Joshua 22
1 Eka Joshua noluongo jo-Reuben, jo-Gad kod nus mar dhood Manase
Then did Joshua call the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half tribe of Menasseh,
2 mowachonegi niya, “Usetimo gigo duto mane Musa jatich Jehova Nyasaye ochiko, kendo bende useluora e gigo duto mane achikou.
And he said unto them, Ye have indeed kept all that Moses the servant of the Lord commanded you, and ye have obeyed my voice in all that I commanded you:
3 Kuom kinde mangʼeny nyaka kawuononi, pok ujwangʼo oweteu, to usetimo tich mane Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu omiyou.
Ye have not forsaken your brethren these many days, until this day; but ye have kept the obligation of the commandment of the Lord your God.
4 Ka koro Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu osemiyo oweteu kwe kaka ne osesingo, doguru e miechu e piny mane Musa jatich Jehova Nyasaye nomiyou e bath aora Jordan kocha.
And now the Lord your God hath given rest unto your brethren, as he promised them; therefore now turn yourselves, and get you unto your tents, unto the land of your possession, which Moses the servant of the Lord gave unto you on the other side of the Jordan.
5 To beduru motangʼ kurito puonj kod chike mane Musa jatich Jehova Nyasaye omiyou kama: heruru Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu, wuothuru e yorene duto, luoruru chikene, padreuru kuome kendo tineuru gi ngimau duto.”
Only take diligent heed to practise the commandment and the law, which Moses the servant of the Lord hath commanded you, to love the Lord your God, and to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments, and to cleave unto him, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul.
6 Bangʼe Joshua nogwedhogi mi oorogi, kendo negidok e miechgi.
And Joshua blessed them, and sent them away; and they went unto their tents.
7 To ne nus mar dhood Manase, Musa nomiyogi piny mantiere Bashan, to nus machielo mar dhoodno, Joshua nomiyogi piny mantiere yo podho chiengʼ mar aora Jordan kaachiel gi owetene. Kane Joshua osegologi mondo gidog e miechgi, nogwedhogi kowacho niya,
Now to the one half of the tribe of Menasseh Moses had given possession in Bashan; but unto the other half thereof gave Joshua with their brethren on this side of the Jordan westward; and when Joshua sent them also away unto their tents, he blessed them;
8 “Ero udok e miechu gi mwandu mangʼeny kaka kweth mar jamni mathoth, fedha, dhahabu, mula gi nyinyo, kod lewni mangʼeny kendo neuru ni upogone oweteu gigo mane upeyo kuom wasiku.”
And he said unto them, as followeth, With much riches return unto your tents, and with very much cattle, with silver, and with gold, and with copper, and with iron, and with very many garments: divide the spoil of your enemies with your brethren.
9 Omiyo jo-Reuben, jo-Gad kod nus mar dhood Manase noweyo jo-Israel Shilo mantiere Kanaan, mondo gidogi Gilead, pinygi giwegi, mane giyudo kaluwore gi chik Jehova Nyasaye kokalo kuom Musa.
And the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half tribe of Menasseh returned, and departed from the children of Israel from Shiloh, which is in the land of Canaan, to go unto the country of Gil'ad, to the land of their possession, whereof they were possessed, according to the order of the Lord by the hand of Moses.
10 Kane gibiro Geliloth but aora Jordan e piny Kanaan, jo-Reuben, jo-Gad kod nus mar dhood Manase nogero kendo mar misango machiegni gi aora Jordan.
And when they came unto the districts of the Jordan, that are in the land of Canaan, the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half tribe of Menasseh built there an altar by the Jordan, a great altar for a show.
11 To ka jo-Israel nowinjo ni negisegero kendo mar misango e tongʼ Kanaan kama iluongo ni Geliloth but aora Jordan yo kor jo-Israel,
And the children of Israel heard, as followeth, Behold, the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half tribe of Menasseh have built an altar in the front of the land of Canaan, in the districts of the Jordan, at the side belonging to the children of Israel.
12 oganda duto mar Israel nochokore Shilo mondo gidhi giked kodgi.
And when the children of Israel heard it, the whole congregation of the children of Israel assembled themselves together at Shiloh, to go up against them to war.
13 Omiyo jo-Israel nooro Finehas wuod Eliazar jadolo, e piny Gilead, ir jo-Reuben, jo-Gad kod nus mar dhood Manase,
And the children of Israel sent unto the children of Reuben, and to the children of Gad, and the half tribe of Menasseh, into the land of Gil'ad, Phinehas the son of Elazar the priest.
