Joshua 23
1 And it came to pass after many days after the Lord had given Israel rest from all his enemies round about, that Joshua was old and advanced 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 And Joshua called together all the children of Israel, and their elders, and their chiefs, and their judges, and their officers; and said to them, I am old and advanced in years.
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 all that the Lord our God has done to all these nations before us; [for it] is the Lord your God who has 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, that I have given to you these nations that are left to you by lots to your tribes, all the nations beginning at Jordan; and [some] I have destroyed; and the boundaries shall be at the great sea westward.
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 And the Lord our God, he shall destroy them before us, until they utterly perish; and he shall send against them the wild beasts, until he shall have utterly destroyed them and their kings from before you; and you shall inherit their land, as the Lord our God said to 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 Do you therefore strive diligently to observe and do all things written in the book of the law of Moses, that you turn not to the right hand 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 that you go not in amongst these nations that are left; and the names of their gods shall not be named amongst you, neither shall you serve them, neither shall you 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 But you shall cleave to the Lord our God, as you have done until this day.
To nyaka umak Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu motegno, mana kaka usebedo ka utimo.”
9 And the Lord shall destroy them before you, [even] great and strong nations; and no one has stood before us until this day.
“Jehova Nyasaye oseriembo e nyimu oganda maduongʼ kendo maratego; kendo nyaka odiechiengni onge ngʼama oseloyou.
10 One of you has chased a thousand, for the Lord our God, he fought for you, as he said to us.
Ngʼato achiel biro lawo ji alufu achiel, nikech Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu kedonu, mana kaka ne osingonu.
11 And take you great heed to love the Lord our God.
Omiyo beduru motangʼ mondo uher Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu.
12 For if you shall turn aside and attach yourselves to these nations that are left with you, and make marriages with them, and become mingled with them and they with you,
“To ka ungʼanyo mi uriworu kod jogo motony manie pinyni modongʼ e dieru kendo unywomoru kodgi,
13 know that the Lord will no more destroy these nations from before you; and they will be to you snares and stumbling blocks, and nails in your heels, and darts in your eyes, until you be destroyed from off this good land, which 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 But I hasten to go the way [of death], as all that are upon the earth also [do]: and you know in your heart and in your soul, that not one word has fallen [to the ground] of all the words which the Lord our God has spoken respecting all that concerns us; there has not one of them 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 And it shall come to pass, that as all the good things are come upon us which the Lord God will bring upon you all the evil things, until he shall have destroyed you from off this good land, which the Lord 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 when you transgress the covenant of the Lord our God, which he has charged us, and go and serve other gods, and bow down to them.
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.”
