¹Now Jericho was straitly shut up because of the children of Israel: none went out, and none came in.

¹ I go no, Israyla izey na Yeriko me-d'a-me daabu. Boro kulu si fatta, boro kulu si furo.

²And the LORD said unto Joshua, See, I have given into thine hand Jericho, and the king thereof, and the mighty men of valor.

² Rabbi ne Yasuwa se mo: «Guna, ni kambe ra no ay na Yeriko d'a koyo, d'a soojey daŋ.

³And ye shall compass the city, all ye men of war, and go round about the city once. Thus shalt thou do six days.

³ Araŋ ga birno windi d'araŋ wongu borey kulu ka birno casu sorro fo. Jirbi iddu no ni ga woodin te.

⁴And seven priests shall bear before the ark seven trumpets of rams' horns: and the seventh day ye shall compass the city seven times, and the priests shall blow with the trumpets.

⁴ Alfaga iyye mo ga feeji hilli iyye sambu, i ma furo sundurko jine. Zaari iyyanta hane araŋ ma birno windi hala sorro iyye, alfagey go ga hilley kar.

⁵And it shall come to pass, that when they make a long blast with the ram's horn, and when ye hear the sound of the trumpet, all the people shall shout with a great shout; and the wall of the city shall fall down flat, and the people shall ascend up every man straight before him.

⁵ Waati kaŋ cine i na karyaŋo kuukandi, waati kaŋ araŋ mo maa hilley kaatiyaŋey, kala jama kulu ma ngey jindey tunandi nda gaabi ka kuuwa. Birno cinaro mo ga kaŋ, jama kulu mo ga kaaru, boro kulu nga jine tak-tak.»

⁶And Joshua the son of Nun called the priests, and said unto them, Take up the ark of the covenant, and let seven priests bear seven trumpets of rams' horns before the ark of the LORD.

⁶ Yasuwa Nun izo binde na alfagey ce ka ne i se: «Wa sappa sundurko sambu. Alfaga iyye mo ma feeji hilli iyye sambu. I ma furo Rabbi sundurko jine.»

⁷And he said unto the people, Pass on, and compass the city, and let him that is armed pass on before the ark of the LORD.

⁷ I ne jama se: «Wa bisa ka birno windi. Wongu jinaykoyey mo ma furo Rabbi sundurko jine.»

⁸And it came to pass, when Joshua had spoken unto the people, that the seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams' horns passed on before the LORD, and blew with the trumpets: and the ark of the covenant of the LORD followed them.

⁸ Saaya kaŋ cine Yasuwa salaŋ jama se binde, kala alfaga* iyye kaŋ yaŋ go ga feeji hilli iyya gaay Rabbi jine, i bisa ka furo jina ka hilley kar. Rabbi sappa sundurko mo go g'i banda gana.

⁹And the armed men went before the priests that blew with the trumpets, and the rearward came after the ark, the priests going on, and blowing with the trumpets.

⁹ Wongu jinaykoyey go alfaga hilli karey jine, banda borey go ga dake sundurko gaa. Alfagey mo go ga dira ka hilley kar.

¹⁰And Joshua had commanded the people, saying, Ye shall not shout, nor make any noise with your voice, neither shall any word proceed out of your mouth, until the day I bid you shout; then shall ye shout.

¹⁰ Yasuwa na borey lordi ka ne: «Araŋ ma si kuuwa, araŋ ma si ta i ma maa araŋ jindey mo. Sanni fo kulu mo ma si fun araŋ meyey ra, kala han kaŋ hane ay ci araŋ se ka ne: ‹Wa kuuwa!› A gaa no araŋ ga kuuwa.»

¹¹So the ark of the LORD compassed the city, going about it once: and they came into the camp, and lodged in the camp.

¹¹ Kala Yasuwa na Rabbi sundurko daŋ a ma birno casu. A n'a casu sorro fo ka ye ka kaa gata ra ka zumbu.

¹²And Joshua rose early in the morning, and the priests took up the ark of the LORD.

¹² Yasuwa tun za susubay da hinay, alfagey mo na Rabbi sundurko sambu.

¹³And seven priests bearing seven trumpets of rams' horns before the ark of the LORD went on continually, and blew with the trumpets: and the armed men went before them; but the rearward came after the ark of the LORD, the priests going on, and blowing with the trumpets.

¹³ Alfaga iyya kaŋ yaŋ go ga feeji hilli iyya jare Rabbi sundurko jine, i soobay ka dira jine, i go ga hilley kar. Wongu jinaykoyey go i jine, banda waney mo go ga dake Rabbi sundurko gaa. Alfagey ga dira ka hilley kar.

¹⁴And the second day they compassed the city once, and returned into the camp: so they did six days.

¹⁴ Jirbi hinkanta i na birno casu ce fo, gaa no i ye ka kaa dunkayo do. Yaadin no i te kala zaari iddu.

¹⁵And it came to pass on the seventh day, that they rose early about the dawning of the day, and compassed the city after the same manner seven times: only on that day they compassed the city seven times.

¹⁵ A ciya mo, zaari iyyanta hane, i tun da hinay za mo boyaŋ. I na birno casu alhaali woodin boŋ hala sorro iyye. Zaari woodin hinne no i na birno casu sorro iyye.

