Josoa 2

1 Ary Josoa, zanak’ i Nona, dia naniraka mpisafo roa lahy mangingina avy tany Sitima ka niteny taminy hoe: Mandehana, izahao ny tany, indrindra fa Jeriko. Dia niainga izy roa lahy ary niditra tao an-tranon’ ny vehivavy janga anankiray atao hoe Rahaba, ka nandry tao.

And he sent Joshua [the] son of Nun from Shittim two men spies secretly saying go see the land and Jericho and they went and they went [the] house of a woman a prostitute and name her [was] Rahab and they lay down there.

2 Ary nisy nilaza tamin’ ny mpanjakan’ i Jeriko hoe: Injao, misy olona avy tamin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely tonga atỳ izao alina izao hisafo ny tany.

And it was told to [the] king of Jericho saying here! men they have come hither this night from [the] people of Israel to spy out the land.

3 Dia naniraka tao amin’ i Rahaba ny mpanjakan’ i Jeriko ka nanao hoe: Avoahy ireo lehilahy tonga ato an-tranonao ireo; fa hisafo ny tany no nihaviany.

And he sent [the] king of Jericho to Rahab saying bring out the men who came to you who they came to house your for to spy out all the land they have come.

4 Dia nalain-dravehivavy izy roa lahy ka nafeniny ary hoy izy: Tonga tatỳ amiko ihany tokoa ireny lehilahy ireny, nefa tsy fantatro izay nihaviany;

And she took the woman [the] two the men and she hid him and she said - right they came to me the men and not I knew from where [were] they.

5 ary rehefa maizina ny andro, ka hohidiana ny vavahady, dia lasa nivoaka izy, ka tsy fantatro indray izay nalehany; enjeho faingana izy, fa ho tratranareo.

And it was the gate [about] to shut at darkness and the men they went out not I know where? did they go the men pursue quickly after them for you will overtake them.

6 Kanjo efa nampiakarin-dravehivavy any an-tampon-trano izy ka nafeniny ao amin’ ny tahon-drongony, izay efa nalahany teo amin’ ny tampon-trano.

And she she had taken up them the roof towards and she had hidden them among [the] flax of the tree that had been arranged by her on the roof.

7 Ary ireo olona dia nanenjika azy tamin’ ny lalana mankany Jordana hatrany amin’ ny fitàna; ary rehefa lasa nivoaka izay nanenjika azy, dia nohidiana ny vavahady.

And the men they pursued after them [the] road of the Jordan to the fords and the gate people closed after just when they had gone out the pursuers after them.

8 Ary raha mbola tsy natory izy roa lahy, dia niakatra nankao aminy tao an-tampontrano ravehivavy

And they not yet they had lain down! and she she went up to them on the roof.

9 ka nanao taminy hoe: Fantatro fa efa nomen’ i Jehovah anareo ny tany, ary efa latsaka aminay ny fahatahorana anareo, sady efa ketraka ny mponina rehetra amin’ ny tany noho ny tahotra anareo.

And she said to the men I know that he has given Yahweh to you the land and that it has fallen dread your on us and that they have melted away all [the] inhabitants of the land because of you.

10 Fa efa renay ny nanamainan’ i Jehovah ny Ranomasina Mena teo anoloanareo tamin’ ny nivoahanareo avy tany Egypta, sy izay nataonareo tamin’ ny mpanjaka roa tamin’ ny Amorita, izay tany an-dafin’ i Jordana, dia Sihona sy Oga, izay novonoinareo.

For we have heard this: he dried up Yahweh [the] waters of [the] sea of reed[s] from before you when came out you from Egypt and [that] which you did to [the] two [the] kings of the Amorite[s] who [was] on [the] other side of the Jordan to Sihon and to Og whom you totally destroyed them.

11 Koa nony efa renay izany, dia ketraka ny fonay, ka very hevitra avokoa izahay noho ny aminareo; fa Jehovah Andriamanitrareo, Izy no Andriamanitra any amin’ ny lanitra ambony sy etỳ amin’ ny tany ambany.

And we heard and it melted heart our and not it arose again spirit in anyone because of you for Yahweh God your he [is] God in the heavens above and on the earth beneath.

12 Koa ankehitriny, masìna ianareo, mba ianiano amin’ i Jehovah aho fa araka ny namindrako fo taminareo no mba hamindranareo fo amin’ ny ankohonan’ ny raiko kosa, ka omeo famantarana mahatoky aho

And therefore swear please to me by Yahweh for I have done with you loyalty and you will do also you with [the] household of father my loyalty and you will give to me a sign of faithfulness.

