< Joshua 6 >

1 Wàyí o, a ti há Jeriko mọ́lé gágá nítorí àwọn ọmọ Israẹli, ẹnikẹ́ni kò jáde, ẹnikẹ́ni kò sì wọlé.
Now Jericho was closely shut up and besieged, and none went out of it, and none came in.
2 Nígbà náà ni Olúwa wí fún Joṣua pé, “Wò ó, mo ti fi Jeriko lé ọ lọ́wọ́ pẹ̀lú ọba rẹ̀ àti àwọn jagunjagun rẹ̀.
And the Lord said to Joshua, Behold, I deliver Jericho into your power, and its king in it, [and its] mighty men.
3 Ẹ wọ́de ogun yí ìlú náà ká lẹ́ẹ̀kan pẹ̀lú gbogbo àwọn jagunjagun. Ẹ ṣe èyí fún ọjọ́ mẹ́fà.
And do you set the men of war round about it.
4 Jẹ́ kí àwọn àlùfáà méje gbé fèrè ìwo àgbò ní iwájú àpótí ẹ̀rí. Ní ọjọ́ keje, ẹ wọ́de ogun yí ìlú náà ká ní ìgbà méje, pẹ̀lú àwọn àlùfáà tí ń fọn fèrè.
And it shall be [that] when you shall sound with the trumpet, all the people shall shout together.
5 Nígbà tí ẹ bá gbọ́ ohùn fèrè náà, kí àwọn ènìyàn hó yèè ní igbe ńlá, nígbà náà ni odi ìlú náà yóò sì wó lulẹ̀, àwọn ènìyàn yóò sì lọ sí òkè, olúkúlùkù yóò sì wọ inú rẹ̀ lọ tààrà.”
And when they have shouted, the walls of the city shall fall of themselves; and all the people shall enter, each one rushing direct into the city.
6 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Joṣua ọmọ Nuni pe àwọn àlùfáà ó sì wí fún wọn pé, “Ẹ gbé àpótí ẹ̀rí Olúwa náà kí àwọn àlùfáà méje tí ó ru fèrè ìwo wà ní iwájú u rẹ̀.”
And Joshua the [son] of Naue went in to the priests, and spoke to them, saying,
7 Ó sì pàṣẹ fún àwọn ènìyàn náà pé, “Ẹ lọ, kí ẹ sì yí ìlú náà ká pẹ̀lú àwọn olùṣọ́ tí ó hámọ́ra kọjá ní iwájú àpótí ẹ̀rí Olúwa.”
And let seven priests having seven sacred trumpets proceed thus before the Lord, and let them sound loudly; and let the ark of the covenant of the Lord follow.
8 Nígbà tí Joṣua ti bá àwọn ènìyàn sọ̀rọ̀ tán, àwọn àlùfáà méje tí wọ́n gbé fèrè méje ní iwájú Olúwa kọjá sí iwájú, wọ́n sì fọn fèrè wọn, àpótí ẹ̀rí Olúwa sì tẹ̀lé wọn.
Charge the people to go round, and encompass the city; and let your men of war pass on armed before the Lord.
9 Àwọn olùṣọ tí ó hámọ́ra sì lọ níwájú àwọn àlùfáà tí ń fọn fèrè, olùṣọ́ ẹ̀yìn sì tẹ̀lé àpótí ẹ̀rí náà. Ní gbogbo àsìkò yìí fèrè sì ń dún.
And let the men of war proceed before, and the priests bringing up the rear behind the ark of the covenant of the Lord [proceed] sounding the trumpets.
10 Ṣùgbọ́n Joṣua tí pàṣẹ fún àwọn ènìyàn pé, “Ẹ kò gbọdọ̀ kígbe ogun, ẹ kò gbọdọ̀ gbé ohùn yín sókè, ẹ má ṣe sọ ọ̀rọ̀ kan títí ọjọ́ tí èmi yóò sọ fún un yín pé kí ẹ hó. Nígbà náà ni ẹ̀yin yóò sì hó!”
And Joshua commanded the people, saying, Cry not out, nor let any one hear your voice, until he himself declare to you the time to cry out, and then you shall cry out.