¹⁶And it came to pass at the seventh time, when the priests blew with the trumpets, Joshua said unto the people, Shout; for the LORD hath given you the city.

¹⁶ A ciya mo, sorro iyyanta waate day, waato kaŋ cine alfagey na hilley kar, Yasuwa ne borey se: «Wa kuuwa! zama Rabbi na birno no araŋ se.

¹⁷And the city shall be accursed, even it, and all that are therein, to the LORD: only Rahab the harlot shall live, she and all that are with her in the house, because she hid the messengers that we sent.

¹⁷ Birno ga ciya Rabbi wane, laaliyaŋ hari no araŋ se, nga nda hay kulu kaŋ go a ra. Rahab hinne, kaaruwa din, nga no ga funa, nga nda borey kaŋ yaŋ go a banda windo ra kulu, zama a na diyey kaŋ iri donton yaŋ din tugu.

¹⁸And ye, in any wise keep yourselves from the accursed thing, lest ye make yourselves accursed, when ye take of the accursed thing, and make the camp of Israel a curse, and trouble it.

¹⁸ Araŋ mo, kala araŋ ma araŋ boŋ haggoy da laaliyaŋ haro din. A ma si ciya, waato kaŋ araŋ n'a ciya laaliyaŋ hari, a banda araŋ ma ye ka kaa a gaa koyne. Yaadin gaa araŋ ga Israyla marga te laalante k'a taabandi mo.

¹⁹But all the silver, and gold, and vessels of brass and iron, are consecrated unto the LORD: they shall come into the treasury of the LORD.

¹⁹ Amma nzarfu kulu, da wura da guuru-ciray jinayey, da guuru-bi wane -- ngey wo hananteyaŋ no Rabbi se. I ga kand'ey Rabbi jisiri nango ra.»

²⁰So the people shouted when the priests blew with the trumpets: and it came to pass, when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, and the people shouted with a great shout, that the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they took the city.

²⁰ Borey binde kuuwa ka ne: «Yiihu!» Alfagey mo na hilley kar. A te ka ciya binde, saaya kaŋ cine borey maa hilli kaatiyaŋey, i na jinde sambu ka te «Yiihu!» da jinde beeri, kala birni cinaro mo kulu taŋ ka gusam ganda parkatak! Kala borey kaaru ka furo, boro kulu nga jine ka birno ŋwa.

²¹And they utterly destroyed all that was in the city, both man and woman, young and old, and ox, and sheep, and ass, with the edge of the sword.

²¹ Hay kulu kaŋ go birno ra, i n'i halaci saray: alboro nda wayboro zankey da arkusu zeeney, haw da feeji da farkayey. I n'i kulu halaci da takuba.

²²But Joshua had said unto the two men that had spied out the country, Go into the harlot's house, and bring out thence the woman, and all that she hath, as ye sware unto her.

²² Yasuwa ne boro hinka kaŋ yaŋ na laabo windi din se: «Wa furo wayboro kaaruwa din windo ra. Araŋ ma waybora da hay kulu kaŋ go a se kaa taray, danga mate kaŋ cine araŋ ze a se d'a.»

²³And the young men that were spies went in, and brought out Rahab, and her father, and her mother, and her brethren, and all that she had; and they brought out all her kindred, and left them without the camp of Israel.

²³ Ma-carare sahãkooney din binde furo Rahab windo ra. I na Rahab d'a baabo, d'a nyaŋo, d'a nya-ka-fo-siney, da hay kulu kaŋ go a se, d'a dumey kulu mo kaa taray. I n'i kaa taray k'i ye Israyla borey banda.

²⁴And they burnt the city with fire, and all that was therein: only the silver, and the gold, and the vessels of brass and of iron, they put into the treasury of the house of the LORD.

²⁴ I na birno ton da danji, nga nda hay kulu kaŋ go birno ra. Kala day nzarfu da wura da guuru-ciray jinayey, da guuru-bi waney, i na woodin yaŋ jisi Rabbi jisiri nango ra.

²⁵And Joshua saved Rahab the harlot alive, and her father's household, and all that she had; and she dwelleth in Israel even unto this day; because she hid the messengers, which Joshua sent to spy out Jericho.

²⁵ Amma kaaruwa Rahab da nga baabo almayaaley, da hay kulu kaŋ go a se, Yasuwa n'i naŋ da fundi. A goro mo Israyla game ra, hala ka kaa sohõ, zama nga no ka diyey kaŋ yaŋ Yasuwa donton i ma koy ka Yeriko guna din tugu.

²⁶And Joshua adjured them at that time, saying, Cursed be the man before the LORD, that riseth up and buildeth this city Jericho: he shall lay the foundation thereof in his firstborn, and in his youngest son shall he set up the gates of it.

²⁶ Yasuwa ye ka sanno da zeyaŋo gaabandi i se koyne alwaati woodin ra ka ne: «Laalante no Rabbi jine, bora kaŋ tun ka ne nga ga birni woone Yeriko cina: A hay-jine mursay no a g'a daba cina nd'a. A ize koda mursay mo no a g'a me-daabirjey sinji nd'a.»

²⁷So the LORD was with Joshua; and his fame was noised throughout all the country.

²⁷ Yaadin no Rabbi go Yasuwa banda, a maa baaro mo koy laabo ra nangu kulu.
