Joshua 9
1 And it came to pass, when all the kings who were beyond the Jordan, in the hill-country, and in the lowland, and on all the shore of the great sea in front of Lebanon-the Hittite, and the Amorite, the Canaanite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite-heard of it,
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);
2 that they gathered themselves together to fight with Joshua and with Israel with one accord.
ruodhigo noriwore giduto mondo giked gi Joshua kod jo-Israel.
3 But when the inhabitants of Gibeon heard what Joshua had done to Jericho and to Ai,
Kata kamano, kane jo-Gibeon owinjo gima Joshua notimone Jeriko kod Ai,
4 they also worked shrewdly, and went and made as if they had been ambassadors, and took old sacks upon their donkeys, and wine-skins, old and torn and bound up,
negiparo mondo giwuonde. Negidhi kaka jogo man-gi punde motingʼo ogunde moti gi piende divai moti kendo obaw.
5 and old and patched shoes upon their feet, and old garments upon them, and all the bread of their provision was dry and became moldy.
Jogi norwako wuoch moyiech kod lewni moti. Makati mane gin-go duto nokethore.
6 And they went to Joshua to the camp at Gilgal, and said to him, and to the men of Israel, We have come from a far country, now therefore make ye a covenant with us.
Eka negidhi ir Joshua e kambi man Gilgal mi giwachone Joshua kod jo-Israel niya, “Wawuok e piny mabor, omiyo yie watim kodu winjruok.”
7 And the men of Israel said to the Hivites, Perhaps ye dwell among us, and how shall we make a covenant with you?
Jo-Israel nowacho ni jo-Hivi niya, “To ka dipo ni udak kodwa machiegni, ere kaka dwa los kodu winjruok?”
8 And they said to Joshua, We are thy servants. And Joshua said to them, Who are ye, and from where do ye come?
Negiwachone Joshua niya, “Wan jotichu.” To Joshua nopenjogi niya, “Un ngʼa gini to bende ua kanye?”
9 And they said to him, From a very far country. Thy servants have come because of the name of Jehovah thy God, for we have heard the fame of him, and all that he did in Egypt,
Negidwoko niya, “Jotichni oa e piny mabor ahinya nikech humb Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachi. Wasewinjo humb gik mane otimo Misri,
10 and all that he did to the two kings of the Amorites who were beyond the Jordan, to Sihon king of Heshbon, and to Og king of Bashan, who was at Ashtaroth.
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.
11 And our elders and all the inhabitants of our country spoke to us, saying, Take provision in your hand for the journey, and go to meet them, and say to them, We are your servants, and now make ye a covenant with us.
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.”’
12 This our bread we took hot for our provision out of our houses on the day we came forth to go to you, but now, behold, it is dry, and has become moldy.
Neuru makati mwatingʼogi, ne giliet ka wachako wuoth, to koro sani gikethore.
13 And these wine-skins, which we filled, were new, and, behold, they are torn. And these our garments and our shoes have become old by reason of the very long journey.
Piend divai mane wapongʼo bende ne nyien, to koro neye kaka giyiech. Lepwa kod wuochewa bende oseti nikech wuoth marabora ahinya.”
14 And the men took of their provision, and did not ask counsel at the mouth of Jehovah.
Jotelo moko mag jo-Israel nobilo chiemb jogo ka ok gipenjo Jehova Nyasaye wach.
15 And Joshua made peace with them, and made a covenant with them to let them live, and the rulers of the congregation swore to them.
Omiyo Joshua noketo winjruok mar kwe kodgi mondo oyienegi gidag kodgi, kendo jotelo ne opwodho ma ka gikwongʼore.
16 And it came to pass at the end of three days after they had made a covenant with them, that they heard that they were their neighbors, and that they dwelt among them.
Ndalo adek bangʼ kane giseloso winjruok gi jo-Gibeon, jo-Israel nowinjo ni jogo gin mana joma odak kodgi machiegni.
17 And the sons of Israel journeyed, and came to their cities on the third day. Now their cities were Gibeon, and Chephirah, and Beeroth, and Kiriath-jearim.
Omiyo jo-Israel nowuok, to odiechiengʼ mar adek negichopo e miechgi madongo kaka: Gibeon, Kefira, Beeroth, kod Kiriath Jearim.
18 And the sons of Israel did not smite them, because the rulers of the congregation had sworn to them by Jehovah, the God of Israel. And all the congregation murmured against the rulers.
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,
19 But all the rulers said to all the congregation, We have sworn to them by Jehovah, the God of Israel, now therefore we may not touch them.
to jotelogo duto nowacho niya, “Wasemiyogi singruok marwa e nying Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasach Israel, omiyo koro ok wanyal mulogi.
20 This we will do to them, and let them live, lest wrath be upon us because of the oath which we swore to them.
Ma e gima wabiro timonegi: ‘Wabiro wegi gidagi mondo kik mirima bi kuomwa nikech waketho kwongʼruok mane wasingonegi.’”
21 And the rulers said to them, Let them live. So they became hewers of wood and drawers of water to all the congregation, as the rulers had spoken to them.
Negidhi nyime kagiwacho niya, “Wegi gidagi, mondo gibednwa jobar yien gi joumb pi ni jowa duto.” Omiyo jotelo norito singruok margi.
22 And Joshua called for them, and he spoke to them, saying, Why have ye beguiled us, saying, We are very far from you, when ye dwell among us?
Eka Joshua noluongo jo-Gibeon kendo owachonegi niya, “Angʼo momiyo ne uwuondowa ka uwacho ni, ‘Wadak mochwalore kodu,’ to kuom adier udak mana butwa?
23 Now therefore ye are cursed, and there shall never fail to be bondmen of you, both hewers of wood and drawers of water for the house of my God.
Un joma okwongʼ! Ok unuwe tiyonwa kaka jobar yien gi joumb pi e od Nyasacha.”
24 And they answered Joshua, and said, Because it was certainly told thy servants, how that Jehovah thy God commanded his servant Moses to give you all the land, and to destroy all the inhabitants of the land from before you. Therefore we were very afraid for our lives because of you, and have done this thing.
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.
25 And now, behold, we are in thy hand. As it seems good and right to thee to do to us, do.
Koro to wan e lweti. Timnwauru gimoro amora muneno ni ber kendo longʼonu.”
26 And so he did to them, and delivered them out of the hand of the sons of Israel, that they did not kill them.
Omiyo Joshua nokonyogi kuom jo-Israel ma ok ginegogi.
27 And Joshua made them that day hewers of wood and drawers of water for the congregation, and for the altar of Jehovah to this day in the place which he should choose.
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.
