towards everyone before himself and they captured 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 totally destroyed all that [was] in the city from man and unto woman from young man and unto old [man] and unto ox[en] and sheep and donkey[s] to [the] mouth 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 to two the men who had spied out the land he said Joshua go [the] house of the woman the prostitute and bring out from there the woman and every [one] who [belongs] to her just as you swore to 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 they went the young men who had spied out and they brought out Rahab and father her and mother her and brothers her and every [one] who [belonged] to her and all famili her they brought out and they put them from [the] outside of [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 the city they burned with fire and all that [was] in it only - the silver and the gold and [the] articles of bronze and iron they put [the] treasury of [the] house of Yahweh.
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.
And Rahab the prostitute and [the] household of father her and every [one] who [belonged] to her he let live Joshua and she has dwelt in [the] midst of Israel until the day this for she hid the messengers whom he had sent Joshua 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 he administered an oath Joshua at the time that saying [is] cursed the person before Yahweh who he will arise and he will rebuild the city this Jericho with firstborn his he will found it and with young [son] his he will set up gates its.
27 Ya mere, Onyenwe anyị nọnyeere Joshua. Akụkọ a kọrọ banyere ya gbasara nke ukwuu nʼala ahụ niile.
And he was Yahweh with Joshua and it was [the] report of him in all the land.
