Joshua 24
1 And Joshua gathered all the tribe of Israel to Selo, and convoked their elders, and their officers, and their judges, and set them before God.
Bangʼe Joshua nochoko dhout Israel duto kama iluongo ni Shekem. Noluongo jodongo, jotelo, jongʼad bura kod jotelo mamoko mag Israel mi gidhi e nyim Nyasaye.
2 And Joshua said to all the people, Thus says the Lord God of Israel, Your fathers at first sojourned beyond the river, [even] Thara, the father of Abraam and the father of Nachor; and they served other gods.
Joshua nowachone ji duto niya, “Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasach Israel wacho, Chon gi lala kwereu, motingʼo nyaka Tera ma wuon Ibrahim kod Nahor, nodak but Aora Yufrate kendo negilamo nyiseche manono.
3 And I took your father Abraam from the other side of the river, and I guided him through all the land, and I multiplied his seed;
Makmana nagolo wuonu Ibrahim oa e pinyno machiegni gi Aora Yufrate mi atelone e piny Kanaan duto kendo amiye nyikwayo mathoth. Ne amiye Isaka,
4 and I gave to him Isaac, and to Isaac Jacob and Esau: and I gave to Esau mount Seir for him to inherit: and Jacob and his sons went down to Egypt, and became there a great and populous and mighty nation: and the Egyptians afflicted them.
to Isaka namiyo Jakobo kod Esau. Ne awalo piny Seir manie got ne Esau, to Jakobo gi nyithinde nodhi Misri.
5 And I struck Egypt with the wonders that I wrought amongst them.
“‘Bangʼe ne aoro Musa gi Harun, kendo ne agoyo jo-Misri gi tuoche kanyo, bangʼe agolou oko.
6 And afterwards [God] brought out our fathers from Egypt, and you entered into the Red Sea; and the Egyptians pursued after our fathers with chariots and horses into the Red Sea.
Kane agolo wuoneu Misri, ne uchopo e nam, kendo jo-Misri nolawou gi geche kod jogo mariambo farese nyaka e Nam Makwar.
7 And we cried aloud to the Lord; and he put a cloud and darkness between us and the Egyptians, and he brought the sea upon them, and covered them; and your eyes have seen all that the Lord did in the land of Egypt; and you were in the wilderness many days.
To ne giywakne Jehova Nyasaye mondo okonygi, omiyo ne oketo mudho e kindu gi jo-Misri; mi nam oimogi. Ne uneno gima ne atimone jo-Misri. Bangʼ mano nudak e thim kuom ndalo marabora.
8 And he brought us into the land of the Amorites that lived beyond Jordan, and the Lord delivered them into our hands; and you inherited their land, and utterly destroyed them from before you.
“‘Ne akelou nyaka e piny jo-Amor manodak yo wuok chiengʼ mar aora Jordan. Negikedo kodu, to naketogi e lwetu. Ne atiekogi chuth e nyimu, mi ukawo pinygi.
9 And Balac, king of Moab, son of Sepphor, rose up, and made war against Israel, and sent and called Balaam to curse us.
Kane Balak wuod Zipor, ma ruodh Moab, ne ikore mondo oked gi Israel, nooro Balaam wuod Beor mondo okwongʼu.
10 But the Lord your God would not destroy you; and he greatly blessed us, and rescued us out of their hands, and delivered them [to us].
To ne ok anyal chiko ita ne Balaam, omiyo nogwedhou mogundho, mi nagolou oko e lwete.
11 And you crossed over Jordan, and came to Jericho; and the inhabitants of Jericho fought against us, the Amorite, and the Chananite, and the Pherezite, and the Evite, and the Jebusite, and the Chettite, and the Gergesite, and the Lord delivered them into our hands.
“‘Bangʼe ne ungʼado aora Jordan mi ubiro Jeriko. Joma odak Jeriko, kaka jo-Amor, jo-Perizi, jo-Kanaan, jo-Hiti, jo-Girgash, jo-Hivi, gi jo-Jebus nokedo kodu, to ne achiwogi duto e lwetu.
12 And he sent forth the hornet before you; and he drove them out from before you, [even] twelve kings of the Amorites, not with your sword, nor with your bow.
Ne amiyo kibaji omakogi ma giringo e nyimu, kaachiel gi ruodhi jo-Amor ariyo. Ne ok utimo ma gi liganglau uwegi kod atungʼ.
13 And he gave you a land on which you did not labour, and cities which you did not build, and you were settled in them; and you eat [of] vineyards and olive yards which you did not plant.
Omiyo ne amiyou piny mane ok utiyone kod mier madongo mane ok ugero; mi udak kanyo kendo uchamo olemb mzabibu kod zeituni ma bende ne ok upidho.’
14 And now fear the Lord, and serve him in righteousness and justice; and remove the strange gods, which our fathers served beyond the river, and in Egypt; and serve the Lord.
“Omiyo koro luoruru Jehova Nyasaye kendo beduru joratiro kinde duto kutiyone. Wituru oko nyiseche manono mag kwereu mane gilamo yo Aora Yufrate kod e piny Misri, mondo uti ne Jehova Nyasaye.
15 But if it seem not good to you to serve the Lord, choose to yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods of your fathers that were on the other side of the river, or the gods of the Amorites, amongst whom you dwell upon their land: but I and my house will serve the Lord, for he is holy.
To ka dipo ni tiyone Jehova Nyasaye ok miu mor, to kawuononi yier aneuru ngʼama ubiro tiyone, kata ka en nyiseche manono mane kwereu tiyone e Aora Yufrate, kata en nyiseche manono mag jo-Amor, modak e pinygi. Makmana an gi jooda duto, wabiro tiyone Jehova Nyasaye.”
