Joshua 7
1 But the sons of Israel transgressed the commandment, and they usurped what was anathema. For Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, from the tribe of Judah, took something from what was anathema. And the Lord became angry against the sons of Israel.
Jo-Israel ne ok obedo jo-ratiro kaluwore gi gik mane owal ni Jehova Nyasaye. Ngʼat mane nyinge Akan wuod Karmi, ma wuod Zabdi, ma wuod Zera, mar dhood Juda nokawo moko kuom gik mane owalgi. Omiyo Jehova Nyasaye nobedo gi mirima gi jo-Israel.
2 And when Joshua sent men from Jericho against Ai, which is beside Bethaven, toward the eastern region of the town of Bethel, he said to them, “Go up and explore the land.” And they fulfilled his instruction, and they explored Ai.
Kane Joshua ooro ji koa Jeriko mondo odhi Ai, mantiere but Beth Aven yo podho chiengʼ mar Bethel nokonegi niya, “Dhiuru kendo utim nonro ma lingʼ-lingʼ mar gwengʼno.” Omiyo jogo nodhi mi ginono Ai lingʼ-lingʼ.
3 And returning, they said to him: “Let not the entire people go up. Instead, let two or three thousand men go out and destroy the city. Why should all the people be troubled without cause against enemies that are so very few?”
Kane gidwogo ir Joshua, negiwachone niya, “Ji duto ok onego dhi kedo gi jo-Ai. To or ji alufu ariyo kata adek mondo odhi okawe kendo kik oket ji obed mool nikech nitiere mana ji manok kuno.”
4 Therefore, they went up with three thousand fighters. And they promptly turned their backs,
Omiyo ji madirom alufu adek ema nodhi, to jo-Ai noriembogi,
5 and were struck down by the men of the city of Ai. And thirty-six men of them fell. And the adversaries pursued them from the gate, even as far as Shebarim. And they felled them as they were fleeing downward. And the heart of the people was struck with fear, and it melted like water.
mi ji madirom piero adek gauchiel nonegi. Ne giriembo jo-Israel koa e dhoranga dala maduongʼ nyaka kama nitiere kite mopa kendo neginegogi e holo. Mano nomiyo kihondko nogoyogi ma gipodho.
6 And truly, Joshua tore his garments, and he fell prone on the ground before the ark of the Lord, even until evening, both he and all the elders of Israel. And they cast dust upon their heads.
Bangʼe Joshua noyiecho lepe mi opodho auma e nyim Sandug Muma mar Jehova Nyasaye, moriyo kanyo nyaka odhiambo. Jodong Israel bende notimo kamano kendo ne giolo buru e wigi.
7 And Joshua said: “Alas, O Lord God! Why would you want to lead this people over the river Jordan, so that you might deliver us into the hand of the Amorite and destroy us? I wish that we had remained beyond the Jordan, as when we began.
Joshua nowacho niya, “Yaye, Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto, ere gima omiyo isekelo jogi loka mar aora Jordan mana ni mondo ichiwgi e lwet jo-Amor mondo itiekgi? Mad ne gik mane wan-go loka cha romwa kendo wasik kuno!
8 My Lord God, what shall I say, seeing Israel turning their backs to their enemies?
Yaye, Ruoth Nyasaye, en angʼo ma dwawachi ka jo-Israel oseriemb gi wasikgi kama?
9 The Canaanites and all the inhabitants of the land will hear of it, and coming together as one, they will surround us, and they will wipe our name from the earth. And what will you do concerning your great name?”
Jo-Kanaan gi jopinyni mamoko biro winjo kuom wachni kendo gibiro monjowa mi gitiekwa e pinyni. Angʼo ma nitim mondo ires nyingi maduongʼni?”
10 And the Lord said to Joshua: “Rise up. Why are you lying flat on the ground?
Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ni Joshua niya, “Chungʼ malo! Angʼo ma ikulone wiyi piny ka?
11 Israel has sinned and transgressed my covenant. And they have taken from what is anathema. And they have stolen and lied, and they have hidden it among their goods.
Jo-Israel osetimo richo, kendo giseketho singruokna mane achikogi mondo giriti. Gisekawo bath gik moko mane owal, gisekwalo, giseriambo, kendo gisekawo gigo mokwer ma giriwo gi gig-gi giwegi.
12 Israel is not able to stand before his enemies, and he will flee from them. For he has been defiled by what is anathema. I will no longer be with you, until you destroy him who is guilty of this wickedness.
Mano emomiyo jo-Israel ok nyal loyo wasikgi; giloko ngʼegi kendo giringo nikech oseketgi gir kethruok. Ok anabed kodu makmana ka uketho gigo manie dieru mowal ni kethruok.
13 Rise up. Sanctify the people. And you shall say to them: ‘Be sanctified tomorrow. For thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: That which is anathema is in your midst, O Israel! You are not able to stand before your enemies, until he who has been contaminated by this wickedness is taken away from you.’
