Joshua 2
1 Then Joshua son of Nun secretly sent two spies from Shittim, saying, “Go, inspect the land, especially Jericho.” So they went and entered the house of a prostitute named Rahab and stayed there.
Bangʼe Joshua wuod Nun nooro jonon piny ariyo lingʼ-lingʼ moa Shitim. Nowachonegi niya, “Dhiuru, ungʼi pinyni, to moloyo Jeriko.” Omiyo negidhi ma gidonjo e od dhako moro mandhaga ma nyinge Rahab, mi gidak kanyo.
2 And it was reported to the king of Jericho: “Behold, some men of Israel have come here tonight to spy out the land.”
Ruodh Jeriko nonyisi niya, “Ngʼe ni jo-Israel moko osebiro ka gotienoni mondo onon pinywa.”
3 So the king of Jericho sent to Rahab and said, “Bring out the men who came to you and entered your house, for they have come to spy out the whole land.”
Omiyo ruodh Jeriko nooro wach ni Rahab niya, “Gol oko jogo mane obiro iri kendo odonjo e odi, nikech gisebiro mondo gitim nonro ma lingʼ-lingʼ e pinyni duto.”
4 But the woman had taken the two men and hidden them. So she said, “Yes, the men did come to me, but I did not know where they had come from.
Kata kamano, Rahab nosekawo ji ariyogi kendo opandogi. Nowacho niya, “En adier, ni jogi nobiro ira, to ne ok angʼeyo ni gia kanye.
5 At dusk, when the gate was about to close, the men went out, and I do not know which way they went. Pursue them quickly, and you may catch them!”
E seche mag angʼich welo, e sa michiegoe dhoranga dala maduongʼ, jogi nowuok. Ok angʼeyo yo mane gidhiyoe. Ringuru bangʼ-gi piyo. Unyalo makogi.”
6 (But Rahab had taken them up to the roof and hidden them among the stalks of flax that she had laid out there.)
To chutho, noyudo ka osepando jogi ewi tado e bwo othith mane opedhi ewi tado kanyo.
7 So the king’s men set out in pursuit of the spies along the road to the fords of the Jordan, and as soon as they had gone out, the gate was shut.
Omiyo oganda mar ruodh pinyno nowuok piyo ka gilawogi e yo mochiko aora Jordan, kendo mana gisano ka jogo mane lawogi nosewuok oko, dhorangajno nolor.
8 Before the spies lay down for the night, Rahab went up on the roof
Kane jonon pinygo ne pok odhi nindo, dhakoni noidho modhi ewi tado,
9 and said to them, “I know that the LORD has given you this land and that the fear of you has fallen on us, so that all who dwell in the land are melting in fear of you.
kendo mowachonegi niya, “Angʼeyo ni Jehova Nyasaye osemiyou pinyni kendo mano osemiyo luoro omako ngʼato ka ngʼato kuomwa, omiyo joma odak e pinyni kihondko osemako nikech un.
10 For we have heard how the LORD dried up the waters of the Red Sea before you when you came out of Egypt, and what you did to Sihon and Og, the two kings of the Amorites across the Jordan, whom you devoted to destruction.
Wasewinjo kaka Jehova Nyasaye nomiyo pi Nam Makwar oduono kane uwuok e piny Misri, kendo gima ne utimone Sihon kod Og, ruodhi ariyo mag jo-Amor modak yo wuok chiengʼ mar aora Jordan, mane uketho chuth.
11 When we heard this, our hearts melted and everyone’s courage failed because of you, for the LORD your God is God in the heavens above and on the earth below.
Kane wawinjo wachno, to kihondko nomakowa kendo chir duto mane ngʼato angʼata nigo norumo nikech un, kendo nikech Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu en Nyasaye manie polo malo kendo e piny mwalo.
