Joshua 6:25 in English

And Joshua spared Rahab the prostitute, with her father’s household and all who belonged to her, because she hid the men Joshua had sent to spy out Jericho. So she has lived among the Israelites to this day.
Context
23Basi wale vijana waliofanya upelelezi wakaenda kumleta Rahabu, baba yake na mama yake, na ndugu zake na watu wote waliokuwa pamoja naye. Wakaleta jamaa yake yote na kuwaweka mahali nje ya kambi ya Israeli. 24Kisha wakauchoma mji wote na kila kitu kilichokuwamo ndani yake. Lakini fedha, dhahabu, vyombo vya shaba na vya chuma wakaviweka katika hazina ya nyumba ya Bwana. 25Lakini Yoshua akamhifadhi Rahabu yule kahaba, jamaa yake yote na wote waliokuwa wa kwake, kwa sababu aliwaficha watu waliotumwa na Yoshua kuipeleleza Yeriko, naye anaishi miongoni mwa Waisraeli hata leo. 26Wakati ule Yoshua akatamka kiapo hiki akasema, “Aliyelaaniwa mbele za Bwana ni mtu atakayeinuka kuujenga tena mji huu wa Yeriko:
“Kwa gharama ya mzaliwa wake wa kwanza wa kiume
ataiweka misingi yake;
kwa gharama ya mtoto wake wa mwisho
atayaweka malango yake.” 27Hivyo Bwana alikuwa pamoja na Yoshua, na sifa zake zikaenea katika nchi yote.
