Josue 2
1 Sililimed ngarud a nangibaon ni Josue nga anak ni Nun iti dua a lallaki a kas espia manipud Settim. Kinunana, “Mapankayo iti entero a daga, nangnangruna iti Jerico.” Napanda ket dimtengda iti balay ti maysa a balangkantis nga agnagan iti Rahab, ket nagdagusda sadiay.
Then did Joshua son of Nun, send out from The Acacias, two men to spy out silently, saying, Go view the land, and Jericho. So they came, and entered the house of a harlot, whose name was Rahab, and lay there.
2 Naipakaammo daytoy iti ari ti Jerico, “Immay ditoy dagiti lallaki manipud Israel a mangsiim iti daga.”
And it was told the king of Jericho, saying, —Lo! men, have come in hither to-night of the sons of Israel to search out the land.
3 Nangipadanon ti ari iti sao kenni Rahab ket kinunana, “Iruarmo dagiti lallaki nga immay kenka a simrek iti balaymo, ta immayda a mangsiim iti entero a daga.”
So the king of Jericho sent unto Rahab, saying, —Bring forth the men that are come in unto thee who have entered thy house, for, to search out all the land, have they come.
4 Ngem innalan idi ti babai dagiti dua a lallaki ket inlemmengna ida. Ket kinunana, “Wen, immay kaniak dagiti lallaki, ngem saanko nga ammo no sadino ti naggapuanda.
And the woman took the two men and hid them, —and said: Even so, the men did come in unto me, but I knew not from whence they were;
5 Pimmanawda idi sumipnget, idi agrikep ti ruangan ti siudad. Saanko nga ammo ti napananda. Mabalin a matiliwyo ida no darasenyo ida a kamaten.”
and it came to pass, as the gate was about to be shut in the darkness, that, the men, went out, I know not whither the men went, —pursue them quickly for ye shall overtake them.
6 Ngem pinaulina idi ida iti bubungan ti balay ket inlemmengna ida kadagiti kayo ti lino nga inkabilna iti rabaw daytoy.
But, she, had taken them up to the roof, —and concealed them with the stalks of flax which she had laid in order for herself upon the roof.
7 Kinamat ngarud dagiti lallaki dagiti dua nga espia nga agturong iti pagballasiwan ti Jordan. Ket nagrikep dagiti ruangan apaman a nakaruar dagiti mangkamkamat.
So, the men, pursued them by way of the Jordan unto the fords, —the gate being shut as soon as they who pursued them had gone forth.
8 Saan pay a nakaidda dagiti dua nga espia idi inuli ida ti babai idiay pangatepan.
And, ere yet they slept, she, went up unto them, upon the roof;
9 Kinunana, “Ammok nga inted kadakayo ni Yahweh ti daga ta immay kadakami ti panagbuteng kadakayo. Agrunaw iti sangoananyo ti amin nga agnanaed iti daga.”
and said unto the men, I know that Yahweh hath given unto you the land, —and that the terror of you hath fallen upon us, and that all the inhabitants of the land, have melted away, from before you.
10 Nangngeganmi no kasano a pinamaga ni Yahweh ti danum ti Baybay dagiti Runo para kadakayo idi rimuarkayo manipud Egipto. Ken nangngeganmi ti inaramidyo kadagiti dua nga ari dagiti Amorreo idiay bangir ti Jordan—ni Sihon ken ni Og— a naan-anay a dinadaelyo.
For we have heard how Yahweh, dried up, the waters of the Red Sea from before you, when ye came forth out of Egypt, —and what ye did unto the two kings of the Amorites who were over the Jordan unto Sihon and unto Og, whom ye devoted to destruction;
11 Apaman a nangngeganmi daytoy, narunaw dagiti pusomi ket awan ti nabati a tured iti siasinoman—ta ni Yahweh a Diosyo ket Dios sadi-langit ken iti rabaw ti daga.
and, when we heard, then did our heart melt, and there rose up no longer any spirit in any man because of you, —for, as for Yahweh your God, he, is God—in the heavens above, and upon the earth beneath.
12 Ita ngarud, pangngaasiyo ta isapatayo kaniak babaen kenni Yahweh a kas iti panangngaasik kadakayo, kaassianyonto met iti balay ti amak. Ikkandak iti natalged a pagilasinan
Now, therefore I pray you, swear unto me by Yahweh, since I have dealt with you in lovingkindness, that, ye also, will deal with the house of my father in lovingkindness, and will give me a token of faithfulness,
13 nga ispalenyonto ti biag ti amak, inak, kakabsatko a lallaki ken babbai, ken dagiti amin a pamiliada, ken isalakandakaminto manipud iti ipapatay.”
and will save alive my father and my mother, and my brethren and my sisters, and all that they have, —and will deliver our souls from death.
