< Josoa 6 >

1 Ie amy zao, nigabeñe fatratse t’Ie­riko ty amo ana’ Israeleo: leo raike tsy niakatse, ndra raike tsy nimoak’ ao—
Now Jericho was close shut up and fenced, for fear of the children of Israel, and no man durst go out or come in.
2 Le hoe t’Iehovà amy Iehosoa: Inao te natoloko am-pità’o t’Ieriko, naho i mpanjaka’ey vaho o fanalolahio.
And the Lord said to Josue: Behold I have given into thy hands Jericho, and the king thereof, and all the valiant men.
3 Hiarikatoha’ areo i rovay; ze hene lahindefoñe ty hiariari’ i rovay indraike. Andro eneñe ty hanoa’o Izay.
Go round about the city, all ye fighting men, once a day: so shall ye do for six days.
4 Hitintiñe tsifan’ añondrilahy fito ty mpisoroñe fito aolo’ i vatam-pañinay; ie ami’ty andro faha-fito le hiaria’ areo im-pito i rovay vaho hampipopò o tsifan’ añondrio i mpisoroñe rey.
And on the seventh day the priests shall take the seven trumpets, which are used in the jubilee, and shall go before the ark of the covenant: and you shall go about the city seven times, and the priests shall sound the trumpets.
5 Ie amy zao, naho tiofe’ iareo ela i tsifan’ añondry rey, naho janji’ areo ty feo’ i antsivay, le sindre hampipoñake ty pazake ondatio naho hikoromake ho pisake ty kijoli’ i rovay vaho songa hiranga an-kahiti’e miaolo mb’eo t’indaty.
And when the voice of the trumpet shall give a longer and broken tune, and shall sound in your ears, all the people shall shout together with a very great shout, and the walls of the city shall fall to the ground, and they shall enter in every one at the place against which they shall stand.
6 Kinanji’ Iehosoa ana’ i None o mpisoroñeo, le hoe ty asa’e tama’e: Ongaho i vatam-pañinay vaho mpisoroñe fito ty hinday tsifan’ añondrilahy fito aolo’ i vatam-pañina’ Iehovày.
Then Josue the son of Nun called the priests, and said to them: Take the ark of the covenant: and let seven other priests take the seven trumpets of the jubilee, and march before the ark of the Lord.
7 Le hoe ty asa’e am’ ondatio: Mionjona mb’eo le arikatoho i rovay vaho ampiaolò o lahin-defoñeo i vatam-pañina’ Iehovày.
And he said to the people: Go, and compass the city, armed, marching before the ark of the Lord.
8 Ie amy zao: nisaontsy am’ ondatio t’Iehosoa, le nionjom-beo i mpisoroñe fito nitañe tsifan’ añondrilahy fito añatrefa’ Iehovà rey, le nitiofe’ iereo o tsifao vaho nanonjohy iareo i vatam-pañina’ Iehovày.
And when Josue had ended his words, and the seven priests blew the seven trumpets before the ark of the covenant of the Lord,
9 Niaolo o mpisoroñe nitiok’ antsivao amy zao ondaty nitam-pialiañeo, le nanonjohy i vatam-pañinay o mpivolio; vaho nitolom-pipopò avao o tsifao.
And all the armed men went before, the rest of the common people followed the ark, and the sound of the trumpets was heard on all sides.
10 Linili’ Iehosoa amy zao ondatio ami’ty hoe: Ko mikoràke, ee te tsy ho janjiñeñe hey ty fiarañanaña’ areo, vaho tsy hiakatse am-palie’ areo ndra saontsy raike ampara’ ty andro koiheko te hipazake; le hene hipozak’ amy zay.
But Josue had commanded the people, saying: You shall not shout, nor shall your voice be heard, nor any word go out of your mouth: until the day come wherein I shall say to you: Cry, and shout.
11 Aa le nampiariarie’e i vatam-pañina’ Iehovày i rovay, indraike t’ie niarikatoheñe naho nibalik’ an-tobe iareo vaho nialeñe an-tobe ao.
So the ark of the Lord went about the city once a day, and returning into the camp, abode there.
12 Nitroatse marain-tsi-kiake t’Iehosoa vaho rinambe’ o mpisoroñeo i vatam-pañina’ Iehovày.
And Josue rising before day, the priests took the ark of the Lord,
13 Aa le nainai’e nimb’eo nampipopò o tsifao i mpisoroñe fito ninday tsifan’ añondry fito añatrefa’ i vatam-pañina’ Iehovày rey; niaolo iareo o lahindefoñeo vaho nanonjohy i vatam-pañina’ Iehovày o nivolio, nainai’e am-pipopòeñe o antsivao.
And seven of them seven trumpets, which are used in the jubilee: and they went before the ark of the Lord walking and sounding the trumpets: and the armed men went before them, and the rest of the common people followed the ark, and they blew the trumpets.
14 Ie amy andro faharoey le nañariari’ i rovay indraike iereo vaho nimpoly an-tobe ao; nanoe’ iereo andro eneñe izay.
And they went round about the city the second day once, and returned into the camp. So they did six days.
