Jozue 6
1 Bikuke ya engumba Jeriko ezalaki ya kokangama makasi penza mpo na bana ya Isalaele; moto moko te akokaki kokota to kobima.
Now Jericho was closely shut up and besieged, and none went out of it, and none came in.
2 Yawe alobaki na Jozue: — Tala, na maboko na yo, nasili kokaba Jeriko elongo na mokonzi na yango mpe bilombe na yango ya bitumba.
And the Lord said to Joshua, Behold, I deliver Jericho into your power, and its king in it, [and its] mighty men.
3 Botambola zingazinga ya engumba mbala moko na mokolo, yo elongo na bato nyonso ya etumba. Bosala bongo mikolo motoba.
And do you set the men of war round about it.
4 Kamata Banganga-Nzambe sambo; Nganga-Nzambe moko na moko asengeli komema kelelo moko basala na liseke ya meme. Banganga-Nzambe nyonso sambo basengeli kotambola liboso ya Sanduku. Na mokolo ya sambo, bobaluka zingazinga ya engumba mbala sambo, elongo na Banganga-Nzambe oyo bakozala kobeta bakelelo.
And it shall be [that] when you shall sound with the trumpet, all the people shall shout together.
5 Tango lolaka ya bakelelo yango ekoyokana tango molayi, tika ete bato nyonso baganga makasi; bongo mir ya engumba ekokweya na pwasa, mpe moto na moto akokota na engumba, na esika oyo akozala.
And when they have shouted, the walls of the city shall fall of themselves; and all the people shall enter, each one rushing direct into the city.
6 Boye Jozue, mwana mobali ya Nuni, abengaki Banganga-Nzambe mpe alobaki na bango: — Bomema Sanduku ya Boyokani ya Yawe, mpe tika ete Banganga-Nzambe sambo kati na bino bakamata bakelelo sambo mpe batambola liboso ya Sanduku ya Yawe.
And Joshua the [son] of Naue went in to the priests, and spoke to them, saying,
7 Bongo apesaki mitindo oyo epai ya bana ya Isalaele: — Bokende liboso! Botambola zingazinga ya engumba, mpe tika ete basoda oyo bazalaka na liboso, na etumba, baleka liboso ya Sanduku ya Yawe.
And let seven priests having seven sacred trumpets proceed thus before the Lord, and let them sound loudly; and let the ark of the covenant of the Lord follow.
8 Tango Jozue asilisaki koloba na bato, Banganga-Nzambe sambo, oyo bakamataki bakelelo sambo liboso ya Yawe, balekaki liboso mpe bakomaki kobeta yango, wana Sanduku ya Boyokani ya Yawe ezalaki kolanda bango na sima.
Charge the people to go round, and encompass the city; and let your men of war pass on armed before the Lord.
9 Basoda oyo bazalaka na liboso, na bitumba, bazalaki kotambola liboso ya Banganga-Nzambe oyo bazalaki kobeta bakelelo; bongo basoda oyo batikalaka na sima, bazalaki kolanda Sanduku ya Boyokani. Na tango wana nyonso, bakelelo ezalaki kaka kobeta.
And let the men of war proceed before, and the priests bringing up the rear behind the ark of the covenant of the Lord [proceed] sounding the trumpets.
10 Kasi Jozue apesaki mitindo oyo epai ya bana ya Isalaele: — Boganga te, boloba mpe eloko moko te! Bovanda kaka kimia kino tango nakoloba na bino ete boganga makasi; wana nde bokoganga makasi.
And Joshua commanded the people, saying, Cry not out, nor let any one hear your voice, until he himself declare to you the time to cry out, and then you shall cry out.
11 Boye, Sanduku ya Yawe ezalaki kotambola zingazinga ya engumba mbala moko na mokolo; bongo na sima, bato bazalaki kozonga na molako mpo na kolekisa butu.
And the ark of the covenant of God having gone round immediately returned into the camp, and lodged there.
12 Na tongo-tongo ya mokolo oyo elandaki, Jozue alamukaki, mpe Banganga-Nzambe bamemaki Sanduku ya Yawe.
And on the second day Joshua rose up in the morning, and the priests took up the ark of the covenant of the Lord.
13 Banganga-Nzambe sambo oyo basimbaki bakelelo sambo balekaki liboso, batambolaki liboso ya Sanduku ya Yawe, na kobeta bakelelo. Basoda oyo bazalaka na liboso, na bitumba, balekaki liboso na bango; mpe basoda oyo batikalaka na sima bazalaki kolanda Sanduku ya Yawe, wana bakelelo ezalaki kobeta.
And the seven priests bearing the seven trumpets went on before the Lord; and afterwards the men of war went on, and the remainder of the multitude went after the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and the priests sounded with the trumpets.
14 Na mokolo ya mibale, babalukaki lisusu engumba mbala moko; bongo na sima, bazongaki na molako. Boye, basalaki bongo mikolo motoba.
And all the rest of the multitude compassed the city six times from within a short distance, and went back again into the camp; this they did six days.
15 Na mokolo ya sambo, balamukaki na tongo-tongo mpe babalukaki zingazinga ya engumba mbala sambo, ndenge kaka bazalaki kosala. Ezalaki kaka mokolo wana nde babalukaki mbala sambo zingazinga ya engumba.