14 Kinuna dagiti lallaki kenkuana, “Para kenka ti biagmi, uray agingga iti patay! No saanmo a sarsaritaen ti maipapan iti rantami, maasi ken napudnokaminto ngarud kenka inton ited ni Yahweh daytoy a daga kadakami.”
And the men said unto her, Our souls in your stead unto death, if ye utter not this our business, —so shall it be, when Yahweh shall give us the land, that we will deal with thee in lovingkindness and in faithfulness.
15 Pinaulogna ngarud ida idiay tawa babaen iti tali. Ti balay a pagnanaedanna ket naikapet iti pader ti siudad.
And she let them down with a cord through the window, —for, her house, was within the wall of the rampart, and, within the rampart, she was dwelling.
16 Kinunana kadakuada, “Mapankayo kadagiti turturod ket aglemmengkayo ta no saan ket masarakandakayo dagiti mangkamkamat kadakayo. Aglemmengkayo sadiay iti tallo nga aldaw agingga a makasubli dagiti mangkamkamat. Ket mapankayo iti dalanyo.”
And she said unto them—To the mountain, get you, lest the pursuers, fall in, with you, —and hide yourselves there, three days until the pursuers return, and, afterwards, shall ye go your way.
17 Kinuna dagiti dua nga espia kenni Rahab, “Awanto iti pagrebbenganmi kadagiti impasapatam kadakami, no saanmo nga aramiden daytoy:
And the men said unto her, —Free, will we be from this thine oath which thou hast made us swear:
18 Inton serkenmi ti daga, masapul a mangigalutka iti nalabaga a tali iti tawa a nangipaulogam kadakami, ket ummongem iti uneg ti balaymo ti ama ken inam, dagiti kakabsatmo ken amin a sangkabbalayan ti amam.
Lo! when we are coming into the land, this cord of crimson thread, must thou bind in the window by which thou didst let us down, and, thy father and thy mother and thy brethren and all the household of thy father, must thou gather together unto thee unto the house.
19 Siasinoman a rumuar manipud kadagiti ruangan ti balaymo, addanto iti rabaw ti uloda iti darada ket awanto ti pakabasolanmi. Ngem no madangran ti siasinoman kadakayo iti uneg ti balay, ti darananto ket adda iti rabaw ti ulomi.
And it shall be, whosoever shall go forth out of the doors of thy house into the street, his blood, shall be on his own head and, we, shall be free, —but, whosoever shall be with thee in the house, his blood, shall be on our heads, if a, hand, be upon him.
20 Ngem no ibagam daytoy a rantami, awanto ngarud ti pagrebbenganmi a mangtungpal iti inkarimi.
Or, if thou utter this our business, then shall we be free from this thine oath which thou hast made us swear.
21 Simmungbat ni Rahab, “Mapasamak koma ti kinunayo.” Pinalubosanna ida ket pimmanawda. Ket nangigalut isuna iti nalabaga a tali iti tawa.
And she said—According to your words, so, shall it be. Thus sent she them away and they departed, —and she bound the crimson cord in the window.
22 Pimmanawda ket napanda idiay turturod ket nagtalinaedda sadiay iti tallo nga aldaw agingga a nagsubli dagiti mangkamkamat kadakuada. Sinapsapul ida dagiti mangkamkamat kadagiti daldalan ngem awan ti nasarakanda.
And they went and came into the mountain, and abode there three days, until the pursuers had returned, —so the pursuers, made search, throughout all the way, but found them not.
23 Nagsubli dagiti dua a lallaki ket nagballasiwda a nagsublida kenni Josue nga anak ni Nun, ket imbagada kenkuana amin a napasamak kadakuada.
And the two men returned and came down out of the mountain, and crossed over and came unto Joshua, son of Nun, —and recounted to him all that had befallen them;
24 Ket kinunada kenni Josue, “Pudno nga inted ni Yahweh daytoy a daga kadatayo. Agrunrunaw amin nga agnanaed iti daydiay a daga gapu kadatayo.
and they said unto Joshua, Yahweh, hath delivered, into our hand all the land, —moreover also all the inhabitants of the land, have melted away, from before us.
