Jongʼad Bura 1

1 Bangʼ tho Joshua, jo-Israel nopenjo Jehova Nyasaye niya, “Ere ngʼama biro dhi mokwongo mondo okednwa gi jo-Kanaan?”

Now after the death of Joshua, the children of Israel made request to the Lord, saying, Who is to go up first to make war for us against the Canaanites?

2 Jehova Nyasaye nodwoko niya, “Dhood Juda ema biro dhi mokwongo; nimar asechiwo pinyno e lwetgi.”

And the Lord said, Judah is to go up: see, I have given the land into his hands.

3 Eka jo-Juda nowachone jo-Simeon mowetegi niya, “Biuru kodwa e gwengʼ mosepogwa, mondo waked gi jo-Kanaan. Wan bende wabiro dhi kodu e maru.” Omiyo jo-Simeon nodhi kodgi.

Then Judah said to Simeon his brother, Come up with me into my heritage, so that we may make war against the Canaanites; and I will then go with you into your heritage. So Simeon went with him.

4 Kane jo-Juda omonjogi, Jehova Nyasaye nochiwo jo-Kanaan kod jo-Perizi e lwetgi kendo neginego ji alufu apar Bezek.

And Judah went up; and the Lord gave the Canaanites and the Perizzites into their hands; and they overcame ten thousand of them in Bezek.

5 Kanyo ema ne giyudoe Adoni-Bezek kendo negikedo kode, mi giloyo jo-Kanaan gi jo-Perizi.

And they came across Adoni-zedek, and made war on him; and they overcame the Canaanites and the Perizzites.

6 Adoni-Bezek noringo mondo oyombgi, to ne gilawe ma gimake kendo gingʼado lith lwetene mathuon kod lith tiendene mathuon.

But Adoni-zedek went in flight; and they went after him and overtook him, and had his thumbs and his great toes cut off.

7 Eka Adoni-Bezek nowacho niya, “Ruodhi piero abiriyo ma lith lwetegi mathuon kod lith tiendegi mathuon osengʼad oko osebedo ka chamo ngʼinjo e bwo mesana. Koro Nyasaye osechula kuom gigo mane atimonegi.” Negikele Jerusalem, kendo notho kanyo.

And Adoni-zedek said, Seventy kings, whose thumbs and great toes had been cut off, got broken meat under my table: as I have done, so has God done to me in full. And they took him to Jerusalem, and he came to his end there.

8 Jo-Juda bende nomonjo Jerusalem kendo ne gikawe. Negimonjo dala maduongʼno gi ligangla kendo gimoko mach kuome.

Then the children of Judah made an attack on Jerusalem, and took it, burning down the town after they had put its people to the sword without mercy.

9 Bangʼ mano, jo-Juda nodhi mondo giked gi jo-Kanaan modak e piny manie got Negev kod tiend gode mantiere yo podho chiengʼ.

After that the children of Judah went down to make war on the Canaanites living in the hill-country and in the south and in the lowlands.

10 Negidhi nyime kendo gikedo gi jo-Kanaan modak Hebron (machon ne iluongo ni Kiriath Arba) kendo negiloyo Sheshai, Ahiman kod Talmai.

And Caleb went against the Canaanites of Hebron: (now in earlier times Hebron was named Kiriath-arba: ) and he put Sheshai and Ahiman and Talmai to the sword.

11 Koa kanyo negisudo nyime kendo gimonjo joma odak Debir (machon ne iluongo ni Kiriath Sefa).

And from there he went up against the people of Debir. (Now the name of Debir in earlier times was Kiriath-sepher.)

12 To Kaleb nowacho niya, “Anachiw nyara Aksa mondo okendi gi ngʼatno manoked ma kaw Kiriath Sefa.”

And Caleb said, I will give Achsah, my daughter, as wife to the man who overcomes Kiriath-sepher and takes it.

13 Othniel wuod Kenaz, ma owadgi Kaleb matin, noloyo pinyno, omiyo Kaleb nomiye nyare Aksa mondo okendi.

And Othniel, the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother, took it; so he gave him his daughter Achsah for his wife.

14 Chiengʼ moro achiel kane obiro ir Othniel, nojiwe mondo okwa wuon mare puodho. Kane olor oa e pundane, Kaleb nopenje niya, “En angʼo midwaro ni mondo atimni?”

Now when she came to him, he put into her mind the idea of requesting a field from her father: and she got down from her ass; and Caleb said to her, What is it?

15 Nodwoko niya, “Timna ngʼwono makende. Nimar isemiya puodho man Negev, miya bende thidhna mar pi.” Omiyo Kaleb nomiye thidhna ma malo kod mamwalo.

And she said to him, Give me a blessing; because you have put me in a dry south-land, now give me springs of water. So Caleb gave her the higher spring and the lower spring.

16 Nyikwa jo-Keni ma jaduongʼ Musa, nodhi koa e Dala Maduongʼ mar Jeriko ka en gi jo-Juda mondo gidag e dier jogo mantiere e thim mar Juda man Negev but Arad.

Now Hobab the Kenite, Moses' father-in-law, had come up out of the town of palm-trees, with the children of Judah, into the waste land of Arad; and he went and was living among the Amalekites;

17 Eka jo-Juda nodhi gi jo-Simeon mowetegi mi gimonjo jo-Kanaan modak Zefath, kendo negiketho dala maduongʼno chuth. Emomiyo noluonge ni Horma.

