Joshua 2

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	LXX
1 Then Joshua, son of Nun, secretly sent out two spies from Shittim, saying, "Go, reconnoiter the land and Jericho." When the two reached Jericho, they went into the house of a harlot named Rahab, where they lodged.	1 και απεστειλεν ιησους υιος ναυη εκ σαττιν δυο νεανισκους κατασκοπευσαι λεγων αναβητε και ιδετε την γην και την ιεριχω και πορευθεντες εισηλθοσαν οι δυο νεανισκοι εις ιεριχω και εισηλθοσαν εις οικιαν γυναικος πορνης η ονομα ρααβ και κατελυσαν εκει
2 But a report was brought to the king of Jericho that some Israelites had come there that night to spy out the land.	2 και απηγγελη τω βασιλει ιεριχω λεγοντες εισπεπορευνται ωδε ανδρες των υιων ισραηλ κατασκοπευσαι την γην
3 So the king of Jericho sent Rahab the order, "Put out the visitors who have entered your house, for they have come to spy out the entire land."	3 και απεστειλεν ο βασιλευς ιεριχω και ειπεν προς ρααβ λεγων εξαγαγε τους ανδρας τους εισπεπορευμενους εις την οικιαν σου την νυκτα κατασκοπευσαι γαρ την γην ηκασιν
4 The woman had taken the two men and hidden them, so she said, "True, the men you speak of came to me, but I did not know where they came from.	4 και λαβουσα η γυνη τους ανδρας εκρυψεν αυτους και ειπεν αυτοις λεγουσα εισεληλυθασιν προς με οι ανδρες
5 At dark, when it was time for the gate to be shut, they left, and I do not know where they went. You will have to pursue them immediately to overtake them."	5 ως δε η πυλη εκλειετο εν τω σκοτει και οι ανδρες εξηλθον ουκ επισταμαι που πεπορευνται καταδιωξατε οπισω αυτων ει καταλημψεσθε αυτους
6 Now, she had led them to the roof, and hidden them among her stalks of flax spread out there.	6 αυτη δε ανεβιβασεν αυτους επι το δωμα και εκρυψεν αυτους εν τη λινοκαλαμη τη εστοιβασμενη αυτη επι του δωματος
7 But the pursuers set out along the way to the fords of the Jordan, and once they had left, the gate was shut.	7 και οι ανδρες κατεδιωξαν οπισω αυτων οδον την επι του ιορδανου επι τας διαβασεις και η πυλη εκλεισθη και εγενετο ως εξηλθοσαν οι διωκοντες οπισω αυτων
8 Before the spies fell asleep, Rahab came to them on the roof	8 και αυτοι δε πριν η κοιμηθηναι αυτους και αυτη ανεβη επι το δωμα προς αυτους
9 and said: "I know that the LORD has given you the land, that a dread of you has come upon us, and that all the inhabitants of the land are overcome with fear of you.	9 και ειπεν προς αυτους επισταμαι οτι δεδωκεν υμιν κυριος την γην επιπεπτωκεν γαρ ο φοβος υμων εφ' ημας
10 For we have heard how the LORD dried up the waters of the Red Sea before you when you came out of Egypt, and how you dealt with Sihon and Og, the two kings of the Amorites beyond the Jordan, whom you doomed to destruction.	10 ακηκοαμεν γαρ οτι κατεξηρανεν κυριος ο θεος την ερυθραν θαλασσαν απο προσωπου υμων οτε εξεπορευεσθε εκ γης αιγυπτου και οσα εποιησεν τοις δυσι βασιλευσιν των αμορραιων οι ησαν περαν του ιορδανου τω σηων και ωγ ους εξωλεθρευσατε αυτους
11 At these reports, we are disheartened; everyone is discouraged because of you, since the LORD, your God, is God in heaven above and on earth below.	11 και ακουσαντες ημεις εξεστημεν τη καρδια ημων και ουκ εστη ετι πνευμα εν ουδενι ημων απο προσωπου υμων οτι κυριος ο θεος υμων θεος εν ουρανω ανω και επι της γης κατω
12 Now then, swear to me by the LORD that, since I am showing kindness to you, you in turn will show kindness to my family; and give me an unmistakable token	12 και νυν ομοσατε μοι κυριον τον θεον οτι ποιω υμιν ελεος και ποιησετε και υμεις ελεος εν τω οικω του πατρος μου
