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.
1 Yasuwa Nun izo binde na boro hinka tunandi Sittim ra, k'i donton tuguyaŋ ra, sanda ma-cararayaŋ. A ne i se: «Wa koy ka laabo guna, hala nda Yeriko kwaara mo.» I koy mo ka furo kaaruwa fo windi ra kaŋ se i ga ne Rahab ka goro noodin.
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.
2 Yeriko koyo du baaru, i ne: «Ni ma bay kaŋ hunkuna cin boroyaŋ fun Israyla izey do. I kaa ne zama ngey ma laabo guna k'a gundo fintal.»
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.
3 Yeriko koyo mo donton Rahab do ka ne: «Ma alborey kaŋ yaŋ kaa ni do ka furo ni windo ra din kaa taray, zama i kaa no ngey ma laabo gundo kulu fintal se.»
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:
4 Kala waybora na alboro hinka din sambu, a n'i tugu. A ne: «Oho, alborey din kaa ay do, amma yana bay naŋ kaŋ no i fun.
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.
5 Hala kwaara birni meyo daabuyaŋ waate ga to alborey din fatta. Ay binde mana bay naŋ kaŋ haray no i gana. W'i gana nda waasi, zama araŋ g'i to.»
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.
6 Amma a jin k'i kaarandi fu beena daabirjo boŋ. A n'i tugu lin* kwaariyaŋ ra, kaŋ yaŋ a daaru fuwo beena daabirjo boŋ.
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.
7 Borey n'i banda gana Urdun fonda boŋ ka koy hala yawyaŋo do. I ganakoy fattanta mo i na kwaara birni meyo daabu.
8And before they were laid down, she came up unto them upon the roof;
8 Saaya kaŋ borey din ga ba ka jirbi, waybora kaaru i do beene, fuwo boŋ.
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 A ne i se: «Ay bay kaŋ Rabbi jin ka araŋ no laabo, araŋ humburkumay mo n'iri di. Laabo gorokoy kulu mo yay araŋ jine latak!
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.
10 Zama iri maa baaru mate kaŋ Rabbi na Teeku Cira haro koogandi nd'a araŋ jine, waato kaŋ cine araŋ fun Misira. Iri maa mo haŋ kaŋ araŋ te Amorancey bonkooni hinka din se, kaŋ yaŋ go Urdun daŋanta ya-haray, kaŋ yaŋ ga ti Sihon da Og, kaŋ yaŋ araŋ halaci parkatak.
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.
11 Baaro maayaŋo n'iri biney pati. Bine-gaabi kulu mana cindi boro kulu ra araŋ sabbay se. Zama Rabbi araŋ Irikoyo, nga no ga ti Irikoy beena ra beene, da ganda ndunnya ra mo.
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:
12 Sohõ binde, ay g'araŋ ŋwaaray, wa ze ay se da Rabbi maa. Za kaŋ ay na gomni te araŋ se, araŋ mo ma gomni te ay baaba windo se. W'ay no alaama cimikoy,
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.
13 kaŋ araŋ g'ay baabo d'ay nyaŋo, d'ay nya-ize arey da wayey, da hay kulu kaŋ go i se faaba nda fundi. Araŋ m'iri fundey faaba buuyaŋ gaa.»
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.
14 Alborey tu ka ne a se: «Iri fundey araŋ waney banandi. Da araŋ mana iri muraado wo bangandi, a ga ciya no, waati kaŋ Rabbi n'iri no laabo, iri mo ga gomni da cimi goy cabe ni se.»
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.
15 Waato din gaa no a n'i zure nda korfo fo finetaro gaa, zama a windo si kala birno cinaro boŋ. A go no mo ga goro cinaro boŋ.
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.
16 A ye ka ne i se: «Wa koy tondey do, zama araŋ ce ganakoy ma si araŋ to. Araŋ ma tugu noodin kala jirbi hinza, hala ce ganakoy ma ye ka kaa. Gaa no araŋ mo ma fonda di.»
17And the men said unto her, We will be blameless of this thine oath which thou hast made us swear.
17 Alborey binde ne a se: «Iri ga ciya fansanteyaŋ ni zeyaŋ wane do haray, kaŋ ni n'iri zeyandi nd'a.
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.
18 Guna, waati kaŋ iri ga kaa laabo ra, silli ciray korfo wo, kaŋ ni n'iri zure nd'a, ni m'a haw finetar wo gaa. Ni ma ni baabo, da ni nyaŋo, da ni nya-izey, da ni baaba almayaaley kulu margu ni windo ra.
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.
19 Da boro fo fun ni windo ra ka koy fonda ra, bora din kuro go a boŋ, iri ga ciya fansanteyaŋ mo. Amma boro kulu kaŋ go windo ra ni banda mo, boro fo kulu kaŋ n'i ham, a kuro alhakko go iri boŋ.
20And if thou utter this our business, then we will be quit of thine oath which thou hast made us to swear.
20 Amma da ni n'iri muraado wo bangandi, saaya din iri ga fansa ni zeyaŋo kaŋ ni n'iri zeyandi nd'a din gaa.»
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 Waybora ne: «Araŋ sanney boŋ, a ma ciya yaadin.» A n'i sallama, i koy mo. A na korfo cira haw finetaro gaa.
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.
22 I koy ka to tondo do. I kani jirbi hinza noodin, kal i ceecikoy ye ka kaa. I ceecikoy n'i ceeci nangu kulu fonda ra, amma i mana di ey.
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:
23 Waato din gaa no alboro hinka din mo bare ka zumbu ka fun tondo boŋ ka daŋandi. I kaa Yasuwa Nun ize do ka dede a se hay kulu kaŋ du ngey.
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.
24 I ne Yasuwa se: «Haciika Rabbi na laabo kulu daŋ iri kambe ra, hala baa laabo gorokoy kulu goono ga yay iri jine latak!»
