Joshua 9

1 Ruodhi duto mane odak yo podho chiengʼ mar aora Jordan nowinjo humb wechego; mane gin ruodhi moa e tiend gode mag pinyno, gi ruodhi moa yo podho chiengʼ mar gode gi mago moa e wedhe mag Nam Mediterania kaachiel gi ruodhi moa Lebanon (mane gin ruodhi mag jo-Hiti, jo-Amor, jo-Kanaan, jo-Perizi, jo-Hivi kod mago mag jo-Jebus);

And when all the Kings that were beyonde Iorden, in the mountaines and in the valleis, and by all the coastes of the great Sea ouer against Lebanon (as the Hittites, and the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Perizzites, the Hiuites, and the Iebusites) heard thereof,

2 ruodhigo noriwore giduto mondo giked gi Joshua kod jo-Israel.

They gathered themselues together, to fight against Ioshua, and against Israel with one accord.

3 Kata kamano, kane jo-Gibeon owinjo gima Joshua notimone Jeriko kod Ai,

But the inhabitants of Gibeon heard what Ioshua had done vnto Iericho, and to Ai.

4 negiparo mondo giwuonde. Negidhi kaka jogo man-gi punde motingʼo ogunde moti gi piende divai moti kendo obaw.

And therefore they wrought craftily: for they went, and fayned themselues ambassadours, and tooke olde sackes vpon their asses, and olde bottels for wine, both rent and bound vp,

5 Jogi norwako wuoch moyiech kod lewni moti. Makati mane gin-go duto nokethore.

And olde shoes and clouted vpon their feete: also the raiment vpon them was old, and all their prouision of bread was dried, and mouled.

6 Eka negidhi ir Joshua e kambi man Gilgal mi giwachone Joshua kod jo-Israel niya, “Wawuok e piny mabor, omiyo yie watim kodu winjruok.”

So they came vnto Ioshua into the hoste to Gilgal, and said vnto him, and vnto the men of Israel, Wee be come from a farre countrey: nowe therefore make a league with vs.

7 Jo-Israel nowacho ni jo-Hivi niya, “To ka dipo ni udak kodwa machiegni, ere kaka dwa los kodu winjruok?”

Then the men of Israel said vnto the Hiuites, It may be that thou dwellest among vs, how then can I make a league with thee?

8 Negiwachone Joshua niya, “Wan jotichu.” To Joshua nopenjogi niya, “Un ngʼa gini to bende ua kanye?”

And they said vnto Ioshua, We are thy seruants. Then Ioshua saide vnto them, Who are ye? and whence come ye?

9 Negidwoko niya, “Jotichni oa e piny mabor ahinya nikech humb Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachi. Wasewinjo humb gik mane otimo Misri,

And they answered him, From a very farre countrey thy seruants are come for the Name of the Lord thy God: for we haue heard his fame and all that he hath done in Egypt,

10 kendo gigo duto mane otimone ruodhi ariyo mag jo-Amor man yo wuok chiengʼ mar aora Jordan, ma gin Sihon ruodh Heshbon kod Og ruodh Bashan, mane odak Ashtaroth.

And all that he hath done to the two Kings of the Amorites that were beyonde Iorden, to Sihon King of Heshbon, and to Og King of Bashan, which were at Ashtaroth.

11 Omiyo jodongwa kod ji duto modak e pinywa nowachonwa kama, ‘Kawuru gik mudhiyo godo e wuoth, dhiuru kendo urom kodgi ma uwachnegi niya, “Wan jotiju, losuru kodwa winjruok.”’

Wherefore our elders, and all the inhabitants of our countrey spake to vs, saying, Take vitailes with you for the iourney, and go to meete them, and say vnto them, Wee are your seruants: now therefore make ye a league with vs.

12 Neuru makati mwatingʼogi, ne giliet ka wachako wuoth, to koro sani gikethore.

This our bread we tooke it hote with vs for vittailes out of our houses, the day we departed to come vnto you: but nowe beholde, it is dried, and it is mouled.

13 Piend divai mane wapongʼo bende ne nyien, to koro neye kaka giyiech. Lepwa kod wuochewa bende oseti nikech wuoth marabora ahinya.”

Also these bottels of wine which we filled, were newe, and lo, they be rent, and these our garments and our shooes are olde, by reason of the exceeding great iourney.

