< Joshua 2 >
1 And Joshua the son of Naue sent out of Sattin two young men to spy [the land], saying, Go up and view the land and Jericho: and the two young men went and entered into Jericho; and they entered into the house of a harlot, whose name [was] Raab, and lodged 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 An it was reported to the king of Jericho, saying, Men of the sons of Israel have come in hither to spy the land.
Ruodh Jeriko nonyisi niya, “Ngʼe ni jo-Israel moko osebiro ka gotienoni mondo onon pinywa.”
3 And the king of Jericho sent and spoke to Raab, saying, Bring out the men that entered into your house this night; for they are come to spy out the 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 And the woman took the two men and hid them; and she spoke to the messengers, saying, The men came in to me,
Kata kamano, Rahab nosekawo ji ariyogi kendo opandogi. Nowacho niya, “En adier, ni jogi nobiro ira, to ne ok angʼeyo ni gia kanye.
5 but when the gate was shut in the evening, the men went out; I know not whither they are gone: follow after them, if you may overtake 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 she [had] brought them up upon the house, and hid them in the flax-stalks that were spread by her on the house.
To chutho, noyudo ka osepando jogi ewi tado e bwo othith mane opedhi ewi tado kanyo.
7 And the men followed after them in the way to Jordan to the fords; and 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 And it came to pass when the men who pursued after them were gone forth, and before the spies had lain down to sleep, that she came up to them on the top of the house;
Kane jonon pinygo ne pok odhi nindo, dhakoni noidho modhi ewi tado,
9 and she said to them, I know that the Lord has given you the land; for the fear of you has fallen upon us.
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 that the Lord God dried up the Red Sea before you, when you came out of the land of Egypt, and all that he did to the two kings of the Amorites, who were beyond Jordan, to Seon and Og, whom you utterly destroyed.
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 And when we heard it we were amazed in our heart, and there was no longer any spirit in any of us because of you, for the Lord your god [is] God in heaven above, and on the earth beneath.
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 And now swear to me by the Lord God; since I deal mercifully with you, so do you also deal mercifully with the house of my father:
“Kuom mano, kwongʼrenauru gi Jehova Nyasaye ni ubiro ngʼwonone jooda, nikech an bende asetimonu ngʼwono. Singrenauru
13 and save alive the house of my father, my mother, and my brethren, and all my house, and all that they have, and you shall rescue my soul from death.
ni ubiro ngʼwonone wuonwa kod minwa, owetena kod nyiminena, kod jogegi duto, kendo ni ubiro resowa mondo kik watho.”
14 And the men said to her, Our life for yours [even] to death: and she said, When the Lord shall have delivered the city to you, you shall deal mercifully and truly with me.
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 And she let them down by the window;
Omiyo nolorogi piny gi tol ka giluwo dirisa, nikech ot mane odakie ne ochwogi e kor ohinga mar dala maduongʼ.
16 and she said to them, Depart into the hill-country, lest the pursuers meet you, and you shall be hidden there three days until your pursuers return from after you, and afterwards you shall depart 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 And the men said to her, We are clear of this your oath.
Jogi nowachone niya, “Kwongʼ ma isemiyo wakwongʼore godo ok otweyowa,
18 Behold, we shall enter into a part of the city, and you shall set a sign; you shall bind this scarlet cord in the window, by which you have let us down, and you shall bring in to yourself, into your house, your father, and your mother, and your brethren, and all the family of your father.
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 And it shall come to pass that whoever shall go outside the door of your house, his guilt shall be upon him, and we shall be quit of this your oath; and we will be responsible for all that shall be found with you in your house.
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 But if any one should injure us, or betray these our matters, we shall be quit of this your oath.
Makmana, ka dipo ni iwacho gino ma watimo, to inigonywa kuom kwongʼruok mane iketowa wakwongʼore godo.”
21 And she said to them, Let it be according to your word; and she sent them out, and they departed.
Nowachonegi niya, “Wawinjore! Kendo mondo obed kaka uwachono.” Omiyo ne ogologi mi gidhi. Bangʼe notweyo tol makwar e dirisa.
22 And they came to the hill-country, and remained there three days; and the pursuers searched all the roads, and found them not.
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 And the two young men returned, and came down out of the mountain; and they went over to Joshua the son of Naue, and told him all things 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 And they said to Joshua, The Lord has delivered all the land into our power, and all the inhabitants of that land tremble because of us.
Negiwachone Joshua niya, “Adiera, Jehova Nyasaye osechiwo pinyni duto e lwetwa, bende jogo modak e pinyno kihondko osemako nikech wan.”
