2 Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Yosua sɛ, “Mede Yeriko, ɛhɔ ɔhene ne ɛhɔ akofoɔ nyinaa ahyɛ wo nsa.
Yehowa gblɔ na Yosua be, “Mieɖu Yerikotɔwo kple woƒe fia kple woƒe aʋawɔla sesẽwo katã dzi xoxo, elabena metsɔ wo de asi na mi!
3 Ma wʼasraadɔm no nyinaa mmɔ nsra ntwa kuropɔn no ho nhyia pɛnkorɔ ɛda biara nna nsia.

5 Sɛ mote sɛ asɔfoɔ no hyɛn mmɛn no dendeenden ma ɛkyɛre a, nnipa no nyinaa mmɔ nnye so. Afei kuropɔn no afasuo nyinaa bɛdwiri agu fam, na nnipa no bɛtumi ato ahyɛ kuropɔn no so.”
Ne nunɔlaawo ku kpẽawo zi ɖeka sesĩe ɣeyiɣi didi aɖe la, ameawo katã nado ɣli sesĩe. Dua ƒe gliwo amu adze anyi ekema miato teƒe sia teƒe age ɖe dua me.”
6 Na Yosua frɛɛ asɔfoɔ no ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Momfa Awurade Apam Adaka no na mo mu baason nni animu a obiara kura nnwennini abɛn.”
Yosua, Nun ƒe vi, yɔ nunɔlaawo hegblɔ na wo be, “Mikɔ nubablaɖaka la; mia dometɔ adre nakɔ woƒe kpẽwo, eye miadze Yehowa ƒe nubablaɖaka la ŋgɔ.”
7 Enti, ɔhyɛɛ nnipa no sɛ, “Mommɔ nsra mfa kuropɔn no ho na wɔn a wɔkurakura akodeɛ no bɛdi Awurade adaka no anim.”
Ale wòɖe gbe na ameawo be, “Mizɔ yi ŋgɔ! Mizɔ ƒo xlã du la. Ame siwo lé aʋawɔnuwo ɖe asi la nedze ŋgɔ na Yehowa ƒe nubablaɖaka la.”
8 Yosua kasa kyerɛɛ nnipa no wieeɛ no, asɔfoɔ baason a wɔkura nnwennini mmɛn no hyɛɛ aseɛ bɔɔ nsra wɔ Awurade anim a wɔrehyɛn mmɛn no. Na asɔfoɔ a wɔso Awurade Apam Adaka no dii wɔn akyi.
Esi Yosua ƒo nu na ameawo vɔ la, nunɔla adre siwo lé kpẽ adre ɖe asi le Yehowa ŋkume la zɔ ɖe ŋgɔgbe henɔ woƒe kpẽawo kum, eye Yehowa ƒe nubablaɖaka la kplɔ wo ɖo.

10 Yosua hyɛɛ sɛ, “Monnteam na monnkasa mpo. Mommma asɛm biara mfiri mo anom, kɔsi sɛ mɛka akyerɛ mo sɛ monteam na moateam.”
Yosua ɖe gbe na ameawo be, “Migado aʋaɣli o, migakɔ miaƒe gbewo dzi o, eye migagblɔ nya aɖeke o va se ɖe gbe si gbe magblɔ na mi be mido ɣli, ekema miado ɣli!”
11 Enti, ɛda no, wɔsoaa Awurade Adaka no twaa kuropɔn no ho prɛko. Na afei obiara sane kɔɔ atenaeɛ hɔ kɔhomee anadwo no.
Ale wòna wokɔ Yehowa ƒe aɖaka la ƒo xlã du la zi ɖeka. Tete ameawo gbugbɔ yi asaɖa la me, eye wotsi afi ma dɔ.
12 Adeɛ kyeeɛ no, Yosua sɔree anɔpahema, na asɔfoɔ no soaa Awurade Adaka no bio.
Yosua fɔ ŋdi kanya, nunɔlaawo kɔ nubablaɖaka la,
13 Asɔfoɔ baason a wɔkurakura nnwennini mmɛn no bɔɔ nsra wɔ Awurade Adaka no anim wɔ ɛberɛ a wɔrehyɛn wɔn mmɛn. Wɔn a wɔkurakura akodeɛ no bi nso bɔɔ nsra wɔ asɔfoɔ a wɔkurakura mmɛn no anim ne Awurade Adaka no akyi. Saa ɛberɛ no nyinaa na asɔfoɔ no rehyɛne wɔn mmɛn no.
eye nunɔla adre siwo si kpẽawo le la, dze ŋgɔ na Yehowa ƒe nubablaɖaka la, eye wonɔ kpẽawo kum. Aʋawɔla aɖewo dze ŋgɔ na nunɔlaawo, eye mamlɛawo kplɔ nubablaɖaka la ɖo, le esime kpẽawo ganɔ ɖiɖim ko.
14 Ɛda a ɛtɔ so mmienu no, wɔbɔɔ nsra twaa kuropɔn no ho prɛko, na wɔsane kɔɔ atenaeɛ hɔ. Wɔkɔɔ so yɛɛ saa ara nnansia.

15 Ɛda a ɛtɔ so nson no, Israelfoɔ no sɔree anɔpahema, bɔɔ nsra twaa kuropɔn no ho hyiaeɛ, sɛdeɛ wɔayɛ dada no. Nanso, saa ɛberɛ yi deɛ, wɔbɔɔ nsra twaa kuropɔn no ho mprɛnson.
Le ŋkeke adrelia ƒe fɔŋli la, wogadze mɔ, ke azɔ ya la, womegaƒo xlã du la zi ɖeka ko o, ke boŋ woƒo xlãe zi adre.
16 Ne mprɛnson so no, ɛberɛ a asɔfoɔ no hyɛnee wɔn mmɛn dendeenden ma ɛkyɛreeɛ no, Yosua hyɛɛ ɔmanfoɔ no sɛ, “Monteateam! Na Awurade de kuropɔn no ama mo!
Esi woƒo xlã du la zi adrelia la, nunɔlaawo ku kpẽawo sesĩe ɣeyiɣi didi aɖe. Yosua ɖe gbe na ameawo be, “Ɣli neɖi! Yehowa tsɔ du sia na mí!”
17 Kuropɔn no ne emu nneɛma no, ɛsɛ sɛ mosɛe ne nyinaa sɛ afɔrebɔdeɛ ma Awurade. Odwamanfoɔ Rahab ne nʼafifoɔ nko na ɛsɛ sɛ wɔgyaa wɔn, ɛfiri sɛ, ɔbɔɔ akwansrafoɔ no ho ban.
Yosua gblɔ na ameawo do ŋgɔ be, “Miwu ame sia ame negbe Rahab, gbolo la kple ame sia ame si anɔ eƒe aƒe me la ko, elabena exɔ na míaƒe ŋkutsalawo.
18 Mommfa nneɛma a ɛsɛ sɛ wɔsɛe no no mu biara, sɛ mofa a, mo ankasa na wɔbɛsɛe mo korakora na mode ɔhaw bɛbrɛ Israel nyinaa.
Migaha naneke o, elabena ele be miatsrɔ̃ nu sia nu gbidigbidi. Ne miewɔ alea o la, dzɔgbevɔ̃e ava Israel dukɔ blibo la dzi.
19 Biribiara a wɔde dwetɛ, sikakɔkɔɔ, kɔbere mfrafraeɛ anaa dadeɛ ayɛ no yɛ kronkron ma Awurade, enti ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde ba nʼadekoradan mu.”

20 Ɛberɛ a nnipa no tee mmɛn no nnyegyeeɛ no, wɔteateaam dendeenden sɛdeɛ wɔbɛtumi. Prɛko pɛ Yeriko afasuo no dwiri guu fam maa Israelfoɔ no firi afanan nyinaa to hyɛɛ kuropɔn no so na wɔfaeɛ.
