Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1And Josue the son of Nun sent from Setim two men, to spy secretly: and said to them: Go, and view the land and the city of Jericho. They went and entered into the house of a woman that was a harlot named Rahab, and lodged with her.
1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 的家裏，就在那裏躺臥。
2And it was told the king of Jericho, and was said: Behold there are men come in hither, by night, of the children of Israel, to spy the land.
2有人告訴 耶利哥 王說：「今夜有 以色列 人來到這裏窺探此地。」
3And the king of Jericho sent to Rahab, saying: Bring forth the men that came to thee, and are entered into thy house: for they are spies, and are come to view all the land.
3耶利哥 王打發人去見 喇合 說：「那來到你這裏、進了你家的人要交出來，因為他們來窺探全地。」
4And the woman taking the men, hid them, and said: I confess they came to me, but I knew not whence they were:
4女人將二人隱藏，就回答說：「那人果然到我這裏來；他們是哪裏來的我卻不知道。
5And at the time of shutting the gate in the dark, they also went out together. I know not whither they are gone: pursue after them quickly, and you will overtake them.
5天黑、要關城門的時候，他們出去了，往哪裏去我卻不知道。你們快快地去追趕，就必追上。」（
6But she made the men go up to the top of her house, and covered them with the stalks of flax, which was there.
6先是女人領二人上了房頂，將他們藏在那裏所擺的麻稭中。）
7Now they that were sent, pursued after them, by the way that leadeth to the fords of the Jordan: and as soon as they were gone out, the gate was presently shut.
7那些人就往 約旦河 的渡口追趕他們去了。追趕他們的人一出去，城門就關了。
8The men that were hidden were not yet asleep, when behold the woman went up to them, and said:
8二人還沒有躺臥，女人就上房頂，到他們那裏，
9I know that the Lord hath given this land to you: for the dread of you is fallen upon us, and all the inhabitants of the land have lost all strength.
9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；
10We have heard that the Lord dried up the water of the Red Sea at your going in, when you came out of Egypt: and what things you did to the two kings of the Amorrhites, that were beyond the Jordan: Sehon and Og whom you slew.
10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 約旦河 東的兩個 亞摩利 王 西宏 和 噩 ，將他們盡行毀滅。
11And hearing these things we were affrighted, and our heart fainted away, neither did there remain any spirit in us at your coming in: for the Lord your God he is God in heaven above, and in the earth beneath.
11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－你們的上帝本是上天下地的上帝。
12Now therefore swear ye to me by the Lord, that as I have shewn mercy to you, so you also will shew mercy to my father’s house: and give me a true token,
12現在我既是恩待你們，求你們指着耶和華向我起誓，也要恩待我父家，並給我一個實在的證據，
13That you will save my father and mother, my brethren and sisters, and all things that are theirs, and deliver our souls from death.
13要救活我的父母、弟兄、姊妹，和一切屬他們的，拯救我們性命不死。」
14They answered her: Be our lives for you unto death, only if thou betray us not. And when the Lord shall have delivered us the land, we will shew thee mercy and truth.
14二人對她說：「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。」
15Then she let them down with a cord out of a window: for her house joined close to the wall.
15於是女人用繩子將二人從窗戶裏縋下去；因她的房子是在城牆邊上，她也住在城牆上。
16And she said to them: Get ye up to the mountains, lest perhaps they meet you as they return: and there lie ye hid three days, till they come back, and so you shall go on your way.
16她對他們說：「你們且往山上去，恐怕追趕的人碰見你們；要在那裏隱藏三天，等追趕的人回來，然後才可以走你們的路。」
17And they said to her: We shall be blameless of this oath, which thou hast made us swear:
17二人對她說：「 你要這樣行 。 不然 ，你叫我們所起的誓就與我們無干了。
18If when we come into the land, this scarlet cord be a sign, and thou tie it in the window, by which thou hast let us down: and gather together thy father and mother, and brethren and all thy kindred into thy house.
18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。
19Whosoever shall go out of the door of thy house, his blood shall be upon his own head, and we shall be quit. But the blood of all that shall be with thee in the house, shall light upon our head, if any man touch them.
19凡出了你家門往街上去的，他的罪 必歸到自己的頭上，與我們無干了。凡在你家裏的，若有人下手害他，流他血的罪就歸到我們的頭上。
20But if thou wilt betray us, and utter this word abroad, we shall be quit of this oath which thou hast made us swear.
20你若洩漏我們這件事，你叫我們所起的誓就與我們無干了。」
21And she answered: As you have spoken, so be it done. And sending them on their way, she hung the scarlet cord in the window.
21女人說：「照你們的話行吧！」於是打發他們去了，又把朱紅線繩繫在窗戶上。
22But they went and came to the mountains, and stayed there three days till they that pursued them were returned. For having sought them through all the way, they found them not.
22二人到山上，在那裏住了三天，等着追趕的人回去了。追趕的人一路找他們，卻找不着。
23And when they were gone back into the city, the spies returned, and came down from the mountain: and passing over the Jordan, they came to Josue the son of Nun, and told him all that befel them.
23二人就下山回來，過了 河 ，到 嫩 的兒子 約書亞 那裏，向他述說所遭遇的一切事；
24And said: The Lord hath delivered all this land into our hands, and all the inhabitants thereof are overthrown with fear.
24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。」
