< Yashuuca 6 >

1 (Haddaba Yerixoo waxaa loo xidhay reer binu Israa'iil aawadood; oo lamana geli jirin, lagamana bixi jirin.)
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 Markaasaa Rabbigu wuxuu Yashuuca ku yidhi, Bal eeg, adigaan gacanta kuu geliyey Yerixoo, iyo boqorkeeda, iyo ragga xoogga leh.
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 Oo waa inaad magaalada hareeraysaan, oo raggiinna dagaalyahannada ah oo dhammu magaalada mar ku soo wareega. Oo sidaas waxaad yeeshaan lix maalmood.
So your army must march around the city for six days, once each day.
4 Oo toddoba wadaad waa inay sanduuqa hortiisa socdaan iyagoo wata toddoba buun oo wanan geesahood ah, oo maalinta toddobaad waa inaad magaalada ku soo wareegtaan toddoba jeer, oo wadaaddaduna waa inay buunanka afuufaan.
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 Oo markay aad u afuufaan buunanka wananka geesahooda ah, oo idinku aad maqashaan dhawaaqa buunka, dadka oo dhammu qaylo dheer waa inay ku qayliyaan, oo markaasaa derbiga magaaladu meeshiisa ku dhici doonaa, dadkuna waa inuu nin waluba hortiisa qummaati ugu socdaa.
[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 Markaasaa Yashuuca ina Nuun wadaaddadii u yeedhay, oo ku yidhi, Sanduuqa axdiga kor u qaada, oo sanduuqa Rabbiga toddoba wadaad ha la hor socdeen toddoba buun oo wanan geesahood ah.
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 Oo waxay dadkii ku yidhaahdeen, Socda oo magaalada hareereeya, oo ragga hubka sitaana ha ka hor mareen sanduuqa Rabbiga.
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 Oo sidii bay noqotay. Markii Yashuuca la hadlay dadkii waxaa socday oo Rabbiga hortiisa maray toddobadii wadaad oo sidda toddobadii buun oo wanan geesahood ah; oo waxay afuufeen buunankii; oo sanduuqii axdiga Rabbiguna waa lala daba socday.
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 Oo raggii hubka sitayna waxay hor socdeen wadaaddadii buunanka afuufayay, oo ururkii intiisii kalena waxay daba socdeen sanduuqa, oo wadaaddaduna buunankay afuufayeen intay socdeen.
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 Oo Yashuuca wuxuu dadkii ku amray oo ku yidhi, Waa inaydnaan qaylin, codkiinnana waa inaan la maqlin, afkiinnana eray qudh ah yaanu ka soo bixin, ilaa maalintii aan idinku amro inaad qaylisaan; oo markaas waa inaad qaylisaan.
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 Oo sidaasuu sanduuqii Rabbiga ugu soo wareejiyey magaaladii, oo mar bay ku soo wareegeen hareeraheeda; oo markaasay ku noqdeen xeradii, waxayna u hoydeen xeradii.
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 Markaasaa Yashuuca wuxuu kacay aroor hore, oo wadaaddadiina waxay kor u qaadeen sanduuqii Rabbiga.
The next morning, Joshua and the priests got up early, and the four priests carried Yahweh’s sacred chest [again].
13 Toddobadii wadaad oo sidday toddobadii buun oo wanan geesahood ahna, waxay had iyo goorba hor socdeen sanduuqii Rabbiga, oo waxay afuufeen buunankii; oo raggii hubka sitayna iyagay ka horreeyeen; ururkii intiisii kalena waxay daba socdeen sanduuqii Rabbiga, wadaaddaduna waxay afuufayeen buunankii intay socdeen.
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 Oo maalintii labaadna mar bay ku soo wareegeen magaaladii, oo waxay ku noqdeen xeradii; oo sidaasay intii lix maalmood ah yeeleen.
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 Oo maalintii toddobaad aroor horay keceen markii waagu beryay, oo sidii oo kale ayay magaaladii toddoba jeer ugu soo wareegeen; laakiin maalintaas ayay magaalada toddoba jeer ku soo wareegeen.
