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

¹Ary nihidy mafy Jeriko tamin'izany noho ny Zanak'Isiraely: tsy nisy nivoaka, ary tsy nisy niditra.

²And Jehovah said to Joshua, See, I have given into thy hand Jericho, and the king thereof, [and] the valiant men.

²Ary hoy Jehovah tamin'i Josoa: Indro, efa natolotro eo an-tananao Jeriko sy ny mpanjakany mbamin'ny lehilahy mahery.

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

³Koa mandehana manodidina ny tanàna indray mandeha ianareo mpanafika rehetra; henemana no hanaovanao izany.

⁴And seven priests shall carry before the ark seven blast-trumpets; and on the seventh day ye shall go round the city seven times, and the priests shall blow with the trumpets.

⁴Ary asio mpisorona fito mitondra anjomara fito mafy faneno eo alohan'ny fiara; ary amin'ny andro fahafito dia hodidino impito ny tanàna, ary aoka ny mpisorona hitsoka ny anjomara.

⁵And it shall come to pass when they make a long blast with the blast-horn, that all the people on hearing the sound of the trumpet shall shout with a great shout; and the wall of the city shall fall flat, and the people shall go up, each one straight before him.

⁵Ary raha manao feo lavareny ny anjomara mafy faneno, ka renareo ny feon'ny anjomara, dia hanakora mafy ny vahoaka rehetra; ka dia hirodana amin'izay ny màndan'ny tanàna, ary hiakatra samy hizotra amin'izay hitsiny avy ny olona.

⁶And Joshua the son of Nun called the priests, and said to them, Carry the ark of the covenant, and seven priests shall carry seven blast-trumpets before the ark of Jehovah.

⁶Dia niantso ny mpisorona Josoa, zanak'i Nona, ka nanao taminy hoe: Ento ny fiaran'ny fanekena, ary asio mpisorona fito mitondra anjomara fito mafy faneno eo alohan'ny fiaran'i Jehovah.

⁷And he said to the people, Pass on, go round the city, and they that are armed shall pass on before the ark of Jehovah.

⁷Dia hoy izy tamin'ny vahoaka: Mandehana, ka manodidina ny tanàna, ary aoka ny olona efa voaomana hiady handeha eo alohan'ny fiaran'i Jehovah.

⁸And it came to pass when Joshua had spoken to the people, that the seven priests carrying the seven blast-trumpets before Jehovah passed on and blew with the trumpets; and the ark of the covenant of Jehovah went after them.

⁸Ary rehefa niteny tamin'ny vahoaka Josoa, dia nandeha ireo mpisorona fito nitondra ny anjomara fito mafy faneno teo alohan'i Jehovah ka nitsoka ny anjomara; ary ny fiaran'ny faneken'i Jehovah nanaraka azy.

⁹And the armed men went before the priests who blew with the trumpets, and the rearguard came after the ark; they blew with the trumpets in marching.

⁹Ary ny olona efa voaomana hiady dia nandeha teo alohan'ny mpisorona izay nitsoka ny anjomara, ary ny vodi-lalana nanaraka ny fiara; ary notsofina teny am-pandehanana ny anjomara.

¹⁰And Joshua had commanded the people, saying, Ye shall not shout, nor let your voice be heard, neither shall a word proceed out of your mouth, until the day I say to you, Shout; then shall ye shout.

¹⁰Ary ny vahoaka efa noraran'i Josoa hoe: Aza manakora na mamoaka feo na miloa-bava akory aza mandra-pahatongan'ny andro hanaovako aminareo hoe: Manakorà! dia vao amin'izay ianareo no hanakora.

¹¹And the ark of Jehovah went round the city, encompassing [it] once; and they came into the camp, and lodged in the camp.

¹¹Ary nanodidina ny tanàna indray mandeha ny fiaran'i Jehovah; dia nankany an-toby ny olona ka nitoetra tany.

¹²And Joshua rose early in the morning, and the priests carried the ark of Jehovah.

¹²Dia nifoha maraina koa Josoa, ary ny mpisorona nitondra ny fiaran'i Jehovah.

¹³And the seven priests carrying the seven blast-trumpets before the ark of Jehovah went on and blew continually with the trumpets; and the armed men went before them, and the rearguard went after the ark of Jehovah; they blew with the trumpets in marching.

¹³Ary ny mpisorona fito izay nitondra ny anjomara fito mafy faneno teo alohan'ny fiaran'i Jehovah dia nandeha mandrakariva ka nitsoka ny anjomara; ary ny olona efa voaomana hiady dia nandeha teo alohany; ary ny vodi-lalana kosa dia nanaraka ny fiaran'i Jehovah; ary notsofina teny am-pandehanana ny anjomara.

¹⁴And on the second day they went round the city once, and returned into the camp. So they did six days.

¹⁴Dia nanodidina ny tanàna indray mandeha koa izy tamin'ny andro faharoa ka niverina tany an-toby; henemana no nanaovany toy izany.

¹⁵And it was so that on the seventh day they rose early, about the morning-dawn, and went round the city after the same manner seven times; only on that day they went round the city seven times.

