1 ౧ ఆ రోజుల్లో ఇశ్రాయేలీయుల భయం వల్ల ఎవ్వరూ బయటికి వెళ్ళకుండా, లోపలికి రాకుండా యెరికో పట్టణ ద్వారం గట్టిగా మూసివేశారు.
၁ထိုအခါ ဣသရေလ အမျိုးသားတို့ကြောင့် ၊ ယေရိခေါ မြို့သည် ကျပ်တည်းစွာ ပိတ် ထားလျက် ရှိ၍ ၊ ထွက် သောသူ၊ ဝင် သောသူ တစုံတယောက်မျှမ ရှိသည်နှင့်အညီ၊
2 ౨ అప్పుడు యెహోవా యెహోషువతో ఇలా అన్నాడు. “చూడూ, నేను యెరికోను దాని రాజును అందులోని పరాక్రమశాలురను నీ చేతికి అప్పగిస్తున్నాను.
၂ထာဝရဘုရား က၊ ကြည့်ရှု လော့။ ယေရိခေါ မြို့၊ ယေရိခေါ မင်းကြီး နှင့်တကွ ခွန်အားကြီးသော စစ်သူရဲ တို့ ကို သင့် လက် ၌ ငါအပ် လေပြီ။

၄ယဇ် ပုရောဟိတ်ခုနစ် ယောက်တို့သည် သေတ္တာ တော်ရှေ့ မှာ ယုဘိလ တံပိုး ခုနစ် လုံးကို ဆောင် ရကြမည်။ သတ္တမ နေ့ ရက်၌ ခုနစ် ကြိမ် တိုင်အောင်မြို့ ကိုလှည့်ပတ် ၍ ယဇ်ပုရောဟိတ် တို့သည် တံပိုးကိုမှုတ် ရကြမည်။
5 ౫ మానక ఆ కొమ్ములతో వారు ధ్వని చేస్తూండగా మీరు ఆ బూరల ధ్వని విన్నప్పుడు ప్రజలందరూ ఆర్భాటంగా కేకలు వేయాలి, అప్పుడు ఆ పట్టణ ప్రాకారం కూలిపోతుంది. యోధులు ప్రతి ఒక్కరూ ఎవరి ముందు వారు చక్కగా ఎక్కుతూ దాని మీద దాడి చెయ్యాలి” అన్నాడు.

၁၀ယောရှု ကလည်း၊ သင် တို့သည် ကြွေးကြော် စေခြင်းငှါ ငါ မှာ ထားသောနေ့ မ ရောက်မှီတွင် မ ကြွေးကြော် ရ၊ အသံ တစုံတခုကိုမျှ မ ပြုရ၊ စကား တခွန်းကိုမျှ မ ပြော ရ။ ထိုနေ့ရောက်မှ ကြွေးကြော် ရကြမည်ဟု လူ များတို့အား မှာ နှင့်လေပြီ။

၁၆သတ္တမ အကြိမ် တွင် ယဇ်ပုရောဟိတ် တို့သည် တံပိုး မှုတ် သောအခါ ၊ ယောရှု က၊ ကြွေးကြော် ကြလော့။ ထာဝရဘုရား သည် သင် တို့အား မြို့ ကိုပေး တော်မူမည်။
17 ౧౭ “ఈ పట్టణాన్నీ, దీనిలో ఉన్నవాటన్నిటినీ యెహోవా శపించాడు. రాహాబు అనే వేశ్య మనం పంపిన వేగులవారిని దాచిపెట్టింది కాబట్టి ఆమె, ఆ ఇంట్లో ఉన్న వారందరు మాత్రమే బ్రదుకుతారు.
၁၇မြို့ နှင့်တကွ မြို့ ၌ ရှိသမျှ တို့ကို ကျိန် ၍ ထာဝရဘုရား ၌ အပ်ရမည်။ သို့ရာတွင်ပြည်တန်ဆာ ရာခပ် သည် ငါတို့စေလွှတ် သော တမန် တို့ကို ဝှက် ထားသောကြောင့် ၊ သူ နှင့်တကွ သူ ၏အိမ် ၌ ရှိသမျှ တို့အား အသက် ချမ်းသာပေးရမည်။
18 ౧౮ శాపానికి గురైన దానిలో కొంచెమైనా మీరు తీసికొంటే మీరు శాపగ్రస్తులై ఇశ్రాయేలీయుల శిబిరానికి శాపం తెప్పించి దానికి బాధ కలిగించిన వారవుతారు కాబట్టి శపించిన దాన్ని మీరు ముట్టుకోకూడదు.
