1 Ie amy zao, nigabeñe fatratse t’Ie­riko ty amo ana’ Israeleo: leo raike tsy niakatse, ndra raike tsy nimoak’ ao—
Now Jericho was straightly shut up because of the children of Israel: none went out, and none came 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 Joshua, See, I have given into your hand Jericho, and the king thereof, and the mighty men of valor.
3 Hiarikatoha’ areo i rovay; ze hene lahindefoñe ty hiariari’ i rovay indraike. Andro eneñe ty hanoa’o Izay.
And you shall compass the city, all you men of war, and go round about the city once. Thus shall you do 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 seven priests shall bear before the ark seven trumpets of rams’ horns: and the seventh day you shall compass the city seven times, and the priests shall blow with 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 it shall come to pass, 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; and the wall of the city shall fall down flat, and the people shall ascend up every man straight before him.
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.
And 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 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, Pass on, and compass the city, and let him that is armed pass on 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 it came to pass, when Joshua had spoken to the people, that the seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams’ horns passed on before the LORD, and blew with the trumpets: and the ark of the covenant of the LORD followed them.
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 the armed men went before the priests that blew with the trumpets, and the rear guard came after the ark, the priests going on, and blowing with the trumpets.
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.
And Joshua had commanded the people, saying, You shall not shout, nor make any noise with your voice, neither shall any word proceed out of your mouth, until the day I bid you shout; then shall you 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 compassed the city, going about it once: and they came into the camp, and lodged in the camp.
12 Nitroatse marain-tsi-kiake t’Iehosoa vaho rinambe’ o mpisoroñeo i vatam-pañina’ Iehovày.
And Joshua rose early in the morning, and the priests took up 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 priests bearing seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the ark of the LORD went on continually, and blew with the trumpets: and the armed men went before them; but the rear guard came after the ark of the LORD, the priests going on, and blowing with the trumpets.
14 Ie amy andro faharoey le nañariari’ i rovay indraike iereo vaho nimpoly an-tobe ao; nanoe’ iereo andro eneñe izay.
And the second day they compassed the city 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.
And it came to pass on the seventh day, that they rose early about the dawning of the day, and compassed the city after the same manner seven times: only on that day they compassed the city 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 it came to pass at the seventh time, when the priests blew with the trumpets, Joshua said to the people, Shout; for the LORD has given you the city.
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 the city shall be accursed, even it, and all that are therein, to the LORD: only Rahab the harlot shall live, she and all that are with her in the house, because she hid the messengers that 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.
And you, in any wise keep yourselves from the accursed thing, lest you make yourselves accursed, when you take of the accursed thing, and make the camp of Israel a curse, and trouble it.
19 Kila miavake am’ Iehovà i volafotiy, i volamenay vaho o fanake torisìke naho viñeo; ie hazilik’ an-driha’ Iehovà ao.
But all the silver, and gold, and vessels of brass and iron, are consecrated to the LORD: they shall come into the treasury of the LORD.
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 the people shouted when the priests blew with the trumpets: and it came to pass, when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, and the people shouted with a great shout, that the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man straight before 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 they utterly destroyed all that was in the city, both man and woman, young and old, and ox, and sheep, and ass, 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 Joshua had said to the two men that had spied out the country, Go into the harlot’s house, and bring out there the woman, and all that she has, as you swore to her.
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 that were spies went in, and brought out Rahab, and her father, and her mother, and her brothers, and all that she had; and they brought out all her kindred, and left them without the camp of Israel.
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.
And they burnt the city with fire, and all that was therein: only the silver, and the gold, and the vessels of brass and of iron, they put into the treasury of the house 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.
And Joshua saved Rahab the harlot alive, and her father’s household, and all that she had; and she dwells in Israel even to this day; because she hid the messengers, which Joshua sent to spy out Jericho.
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.
And Joshua adjured them at that time, saying, Cursed be the man before the LORD, that rises up and builds this city Jericho: he shall lay the foundation thereof in his firstborn, and in his youngest son shall he set up the gates of it.
27 Aa le nitahie’ Iehovà t’Iehosoa; vaho nanitsike i taney ty enge’e.
So the LORD was with Joshua; and his fame was noised throughout all the country.
