< Joshua 6 >

1 (Now Jericho was all shut up because of the children of Israel: there was no going out or coming in.)
In pacl se inge mutunpot Jericho kaul na ke sripen mwet Israel inge. Wangin mwet oatui, ac wangin mwet utyak nu we.
2 And the Lord said to Joshua, See, I have given into your hands Jericho with its king and all its men of war.
Na LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Joshua, “Liye, nga ac sot acn Jericho nu inpoum, wi pacna tokosra ac mwet mweun watwen lun acn we.
3 Now let all your fighting-men make a circle round the town, going all round it once. Do this for six days.
Kom ac mwet mweun lom in fahsr rauneak acn we pacl se ke len se. Oru ouinge ke len onkosr.
4 And let seven priests go before the ark with seven loud-sounding horns in their hands: on the seventh day you are to go round the town seven times, the priests blowing their horns.
Sap mwet tol itkosr in fahsr meet liki Tuptup in Wuleang ac us mwe ukuk orekla ke koen kosro. Ke len se akitkosr kowos fahsr rauni pacl itkosr, ac mwet tol elos in uk mwe ukuk natulos an.
5 And at the sound of a long note on the horns, let all the people give a loud cry; and the wall of the town will come down flat, and all the people are to go straight forward.
Kowos fin lohng pacl se elos ukya mwe ukuk natulos ke sie pusra na loes, na mwet nukewa in sala ke sie pusra lulap, na pot uh ac fah raki, ac mwet nukewa fah utyak nu in siti sac.”
6 Then Joshua, the son of Nun, sent for the priests and said to them, Take up the ark of the agreement, and let seven priests take seven horns in their hands and go before the ark of the Lord.
Ouinge Joshua el pangoneni mwet tol uh ac fahk nu selos, “Srukak Tuptup in Wuleang, ac itkosr mwet tol an in fahsr meet liki ac us mwe ukuk natulos.”
7 And he said to the people, Go forward, circling the town, and let the armed men go before the ark of the Lord.
Na el fahk nu sin mwet ah, “Fahsr, rauni siti an, ac ekasr mwet mweun an in fahsr meet liki Tuptup in Wuleang lun LEUM GOD.”
8 So after Joshua had said this to the people, the seven priests with their seven horns went forward before the Lord, blowing on their horns: and the ark of the Lord's agreement went after them.
Ke Joshua el fahkla ma inge nu sin mwet ah, na mwet tol itkosr ma utuk mwe ukuk ah fahsryak ac uk mwe ukuk natulos, ac Tuptup in Wuleang fahsr tokolos.
9 And the armed men went before the priests who were blowing the horns, and the mass of the people went after the ark, blowing their horns.
Kutu sin mwet mweun fahsr meet liki mwet tol su uk mwe ukuk natulos uh, ac mwet mweun lula ah elos fahsr tukun Tuptup sac. In pacl se inge mwe ukuk ah nuna ukuk na.
10 And to the people Joshua gave an order, saying, You will give no cry, and make no sound, and let no word go out of your mouth till the day when I say, Give a loud cry; then give a loud cry.
Tusruktu Joshua el fahkang nu sin mwet uh, “Nimet kowos sasa ku wowon. Nimet kaskas nwe ke na len se nga fahk mu kowos in sala. In pacl sacn na kowos tufah sala!”
11 So he made the ark of the Lord go all round the town once: then they went back to the tents for the night.
Na el sap Tuptup in Wuleang in utuk rauneak siti ah ke pacl se. Na mwet uh folokla nu in lohm nuknuk selos ac mongla ke fong sac.
12 And early in the morning Joshua got up, and the priests took up the ark of the Lord.
Joshua el toang ngutalik ke len se tok ah, ac mwet tol elos srukak Tuptup in Wuleang sac.
13 And the seven priests with their seven horns went on before the ark of the Lord, blowing their horns: the armed men went before them, and the mass of the people went after the ark of the Lord, blowing their horns.
Mwet tol itkosr ma us mwe ukuk itkosr ah fahsryak ac fahsr meet liki Tuptup sac ac uk mwe ukuk natulos. Kutu mwet mweun ah fahsr meet liki Tuptup sac ac kutu toko. In pacl se inge, mwe ukuk ah na ukuk na.
14 The second day they went all round the town once, and then went back to their tents: and so they did for six days.
Ouinge ke len se akluo ah elos rauneak pac siti sac pacl se, na elos folokla nu lohm nuknuk selos. Elos oru na ouinge ke len onkosr.
15 Then on the seventh day they got up early, at the dawn of the day, and went round the town in the same way, but that day they went round it seven times.
Len se akitkosr ah elos ngutalik ke srakna toang ac fahsr rauni siti sac pacl itkosr oana ke elos oru meet ah, sayen ke len se akitkosr elos raun pacl itkosr.
16 And the seventh time, at the sound of the priests' horns, Joshua said to the people, Now give a loud cry; for the Lord has given you the town.
Ke mwet tol elos ukya mwe ukuk ah ke raun se akitkosr ah, Joshua el fahk nu sin mwet uh, “Sala, tuh LEUM GOD El asot nu suwos siti se inge!
17 And the town will be put to the curse, and everything in it will be given to the Lord: only Rahab, the loose woman, and all who are in the house with her, will be kept safe, because she kept secret the men we sent.
Siti sac ac ma nukewa loac ac fah kunausyukla. Rahab, mutan kosro sac, ac mwet nukewa in lohm sel elos mukena ac fah tia anwuki mweyen el tuh okanla mwet kalngeyuk su kut supwala nu we ah.
18 And as for you, keep yourselves from the cursed thing, for fear that you may get a desire for it and take some of it for yourselves, and so be the cause of a curse and great trouble on the tents of Israel.
Tusruk karinginkowosyang tuh kowos in tia srukak kutena ma fal in kunausyukla. Kowos fin srukak, na kowos ac fah sang mwata nu fin mwet Israel nukewa.
19 But all the silver and gold and the vessels of brass and iron are holy to the Lord: they are to come into the store-house of the Lord.
Gold ac silver, ac ma orek ke osra bronze ac iron nukewa ac fah srisrila nu sin LEUM GOD. Ma inge fah utukla nu ke nien filma lun LEUM GOD.”
20 So the people gave a loud cry, and the horns were sounded; and on hearing the horns the people gave a loud cry, and the wall came down flat, so that the people went up into the town, every man going straight before him, and they took the town.
Pacl se ma mwe ukuk uh kasla mwet nukewa sala, ac ke pusren ukuk ah kasla ac mwet uh sala, na pot uh mukukla; oru mwet nukewa yuyang ac eisla siti sac.
21 And they put everything in the town to the curse; men and women, young and old, ox and sheep and ass, they put to death without mercy.
Elos onela ma nukewa ke cutlass — mukul, mutan, tulik, mwet matu ac kain in kosro nukewa in siti sac.
22 Then Joshua said to the two men who had been sent to make a search through the land, Go into the house of the loose woman, and get her out, and all who are with her, as you gave her your oath.
Joshua el fahk nu sin mwet luo ma tuh som kalngeyuk in siti sac, “Fahla nu in lohm sin mutan kosro sac ac usalu, wi mwet nukewa in lohm sel an, in fal nu ke wulela lomtal nu sel.”
23 So the searchers went in and got out Rahab and her father and mother and her brothers and all she had, and they got out all her family; and they took them outside the tents of Israel.
Ouinge, mwet luo ah som ac usalu Rahab, papa tumal, nina kial, tamulel wial ac mwet nukewa in lohm sel. Elos use nufon mwet in sou lal, ac oakelosi in sie acn sisken acn mwet Israel elos muta we.
24 Then, after burning up the town and everything in it, they put the silver and gold and the vessels of brass and iron into the store-house of the Lord's house.
Na elos esukak siti sac nufon ac ma nukewa ma oan loac. Tusruktu gold ac silver ac ma orekla ke bronze ac iron nukewa utukla nu nien filma lun LEUM GOD.
25 But Joshua kept Rahab, the loose woman, and her father's family and all she had, from death, and so she got a living-place among the children of Israel to this day; because she kept safe the men whom Joshua had sent to make a search through the land.
Tusruktu Joshua el molella Rahab, mutan kosro sac, wi sou lal nukewa, mweyen Rahab el tuh okanla mwet kalngeyuk luo ah; na sou sac elos srakna muta inmasrlon mwet Israel nwe misenge.
26 Then Joshua gave the people orders with an oath, saying, Let that man be cursed before the Lord who puts his hand to the building up of this town: with the loss of his first son will he put the first stone of it in place, and with the loss of his youngest son he will put up its doors.
Ke pacl sac Joshua el orala sie fulahk ac fahk, “Kutena mwet fin srike in sifil musaeak siti Jericho, el ac fah selngawiyuk sin LEUM GOD. Mwet se fin sifil oakiya pwelung lun siti uh, Wen se oemeet natul ac fah misa. Mwet se fin musai mutunpot lun siti uh, Wen se oetok natul ac fah misa.”
27 So the Lord was with Joshua; and news of him went through all the land.
Ouinge LEUM GOD El welul Joshua, ac pweng kacl fahsrelik nu fin facl sac nufon.
