Joshua 23

1 And it came to pass a long time after that Jehovah had given rest to Israel from all their enemies round about, and Joshua had become old, advanced in age,

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 that Joshua called for all Israel, for their elders, and for their heads, and for their judges, and for their officers, and said unto them, I am become old, advanced in age;

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 ye have seen all that Jehovah your God hath done to all these nations because of you. For Jehovah your God is he that hath 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 Behold, I have divided unto you by lot for an inheritance, according to your tribes, these nations that remain, from the Jordan, as well as all the nations that I have cut off, as far as the great sea toward the sun-setting.

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 Jehovah your God, he will expel them from before you, and dispossess them from out of your sight; and ye shall take possession of their land, as Jehovah your God hath said unto 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 And be ye very courageous to keep and to do all that is written in the book of the law of Moses, that ye turn not aside therefrom 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 ye enter not among these nations, these that remain among you; and ye shall make no mention of the name of their gods, nor cause to swear [by them], neither serve them, nor bow yourselves unto 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 ye shall cleave unto Jehovah your God, as ye have done unto this day.

To nyaka umak Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu motegno, mana kaka usebedo ka utimo.”

9 For Jehovah hath dispossessed from before you great and strong nations; and as to you, no man hath been able to stand before you unto this day.

“Jehova Nyasaye oseriembo e nyimu oganda maduongʼ kendo maratego; kendo nyaka odiechiengni onge ngʼama oseloyou.

10 One man of you chaseth a thousand; for Jehovah your God, he it is that fighteth for you, as he hath said unto you.

Ngʼato achiel biro lawo ji alufu achiel, nikech Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu kedonu, mana kaka ne osingonu.

11 Take great heed therefore unto your souls, that ye love Jehovah your God.

Omiyo beduru motangʼ mondo uher Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu.

12 For if ye in any wise go back, and cleave unto the residue of these nations, these that remain among you, and make marriages with them, and come in unto them and they unto you:

“To ka ungʼanyo mi uriworu kod jogo motony manie pinyni modongʼ e dieru kendo unywomoru kodgi,

13 know for a certainty that Jehovah your God will no more dispossess these nations from before you, and they shall be snares and traps unto you, and scourges in your sides, and thorns in your eyes, until ye perish from off this good land which Jehovah your God hath 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 And behold, I am going this day the way of all the earth; and ye know in all your heart, and in all your soul, that not one thing hath failed of all the good words that Jehovah your God hath spoken concerning you: all are come to pass unto you — not one thing hath failed thereof.

“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 But it shall come to pass, that as every good word hath been fulfilled to you, that Jehovah your God spoke to you, so will Jehovah bring upon you every evil word, until he have destroyed you from off this good land which Jehovah your God hath 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 ye transgress the covenant of Jehovah your God which he commanded you, and go and serve other gods, and bow yourselves unto them, so that the anger of Jehovah shall be kindled against you, and ye shall perish quickly from off the good land which he hath given unto you.

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.”