12 Now therefore, please swear to me by the LORD that you will indeed show kindness to my family, because I showed kindness to you. Give me a sure sign
“Kuom mano, kwongʼrenauru gi Jehova Nyasaye ni ubiro ngʼwonone jooda, nikech an bende asetimonu ngʼwono. Singrenauru
13 that you will spare the lives of my father and mother, my brothers and sisters, and all who belong to them, and that you will deliver us from death.”
ni ubiro ngʼwonone wuonwa kod minwa, owetena kod nyiminena, kod jogegi duto, kendo ni ubiro resowa mondo kik watho.”
14 “Our lives for your lives!” the men agreed. “If you do not report our mission, we will show you kindness and faithfulness when the LORD gives us the land.”
Jogi nowachone adier niya, “Ngimau en ngimawa! Ka ok uwacho gino ma watimo, to wabiro bedo kodu gi ngʼwono kod ratiro e ndalo ma Jehova Nyasaye nomiwa pinyni.”
15 Then Rahab let them down by a rope through the window, since the house where she lived was built into the wall of the city.
Omiyo nolorogi piny gi tol ka giluwo dirisa, nikech ot mane odakie ne ochwogi e kor ohinga mar dala maduongʼ.
16 “Go to the hill country,” she said, “so that your pursuers will not find you. Hide yourselves there for three days until they have returned; then go on your way.”
E sa onogo nowachonegi niya, “Dhiuru e got mondo joma lawou kik yudu. Ponduru kuno kuom ndalo adek nyaka giduogi; eka udhi nyime giwuodhu.”
17 The men said to her, “We will not be bound by this oath you made us swear
Jogi nowachone niya, “Kwongʼ ma isemiyo wakwongʼore godo ok otweyowa,
18 unless, when we enter the land, you have tied this scarlet cord in the window through which you let us down, and unless you have brought your father and mother and brothers and all your family into your house.
makmana, chiengʼ mwadonjo e pinyni, to nyaka itwe tol makwarni e dirisa kama ilorowanie, kendo nyaka ikel wuonu gi minu, oweteni gi joodi duto ei odi.
19 If anyone goes out the door of your house into the street, his blood will be on his own head, and we will be innocent. But if a hand is laid on anyone with you in the house, his blood will be on our heads.
Ka dipo ni ngʼato owuok e odi modhi e yore mag mier, rembe enobed e wiye owuon; ok enobed wachwa. To ne ngʼatno manobed kodi ei ot, rembe nobedi e wiwa ka dipo ni lwedo moro nomule.
20 And if you report our mission, we will be released from the oath you made us swear.”
Makmana, ka dipo ni iwacho gino ma watimo, to inigonywa kuom kwongʼruok mane iketowa wakwongʼore godo.”
21 “Let it be as you say,” she replied, and she sent them away. And when they had gone, she tied the scarlet cord in the window.
Nowachonegi niya, “Wawinjore! Kendo mondo obed kaka uwachono.” Omiyo ne ogologi mi gidhi. Bangʼe notweyo tol makwar e dirisa.
22 So the spies went out into the hill country and stayed there three days, until their pursuers had returned without finding them, having searched all along the road.
Kane gisea, negidhi nyaka e gode mi gidak kuno kuom ndalo adek, manyaka joma ne lawogi otieko manyo kuonde duto ka giluwo yo mi gidwogo ma ok giyudogi.
23 Then the two men started back, came down from the hill country, and crossed the river. So they came to Joshua son of Nun and reported all that had happened to them.
Eka jonon piny ariyogi nolor oa e gode. Negingʼado aora, mi gidhi ir Joshua wuod Nun, kendo giwachone gigo duto mane otimorenigi.
24 “The LORD has surely delivered the entire land into our hands,” they said to Joshua. “Indeed, all who dwell in the land are melting in fear of us.”
Negiwachone Joshua niya, “Adiera, Jehova Nyasaye osechiwo pinyni duto e lwetwa, bende jogo modak e pinyno kihondko osemako nikech wan.”