14 mi nodhi gi jotelo apar mag dhout Israel kamoro ka moro ochungʼ ne dhoot ka dhoot.
And ten princes with him, one prince each for every division of all the tribes of Israel; and each one was a head of their family divisions among the thousands of Israel.
15 Kane gidhi Gilead, ir dhood Reuben, Gad kod nus mar dhood Manase, negiwachonegi niya,
And they came unto the children of Reuben, and to the children of Gad, and to the half tribe of Menasseh, unto the land of Gil'ad, and they spoke with them, saying:
16 “Oganda duto mar Jehova Nyasaye wacho kama: Ere gima omiyo uketho winjruok maru gi Nyasach Israel? Ere gima omiyo ungʼanyo ni Jehova Nyasaye mi ugero kendo mar misango ni un uwegi e yor wangʼ teko?
Thus have said the whole congregation of the Lord, What trespass is this that ye have committed against the God of Israel to turn away this day from following the Lord, in that ye have built yourselves an altar, that ye might rebel this day against the Lord?
17 Donge richo mane watimo Peor oromo? Nyaka chil kawuono kum mane Jehova Nyasaye omiyowa pok orumo!
Have we had too little in the iniquity of Peor, —from which we are not yet cleansed until this day, —when there was a plague in the congregation of the Lord?
18 Uparo ni kumno ne yot ma pod udhi nyime mana ne ngʼanyo ni Jehova Nyasaye? “‘Ka dipo ni pod ukwedo Jehova Nyasaye kawuono, to kiny iye biro wangʼ gi jo-Israel duto.
And will ye turn away this day from following the Lord? and it will be, that when ye will rebel this day against the Lord, tomorrow he will be wroth with the whole congregation of Israel.
19 Ka piny ma ukawoni odwanyore, to biuru e piny Jehova Nyasaye, kama ogurie hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye, kendo mondo udag kodwa e pinyni. To kik ukwed Jehova Nyasaye kata mana wan bende ka ugero kendo mar misango ne un uwegi, makmana kendo mar misango mar Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachwa kende.
But, notwithstanding, if the land of your possession be unclean, then pass ye over unto the land of the possession of the Lord, wherein dwelleth the tabernacle of the Lord, and take possession in the midst of us; but rebel not against the Lord and against us do not rebel, in building yourselves an altar beside the altar of the Lord our God.
20 Donge uparo kaka Akan wuod Zera notimo richo e nyim Jehova Nyasaye, momiyo oganda jo-Israel duto okum? Ok en kende ema notho nikech richone.’”
Did not 'Achan the son of Zerach commit a trespass on the devoted things, and wrath fell on all the congregation of Israel? and he, though but one man, perished not alone in his iniquity.
21 Jo-Reuben, Gad kod nus mar dhood Manase nodwoko jotend anywola mag jo-Israel niya,
But the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half tribe of Menasseh answered, and they spoke unto the heads of the thousands of Israel,
22 “Jehova Nyasaye en Nyasaye Maratego! Jehova Nyasaye en Nyasaye Maratego! Ongʼeyo gik moko duto! Israel mondo ongʼe! Ka dipo ni ma notim e yor ngʼanyo, kata bedo maonge gi luor ne Jehova Nyasaye, to kik ingʼwon-nwa kawuono.
The God of gods, the Eternal, the God of gods, the Eternal, he knoweth, and Israel also shall know: if it be in rebellion, or if in transgression against the Lord, [aid us not this day, ]
23 Ka dipo ni wagero kendowa mar misango owuon mondo waa ir Jehova Nyasaye kendo mondo wachiw misango miwangʼo pep kod chiwo mar cham, kata ni wachiw misango mar lalruok kuome, to mad Jehova Nyasaye kumwa kaka joma osetimo richo.
That we have built us an altar to turn away from following the Lord; or if to offer thereon burnt-offering or meat-offering, or if to offer thereon peace-offerings, may the Lord himself require it;
24 “Ooyo! Ne watimo kamano nikech chiengʼ moro nyikwawa nyalo wachone nyikwau ni, ‘En angʼo ma wanyalo timo gi Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasach Israel?
Or whether we have not done it for fear of this thing, saying, In time to come your children might say unto our children, as followeth, What have ye to do with the Lord, the God of Israel?
25 Jehova Nyasaye oseketo aora Jordan mondo opog kindwa kodu, un joka Reuben kod joka Gad! Uonge kod pok moro kuom Jehova Nyasaye.’ Omiyo nyikwau nyalo miyo nyikwawa weyo luoro Jehova Nyasaye.