၁၈သင် တို့သည် ကျိန် အပ်သောအရာကို သတိ နှင့် ရှောင်ကြလော့။ သို့မဟုတ်ထိုအရာကို သိမ်းယူ လျှင် မိမိတို့ ကို၎င်း၊ ဣသရေလ တပ် ကို၎င်းအကျိန် ခံစေ၍ ၊ နှောင့်ရှက် မည်ကို စိုးရိမ်စရာရှိ၏။
19 ౧౯ వెండి, బంగారు, ఇత్తడి పాత్రలు, ఇనుప పాత్రలు యెహోవాకు ప్రతిష్ఠితాలవుతాయి. వాటిని యెహోవా ధనాగారంలో ఉంచాలి.”
၁၉ရွှေ ငွေ ကို၎င်း၊ ကြေးဝါ တန်ဆာ ၊ သံ တန်ဆာရှိသမျှ တို့ကို၎င်း၊ ထာဝရဘုရား အဘို့ သန့်ရှင်း စေ၍၊ ဘဏ္ဍာ တော်ထဲသို့ သွင်း ထားရကြမည်ဟု လူ များတို့အား ယောရှုသည် မှာ ထားလေ၏။
20 ౨౦ యాజకులు బూరలు ఊదగానే ప్రజలు కేకలు వేశారు. ఆ బూరల శబ్దం విన్నప్పుడు ప్రజలు ఆర్భాటంగా కేకలు వేసినపుడు ఆ ప్రాకారం కూలిపోయింది. ప్రజలంతా నేరుగా చక్కగా ఆ ప్రాకారం ఎక్కి పట్టణాన్ని పట్టుకున్నారు.
၂၀ထိုသို့ နှင့်အညီတံပိုး ကို မှုတ် ၍ ၊ လူ များတို့သည် ကြွေးကြော် ကြ၏။ တံပိုး သံ ကို ကြား ၍ ကျယ် သောအသံ နှင့် ကြွေးကြော် ကြသောအခါ ၊ မြို့ရိုး သည် အကုန်အစင်ပြိုလဲ ၍၊ လူ များအပေါင်းတို့သည် မြို့ ထဲ သို့ တည့်တည့် ဝင် ပြီးလျှင် သိမ်းယူ ကြ၏။
21 ౨౧ వారు పురుషులనూ స్త్రీలనూ చిన్న పెద్దలనందరినీ యెద్దులనూ గొర్రెలనూ గాడిదలనూ ఆ పట్టణంలోని సమస్తాన్నీ కత్తితో చంపి వేశారు.
၂၁မြို့ ထဲ ၌ရှိသမျှ သော ယောက်ျား ၊ မိန်းမ ၊ အကြီး အငယ် ၊ သိုး ၊ နွား ၊ မြည်း ရှိသမျှတို့ကို ထား နှင့် ရှင်းရှင်းဖျက်ဆီး ကြ၏။
22 ౨౨ అయితే యెహోషువ “ఆ వేశ్య ఇంటికి వెళ్ళి, మీరు ఆమెతో ప్రమాణం చేసిన విధంగా ఆమెను, ఆమెకు కలిగిన వారినందరినీ అక్కడ నుండి తీసుకు రండి” అని ఆ దేశాన్ని వేగు చూసిన ఆ ఇద్దరు మనుషులతో చెప్పాడు.
၂၂ထိုပြည် ကို စူးစမ်း သော လူ နှစ် ယောက်တို့အား ယောရှု က၊ သင်တို့သည် ကျိန်ဆို သည်အတိုင်း ၊ ပြည်တန်ဆာ မိန်းမ အိမ် သို့ သွား ၍ ၊ သူ နှင့်တကွ သူ ၌ ရှိသမျှ တို့ကို ဆောင် ခဲ့ကြလော့ဟု မှာ လိုက်သည်အတိုင်း၊
23 ౨౩ వారు వెళ్ళి రాహాబును, ఆమె తండ్రిని, ఆమె తల్లిని, ఆమె సోదరులను, ఆమె బంధువులందరిననీ బయటికి తోడుకుని వచ్చారు. వారందరినీ తెచ్చి ఇశ్రాయేలీయుల శిబిరం బయట వారికి నివాసం ఏర్పాటు చేశారు.
