¹Now Jericho was tightly shut up because of the children of Israel. No one went out, and no one came in.

¹(Haddaba Yerixoo waxaa loo xidhay reer binu Israa'iil aawadood; oo lamana geli jirin, lagamana bixi jirin.)

²Yahweh said to Joshua, “Behold, I have given Jericho into your hand, with its king and the mighty men of valor.

²Markaasaa Rabbigu wuxuu Yashuuca ku yidhi, Bal eeg, adigaan gacanta kuu geliyey Yerixoo, iyo boqorkeeda, iyo ragga xoogga leh.

³All your men of war shall march around the city, going around the city once. You shall do this six days.

³Oo waa inaad magaalada hareeraysaan, oo raggiinna dagaalyahannada ah oo dhammu magaalada mar ku soo wareega. Oo sidaas waxaad yeeshaan lix maalmood.

⁴Seven priests shall bear seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the ark. On the seventh day, you shall march around the city seven times, and the priests shall blow the trumpets.

⁴Oo toddoba wadaad waa inay sanduuqa hortiisa socdaan iyagoo wata toddoba buun oo wanan geesahood ah, oo maalinta toddobaad waa inaad magaalada ku soo wareegtaan toddoba jeer, oo wadaaddaduna waa inay buunanka afuufaan.

⁵It shall be that when they make a long blast with the ram’s horn, and when you 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 go up every man straight before him.”

⁵Oo markay aad u afuufaan buunanka wananka geesahooda ah, oo idinku aad maqashaan dhawaaqa buunka, dadka oo dhammu qaylo dheer waa inay ku qayliyaan, oo markaasaa derbiga magaaladu meeshiisa ku dhici doonaa, dadkuna waa inuu nin waluba hortiisa qummaati ugu socdaa.

⁶Joshua the son of Nun called the priests, and said to them, “Take up the ark of the covenant, and let seven priests bear seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the ark of Yahweh.”

⁶Markaasaa Yashuuca ina Nuun wadaaddadii u yeedhay, oo ku yidhi, Sanduuqa axdiga kor u qaada, oo sanduuqa Rabbiga toddoba wadaad ha la hor socdeen toddoba buun oo wanan geesahood ah.

⁷They said to the people, “Advance! March around the city, and let the armed men pass on before Yahweh’s ark.”

⁷Oo waxay dadkii ku yidhaahdeen, Socda oo magaalada hareereeya, oo ragga hubka sitaana ha ka hor mareen sanduuqa Rabbiga.

⁸It was so, that when Joshua had spoken to the people, the seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams’ horns before Yahweh advanced, and blew the trumpets; and the ark of the covenant of Yahweh followed them.

⁸Oo sidii bay noqotay. Markii Yashuuca la hadlay dadkii waxaa socday oo Rabbiga hortiisa maray toddobadii wadaad oo sidda toddobadii buun oo wanan geesahood ah; oo waxay afuufeen buunankii; oo sanduuqii axdiga Rabbiguna waa lala daba socday.

⁹The armed men went before the priests who blew the trumpets, and the ark went after them. The trumpets sounded as they went.

⁹Oo raggii hubka sitayna waxay hor socdeen wadaaddadii buunanka afuufayay, oo ururkii intiisii kalena waxay daba socdeen sanduuqa, oo wadaaddaduna buunankay afuufayeen intay socdeen.

¹⁰Joshua commanded the people, saying, “You shall not shout, nor let your voice be heard, neither shall any word proceed out of your mouth, until the day I tell you to shout. Then you shall shout.”

¹⁰Oo Yashuuca wuxuu dadkii ku amray oo ku yidhi, Waa inaydnaan qaylin, codkiinnana waa inaan la maqlin, afkiinnana eray qudh ah yaanu ka soo bixin, ilaa maalintii aan idinku amro inaad qaylisaan; oo markaas waa inaad qaylisaan.

¹¹So he caused the ark of Yahweh to go around the city, going about it once. Then they came into the camp, and lodged in the camp.

¹¹Oo sidaasuu sanduuqii Rabbiga ugu soo wareejiyey magaaladii, oo mar bay ku soo wareegeen hareeraheeda; oo markaasay ku noqdeen xeradii, waxayna u hoydeen xeradii.

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

¹²Markaasaa Yashuuca wuxuu kacay aroor hore, oo wadaaddadiina waxay kor u qaadeen sanduuqii Rabbiga.

¹³The seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the ark of Yahweh went on continually, and blew the trumpets: and the armed men went before them. The rear guard came after the ark of Yahweh. The trumpets sounded as they went.

¹³Toddobadii wadaad oo sidday toddobadii buun oo wanan geesahood ahna, waxay had iyo goorba hor socdeen sanduuqii Rabbiga, oo waxay afuufeen buunankii; oo raggii hubka sitayna iyagay ka horreeyeen; ururkii intiisii kalena waxay daba socdeen sanduuqii Rabbiga, wadaaddaduna waxay afuufayeen buunankii intay socdeen.

¹⁴The second day they marched around the city once, and returned into the camp. They did this six days.

¹⁴Oo maalintii labaadna mar bay ku soo wareegeen magaaladii, oo waxay ku noqdeen xeradii; oo sidaasay intii lix maalmood ah yeeleen.

¹⁵It happened on the seventh day, that they rose early at the dawning of the day, and marched around the city in the same way seven times. Only on this day they marched around the city seven times.

¹⁵Oo maalintii toddobaad aroor horay keceen markii waagu beryay, oo sidii oo kale ayay magaaladii toddoba jeer ugu soo wareegeen; laakiin maalintaas ayay magaalada toddoba jeer ku soo wareegeen.

