Joshua 1

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

Now it came to pass after the death of Moses the servant of the LORD, that the LORD spake unto 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, thou, and all this people, unto 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 upon, to you have I given it, as I spake unto 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 unto the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and unto the great sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your border.

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 thee all the days of thy life: as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee: I will not fail thee nor forsake thee.

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 thou shalt cause this people to inherit the land which I sware unto 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 strong and very courageous, to observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest have good success whithersoever thou goest.

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 thy mouth, but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt 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 thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not affrighted, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.

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 midst of the camp, and command the people, saying, Prepare you victuals; for within three days ye are to pass over this Jordan, to go in to possess the land, which the LORD your God giveth 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 the half tribe of Manasseh, spake 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 giveth you rest, and will give 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 abide in the land which Moses gave you beyond Jordan; but ye shall pass over before your brethren armed, all the mighty men of valour, and shall 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 brethren rest, as [he hath given] you, and they also have possessed the land which the LORD your God giveth them: then ye shall return unto the land of your possession, and possess it, which Moses the servant of the LORD gave you beyond Jordan toward the sunrising.

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

And they answered Joshua, saying, All that thou hast commanded us we will do, and whithersoever thou sendest 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 hearkened unto Moses in all things, so will we hearken unto thee: only the LORD thy God be with thee, 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!”

Whosoever he be that shall rebel against thy commandment, and shall not hearken unto thy words in all that thou commandest him, he shall be put to death: only be strong and of a good courage.
