Joshua 1

1 Kane Musa jatich Jehova Nyasaye osetho, Jehova Nyasaye nowachone Joshua wuod Nun, jakony Musa niya,

Now after the death of Moses the servant of the LORD it came to pass, that the LORD spoke to Joshua the son of Nun, Moses’ minister, saying,

2 Musa jatichna osetho. Omiyo sani, in kod jogi duto, ikreuru mondo ungʼad Aora Jordan e piny makoro achiegni miyo jo-Israel.

Moses my servant is dead; now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, you, and all this people, to the land which I do give to them, even to the children of Israel.

3 Kamoro amora ma tiendu nonyon anamiu, kaka nasingora ni Musa.

Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread on, that have I given to you, as I said to Moses.

4 Gwengʼi nochakre e kuonde motwo nyaka Lebanon, kendo koa e aora maduongʼ, ma en Yufrate; piny mar jo-Hiti duto; nyaka chop e Nam Mediterania mantiere yo podho chiengʼ.

From the wilderness and this Lebanon even to the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and to the great sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your coast.

5 Onge ngʼama noloyi e ndalo duto mar ngimani. Kaka ne an kod Musa, bende e kaka abiro bedo kodi; ok anaweyi kata jwangʼi.

There shall not any man be able to stand before you all the days of your life: as I was with Moses, so I will be with you: I will not fail you, nor forsake you.

6 “Bed motegno kendo gi chir; nikech ibiro telone jogi nyaka e piny mar girkeni mane akwongʼora ni kweregi ni namigi.

Be strong and of a good courage: for to this people shall you divide for an inheritance the land, which I swore to their fathers to give them.

7 Bed motegno kendo gi chir mogundho. Bed motangʼ mondo iluor chike duto mane jatichna Musa omiyi; kik ilokri korachwich kata koracham kiweyo chikegi, mano nomi ibed gi hawi kamoro amora midhiye.

Only be you strong and very courageous, that you may observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded you: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may prosper wherever you go.

8 Kik iwe Kitabu mar Chikni oa e dhogi; par wechene matut odiechiengʼ kod otieno, mondo mi ibed motangʼ kitimo gik moko duto mondik e iye. Mano biro miyo ibedo gi hawi e gimoro amora mitimo.

This book of the law shall not depart out of your mouth; but you shall meditate therein day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then you shall make your way prosperous, and then you shall have good success.

9 Par kaka asechiki. Bed motegno kendo gi chir. Kik iluor kendo kik chunyi nyosre; nikech an Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachi abiro bedo kodi kamoro amora midhiye.”

Have not I commanded you? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be you dismayed: for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.

10 Omiyo Joshua nochiwo chik ni jotend Israel niya,

Then Joshua commanded the officers of the people, saying,

11 “Dhiuru e kambi kendo unyis ji ni, ‘Ikuru gigeu mag lweny. Ndalo adek koa kawuono ubiro kalo aora Jordan gikae mondo udhi kendo ukaw mwandu mar piny ma Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu miyou kaka maru owuon.’”

Pass through the host, and command the people, saying, Prepare you victuals; for within three days you shall pass over this Jordan, to go in to possess the land, which the LORD your God gives you to possess it.

12 To joka Reuben, gi joka Gad kod nus mar dhood joka Manase, Joshua nowachonegi niya,

And to the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to half the tribe of Manasseh, spoke Joshua, saying,

13 “Paruru chike mane Musa jatich mar Jehova Nyasaye nomiyou, kowacho ni: ‘Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu miyou kar yweyo kendo osechiwonu pinyni.’

Remember the word which Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you, saying, The LORD your God has given you rest, and has given you this land.

14 Mondeu, nyithindu kod kweth mag jambu nyalo dak e piny mane Musa omiyou yo ka wuok chiengʼ mar aora Jordan, makmana jou makedo duto, moikore gi gige lweny, nyaka uidh loka kutelo e nyim oweteu ma jo-Israel. Konyuru oweteu,

Your wives, your little ones, and your cattle, shall remain in the land which Moses gave you on this side Jordan; but you shall pass before your brothers armed, all the mighty men of valor, and help them;

15 nyaka Jehova Nyasaye migi yweyo, mana kaka osetimoni, kendo nyaka gin bende gikaw mwandu mar piny ma Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu dhi miyogi. Bangʼ mano, unyalo dok kendo udagie pinyu owuon, mane Musa, jatich Jehova Nyasaye nomiyou bath aora Jordan ma yo wuok chiengʼ.”

Until the LORD have given your brothers rest, as he has given you, and they also have possessed the land which the LORD your God gives them: then you shall return to the land of your possession, and enjoy it, which Moses the LORD’s servant gave you on this side Jordan toward the sun rise.

16 Eka negidwoko Joshua niya, “Gimoro amora misechikowa wabiro timo, kendo kamoro amora mi iorowae wabiro dhiyoe.

And they answered Joshua, saying, All that you command us we will do, and wherever you send us, we will go.

17 Mana kaka ne waluoro Musa, bende e kaka wabiro luoroi. Mad Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu bed kodi kaka nobedo gi Musa.

According as we listened to Moses in all things, so will we listen to you: only the LORD your God be with you, as he was with Moses.

18 Ngʼato angʼata modagi winjo wachni kendo ok oluoro wecheni bende ok odewo chike mimiyogi, ibiro negi. Bed mana motegno kendo jachir!”

Whoever he be that does rebel against your commandment, and will not listen to your words in all that you command him, he shall be put to death: only be strong and of a good courage.
