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 Joshua the son of Nun sent from Shittim two men to spy secretly, saying, Go, view the land, even Jericho. And they went, and came into the house of a harlot, named Rahab, and lodged there.

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 told the king of Jericho, saying, Behold, there came men in hither to-night of the children of Israel, to search out the country.

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 forth the men that have come to thee, who have entered into thy house: for they have come to search out all the country.

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 took the two men, and hid them, and said thus, There came men to me, but I knew not whence they [were]:

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 it came to pass [about the time] of shutting the gate, when it was dark, that the men went out: whither the men went, I know not: pursue after them quickly; for ye 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 had brought them up to the roof of the house, and hid them with the stalks of flax, which she had laid in order upon the roof.

7 Nimankiina markaasay u raacdaysteen xagga Webi Urdun ilaa meeshii laga gudbi jiray; oo isla markii kuwii iyaga raacdaynayay baxeen ayaa iriddii la xidhay.

And the men pursued them the way to Jordan to the fords: and as soon as they who pursued them had gone out, they shut the gate.

8 Oo intaanay seexan ka hor ayaa naagtii saqafkii ugu timid iyagii,

And before they had lain down, she came up to them upon the roof;

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.

And she said to the men, I know that the LORD hath given you the land, and that your terror hath fallen upon us, and that all the inhabitants of the land faint because of you.

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.

For we have heard how the LORD dried up the water of the Red sea for you, when ye came out of Egypt; and what ye did to the two kings of the Amorites, that [were] on the other side of Jordan, Sihon and Og, whom ye utterly destroyed.

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 as soon as we had heard [these things], our hearts did melt, neither did there remain any more courage in any man, because of you: for the LORD your God, he [is] God in heaven above, and in earth beneath.

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, I pray you, swear to me by the LORD, since I have showed you kindness, that ye will also show kindness to my father's house, and give me a true token:

13 iyo inaad badbaadinaysaan aabbahay, iyo hooyaday, iyo walaalahay, iyo waxay haystaan oo dhan, iyo inaad naftayada dhimasho ka samatabbixinaysaan.

And [that] ye will save alive my father, and my mother, and my brethren, and my sisters, and all that they have, and deliver our lives 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.

And the men answered her, Our life for yours, if ye utter not this our business. And it shall be, when the LORD hath given us the land, that we will deal kindly and truly with thee.

15 Kolkaasay xadhig daaqadda kaga dhex dejisay, waayo, gurigeedu wuxuu ku yiil magaalada derbigeeda, oo waxay degganayd derbiga dushiisa.

Then she let them down by a cord through the window: for her house [was] upon the town-wall, and she dwelt upon 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, Depart to the mountain, lest the pursuers meet you; and hide yourselves there three days, until the pursuers have returned: and afterward ye may go your way.

17 Kolkaasaa nimankii waxay iyadii ku yidhaahdeen, Bal ogow, annagu eed kuma yeelan doonno dhaartaadan aad nagu dhaarisay.

And the men said to her, We [will be] blameless of this thy oath which thou hast made us swear.

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.

Behold, [when] we come into the land, thou shalt bind this line of scarlet thread in the window by which thou didst let us down: and thou shalt bring thy father, and thy mother, and thy brethren, and all thy father's household home to thee.

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.

And it shall be, [that] whoever shall go out of the doors of thy house into the street, his blood [shall be] upon his head, and we [will be] guiltless: and whoever shall be with thee in the house, his blood [shall be] on our head, if [any] hand be upon him.

20 Laakiinse haddaad xaalkayaga sheegto, de markaas eed kuma yeelan doonno dhaartaadii aad nagu dhaarisay.

And if thou shalt utter this our business, then we will be quit of thy oath which thou hast made us to swear.

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 said, According to your words, so [be] it. And she sent them away, and they departed: and she bound the scarlet line in 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 they went, and came to the mountain, and abode there three days, until the pursuers had returned: and the pursuers sought [them] throughout all the way, but found [them] not.

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.

So the two men returned, and descended from the mountain, and passed over, and came to Joshua the son of Nun, and told him all [things] that befell 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 to Joshua, Truly the LORD hath delivered into our hands all the land; for even all the inhabitants of the country do faint because of us.
