< Yosua 2 >
1 Yosua bin Nun dengan diam-diam melepas dari Sitim dua orang pengintai, katanya: "Pergilah, amat-amatilah negeri itu dan kota Yerikho." Maka pergilah mereka dan sampailah mereka ke rumah seorang perempuan sundal, yang bernama Rahab, lalu tidur di situ.
And he sent Joshua [the] son of Nun from Shittim two men spies secretly saying go see the land and Jericho and they went and they went [the] house of a woman a prostitute and name her [was] Rahab and they lay down there.
2 Kemudian diberitahukanlah kepada raja Yerikho, demikian: "Tadi malam ada orang datang ke mari dari orang Israel untuk menyelidik negeri ini."
And it was told to [the] king of Jericho saying here! men they have come hither this night from [the] people of Israel to spy out the land.
3 Maka raja Yerikho menyuruh orang kepada Rahab, mengatakan: "Bawalah ke luar orang-orang yang datang kepadamu itu, yang telah masuk ke dalam rumahmu, sebab mereka datang untuk menyelidik seluruh negeri ini."
And he sent [the] king of Jericho to Rahab saying bring out the men who came to you who they came to house your for to spy out all the land they have come.
4 Tetapi perempuan itu telah membawa dan menyembunyikan kedua orang itu. Berkatalah ia: "Memang, orang-orang itu telah datang kepadaku, tetapi aku tidak tahu dari mana mereka,
And she took the woman [the] two the men and she hid him and she said - right they came to me the men and not I knew from where [were] they.
5 dan ketika pintu gerbang hendak ditutup menjelang malam, maka keluarlah orang-orang itu; aku tidak tahu, ke mana orang-orang itu pergi. Segeralah kejar mereka, tentulah kamu dapat menyusul mereka."
And it was the gate [about] to shut at darkness and the men they went out not I know where? did they go the men pursue quickly after them for you will overtake them.
6 Tetapi perempuan itu telah menyuruh keduanya naik ke sotoh rumah dan menyembunyikan mereka di bawah timbunan batang rami, yang ditebarkan di atas sotoh itu.
And she she had taken up them the roof towards and she had hidden them among [the] flax of the tree that had been arranged by her on the roof.
7 Maka pergilah orang-orang itu, mengejar mereka ke arah sungai Yordan, ke tempat-tempat penyeberangan, dan ditutuplah pintu gerbang, segera sesudah pengejar-pengejar itu keluar.
And the men they pursued after them [the] road of the Jordan to the fords and the gate people closed after just when they had gone out the pursuers after them.
8 Tetapi sebelum kedua orang itu tidur, naiklah perempuan itu mendapatkan mereka di atas sotoh
And they not yet they had lain down! and she she went up to them on the roof.
9 dan berkata kepada orang-orang itu: "Aku tahu, bahwa TUHAN telah memberikan negeri ini kepada kamu dan bahwa kengerian terhadap kamu telah menghinggapi kami dan segala penduduk negeri ini gemetar menghadapi kamu.
And she said to the men I know that he has given Yahweh to you the land and that it has fallen dread your on us and that they have melted away all [the] inhabitants of the land because of you.
10 Sebab kami mendengar, bahwa TUHAN telah mengeringkan air Laut Teberau di depan kamu, ketika kamu berjalan keluar dari Mesir, dan apa yang kamu lakukan kepada kedua raja orang Amori yang di seberang sungai Yordan itu, yakni kepada Sihon dan Og, yang telah kamu tumpas.
For we have heard this: he dried up Yahweh [the] waters of [the] sea of reed[s] from before you when came out you from Egypt and [that] which you did to [the] two [the] kings of the Amorite[s] who [was] on [the] other side of the Jordan to Sihon and to Og whom you totally destroyed them.
11 Ketika kami mendengar itu, tawarlah hati kami dan jatuhlah semangat setiap orang menghadapi kamu, sebab TUHAN, Allahmu, ialah Allah di langit di atas dan di bumi di bawah.
And we heard and it melted heart our and not it arose again spirit in anyone because of you for Yahweh God your he [is] God in the heavens above and on the earth beneath.
12 Maka sekarang, bersumpahlah kiranya demi TUHAN, bahwa karena aku telah berlaku ramah terhadapmu, kamu juga akan berlaku ramah terhadap kaum keluargaku; dan berikanlah kepadaku suatu tanda yang dapat dipercaya,
And therefore swear please to me by Yahweh for I have done with you loyalty and you will do also you with [the] household of father my loyalty and you will give to me a sign of faithfulness.
13 bahwa kamu akan membiarkan hidup ayah dan ibuku, saudara-saudaraku yang laki-laki dan yang perempuan dan semua orang-orang mereka dan bahwa kamu akan menyelamatkan nyawa kami dari maut."
And you will let live father my and mother my and brothers my and (sisters my *Q(K)*) and all who [belong] to them and you will deliver lives our from death.
14 Lalu jawab kedua orang itu kepadanya: "Nyawa kamilah jaminan bagi kamu, asal jangan kaukabarkan perkara kami ini; apabila TUHAN nanti memberikan negeri ini kepada kami, maka kami akan menunjukkan terima kasih dan setia kami kepadamu."
And they said to her the men life our for you to die if not you will tell business our this and it will be when gives Yahweh to us the land and we will do with you loyalty and faithfulness.
15 Kemudian perempuan itu menurunkan mereka dengan tali melalui jendela, sebab rumahnya itu letaknya pada tembok kota, jadi pada tembok itulah ia diam.
And she let down them with rope through the window for house her [was] in [the] wall of the city wall and in the city wall she [was] dwelling.
16 Berkatalah ia kepada mereka: "Pergilah ke pegunungan, supaya pengejar-pengejar itu jangan menemui kamu, dan bersembunyilah di sana tiga hari lamanya, sampai pengejar-pengejar itu pulang; kemudian bolehlah kamu melanjutkan perjalananmu."
And she said to them the hill country towards go lest they should meet you the pursuers and you will hide yourselves there three days until return the pursuers and after you will go to way your.
17 Kedua orang itu berkata kepadanya: "Kami akan bebas dari sumpah kami ini kepadamu, yang telah kausuruh kami ikrarkan--
And they said to her the men [will be] free we from oath your this which you made swear us.
18 sesungguhnya, apabila kami memasuki negeri ini, haruslah tali dari benang kirmizi ini kauikatkan pada jendela tempat engkau menurunkan kami, dan ayahmu serta ibumu, saudara-saudaramu serta seluruh kaum keluargamu kaukumpulkan di rumahmu.
Here! we [are] about to come in the land [the] cord of [the] thread of the scarlet this you will bind in the window which you let down us in it and father your and mother your and brothers your and all [the] household of father your you will gather to you the house towards.
19 Setiap orang yang keluar nanti dari pintu rumahmu, harus sendiri menanggung akibatnya, kalau darahnya tertumpah, dan kami tidak bersalah; tetapi siapapun juga yang ada di dalam rumahmu, jika ada orang yang menciderainya, kamilah yang menanggung akibat pertumpahan darahnya.
And it will be every [one] who he will go out from [the] doors of house your - the outside towards blood his [will be] on own head his and we [will be] free and every [one] who he will be with you in the house blood his [will be] on head our if a hand it will be on him.
20 Tetapi jika engkau mengabarkan perkara kami ini, maka bebaslah kami dari sumpah kepadamu itu, yang telah kausuruh kami ikrarkan."
And if you will tell business our this and we will be free from oath your which you made swear us.
21 Perempuan itupun berkata: "Seperti yang telah kamu katakan, demikianlah akan terjadi." Sesudah itu dilepasnyalah orang-orang itu pergi, maka berangkatlah mereka. Kemudian perempuan itu mengikatkan tali kirmizi itu pada jendela.
And she said according to words your [be] so it and she sent off them and they went and she bound [the] cord of the scarlet in the window.
22 Merekapun pergilah dan tiba di pegunungan. Mereka tinggal di sana tiga hari lamanya, sampai pengejar-pengejar itu pulang. Pengejar-pengejar itu telah mencari di mana-mana sepanjang jalan tanpa menemukan mereka.
And they went and they came the hill country towards and they remained there three days until they returned the pursuers and they searched the pursuers in all the way and not they found [them].
23 Maka pulanglah kedua orang itu, mereka turun dari pegunungan, lalu menyeberang dan sampai kepada Yosua bin Nun, kemudian mereka ceritakan segala pengalaman mereka.
And they returned [the] two the men and they went down from the hill country and they passed over and they came to Joshua [the] son of Nun and they recounted to him all the [things that] had found with them.
24 Kata mereka kepada Yosua: "TUHAN telah menyerahkan seluruh negeri ini ke dalam tangan kita, bahkan seluruh penduduk negeri itu gemetar menghadapi kita."
And they said to Joshua that he has given Yahweh in hand our all the land and also they have melted away all [the] inhabitants of the land because of us.