¹⁶It happened at the seventh time, when the priests blew the trumpets, Joshua said to the people, “Shout, for Yahweh has given you the city!

¹⁶Oo markii toddobaad, markii wadaaddadii afuufeen buunankii ayaa Yashuuca dadkii ku yidhi, Qayliya, waayo, Rabbigu waa idin siiyey magaalada.

¹⁷The city shall be devoted, even it and all that is in it, to Yahweh. Only Rahab the prostitute shall live, she and all who are with her in the house, because she hid the messengers that we sent.

¹⁷Oo magaalada waa inay xaaraan ka noqoto cid kale Rabbiga mooyaane, iyada iyo waxa gudaheeda ku jiraba; waxaa keliyahoo ka noolaanaya dhillada la yidhaahdo Raxab iyo inta guriga kula jirta oo dhan, maxaa yeelay, waxay qarisay basaasyadii aannu dirnay.

¹⁸But as for you, only keep yourselves from the devoted thing, lest when you have devoted it, you take of the devoted thing; so would you make the camp of Israel accursed, and trouble it.

¹⁸Oo idinku waa inaad si walba isaga dhawrtaan waxa la xarrimay, waayo, waaba intaasoo markii aad xarrintaan, aad haddana wax ka qaadataan alaabtii la xarrimay. Sidaas haddaad yeeshaan waxaad xaaraan ka dhigi doontaan oo aad dhibi doontaan xerada reer binu Israa'iil.

¹⁹But all the silver, and gold, and vessels of brass and iron, are holy to Yahweh. They shall come into Yahweh’s treasury.”

¹⁹Laakiinse lacagta, iyo dahabka, iyo alaabta naxaasta iyo birta ah oo dhammu waxay quduus u yihiin Rabbiga, oo iyaga waa in la soo geliyaa khasnadda Rabbiga.

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

²⁰Sidaas daraaddeed dadkii way qayliyeen, oo wadaaddadiina buunankii bay afuufeen, oo markii dadkii maqleen dhawaaqii buunka ayaa dadkii ku qayliyey qaylo dheer, oo markaasaa derbigii meeshiisii ku dhacay, oo sidaasay dadkiina ku galeen magaaladii, oo nin waluba hortiisuu qummaati ugu socday, oo magaaladii bay qaateen.

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

²¹Markaasay wax alla wixii magaalada ku jiray wada baabbi'iyeen, raggii iyo dumarkii, iyo dhallinyaradii iyo kuwii da'da weynaaba, iyo dibidii iyo idihii, iyo dameerradiiba, kulli waxay ku laayeen seef.

²²Joshua said to the two men who had spied out the land, “Go into the prostitute’s house, and bring out from there the woman and all that she has, as you swore to her.”

²²Oo Yashuuca wuxuu ku yidhi labadii nin oo dalka soo basaastay, Gurigii dhillada gala, oo ka soo bixiya naagtii, iyo wax alla waxa ay haysato sidii aad iyada ugu dhaarateen.

²³The young men who were spies went in, and brought out Rahab with her father, her mother, her brothers, and all that she had. They also brought out all her relatives, and they set them outside of the camp of Israel.

²³Oo markaasay dhallinyaradii basaasyada ahaa gurigii galeen oo soo bixiyeen Raxab, iyo aabbeheed iyo hooyadeed, iyo walaalaheed, iyo wixii ay haysatay oo dhan, oo qaraabadeedii oo dhanna way soo bixiyeen, oo waxay geeyeen xeradii reer binu Israa'iil dibaddeeda.

²⁴They burnt the city with fire, and all that was in it. Only they put the silver, the gold, and the vessels of brass and of iron into the treasury of Yahweh’s house.

²⁴Markaasay magaaladii iyo wixii ku jirayba dab ku gubeen, oo waxay keliyahoo khasnaddii Rabbiga geliyeen lacagtii iyo dahabkii, iyo alaabtii naxaasta iyo birta ahayd.

²⁵But Rahab the prostitute, her father’s household, and all that she had, Joshua saved alive. She lived in the midst of Israel to this day, because she hid the messengers, whom Joshua sent to spy out Jericho.

²⁵Laakiinse wuxuu Yashuuca badbaadiyey dhilladii Raxab, iyo reerkii aabbeheed, iyo wixii ay haysatay oo dhan, oo ilaa maantadan la joogo waxay dhex deggan tahay reer binu Israa'iil, waayo, waxay qarisay basaasyadii Yashuuca u diray inay Yerixoo soo basaasaan.

²⁶Joshua commanded them with an oath at that time, saying, “Cursed is the man before Yahweh, who rises up and builds this city Jericho. With the loss of his firstborn shall he lay its foundation, and with the loss of his youngest son shall he set up its gates.”

²⁶Markaasaa Yashuuca dhaariyey, oo wuxuu iyagii ku amray, oo ku yidhi, Kii kaca oo dhisa magaalada Yerixoo Rabbiga hortiisa inkaaru ha ku dhacdo. Markuu aasaaskeeda dhigo curadkiisuu waayi doonaa, markuu irdaheeda dhisona wiilkiisa ugu yar.Haddaba Rabbigu wuxuu la jiray Yashuuca, oo warkiisiina wuxuu gaadhay dalkii oo dhan.

²⁷So Yahweh was with Joshua; and his fame was in all the land.

²⁷Haddaba Rabbigu wuxuu la jiray Yashuuca, oo warkiisiina wuxuu gaadhay dalkii oo dhan.
