Josue 2
1 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.
And Joshua the son of Nun sent out of Shittim two men as spies secretly, saying, Go view the land, and Jericho. And they went, and came into the house of an harlot whose name was Rahab, and lay there.
2 Naipakaammo daytoy iti ari ti Jerico, “Immay ditoy dagiti lallaki manipud Israel a mangsiim iti daga.”
And it was told the king of Jericho, saying, Behold, there came men in hither to-night of the children of Israel to search out the land.
3 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.”
And the king of Jericho sent unto Rahab, saying, Bring forth the men that are come to thee, which are entered into thine house: for they be come to search out all the land.
4 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.
And the woman took the two men, and hid them; and she said, Yea, the men came unto me, but I wist not whence they were:
5 Pimmanawda idi sumipnget, idi agrikep ti ruangan ti siudad. Saanko nga ammo ti napananda. Mabalin a matiliwyo ida no darasenyo ida a kamaten.”
and it came to pass about the time of the shutting of the gate, when it was dark, that the men went out: whither the men went I wot not: pursue after them quickly; for ye shall overtake them.
6 Ngem pinaulina idi ida iti bubungan ti balay ket inlemmengna ida kadagiti kayo ti lino nga inkabilna iti rabaw daytoy.
But she had brought them up to the roof, and hid them with the stalks of flax, which she had laid in order upon the roof.
7 Kinamat ngarud dagiti lallaki dagiti dua nga espia nga agturong iti pagballasiwan ti Jordan. Ket nagrikep dagiti ruangan apaman a nakaruar dagiti mangkamkamat.
And the men pursued after them the way to Jordan unto the fords: and as soon as they which pursued after them were gone out, they shut the gate.
8 Saan pay a nakaidda dagiti dua nga espia idi inuli ida ti babai idiay pangatepan.
And before they were laid down, she came up unto them upon the roof;
9 Kinunana, “Ammok nga inted kadakayo ni Yahweh ti daga ta immay kadakami ti panagbuteng kadakayo. Agrunaw iti sangoananyo ti amin nga agnanaed iti daga.”
and she said unto the men, I know that the LORD hath given you the land, and that your terror is fallen upon us, and that all the inhabitants of the land melt away before you.
10 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.
For we have heard how the LORD dried up the water of the Red Sea before you, when ye came out of Egypt; and what ye did unto the two kings of the Amorites, that were beyond Jordan, unto Sihon and to Og, whom ye utterly destroyed.
11 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.
And as soon as we had heard it, our hearts did melt, neither did there remain any more spirit in any man, because of you: for the LORD your God, he is God in heaven above, and on earth beneath.
12 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
Now therefore, I pray you, swear unto me by the LORD, since I have dealt kindly with you, that ye also will deal kindly with my father’s house, and give me a true token:
13 nga ispalenyonto ti biag ti amak, inak, kakabsatko a lallaki ken babbai, ken dagiti amin a pamiliada, ken isalakandakaminto manipud iti ipapatay.”
and that ye will save alive my father, and my mother, and my brethren, and my sisters, and all that they have, and will deliver our lives from death.
14 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.”
And the men said unto her, Our life for yours, if ye utter not this our business; and it shall be, when the LORD giveth us the land, that we will deal kindly and truly with thee.
15 Pinaulogna ngarud ida idiay tawa babaen iti tali. Ti balay a pagnanaedanna ket naikapet iti pader ti siudad.
Then she let them down by a cord through the window: for her house was upon the town wall, and she dwelt upon the wall.
16 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.”
And she said unto them, Get you to the mountain, lest the pursuers light upon you; and hide yourselves there three days, until the pursuers be returned: and afterward may ye go your way.
17 Kinuna dagiti dua nga espia kenni Rahab, “Awanto iti pagrebbenganmi kadagiti impasapatam kadakami, no saanmo nga aramiden daytoy:
And the men said unto her, We will be guiltless of this thine oath which thou hast made us to swear.
18 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.
Behold, when we come into the land, thou shalt bind this line of scarlet thread in the window which thou didst let us down by: and thou shalt gather unto thee into the house thy father, and thy mother, and thy brethren, and all thy father’s household.
19 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.
And it shall be, that whosoever shall go out of the doors of thy house into the street, his blood shall be upon his head, and we will be guiltless: and whosoever shall be with thee in the house, his blood shall be on our head, if any hand be upon him.
20 Ngem no ibagam daytoy a rantami, awanto ngarud ti pagrebbenganmi a mangtungpal iti inkarimi.
But if thou utter this our business, then we will be guiltless of thine oath which thou hast made us to swear.
21 Simmungbat ni Rahab, “Mapasamak koma ti kinunayo.” Pinalubosanna ida ket pimmanawda. Ket nangigalut isuna iti nalabaga a tali iti tawa.
And she said, According unto your words, so be it. And she sent them away, and they departed: and she bound the scarlet line in the window.
22 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.
And they went, and came unto the mountain, and abode there three days, until the pursuers were returned: and the pursuers sought them throughout all the way, but found them not.
23 Nagsubli dagiti dua a lallaki ket nagballasiwda a nagsublida kenni Josue nga anak ni Nun, ket imbagada kenkuana amin a napasamak kadakuada.
Then the two men returned, and descended from the mountain, and passed over, and came to Joshua the son of Nun; and they told him all that had befallen them.
24 Ket kinunada kenni Josue, “Pudno nga inted ni Yahweh daytoy a daga kadatayo. Agrunrunaw amin nga agnanaed iti daydiay a daga gapu kadatayo.
And they said unto Joshua, Truly the LORD hath delivered into our hands all the land; and moreover all the inhabitants of the land do melt away before us.
