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 [chose] two men from [their camp at] Acacia. He told them, “Go [across the Jordan River] and secretly find out all that you can about the land on that side of the river, especially about Jericho [city].” So the two men crossed [the river and entered Jericho]. They entered the house of a prostitute, whose name was Rahab. They stayed in her house [that 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.
But someone [saw them and] told the king of Jericho, “Some Israeli men have come here tonight to spy 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.
So the king sent some messengers to tell Rahab, “Bring out the men who came and entered your house, [so that we can kill them], because they have come [here] to (spy out/find out all they can about) this 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.
She told them that the two men had gone to her house. But she had hidden the two men there. So when the messengers came to her house, she told them, “Two men came here, but I did not know where they had come 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.
At dusk, just before (guards closed the city gate/the city gates were closed), the two men left. I do not know where they went. So, go quickly and search for them! Perhaps you may catch 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 was lying, ] she had taken the two men up to the [flat] roof of her house and had hidden them under the piles of flax that she had laid on the roof.
7 Anagema hige'za ana netrema zanazerinaku zamagare'za Jodani tintega vahe'mo'zama taka'ma nehazarega nevazageno'a, rankumamofo kahana erigi'naze.
The messengers went out of the city to search for the two men. Immediately, the guards shut the city gate. The messengers went along the road that leads down to the place where people can walk across the Jordan [River], [but they did not find the two men].
8 Hagi ana afure ne'tremoke ko'ma masezanku Rehapu'a nomote marerino,
Before the two men lay down [to sleep] that night, Rahab went up to 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, “We know that Yahweh [is about to] give this land to you Israelis, and as a result all the people living in this land are terrified because of you.
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.
We have heard about how Yahweh dried up the water of the Red Sea for you to cross it when you left Egypt. And we have heard how you killed Sihon and Og, the two kings of the tribe of Amor who lived east of the Jordan [River]. You [Israelis] totally destroyed everyone [and everything in their kingdom].
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.
When we heard about those things, we were very dismayed. We no longer have enough courage to fight against you, because we know that Yahweh, the God whom you [worship], is helping you. [And we know that] he rules everything in heaven 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 [I want you to] solemnly promise me, and ask Yahweh to punish you if you do not do what you promise. Solemnly promise me that you will act kindly to me and my family, because I have acted kindly to you.
13 Hagi nenfa'ma nenarera'ma nasarehe'ima nanunknahe'ine naga zami'nena, zamaza hinke'za, Israeli vahe'mo'za tahe ofriho.
Do something to prove that you will (spare the lives of/not kill) my father and my mother, my brothers and sisters, and all of their families. Promise me that you [Israelis] will not kill us [when you destroy this city].”
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.
The two men replied, “We desire that God will cause us to die if we do not do as we say! If you do not tell others what we [are planning to] do, we will act kindly toward you all when Yahweh enables us to possess the land.”
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.
[One of] the outside walls of the house where Rahab lived was part of the wall [that was around] the city. So she fastened a rope outside the window [that was in that wall], by which the men could climb down the 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.
Then she said to them, “When you leave the city, go up into the hills so that the men who are searching for you will not find you. Hide in caves in the hills for three days, until the men who are searching for you return to the city. Then you can return safely to your camp.”
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.
The two men [gave her a red cord, and] said to her, “This is what you must do; if you do not do this, we will not be required to do what we have vowed to do.
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.
You must tie this red cord in the window that has the rope by which we will climb down. You must let the cord hang there. And you must bring your father and your mother and your brothers and all the others in your family inside the house. Then, when our army enters your land, we will see the cord, and we will not kill the people in your 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.
If anyone in your family goes outside this house into the street, [our soldiers] will kill them, and we will not be guilty [MTY] for doing that. But if anyone who is in this house with you is injured, we will be guilty for causing that.
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 tell anyone what we [are planning to] do, we are not required to do what we have vowed to do.”
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.
Rahab said, “I agree to do what you say.” So they climbed down the rope and left. And she left the red cord tied 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.
When the two men left the city, they went up into the hills. They stayed there for three days, while the men [who had been sent by the king] continued to search for them. They searched all along the road, but they did not find the two men. So they returned to the city.
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 started back toward their camp. They went down from the hills, went down to the river, crossed it at the place where people can walk across it, and returned to their camp. They told Joshua everything that had happened to them.
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.
They said to Joshua, “We are sure that Yahweh is going to enable us to possess everything that is in that land. The people there are terrified [IDM] because of us.”
