Joshua 1

1 And after the death of Moses, the servant of the Lord, it happened that the Lord spoke to Joshua, the son of Nun, the minister of Moses, and he said to him:

Kane Musa jatich Jehova Nyasaye osetho, Jehova Nyasaye nowachone Joshua wuod Nun, jakony Musa niya,

2 “Moses, my servant, has died. Rise up, and cross this Jordan, you and all the people with you, into the land which I will give to the sons of Israel.

Musa jatichna osetho. Omiyo sani, in kod jogi duto, ikreuru mondo ungʼad Aora Jordan e piny makoro achiegni miyo jo-Israel.

3 I will deliver to you every place that the step of your foot will tread upon, just as I said to Moses.

Kamoro amora ma tiendu nonyon anamiu, kaka nasingora ni Musa.

4 From the desert and from Lebanon, even to the great river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, as far as the great sea opposite the setting of the sun, shall be your border.

Gwengʼi nochakre e kuonde motwo nyaka Lebanon, kendo koa e aora maduongʼ, ma en Yufrate; piny mar jo-Hiti duto; nyaka chop e Nam Mediterania mantiere yo podho chiengʼ.

5 No one will be able to resist you during all the days of your life. Just as I was with Moses, so will I be with you. I will not leave you, nor will I forsake you.

Onge ngʼama noloyi e ndalo duto mar ngimani. Kaka ne an kod Musa, bende e kaka abiro bedo kodi; ok anaweyi kata jwangʼi.

6 Be strengthened and be steadfast. For you shall divide by lot, to this people, the land about which I swore to their fathers that I would deliver it to them.

“Bed motegno kendo gi chir; nikech ibiro telone jogi nyaka e piny mar girkeni mane akwongʼora ni kweregi ni namigi.

7 Therefore, be strengthened and be very steadfast, so that you may observe and accomplish the entire law, which Moses, my servant, instructed to you. You may not turn aside from it to the right, nor to the left. So may you understand all that you should do.

Bed motegno kendo gi chir mogundho. Bed motangʼ mondo iluor chike duto mane jatichna Musa omiyi; kik ilokri korachwich kata koracham kiweyo chikegi, mano nomi ibed gi hawi kamoro amora midhiye.

8 The book of this law shall not depart from your mouth. Instead, you shall meditate upon it, day and night, so that you may observe and do all the things that are written in it. Then you shall direct your way and understand it.

Kik iwe Kitabu mar Chikni oa e dhogi; par wechene matut odiechiengʼ kod otieno, mondo mi ibed motangʼ kitimo gik moko duto mondik e iye. Mano biro miyo ibedo gi hawi e gimoro amora mitimo.

9 Behold, I am instructing you. Be strengthened, and be steadfast. Do not dread, and do not fear. For the Lord your God is with you in all things, wherever you may go.”

Par kaka asechiki. Bed motegno kendo gi chir. Kik iluor kendo kik chunyi nyosre; nikech an Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachi abiro bedo kodi kamoro amora midhiye.”

10 And Joshua instructed the leaders of the people, saying: “Cross through the midst of the camp, and command the people, and say:

Omiyo Joshua nochiwo chik ni jotend Israel niya,

11 ‘Prepare your food supplies. For after the third day, you shall cross the Jordan, and you shall enter so as to possess the land, which the Lord your God will give to you.’”

“Dhiuru e kambi kendo unyis ji ni, ‘Ikuru gigeu mag lweny. Ndalo adek koa kawuono ubiro kalo aora Jordan gikae mondo udhi kendo ukaw mwandu mar piny ma Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu miyou kaka maru owuon.’”

12 Likewise, he said to the Reubenites and to the Gadites, and to the one half tribe of Manasseh:

To joka Reuben, gi joka Gad kod nus mar dhood joka Manase, Joshua nowachonegi niya,

13 “Remember the words, which Moses, the servant of the Lord, instructed to you, saying: ‘The Lord your God has given you rest, and has given you all the land.’

“Paruru chike mane Musa jatich mar Jehova Nyasaye nomiyou, kowacho ni: ‘Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu miyou kar yweyo kendo osechiwonu pinyni.’

14 Your wives and sons, as well as the cattle, shall remain in the land which Moses delivered to you beyond the Jordan. But as for you, pass over with weapons, before your brothers, all you who are strong of hand, and fight on their behalf,

Mondeu, nyithindu kod kweth mag jambu nyalo dak e piny mane Musa omiyou yo ka wuok chiengʼ mar aora Jordan, makmana jou makedo duto, moikore gi gige lweny, nyaka uidh loka kutelo e nyim oweteu ma jo-Israel. Konyuru oweteu,

15 until the Lord gives rest to your brothers, just as he has given to you, and until they also possess the land, which the Lord your God will give to them. And so shall you be returned to the land of your possession. And you shall live in the land, which Moses, the servant of the Lord, gave to you beyond the Jordan, opposite the rising of the sun.”

nyaka Jehova Nyasaye migi yweyo, mana kaka osetimoni, kendo nyaka gin bende gikaw mwandu mar piny ma Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu dhi miyogi. Bangʼ mano, unyalo dok kendo udagie pinyu owuon, mane Musa, jatich Jehova Nyasaye nomiyou bath aora Jordan ma yo wuok chiengʼ.”

16 And they responded to Joshua, and they said: “All that you have instructed to us, we shall do. And wherever you will send us, we shall go.

Eka negidwoko Joshua niya, “Gimoro amora misechikowa wabiro timo, kendo kamoro amora mi iorowae wabiro dhiyoe.

17 Just as we obeyed Moses in all things, so shall we obey you also. But may the Lord your God be with you, just as he was with Moses.

Mana kaka ne waluoro Musa, bende e kaka wabiro luoroi. Mad Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu bed kodi kaka nobedo gi Musa.

18 Whoever will contradict your mouth, and whoever will not obey all of your words, which you will instruct to him, let him die. But may you be strengthened, and may you act manfully.”

Ngʼato angʼata modagi winjo wachni kendo ok oluoro wecheni bende ok odewo chike mimiyogi, ibiro negi. Bed mana motegno kendo jachir!”
