Joshua 12

1 Magi e ruodhi mag pinje mane jo-Israel oloyo kendo mane gikawo gwengegi ma yo wuok chiengʼ mar aora Jordan, kochakore e holo mar Arnon nyaka e Got Hermon, moriwo nyaka yo wuok chiengʼ mar Araba.

The Israelis took control of the land that was east of the Jordan River, from the Arnon River gorge [in the south] to Hermon Mountain [in the north], including all the land on the eastern side of the Jordan [River] Valley. That land previously belonged to the two kings whose armies the Israelis defeated.

2 Negiloyo Sihon ma ruodh jo-Amor manodak Heshbon. Pinye nochakore Aroer man but holo mar Arnon koluwo holono nyaka e Aora Jabok, manie tongʼ mar jo-Amon. Ma noriwo nyaka nus mar Gilead.

One of them was Sihon, the king of the Amor people-group. He lived in Heshbon [city] and ruled over the area from Aroer [town] along the Arnon River Gorge, north to the Jabbok River. His land started in the middle of the gorge, which was the border between his land and the land of the Ammon people-group. Sihon also ruled over [the southern] half of the Gilead region,

3 Bende norito yo wuok chiengʼ mar Araba kochakore e Nam mar Kinereth nyaka e Nam mar Araba (tiende ni, Nam Chumbi), to nyaka Beth Jeshimoth, bangʼe nyaka yo milambo e tiend gode mag Pisga.

and over the land on the eastern side of the Jordan [River] Valley, from Galilee Lake [south] to the Dead Sea. He also ruled over the land [east of the Dead Sea] from Beth-Jeshimoth south to the side of Pisgah Mountain.

4 Kendo gwenge mag Og ruodh Bashan, achiel kuom mago mogik mag jo-Refai, ma lochne ne nitie Ashtaroth kod Edrei.

The other king whom the Israeli army defeated was Og, the king of the Bashan [region]. He was the last of the descendants of [the giant] Rapha. He ruled that land, living alternately in Ashtaroth and Edrei [cities].

5 Norito Got Hermon, Saleka, Bashan duto, nyaka e tongʼ mar jo-Geshur gi Maaka, kendo gi nus mar Gilead nyaka e tongʼ-gi gi Sihon, ruodh Heshbon.

He ruled over the area from Hermon Mountain and Salecah [in the north], and over all the Bashan area in the east, and to the borders of the kingdoms of Geshur and Maacah to the west. Og ruled [the northern] half of the Gilead region, as far as the border of the land ruled by King Sihon.

6 Musa, jatich Jehova Nyasaye kod jo-Israel noloyogi kendo Musa ma jatich Jehova Nyasaye nochiwo pinygino ne jo-Reuben, jo-Gad gi nus mar dhood Manase mondo obed kaka girkeni mag-gi.

Moses, the man who served Yahweh [well], and all the Israeli army defeated the armies of those kings. Then Moses gave that land to the tribes of Reuben and Gad and half of the tribe of Manasseh.

7 Magi e ruodhi mag pinyno mane Joshua kod jo-Israel oloyo yo podho chiengʼ mar aora Jordan, kochakore Baal Gad mantie e Holo mar Lebanon nyaka Got Halak mochakore yo Seir. Pinjegi duto Joshua nochiwo kaka girkeni ni dhout Israel kaluwore gi dhoutgi kaka opog-gi mondo obed mag-gi.

Joshua and the Israeli army also defeated kings who ruled over the land on the west side of the Jordan [River]. He gave that land to the Israeli people, dividing it among the other tribes. That land was between Baal-Gad [city] in the Lebanon Valley [in the far north all the way south] to Halak Mountain, which is near the land of the Edom people-group.

8 Ne en piny gode, gi pinje mantiere e tiend gode ma yo podho chiengʼ, Araba, pewe manie tiend gode, gi thim kod Negev. Kuondego ema ne jo-Hiti, jo-Amor, jo-Kanaan, jo-Perizi, jo-Hivi kod jo-Jebus odakie. Ruodhigo ne gin:

That land included the mountains, the western hilly area, the Jordan [River] Valley, the [western] slopes of the mountains, the desert [in Judea], and the Negev [desert in the south]. That whole area was the land where the Heth, Amor, Canaan, Periz, Hiv, and Jebus people-groups lived. The Israeli army defeated the armies of the kings of each of these cities:
