Iyyaasuu 2

1 Ergasii Iyyaasuun ilmi Nuuni, “Dhaqaatii biyya sana, keessumattuu Yerikoo basaasaa” jedhee dhoksaan basaastota lama biyya Shixiimiitii erge. Isaanis deemanii mana sagaagaltittii Rahaab jedhamtu tokkoo seenanii achuma turan.

Then Ioshua the sonne of Nun sent out of Shittim two men to spie secretly, saying, Go, view the land, and also Iericho: and they went, and came into an harlots house, named Rahab, and lodged there.

2 Mooticha Yerikoottis, “Kunoo! Israaʼeloota keessaa namoonni tokko tokko biyyattii basaasuuf galgala kana as dhufaniiru” jedhamee himame.

Then report was made to the King of Iericho, saying, Beholde, there came men hither to night, of the children of Israel, to spie out the countrey.

3 Kanaafuu mootichi Yerikoo, “Sababii isaan guutummaa biyyattii basaasuuf dhufaniif namoota gara kee dhufanii mana kee seenan sana gad baasi” jedhee dhaamsa kana Rahaabitti erge.

And the King of Iericho sent vnto Rahab, saying, Bring foorth the men that are come to thee, and which are entred into thine house: for they be come to search out all the land.

4 Dubartittiin garuu namoota lamaan fuutee dhoksite. Isheenis akkana jette; “Dhuguma namoonni gara koo dhufaniiru; ani garuu akka isaan eessaa dhufan hin beekne.

(But ye woman had taken the two men, and hid them) Therefore saide she thus, There came men vnto me, but I wist not whence they were.

5 Isaanis galgala yommuu yeroon karri magaalattii cufamu gaʼetti baʼanii deeman. Karaa isaan deemanis ani hin beeku. Isaan qaqqabdu taʼaatii dafaa isaan duukaa buʼaa.”

And when they shut the gate in the darke, the men went out, whither the men went I wote not: follow ye after them quickly, for ye shall ouertake them.

6 Isheen garuu gara bantii manaatti ol isaan baaftee cidii talbaa kan bantii manaa irratti tuultee turte jala isaan dhoksite.

(But she had brought them vp to the roofe of the house, and hidde them with the stalkes of flaxe, which she had spread abroad vpon the roofe)

7 Kanaafuu namoonni basaastota sana duukaa buʼuudhaaf karaa gara malkaa Yordaanos geessu irra buʼanii qajeelan; karri sunis akkuma duukaa buutonni sun baʼaniin cufame.

And certaine men pursued after them, the way to Iorden, vnto the foordes, and as soone as they which pursued after them, were gone out, they shut the gate.

8 Isheenis utuu basaastonni sun buluuf hin ciciisin gara bantii manaatti ol baatee

And before they were a sleepe, she came vp vnto them vpon the roofe,

9 akkana isaaniin jette; “Ani akka Waaqayyo biyya kana isinii kennee fi akka isin sodaachuun nurra buʼes nan beeka; namni biyya kana keessa jiraatu hundinuus sababii keessaniif fuula keessan duratti sodaadhaan hollachaa jira.

And saide vnto the men, I knowe that the Lord hath giuen you the land, and that the feare of you is fallen vpon vs, and that all the inhabitants of the land faint because of you.

10 Yommuu isin Gibxii baatanitti akka itti Waaqayyo Galaana Diimaa fuula keessan duratti gogse, waan isinis Sihoonii fi Oogi mootota Amoorotaa kanneen gama baʼa Yordaanositti guutumaan guutuutti balleessitan sana lamaan gootan dhageenyeerra.

For we haue heard, howe the Lord dried vp the water of the redde Sea before you, when you came out of Egypt, and what you did vnto the two Kings of the Amorites, that were on the other side Iorden, vnto Sihon and to Og, whom ye vtterly destroyed:

11 Nu yommuu waaʼee waan kanaa dhageenyetti sababii keessaniif onneen keenya baqxee abdii kutanne. Waaqayyo Waaqni keessan ol samii gubbaatti, gad lafa irrattis Waaqaatii.

And when wee heard it, our heartes did faint, and there remained no more courage in any because of you: for the Lord your God, he is the God in heauen aboue, and in earth beneath.

12 “Egaa amma sababii ani garaa isinii laafeef isinis akkasuma akka maatii kootiif garaa laaftan maqaa Waaqayyootiin naa kakadhaa. Mallattoo dhugaas naa kennaa;

Now therefore, I pray you, sweare vnto me by the Lord; that as I haue shewed you mercie, ye will also shewe mercie vnto my fathers house, and giue me a true token,

13 kunis akka isin lubbuu abbaa kootii, haadha kootii, obbolootaa fi obboleettota kootii, waan kan isaanii taʼe hundaa fi lubbuu keenya duʼa oolchitaniif.”

