¹And Joshua the son of Nun sent out of Shittim two men to spy secretly, saying, Go view the land, even Jericho. And they went, and came into an harlot's house, named Rahab, and lodged there.

¹فارسل يشوع بن نون من شطّيم رجلين جاسوسين سرّا قائلا اذهبا انظرا الارض واريحا. فذهبا ودخلا بيت امرأة زانية اسمها راحاب واضطجعا هناك.

²And it was told the king of Jericho, saying, Behold, there came men in hither to night of the children of Israel to search out the country.

²فقيل لملك اريحا هوذا قد دخل الى هنا الليلة رجلان من بني اسرائيل لكي يتجسّسا الارض.

³And the king of Jericho sent unto Rahab, saying, Bring forth the men that are come to thee, which are entered into thine house: for they be come to search out all the country.

³فارسل ملك اريحا الى راحاب يقول اخرجي الرجلين اللذين أتيا اليك ودخلا بيتك لانهما قد أتيا لكي يتجسّسا الارض كلها.

⁴And the woman took the two men, and hid them, and said thus, There came men unto me, but I wist not whence they were:

⁴فاخذت المرأة الرجلين وخبّأتهما وقالت نعم جاء اليّ الرجلان ولم اعلم من اين هما.

⁵And it came to pass about the time of shutting of the gate, when it was dark, that the men went out: whither the men went I wot not: pursue after them quickly; for ye shall overtake them.

⁵وكان نحو انغلاق الباب في الظلام انه خرج الرجلان. لست اعلم اين ذهب الرجلان. اسعوا سريعا وراءهما حتى تدركوهما.

⁶But she had brought them up to the roof of the house, and hid them with the stalks of flax, which she had laid in order upon the roof.

⁶واما هي فاطلعتهما على السطح ووارتهما بين عيدان كتان لها منضّدة على السطح.

⁷And the men pursued after them the way to Jordan unto the fords: and as soon as they which pursued after them were gone out, they shut the gate.

⁷فسعى القوم وراءهما في طريق الاردن الى المخاوض. وحالما خرج الذين سعوا وراءهما اغلقوا الباب.

⁸And before they were laid down, she came up unto them upon the roof;

⁸واما هما فقبل ان يضطجعا صعدت اليهما الى السطح

⁹And she said unto the men, I know that the LORD hath given you the land, and that your terror is fallen upon us, and that all the inhabitants of the land faint because of you.

⁹وقالت للرجلين علمت ان الرب قد اعطاكم الارض وان رعبكم قد وقع علينا وان جميع سكان الارض ذابوا من اجلكم.

¹⁰For we have heard how the LORD dried up the water of the Red sea for you, when ye came out of Egypt; and what ye did unto the two kings of the Amorites, that were on the other side Jordan, Sihon and Og, whom ye utterly destroyed.

¹⁰لاننا قد سمعنا كيف يبّس الرب مياه بحر سوف قدامكم عند خروجكم من مصر وما عملتموه بملكي الاموريين اللذين في عبر الاردن سيحون وعوج اللذين حرّمتموهما.

¹¹And as soon as we had heard these things, our hearts did melt, neither did there remain any more courage in any man, because of you: for the LORD your God, he is God in heaven above, and in earth beneath.

¹¹سمعنا فذابت قلوبنا ولم تبق بعد روح في انسان بسببكم. لان الرب الهكم هو الله في السماء من فوق وعلى الارض من تحت.

¹²Now therefore, I pray you, swear unto me by the LORD, since I have showed you kindness, that ye will also show kindness unto my father's house, and give me a true token:

¹²فالآن احلفا لي بالرب واعطياني علامة امانة. لاني قد عملت معكما معروفا. بان تعملا انتما ايضا مع بيت ابي معروفا.

¹³And that ye will save alive my father, and my mother, and my brethren, and my sisters, and all that they have, and deliver our lives from death.

¹³وتستحييا ابي وامي واخوتي واخواتي وكل ما لهم وتخلّصا انفسنا من الموت.

¹⁴And the men answered her, Our life for yours, if ye utter not this our business. And it shall be, when the LORD hath given us the land, that we will deal kindly and truly with thee.

¹⁴فقال لها الرجلان نفسنا عوضكم للموت ان لم تفشوا امرنا هذا. ويكون اذا اعطانا الرب الارض اننا نعمل معك معروفا وامانة.

¹⁵Then she let them down by a cord through the window: for her house was upon the town wall, and she dwelt upon the wall.

¹⁵فانزلتهما بحبل من الكوّة لان بيتها بحائط السور وهي سكنت بالسور.

¹⁶And she said unto them, Get you to the mountain, lest the pursuers meet you; and hide yourselves there three days, until the pursuers be returned: and afterward may ye go your way.

¹⁶وقالت لهما اذهبا الى الجبل لئلا يصادفكما السعاة واختبئا هناك ثلاثة ايام حتى يرجع السعاة ثم اذهبا في طريقكما.

¹⁷And the men said unto her, We will be blameless of this thine oath which thou hast made us swear.

¹⁷فقال لها الرجلان نحن بريئان من يمينك هذا الذي حلّفتنا به.

¹⁸Behold, when we come into the land, thou shalt bind this line of scarlet thread in the window which thou didst let us down by: and thou shalt bring thy father, and thy mother, and thy brethren, and all thy father's household, home unto thee.

¹⁸هوذا نحن نأتي الى الارض فاربطي هذا الحبل من خيوط القرمز في الكوّة التي انزلتنا منها واجمعي اليك في البيت اباك وامّك واخوتك وسائر بيت ابيك.

¹⁹And it shall be, that whosoever shall go out of the doors of thy house into the street, his blood shall be upon his head, and we will be guiltless: and whosoever shall be with thee in the house, his blood shall be on our head, if any hand be upon him.

¹⁹فيكون ان كل من يخرج من ابواب بيتك الى خارج فدمه على راسه ونحن نكون بريئين. واما كل من يكون معك في البيت فدمه على راسنا اذا وقعت عليه يد.

²⁰And if thou utter this our business, then we will be quit of thine oath which thou hast made us to swear.

²⁰وان افشيت امرنا هذا نكون بريئين من حلفك الذي حلّفتنا.

²¹And she said, According unto your words, so be it. And she sent them away, and they departed: and she bound the scarlet line in the window.

²¹فقالت هو هكذا حسب كلامكما. وصرفتهما فذهبا. وربطت حبل القرمز في الكوّة.

²²And they went, and came unto the mountain, and abode there three days, until the pursuers were returned: and the pursuers sought them throughout all the way, but found them not.

²²فانطلقا وجاءا الى الجبل ولبثا هناك ثلاثة ايام حتى رجع السعاة. وفتش السعاة في كل الطريق فلم يجدوهما.

²³So the two men returned, and descended from the mountain, and passed over, and came to Joshua the son of Nun, and told him all things that befell them:

²³ثم رجع الرجلان ونزلا عن الجبل وعبرا وأتيا الى يشوع بن نون وقصّا عليه كل ما اصابهما.

²⁴And they said unto Joshua, Truly the LORD hath delivered into our hands all the land; for even all the inhabitants of the country do faint because of us.

²⁴وقالا ليشوع ان الرب قد دفع بيدنا الارض كلها وقد ذاب كل سكان الارض بسببنا
