1 Malaika mar Jehova Nyasaye nodhi koa Gilgal nyaka Bokim kendo nowacho niya, “Ne agolou e piny Misri mi aterou nyaka e piny mane asingo ni anami kwereu, ka awachonegi ni ok anaketh singruokna kodu,
And the angel of Jehovah came up from Gilgal to Bochim. And he said, I made you to go up out of Egypt, and have brought you unto the land which I sware unto your fathers; and I said, I will never break my covenant with you:
2 kendo ok unulos winjruok moro gi jopinyni, to unumuk kendegi mag misango. Kata kamano, ok useluora. En angʼo momiyo usetimo ma?
and ye shall make no covenant with the inhabitants of this land; ye shall break down their altars. But ye have not hearkened unto my voice: why have ye done this?
3 Emomiyo koro anyisou ni ok anariembgi oko e nyimu; ginibed kuthe e ringreu kendo nyisechegi nobed tembe ne un.”
Wherefore I also said, I will not drive them out from before you; but they shall be [as thorns] in your sides, and their gods shall be a snare unto you.
4 Kane malaika mar Jehova Nyasaye nosewacho wechegi ne jo-Israel duto, ji noywak matek,
And it came to pass, when the angel of Jehovah spake these words unto all the children of Israel, that the people lifted up their voice, and wept.
5 kendo negiluongo kanyo ni Bokim. Kanyo ne gichiwoe misengini ne Jehova Nyasaye.
And they called the name of that place Bochim: and they sacrificed there unto Jehovah.
6 Bangʼ ka Joshua nosegolo jo-Israel, negidhi mondo gikaw pinyno, ka ngʼato ka ngʼato yudo pokne.
Now when Joshua had sent the people away, the children of Israel went every man unto his inheritance to possess the land.
7 Ji notiyone Jehova Nyasaye e ndalo duto mag ngima Joshua kod jodongo mane osedak higni moloye kendo mane oseneno gigo madongo ma Jehova Nyasaye osetimo ni Israel.
And the people served Jehovah all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders that outlived Joshua, who had seen all the great work of Jehovah that he had wrought for Israel.
8 Joshua wuod Nun, jatich Jehova Nyasaye, notho ka en ja-higni mia achiel gapar.
And Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of Jehovah, died, being a hundred and ten years old.
9 Kendo ne giike e lope mane opogne mantiere Timnath Sera e piny gode mag Efraim, mantiere yo nyandwat mar Got Gash.
And they buried him in the border of his inheritance in Timnath-heres, in the hill-country of Ephraim, on the north of the mountain of Gaash.
10 Bangʼ ka tiengʼno duto noseyweyo kod kweregi, tiengʼ machielo nochako dongo, mane ok ongʼeyo Jehova Nyasaye kata gima nosetimone jo-Israel.
And also all that generation were gathered unto their fathers: and there arose another generation after them, that knew not Jehovah, nor yet the work which he had wrought for Israel.
11 Eka jo-Israel notimo timbe mamono e nyim Jehova Nyasaye kendo gitiyone Baal.
And the children of Israel did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, and served the Baalim;
12 Negijwangʼo Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasach kweregi, mane ogologi e piny Misri. Negilamo nyiseche mopogore opogore mag ogendini mane odak e pinyno. Negimiyo Jehova Nyasaye mirima,
and they forsook Jehovah, the God of their fathers, who brought them out of the land of Egypt, and followed other gods, of the gods of the peoples that were round about them, and bowed themselves down unto them: and they provoked Jehovah to anger.
13 nikech ne gijwangʼe kendo gitiyone Baal kod jo-Ashtoreth.
And they forsook Jehovah, and served Baal and the Ashtaroth.
14 Jehova Nyasaye nobedo gi mirima gi jo-Israel mochiwogi e lwet wasikgi mondo omonjgi. Ne ochiwogi e lwet wasikgi kuonde duto mane ok ginyal tony.
And the anger of Jehovah was kindled against Israel, and he delivered them into the hands of spoilers that despoiled them; and he sold them into the hands of their enemies round about, so that they could not any longer stand before their enemies.
15 Kinde duto mane jo-Israel odhi kedo, lwet Jehova Nyasaye ne kelonegi chandruok, mana kaka ne osekwongʼorenigi, kendo ne gin e chandruok maduongʼ.
Whithersoever they went out, the hand of Jehovah was against them for evil, as Jehovah had spoken, and as Jehovah had sworn unto them: and they were sore distressed.
16 Eka Jehova Nyasaye nowalo jongʼad bura, mane okonyogi e lwet joma sandogi.
And Jehovah raised up judges, who saved them out of the hand of those that despoiled them.
17 Kata kamano ne ok ginyal winjo jongʼad bura mag-gi, to negidhi nyime gitimo timbe dwanyruok kendo lamo nyiseche manono. Piyo piyo nono ne gibaro mi giweyo rito chike mane Jehova Nyasaye omiyo kweregi kendo ne ok gimiye luor.
And yet they hearkened not unto their judges; for they played the harlot after other gods, and bowed themselves down unto them: they turned aside quickly out of the way wherein their fathers walked, obeying the commandments of Jehovah; [but] they did not so.
18 Kinde ka kinde ma Jehova Nyasaye nokelonegi jangʼad bura, nokonyo jangʼad burano kendo noresogi e lwet wasikgi ndalo duto mane jangʼad burano pod ngima; nimar Jehova Nyasaye ne kechogi nikech wasikgi ne thirogi kendo hinyogi malit.
And when Jehovah raised them up judges, then Jehovah was with the judge, and saved them out of the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge: for it repented Jehovah because of their groaning by reason of them that oppressed them and vexed them.
19 To ka jangʼad bura notho, ji noduogo e timbe mangʼeny mag anjawo moloyo kata mago mag kweregi, ka giluwo bangʼ nyiseche mamoko kendo tiyonegi kendo ka gilamogi. Negitamore weyo timbegi mamono kod timbegi mag wich teko.
But it came to pass, when the judge was dead, that they turned back, and dealt more corruptly than their fathers, in following other gods to serve them, and to bow down unto them; they ceased not from their doings, nor from their stubborn way.
20 Kuom mano, mirima nomako Jehova Nyasaye gi jo-Israel kendo nowacho niya, “Nikech ogandani osejwangʼo singruok mane aketo gi kweregi kendo ok gisewinja,
And the anger of Jehovah was kindled against Israel; and he said, Because this nation have transgressed my covenant which I commanded their fathers, and have not hearkened unto my voice;
21 ok anariemb oganda mane Joshua otho oweyo mondo oa e nyimgi.
I also will not henceforth drive out any from before them of the nations that Joshua left when he died;
22 Anati kodgi kuom temo Israel mondo ane ka ginyalo rito yo Jehova Nyasaye kendo wuothoe yorno kaka kweregi notimo.”
that by them I may prove Israel, whether they will keep the way of Jehovah to walk therein, as their fathers did keep it, or not.
23 Jehova Nyasaye noyiene ogandago mondo odongʼ, kendo ne ok oriembogi kata chiwogi e lwet Joshua.
So Jehovah left those nations, without driving them out hastily; neither delivered he them into the hand of Joshua.
