Joshua 2
1 Bangʼe Joshua wuod Nun nooro jonon piny ariyo lingʼ-lingʼ moa Shitim. Nowachonegi niya, “Dhiuru, ungʼi pinyni, to moloyo Jeriko.” Omiyo negidhi ma gidonjo e od dhako moro mandhaga ma nyinge Rahab, mi gidak kanyo.
And Joshua, the son of Nun, had sent out from Shittim two men as spies, secretly, saying, Go ye, view the land and especially Jericho; and they went, and came unto the house of a woman, a harlot, whose name was Rachab, and they lodged there.
2 Ruodh Jeriko nonyisi niya, “Ngʼe ni jo-Israel moko osebiro ka gotienoni mondo onon pinywa.”
And it was told unto the king of Jericho, saying, Behold, men came in hither this night, of the children of Israel, to search out the country.
3 Omiyo ruodh Jeriko nooro wach ni Rahab niya, “Gol oko jogo mane obiro iri kendo odonjo e odi, nikech gisebiro mondo gitim nonro ma lingʼ-lingʼ e pinyni duto.”
And the king of Jericho sent to Rachab, saying, Bring forth the men who are come to thee, who came to thy house; for, to search out all the country are they come.
4 Kata kamano, Rahab nosekawo ji ariyogi kendo opandogi. Nowacho niya, “En adier, ni jogi nobiro ira, to ne ok angʼeyo ni gia kanye.
But the woman had taken the two men, and hidden them; and she said, It is true, the men came unto me, but I knew not whence they were.
5 E seche mag angʼich welo, e sa michiegoe dhoranga dala maduongʼ, jogi nowuok. Ok angʼeyo yo mane gidhiyoe. Ringuru bangʼ-gi piyo. Unyalo makogi.”
And it came to pass, about the time of shutting the gate, when it was dark, that the men went out; I know not whither the men are gone: pursue quickly after them, for ye can overtake them.
6 To chutho, noyudo ka osepando jogi ewi tado e bwo othith mane opedhi ewi tado kanyo.
But she had brought them up to the roof, and had hidden them among the stalks of flax, which she had laid in order upon the roof.
7 Omiyo oganda mar ruodh pinyno nowuok piyo ka gilawogi e yo mochiko aora Jordan, kendo mana gisano ka jogo mane lawogi nosewuok oko, dhorangajno nolor.
And the men pursued after them, by the way to the Jordan unto the fords; and the gate was closed, as soon as those who pursued after them were gone out.
8 Kane jonon pinygo ne pok odhi nindo, dhakoni noidho modhi ewi tado,
But they had not yet laid themselves down, when she came up unto them upon the roof.
9 kendo mowachonegi niya, “Angʼeyo ni Jehova Nyasaye osemiyou pinyni kendo mano osemiyo luoro omako ngʼato ka ngʼato kuomwa, omiyo joma odak e pinyni kihondko osemako nikech un.
And she said unto them, I know that the Lord hath given you the land, and that the terror of you hath fallen upon us, and that all the inhabitants of the land are become faint-hearted, because of you.
10 Wasewinjo kaka Jehova Nyasaye nomiyo pi Nam Makwar oduono kane uwuok e piny Misri, kendo gima ne utimone Sihon kod Og, ruodhi ariyo mag jo-Amor modak yo wuok chiengʼ mar aora Jordan, mane uketho chuth.
For we have heard, how that the Lord dried up the waters of the Red Sea before you, when ye went forth out of Egypt; and what ye have done unto the two kings of the Emorites, who were on the other side of the Jordan, unto Sichon and 'Og, whom ye have utterly destroyed.
11 Kane wawinjo wachno, to kihondko nomakowa kendo chir duto mane ngʼato angʼata nigo norumo nikech un, kendo nikech Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu en Nyasaye manie polo malo kendo e piny mwalo.
And when we heard this, our heart melted, and there remained not any more courage in any man, because of you; for the Lord your God is alone God in the heavens above, and upon the earth beneath.
