2:1	[hb5]	當下嫩的兒子約書亞從什亭暗暗打發兩個人作探子、吩咐說、你們去窺探那地、和耶利哥。於是二人去了、來到一個妓女名叫喇合的家裡、就在那裡躺臥。
	[kjv]	And Joshua the son of Nun sent out of Shittim two men to spy secretly, saying, Go view the land, even Jericho. And they went, and came into an harlots house, named Rahab, and lodged there.
	[bbe]	Then Joshua, the son of Nun, sent two men from Shittim secretly, with the purpose of searching out the land, and Jericho. So they went and came to the house of a loose woman of the town, named Rahab, where they took their rest for the night.
2:2	[hb5]	有人告訴耶利哥王說、今夜有以色列人來到這裡窺探此地。
	[kjv]	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 country.
	[bbe]	And it was said to the king of Jericho, See, some men have come here tonight from the children of Israel with the purpose of searching out the land.
2:3	[hb5]	耶利哥王打發人去見喇合說、那來到你這裡、進了你家的人、要交出來．因為他們來窺探全地。
	[kjv]	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 country.
	[bbe]	Then the king of Jericho sent to Rahab, saying, Send out the men who have come to you and are in your house; for they have come with the purpose of searching out all the land.
2:4	[hb5]	女人將二人隱藏、就回答說、那人果然到我這裡來．他們是那裡來的我卻不知道。
	[kjv]	And the woman took the two men, and hid them, and said thus, There came men unto me, but I wist not whence they were:
	[bbe]	And the woman took the two men and put them in a secret place; then she said, Yes, the men came to me, but I had no idea where they came from;
2:5	[hb5]	天黑、要關城門的時候、他們出去了．往哪裡去我卻不知道．你們快快地去追趕、就必追上。
	[kjv]	And it came to pass about the time of 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.
	[bbe]	And when it was the time for shutting the doors at dark, they went out; I have no idea where the men went: but if you go after them quickly, you will overtake them.
2:6	[hb5]	（先是女人領二人上了房頂、將他們藏在那裡所擺的麻秸中。）
	[kjv]	But she had brought them up to the roof of the house, and hid them with the stalks of flax, which she had laid in order upon the roof.
	[bbe]	But she had taken them up to the roof, covering them with the stems of flax which she had put out in order there.
2:7	[hb5]	那些人就往約但河的渡口追趕他們去了．追趕他們的人一出去、城門就關了。
	[kjv]	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.
	[bbe]	So the men went after them on the road to Jordan as far as the river-crossing: and when they had gone out after them, the door into the town was shut.
2:8	[hb5]	二人還沒有躺臥、女人就上房頂到他們那裡、
	[kjv]	And before they were laid down, she came up unto them upon the roof;
	[bbe]	And before the men went to rest, she came up to them on the roof,
2:9	[hb5]	對他們說、我知道耶和華已經把這地賜給你們、並且因你們的緣故我們都驚慌了．這地的一切居民、在你們面前心都消化了。
	[kjv]	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 faint because of you.
	[bbe]	And said to them, It is clear to me that the Lord has given you the land, and that the fear of you has come on us;
2:10	[hb5]	因為我們聽見你們出埃及的時候、耶和華怎樣在你們前面使紅海的水乾了．並且你們怎樣待約但河東的兩個亞摩利王西宏和噩、將他們盡行毀滅。
	[kjv]	For we have heard how the LORD dried up the water of the Red sea for you, when ye came out of Egypt; and what ye did unto the two kings of the Amorites, that were on the other side Jordan, Sihon and Og, whom ye utterly destroyed.
	[bbe]	For we have had news of how the Lord made the Red Sea dry before you when you came out of Egypt; and what you did to the two kings of the Amorites, on the other side of Jordan, to Sihon and Og, whom you gave up to the curse.
2:11	[hb5]	我們一聽見這些事、心就消化了。因你們的緣故、並無一人有膽氣．耶和華你們的　神、本是上天下地的　神。
	[kjv]	And as soon as we had heard these things, our hearts did melt, neither did there remain any more courage in any man, because of you: for the LORD your God, he is God in heaven above, and in earth beneath.
	[bbe]	And because of this news, our hearts became like water, and there was no more spirit in any of us because of you; for the Lord your God is God in heaven on high and here on earth.