13 that you are to spare my father and mother, brothers and sisters, and all their kin, and save us from death."	13 και ζωγρησετε τον οικον του πατρος μου και την μητερα μου και τους αδελφους μου και παντα τον οικον μου και παντα οσα εστιν αυτοις και εξελεισθε την ψυχην μου εκ θανατου
14 "We pledge our lives for yours," the men answered her. "If you do not betray this errand of ours, we will be faithful in showing kindness to you when the LORD gives us the land."	14 και ειπαν αυτη οι ανδρες η ψυχη ημων ανθ' υμων εις θανατον και αυτη ειπεν ως αν παραδω κυριος υμιν την πολιν ποιησετε εις εμε ελεος και αληθειαν
15 Then she let them down through the window with a rope; for she lived in a house built into the city wall.	15 και κατεχαλασεν αυτους δια της θυριδος
16 "Go up into the hill country," she suggested to them, "that your pursuers may not find you. Hide there for three days, until they return; then you may proceed on your way."	16 και ειπεν αυτοις εις την ορεινην απελθετε μη συναντησωσιν υμιν οι καταδιωκοντες και κρυβησεσθε εκει τρεις ημερας εως αν αποστρεψωσιν οι καταδιωκοντες οπισω υμων και μετα ταυτα απελευσεσθε εις την οδον υμων
17 The men answered her, "This is how we will fulfill the oath you made us take:	17 και ειπαν οι ανδρες προς αυτην αθωοι εσμεν τω ορκω σου τουτω
18 When we come into the land, tie this scarlet cord in the window through which you are letting us down; and gather your father and mother, your brothers and all your family into your house.	18 ιδου ημεις εισπορευομεθα εις μερος της πολεως και θησεις το σημειον το σπαρτιον το κοκκινον τουτο εκδησεις εις την θυριδα δι' ης κατεβιβασας ημας δι' αυτης τον δε πατερα σου και την μητερα σου και τους αδελφους σου και παντα τον οικον του πατρος σου συναξεις προς σεαυτην εις την οικιαν σου
19 Should any of them pass outside the doors of your house, he will be responsible for his own death, and we shall be guiltless. But we shall be responsible if anyone in the house with you is harmed.	19 και εσται πας ος αν εξελθη την θυραν της οικιας σου εξω ενοχος εαυτω εσται ημεις δε αθωοι τω ορκω σου τουτω και οσοι εαν γενωνται μετα σου εν τη οικια σου ημεις ενοχοι εσομεθα
20 If, however, you betray this errand of ours, we shall be quit of the oath you have made us take."	20 εαν δε τις ημας αδικηση η και αποκαλυψη τους λογους ημων τουτους εσομεθα αθωοι τω ορκω σου τουτω
21 "Let it be as you say," she replied, and bade them farewell. When they were gone, she tied the scarlet cord in the window.	21 και ειπεν αυτοις κατα το ρημα υμων ουτως εστω και εξαπεστειλεν αυτους
22 They went up into the hills, where they stayed three days until their pursuers, who had sought them all along the road without finding them, returned.	22 και επορευθησαν και ηλθοσαν εις την ορεινην και κατεμειναν εκει τρεις ημερας και εξεζητησαν οι καταδιωκοντες πασας τας οδους και ουχ ευροσαν
23 Then the two came back down from the hills, crossed the Jordan to Joshua, son of Nun, and reported all that had befallen them.	23 και υπεστρεψαν οι δυο νεανισκοι και κατεβησαν εκ του ορους και διεβησαν προς ιησουν υιον ναυη και διηγησαντο αυτω παντα τα συμβεβηκοτα αυτοις
24 They assured Joshua, "The LORD has delivered all this land into our power; indeed, all the inhabitants of the land are overcome with fear of us."	24 και ειπαν προς ιησουν οτι παρεδωκεν κυριος πασαν την γην εν χειρι ημων και κατεπτηκεν πας ο κατοικων την γην εκεινην αφ' ημων