Esi ameawo se kpẽawo ƒe ɖiɖi sesĩe la, wodo ɣli sesĩe abe ale si woate ŋui ene. Tete Yeriko ƒe gliwo mu dze anyi, eye wokaka le wo ŋkume. Israelviwo ge ɖe du la me bibibi to afi sia afi, eye woxɔ du la.
21 Wɔsɛee biribiara a ɛwɔ kuropɔn no mu pasaa, mmarima ne mmaa, mmɔfra ne mpanin, anantwie, nnwan, mfunumu ne biribiara.
Wotsrɔ̃ nu sia nu le dua me, ŋutsuwo kple nyɔnuwo, ɖeviwo kple ame tsitsiwo, nyiwo, alẽwo kple tedziwo. Wotsrɔ̃ nu sia nu keŋkeŋkeŋ.
22 Afei, Yosua ka kyerɛɛ akwansrafoɔ baanu no sɛ, “Monni mo bɔhyɛ no so. Monkɔ odwamanfoɔ no fie na monkɔfa no ne nʼabusuafoɔ nyinaa mmra.”
Yosua gblɔ na ŋkutsala eveawo be, “Miwɔ miaƒe ŋugbedodo dzi. Miyi miaxɔ Rahab, gbolo la kple ame siwo katã le eƒe aƒe me la ɖe agbe.”
23 Mmeranteɛ no kɔfaa Rahab, nʼagya, ne maame, ne nuammarima ne abusuafoɔ a na wɔwɔ ne nkyɛn no nyinaa baeɛ. Wɔde abusuafoɔ no nyinaa kɔsiee baabi a ɔhaw biara nni hɔ na ɛbɛn Israelfoɔ atenaeɛ.
Ŋkutsalawo yi ɖatu Rahab, eye woxɔe ɖe agbe kpe ɖe fofoa, dadaa, nɔviawo kple ame siwo katã nɔ egbɔ la ŋu. Wona ame siawo nɔ Israelviwo ƒe asaɖa la godo.
24 Afei, Israelfoɔ no hyee kuropɔn no ne emu nneɛma nyinaa. Nneɛma a wɔanhye no yɛ deɛ wɔde dwetɛ, sikakɔkɔɔ, kɔbere mfrafraeɛ anaa dadeɛ ayɛ. Wɔde ne nyinaa kɔsiee Awurade fie adekoradan mu.
Wotɔ dzo du la kple nu siwo katã le eme la negbe klosalo kple sika kple nu siwo wowɔ kple akɔbli kple gayibɔ ko wolɔ yi ɖada ɖe Yehowa ƒe nudzraɖoƒe.
25 Enti, Yosua amfa ne nsa anka odwamanfoɔ Rahab ne nʼabusuafoɔ a na wɔka ne ho wɔ efie no, ɛfiri sɛ, ɔde akwansrafoɔ a Yosua somaa wɔn Yeriko no sieeɛ. Enti, ɔte Israelfoɔ mu bɛsi ɛnnɛ.
Ale Yosua na Rahab, gbolo la kple eƒe ƒometɔ siwo nɔ egbɔ le eƒe aƒe me la tsi agbe, eye wotsi Israelviwo dome va se ɖe egbe, elabena Rahab ɣla ŋkutsala eve siwo Yosua ɖo ɖe Yeriko.
26 Saa ɛberɛ no, Yosua kaa saa nnome nsɛm yi: “Awurade nnome mmra obiara a ɔyɛ nʼadwene sɛ ɔbɛkyekyere Yeriko kuropɔn no bio. “Ɔde nʼabakan na ɛbɛhyɛ aseɛ, na ɔde nʼakumaa na ɛbɛsisi ano apono.”
Ɣe ma ɣi la, Yosua ka atam vevi sia be, “Ame si agbugbɔ Yeriko du sia atso la, fiƒode sia ava edzi le Yehowa ŋkume. Atsɔ Via ŋutsu ŋgɔgbetɔ aɖo eƒe gɔmeɖokpewoe, eye wòatsɔ via ɖevitɔ ƒe agbe atsɔ ade agbowo du la nu.”
27 Na Awurade kaa Yosua ho na ne din hyetaa asase no so nyinaa.