¹⁵Ary tamin'ny andro fahafito dia nifoha maraina koa izy, raha mbola nazava ratsy ny andro ka nanodidina ny tanàna impito toy ny nataony teo, nefa tamin'izany andro izany ihany no nanodidina ny tanàna impito izy.

¹⁶And it came to pass the seventh time, when the priests blew with the trumpets, that Joshua said to the people, Shout; for Jehovah has given you the city.

¹⁶Ary tamin'ny nandehanany fanimpitony, raha nitsoka ny anjomara ny mpisorona, dia hoy Josoa tamin'ny vahoaka: Manakorà! fa efa nomen'i Jehovah anareo ny tanàna.

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

¹⁷Dia hatolotra ho an'i Jehovah ho zavatra voaozona ny tanàna sy izay rehetra ao; fa Rahaba janga ihany no hovelomina, dia izy sy izay rehetra ao aminy ao an-trano, satria nanafina ny iratsika izy. [Heb. herema; izahao Lev. XXII. 28]

¹⁸But in any wise keep from the accursed thing, lest ye make [yourselves] accursed in taking of the accursed thing, and make the camp of Israel a curse, and trouble it.

¹⁸Kanefa mitandrema kosa ianareo ny amin'ny zavatra voaozona, fandrao manolotra zavatra ho voaozona ianareo, nefa maka amin'ny zavatra voaozona kosa, ka mahatonga ny tobin'ny Isiraely ho voaozona ary mampidi-doza aminy.

¹⁹And all the silver, and gold, and vessels of copper and iron, shall be holy to Jehovah; they shall come into the treasury of Jehovah.

¹⁹Fa ny volafotsy sy ny volamena rehetra ary ny fanaka varahina sy vy dia masina ho an'i Jehovah; hatao ao amin'ny rakitr'i Jehovah izany.

²⁰And the people shouted, and they blew with the trumpets. And it came to pass when the people heard the sound of the trumpets, and the people shouted with a great shout, that the wall fell down flat; and the people went up into the city, each one straight before him, and they took the city.

²⁰Dia nanakora ny olona, ary notsofina ny anjomara; ary nony ren'ny vahoaka ny feon'ny anjomara, dia nanakora mafy izy, ka nirodana tamin'izay ny manda, ary niakatra tao an-tanàna samy nizotra tamin'izay hitsiny avy ny olona, ka afaka ny tanàna.

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.

²¹Ary naringany tamin'ny lelan-tsabatra izay rehetra tao an-tanana, na lehilahy na vehivavy, na tanora na antitra, na omby, na ondry aman'osy, na boriky. [Heb. nataony herema]

²²And Joshua said to 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 has, as ye swore unto her.

²²Ary izy roa lahy izay efa nisafo ny tany dia efa nilazan'i Josoa hoe: Mankanesa ao amin'ny tranon'ilay vehivavy janga, ka ento mivoaka ravehivavy sy ny havany rehetra ary izay mety ho azy, araka izay nianiananareo taminy.

²³And the young men, the spies, went in and brought out Rahab, and her father, and her mother, and her brethren, and all that she had: all her kindred did they bring out, and they left them outside the camp of Israel.

²³Dia nankao ireo zatovo nisafo ireo ka nitondra an-dRahaba nivoaka sy ny rainy aman-dreniny sy ny anadahiny ary ny havany rehetra mbamin'izay nety ho azy; dia nitondra ny mpianakaviny rehetra nivoaka izy ka nametraka azy teo ivelan'ny tobin'ny Isiraely.

²⁴And they burned the city with fire, and all that was therein; only the silver, and the gold, and the vessels of copper and of iron, they put into the treasury of the house of Jehovah.

²⁴Ary ny tanàna sy izay rehetra tao dia nodorany tamin'ny afo, nefa ny volafotsy sy ny volamena ary ny fanaka varahina sy vy dia nataony tao amin'ny rakitry ny tranon'i Jehovah.

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

²⁵Fa Rahaba janga sy ny ankohonan'ny rainy sy ny havany rehetra mbamin'izay nety ho azy dia novelomin'i Josoa, ary mitoetra eo amin'ny Isiraely mandraka androany ravehivavy, satria nanafina ny iraka izay efa nirahin'i Josoa hisafo an'i Jeriko izy.

²⁶And Joshua swore at that time, saying, Cursed be the man before Jehovah who shall rise up and build this city Jericho! In his first-born shall he lay its foundation, and in his youngest son shall he set up its gates.

²⁶Dia nilaza fanozonana Josoa tamin'izany andro izany ka nanao hoe: Ho voaozona eo anatrehan'i Jehovah izay olona mitsangana manorina ity tanàna Jeriko ity indray; ny ain'ny lahimatoany no ho sazin'ny hanorenany ny fanambaniny, ary ny ain'ny faralahiny no ho sazin'ny hananganany ny vavahadiny.Ary Jehovah nomba an'i Josoa, ka niely tamin'ny tany rehetra ny lazany.

²⁷And Jehovah was with Joshua; and his fame was in all the land.

²⁷Ary Jehovah nomba an'i Josoa, ka niely tamin'ny tany rehetra ny lazany.