11 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ó mú kí àpótí ẹ̀rí Olúwa yí ìlú náà ká, ó sì yí i ká lẹ́ẹ̀kan. Nígbà náà ni àwọn ènìyàn náà padà sí ibùdó, wọ́n sì gbé ibẹ̀ fún alẹ́ náà.
And the ark of the covenant of God having gone round immediately returned into the camp, and lodged there.
12 Joṣua sì dìde ní kùtùkùtù òwúrọ̀ ọjọ́ kejì, àwọn àlùfáà sì gbé àpótí ẹ̀rí Olúwa.
And on the second day Joshua rose up in the morning, and the priests took up the ark of the covenant of the Lord.
13 Àwọn àlùfáà méje tí ó gbé ìpè ìwo àgbò méje ń lọ níwájú àpótí ẹ̀rí Olúwa, wọ́n sì ń fọ́n àwọn ìpè: àwọn tí ó hámọ́ra ogun ń lọ níwájú u wọn; àwọn ọmọ tó wà lẹ́yìn sì ń tọ àpótí ẹ̀rí Olúwa lẹ́yìn, àwọn àlùfáà sì ń fọn ìpè bí wọ́n ti ń lọ.
And the seven priests bearing the seven trumpets went on before the Lord; and afterwards the men of war went on, and the remainder of the multitude went after the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and the priests sounded with the trumpets.
14 Ní ọjọ́ kejì, wọ́n yí ìlú náà ká lẹ́ẹ̀kan wọ́n sì padà sí ibùdó. Wọ́n sì ṣe èyí fún ọjọ́ mẹ́fà.
And all the rest of the multitude compassed the city six times from within a short distance, and went back again into the camp; this they did six days.
15 Ní ọjọ́ keje, wọ́n dìde ní kùtùkùtù òwúrọ̀ ní àfẹ̀mọ́júmọ́, wọ́n sì wọ́de ogun yí ìlú náà ká ní ìgbà méje, gẹ́gẹ́ bí i ti ìṣáájú, ní ọjọ́ keje nìkan ṣoṣo ni wọ́n wọ́de ogun yí ìlú náà ká nígbà méje.
And on the seventh day they rose up early, and compassed the city on that day seven times.
16 Ní ìgbà keje, nígbà tí àwọn àlùfáà fọn fèrè, Joṣua pàṣẹ fún àwọn ènìyàn pé, “Ẹ hó! Nítorí pé Olúwa ti fún un yín ní ìlú náà.
And it came to pass at the seventh circuit the priests blew the trumpets; and Joshua said to the children of Israel, Shout, for the Lord has given you the city.
17 Ìlú náà àti gbogbo ohun tí ó wà níbẹ̀ ni yóò jẹ́ ìyàsọ́tọ̀ fún Olúwa. Rahabu tí ó jẹ́ panṣágà nìkan àti gbogbo àwọn tí ó wà pẹ̀lú u rẹ̀ ni a ó dá sí; nítorí tí ó pa àwọn ayọ́lẹ̀wò tí á rán mọ́.
And the city shall be devoted, it and all things that are in it, to the Lord of Hosts: only do you save Raab the harlot, and all things in her house.
18 Ẹ pa ara yín mọ́ kúrò nínú ohun ìyàsọ́tọ̀ fún ìparun, kí ẹ̀yin kí ó má ba à ṣojú kòkòrò nípa mímú nínú àwọn ohun ìyàsọ́tọ̀. Bí kò ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀ ẹ ó sọ ibùdó Israẹli di ìparun. Kí ẹ sì mú wàhálà wá sórí i rẹ̀.
But keep yourselves strictly from the accursed thing, lest you set your mind upon and take of the accursed thing, and you make the camp of the children of Israel and accursed thing, and destroy us.
19 Gbogbo fàdákà àti wúrà àti ohun èlò idẹ àti irin jẹ́ mímọ́ fún Olúwa, wọ́n yóò wá sínú ìṣúra Olúwa.”
And all the silver, or gold, or brass, or iron, shall be holy to the Lord; it shall be carried into the treasury of the Lord.