14 Jotelo moko mag jo-Israel nobilo chiemb jogo ka ok gipenjo Jehova Nyasaye wach.

And the men accepted their tale concerning their vittailes, and counselled not with the mouth of the Lord.

15 Omiyo Joshua noketo winjruok mar kwe kodgi mondo oyienegi gidag kodgi, kendo jotelo ne opwodho ma ka gikwongʼore.

So Ioshua made peace with them, and made a league with them, that he would suffer them to liue: also the Princes of the Congregation sware vnto them.

16 Ndalo adek bangʼ kane giseloso winjruok gi jo-Gibeon, jo-Israel nowinjo ni jogo gin mana joma odak kodgi machiegni.

But at the end of three dayes, after they had made a league with them, they heard that they were their neighbours, and that they dwelt among them.

17 Omiyo jo-Israel nowuok, to odiechiengʼ mar adek negichopo e miechgi madongo kaka: Gibeon, Kefira, Beeroth, kod Kiriath Jearim.

And the children of Israel tooke their iourney, and came vnto their cities the third day, and their cities were Gibeon, and Chephirah, and Beeroth and Kiriath-iearim.

18 Jo-Israel ne ok omonjogi, nikech jotend kambi nosesingore ka kwongʼore kodgi e nyim Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasach jo-Israel. Kata kamano, ji duto nongʼur gi jotendgi,

And the children of Israel slewe them not, because the Princes of the Congregation had sworne vnto them by the Lord God of Israel: wherefore all the Congregation murmured against the Princes.

19 to jotelogo duto nowacho niya, “Wasemiyogi singruok marwa e nying Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasach Israel, omiyo koro ok wanyal mulogi.

Then all the Princes said vnto all the Congregation, We haue sworne vnto them by the Lord God of Israel: nowe therefore we may not touch them.

20 Ma e gima wabiro timonegi: ‘Wabiro wegi gidagi mondo kik mirima bi kuomwa nikech waketho kwongʼruok mane wasingonegi.’”

But this we wil doe to them, and let them liue, least the wrath be vpon vs because of the othe which we sware vnto them.

21 Negidhi nyime kagiwacho niya, “Wegi gidagi, mondo gibednwa jobar yien gi joumb pi ni jowa duto.” Omiyo jotelo norito singruok margi.

And the Princes sayd vnto them againe, Let them liue, but they shall hewe wood, and drawe water vnto all the Congregation, as the Princes appoint them.

22 Eka Joshua noluongo jo-Gibeon kendo owachonegi niya, “Angʼo momiyo ne uwuondowa ka uwacho ni, ‘Wadak mochwalore kodu,’ to kuom adier udak mana butwa?

Ioshua then called them, and talked with them, and sayd, Wherefore haue ye beguiled vs, saying, We are very farre from you, when ye dwel among vs?

23 Un joma okwongʼ! Ok unuwe tiyonwa kaka jobar yien gi joumb pi e od Nyasacha.”

Now therefore ye are cursed, and there shall none of you be freed from being bondmen, and hewers of wood, and drawers of water for the house of my God.

24 Negidwoko Joshua niya, “Jotichni notimo kamano nikech Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachi nochiko Musa jatichne mondo omiu pinyni duto kendo uneg ji duto modakie. Omiyo ne waluor nikech un, kendo mano ema nomiyo watimo kamano.

And they answered Ioshua, and sayd, Because it was tolde thy seruants, that the Lord thy God had commanded his seruant Moses to giue you all the land, and to destroy all the inhabitants of the land out of your sight, therefore we were exceeding sore afraid for our liues at the presence of you, and haue done this thing:

25 Koro to wan e lweti. Timnwauru gimoro amora muneno ni ber kendo longʼonu.”

And beholde nowe, we are in thine hand: doe as it seemeth good and right in thine eyes to doe vnto vs.

26 Omiyo Joshua nokonyogi kuom jo-Israel ma ok ginegogi.

Euen so did he vnto them, and deliuered them out of the hand of the children of Israel, that they slewe them not.

27 E odiechiengʼno noketo jo-Gibeon obedo jobar yien gi joumb pi ni jo-Israel duto kendo ni tich kendo mar misango mar Jehova Nyasaye kama Jehova Nyasaye biro yiero. Kendo mano e gima gin nyaka chil kawuono.

And Ioshua appointed them that same day to be hewers of wood, and drawers of water for the Congregation, and for the altar of the Lord vnto this day, in the place which he should chuse.