16 And the people answered and said, Far be it from us to forsake the Lord, so as to serve other gods.
Eka ji nodwoko niya, “Mad gima chal kamano kik timrenwa ka wajwangʼo Jehova Nyasaye, mondo watine nyiseche manono!
17 The Lord our God, he is God; he brought up us and our fathers from Egypt, and kept us in all the way wherein we walked, and amongst all the nations through whom we passed.
En Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachwa owuon mane ogolowa gi kwerewa e piny Misri, e piny mane wan wasumbini, kendo motimo ranyisi madongo-go ka waneno. Ne oritowa e wuodhwa duto kendo e kind ogendini duto mane wakalo eigi.
18 And the Lord cast out the Amorite, and all the nations that inhabited the land from before us: yes, we will serve the Lord, for he is our God.
Kendo Jehova Nyasaye ne oriembo ogendini duto e nyimwa, kaachiel gi jo-Amor, mane odak e pinyno. Wan bende wabiro tiyone Jehova Nyasaye, nikech en e Nyasachwa.”
19 And Joshua said to the people, Indeed you will not be able to serve the Lord, for God is holy; and he being jealous will not forgive your sins and your transgressions.
Joshua nowachone ji niya, “Ok unyal tiyone Jehova Nyasaye. En Nyasaye maler, en Nyasaye ma janyiego. Ok obi wenu kuom wich teko maru kod richo mutimo.
20 Whenever you shall forsake the Lord and serve other gods, then he shall come upon you and afflict you, and consume you, because he has done you good.
Ka ungʼanyo uweyo Jehova Nyasaye mi utiyo ne nyiseche manono, to obiro lokore mi okelnu thagruok kendo enotieku duto, kata obedo ni ne osedoko jakoru kamano.”
21 And the people said to Joshua, Nay, but we will serve the Lord.
To jo-Israel nodwoko Joshua niya, “Ooyo! Wabiro tiyone Jehova Nyasaye.”
22 And Joshua said to the people, You [are] witnesses against yourselves, that you have chosen the Lord to serve him.
Bangʼe Joshua nowacho niya, “Un uwegi usebedo joneno magu kuom yiero mondo uti ne Jehova Nyasaye.” Negidwoko niya, “Ee, wan joneno.”
23 And now take away the strange gods that are amongst you, and set your heart right towards the Lord God of Israel.
Joshua nowacho niya, “Koro wituru nyiseche manono manie dieru mondo uchiw chunyu ni tiyo ne Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasach Israel.”
24 And the people said to Joshua, We will serve the Lord, and we will listen to his voice.
To jogo nowachone Joshua niya, “Wabiro tiyone Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachwa kendo wanamiye luor.”
25 So Joshua made a covenant with the people on that day, and gave them a law and an ordinance in Selo before the tabernacle of the God of Israel.
E odiechiengno Joshua noketo singruok ne jogo, kendo kane gin Shekem nomiyogi chike monego gilu.
26 And he wrote these words in the book of the laws of God: and Joshua took a great stone, and set it up under the oak before the Lord.
Joshua nondiko gigo duto piny e Kitabu mar Chik mar Nyasaye. Bangʼe nokawo kidi maduongʼ mi okete maber e tiend yiend ober but kama ler mar Jehova Nyasaye.
27 And Joshua said to the people, Behold, this stone shall be amongst you for a witness, for it has heard all the words that have been spoken to it by the Lord; for he has spoken to you this day; and this [stone] shall be amongst you for a witness in the last days, whenever you shall deal falsely with the Lord my God.
Nowachone jogo niya, “Neuru! Kidini biro bedo janeno kuomu. Osewinjo weche duto ma Jehova Nyasaye osewachonwa. Obiro bedo janeno kuomu ka ubedo jo-miriambo ne Nyasachu.”
28 And Joshua dismissed the people, and they went every man to his place.
Bangʼe Joshua nogolo ji duto mondo odhi kuondegi mane opognigi.
29 And it came to pass after these things that Joshua the son of Naue the servant of the Lord died, [at the age] of a hundred and ten years.
Bangʼ mago duto, Joshua wuod Nun, jatich Jehova Nyasaye, notho ka en gi higni mia achiel gapar.
30 And they buried him by the borders of his inheritance in Thamnasarach in the mount of Ephraim, northward of the mount of Galaad.
Kendo ne giike e lope mane opogne, mantiere Timnath Sera e piny gode mag Efraim, mantiere yo nyandwat mar Gash.
31 And Israel served the Lord all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders that lived as long as Joshua, and all that knew all the works of the Lord which he wrought for Israel.
Jo-Israel notiyone Jehova Nyasaye e ndalo duto mag ngima Joshua kod jodongo mane osedak higni moloye, kendo mane nigi lony kuom gik moko duto mane Jehova Nyasaye osetimo ni jo-Israel.
32 And the children of Israel brought up the bones of Joseph out of Egypt, and buried [them] in Sicima, in the portion of the land which Jacob bought of the Amorites who lived in Sicima for a hundred ewe-lambs; and he gave it to Joseph for a portion.
To choke Josef, mane jo-Israel nobiro godo koa Misri, noiki Shekem e pinyno mane Jakobo ongʼiewo fedha mia achiel koa kuom yawuot Hamor, ma wuon Shekem. Ma nobedo kaka pok mar nyikwa Josef.
33 And it came to pass afterwards that Eleazar the high-priest the son of Aaron died, and was buried in Gabaar of Phinees his son, which he gave him in mount Ephraim.
Eliazar wuod Harun bende notho kendo noyike Gibea, kama nopogne wuode Finehas e piny gode mag Efraim.
