Yashuuca 2
1 Markaasaa Yashuuca ina Nuun wuxuu Shitiim si qarsoon uga diray laba nin oo basaasyo ah, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Bal taga oo soo ilaaleeya dalka iyo magaalada Yerixoo. Markaasay tageen, oo waxay galeen guri naag dhillo ah oo magaceeda la odhan jiray Raxab, oo halkaasay jiifsadeen.
And so Joshua, the son of Nun, sent two men from Shittim to explore in secret. And he said to them, “Go and consider the land and the city of Jericho.” And while traveling, they entered into the house of a harlot woman named Rahab, and they rested with her.
2 Oo markaasaa boqorkii Yerixoo loo sheegay oo lagu yidhi, Niman reer binu Israa'iil ah ayaa caawa magaalada yimid si ay dalka u ilaaleeyaan.
And it was reported to the king of Jericho, and it was said: “Behold, men have entered to this place in the night, from the sons of Israel, so that they might explore the land.”
3 Markaasaa boqorkii Yerixoo cid u diray Raxab, oo ku yidhi, Soo bixi nimankii kuu yimid oo gurigaaga galay, waayo, waxay u yimaadeen si ay dalka oo dhan u ilaaleeyaan.
And the king of Jericho sent to Rahab, saying: “Bring out the men who came to you, and who entered into your house. For certainly they are spies, and they have arrived to consider the entire land.”
4 Laakiin naagtii mar horay kaxaysay labadii nin, wayna qarisay; oo waxay tidhi, Haah, nimankii waa ii yimaadeen, laakiinse ma aan garanaynin meel ay ka yimaadeen,
And the woman, taking the men, hid them. And she said: “I admit that they came to me, but I did not know where they were from.
5 oo markii iridda la xidhi lahaa oo ay gudcur noqotay ayay nimankii baxeen. Meeshii nimankii tageenna anigu garan maayo; haddaba dhaqso u raacdeeya, waayo, waad gaadhi karaysaan.
And when the gate was closed, they went out together in the darkness. I do not know where they have gone. Pursue them quickly, and you will overtake them.”
6 Laakiinse waxay iyagii keentay saqafkii dushiisa, oo waxay ku qarisay caws linen la yidhaahdo oo ay qummaati ugu dhigtay saqafka dushiisa.
But she caused the men to ascend to the roof of her house, and she covered them with the stalks of flax that were there.
7 Nimankiina markaasay u raacdaysteen xagga Webi Urdun ilaa meeshii laga gudbi jiray; oo isla markii kuwii iyaga raacdaynayay baxeen ayaa iriddii la xidhay.
But those who had been sent pursued after them along the way that leads to the ford of the Jordan. And as soon as they went out, the gate was closed.
8 Oo intaanay seexan ka hor ayaa naagtii saqafkii ugu timid iyagii,
Those who were hiding had not yet fallen asleep, and behold, the woman went up to them, and she said:
9 oo waxay nimankii ku tidhi, Anigu waan ogahay in Rabbigu dalka idin siiyey, oo cabsidiinnii baa nagu dhacday, iyo in kuwa dalka deggan oo dhammu ay hortiinna ku dhalaaleen.
“I know that the Lord has given this land to you. For the terror of you has fallen upon us, and all the inhabitants of the land have languished.
10 Waayo, waxaannu maqalnay sidii Rabbigu hortiinna uga engejiyey biyihii Badda Cas, markii aad Masar ka soo baxdeen, iyo wixii aad ku samayseen labadii boqor oo Siixon iyo Coog oo ahaa reer Amor, ee joogay Webi Urdun shishadiisa, oo aad wada baabbi'iseen.
We have heard that the Lord dried up the water of the Red Sea upon your arrival, when you were departing from Egypt, and we heard of the things that you did to the two kings of the Amorites, who were beyond the Jordan, Sihon and Og, whom you put to death.
11 Oo isla markii aannu maqalnay ayaannu dhalaalnay, oo idinka daraaddiin ninna xoog kuma hadhin; maxaa yeelay, Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ahu waa Ilaaha samada sare iyo dhulka hooseba jooga.
And upon hearing these things, we were very afraid, and our heart languished. Neither did there remain in us any spirit at your arrival. For the Lord your God is the very God in heaven above and on earth below.