And that yee will saue aliue my father and my mother, and my brethren, and my sisters, and all that they haue: and that yee will deliuer our soules from death.

14 Namoonnis, “Lubbuun keenya sababii lubbuu keessaniitiif haa badduu! Yoo isin waan nu hojjennu kana namatti himuu baattan nu yommuu Waaqayyo biyya kana nuu kennutti gara laafinaa fi amanamummaadhaan si simanna” jedhanii ishee abdachiisan.

And the men answered her, Our life for you to die, if ye vtter not this our businesse: and when the Lord hath giuen vs the lande, we will deale mercifully and truely with thee.

15 Kanaafuu isheen sababii manni isheen keessa jiraattu sun dallaa magaalattiitiin wal qabatuuf foddaa keessaan funyoodhaan gad isaan buufte.

Then she let them downe by a corde thorowe the windowe: for her house was vpon the towne wall, and she dwelt vpon the wall.

16 Isheenis akkana isaaniin jette; “Akka warri isin duukaa buʼan sun isin hin argineef gara gaarraniitti baqadhaa. Hamma isaan deebiʼanitti guyyoota sadii achitti dhokadhaa; ergasii immoo karaa keessan deemaa.”

And she said vnto them, Goe you into the mountaine, least the pursuers meete with you, and hide your selues there three dayes, vntill the pursuers be returned: then afterwarde may yee goe your way.

17 Namoonni sunis akkana jedhaniin; “Kakuun ati nu kakachiifte kun kan nu qabachuu dandaʼu,

And the men said vnto her, We will be blamelesse of this thine othe, which thou hast made vs sweare.

18 yoo ati yommuu nu biyyattii seennutti funyoo bildiimaa kana foddaa ittiin gad nu buufte kanatti hiitee abbaa keetii fi haadha kee, obboloota keetii fi maatii kee hunda mana keetti galchite qofa.

Behold, when we come into the land, thou shalt bind this cord of red threde in the window, whereby thou lettest vs downe, and thou shalt bring thy father and thy mother, and thy brethren, and all thy fathers houshold home to thee.

19 Namni tokko iyyuu yoo mana kee keessaa gara daandii alaatti gad baʼe, dhiigni isaa matuma isaatti deebiʼa; nu itti hin gaafatamnu. Nama si wajjin mana kee keessa jiru immoo yoo harki tokko iyyuu isa tuqe, dhiigni isaa mataa keenyatti deebiʼa.

And whosoeuer then doeth goe out at the doores of thine house into the streete, his blood shalbe vpon his head, and we will be giltlesse: but whosoeuer shall be with thee in the house, his blood shalbe on our head, if any hande touch him:

20 Garuu yoo ati waan nu hojjennu kana namatti himte, nu kakuu ati nu kakachiifte sana jalaa bilisa baana.”

And if thou vtter this our matter, we will be quite of thine othe, which thou hast made vs sweare.

21 Isheenis, “Fudhadheera; akkuma isin jettan haa taʼu” jettee deebifte. Kanaafuu isheen isaan ergite; isaanis kaʼanii deeman. Isheen funyoo bildiimaa sana foddaa sanatti hiite.

And she answered, According vnto your wordes, so be it: then she sent them away, and they departed, and she bound the red cord in ye window.

22 Isaanis yommuu baʼanitti gara gaarranii deemanii hamma duukaa buutonni sun karaa irra barbaadanii isaan dhabanii deebiʼanitti guyyaa sadii achi turan.

And they departed, and came into the mountaine, and there abode three dayes, vntil the pursuers were returned: and the pursuers sought them throughout all the way, but founde them not.

23 Basaastonni lamaan sunis deebiʼanii gaarran keessaa baʼanii malkaadhaan laga ceʼuudhaan gara Iyyaasuu ilma Nuuni dhufan; waan isaan irra gaʼe hundas isatti himan.

So the two men returned, and descended from the mountaine, and passed ouer, and came to Ioshua the sonne of Nun, and tolde him all things that came vnto them.

24 Isaanis Iyyaasuudhaan, “Waaqayyo dhugumaan biyyattii guutuu harka keenyatti kenneera; namoonni hundinuus sababii keenyaaf sodaadhaan hollachaa jiru” jedhan.

Also they saide vnto Ioshua, Surely the Lord hath deliuered into our handes all the lande: for euen all the inhabitants of the countrey faint because of vs.
