Joshua 6
1 Koro Jeriko nolor motegno nikech jo-Israel kendo onge ngʼama ne nyalo wuok oko kata donjo iye.
(Now Jericho was all shut up because of the children of Israel: there was no going out or coming in.)
2 Bangʼe Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ni Joshua niya, “Ne, asechiwo Jeriko gi ruodhe e lweti, kaachiel gi jolweny mage.
And the Lord said to Joshua, See, I have given into your hands Jericho with its king and all its men of war.
3 Lworuru dala maduongʼno dichiel ka un gi giu mag lweny kendo timuru ma kuom ndalo auchiel.
Now let all your fighting-men make a circle round the town, going all round it once. Do this for 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 let seven priests go before the ark with seven loud-sounding horns in their hands: on the seventh day you are to go round the town seven times, the priests blowing their horns.
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 at the sound of a long note on the horns, let all the people give a loud cry; and the wall of the town will come down flat, and all the people are to go straight forward.
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.”
Then Joshua, the son of Nun, sent for the priests and said to them, Take up the ark of the agreement, and let seven priests take seven horns in their hands and go before the ark of the Lord.
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 he said to the people, Go forward, circling the town, and let the armed men go before the ark of the Lord.
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.
So after Joshua had said this to the people, the seven priests with their seven horns went forward before the Lord, blowing on their horns: and the ark of the Lord's agreement went after 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 who were blowing the horns, and the mass of the people went after the ark, blowing their horns.
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 to the people Joshua gave an order, saying, You will give no cry, and make no sound, and let no word go out of your mouth till the day when I say, Give a loud cry; then give a loud cry.
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 made the ark of the Lord go all round the town once: then they went back to the tents for the night.
12 Joshua nochiewo gokinyi mangʼich kinyne kendo jodolo nokawo Sandug Muma mar Jehova Nyasaye.
And early in the morning Joshua got up, and the priests took up the ark of the Lord.
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 with their seven horns went on before the ark of the Lord, blowing their horns: the armed men went before them, and the mass of the people went after the ark of the Lord, blowing their horns.
14 E odiechiengʼ mar ariyo negilworo dala maduongʼno dichiel bangʼe gidok e kambi kendo negitimo kamano kuom ndalo auchiel.
The second day they went all round the town once, and then went back to their tents: and so they did for 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.
Then on the seventh day they got up early, at the dawn of the day, and went round the town in the same way, but that day they went round it 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 the seventh time, at the sound of the priests' horns, Joshua said to the people, Now give a loud cry; for the Lord has given you the town.
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 town will be put to the curse, and everything in it will be given to the Lord: only Rahab, the loose woman, and all who are in the house with her, will be kept safe, because she kept secret the men 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.
And as for you, keep yourselves from the cursed thing, for fear that you may get a desire for it and take some of it for yourselves, and so be the cause of a curse and great trouble on the tents of Israel.
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 the vessels of brass and iron are holy to the Lord: they are to come into the store-house of the Lord.
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 gave a loud cry, and the horns were sounded; and on hearing the horns the people gave a loud cry, and the wall came down flat, so that the people went up into the town, every man going straight before him, and they took the town.
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 put everything in the town to the curse; men and women, young and old, ox and sheep and ass, they put to death without mercy.
22 Joshua nowachone jonon piny ariyogo niya, “Dhiuru e od Rahab kendo ukele kaachiel gi joodgi duto, kaluwore gi singruok mane uketo kode.”
Then Joshua said to the two men who had been sent to make a search through the land, Go into the house of the loose woman, and get her out, and all who are with her, as you gave her your oath.
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.
So the searchers went in and got out Rahab and her father and mother and her brothers and all she had, and they got out all her family; and they took them outside the tents 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.
Then, after burning up the town and everything in it, they put the silver and gold and the vessels of brass and iron into the store-house of the Lord's house.
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 Joshua kept Rahab, the loose woman, and her father's family and all she had, from death, and so she got a living-place among the children of Israel to this day; because she kept safe the men whom Joshua had sent to make a search through the land.
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.”
Then Joshua gave the people orders with an oath, saying, Let that man be cursed before the Lord who puts his hand to the building up of this town: with the loss of his first son will he put the first stone of it in place, and with the loss of his youngest son he will put up its doors.
27 Omiyo Jehova Nyasaye ne nigi Joshua kendo humbe nolandore e pinyno duto.
So the Lord was with Joshua; and news of him went through all the land.