12 Haddaba sidaas daraaddeed waan idin baryayaaye, Rabbiga iigu dhaarta inaad reerka aabbahay ugu roonaanaysaan sidaan idiinku roonaaday oo kale, oo i siiya calaamo run ah;
Now, therefore, swear to me by the Lord that in the same way that I have acted with mercy toward you, so also shall you act toward the house of my father. And may you give me a true sign
13 iyo inaad badbaadinaysaan aabbahay, iyo hooyaday, iyo walaalahay, iyo waxay haystaan oo dhan, iyo inaad naftayada dhimasho ka samatabbixinaysaan.
that you will save my father and mother, my brothers and sisters, and all that is theirs, and that you may rescue our souls from death.”
14 Markaasaa nimankii waxay naagtii ku yidhaahdeen, Naftayadu waxay u bixi doontaa tiinna, haddaydnan sheegin xaalkayaga, oo markii Rabbigu dalka na siiyo roonaan iyo daacadnimo ayaannu kugula macaamiloon doonnaa.
They responded to her: “May our lives be yours unto death, if only you do not betray us. And when the Lord will have delivered the land to us, we will act toward you with mercy and truth.”
15 Kolkaasay xadhig daaqadda kaga dhex dejisay, waayo, gurigeedu wuxuu ku yiil magaalada derbigeeda, oo waxay degganayd derbiga dushiisa.
Therefore, she sent them down from a window with a rope. For her house was joined to the wall.
16 Oo waxay iyagii ku tidhi, Buurta xaggeeda taga, yaan raacdadu idin heline, oo intii saddex maalmood ah halkaas ku dhuunta, ilaa ay raacdadu ka soo noqonayso; dabadeedna jidkiinna iska mara.
And she said to them: “Climb up to the mountains; otherwise, they may meet you as they are returning. And lay hidden there for three days, until they return. And then you will go on your way.”
17 Kolkaasaa nimankii waxay iyadii ku yidhaahdeen, Bal ogow, annagu eed kuma yeelan doonno dhaartaadan aad nagu dhaarisay.
And they said to her: “We shall be innocent of this oath, to which you have sworn us,
18 Markii aannu dalka nimaadno, xadhiggan dunta guduudan ah waa inaad ku xidhaa daaqaddii aad naga dejisay. Oo waa inaad guriga gudihiisa ku soo urursataa aabbahaa, iyo hooyadaa, iyo walaalahaa, iyo reerka aabbahaa oo dhan.
if, when we enter into the land, this scarlet cord has been placed as a sign, and you have tied it at the window by which you let us down. And so, gather your father, and mother, and brothers, and all your family into your house.
19 Oo waxay ahaan doontaa, in ku alla kii ka baxa albaabbada gurigaaga oo jidka maraba, uu dhiiggiisu ahaan doono dushiisa, oo annana aannan eed ku yeelanaynin, iyo in ku alla kii guriga kugula jira haddii far la saaro, uu dhiiggiisu dushayada ahaan doono.
Whoever will have exited from the door of your house, his blood will be on his own head, and we will be uninvolved. But the blood of all who will be with you in the house shall fall back upon our own head, if anyone touches them.
20 Laakiinse haddaad xaalkayaga sheegto, de markaas eed kuma yeelan doonno dhaartaadii aad nagu dhaarisay.
But if you will have betrayed us, so that you spread this word in their midst, we will be free from this oath, to which you have sworn us.”
21 Kolkaasay waxay ku tidhi, Sidaad tidhaahdeen ha ahaato. Kolkaasay iska dirtay, oo iyana way ka tageen; markaasay xadhiggii guduudnaa daaqaddii ku xidhay.
And she responded, “Just as you have spoken, so let it be done.” And sending them to travel on, she hung the scarlet cord at the window.
22 Kolkaasay tageen, oo waxay yimaadeen buurtii, oo halkaasay saddex maalmood joogeen, ilaa ay raacdadii ka soo noqotay; oo raacdadiina jidka oo dhan bay ka doondooneen, laakiinse ma ay helin.
And truly, walking on, they arrived at the mountains, and they stayed there for three days, until those who had been pursuing them returned. For having sought them along the entire way, they did not find them.
23 Markaasaa labadii nin noqdeen; buurtii bay ka degeen, oo intay webigii gudbeen ayay u yimaadeen Yashuuca ina Nuun; kolkaasay u sheegeen wixii ku dhacay oo dhan.
And when they returned and entered the city, the explorers descended from the mountain. And crossing the Jordan, they went to Joshua, the son of Nun, and they reported to him all that had happened to them.
24 Oo waxay Yashuuca ku yidhaahdeen, Sida runta Rabbigu dalka oo dhan gacmaheennuu geliyey, oo weliba, kuwa dalka deggan oo dhammu horteenay ku dhalaalayaan kulligood.
And they said, “The Lord has delivered this entire land into our hands, and all its inhabitants have been struck down by fear.”