“Aa malo mondo inyis jo-Israel opwodhre kinyisogi ni, ‘Pwodhreuru kuikoru ni odiechiengʼ ma kiny nikech Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasach Israel wacho kama: Gik mowal ne Jehova Nyasaye nitie e dieru, yaye Israel, omiyo kapod ok ugolo gigo kuomu, to ok unulo wasiku.
14 And you shall draw near in the morning, each one by your tribes. And whichever tribe will be found by lot shall come forward by its families, and the families by houses, and the house by the men.
“‘Wuoguru gokinyi dhoot ka dhoot. Dhoot ma Jehova Nyasaye noyier biro biro e nyime anywola ka anywola, to anywola ma Jehova Nyasaye noyier biro biro e nyime dala ka dala, kendo dala ma Jehova Nyasaye noyier biro biro e nyime ngʼato ka ngʼato.
15 And whoever he may be that will be found guilty of this deed, he shall be burnt with fire with all his substance. For he transgressed the covenant of the Lord, and he committed a wicked act in Israel.”
Ngʼatno mani maki gi gigo mowal notieki gi mach, kaachiel gi gige duto, nikech oseketho singruok mar Jehova Nyasaye kendo osetimo gima mono e piny Israel!’”
16 And so Joshua, rising in the morning, brought forth Israel by their tribes, and the tribe of Judah was found.
Kinyne gokinyi mangʼich Joshua noluongo jo-Israel gi dhoutgi, kendo Juda noyier.
17 And when its families had been presented, the family of Zerah was found. Likewise, bringing that one forward by the houses, he discovered Zabdi.
Anywola mar Juda nobiro, mi oyier joka Zera. Joka Zera nobiro ot ka ot mi od Zabdi ema noyier.
18 And dividing his house by each man, he found Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, from the tribe of Judah.
Kane ogolo ngʼato ka ngʼato kuom joka Zabdi, to Akan wuod Karmi, ma wuod Zimri, ma wuod Zera mar dhood Juda ema noyier.
19 And Joshua said to Achan: “My son, give glory to the Lord, the God of Israel, and confess, and reveal to me what you have done. You may not conceal it.”
Bangʼ mano, Joshua nowachone Akan niya, “Wuoda, mi Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasach Israel duongʼ gi pak. Nyisa gima isetimo kendo kik ipanda.”
20 And Achan responded to Joshua, and he said to him: “Truly, I have sinned against the Lord, the God of Israel, and I have done one thing and another.
Akan nodwoke niya, “En adier! Asetimone Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasach Israel richo. Ma e gima asetimo:
21 For I saw among the spoils a very fine scarlet cloak, and two hundred shekels of silver, and a gold bar of fifty shekels. And coveting these, I took and hid them in the ground near the middle of my tent, and I covered the silver with the soil that I had dug.”
Kane aneno gik miketho kaka njora maber moa Babulon, gi fedha ma pekne dirom kilo ariyo, to gi dhahabu ma pekne oromo nus kilo, to chunya nogombogi mi akawogi kendo apandogi e bwo lowo ei hemba ka fedha ema oket piny mogik.”
22 Therefore, Joshua sent ministers, who, running to his tent, discovered everything hidden in the same place, together with the silver.
Omiyo Joshua nooro joote mi giringo e hema kendo ne giyudogi mana kaka gin, kopandgi e hembe, ka fedha ema oket piny mogik.
23 And taking these from the tent, they brought them to Joshua, and to all the sons of Israel, and they cast them down before the Lord.
Negigolo gigo koa e hema, mi gikelogi ni Joshua kod jo-Israel duto kendo gipedhogi oko e nyim Jehova Nyasaye.
24 And so Joshua took Achan, the son of Zerah, and the silver, and the cloak, and the gold bar, also his sons and daughters, the oxen and donkeys and sheep, and even the tent and all his goods, (and all of Israel went with him, ) and he brought these to the valley of Achor.
Bangʼ mano Joshua, kaachiel gi jo-Israel duto nokawo Akan ma nyakwar Zera, gi fedha, gi njora, gi dhahabu, yawuote kod nyige, dhok, punde kod rombe, hembe kod gigo duto ma en godo mi giterogi nyaka e holo mar Akor.
25 There, Joshua said: “Because you have troubled us, the Lord troubles you, on this day.” And all of Israel stoned him. And all the things that were his were consumed by fire.
Joshua nowacho niya, “Angʼo momiyo isekelo masira machal kama kuomwa? In bende Jehova Nyasaye biro keloni masira.” Bangʼe jo-Israel duto nochielo Akan kod joge gi kite, kendo ne giwangʼe kaachiel gi joge.
26 And they gathered upon him a great pile of stones, which remains even to the present day. And the fury of the Lord was averted from them. And the name of that place was called the Valley of Achor, even to this day.
Bangʼ mano ne gidhuro kite kuom Akan, ma mano pod ni kamano nyaka chil kawuono. Eka mirima mar Jehova Nyasaye norumo. Kuom mano kanyo pod iluongo ni Holo mar Akor nyaka chil kawuono.
