1 Hagi anante Sitimima manine'za Nuni nemofo Josua'a tare afureno ke netre'na oku'a huznanteno, amanage huno zanasami'ne, Kantu kaziga Kenani mopafi vutna Jeriko kumara ome afuretna keso'e hi'o. Higeke vuke mago monko a' agi'a Rehapu'e nehaza a'mofo nompi ana kenagera umase'na'e.
Then Joshua, the son of Nun, sent two men from Shittim secretly, with the purpose of searching out the land, and Jericho. So they went and came to the house of a loose woman of the town, named Rahab, where they took their rest for the night.
2 Hianagi mago'a vahe'mo'za vu'za Jeriko kumate kini nera amanage hu'za ome asami'naze, kva huo, meni kenage mago'a Israeli naga'mo'za mopati afure'za kenaku e'naze.
And it was said to the king of Jericho, See, some men have come here tonight from the children of Israel with the purpose of searching out the land.
3 Hagi Jeriko kini ne'mo'a anankema nentahino'a, amanage huta Rehapuna ome asamiho huno vahera huzmante'ne. Maka tagri mopama afure'zama kenaku'ma kagritegama e'za nonka'afima emani'naza vahera, zamavare megi'a zamatro.
Then the king of Jericho sent to Rahab, saying, Send out the men who have come to you and are in your house; for they have come with the purpose of searching out all the land.
4 Hianagi Rehapu'a ana netre'na zanavre franekino amanage huno zamasami'ne, Tamage nagritera e'na'anagi zanagra inantegati e'na'e nagra ontahi'noe.
And the woman took the two men and put them in a secret place; then she said, Yes, the men came to me, but I had no idea where they came from;
5 Hagi kinagama rankumamofo kahama erigi knama koftama nehigeke vu'na'anagi, iga vu'na'e nagra ozanage'noe. Hagi ame huta zanavaririta vanuta, ome zanazerigahaze.
And when it was the time for shutting the doors at dark, they went out; I have no idea where the men went: but if you go after them quickly, you will overtake them.
6 Hianagi Rehapu'a ana ne'trena zanavreno noma'amofo agofetu kukenama tro'ma nehaza traza anakino ante'nefi ome frakizanante'ne.
But she had taken them up to the roof, covering them with the stems of flax which she had put out in order there.
7 Anagema hige'za ana netrema zanazerinaku zamagare'za Jodani tintega vahe'mo'zama taka'ma nehazarega nevazageno'a, rankumamofo kahana erigi'naze.
So the men went after them on the road to Jordan as far as the river-crossing: and when they had gone out after them, the door into the town was shut.
8 Hagi ana afure ne'tremoke ko'ma masezanku Rehapu'a nomote marerino,
And before the men went to rest, she came up to them on the roof,
9 amanage huno ome zanasami'ne, Nagra antahi'noe, ama mopa ko Ra Anumzamo tamagri tami'ne. Ana higeta tagra tamagrikura tusi'a koro nehunkeno, maka ama mopafima mani'naza vahe'mo'zanena tamagrikura koro nehu'za tusi'a zamahirahiku nehaze.
And said to them, It is clear to me that the Lord has given you the land, and that the fear of you has come on us;
10 Na'ankure Isipiti'ma atreta azageno Ra Anumzamo'ma tamagri tamavufima koranke hagerima erineraneno, mopama eri hagagema higetama e'naza zana, tagra ko antahi'none. Hagi Jodani timofo kantu zage hanati kaziga Amori vahe'mokizmi kini netre zanagi'a Sihonine Oginema zanahe fri'naza zanku'enena ko antahi'none.
For we have had news of how the Lord made the Red Sea dry before you when you came out of Egypt; and what you did to the two kings of the Amorites, on the other side of Jordan, to Sihon and Og, whom you gave up to the curse.
11 Tagrama ana kema nentahita, tamagrikura tusi koro hu'none. Na'ankure Ra Anumzana tamagri Anumzamo'a monane mopanema tro'ma hu'nea Anumza mani'ne.
And because of this news, our hearts became like water, and there was no more spirit in any of us because of you; for the Lord your God is God in heaven on high and here on earth.
12 E'ina hu'negu menina muse huranantoanki, Ra Anumzamofo avufi huvempa hutna, nagrama so'e navu'nava'ma huranantoankna hutna, nagri naga'ma so'ema huzmantesu'ema hanuta'a, mago avame'za nami'o.