2:12	[hb5]	現在我既是恩待你們、求你們指著耶和華向我起誓、也要恩待我父家、並給我一個實在的證據、
	[kjv]	Now therefore, I pray you, swear unto me by the LORD, since I have shewed you kindness, that ye will also shew kindness unto my fathers house, and give me a true token:
	[bbe]	So now, will you give me your oath by the Lord, that, because I have been kind to you, you will be kind to my fathers house,
2:13	[hb5]	要救活我的父母、弟兄、姐妹、和一切屬他們的、拯救我們性命不死。
	[kjv]	And that ye will save alive my father, and my mother, and my brethren, and my sisters, and all that they have, and deliver our lives from death.
	[bbe]	And that you will keep safe my father and mother and my brothers and sisters and all they have, so that death may not come on us?
2:14	[hb5]	二人對他說、你若不洩漏我們這件事、我們情願替你們死．耶和華將這地賜給我們的時候、我們必以慈愛誠實待你。
	[kjv]	And the men answered her, Our life for yours, if ye utter not this our business. And it shall be, when the LORD hath given us the land, that we will deal kindly and truly with thee.
	[bbe]	And the men said to her, Our life for yours if you keep our business secret; and when the Lord has given us the land, we will keep faith and be kind to you.
2:15	[hb5]	於是女人用繩子將二人從窗戶裡縋下去．因他的房子是在城牆邊上、他也住在城牆上。
	[kjv]	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.
	[bbe]	Then she let them down from the window by a cord, for the house where she was living was on the town wall.
2:16	[hb5]	他對他們說、你們且往山上去、恐怕追趕的人碰見你們．要在那裡隱藏三天、等追趕的人回來、然後纔可以走你們的路。
	[kjv]	And she said unto them, Get you to the mountain, lest the pursuers meet you; and hide yourselves there three days, until the pursuers be returned: and afterward may ye go your way.
	[bbe]	And she said to them, Get away into the hill-country, or the men who have gone after you will overtake you; keep yourselves safe there for three days, till the searchers have come back, and then go on your way.
2:17	[hb5]	二人對他說、你要這樣行．不然、你叫我們所起的誓、就與我們無干了。
	[kjv]	And the men said unto her, We will be blameless of this thine oath which thou hast made us swear.
	[bbe]	And the men said to her, We will only be responsible for this oath which you have made us take,
2:18	[hb5]	我們來到這地的時候、你要把這條朱紅線繩繫在縋我們下去的窗戶上．並要使你的父母、弟兄、和你父的全家、都聚集在你家中。
	[kjv]	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 bring thy father, and thy mother, and thy brethren, and all thy fathers household, home unto thee.
	[bbe]	If, when we come into the land, you put this cord of bright red thread in the window from which you let us down; and get your father and mother and your brothers and all your family into the house;
2:19	[hb5]	凡出了你家門往街上去的、他的罪必歸到自己的頭上〔罪原文作血〕與我們無干了．凡在你家裡的、若有人下手害他、流他血的罪、就歸到我們的頭上。
	[kjv]	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.
	[bbe]	Then if anyone goes out of your house into the street, his blood will be on his head, we will not be responsible; but if any damage comes to anyone in the house, his blood will be on our heads.
2:20	[hb5]	你若洩漏我們這件事、你叫我們所起的誓、就與我們無干了。
	[kjv]	And if thou utter this our business, then we will be quit of thine oath which thou hast made us to swear.
	[bbe]	But if you say anything about our business here, then we will be free from the oath you have made us take.
2:21	[hb5]	女人說、照你們的話行罷。於是打發他們去了．又把朱紅線繩繫在窗戶上。
	[kjv]	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.
	[bbe]	And she said, Let it be as you say. Then she sent them away, and they went; and she put the bright red cord in the window.
2:22	[hb5]	二人到山上、在那裡住了三天、等著追趕的人回去了。追趕的人一路找他們、卻找不著。
	[kjv]	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.
	[bbe]	And they went into the hill-country and were there three days, till the men who had gone after them had come back; and those who went after them were searching for them everywhere without coming across them.
2:23	[hb5]	二人就下山回來、過了河、到嫩的兒子約書亞那裡、向他述說所遭遇的一切事。
	[kjv]	So the two men returned, and descended from the mountain, and passed over, and came to Joshua the son of Nun, and told him all things that befell them:
	[bbe]	Then the two men came down from the hill-country and went over and came back to Joshua, the son of Nun; and they gave him a complete account of what had taken place.
2:24	[hb5]	又對約書亞說、耶和華果然將那全地交在我們手中、那地的一切居民、在我們面前心都消化了。
	[kjv]	And they said unto Joshua, Truly the LORD hath delivered into our hands all the land; for even all the inhabitants of the country do faint because of us.
	[bbe]	And they said to Joshua, Truly, the Lord has given all the land into our hands; and all the people of the land have become like water because of us.
