Joshua 2
1 Nígbà náà ni Joṣua ọmọ Nuni rán àwọn ayọ́lẹ̀wò méjì jáde ní àṣírí láti Ṣittimu. Ó sì wí pé, “Ẹ lọ wo ilẹ̀ náà, pàápàá Jeriko.” Wọ́n sì lọ, wọ́n wọ ilé panṣágà kan, tí à ń pè ní Rahabu wọ́n sì dúró síbẹ̀.
And Joshua the son of Naue sent out of Sattin two young men to spy [the land], saying, Go up and view the land and Jericho: and the two young men went and entered into Jericho; and they entered into the house of a harlot, whose name [was] Raab, and lodged there.
2 A sì sọ fún ọba Jeriko, “Wò ó! Àwọn ará Israẹli kan wá ibí ní alẹ́ yìí láti wá yọ́ ilẹ̀ yí wò.”
An it was reported to the king of Jericho, saying, Men of the sons of Israel have come in hither to spy the land.
3 Ọba Jeriko sì ránṣẹ́ sí Rahabu pé, “Mú àwọn ọkùnrin nì tí ó tọ̀ ọ́ wá, tí ó wọ inú ilé rẹ jáde wá, nítorí wọ́n wá láti yọ́ gbogbo ilẹ̀ yìí wò ni.”
And the king of Jericho sent and spoke to Raab, saying, Bring out the men that entered into your house this night; for they are come to spy out the land.
4 Ṣùgbọ́n obìnrin náà ti mú àwọn ọkùnrin méjì náà o sì fi wọ́n pamọ́. Ó sì wí pé, “Lóòtítọ́ ní àwọn ọkùnrin náà wá sí ọ̀dọ̀ mi, ṣùgbọ́n èmi kò mọ ibi tí wọ́n ti wá.
And the woman took the two men and hid them; and she spoke to the messengers, saying, The men came in to me,
5 Nígbà tí ilẹ̀ ṣú, nígbà tí ó tó àkókò láti ti ìlẹ̀kùn ẹnu ibodè, àwọn ọkùnrin náà sì jáde lọ. Èmi kò sì mọ ọ̀nà tí wọ́n gbà lọ. Ẹ lépa wọn kíákíá. Ẹ̀yin yóò bá wọn.”
but when the gate was shut in the evening, the men went out; I know not whither they are gone: follow after them, if you may overtake them.
6 (Ṣùgbọ́n ó ti mú wọn gòkè àjà ó sì fi wọ́n pamọ́ sí abẹ́ pòròpòrò ọkà tó tò jọ sí orí àjà.)
But she [had] brought them up upon the house, and hid them in the flax-stalks that were spread by her on the house.
7 Àwọn ọkùnrin náà jáde lọ láti lépa àwọn ayọ́lẹ̀wò náà ní ọ̀nà tí ó lọ sí ìwọdò Jordani, bí àwọn tí ń lépa wọn sì ti jáde, wọ́n ti ìlẹ̀kùn ẹnu ibodè.
And the men followed after them in the way to Jordan to the fords; and the gate was shut.
8 Kí àwọn ayọ́lẹ̀wò náà tó sùn ní alẹ́, ó gòkè tọ̀ wọ́n lọ lókè àjà.
And it came to pass when the men who pursued after them were gone forth, and before the spies had lain down to sleep, that she came up to them on the top of the house;
9 Ó sì sọ fún wọn, “Èmi mọ̀ pé Olúwa ti fún un yín ní ilẹ̀ yìí àti pé ẹ̀rù u yín ti sọ wá di ojo dé ibi pé ìdí gbogbo àwọn tí ó n gbé ilẹ̀ yìí ti di omi nítorí i yín.
and she said to them, I know that the Lord has given you the land; for the fear of you has fallen upon us.
10 Àwa ti gbọ́ bí Olúwa ti mú omi Òkun Pupa gbẹ níwájú u yín nígbà tí ẹ̀yin jáde kúrò ní ilẹ̀ Ejibiti, àti ohun tí ẹ̀yin ṣe sí Sihoni àti Ogu, àwọn ọba méjèèjì ti Amori ti ìlà-oòrùn Jordani, tí ẹ̀yin parun pátápátá.
For we have heard that the Lord God dried up the Red Sea before you, when you came out of the land of Egypt, and all that he did to the two kings of the Amorites, who were beyond Jordan, to Seon and Og, whom you utterly destroyed.
11 Bí a ti gbọ́ nǹkan wọ̀nyí, ọkàn wa pami kò sì sí okun kankan fún wa mọ́ nítorí i yín, nítorí pé Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín ni Ọlọ́run ní òkè ọ̀run àti ní ayé.
And when we heard it we were amazed in our heart, and there was no longer any spirit in any of us because of you, for the Lord your god [is] God in heaven above, and on the earth beneath.