13 fa hovelominareo ny raiko sy ny reniko sy ny anadahiko sy ny rahavaviko ary izay rehetra mety ho azy; dia hamonjy ny ainay tsy ho faty ianareo.

And you will let live father my and mother my and brothers my and (sisters my *Q(K)*) and all who [belong] to them and you will deliver lives our from death.

14 Dia hoy izy roa lahy taminy: Ny ainay no ho faty hisolo anareo, raha tsy holazainareo izao raharahanay izao; ary raha omen’ i Jehovah anay ny tany, dia hamindra fo sy hanao izay marina aminao izahay.

And they said to her the men life our for you to die if not you will tell business our this and it will be when gives Yahweh to us the land and we will do with you loyalty and faithfulness.

15 Dia nampidina azy tamin’ ny mahazaka avy teo amin’ ny varavarankely izy; fa teo amin’ ny màndan’ ny tanàna ny tranony, ary teo amin’ ny manda no nitoerany.

And she let down them with rope through the window for house her [was] in [the] wall of the city wall and in the city wall she [was] dwelling.

16 Dia hoy izy taminy: Mandehana any an-tendrombohitra, fandrao hifanena aminareo ny mpanenjika, ka miere any hateloana mandra-piveriny; ary rehefa afaka izany, dia vao mandehana any amin’ izay halehanareo.

And she said to them the hill country towards go lest they should meet you the pursuers and you will hide yourselves there three days until return the pursuers and after you will go to way your.

17 Ary hoy izy roa lahy taminy: Izao no tsy hanananay tsiny ny amin’ izany fianianana nampianianinao anay izany:

And they said to her the men [will be] free we from oath your this which you made swear us.

18 Indro, rehefa tonga eto amin’ ny tany izahay, dia hafehinao eo amin’ ny varavarankely izay nampidinanao anay io kofehy jaky io; ary ny rainao sy ny reninao sy ny anadahinao mbamin’ ny ankohonan’ ny rainao rehetra dia hovorinao ho ao an-tranonao;

Here! we [are] about to come in the land [the] cord of [the] thread of the scarlet this you will bind in the window which you let down us in it and father your and mother your and brothers your and all [the] household of father your you will gather to you the house towards.

19 ary izay rehetra mivoaka eo am-baravaran’ ny tranonao ho eny ivelany, dia ho eo an-dohany ihany ny ràny, ary izahay tsy hanan-tsiny; fa izay rehetra mitoetra ao aminao ao an-trano, dia ho eo an-dohanay kosa ny ràny, raha tàhiny misy olona maninona azy akory;

And it will be every [one] who he will go out from [the] doors of house your - the outside towards blood his [will be] on own head his and we [will be] free and every [one] who he will be with you in the house blood his [will be] on head our if a hand it will be on him.

20 fa raha tàhiny hambarambaranao izao raharahanay izao, dia ho afaka amin’ ny fianianana izay nampianianinao anay izahay.

And if you will tell business our this and we will be free from oath your which you made swear us.

21 Dia hoy ravehivavy: Eny ary, fa marina izany. Dia nampandehaniny izy roa lahy, ka lasa izy; ary nafehiny teo amin’ ny varavarankely ilay kofehy jaky.

And she said according to words your [be] so it and she sent off them and they went and she bound [the] cord of the scarlet in the window.

22 Dia nandeha izy roa lahy ka nankany an-tendrombohitra ary nitoetra tany hateloana mandra-piverin’ ny mpanenjika; ary nitady azy tamin’ ny lalana rehetra ny mpanenjika, nefa tsy nahita.

And they went and they came the hill country towards and they remained there three days until they returned the pursuers and they searched the pursuers in all the way and not they found [them].

23 Dia niverina izy roa lahy ka nidina avy tany an-tendrombohitra, dia nita ny ony ary nankany amin’ i Josoa, zanak’ i Nona, ka nilaza ny zavatra rehetra izay efa nihatra taminy,

And they returned [the] two the men and they went down from the hill country and they passed over and they came to Joshua [the] son of Nun and they recounted to him all the [things that] had found with them.

24 ka hoy izy tamin’ i Josoa: Efa natolotr’ i Jehovah eo an-tanantsika tokoa ny tany rehetra; ary efa ketraka ny mponina rehetra amin’ ny tany noho ny tahotra antsika.

And they said to Joshua that he has given Yahweh in hand our all the land and also they have melted away all [the] inhabitants of the land because of us.