20 Nígbà tí àwọn àlùfáà fọn ìpè, àwọn ènìyàn náà sì hó. Ó sì ṣe, bí àwọn ènìyàn ti gbọ́ ìró ìpè, tí àwọn ènìyàn sì hó ìhó ńlá, odi ìlú náà wó lulẹ̀ bẹẹrẹ; bẹ́ẹ̀ ni olúkúlùkù ya wọ inú ìlú náà lọ tààrà, wọ́n sì kó ìlú náà.
And the priests sounded with the trumpets: and when the people heard the trumpets, all the people shouted at once with a loud and strong shout; and all the wall fell round about, and all the people went up into the city:
21 Wọ́n ya ìlú náà sọ́tọ̀ fún Olúwa àti fún ìparun, wọ́n sì fi idà run gbogbo ohun alààyè ní ìlú náà—ọkùnrin àti obìnrin, ọ́mọdé, àti àgbà, màlúù, àgùntàn àti kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́.
and Joshua devoted it to destruction, and all things that were in the city, man and woman, young man and old, and calf and ass, with the edge of the sword.
22 Joṣua sì sọ fún àwọn ọkùnrin méjì tí wọ́n ti wá ṣe ayọ́lẹ̀wò ilẹ̀ náà pé, “Ẹ lọ sí ilé panṣágà nì, kí ẹ sì mu jáde àti gbogbo ohun tí í ṣe tirẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ẹ tí búra fún un.”
And Joshua said to the two young men who had acted a spies, Go into the house of the woman, and bring her out thence, and all that she has.
23 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ní àwọn ọ̀dọ́mọkùnrin tí ó lọ ṣe ayọ́lẹ̀wò wọlé lọ, wọ́n sì mú Rahabu jáde, baba rẹ̀, ìyá rẹ̀, àwọn arákùnrin rẹ̀ àti ohun gbogbo tí ó ní. Wọ́n sì mú gbogbo ìdílé rẹ̀ jáde, wọ́n sì fi wọ́n sí ibìkan ní ìta ibùdó àwọn ará Israẹli.
And the two young men who had spied out the city entered into the house of the woman, and brought out Raab the harlot, and her father, and her mother, and her brethren, and her kindred, and all that she had; and they set her without the camp of Israel.
24 Nígbà náà ni wọ́n sun gbogbo ìlú náà àti gbogbo ohun tí ó wà nínú u rẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n wọ́n fi fàdákà, wúrà ohun èlò idẹ àti irin sínú ìṣúra ilé Olúwa.
And the city was burnt with fire with all things that were in it; only of the silver, and gold, and brass, and iron, they gave to be brought into the treasury of the Lord.
25 Ṣùgbọ́n Joṣua dá Rahabu panṣágà pẹ̀lú gbogbo ìdílé e rẹ̀ àti gbogbo ẹni tí í ṣe tirẹ̀ sí nítorí pé, ó pa àwọn ọkùnrin tí Joṣua rán gẹ́gẹ́ bí ayọ́lẹ̀wò sí Jeriko mọ́. Ó sì ń gbé láàrín ará Israẹli títí di òní yìí.
And Joshua saved alive Raab the harlot, and all the house of her father, and caused her to dwell in Israel until this day, because she hid the spies which Joshua sent to spy out Jericho.
26 Ní àkókò náà Joṣua sì búra pé, “Ègún ni fún ẹni náà níwájú Olúwa tí yóò dìde, tí yóò sì tún ìlú Jeriko kọ́: “Pẹ̀lú ikú àkọ́bí ọmọ rẹ̀ ni yóò fi pilẹ̀ rẹ̀; ikú àbíkẹ́yìn rẹ̀ ní yóò fi gbé ìlẹ̀kùn bodè rẹ̀ ró.”
And Joshua adjured [them] on that day before the Lord, saying, Cursed [be] the man who shall build that city: he shall lay the foundation of it in his firstborn, and he shall set up the gates of it in his youngest son. And so did Hozan of Baethel; he laid the foundation in Abiron his firstborn, and set up the gates of it in his youngest surviving son.
27 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Olúwa wà pẹ̀lú Joṣua; òkìkí rẹ̀ sì kàn ká gbogbo ilẹ̀ náà.
And the Lord was with Joshua, and his name was in all the land.