And Judah went with Simeon, his brother, and overcame the Canaanites living in Zephath, and put it under the curse; and he gave the town the name of Hormah.

18 Jo-Juda bende nokawo Gaza, Ashkelon kod Ekron, ka dala maduongʼ moro ka moro nigi gwengʼe.

Then Judah took Gaza and its limit, and Ashkelon and its limit, and Ekron and its limit.

19 Jehova Nyasaye ne nigi jo-Juda. Negikawo piny gode, to ne ok ginyal riembo joma ne odak e piny pewe, nikech ne gin-gi geche mag chuma.

And the Lord was with Judah; and he took the hill-country for his heritage; but he was unable to make the people of the valley go out, for they had war-carriages of iron.

20 Kaka Musa ne osesingo, Hebron nomi Kaleb, mane oriembo yawuot Anak adek.

And they gave Hebron to Caleb, as Moses had said; and he took the land of the three sons of Anak, driving them out from there.

21 Jo-Benjamin, kata kamano, ne ok nyal loyo jo-Jebus, mane odak Jerusalem; nyaka kawuononi jo-Jebus pod odak kanyo gi jo-Benjamin.

And the children of Judah did not make the Jebusites who were living in Jerusalem go out; the Jebusites are still living with the children of Benjamin in Jerusalem.

22 Koro od Josef nomonjo Bethel, kendo Jehova Nyasaye ne ni kode.

And the family of Joseph went up against Beth-el, and the Lord was with them.

23 Kane gioro ji mondo onon Bethel (machon yande iluongo ni Luz),

So they sent men to make a search round Beth-el. (Now the name of the town in earlier times was Luz.)

24 jonon pinygo noneno ngʼato ka wuok e dala maduongʼ kendo negiwachone niya, “Kinyiswa e yo midonjogo e dala cha to ok wabi yie mondo gimoro otimi.”

And the watchers saw a man coming out of the town, and said to him, If you will make clear to us the way into the town, we will be kind to you.

25 Omiyo nonyisogi, kendo neginego ji duto mane ni e dala maduongʼno gi ligangla makmana ngʼat cha gi joge duto ema notony.

So he made clear to them the way into the town, and they put it to the sword; but they let the man and all his family get away safe.

26 Eka nodhi e piny jo-Hiti, kama nogeroe dala maduongʼ mi ochake ni Luz, ma mano e nyinge nyaka chil kawuono.

And he went into the land of the Hittites, building a town there and naming it Luz: which is its name to this day.

27 To Manase ne ok oriembo jo-Beth Shan kata Tanak kata Dor kata Ibleam kata Megido kod alwora mar kuonde dak-gi, nimar jo-Kanaan noramo ni nyaka gidag e pinyno.

And Manasseh did not take away the land of the people of Beth-shean and its daughter-towns, or of Taanach and its daughter-towns, or of the people of Dor and its daughter-towns, or of the people of Ibleam and its daughter-towns, or of the people of Megiddo and its daughter-towns, driving them out; but the Canaanites would go on living in that land.

28 Kane jo-Israel osebedo motegno, negiloko jo-Kanaan wasumbinigi kendo ne ok giriembogi kata matin.

And whenever Israel became strong, they put the Canaanites to forced work, without driving them out completely.

29 Kata jo-Efraim bende ne ok oriembo jo-Kanaan modak Gezer, to jo-Kanaan ne odhi nyime gidak e diergi.

And Ephraim did not make the Canaanites who were living in Gezer go out; but the Canaanites went on living in Gezer among them.

30 Jo-Zebulun bende ne ok oriembo jo-Kanaan mane odak Kitron kata Nahahol, mane odongʼ e diergi; to ne gilokogi wasumbinigi.

Zebulun did not make the people of Kitron or the people of Nahalol go out; but the Canaanites went on living among them and were put to forced work.

31 Jo-Asher bende ne ok oriembo joma ne odak Ako, Sidon, Alab, Akzib, Helba, Afek, kod Rehob,

And Asher did not take the land of the people of Acco, or Zidon, or Ahlab, or Achzib, or Helbah, or Aphik, or Rehob, driving them out;

32 kamano jo-Asher nodhi nyime mana gidak gi jo-Kanaan kendo ne ok giriembogi.

But the Asherites went on living among the Canaanites, the people of the land, without driving them out.

33 Jo-Naftali bende ne ok oriembo jogo mane odak Beth Shemesh kod Beth Anath, to negidak e dier jo-Kanaan mane weg pinyno kendo negiloko jogo mane odak Beth Shemesh kod Beth Anath wasumbinigi.

Naphtali did not take the land of the people of Beth-shemesh or of Beth-anath, driving them out; but he was living among the Canaanites in the land; however, the people of Beth-shemesh and Beth-anath were put to forced work.

34 Jo-Amor nochoko jo-Dan kamoro achiel e piny gode, mane ok oyienigi mondo gibi mwalo e piny pewe.

And the children of Dan were forced into the hill-country by the Amorites, who would not let them come down into the valley;

35 Kendo jo-Amor noramo ni nyaka gidag e Got Heres, Aijalon kod Shalbim, to ka teko mar od Josef nomedore, gin bende nolokgi wasumbini.

For the Amorites would go on living in Mount Heres, in Aijalon, and in Shaalbim; but the children of Joseph became stronger than they, and put them to forced work.

36 Tongʼ mar jo-Amor nochakore Akrabim nyaka Sela kendo mokalo kanyo.

And the limit of the Edomites went from the slope of Akrabbim from Sela and up.
