Joshua 23

1 A long time after the LORD had given Israel rest from all the enemies around them, when Joshua was old and well along in years,

Bangʼ kinde moko ka Jehova Nyasaye nosemiyo jo-Israel kwe e kindgi gi wasikgi duto, noyudo ka koro Joshua oseti kendo ne en gi higni moniangʼ,

2 he summoned all Israel, including its elders, leaders, judges, and officers. “I am old and well along in years,” he said,

omiyo noluongo jo-Israel duto kaachiel gi jodong-gi, jotelo, jongʼad bura kod jotelo mamoko kendo mi owachonegi niya, “Aseti kendo hika oseniangʼ.

3 “and you have seen everything that the LORD your God has done to all these nations for your sake, because it was the LORD your God who fought for you.

Un uwegi useneno gigo ma Jehova Nyasaye osetimo ni ogendinigi duto nikech un; ne en Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu ema nokedonu.

4 See, I have allotted as an inheritance to your tribes these remaining nations, including all the nations I have already cut off, from the Jordan westward to the Great Sea.

Paruru kaka asepogo ni dhoutu pinje duto mag ogendini mane odongʼ kaka girkeni, ogendini mane aloyo, modak e kind aora Jordan kod Nam Maduongʼ mantiere yo podho chiengʼ.

5 The LORD your God will push them out of your way and drive them out before you, so that you can take possession of their land, as the LORD your God promised you.

Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu owuon biro riembo wasiku e nyimu. Omiyo riembgiuru gia e nyimu, kendo unukaw pinygi, mana kaka Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu nosingonu.

6 Be very strong, then, so that you can keep and obey all that is written in the Book of the Law of Moses, not turning aside from it to the right or to the left.

“Beduru motegno ahinya; beduru motangʼ mondo ulu mago duto mondikie Kitabu mar Chik mar Musa, ma ok udok yo korachwich kata koracham.

7 So you are not to associate with these nations that remain among you. You must not call on the names of their gods or swear by them, and you must not serve them or bow down to them.

Kik uriwru gi ogendini modongʼ e dieru, kik uluong nying nyisechegi kata kik ukwongʼru gi nying-gi. Kik utinegi kata kik ukulrunegi.

8 Instead, you shall hold fast to the LORD your God, as you have done to this day.

To nyaka umak Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu motegno, mana kaka usebedo ka utimo.”

9 The LORD has driven out great and powerful nations before you, and to this day no one can stand against you.

“Jehova Nyasaye oseriembo e nyimu oganda maduongʼ kendo maratego; kendo nyaka odiechiengni onge ngʼama oseloyou.

10 One of you can put a thousand to flight, because the LORD your God fights for you, just as He promised.

Ngʼato achiel biro lawo ji alufu achiel, nikech Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu kedonu, mana kaka ne osingonu.

11 Therefore watch yourselves carefully, that you love the LORD your God.

Omiyo beduru motangʼ mondo uher Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu.

12 For if you turn away and cling to the rest of these nations that remain among you, and if you intermarry and associate with them,

“To ka ungʼanyo mi uriworu kod jogo motony manie pinyni modongʼ e dieru kendo unywomoru kodgi,

13 know for sure that the LORD your God will no longer drive out these nations before you. Instead, they will become for you a snare and a trap, a scourge in your sides and thorns in your eyes, until you perish from this good land that the LORD your God has given you.

to ngʼeuru ni Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu ok nochak oriemb ogendini e dieru kendo. Jogo nobednu obadho gi ramaki, boka mi chwadogo ngʼeu, kendo kudho e wengeu, nyaka chop ulal nono uae pinyni, ma Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu osemiyou.

14 Now behold, today I am going the way of all the earth, and you know with all your heart and soul that not one of the good promises the LORD your God made to you has failed. Everything was fulfilled for you; not one promise has failed.

“Koro sani adwaro dhi kuma ji duto manie piny dhiyoe. Ungʼeyo malongʼo gi chunyu duto ni onge singo moro amora ma Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu nomiyou ma pod ok otimo. Singo duto osetimo maonge modongʼ.

15 But just as every good thing the LORD your God promised you has come to pass, likewise the LORD will bring upon you the calamity He has threatened, until He has destroyed you from this good land He has given you.

Mana kaka singo duto maber mar Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu osebedo adiera, omiyo Jehova Nyasaye biro kelo kuomu gigo maricho duto mobwogou godo, nyaka one ni otiekou pep e piny maberni ma osemiyou.

16 If you transgress the covenant of the LORD your God, which He commanded you, and go and serve other gods and bow down to them, then the anger of the LORD will burn against you, and you will quickly perish from this good land He has given you.”

Ka uketho singruok mane kindu gi Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu, mane ochikou, kendo mi udhi ma utiyo ne nyiseche manono kukulorunegi, to mirimb Nyasaye biro olore kuomu, kendo ubiro lal nono piyo e piny maber ma osemiyouni.”