And on the seventh day they rose up early, and compassed the city on that day seven times.
16 Na mbala oyo ya sambo, tango Banganga-Nzambe babetaki bakelelo tango molayi, Jozue apesaki mitindo epai ya bato: — Boganga makasi, pamba te Yawe akabi engumba oyo na maboko na bino!
And it came to pass at the seventh circuit the priests blew the trumpets; and Joshua said to the children of Israel, Shout, for the Lord has given you the city.
17 Bobebisa mpo na Yawe engumba oyo nyonso elongo na biloko nyonso oyo ezali kati na yango. Bobikisa kaka Raabi, mwasi ya ndumba, elongo na bato na ye nyonso oyo bakozala kati na ndako na ye, pamba te abombaki banongi oyo totindaki.
And the city shall be devoted, it and all things that are in it, to the Lord of Hosts: only do you save Raab the harlot, and all things in her house.
18 Kasi bosala keba na tina na biloko oyo ekabami mpo na kobebisama, mpo ete bomilukela pasi te na koluka kokamata ata eloko moko kati na yango, noki te bokomema lisuma oyo ekobebisa molako ya Isalaele mpe bokotia yango na mobulu.
But keep yourselves strictly from the accursed thing, lest you set your mind upon and take of the accursed thing, and you make the camp of the children of Israel and accursed thing, and destroy us.
19 Kasi palata, wolo mpe biloko nyonso ya bronze elongo na bibende ekobulisama mpo na Yawe mpe esengeli kokende na ebombelo bomengo ya Yawe.
And all the silver, or gold, or brass, or iron, shall be holy to the Lord; it shall be carried into the treasury of the Lord.
20 Tango babetaki bakelelo, bato bagangaki makasi. Bongo, tango bato bagangaki makasi sima na koyoka lolaka ya kelelo kobeta tango molayi, mir ya engumba ekweyaki na pwasa. Boye, moto nyonso akotaki na engumba, liboso na ye, mpe babotolaki yango.
And the priests sounded with the trumpets: and when the people heard the trumpets, all the people shouted at once with a loud and strong shout; and all the wall fell round about, and all the people went up into the city:
21 Babomaki na mopanga, nyonso oyo ezalaki kati na engumba: mobali to mwasi, elenge to mobange, ngombe to meme to mpe ane.
and Joshua devoted it to destruction, and all things that were in the city, man and woman, young man and old, and calf and ass, with the edge of the sword.
22 Jozue alobaki na bato mibale oyo banongaki Jeriko: — Bokota na ndako ya mwasi ya ndumba, bobimisa ye libanda elongo na bato na ye nyonso, kolanda ndayi oyo bolapaki liboso na ye.
And Joshua said to the two young men who had acted a spies, Go into the house of the woman, and bring her out thence, and all that she has.
23 Boye, bilenge mibali oyo bakendeki kononga mokili bakotaki mpe babimisaki Raabi, tata na ye, mama na ye, bandeko na ye ya mibali mpe biloko na ye nyonso. Babimisaki libota na ye mobimba na libanda mpe batiaki bango libanda ya molako ya Isalaele.
And the two young men who had spied out the city entered into the house of the woman, and brought out Raab the harlot, and her father, and her mother, and her brethren, and her kindred, and all that she had; and they set her without the camp of Israel.
24 Batumbaki engumba mobimba elongo na biloko nyonso oyo ezalaki kati na yango, longola kaka palata mpe wolo, bisalelo nyonso ya bronze mpe ya bibende oyo batiaki na ebombelo bomengo ya Tempelo ya Yawe.
And the city was burnt with fire with all things that were in it; only of the silver, and gold, and brass, and iron, they gave to be brought into the treasury of the Lord.
25 Jozue abikisaki Raabi, mwasi ya ndumba, libota na ye mpe bato na ye nyonso, pamba te abombaki bato oyo Jozue atindaki mpo na kononga Jeriko. Boye, akomaki kovanda kati na bana ya Isalaele kino na mokolo ya lelo.
And Joshua saved alive Raab the harlot, and all the house of her father, and caused her to dwell in Israel until this day, because she hid the spies which Joshua sent to spy out Jericho.
26 Kaka na tango yango, Jozue akataki seleka oyo: « Tika ete moto oyo akoluka kotonga lisusu engumba Jeriko alakelama mabe liboso ya Yawe! Solo, akofuta motuya ya bomoi ya mwana na ye ya liboso ya mobali, tango akotonga miboko na yango; mpe motuya ya bomoi ya mwana na ye ya suka, tango akotia bikuke na yango. »
And Joshua adjured [them] on that day before the Lord, saying, Cursed [be] the man who shall build that city: he shall lay the foundation of it in his firstborn, and he shall set up the gates of it in his youngest son. And so did Hozan of Baethel; he laid the foundation in Abiron his firstborn, and set up the gates of it in his youngest surviving son.
27 Yawe azalaki elongo na Jozue, mpe sango na ye epanzanaki mokili mobimba.
And the Lord was with Joshua, and his name was in all the land.
