Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / exclamations
הִנֵּ֛ה
see/lo/see!
The author is using the term Behold to focus attention on what he is about to say. Your language may have a comparable expression that you could use in your translation.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / go
אֲנַ֥חְנוּ בָאִ֖ים
we come
Your language may say “go” rather than come in contexts such as this. Use whichever is more natural. Alternate translation: “we are about to go”
Note 3 topic: translate-unknown
הַשָּׁנִ֨י

The word scarlet refers to a bright red color. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could indicate that explicitly. Alternate translation: “the bright red material” or “the crimson material”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
בֵּ֣ית אָבִ֔יךְ
house_of father's,your
The two men are speaking of Rahab’s family as if they were her father’s house. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning with a similar expression or express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “the household of your father” or “of your family”
Connecting Statement:
The Israelite spies clarify the condition they expressed in Joshua 2:15.
2:1-24 Like any good military commander, Joshua sent out spies or scouts to get information about his objective.
• Because Israel planned to approach Canaan from the east, they could not bypass Jericho.