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 Oo markii toddobaad, markii wadaaddadii afuufeen buunankii ayaa Yashuuca dadkii ku yidhi, Qayliya, waayo, Rabbigu waa idin siiyey magaalada.
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 Oo magaalada waa inay xaaraan ka noqoto cid kale Rabbiga mooyaane, iyada iyo waxa gudaheeda ku jiraba; waxaa keliyahoo ka noolaanaya dhillada la yidhaahdo Raxab iyo inta guriga kula jirta oo dhan, maxaa yeelay, waxay qarisay basaasyadii aannu dirnay.
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 Oo idinku waa inaad si walba isaga dhawrtaan waxa la xarrimay, waayo, waaba intaasoo markii aad xarrintaan, aad haddana wax ka qaadataan alaabtii la xarrimay. Sidaas haddaad yeeshaan waxaad xaaraan ka dhigi doontaan oo aad dhibi doontaan xerada reer binu Israa'iil.
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 Laakiinse lacagta, iyo dahabka, iyo alaabta naxaasta iyo birta ah oo dhammu waxay quduus u yihiin Rabbiga, oo iyaga waa in la soo geliyaa khasnadda Rabbiga.
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 Sidaas daraaddeed dadkii way qayliyeen, oo wadaaddadiina buunankii bay afuufeen, oo markii dadkii maqleen dhawaaqii buunka ayaa dadkii ku qayliyey qaylo dheer, oo markaasaa derbigii meeshiisii ku dhacay, oo sidaasay dadkiina ku galeen magaaladii, oo nin waluba hortiisuu qummaati ugu socday, oo magaaladii bay qaateen.
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 Markaasay wax alla wixii magaalada ku jiray wada baabbi'iyeen, raggii iyo dumarkii, iyo dhallinyaradii iyo kuwii da'da weynaaba, iyo dibidii iyo idihii, iyo dameerradiiba, kulli waxay ku laayeen seef.
They killed [IDM] every living thing in the city—men and women, young people and old people, even cattle and sheep and donkeys.
22 Oo Yashuuca wuxuu ku yidhi labadii nin oo dalka soo basaastay, Gurigii dhillada gala, oo ka soo bixiya naagtii, iyo wax alla waxa ay haysato sidii aad iyada ugu dhaarateen.
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 Oo markaasay dhallinyaradii basaasyada ahaa gurigii galeen oo soo bixiyeen Raxab, iyo aabbeheed iyo hooyadeed, iyo walaalaheed, iyo wixii ay haysatay oo dhan, oo qaraabadeedii oo dhanna way soo bixiyeen, oo waxay geeyeen xeradii reer binu Israa'iil dibaddeeda.
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 Markaasay magaaladii iyo wixii ku jirayba dab ku gubeen, oo waxay keliyahoo khasnaddii Rabbiga geliyeen lacagtii iyo dahabkii, iyo alaabtii naxaasta iyo birta ahayd.
25 Laakiinse wuxuu Yashuuca badbaadiyey dhilladii Raxab, iyo reerkii aabbeheed, iyo wixii ay haysatay oo dhan, oo ilaa maantadan la joogo waxay dhex deggan tahay reer binu Israa'iil, waayo, waxay qarisay basaasyadii Yashuuca u diray inay Yerixoo soo basaasaan.
26 Markaasaa Yashuuca dhaariyey, oo wuxuu iyagii ku amray, oo ku yidhi, Kii kaca oo dhisa magaalada Yerixoo Rabbiga hortiisa inkaaru ha ku dhacdo. Markuu aasaaskeeda dhigo curadkiisuu waayi doonaa, markuu irdaheeda dhisona wiilkiisa ugu yar.
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 Haddaba Rabbigu wuxuu la jiray Yashuuca, oo warkiisiina wuxuu gaadhay dalkii oo dhan.
Because of what happened that day, it was clear that Yahweh was with/helped Joshua, and Joshua became famous throughout the land.
