Yoswa 2
1 Awo Yoswa mutabani wa Nuuni n’atuma abasajja babiri okuva e Sittimu bagende mu kyama bakette, n’abagamba nti, “Mugende mwekkaanye ensi eyo na ddala ekibuga Yeriko.” Bwe batyo ne bagenda. Bwe baatuukayo ne bayingira mu nnyumba y’omukazi malaaya ayitibwa Lakabu ne basula omwo.
Therfor Josue, the sone of Nun, sente fro Sethym twei men, aspieris in hiddlis, and seide to hem, Go ye, and biholde ye the lond, and the citee of Jerico. Whiche yeden, and entriden into the hous of a womman hoore, `Raab bi name, and restiden at hir.
2 Naye kabaka wa Yeriko n’akitegeera nti waliwo abasajja Abayisirayiri abazze ekiro okuketta ensi ye.
And it was teld, `and seid to the kyng of Jerico, Lo! men of the sones of Israel entriden hidir bi nyyt, to aspie the lond.
3 Bw’atyo kabaka oyo n’atumya ewa Lakabu nti, “Mu nju yo mulimu abasajja abazze okuketta ensi yange, bampeereze mangu.”
Therfor the kyng of Jerico sente to Raab the hoore, and seide, Brynge out the men, that camen to thee, and entriden in to thin hous; for thei ben aspieris, and thei camen to biholde al the lond.
4 Lakabu abasajja bano yali yamaze dda okubakweka, naye n’alyoka agamba nti, “Kituufu abasajja abo baabaddeko wano naye saategedde gye baabadde bava.
And the womman took the men, and hidde hem, and seide, Y knowleche, thei camen to me, but Y wiste not of whenus thei weren;
5 Oluggi lw’ekibuga bwe lwabadde lunaatera okuggalwawo akawungeezi, ne bafuluma, saategedde gye baalaze; naye mubawondere osanga munaabagwikiriza.”
and whanne the yate was closid in derknessis, and thei yeden out to gidire, Y noot whidur thei yeden; pursue ye soone, and ye schulen take hem.
6 So nno yali yabakwese dda ku nju waggulu era nga ababisseeko bulungi ebikolokomba by’obugoogwa.
Forsothe sche made the men to stie in to the soler of hir hows, and hilide hem with stobil of flex, that was there.
7 Basajja ba kabaka ne bafuluma ekibuga ne wankaaki waakyo naggalwawo. Ne banoonya abakessi okutuukira ddala ku mugga Yoludaani.
Sotheli thei, that weren sent, sueden hem bi the weie that ledith to the fordis of Jordan; and whanne thei weren goon out, anoon the yate was closid.
8 Abakessi bwe baali tebanneebaka, Lakabu n’ayambuka gye baali ku nju waggulu
Thei that weren hid, slepten not yit, and lo! the womman stiede to hem, and seide,
9 n’abagamba nti, “Nkimanyi nga Mukama abawadde ensi eno era nga ffenna tubatidde nnyo, tuweddemu n’omwoyo.
Y knowe that the Lord hath bitake to you this lond; for youre feerdfulnesse felde in to vs, and alle the dwelleris of the lond `weren sike.
10 Twawulira Mukama bwe yakaliza ennyanja emyufu nga muva e Misiri era twawulira bwe mwazikiriza Sikoni ne Ogi bakabaka b’Abamoli emitala w’omugga Yoludaani.
We herden, that the Lord driede the watris of the Reed See at youre entryng, whanne ye yeden out of Egipt; and what thingis ye diden to twei kyngis of Ammorreis, that weren biyende Jordan, to Seon and Og, whiche ye killiden;
11 Amangwago nga twakakiwulira emitima gyatutyemuka, era teri n’omu ku ffe yasigalamu ndasi, kubanga Mukama Katonda wammwe ye Katonda w’omu ggulu ne mu nsi.”
and we herden these thingis, and we dredden, and oure herte `was sike, and spirit dwellide not in vs at youre entryng; for youre Lord God hym silf is God in heuene aboue, and in erthe bynethe.