၂၃တံလျှို လုပ်သောလုလင် တို့သည် ဝင် ၍ ၊ ရာခပ် နှင့် သူ့ မိဘ ၊ သူ့ မောင် များ၊ သူ ၌ ရှိသမျှ တို့ကို၎င်း ၊ သူ့ ပေါက်ဘော် အပေါင်း တို့ကို၎င်းထုတ် ဆောင်ခဲ့၍ ၊ ဣသရေလ တပ် ပြင် မှာထား ပြီးလျှင်၊
24 ౨౪ తరువాత వారు ఆ పట్టణాన్ని, దానిలో ఉన్నవాటన్నిటినీ అగ్నితో కాల్చివేశారు. వెండి, బంగారు, ఇత్తడి పాత్రలు, ఇనపపాత్రలను మాత్రమే యెహోవా మందిర ధనాగారంలో ఉంచారు.
၂၄မြို့ နှင့်တကွမြို့ ၌ ရှိသမျှ တို့ကို မီး ရှို့ ကြ၏။ သို့ရာတွင် ရွှေ ငွေ ကို၎င်း၊ ကြေးဝါ တန်ဆာ ၊ သံ တန်ဆာတို့ကို၎င်း၊ ထာဝရဘုရား ၏ ဘဏ္ဍာ တော်ထဲသို့ သွင်း ထားကြ၏။
25 ౨౫ రాహాబు అనే వేశ్య యెరికోను వేగు చూడ్డానికి యెహోషువ పంపిన గూఢచారులను దాచిపెట్టింది కాబట్టి అతడు ఆమెను, ఆమె తండ్రి ఇంటివారిని, ఆమెకు కలిగిన వారినందరినీ బతకనిచ్చాడు. ఆమె ఇప్పటికీ ఇశ్రాయేలీయుల మధ్యలోనే నివసిస్తూ ఉంది.
၂၅ယောရှု သည်လည်း၊ ပြည်တန်ဆာ ရာခပ် နှင့် သူ့ ပေါက်ဘော် ၊ သူ ၌ ရှိသမျှ တို့ကို အသက် ချမ်းသာပေး၍ ၊ သူသည် ဣသရေလ အမျိုးသားတို့တွင် ယနေ့ တိုင်အောင် နေ ရလေ၏။ အကြောင်းမူကား ၊ ယေရိခေါ မြို့ကို စူးစမ်း စေခြင်းငှါ ၊ ယောရှု စေလွှတ် သော တမန် တို့ကို သူသည် ဝှက် ထားသောကြောင့်တည်း။
26 ౨౬ అప్పుడు యెహోషువ ప్రజల చేత ప్రతిజ్ఞ చేయించి వారికిలా ఆజ్ఞాపించాడు “ఎవడు యెరికో పట్టణాన్ని కట్టించడానికి పూనుకుంటాడో వాడు యెహోవా దృష్టికి శాపగ్రస్తుడు. దాని పునాది వేసిన వాడి పెద్దకొడుకు చనిపోతాడు. దాని తలుపులు నిలబెట్టినపుడు వాడి చిన్నకొడుకు మరణిస్తాడు.”
၂၆ထိုအခါ ယောရှု က၊ အကြင်သူ သည် ထ ၍ ယေရိခေါ မြို့ ကို တည် ပြန်၏၊ ထိုသူ သည် ထာဝရဘုရား ရှေ့ တော်၌ ကျိန် အပ်သောသူဖြစ်ပါစေ။ သူ သည် သားဦး လက်ထက်၌ မြို့ရိုးအမြစ်ကိုတည် ၍ သားထွေး လက်ထက်၌ မြို့ တံခါး တို့ကို ထောင် ပါစေဟု ကျိန်ဆို ၏။
၂၇ထိုသို့ ထာဝရဘုရား သည် ယောရှု နှင့်အတူ ရှိ တော်မူ၍ ၊ သူ ၏ သိတင်း သည် တပြည် လုံး ၌ နှံ့ပြား ကျော်စော လေ၏။