For the Lord hath made a boundary between us and you, ye children of Reuben and children of Gad, —the Jordan; ye have no part in the Lord: thus might your children make our children cease so as not to fear the Lord.
26 “Mano emomiyo nwawacho ni, ‘Waikreuru kendo wager kendo mar misango, to ok mar misango miwangʼo pep, kata ni sewni mamoko.’
Wherefore we said, Let us now act for ourselves to build this altar, not for burnt-offering, nor for sacrifice;
27 To kata kamano, ma onego obed ranyisi e kindwa kodu to gi tiengʼ mabiro bangʼwa, ni wabiro lamo Jehova Nyasaye e kare maler mar lemo ka wachiwone misango miwangʼo pep, misengini mamoko kod misango mar lalruok. Bangʼe ndalo mabiro nyikwau ok nowach ne nyikwawa ni, ‘Uonge gi pok kuom Jehova Nyasaye.’
But it shall be a witness between us, and you, and our generations after us, that we may perform the service of the Lord before him with our burnt-offerings, and with our sacrifices, and with our, peace-offerings; and that your children may not say in time to come to our children, Ye have no portion in the Lord.
28 “To ne wawacho niya, ‘Ka dipo ni giwachonwa ma, kata ne nyikwawa to wabiro dwoko kama: Neuru kendo mar misango mar Jehova Nyasaye, mane kwerewa ogero, mondo obed kaka ranyisi e kindwa kodu, to ok ni chiwo misango miwangʼo pep.’
And we said, that it shall be! when they should say this to us and to our generations in time to come, that we may say, Behold the pattern of the altar of the Lord, which our fathers made, not for burnt-offering, nor for sacrifice; but it is a witness between us and you.
29 “Mad wabed mabor gi ngʼanyone Jehova Nyasaye, mi walokre waa kuome kawuono ka wagero kendo mar misango miwangʼo pep, chiwo mar cham kod misengini mamoko moloyo kendo mar misango mar Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachwa mochungʼ e nyim kare maler.”
Far be it from us that we should rebel against the Lord, and turn away this day from following the Lord, to build an altar for burnt-offering, for meat-offering, or for sacrifice, beside the altar of the Lord our God that is before his dwelling.
30 Kane Finehas jadolo kod jotend gwengʼ, ma gin jotend anywola mar jo-Israel, nowinjo gima Reuben, Gad kod Manase nowacho, negibedo gi mor.
And when Phinehas the priest, and the princes of the congregation and the heads of the thousands of Israel who were with him, heard the words which the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the children of Menasseh had spoken, it was pleasing in their eyes.
31 Kendo Finehas wuod Eliazar ma jadolo, nowachone Reuben, Gad kod Manase niya, “Kawuono wangʼeyo ni Jehova Nyasaye nikodwa, nikech ok usetimo gima Jehova Nyasaye okwero. Kuom mano usereso jo-Israel kuom kum mar Jehova Nyasaye.”
And Phinehas the son of Elazar the priest said unto the children of Reuben, and to the children of Gad, and to the children of Menasseh, This day do we know that the Lord is in our midst, because ye have not committed this trespass against the Lord: now have ye delivered the children of Israel out of the hand of the Lord.
32 Bangʼe Finehas wuod Eliazar ma jadolo, kod jotelo noduogo Kanaan koa e romogi gi jo-Reuben kod jo-Gad mane nitiere Gilead kendo ne gidwokone jo-Israel wach.
And Phinehas the son of Elazar the priest, and the princes, returned from the children of Reuben, and from the children of Gad, out of the land of Gil'ad, unto the land of Canaan, to the children of Israel, and they brought them word again.
33 Negimor kuom winjo wachni kendo negipako Nyasaye. Ne ok gichako giwuoyo kendo kuom dhi kedo kodgi mondo giketh piny ma dhood Reuben kod Gad odakie.
And the thing was pleasing in the eyes of the children of Israel; and the children of Israel blessed God; and they did not speak any more to go up against them to battle, to destroy the land wherein the children of Reuben and Gad dwelt.
34 Dhood Reuben kod Gad nomiyo kendo mar misangono nying machalo kama: Ranyisi e Kindwa ni Jehova Nyasaye en Nyasaye.
And the children of Reuben and the children of Gad called the altar [“'Ed”]; for [they said] it is a witness between us that the Eternal is God.
