Yoswa 6
1 Ekibuga Yeriko kyali kigaddwawo ng’enzigi zonna zisibiddwa be gulugulu olw’okutya Abayisirayiri era nga tewali afuluma wadde ayingira.
(And Jericho shutteth itself up, and is shut up, because of the presence of the sons of Israel — none going out, and none coming in; )
2 Mukama n’agamba Yoswa nti, “Laba, Yeriko ne kabaka waakyo n’abasajja baamu bakirimaanyi mbawaddeyo mu mukono gwammwe.
And Jehovah saith unto Joshua, 'See, I have given into thy hand Jericho and its king — mighty ones of valour,
3 Basajja bammwe abalwanyi bonna bajja ku kyetooloolanga omulundi gumu buli lunaku okumala ennaku mukaaga.
and ye have compassed the city — all the men of battle — going round the city once; thus thou dost six days;
4 Bakabona musanvu bajja kwambaliranga amakondeere agaakolebwa mu mayembe g’endiga ennume, nga bakulembedde Essanduuko. Ku lunaku olw’omusanvu balyetooloola ekibuga emirundi musanvu nga bwe bafuuwa amakondeere gaabwe.
and seven priests do bear seven trumpets of the jubilee before the ark, and on the seventh day ye compass the city seven times, and the priests blow with the trumpets,
5 Olunaawulira amakondeere nga gavuga, Abayisirayiri bonna baleekaanire waggulu era amangwago ekisenge kya bbugwe ekyetoolodde kineegonnomola wansi; amangwago Abayisirayiri bonna beefubitike ekibuga.”
and it hath been, in the prolongation of the horn of the jubilee, in your hearing the voice of the trumpet, all the people shout — a great shout, and the wall of the city hath fallen under it, and the people have gone up, each over-against him.'
6 Bw’atyo Yoswa mutabani wa Nuuni n’ayita bakabona n’abagamba nti, “Musitule Essanduuko ey’Endagaano ne bakabona musanvu bakulembere Essanduuko ya Mukama nga bambalidde amakondeere musanvu agaakolebwa mu mayembe g’endiga ennume.”
And Joshua son of Nun calleth unto the priests, and saith unto them, 'Bear ye the ark of the covenant, and seven priests do bear seven trumpets of the jubilee before the ark of Jehovah;'
7 N’alagira Abayisirayiri nti, “Mweyongere mu maaso, mwetooloole ekibuga abalina ebyokulwanyisa nga bakulembeddemu Essanduuko ya Mukama.”
and He said unto the people, 'Pass over, and compass the city, and he who is armed doth pass over before the ark of Jehovah.'
8 Nga Yoswa bwe yabakalaatira, bwe batyo bakabona omusanvu ne bakulemberamu nga bwe bafuuwa amakondeere gaabwe omusanvu ezaakolebwa mu mayembe g’endiga eza sseddume, eno nga Essanduuko ey’Endagaano ya Mukama bw’ebavaako emabega.
And it cometh to pass, when Joshua speaketh unto the people, that the seven priests bearing seven trumpets of the jubilee before Jehovah have passed over and blown with the trumpets, and the ark of the covenant of Jehovah is going after them;
9 Abasajja abambalidde ebyokulwanyisa ne bakulemberamu bakabona ab’amakondeere, olwo eggye ery’emabega ne ligoberera Essanduuko ng’eno amakondeere bwe ganyaanyaagira.
and he who is armed is going before the priests blowing the trumpets, and he who is gathering up is going after the ark, going on and blowing with the trumpets;
10 Awo Yoswa n’alagira Abayisirayiri nti, “Temuleekaana wadde okwogerera waggulu, mutambule kasirise okutuusa ku lunaku olwo lwe ndibalagira.”
and the people hath Joshua commanded, saying, 'Ye do not shout, nor cause your voice to be heard, nor doth there go out from your mouth a word, till the day of my saying unto you, Shout ye — then ye have shouted.'
11 Bw’etyo Essanduuko ya Mukama ne yeetooloozebwa ekibuga omulundi gumu olunaku olwo, ne beddirayo mu lusiisira lwabwe ne beebaka.
And the ark of Jehovah doth compass the city, going round once, and they come into the camp, and lodge in the camp.
12 Yoswa n’akeera nnyo mu makya, ne bakabona ne basitula Essanduuko ya Mukama,
And Joshua riseth early in the morning, and the priests bear the ark of Jehovah,
13 ne bakabona omusanvu abafuuyi b’amakondeere ne batambula, abalwanyi nga babakulembedde, eggye ery’emabega lyo nga ligoberera Essanduuko ya Mukama, eno amakondeere nga bwe gafuuyibwa.
and seven priests bearing seven trumpets of the jubilee before the ark of Jehovah are walking, going on, and they have blown with the trumpets — and he who is armed is going before them, and he who is gathering up is going behind the ark of Jehovah — going on and blowing with the trumpets.
14 Ku lunaku olwokubiri ne beetooloola ekibuga omulundi gumu, ne baddayo mu lusiisira. Ne bakola bwe batyo okumala ennaku mukaaga.
And they compass the city on the second day once, and turn back to the camp; thus they have done six days.
15 Ku lunaku olw’omusanvu baakeera mu matulutulu ne beetooloola ekibuga nga bulijjo, kyokka olwo lwe lwali olunaku lwokka lwe baakyetooloola emirundi omusanvu.
And it cometh to pass, on the seventh day, that they rise early, at the ascending of the dawn, and compass the city, according to this manner, seven times; (only, on that day they have compassed the city seven times);
16 Ku mulundi ogw’omusanvu nga bakabona bamaze okufuuwa amakondeere, Yoswa n’alagira abantu nti, “Muleekaane kubanga Mukama abawadde ekibuga.
and it cometh to pass, at the seventh time, the priests have blown with the trumpets, and Joshua saith unto the people, 'Shout ye, for Jehovah hath given to you the city;
17 Era ekibuga n’ebintu byamu byonna bya kuweebwayo eri Mukama bizikirizibwe okuggyako Lakabu yekka malaaya, oyo n’abantu be baanaabeera nabo mu nju ye. Kubanga yakweka abakessi baffe be twasindikayo.
and the city hath been devoted, it and all that [is] in it, to Jehovah; only Rahab the harlot doth live, she and all who [are] with her in the house, for she hid the messengers whom we sent;
18 Naye mmwe mwekuume ebyo ebiweereddwayo eri Mukama okuzikirizibwa muleme kubitwala kubanga kiyinza okuleetera Abayisirayiri bonna ekikolimo n’okuzikirira.
and surely ye have kept from the devoted thing, lest ye devote [yourselves], and have taken from the devoted thing, and have made the camp of Israel become a devoted thing, and have troubled it;
19 Kyokka ffeeza ne zaabu n’ebintu byonna eby’ekikomo n’eby’ekyuma bitukuvu eri Mukama era byakutereka mu ggwanika lya Mukama.”
and all the silver and gold, and vessels of brass and iron, holy they [are] to Jehovah; into the treasury of Jehovah they come.'
20 Awo Abayisirayiri ne baleekaana nnyo, amakondeere bwe gaavuga. Amangu ennyo ng’amakondeere gakavuga Abayisirayiri ne boogera n’eddoboozi ery’omwanguka, era ekisenge kya bbugwe ekyebunguludde ekibuga Yeriko ne kyegonnomola wansi. Awo ne bayingira ne bakiwamba.
And the people shout, and blow with the trumpets, and it cometh to pass when the people hear the voice of the trumpet, that the people shout — a great shout, and the wall falleth under it, and the people goeth up into the city, each over-against him, and they capture the city;
21 Ne bazikiriza byonna ebyakirimu, abasajja n’abakazi, n’abaana abato, n’ente, n’endiga, n’endogoyi ne byonna ne babizikiriza n’ekitala.
and they devote all that [is] in the city, from man even unto woman, from young even unto aged, even unto ox, and sheep, and ass, by the mouth of the sword.
22 Awo Yoswa n’agamba abasajja ababiri abaatumibwa okuketta ensi eri nti, “Mugende muleete malaaya oli n’abantu be bonna baali nabo nga bwe mwamusuubiza.”
And to the two men who are spying the land Joshua said, 'Go into the house of the woman, the harlot, and bring out thence the woman, and all whom she hath, as ye have sworn to her.'
23 Bwe batyo abavubuka abo abakessi ne bagenda ne bakola nga bwe baalagirwa, ne baleeta Lakabu malaaya, ne kitaawe, ne nnyina, ne bannyina n’abantu be bonna be yali nabo, ne babateeka ebweru w’olusiisira lw’Abayisirayiri.
And the young man, the spies, go in and bring out Rahab, and her father, and her mother, and her brethren, and all whom she hath; yea, all her families they have brought out, and place them at the outside of the camp of Israel.
24 Awo ne balyoka bookya ekibuga ne bazikiriza byonna ebyakirimu okuggyako ffeeza, zaabu n’ebintu eby’ekikomo n’eby’ekyuma bye baggyamu ne babitereka mu ggwanika ly’omu nnyumba ya Mukama.
And the city they have burnt with fire, and all that [is] in it; only, the silver and the gold, and the vessels of brass, and of iron, they have given [to] the treasury of the house of Jehovah;
25 Yoswa n’alekawo Lakabu malaaya n’ab’ennyumba ye era Lakabu n’abeera mu Isirayiri n’okutuusa kaakano kubanga yakweka abakessi Yoswa be yatuma okuketta ekibuga Yeriko.
and Rahab the harlot, and the house of her father, and all whom she hath, hath Joshua kept alive; and she dwelleth in the midst of Israel unto this day, for she hid the messengers whom Joshua sent to spy out Jericho.
26 Yoswa n’alayira nti, “Akolimirwe mu maaso ga Mukama omuntu yenna alyaŋŋanga nate okuzimba ekibuga kino Yeriko. Bw’alyaŋŋanga okuzimba omusingi gwakyo alifiirwa omwana we omubereberye. Ate era bw’alyaŋŋanga okuwangamu enzigi z’emiryango gyakyo, alifiirwa omwana we asembayo owoobulenzi.”
And Joshua adjureth [them] at that time, saying, 'Cursed [is] the man before Jehovah who raiseth up and hath built this city, [even] Jericho; in his first-born he doth lay its foundation, and in his youngest he doth set up its doors;'
27 Bw’atyo Mukama n’abeera ne Yoswa, era ettutumu lya Yoswa ne libuna ensi eyo yonna.
and Jehovah is with Joshua, and his fame is in all the land.