12 “Kuom mano, kwongʼrenauru gi Jehova Nyasaye ni ubiro ngʼwonone jooda, nikech an bende asetimonu ngʼwono. Singrenauru
And now swear, I pray you, unto me by the Lord, because I have shown you kindness, that ye will also, for your part, show kindness, unto my father's house; and give me a sure token,
13 ni ubiro ngʼwonone wuonwa kod minwa, owetena kod nyiminena, kod jogegi duto, kendo ni ubiro resowa mondo kik watho.”
That ye will preserve the life of my father, and my mother, and my brothers, and my sisters, and all that they have, and deliver our lives from death.
14 Jogi nowachone adier niya, “Ngimau en ngimawa! Ka ok uwacho gino ma watimo, to wabiro bedo kodu gi ngʼwono kod ratiro e ndalo ma Jehova Nyasaye nomiwa pinyni.”
And the men said unto her, Our life shall be [doomed] to death instead of yours, if ye tell not this our business; and it shall be, when the Lord giveth us the land, that we will show thee kindness and truth.
15 Omiyo nolorogi piny gi tol ka giluwo dirisa, nikech ot mane odakie ne ochwogi e kor ohinga mar dala maduongʼ.
Then she let them down by a cord through the window; for her house was within the town wall, and within the wall she dwelt.
16 E sa onogo nowachonegi niya, “Dhiuru e got mondo joma lawou kik yudu. Ponduru kuno kuom ndalo adek nyaka giduogi; eka udhi nyime giwuodhu.”
And she said unto them, Get you to the mountain, lest the pursuers meet with you; and hide yourselves there three days, until the pursuers be returned; and afterward ye may go your way.
17 Jogi nowachone niya, “Kwongʼ ma isemiyo wakwongʼore godo ok otweyowa,
And the men said unto her, We will be blameless of this thy oath which thou hast caused us to swear.
18 makmana, chiengʼ mwadonjo e pinyni, to nyaka itwe tol makwarni e dirisa kama ilorowanie, kendo nyaka ikel wuonu gi minu, oweteni gi joodi duto ei odi.
Behold, when we come into the land, this line of scarlet thread shalt thou bind in the window by which thou hast let us down; and thy father, and thy mother, and thy brothers, and all thy father's household, thou must bring together unto thee into the house.
19 Ka dipo ni ngʼato owuok e odi modhi e yore mag mier, rembe enobed e wiye owuon; ok enobed wachwa. To ne ngʼatno manobed kodi ei ot, rembe nobedi e wiwa ka dipo ni lwedo moro nomule.
And it shall be, that whosoever will go out of the doors of thy house into the street, his blood shall be upon his head, and we will be guiltless; and whosoever will remain with thee in the house, his blood shall be on our head, if a hand be laid upon him.
20 Makmana, ka dipo ni iwacho gino ma watimo, to inigonywa kuom kwongʼruok mane iketowa wakwongʼore godo.”
And if thou tell this our business, then will we be free of thy oath which thou hast caused us to swear.
21 Nowachonegi niya, “Wawinjore! Kendo mondo obed kaka uwachono.” Omiyo ne ogologi mi gidhi. Bangʼe notweyo tol makwar e dirisa.
And she said, According unto your words, so be it; and she dismissed them, and they departed; and she bound the scarlet line in the window.
22 Kane gisea, negidhi nyaka e gode mi gidak kuno kuom ndalo adek, manyaka joma ne lawogi otieko manyo kuonde duto ka giluwo yo mi gidwogo ma ok giyudogi.
And they went, and came unto the mountain, and they remained there three days, until the pursuers were returned; and the pursuers sought throughout all the way, but found nothing.
23 Eka jonon piny ariyogi nolor oa e gode. Negingʼado aora, mi gidhi ir Joshua wuod Nun, kendo giwachone gigo duto mane otimorenigi.
And the two men returned, and descended from the mountain, and passed over, and came to Joshua the son of Nun, and related to him all the things that had befallen them.
24 Negiwachone Joshua niya, “Adiera, Jehova Nyasaye osechiwo pinyni duto e lwetwa, bende jogo modak e pinyno kihondko osemako nikech wan.”
And they said unto Joshua, Truly the Lord hath given up into our hand all the country; for all the inhabitants of the country are already become faint-hearted because of us.
