< Joshua 2 >

1 And Joshua the son of Nun sent from Shittim two spies secretly, saying, Go, see the land, even Jericho. And they went, and came into a harlot's house, named Rahab, and they lay down there.
Sililimed ngarud a nangibaon ni Josue nga anak ni Nun iti dua a lallaki a kas espia manipud Settim. Kinunana, “Mapankayo iti entero a daga, nangnangruna iti Jerico.” Napanda ket dimtengda iti balay ti maysa a balangkantis nga agnagan iti Rahab, ket nagdagusda sadiay.
2 And it was told the king of Jericho, saying, Behold, men have come hither to-night from the children of Israel to search out the land.
Naipakaammo daytoy iti ari ti Jerico, “Immay ditoy dagiti lallaki manipud Israel a mangsiim iti daga.”
3 And the king of Jericho sent to Rahab, saying, Bring forth the men that have come to thee, who have come into thy house: for they have come to search out all the land.
Nangipadanon ti ari iti sao kenni Rahab ket kinunana, “Iruarmo dagiti lallaki nga immay kenka a simrek iti balaymo, ta immayda a mangsiim iti entero a daga.”
4 And the woman had taken and concealed the two men; and she said, Yes, the men did come unto me, but I knew not whence they were;
Ngem innalan idi ti babai dagiti dua a lallaki ket inlemmengna ida. Ket kinunana, “Wen, immay kaniak dagiti lallaki, ngem saanko nga ammo no sadino ti naggapuanda.
5 and it came to pass when the gate had to be closed, at dark, that the men went out: I know not whither the men have gone. Pursue after them quickly; for ye shall overtake them.
Pimmanawda idi sumipnget, idi agrikep ti ruangan ti siudad. Saanko nga ammo ti napananda. Mabalin a matiliwyo ida no darasenyo ida a kamaten.”
6 But she had taken them up to the roof, and secreted them under the stalks of flax, which she had laid out on the roof.
Ngem pinaulina idi ida iti bubungan ti balay ket inlemmengna ida kadagiti kayo ti lino nga inkabilna iti rabaw daytoy.
7 And the men pursued after them the way to the Jordan, to the fords; and when they who pursued after them had gone out, they closed the gate.
Kinamat ngarud dagiti lallaki dagiti dua nga espia nga agturong iti pagballasiwan ti Jordan. Ket nagrikep dagiti ruangan apaman a nakaruar dagiti mangkamkamat.
8 And before they had lain down, she went up to them upon the roof;
Saan pay a nakaidda dagiti dua nga espia idi inuli ida ti babai idiay pangatepan.
9 and said to the men, I know that Jehovah has given you the land, and that the dread of you has fallen on us, and that all the inhabitants of the land faint because of you.
Kinunana, “Ammok nga inted kadakayo ni Yahweh ti daga ta immay kadakami ti panagbuteng kadakayo. Agrunaw iti sangoananyo ti amin nga agnanaed iti daga.”
10 For we have heard that Jehovah dried up the waters of the Red sea before you when ye came out of Egypt; and what ye did to the two kings of the Amorites that were beyond the Jordan, to Sihon and to Og, whom ye utterly destroyed.
Nangngeganmi no kasano a pinamaga ni Yahweh ti danum ti Baybay dagiti Runo para kadakayo idi rimuarkayo manipud Egipto. Ken nangngeganmi ti inaramidyo kadagiti dua nga ari dagiti Amorreo idiay bangir ti Jordan—ni Sihon ken ni Og— a naan-anay a dinadaelyo.
11 We heard [of it], and our heart melted, and there remained no more spirit in any man because of you; for Jehovah your God, he is God in the heavens above and on the earth beneath.
Apaman a nangngeganmi daytoy, narunaw dagiti pusomi ket awan ti nabati a tured iti siasinoman—ta ni Yahweh a Diosyo ket Dios sadi-langit ken iti rabaw ti daga.
12 And now, I pray you, swear to me by Jehovah, since I have dealt kindly with you, that ye will also deal kindly with my father's house, and give me a certain sign,
Ita ngarud, pangngaasiyo ta isapatayo kaniak babaen kenni Yahweh a kas iti panangngaasik kadakayo, kaassianyonto met iti balay ti amak. Ikkandak iti natalged a pagilasinan
13 that ye will let my father live, and my mother, and my brethren, and my sisters, and all that belong to them, and deliver our souls from death.
nga ispalenyonto ti biag ti amak, inak, kakabsatko a lallaki ken babbai, ken dagiti amin a pamiliada, ken isalakandakaminto manipud iti ipapatay.”