So now, will you give me your oath by the Lord, that, because I have been kind to you, you will be kind to my father's house,
13 Hagi nenfa'ma nenarera'ma nasarehe'ima nanunknahe'ine naga zami'nena, zamaza hinke'za, Israeli vahe'mo'za tahe ofriho.
And that you will keep safe my father and mother and my brothers and sisters and all they have, so that death may not come on us?
14 Anante ana ne'tremokea Rehapuna amanage huke asami'na'e, Na'a agafare tagra amafina e'no'e, kagra vahe'ma ozamasamisanana, henkama Ra Anumzamo'ma ama mopama tamisia zupa antahigamigahune. Tagra huvempa hu'ankino anama osanukeno'a, Ra Anumzamo'a tazeri haviza hugahie.
And the men said to her, Our life for yours if you keep our business secret; and when the Lord has given us the land, we will keep faith and be kind to you.
15 Anante Rehapua nomofona zaho eri kampinti nofite zanatregeke kuma keginamofo megi'a urami'na'e. Na'ankure noma'amo'a kumamofo keginare rehe'negu anara hu'ne.
Then she let them down from the window by a cord, for the house where she was living was on the town wall.
16 Ana nehuno amanage huno zanasami'ne, Tanagriku'ma nehakaza vahe'mo'za tutagiha huznantegahazanki agonarega freta vuta tagufa kna umani'neke'za etesageta, ete e'natega vi'o.
And she said to them, Get away into the hill-country, or the men who have gone after you will overtake you; keep yourselves safe there for three days, till the searchers have come back, and then go on your way.
17 Higeke ana netremokea Rehapuna amanage huke asami'na'e, hanki kagrama hanketa huvempa hugante'noa kea tagrama kasamu'a kema amage'ma antesanketa'a, ana huvempa keti'a eri otregahu'e.
And the men said to her, We will only be responsible for this oath which you have made us take,
18 Hanki menina antahio, ama zasi'ma eri kama atiramu'a kantera, kagra ama koranke nofira anakinte'nenka, negafama negrerama kasarehe'ima maka nagaka'anena zamavaretru hunka nonka'afi mani'nenketa tagra Israeli vahe'enena ama mopafina egahune.
If, when we come into the land, you put this cord of bright red thread in the window from which you let us down; and get your father and mother and your brothers and all your family into the house;
19 Hagi naga'kafinti'ma magomo'ma kagri noma atreno, megi'a kumamofo kampima vano nehanige'zama ahe frisageno'a, e'i tagri hazenkeompage agri'a hazenke. Hianagi magomo'ma kagri nompi mani'nenige'za eme ahe frisageno'a, e'i tagri knaza megahie.
Then if anyone goes out of your house into the street, his blood will be on his head, we will not be responsible; but if any damage comes to anyone in the house, his blood will be on our heads.
20 Hianagi tagrama e'no'a eri'zamofo nanekema vahe'ma zamasamisankeno'a, kagrama hanketama huvempama hu'no'a kemofo nona'a tagra hazenkea e'origahu'e.
But if you say anything about our business here, then we will be free from the oath you have made us take.
21 Hanki Rehapua ke zanirera amanage hu'ne, Mago narimpa huanki kema ha'a kante anteno anazana fore hino, nehuno huzanantegekema nevakeno'a ana koranke nofira noma'amofo zaho'ma eri kahante anakinte'ne.
And she said, Let it be as you say. Then she sent them away, and they went; and she put the bright red cord in the window.
22 Hagi ana netremokea atreke agonarega vuke tagufa zagegna fraki'nake'za, zanagenema re'naza vahe'mo'za karanka hake vagare'za vu'nazanagi ozanage'za, ete rukrahe hu'za Jeriko e'naze.
And they went into the hill-country and were there three days, till the men who had gone after them had come back; and those who went after them were searching for them everywhere without coming across them.
23 Ana agonafintira ana netremokea uramike Jodani tina ome takaheke vuke ana maka'zama zanagrite'ma fore'ma hu'nea zana, Nuni nemofo Josuana ome asami vagare'na'e.
Then the two men came down from the hill-country and went over and came back to Joshua, the son of Nun; and they gave him a complete account of what had taken place.
24 Anage nehuke Josuana asamike, tamagerafa huno Ra Anumzamo'a ana maka mopa tagri tazampi ante'ne. Na'ankure ana mopafima mani'naza veamo'za tagriku'ma nehu'za, zamahirahi nerege'za tusi koro nehaze.
And they said to Joshua, Truly, the Lord has given all the land into our hands; and all the people of the land have become like water because of us.