15 Ie amy andro faha­fitoy le nitroatse te manjirik’ andro naho narierie’ iareo i rovay vaho nitoloña’ iareo im-pito; amy àndroy avao ty nañariaria’ iareo i rovay im-pito.
But the seventh day, rising up early, they went about the city, as it was ordered, seven times.
16 Aa ie amy faha-fitoy naho nampipopò i tsifa rey o mpisoroñeo le nanao ty hoe am’ ondatio t’Iehosoa: Mipoñafa, fa natolo’ Iehovà ama’ areo i rovay.
And when in the seventh going about the priests sounded with the trumpets, Josue said to all Israel: Shout: for the Lord hath delivered the city to you:
17 Hatokañe amy Iehovà i rovay, ie naho ze kolotoin-draha ama’e ao; i Rakabe karapilo avao ty ho veloñe naho ze mitraok’ ama’e añ’anjomba’e ao amy te naeta’e o ìrake nampihitrifen-tikañeo.
And let this city be an anathema, and all things that are in it, to the Lord. Let only Rahab the harlot live, with all that are with her in the house: for she hid the messengers whom we sent.
18 Ie amy zao ifoneño o raha navìkeo tsy mone mamà-batañe, fa naho rambese’ areo ho fanañañe o raha navikeo, le hafà’ areo ho am-poheke ka ty tobe’ Israele.
But beware ye lest you touch ought of those things that are forbidden, and you be guilty of transgression, and all the camp of Israel be under sin, and be troubled.
19 Kila miavake am’ Iehovà i volafotiy, i volamenay vaho o fanake torisìke naho viñeo; ie hazilik’ an-driha’ Iehovà ao.
But whatsoever gold or silver there shall be, or vessels of brass and iron, let it be consecrated to the Lord, laid up in his treasures.
20 Aa le nampipoñake ty koike ondatio, nitiofeñe o tsifao. Naho nahajanjiñe ty feo’ o tsifao ondatio, le pinaza’ ondatio ty koke, naho nikoromake ho pisake i kijoliy vaho nitoañe mb’ an-drova ao ondatio, sindre gaon-dahy niaolo mb’eo nitavañe i rovay.
So all the people making a shout, and the trumpets sounding, when the voice and the sound thundered in the ears of the multitude, the walls forthwith fell down: and every man went up by the place that was over against him: and they took the city,
21 Ie fonga nandrotsake an-dela-pibara ze tan-drova ao, ndra lahilahy ndra rakemba, o tora’eo naho o beio, o añombeo naho o añondrio vaho o borìkeo.
And killed all that were in it, man and woman, young and old. The oxen also and the sheep, and the asses, they slew with the edge of the sword.
22 Le hoe t’Iehosoa am’ indaty roe nipiapia amy taney rey: Akia mb’ añ’ anjomba’ i kara­piloy vaho akaro i rakembay naho ze hene aze ty amy nifantà’ areo.
But Josue said to the two men that had been sent for spies: Go into the harlot’s house, and bring her out, and all things that are hers, as you assured her by oath.
23 Aa le nimoak’ ao i ajalahy nitampoñe rey naho nakare’ iereo t’i Ra­kabe naho ty rae’e naho i rene’e naho o rahalahi’eo naho ze vara’e iaby; nakare’ iareo ze hene longo’e vaho nampitobèñe alafe’ i tobe’ Israeley.
And the young men went in and brought out Rahab, and her parents, her brethren also and all her goods and her kindred, and made them to stay without the camp.
24 Finorototo’ iereo afo i rovay naho ze he’e ama’e ao; naho tsy ty volafoty, ty volamena naho o fanake torisìke naho viñeo avao ze napò’ iareo am-panontoñam-baran-kiboho’ ­Iehovà ao.
But they burned the city, and all things that were therein; except the gold and silver, and vessels of brass and iron, which they consecrated into the treasury of the Lord.
25 Le rinomba’ Iehosoa veloñe t’i Rakabe karapilo naho o añ’an­jomban-drae’eo vaho o aze iabio; ie mimoneñe añivo’ Israele ao ampara’ te henane; ami’te naeta’e i nampihitrife’ Iehosoa hanampoñe Ieriko rey.
But Josue saved Rahab the harlot and her father’s house, and all she had, and they dwelt in the midst of Israel until this present day: because she hid the messengers whom he had sent to spy out Jericho. At that time, Josue made an imprecation, saying:
26 Aa le nampifantà’ Iehosoa ondatio henane zay ami’ty hoe: Voa-fàtse añatrefa’ Iehovà t’indaty miongake hañamboatse ty rova Ieriko toy; ami’ty fihomahan-tañoloñoloña’e ty hampi­poha’e o manan­ta’eo vaho ami’ty fivetraha’ i tsitso’ey ty hampijadoña’e o lalam-bei’eo.
Cursed be the man before the Lord, that shall raise up and build the city of Jericho. In his firstborn may he lay the foundation thereof, and in the last of his children set up its gates.
27 Aa le nitahie’ Iehovà t’Iehosoa; vaho nanitsike i taney ty enge’e.
And the Lord was with Josue, and his name was noised throughout all the land.
