< Joshua 6 >

1 Koro Jeriko nolor motegno nikech jo-Israel kendo onge ngʼama ne nyalo wuok oko kata donjo iye.
Now Jericho was straitly shut up because of the children of Israel: none went out, and none came in.
2 Bangʼe Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ni Joshua niya, “Ne, asechiwo Jeriko gi ruodhe e lweti, kaachiel gi jolweny mage.
And Jehovah said unto Joshua, See, I have given into thy hand Jericho, and the king thereof, and the mighty men of valor.
3 Lworuru dala maduongʼno dichiel ka un gi giu mag lweny kendo timuru ma kuom ndalo auchiel.
And ye shall compass the city, all the men of war, going about the city once. Thus shalt thou do six days.
4 Beduru gi jodolo abiriyo motingʼo turumbete molos gi tunge imbe e nyim Sandug Muma. E odiechiengʼ mar abiriyo, lworuru dala maduongʼno nyadibiriyo, ka jodolo goyo turumbetego.
And seven priests shall bear seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the ark: and the seventh day ye shall compass the city seven times, and the priests shall blow the trumpets.
5 Ka uwinjogi ka gigoyo turumbetegi matek, to ket ji duto ogo koko matek; bangʼe ohinga mar Jeriko nopodh piny kendo ji duto nodonj e iye.”
And it shall be, that, when they make a long blast with the ram’s horn, and when ye hear the sound of the trumpet, all the people shall shout with a great shout; and the wall of the city shall fall down flat, and the people shall go up every man straight before him.
6 Omiyo Joshua wuod Nun noluongo jodolo mowachonegi niya, “Tingʼuru Sandug Muma mar singruok mar Jehova Nyasaye kendo beduru gi jodolo abiriyo kotingʼo turumbete e nyime.”
And Joshua the son of Nun called the priests, and said unto them, Take up the ark of the covenant, and let seven priests bear seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the ark of Jehovah.
7 Eka nochiwo chik ne ji niya, “Dhiuru nyime! Lworuru dala maduongʼ, ka jolweny momanore gi gige lweny otelo e nyim Sandug Muma mar singruok mar Jehova Nyasaye.”
And they said unto the people, Pass on, and compass the city, and let the armed men pass on before the ark of Jehovah.
8 Kane Joshua osewuoyo gi ji, jodolo abiriyo mane otingʼo turumbete abiriyo e nyim Jehova Nyasaye nowuotho ka gigoyo turumbete, kendo Sandug Muma mar Singruok mar Jehova Nyasaye ne luwo bangʼ-gi.
And it was so, that, when Joshua had spoken unto the people, the seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams’ horns before Jehovah passed on, and blew the trumpets: and the ark of the covenant of Jehovah followed them.
9 Jolwenygo notelo e nyim jodolo mane goyo turumbete, to moko ne luwo bangʼ Sandug Muma, kendo e kindeno duto turumbete ne ywak.
And the armed men went before the priests that blew the trumpets, and the rearward went after the ark, [the priests] blowing the trumpets as they went.
10 Makmana Joshua nosiemo ji niya, “Kik uywag ywak mar lweny, kik utingʼ dwondu malo, bende kik uwach wach moro amora nyaka odiechiengʼ ma anakonue mondo ugo koko. Bangʼe eka unukogi!”
And Joshua commanded the people, saying, Ye shall not shout, nor let your voice be heard, neither shall any word proceed out of your mouth, until the day I bid you shout; then shall ye shout.
11 Omiyo negikawo Sandug Muma mar Jehova Nyasaye ka gilworogo dala maduongʼno dichiel. Bangʼe ji noduogo e kambi margi mi otienono ginindo kanyo.
So he caused the ark of Jehovah to compass the city, going about it once: and they came into the camp, and lodged in the camp.
12 Joshua nochiewo gokinyi mangʼich kinyne kendo jodolo nokawo Sandug Muma mar Jehova Nyasaye.
And Joshua rose early in the morning, and the priests took up the ark of Jehovah.
13 Jodolo abiriyo mane otingʼo turumbete abiriyo nodhi nyime, ka gipangore e nyim Sandug Muma mar Jehova Nyasaye kendo ka gigoyo turumbete. Ji momanore gi gige lweny notelo e nyimgi, to moko ne luwo bangʼ Sandug Muma mar Jehova Nyasaye ka turumbete dhi nyime gi ywak.
And the seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the ark of Jehovah went on continually, and blew the trumpets: and the armed men went before them; and the rearward came after the ark of Jehovah, [the priests] blowing the trumpets as they went.
14 E odiechiengʼ mar ariyo negilworo dala maduongʼno dichiel bangʼe gidok e kambi kendo negitimo kamano kuom ndalo auchiel.
And the second day they compassed the city once, and returned into the camp: so they did six days.
