Sihon, the king of the Amor people-group, and Og, the king of Bashan [region], and all the other kings in Canaan [land].

Then he gave their land to [us] Israeli people to belong to us [forever].
13 Yaye Jehova Nyasaye, nyingi osiko nyaka chiengʼ, yaye Jehova Nyasaye, humbi ochwere e tienge duto.
Yahweh your name will endure forever, and people who are not yet born will remember the great things [that you have done].
14 Nimar Jehova Nyasaye biro chwako joge, kendo obiro kecho jotichne.
Yahweh, [you] declare that we your people (are innocent/have not done things that are wrong), and you are merciful to us.
15 Nyiseche mopa mag ogendini gin fedha gi dhahabu, molos gi lwet dhano.
But the idols that the [other] people-groups [worship] are only [statues made of] silver and gold, things that humans have made.
16 Gin gi dhogi, to kata kamano, ok ginyal wuoyo, gin gi wenge, to ok ginyal neno.
Their idols have mouths, but they cannot say [anything]; they have eyes, but they cannot see [anything].
17 Gin gi it, to ok ginyal winjo wach, kendo kata mana muya onge e dhogi.
They have ears, but they cannot hear [anything], and they are not [even able to] breathe.
18 Joma losogi nobed machal kodgi, kendo joma oketo genogi kuomgi bende biro chalo kodgi.
The people who make those idols are as [powerless as] those idols, and those who trust in those idols [can accomplish no more than] their idols can!
