Josoa 6
1 Ary nihidy mafy Jeriko tamin’ izany noho ny Zanak’ Isiraely: tsy nisy nivoaka, ary tsy nisy niditra.
Now Jericho was tightly shut up because of the children of Israel. No one went out, and no one came in.
2 Ary hoy Jehovah tamin’ i Josoa: Indro, efa natolotro eo an-tananao Jeriko sy ny mpanjakany mbamin’ ny lehilahy mahery.
The LORD said to Joshua, “Behold, I have given Jericho into your hand, with its king and the mighty men of valour.
3 Koa mandehana manodidina ny tanàna indray mandeha ianareo mpanafika rehetra; henemana no hanaovanao izany.
All of your men of war shall march around the city, going around the city once. You shall do this six days.
4 Ary asio mpisorona fito mitondra anjomara fito mafy faneno eo alohan’ ny fiara; ary amin’ ny andro fahafito dia hodidino impito ny tanàna, ary aoka ny mpisorona hitsoka ny anjomara.
Seven priests shall bear seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the ark. On the seventh day, you shall march around the city seven times, and the priests shall blow the trumpets.
5 Ary raha manao feo lavareny ny anjomara mafy faneno, ka renareo ny feon’ ny anjomara, dia hanakora mafy ny vahoaka rehetra; ka dia hirodana amin’ izay ny màndan’ ny tanàna, ary hiakatra samy hizotra amin’ izay hitsiny avy ny olona.
It shall be that when they make a long blast with the ram’s horn, and when you hear the sound of the trumpet, all the people shall shout with a great shout; then the city wall will fall down flat, and the people shall go up, every man straight in front of him.”
6 Dia niantso ny mpisorona Josoa, zanak’ i Nona, ka nanao taminy hoe: Ento ny fiaran’ ny fanekena, ary asio mpisorona fito mitondra anjomara fito mafy faneno eo alohan’ ny fiaran’ i Jehovah.
Joshua the son of Nun called the priests, and said to them, “Take up the ark of the covenant, and let seven priests bear seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the LORD’s ark.”
7 Dia hoy izy tamin’ ny vahoaka: Mandehana, ka manodidina ny tanàna, ary aoka ny olona efa voaomana hiady handeha eo alohan’ ny fiaran’ i Jehovah.
They said to the people, “Advance! March around the city, and let the armed men pass on before the LORD’s ark.”
8 Ary rehefa niteny tamin’ ny vahoaka Josoa, dia nandeha ireo mpisorona fito nitondra ny anjomara fito mafy faneno teo alohan’ i Jehovah ka nitsoka ny anjomara; ary ny fiaran’ ny faneken’ i Jehovah nanaraka azy.
It was so, that when Joshua had spoken to the people, the seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the LORD advanced and blew the trumpets, and the ark of the LORD’s covenant followed them.
9 Ary ny olona efa voaomana hiady dia nandeha teo alohan’ ny mpisorona izay nitsoka ny anjomara, ary ny vodi-lalana nanaraka ny fiara; ary notsofina teny am-pandehanana ny anjomara.
The armed men went before the priests who blew the trumpets, and the ark went after them. The trumpets sounded as they went.
10 Ary ny vahoaka efa noraran’ i Josoa hoe: Aza manakora na mamoaka feo na miloa-bava akory aza mandra-pahatongan’ ny andro hanaovako aminareo hoe: Manakorà! dia vao amin’ izay ianareo no hanakora.
Joshua commanded the people, saying, “You shall not shout nor let your voice be heard, neither shall any word proceed out of your mouth until the day I tell you to shout. Then you shall shout.”
11 Ary nanodidina ny tanàna indray mandeha ny fiaran’ i Jehovah; dia nankany an-toby ny olona ka nitoetra tany.
So he caused the LORD’s ark to go around the city, circling it once. Then they came into the camp, and stayed in the camp.
12 Dia nifoha maraina koa Josoa, ary ny mpisorona nitondra ny fiaran’ i Jehovah.
Joshua rose early in the morning, and the priests took up the LORD’s ark.
13 Ary ny mpisorona fito izay nitondra ny anjomara fito mafy faneno teo alohan’ ny fiaran’ i Jehovah dia nandeha mandrakariva ka nitsoka ny anjomara; ary ny olona efa voaomana hiady dia nandeha teo alohany; ary ny vodi-lalana kosa dia nanaraka ny fiaran’ i Jehovah; ary notsofina teny am-pandehanana ny anjomara.
The seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams’ horns in front of the LORD’s ark went on continually, and blew the trumpets. The armed men went in front of them. The rear guard came after the LORD’s ark. The trumpets sounded as they went.
14 Dia nanodidina ny tanàna indray mandeha koa izy tamin’ ny andro faharoa ka niverina tany an-toby; henemana no nanaovany toy izany.
The second day they marched around the city once, and returned into the camp. They did this six days.
15 Ary tamin’ ny andro fahafito dia nifoha maraina koa izy, raha mbola nazava ratsy ny andro ka nanodidina ny tanàna impito toy ny nataony teo, nefa tamin’ izany andro izany ihany no nanodidina ny tanàna impito izy.
