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.

¹Laj Josué, li ralal laj Nun, toj Sitim quixtakla cuibeb laj qßuehol etal chi mukmu ut quixye reheb: —Ayukex xqßuebal retal li naßajej Canaán ut li tenamit Jericó, chan. Eb aßan queßcôeb ut queßcuulac saß rochoch jun li ixk xcomoneb li nequeßxcßayi rib, xRahab xcßabaß. Ut aran queßcana chixnumsinquil li kßojyîn.

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.

²Abanan cuan li queßyehoc resil re li rey li cuan Jericó. Ut queßxye: —Cuanqueb aj Israel xeßchal chixqßuebal retal li tenamit chiru li kßojyîn aßin, chanqueb.

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.

³Ut li rey quixtakla xyebal re lix Rahab: —Isiheb li cuînk aßan li cuanqueb saß lâ cuochoch xban nak eb aßan xeßchal chi qßuehoc etal, chan.

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:

⁴Abanan lix Rahab quixmukeb li cuînk ut quixye reheb li takl: —Yâl nak xeßcßulun li cuînk cuiqßuin. Abanan incßaß xinnau bar xeßchal chak.

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.

⁵Nak x-ecuu, xcôeb xban nak saß li ôr aßan nequeßxtzßap li oquebâl re li tenamit ut incßaß ninnau bar xcôeb. Cui lâex texxic chirixeb saß junpât mâre toxêtauheb, chan lix Rahab.

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.

⁶Abanan lix Rahab ac xtaklaheb li cuib chi cuînk saß xbên li cab bar yô cuiß chixchinanquil lix cheßel li acuîmk lino. Ut quixmukeb saß xyânk li lino.

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.

⁷Li cuînk li quixtaklaheb li rey chixtâkenquileb laj qßuehol etal côeb toj chire li nimaß Jordán bar incßaß cham li haß. Nak ac xeßcôeb li soldado li quixtaklaheb li rey, queßxtzßap li oquebâl re li tenamit.

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

⁸Nak toj mâjiß nequeßcuar laj qßuehol etal, cô lix Rahab saß xbên li cab chirilbaleb ut quixye reheb:

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.

⁹—Lâin ninnau nak li Kâcuaß xqßue êre li naßajej aßin. Ut aßan ajcuiß xqßuehoc kaxiu chikajunilo. Chixjunileb li cuanqueb arin câmqueb re xban xxiuheb êban lâex.

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.

¹⁰Lâo nakanau nak quex-el chak Egipto li Dios quixchakihobresi li haß saß li Caki Palau re nak texnumekß jun pacßal. Ut nakanau ajcuiß nak lâex quesach ruheb chi junaj cua li cuib chi rey laj Sehón ut laj Og, lix reyeb laj amorreo li cuanqueb jun pacßal li nimaß Jordán.

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.

¹¹Cßajoß nak coxucuac nak xkanau nak mâ ani naru napletic êriqßuin lâex xban nak li Kâcuaß lê Dios cuan xcuanquil saß choxa ut cuan ajcuiß xcuanquil saß ruchichßochß.

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:

¹²Joßcan nak lâin nintzßâma chêru nak têbânu li juramento saß xcßabaß li Kâcuaß lê Dios nak têbânu usilal reheb li cuechßalal joß nak xinbânu usilal êre lâin. Têqßue junak retalil cue re nak tinnau nak yâl nak têbânu li cßaßru yôquin chixtzßâmanquil chêru.

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.

¹³Checol rix xyußam lin naß ut lin yucuaß joß ajcuiß eb li cuas ut eb li cuîtzßin joß ixk joß cuînk ut chixjunil li cßaßruheb re. Choêcol taxak re nak incßaß tocâmk, chan lix Rahab.

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.

¹⁴Ut eb aßan queßxye: —Joß nak xacol rix li kayußam lâo, joßcan ajcuiß nak takacol rix lê yußam lâex cui mâ ani aj e tâye li cßaßru yôco chixbânunquil. Ut nak ac xkßaxtesi saß kukß li naßajej aßin li Kâcuaß, lâo takabânu usilal êre ut saß xyâlal tocuânk êriqßuin, chanqueb.

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.

¹⁵Li rochoch lix Rahab, aßan yîbanbil saß xbên li tzßac li sutsu cuiß li tenamit. Joßcan nak quixcubsiheb li cuînk saß li ventana riqßuin jun li nimla cßâm.

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.

¹⁶Ut quixye reheb: —Ayukex saß li naßajej li tzûl ru re nak incßaß textaßekß xbaneb li yôqueb chi sicßoc êre. Mukumak êrib aran chiru oxib cutan. Nak ac xeßsukßi chak li soldado saß li tenamit, naru nequexxic lâex, chan.

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

¹⁷Eb aßan queßchakßoc ut queßxye: —Lâo takabânu li cßaßru xkaye saß li juramento joß xatzßâma chiku.

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.

¹⁸Nak to-oc chirêchaninquil li tenamit aßin, lâat tâtßuyub li caki cßâm aßin saß li ventana, li xoâcubsi cuiß. Ut tâchßutubeb saß lâ cuochoch lâ naß ut lâ yucuaß rochbeneb lâ cuas ut eb lâ cuîtzßin, ut chixjunileb li cuanqueb saß rochoch lâ yucuaß.

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.

¹⁹Abanan cui tâêlk junak saß lâ cuochoch, aßan cuan xmâc cui nacam. Mâcuaß chic kamâc lâo. Lâo cuan kamâc cui junak nacuulac chixcamsinquil junak reheb li cuanqueb saß lâ cuochoch.

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

²⁰Cui lâat toâjit, lâo incßaß chic tento takabânu li cßaßru xkaye saß li juramento li xkabânu âcuiqßuin, chanqueb.

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.

²¹—Us. Joßcan takabânu, chan li ixk ut quixchakßrabiheb. Eb aßan queßcôeb. Chirix aßan li ixk quixbacß li caki cßâm saß lix ventana.

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.

²²Li cuibeb laj qßuehol etal queßcôeb saß li naßajej li tzûl ru ut aran queßxmuk ribeb chiru oxib cutan. Ut eb li soldado yôqueb chixsicßbal yalak bar. Ut mâ bar queßxtauheb. Joßcan nak queßsukßi Jericó eb li soldado.

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:

²³Ut eb laj qßuehol etal queßcube saß li naßajej li tzûl ru ut queßcôeb. Queßxkßax li nimaß Jordán ut coxeßxtau laj Josué. Queßxserakßi re li cßaßru queßxcßul.Queßxye re: —Li Kâcuaß xkßaxtesi saß kukß li naßajej aßan xban nak chixjunileb li cuanqueb saß li naßajej aßan câmqueb re xban xxiuheb kaban lâo, chanqueb.

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.

²⁴Queßxye re: —Li Kâcuaß xkßaxtesi saß kukß li naßajej aßan xban nak chixjunileb li cuanqueb saß li naßajej aßan câmqueb re xban xxiuheb kaban lâo, chanqueb.