14 And the men said to her, Our lives shall pay for yours, if ye do not make this our business known; and it shall be when Jehovah shall give us the land, that we will deal kindly and truly with thee.
Kinuna dagiti lallaki kenkuana, “Para kenka ti biagmi, uray agingga iti patay! No saanmo a sarsaritaen ti maipapan iti rantami, maasi ken napudnokaminto ngarud kenka inton ited ni Yahweh daytoy a daga kadakami.”
15 And she let them down by a cord through the window; for her house was upon the city-wall, and she dwelt upon the wall.
Pinaulogna ngarud ida idiay tawa babaen iti tali. Ti balay a pagnanaedanna ket naikapet iti pader ti siudad.
16 And she said to them, Go to the mountain, that the pursuers may not meet with you; and hide yourselves there three days, until the pursuers have returned; and afterwards go your way.
Kinunana kadakuada, “Mapankayo kadagiti turturod ket aglemmengkayo ta no saan ket masarakandakayo dagiti mangkamkamat kadakayo. Aglemmengkayo sadiay iti tallo nga aldaw agingga a makasubli dagiti mangkamkamat. Ket mapankayo iti dalanyo.”
17 And the men said to her, We will be quit of this thine oath which thou hast made us swear.
Kinuna dagiti dua nga espia kenni Rahab, “Awanto iti pagrebbenganmi kadagiti impasapatam kadakami, no saanmo nga aramiden daytoy:
18 Behold, when we come into the land, thou shalt bind in the window this line of scarlet thread by which thou hast let us down; and thou shalt gather to thee in the house thy father, and thy mother, and thy brethren, and all thy father's household;
Inton serkenmi ti daga, masapul a mangigalutka iti nalabaga a tali iti tawa a nangipaulogam kadakami, ket ummongem iti uneg ti balaymo ti ama ken inam, dagiti kakabsatmo ken amin a sangkabbalayan ti amam.
19 and it shall be, that whoever shall go out of the doors of thy house into the street, — his blood shall be upon his head, and we shall be innocent; but every one who shall be with thee in the house, his blood shall be upon our head, if any hand be upon him.
Siasinoman a rumuar manipud kadagiti ruangan ti balaymo, addanto iti rabaw ti uloda iti darada ket awanto ti pakabasolanmi. Ngem no madangran ti siasinoman kadakayo iti uneg ti balay, ti darananto ket adda iti rabaw ti ulomi.
20 And if thou make known this our business, we will be quit of thine oath which thou hast made us swear.
Ngem no ibagam daytoy a rantami, awanto ngarud ti pagrebbenganmi a mangtungpal iti inkarimi.
21 And she said, According to your words, so be it. And she sent them away, and they departed. And she bound the scarlet line in the window.
Simmungbat ni Rahab, “Mapasamak koma ti kinunayo.” Pinalubosanna ida ket pimmanawda. Ket nangigalut isuna iti nalabaga a tali iti tawa.
22 And they went, and came to the mountain, and remained there three days, until the pursuers had returned; and the pursuers sought them all the way, and found them not.
Pimmanawda ket napanda idiay turturod ket nagtalinaedda sadiay iti tallo nga aldaw agingga a nagsubli dagiti mangkamkamat kadakuada. Sinapsapul ida dagiti mangkamkamat kadagiti daldalan ngem awan ti nasarakanda.
23 And the two men returned and came down from the mountain, and went over and came to Joshua the son of Nun, and related to him everything that had happened to them.
Nagsubli dagiti dua a lallaki ket nagballasiwda a nagsublida kenni Josue nga anak ni Nun, ket imbagada kenkuana amin a napasamak kadakuada.
24 And they said to Joshua, Of a surety Jehovah has given the whole land into our hands, and even all the inhabitants of the land faint because of us.
Ket kinunada kenni Josue, “Pudno nga inted ni Yahweh daytoy a daga kadatayo. Agrunrunaw amin nga agnanaed iti daydiay a daga gapu kadatayo.