15 To chiengʼ mar abiriyo, ne gichiewo kogwen mi gilworo dala maduongʼno nyadibiriyo e yo machalre gi mamoko ka. Chiengʼno kende ema negilworo dala maduongʼno nyadibiriyo.
And it came to pass on the seventh day, that they rose early at the dawning of the day, and compassed the city after the same manner seven times: only on that day they compassed the city seven times.
16 E sa mane gilwore mar abiriyo ka jodolo ne pod goyo turumbete matek, Joshua nochiko ji kawacho niya, “Koguru matek, nimar Jehova Nyasaye osemiyou dala maduongʼni!
And it came to pass at the seventh time, when the priests blew the trumpets, Joshua said unto the people, Shout; for Jehovah hath given you the city.
17 Dala maduongʼni duto, to gi gik moko duto manie iye nyaka wene Jehova Nyasaye. Makmana Rahab, mochot, to gi jogo duto manie ode ema nongʼwon-ne, nikech nopando joma ne waoro mane obiro nono piny.
And the city shall be devoted, even it and all that is therein, to Jehovah: only Rahab the harlot shall live, she and all that are with her in the house, because she hid the messengers that we sent.
18 To beduru mabor gi gigo mowene Jehova Nyasaye, mondo kik ukel kethruok ne un uwuon kuom gimoro amora kuomgi. Ka ok kamano to unumi kambi mar jo-Israel bed mar kethruok kendo ukel chandruok kuome.
But as for you, only keep yourselves from the devoted thing, lest when ye have devoted it, ye take of the devoted thing; so would ye make the camp of Israel accursed, and trouble it.
19 Fedha gi dhahabu duto, kod gigo molos gi mula kod molos gi nyinyo owal ni Jehova Nyasaye kendo nyaka tergi kar keno mare.”
But all the silver, and gold, and vessels of brass and iron, are holy unto Jehovah: they shall come into the treasury of Jehovah.
20 Kane ogo turumbete, to ji ne goyo koko matek, kendo ka turumbete noywak, mi ji nogoyo koko matek, to ohinga mar Jeriko nopodho, omiyo ngʼato ka ngʼato nodonjo e dala maduongʼno mi gikawe.
So the people shouted, and [the priests] blew the trumpets: and it came to pass, when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, that the people shouted with a great shout, and the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they took the city.
21 Negiwalo dala maduongʼno ni Jehova Nyasaye ma giketho gimoro amora kendo ginego gi ligangla ngʼato angʼata madichwo kata madhako, jomatindo kata joma oti, dhok gi rombe kod punde.
And they utterly destroyed all that was in the city, both man and woman, both young and old, and ox, and sheep, and ass, with the edge of the sword.
22 Joshua nowachone jonon piny ariyogo niya, “Dhiuru e od Rahab kendo ukele kaachiel gi joodgi duto, kaluwore gi singruok mane uketo kode.”
And Joshua said unto the two men that had spied out the land, Go into the harlot’s house, and bring out thence the woman, and all that she hath, as ye sware unto her.
23 Omiyo rawere mane odhi nono pinyno nodhi Jeriko e od Rahab mi ogole kaachiel gi wuon-gi, min-gi, owetene kod joodgi duto. Negigolo anywolane duto oko mi giketogi oko mar kambi jo-Israel.
And the young men the spies went in, and brought out Rahab, and her father, and her mother, and her brethren, and all that she had; all her kindred also they brought out; and they set them without the camp of Israel.
24 Bangʼe ne giwangʼo dala maduongʼno duto, to gi gimoro amora manie iye, makmana fedha gi dhahabu, gi gik molos gi mula kod molos gi nyinyo noketi e kar keno mar od Jehova Nyasaye.
And they burnt the city with fire, and all that was therein; only the silver, and the gold, and the vessels of brass and of iron, they put into the treasury of the house of Jehovah.
25 Kamano Joshua noreso Rahab, dhako ma ochot, kaachiel gi anywolane nikech en ema nopando jonon piny mane Joshua ooro Jeriko kendo Rahab nodak e dier jo-Israel nyaka chil kawuono.
But Rahab the harlot, and her father’s household, and all that she had, did Joshua save alive; and she dwelt in the midst of Israel unto this day, because she hid the messengers, whom Joshua sent to spy out Jericho.
26 E sechego Joshua nolando kwongʼ makende niya, “Kwongʼ mar Jehova Nyasaye nobed kuom ngʼat manitem gero dala maduongʼ mar Jeriko kendo kama: “Koketo mise mare, to wuode makayo notho, to kochungo dhorangeyege; to wuode mogik notho.”
And Joshua charged them with an oath at that time, saying, Cursed be the man before Jehovah, that riseth up and buildeth this city Jericho: with the loss of his first-born shall he lay the foundation thereof, and with the loss of his youngest son shall he set up the gates of it.
27 Omiyo Jehova Nyasaye ne nigi Joshua kendo humbe nolandore e pinyno duto.
So Jehovah was with Joshua; and his fame was in all the land.