12 N’abagamba nti, “Nga nange bwe mbakoledde ebyekisa, mbasaba nammwe munkolere bwe mutyo nga mulayira mu linnya lya Mukama era mumpe n’obukakafu
Now therfor swere ye to me bi the Lord God, that as Y dide merci with you, so and ye do with the hows of my fadir; and yyue ye to me a veri signe,
13 nga mulitutaliza; nze, ne kitange, ne mmange, ne baganda bange, ne bannyinaze awamu n’abo bonna be babeera nabo.”
that ye saue my fadir and modir, and my britheren and sistris, and alle thingis that ben herne, and dilyuere oure lyues fro deeth.
14 Abasajja abo ne baddamu nti, “Bw’otolituloopa, naffe tulibawonya Mukama ng’atuwadde ensi eno; era Mukama atuzikirize bwe tutalikola bwe tutyo.”
Whiche answeriden to hir, Oure lijf be for you in to deeth, if netheles thou bitraiest not vs; and whanne the Lord hath bitake to vs the lond, we schulen do mercy and treuthe in thee.
15 Olw’okubanga ennyumba ya Lakabu yazimbwa ku bbugwe w’ekibuga, bw’atyo n’abasizza ku muguwa ng’abayisa mu ddirisa.
Therfor sche let hem doun fro the wyndow bi a corde; for hir hows cleuyde to the wal.
16 Yabagamba nti, “Mugende mwekwekere ennaku ssatu eyo mu nsozi okutuusa ng’ababawenja bamaze okudda, oluvannyuma muyinza okwetambulira amakubo gammwe.”
And sche seide to hem, Stie ye to the hilli places, lest perauenture men turnynge ayen meete you; and be ye hidde there three daies, til thei comen ayen; and so ye schulen go bi youre weie.
17 Ne bamugamba nti, “Tujja kukuuma butiribiri ekirayiro kyaffe
Whiche seiden to hir, We schulen be giltles of this ooth, bi which thou hast chargid vs,
18 era bwe tulitabaala ensi yammwe, osibanga omuguwa guno omumyufu mu ddirisa mwe watuyisa era okuŋŋaanyizanga mu nnyumba yo, kitaawo, ne nnyoko, bannyoko n’ab’omu nnyumba ya kitaawo bonna.
if, whanne we entren in to the lond, this reed corde is not a signe, and thou byndist it not in the wyndow, bi which thou lettist vs doun; and thou gaderist not in to thi hows thi fadir and modir, and britheren, and al thi kynrede; the blood of hym schal be on his heed,
19 Gwe kalitanda n’afuluma mu nju yo n’atambulatambula mu nguudo, ekirimutuukako kyonna y’alimanya. Kyokka alituukibwako akabi konna mu nju yo, ogwo guliba musango gwaffe.
that goith out at the dore of thin hows, and we schulen be alien, that is, giltles; forsothe the blood of alle men that ben in the hows with thee, schal turne in to oure heed, if ony man touchith hem.
20 Naye k’olituloopa, olwo oliba omenye endagaano yaffe naawe.”
`That if thou wolt betraie vs, and brynge forth in to the myddis this word, we schulen be cleene of this ooth, bi which thou hast chargid vs.
21 Lakabu y’abaddamu n’abagamba nti, “Byonna bibeere nga bwe tukkaanyizza.” Bwe yamala okubasiibula n’asiba akawero akamyufu mu ddirisa.
And sche answeride, As ye han spoke, so be it doon. And sche lefte hem, that thei schulden go, and sche hangide a reed corde in her wyndow.
22 Abakessi bwe baamala okwekwekera ennaku ssatu mu nsozi nga n’ababanoonya bababuliddwa,
Sotheli thei yeden, and camen to the hilli places, and dwelliden there three daies, til thei turneden ayen that pursueden; for thei souyten bi ech weie, and founden not hem.
23 ne beddirayo eri Yoswa mutabani wa Nuuni ne bamuyitiramu mu byonna nga bwe byagenda.
And whanne the sekeris entriden in to the citee, the spieris turneden ayen, and camen doun fro the hille; and whanne thei hadde passid Jordan, thei camen to Josue, the sone of Nun;
24 Ne bamugamba nti, “Ddala ensi eyo Mukama agituwadde, abantu baamu bonna tubakubye encukwe.”
and thei telden to hym alle thingis that bifelden to hem, and seiden, The Lord hath bitake al the lond in to oure hondis, and alle the dwelleris thereof ben casten doun bi drede.
