Jongʼad Bura 2
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,
Now the angel of the Lord came up from Gilgal to Bochim. And he said, I took you out of Egypt, guiding you into the land which I gave by an oath to your fathers; and I said, My agreement with you will never be broken by me:
2 kendo ok unulos winjruok moro gi jopinyni, to unumuk kendegi mag misango. Kata kamano, ok useluora. En angʼo momiyo usetimo ma?
And you are to make no agreement with the people of this land; you are to see that their altars are broken down: but you have not given ear to my voice: what have you done?
3 Emomiyo koro anyisou ni ok anariembgi oko e nyimu; ginibed kuthe e ringreu kendo nyisechegi nobed tembe ne un.”
And so I have said, I will not send them out from before you; but they will be a danger to you, and their gods will be a cause of falling to you.
4 Kane malaika mar Jehova Nyasaye nosewacho wechegi ne jo-Israel duto, ji noywak matek,
Now on hearing these words which the angel of the Lord said to all the children of Israel, the people gave themselves up to loud crying and weeping.
5 kendo negiluongo kanyo ni Bokim. Kanyo ne gichiwoe misengini ne Jehova Nyasaye.
And they gave that place the name of Bochim, and made offerings there to the Lord.
6 Bangʼ ka Joshua nosegolo jo-Israel, negidhi mondo gikaw pinyno, ka ngʼato ka ngʼato yudo pokne.
And Joshua let the people go away, and the children of Israel went, every man to his heritage, to take the land for themselves.
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 were true to the Lord all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the responsible men who were still living after the death of Joshua, and had seen all the great work of the Lord which he had done for Israel.
8 Joshua wuod Nun, jatich Jehova Nyasaye, notho ka en ja-higni mia achiel gapar.
And death came to Joshua, the son of Nun, the servant of the Lord, he 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 put his body in the earth in the land of his heritage in Timnath-heres, in the hill-country of Ephraim to the north of Mount Gaash.
10 Bangʼ ka tiengʼno duto noseyweyo kod kweregi, tiengʼ machielo nochako dongo, mane ok ongʼeyo Jehova Nyasaye kata gima nosetimone jo-Israel.
And in time death overtook all that generation; and another generation came after them, having no knowledge of the Lord or of the things which he had done for Israel.
11 Eka jo-Israel notimo timbe mamono e nyim Jehova Nyasaye kendo gitiyone Baal.
And the children of Israel did evil in the eyes of the Lord and became servants to the Baals;
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 gave up the Lord, the God of their fathers, who had taken them out of the land of Egypt, and went after other gods, the gods of the peoples round about them, worshipping them and moving the Lord to wrath.
13 nikech ne gijwangʼe kendo gitiyone Baal kod jo-Ashtoreth.
And they gave up the Lord, and became the servants of Baal and the Astartes.
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 wrath of the Lord was burning against Israel, and he gave them up into the hands of those who violently took their property, and into the hands of their haters all round them, so that they were forced to give way before them.
15 Kinde duto mane jo-Israel odhi kedo, lwet Jehova Nyasaye ne kelonegi chandruok, mana kaka ne osekwongʼorenigi, kendo ne gin e chandruok maduongʼ.
Wherever they went out, the hand of the Lord was against them for evil, as the Lord had taken his oath it would be; and things became very hard for them.
16 Eka Jehova Nyasaye nowalo jongʼad bura, mane okonyogi e lwet joma sandogi.
Then the Lord gave them judges, as their saviours from the hands of those who were cruel to 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.
But still they would not give ear to their judges, but went after other gods and gave them worship; quickly turning from the way in which their fathers had gone, keeping the orders of the Lord; but they did not do 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 whenever the Lord gave them judges, then the Lord was with the judge, and was their saviour from the hands of their haters all the days of the judge; for the Lord was moved by their cries of grief because of those who were cruel to 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 whenever the judge was dead, they went back and did more evil than their fathers, going after other gods, to be their servants and their worshippers; giving up nothing of their sins and their hard-hearted ways.
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 wrath of the Lord was burning against Israel, and he said, Because this nation has not been true to my agreement which I made with their fathers, and has not given ear to my voice;
21 ok anariemb oganda mane Joshua otho oweyo mondo oa e nyimgi.
From now on I will not go on driving out from before them any of the nations which at the death of Joshua were still living in this land;
22 Anati kodgi kuom temo Israel mondo ane ka ginyalo rito yo Jehova Nyasaye kendo wuothoe yorno kaka kweregi notimo.”
In order to put Israel to the test, and see if they will keep the way of the Lord, walking in it as their fathers did, or not.
23 Jehova Nyasaye noyiene ogandago mondo odongʼ, kendo ne ok oriembogi kata chiwogi e lwet Joshua.
So the Lord let those nations go on living in the land, not driving them out quickly, and did not give them up into the hands of Joshua.
