Iyyaasuu 6
1 Yeroo sanatti Yerikoon sababii Israaʼelootaatiif jabeeffamtee cufamtee turte. Namni tokko iyyuu gad hin baʼu; namni tokko iyyuus ol hin seenu ture.
Meanwhile, the guards of Jericho shut the gates of the city tightly, because [they were afraid] of the Israeli [army]. No one was allowed to go into the city or go out of it.
2 Waaqayyos Iyyaasuudhaan akkana jedhe; “Kunoo ani mootii isheetii fi loltoota ishee wajjin Yerikoo dabarsee harka keetti kenneera.
Then Yahweh said to Joshua, “Listen [to what I say]! I am going to enable your army [SYN] to capture/conquer [MTY] Jericho and its king and its soldiers.
3 Hidhattoota hunda wajjin yeroo tokko magaalattii irra naannaʼaa; kanas bultii jaʼa hojjedhaa.
So your army must march around the city for six days, once each day.
4 Luboonni torbas malakata torba kanneen gaanfa hoolaa irraa hojjetaman qabatanii taabota dura haa deeman. Isinis guyyaa torbaffaatti yeroo torba magaalattii irra nanaannaʼaa; luboonnis malakata haa afuufan.
Tell seven priests to march around with them. Each priest must carry a trumpet. Four other priests must carry the sacred chest, and they must walk behind the priests who are carrying the trumpets. On the seventh day, the army must march around the city seven times, and the priests must be blowing the trumpets while they march.
5 Yommuu isaan sagalee malakataa dheeraa isaa dhageessisanitti namni hundinuu sagalee guddaadhaan haa iyyu; dallaan magaalaa sanaa yommusuma jiga; namoonnis ol baʼu; namni hundinuus qajeelee itti seena.”
[After they have all marched around the city seven times], the priests must blow their trumpets [once], very loudly. When the Israeli people/soldiers hear that, they must shout loudly. Then the wall of the city will collapse, and all the Israeli people/soldiers will go straight into the city.”
6 Kanaafuu Iyyaasuun ilmi Nuuni luboota ofitti waamee, “Taabota kakuu Waaqayyoo fuudhaatii luboonni torba malakata baatanii isa dura haa deeman” jedheen.
So Joshua summoned the priests and said to them, “Tell four priests to carry the chest [that contains] the Ten Commandments that Yahweh [gave to us]. [Tell] seven [other] priests to carry trumpets and walk in front of them.”
7 Namootaanis, “Fuula duratti deemaatii magaalaa sana irra naannaʼaa; loltoonni hidhatanis taabota Waaqayyoo dura haa deeman” jedhe.
And Joshua told the soldiers, “Start marching! March around the city, with several soldiers with weapons marching in front. Behind them will march the seven priests with trumpets, and behind them will march the four priests carrying Yahweh’s [sacred] chest.”
8 Erga Iyyaasuun namootatti dubbatee booddee, luboonni torban fuula Waaqayyoo duratti malakata torba baatan sun malakata isaanii afuufaa dura darban; taabonni kakuu Waaqayyoos isaan duukaa buʼe.
After Joshua told that to the army, the seven priests, each carrying a sacred trumpet, started marching, blowing their trumpets. The four priests who were carrying Yahweh’s sacred chest followed them.
9 Loltoonni miʼa lolaa hidhatanis luboota malakata afuufaa turan dura deeman; loltoonni dugda duubaa immoo taaboticha duukaa buʼan. Yeroo kana hundas malakanni afuufamaa ture.
The group of soldiers carrying weapons marched in front of the priests who were blowing their trumpets, and the rest of the soldiers followed [the four men carrying] the chest. While [they were all marching], [the seven priests] were blowing their trumpets.
10 Iyyaasuun garuu namootaan, “Iyya lolaa hin iyyinaa; sagalee keessan ol hin fudhatinaa; hamma guyyaa ani iyyaa isiniin jedhuutti dubbii tokko illee hin dubbatinaa. Gaafas iyyaa!” jedhe.
But [the rest of] the people [were silent, because] Joshua had commanded them, “Do not make a war cry. Do not yell or say anything until the day when I tell you to shout. On that day, you must shout [loudly]!”
11 Kanaafuu inni akka taabonni Waaqayyoo baatamee magaalaa sana irra yeroo tokko naannaʼu godhe. Ergasiis namoonni gara qubataatti deebiʼanii achi bulan.
So the men carrying Yahweh’s sacred chest and all the others did what Joshua told them to do. They marched around the city once. Then they all returned to their camp and stayed there that night.
12 Iyyaasuun guyyaa itti aanu ganama barii kaʼe; luboonnis taabota Waaqayyoo ol fuudhan.
The next morning, Joshua and the priests got up early, and the four priests carried Yahweh’s sacred chest [again].
13 Luboonni torban malakata torba baatanis taabota Waaqayyoo dura deemaa malakatas afuufaa fuula duratti qajeelan. Loltoonni miʼa lolaa hidhatan isaan dura buʼan; loltoonni dugda duubaa immoo taabota Waaqayyoo duukaa buʼan; malakannis ittuma fufee afuufamaa ture.
The seven priests who were carrying trumpets went in front of [the men carrying] the chest. The seven priests were blowing their trumpets as they marched. The group of soldiers carrying weapons went in front of all the others, and the rest of the army followed all the others. All the time, the seven priests were blowing their trumpets.
14 Kanaafuu guyyaa lammaffaatti yeroo tokko magaalattii irra naannaʼanii gara qubataatti deebiʼan. Kanas bultii jaʼa hojjetan.
So on that second day they again marched around the city once and then returned to their camp. They did the same thing for six days.
15 Guyyaa torbaffaatti ganama barii kaʼanii haaluma duraa sanaan yeroo torba magaalattii irra naannaʼan; isaan gaafuma sana qofa yeroo torba magaalattii irra naannaʼan.
On the seventh day, they got up at dawn, and they all marched around the city the same way that they had done before, but this time they marched around the city seven times.
16 Marsaa torbaffaatti yommuu luboonni malakata afuufanitti Iyyaasuun akkana jedhee namoota ajaje; “Iyyaa! Waaqayyo magaalattii isinii kenneeraatii!
As they were marching around the seventh time, when the priests were about to blow the long/loud blast on their trumpets, Joshua commanded the people, “Shout, because Yahweh will enable you to capture the city!
17 Magaalattii fi wanni ishee keessa jiru hundinuu Waaqayyoof addaan haa baafaman. Sababii isheen basaastota nu erganne sana dhoksiteef, Rahaab sagaagaltittiin qofti warra mana ishee keessa jiran hunda wajjin haa baraaramtu.
Yahweh has declared that you must destroy [IDM] the city and everything in it [to show that it belongs to him]. You must spare only Rahab the prostitute and the others who are in her house, because she hid the spies whom we sent there.
18 Isin garuu akka isaan keessaa tokko illee fudhattanii akkasiin badiisa ofitti hin fidneef waan laguu taʼe irraa fagaadhaa. Yoo kanaa achii isin qubata Israaʼeliitti iyyuu badiisa fiddanii rakkina irraan geessu.
And because Yahweh has declared that everything must be destroyed [IDM], you must not take [EUP] any of the things in the city. If you take anything, you will cause Yahweh to destroy our own camp and cause terrible things to happen to us.
19 Meetii fi warqeen hundi, miʼi naasiitii fi sibiilaa hundi sababii Waaqayyoof qulqulleeffamaniif mankuusa isaatti galuu qabu.”
But all the silver and gold and articles made from iron and bronze that you find, you must set apart for Yahweh. You must put those things in his treasury.”
20 Yommuu malakanni afuufametti namoonni ni iyyan; yommuu sagaleen malakata sanaa dhagaʼamee namoonnis sagalee guddaadhaan iyyanitti dallaan magaalaa sanaa ni kufe. Kanaafuu namni hundi fuul duratti girrisee seenuudhaan magaalaa sana qabate.
So they did what Joshua told them to do. When the priests blew a long blast on their trumpets, the people/army shouted loudly, and the wall of the city collapsed! Then the Israeli soldiers rushed in and captured the city.
21 Isaanis waan magaalaa sana Waaqayyoof addaan baasaniif waan isa keessa jiru hunda jechuunis dhiiraa dubartii, xinnaa guddaa, loon, hoolotaa fi harroota goraadeedhaan fixan.
They killed [IDM] every living thing in the city—men and women, young people and old people, even cattle and sheep and donkeys.
22 Iyyaasuunis namoota lamaan biyya sana basaasanii turaniin, “Mana sagaagaltuu sanaa ol seenaatii akkuma isin isheef kakattanitti ishee fi warra kan ishee taʼan hunda gad baasaa fidaa” jedhe.
Then Joshua said to the two men (who had spied on/whom he had sent to learn all they could about) the land, “Go to the prostitute’s house. Bring her out, along with all her family, just as you promised to her.”
23 Kanaafuu dargaggoonni basaasuu dhaqanii turan sun ol seenanii Rahaab, abbaa isheetii fi haadha ishee, obboloota isheetii fi waan kan ishee taʼe hundumaa gad baasan. Maatii ishee hundas alatti baasanii qubata Israaʼeliitiin ala isaan tursan.
So those two spies/men went into Rahab’s house and brought her out. They also brought out her father and mother and her brothers, and all the rest of her family. Joshua’s men spared Rahab the prostitute. They also did not kill all her relatives, because she had hidden and protected the spies/men whom Joshua had sent to Jericho. The two men brought them all out and put them in a place outside the camp of the Israelis. Rahab still lives among us Israeli people. Then the soldiers gathered the articles made from silver, gold, bronze, and iron that they found and they put them all into Yahweh’s treasury. But they burned everything else that was in the city.
24 Ergasii guutummaa magaalaa sanaatii fi waan ishee keessa jiru hunda guban; garuu meetii fi warqee, miʼa naasiitii fi sibiilaa mankuusa mana Waaqayyootti galchan.
25 Iyyaasuun garuu sababii isheen namoota inni akka basaasaniif gara Yerikootti ergee ture sana dhoksiteef Rahaab sagaagaltuu sana maatii isheetii fi waan kan ishee taʼe hunda wajjin ni baraare; isheenis hamma ammaatti Israaʼeloota gidduu jiraatti.
26 Iyyaasuunis yeroo sanatti akkana jedhee kakate; “Namni magaalaa Yerikoo kana deebisee ijaaru fuula Waaqayyoo duratti abaaramaa haa taʼu: “Inni hundee ishee buusnaan, ilmi isaa hangafti haa duʼu; karra ishee ijaaruu jalqabnaan, ilmi isaa quxisuun haa duʼu.”
At that time, Joshua warned the people, “Yahweh will curse/punish anyone who tries to rebuild this city, Jericho. When that person lays/builds its foundation, his oldest son will die. And when he finishes building the city wall and sets up its gates, his youngest son will die.”
27 Kanaafuu Waaqayyo Iyyaasuu wajjin ture; maqaan isaas guutummaa biyyatii keessatti beekame.
Because of what happened that day, it was clear that Yahweh was with/helped Joshua, and Joshua became famous throughout the land.
