< Joshua 2 >
1 And Joshua the son of Nun sent from Shittim two spies secretly, saying, Go, see the land, even Jericho. And they went, and came into a harlot's house, named Rahab, and they lay down 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 And it was told the king of Jericho, saying, Behold, men have come hither to-night from the children of Israel to search out the land.
Ruodh Jeriko nonyisi niya, “Ngʼe ni jo-Israel moko osebiro ka gotienoni mondo onon pinywa.”
3 And the king of Jericho sent to Rahab, saying, Bring forth the men that have come to thee, who have come into thy house: for they have come to search out all 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 had taken and concealed the two men; and she said, Yes, the men did come unto me, but I knew not whence they were;
Kata kamano, Rahab nosekawo ji ariyogi kendo opandogi. Nowacho niya, “En adier, ni jogi nobiro ira, to ne ok angʼeyo ni gia kanye.
5 and it came to pass when the gate had to be closed, at dark, that the men went out: I know not whither the men have gone. Pursue after them quickly; for ye shall 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 taken them up to the roof, and secreted them under the stalks of flax, which she had laid out on the roof.
To chutho, noyudo ka osepando jogi ewi tado e bwo othith mane opedhi ewi tado kanyo.
7 And the men pursued after them the way to the Jordan, to the fords; and when they who pursued after them had gone out, they closed the gate.
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 before they had lain down, she went up to them upon the roof;
Kane jonon pinygo ne pok odhi nindo, dhakoni noidho modhi ewi tado,
9 and said to the men, I know that Jehovah has given you the land, and that the dread of you has fallen on us, and that all the inhabitants of the land faint because of you.
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 Jehovah dried up the waters of the Red sea before you when ye came out of Egypt; and what ye did to the two kings of the Amorites that were beyond the Jordan, to Sihon and to Og, whom ye 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 We heard [of it], and our heart melted, and there remained no more spirit in any man because of you; for Jehovah your God, he is God in the heavens 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, I pray you, swear to me by Jehovah, since I have dealt kindly with you, that ye will also deal kindly with my father's house, and give me a certain sign,
“Kuom mano, kwongʼrenauru gi Jehova Nyasaye ni ubiro ngʼwonone jooda, nikech an bende asetimonu ngʼwono. Singrenauru
13 that ye will let my father live, and my mother, and my brethren, and my sisters, and all that belong to them, and deliver our souls 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 lives shall pay for yours, if ye do not make this our business known; and it shall be when Jehovah shall give us the land, that we will deal kindly and truly with thee.
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 a cord through the window; for her house was upon the city-wall, and she dwelt upon the wall.
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, Go to the mountain, that the pursuers may not meet with you; and hide yourselves there three days, until the pursuers have returned; and afterwards go 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 will be quit of this thine oath which thou hast made us swear.
Jogi nowachone niya, “Kwongʼ ma isemiyo wakwongʼore godo ok otweyowa,
18 Behold, when we come into the land, thou shalt bind in the window this line of scarlet thread by which thou hast let us down; and thou shalt gather to thee in the house thy father, and thy mother, and thy brethren, and all thy father's household;
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 be, that whoever shall go out of the doors of thy house into the street, — his blood shall be upon his head, and we shall be innocent; but every one who shall be with thee in the house, his blood shall be upon our head, if any hand be upon him.
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 And if thou make known this our business, we will be quit of thine oath which thou hast made us swear.
Makmana, ka dipo ni iwacho gino ma watimo, to inigonywa kuom kwongʼruok mane iketowa wakwongʼore godo.”
21 And she said, According to your words, so be it. And she sent them away, and they departed. And she bound the scarlet line in the window.
Nowachonegi niya, “Wawinjore! Kendo mondo obed kaka uwachono.” Omiyo ne ogologi mi gidhi. Bangʼe notweyo tol makwar e dirisa.
22 And they went, and came to the mountain, and remained there three days, until the pursuers had returned; and the pursuers sought them all the way, 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 men returned and came down from the mountain, and went over and came to Joshua the son of Nun, and related to him everything 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, Of a surety Jehovah has given the whole land into our hands, and even all the inhabitants of the land faint because of us.
Negiwachone Joshua niya, “Adiera, Jehova Nyasaye osechiwo pinyni duto e lwetwa, bende jogo modak e pinyno kihondko osemako nikech wan.”