12 Ǹjẹ́ nísinsin yìí, ẹ jọ̀wọ́ ẹ búra fún mi ní ti Olúwa pé ẹ̀yin yóò ṣe àánú fún ìdílé mi, nítorí pé mo ti ṣe yín ní oore. Ẹ̀yin yóò fún mi ní àmì tó dájú:
And now swear to me by the Lord God; since I deal mercifully with you, so do you also deal mercifully with the house of my father:
13 pé ẹ̀yin yóò dá ẹ̀mí baba àti ìyá mi sí; arákùnrin mi àti arábìnrin mi, àti ohun gbogbo tí wọ́n ní, àti pé ẹ̀yin yóò gbà wá là lọ́wọ́ ikú.”
and save alive the house of my father, my mother, and my brethren, and all my house, and all that they have, and you shall rescue my soul from death.
14 “Ẹ̀mí wa fún ẹ̀mí in yín!” àwọn ọkùnrin náà mú dá a lójú. “Tí ìwọ kò bá sọ ohun tí àwa ń ṣe, àwa yóò sì fi òtítọ́ àti àánú bá ọ lò nígbà tí Olúwa bá fún wa ní ilẹ̀ náà.”
And the men said to her, Our life for yours [even] to death: and she said, When the Lord shall have delivered the city to you, you shall deal mercifully and truly with me.
15 Nígbà náà ní ó fi okùn sọ̀ wọ́n kalẹ̀ ní ojú u fèrèsé, nítorí ilé tí ó ń gbé wà ní ara odi ìlú.
And she let them down by the window;
16 Ó sì ti sọ fún wọn pé, “Ẹ lọ sí orí òkè, kí ẹ sì fi ara pamọ́ níbẹ̀ fún ọjọ́ mẹ́ta kí àwọn tí ń lépa yín má ba à rí i yín títí tí wọn yóò fi darí. Lẹ́yìn náà kí ẹ máa bá ọ̀nà yín lọ.”
and she said to them, Depart into the hill-country, lest the pursuers meet you, and you shall be hidden there three days until your pursuers return from after you, and afterwards you shall depart on your way.
17 Àwọn arákùnrin náà sì sọ fún un pé, “Kí ọrùn un wa ba à lè mọ́ kúrò nínú ìbúra tí ìwọ mú wa bú yìí.
And the men said to her, We are clear of this your oath.
18 Nígbà tí àwa bá wọ ilé è rẹ, ìwọ yóò so okùn aláwọ̀ aró yìí sí ojú fèrèsé èyí tí ìwọ fi sọ̀ wá kalẹ̀, kí ìwọ kí ó mú baba rẹ, ìyá rẹ, àwọn arákùnrin in rẹ àti gbogbo ìdílé è rẹ kí wọ́n wá sí inú ilé è rẹ.
Behold, we shall enter into a part of the city, and you shall set a sign; you shall bind this scarlet cord in the window, by which you have let us down, and you shall bring in to yourself, into your house, your father, and your mother, and your brethren, and all the family of your father.
19 Bí ẹnikẹ́ni bá jáde sí ìta láti inú ilé è rẹ sí inú ìgboro ìlú, ẹ̀jẹ̀ rẹ̀ yóò sì wà ní orí ara rẹ̀; ẹ̀bi rẹ̀ yóò sì wà lórí i rẹ̀. Fún ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá wà nínú ilé pẹ̀lú rẹ, ẹ̀jẹ̀ rẹ̀ yóò wà ní orí i wa bí ẹnikẹ́ni bá fi ọwọ́ kàn án.
And it shall come to pass that whoever shall go outside the door of your house, his guilt shall be upon him, and we shall be quit of this your oath; and we will be responsible for all that shall be found with you in your house.
20 Ṣùgbọ́n bí ìwọ bá sọ ohun tí àwa ń ṣe, àwa yóò bọ́ nínú ìbúra tí ìwọ mú wa bú.”
But if any one should injure us, or betray these our matters, we shall be quit of this your oath.
21 Ó dáhùn pé, “Ó dára bẹ́ẹ̀. Ẹ jẹ́ kí ó rí gẹ́gẹ́ bí ẹ̀yin tí sọ.” Ó sì rán wọn lọ wọ́n sì lọ. Ó sì so okùn òdòdó náà sí ojú fèrèsé.
And she said to them, Let it be according to your word; and she sent them out, and they departed.
22 Nígbà tí wọ́n kúrò, wọ́n sì lọ sí orí òkè wọ́n sì dúró ní ibẹ̀ ní ọjọ́ mẹ́ta, títí àwọn alépa fi wá wọn ní gbogbo ọ̀nà wọ́n sì padà láìrí wọn.
And they came to the hill-country, and remained there three days; and the pursuers searched all the roads, and found them not.
23 Nígbà náà ni àwọn ọkùnrin méjì náà padà. Wọ́n sì sọ̀kalẹ̀ láti orí òkè, wọ odò, wọ́n sì wá sí ọ̀dọ̀ Joṣua ọmọ Nuni wọ́n sì sọ fún un gbogbo ohun tí ó ti ṣẹlẹ̀ sí wọn.
And the two young men returned, and came down out of the mountain; and they went over to Joshua the son of Naue, and told him all things that had happened to them.
24 Wọ́n sì sọ fún Joṣua, “Nítòótọ́ ni Olúwa tí fi gbogbo ilẹ̀ náà lé wa lọ́wọ́; gbogbo olùgbé ilẹ̀ náà ni ìbẹ̀rùbojo ti mú nítorí i wa.”
And they said to Joshua, The Lord has delivered all the land into our power, and all the inhabitants of that land tremble because of us.