On the seventh day, they rose early at the dawning of the day, and marched around the city in the same way seven times. On this day only they marched around the city seven times.
16 Ary tamin’ ny nandehanany fanimpitony, raha nitsoka ny anjomara ny mpisorona, dia hoy Josoa tamin’ ny vahoaka: Manakorà! fa efa nomen’ i Jehovah anareo ny tanàna.
At the seventh time, when the priests blew the trumpets, Joshua said to the people, “Shout, for the LORD has given you the city!
17 Dia hatolotra ho an’ i Jehovah ho zavatra voaozona ny tanàna sy izay rehetra ao; fa Rahaba janga ihany no hovelomina, dia izy sy izay rehetra ao aminy ao an-trano, satria nanafina ny iratsika izy.
The city shall be devoted, even it and all that is in it, to the LORD. Only Rahab the prostitute shall live, she and all who are with her in the house, because she hid the messengers that we sent.
18 Kanefa mitandrema kosa ianareo ny amin’ ny zavatra voaozona, fandrao manolotra zavatra ho voaozona ianareo, nefa maka amin’ ny zavatra voaozona kosa, ka mahatonga ny tobin’ ny Isiraely ho voaozona ary mampidi-doza aminy.
But as for you, only keep yourselves from what is devoted to destruction, lest when you have devoted it, you take of the devoted thing; so you would make the camp of Israel accursed and trouble it.
19 Fa ny volafotsy sy ny volamena rehetra ary ny fanaka varahina sy vy dia masìna ho an’ i Jehovah; hatao ao amin’ ny rakitr’ i Jehovah izany.
But all the silver, gold, and vessels of bronze and iron are holy to the LORD. They shall come into the LORD’s treasury.”
20 Dia nanakora ny olona, ary notsofina ny anjomara; ary nony ren’ ny vahoaka ny feon’ ny anjomara, dia nanakora mafy izy, ka nirodana tamin’ izay ny manda, ary niakatra tao an-tanàna samy nizotra tamin’ izay hitsiny avy ny olona, ka afaka ny tanàna.
So the people shouted and the priests blew the trumpets. When the people heard the sound of the trumpet, the people shouted with a great shout, and the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man straight in front of him, and they took the city.
21 Ary naringany tamin’ ny lelan-tsabatra izay rehetra tao an-tanana, na lehilahy na vehivavy, na tanora na antitra, na omby, na ondry aman’ osy, na boriky.
They utterly destroyed all that was in the city, both man and woman, both young and old, and ox, sheep, and donkey, with the edge of the sword.
22 Ary izy roa lahy izay efa nisafo ny tany dia efa nilazan’ i Josoa hoe: Mankanesa ao amin’ ny tranon’ ilay vehivavy janga, ka ento mivoaka ravehivavy sy ny havany rehetra ary izay mety ho azy, araka izay nianiananareo taminy.
Joshua said to the two men who had spied out the land, “Go into the prostitute’s house, and bring the woman and all that she has out from there, as you swore to her.”
23 Dia nankao ireo zatovo nisafo ireo ka nitondra an-dRahaba nivoaka sy ny rainy aman-dreniny sy ny anadahiny ary ny havany rehetra mbamin’ izay nety ho azy; dia nitondra ny mpianakaviny rehetra nivoaka izy ka nametraka azy teo ivelan’ ny tobin’ ny Isiraely.
The young men who were spies went in, and brought out Rahab with her father, her mother, her brothers, and all that she had. They also brought out all of her relatives, and they set them outside of the camp of Israel.
24 Ary ny tanàna sy izay rehetra tao dia nodorany tamin’ ny afo, nefa ny volafotsy sy ny volamena ary ny fanaka varahina sy vy dia nataony tao amin’ ny rakitry ny tranon’ i Jehovah.
They burnt the city with fire, and all that was in it. Only they put the silver, the gold, and the vessels of bronze and of iron into the treasury of the LORD’s house.
25 Fa Rahaba janga sy ny ankohonan’ ny rainy sy ny havany rehetra mbamin’ izay nety ho azy dia novelomin’ i Josoa, ary mitoetra eo amin’ ny Isiraely mandraka androany ravehivavy, satria nanafina ny iraka izay efa nirahin’ i Josoa hisafo an’ i Jeriko izy.
But Rahab the prostitute, her father’s household, and all that she had, Joshua saved alive. She lives in the middle of Israel to this day, because she hid the messengers whom Joshua sent to spy out Jericho.
26 Dia nilaza fanozonana Josoa tamin’ izany andro izany ka nanao hoe: Ho voaozona eo anatrehan’ i Jehovah izay olona mitsangana manorina ity tanàna Jeriko ity indray; ny ain’ ny lahimatoany no ho sazin’ ny hanorenany ny fanambaniny, ary ny ain’ ny faralahiny no ho sazin’ ny hananganany ny vavahadiny.
Joshua commanded them with an oath at that time, saying, “Cursed is the man before the LORD who rises up and builds this city Jericho. With the loss of his firstborn he will lay its foundation, and with the loss of his youngest son he will set up its gates.”
27 Ary Jehovah nomba an’ i Josoa, ka niely tamin’ ny tany rehetra ny lazany.
So the LORD was with Joshua; and his fame was in all the land.
