Joshua 8
1 And YHWH said unto Joshua, Fear not, neither be thou dismayed: take all the people of war with thee, and arise, go up to Ai: see, I have given into thy hand the king of Ai, and his people, and his city, and his land:
Eka Jehova Nyasaye nowachone Joshua niya, “Kik iluor, kendo kik chunyi nyosre. Kaw jolweny duto mondo udhi umonj Ai, nimar asechiwo e lwetu ruodh Ai, joge, dalane maduongʼ kod pinye.
2 And thou shalt do to Ai and her king as thou didst unto Jericho and her king: only the spoil thereof, and the cattle thereof, shall ye take for a prey unto yourselves: lay thee an ambush for the city behind it.
Timneuru Ai kod ruodhe mana kaka ne utimone Jeriko kod ruodhe, to wangʼni oyienu kawo gigo mane giyudo e yor mecho kaachiel gi jamni. Monjuru dala maduongʼno gi yo katoke.”
3 So Joshua arose, and all the people of war, to go up against Ai: and Joshua chose out thirty thousand mighty men of valour, and sent them away by night.
Omiyo Joshua kod jolweny duto nowuok mondo gimonj Ai. Noyiero joge alufu piero adek molony e lweny mi oorogi oko gotieno komiyogi chik niya,
4 And he commanded them, saying, Behold, ye shall lie in wait against the city, even behind the city: go not very far from the city, but be ye all ready:
“Winjuru. Nyaka umonj dala maduongʼno gi yo katoke. Kik udhi mabor ahinya. Un duto nyaka uikru.
5 And I, and all the people that are with me, will approach unto the city: and it shall come to pass, when they come out against us, as at the first, that we will flee before them,
An kod jogo duto man koda, to biro dhi nyime e dala maduongʼ, to ka jogo obiro mondo omonjwa kaka negitimo motelocha, to wabiro ringo waa irgi.
6 (For they will come out after us) till we have drawn them from the city; for they will say, They flee before us, as at the first: therefore we will flee before them.
Gibiro luwo bangʼwa nyaka wawuondgi mi giwuog oko mar dala maduongʼ, mi giniwach e chunygi ni, ‘Ne, giringowa mana kaka ne giringowa motelo.’ Omiyo seche mwaringogino
7 Then ye shall rise up from the ambush, and seize upon the city: for YHWH your Elohim will deliver it into your hand.
nyaka uwuog kuma upondoe kendo ukaw dala maduongʼno. Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu biro ketogi e lwetu.
8 And it shall be, when ye have taken the city, that ye shall set the city on fire: according to the commandment of YHWH shall ye do. See, I have commanded you.
Ka usekawo dala maduongʼno, to uwangʼe gi mach. Timuru gima Jehova Nyasaye osechiko kendo nyaka une ni utimo gik ma achikou.”
9 Joshua therefore sent them forth: and they went to lie in ambush, and abode between Bethel and Ai, on the west side of Ai: but Joshua lodged that night among the people.
Eka Joshua noorogi ma gidhi gipondo e kind Bethel gi Ai, ma en yo podho chiengʼ mar Ai, kendo otienono nosiko gi ji kanyo.
10 And Joshua rose up early in the morning, and numbered the people, and went up, he and the elders of Israel, before the people to Ai.
Kinyne gokinyi mangʼich Joshua nochoko jolweny mage duto ka en kaachiel gi jodong Israel wuotho e nyimgi kadhi Ai.
11 And all the people, even the people of war that were with him, went up, and drew nigh, and came before the city, and pitched on the north side of Ai: now there was a valley between them and Ai.
Jolweny duto mane ni kode ne wuotho ka gichomo dala maduongʼ nyaka negichopo machiegni kode. Negigero kambigi yo nyandwat mar Ai, ka holo ni e kindgi kod dala maduongʼ.
12 And he took about five thousand men, and set them to lie in ambush between Bethel and Ai, on the west side of the city.
Joshua nokawo ji madirom alufu abich mooro yo podho chiengʼ mar Ai mondo opond e kind Bethel kod dala maduongʼno.
13 And when they had set the people, even all the host that was on the north of the city, and their liers in wait on the west of the city, Joshua went that night into the midst of the valley.
Kuom mano thoth jolweny nobworo yo nyandwat mar dala maduongʼno, to joma nopondo ne ni yo podho chiengʼ. Otienono Joshua to nonindo e holo.
14 And it came to pass, when the king of Ai saw it, that they hasted and rose up early, and the men of the city went out against Israel to battle, he and all his people, at a time appointed, before the plain; but he knew not that there were liers in ambush against him behind the city.
Kane ruodh Ai oneno ma, en kod ji duto mar dala maduongʼ nowuok oko mapiyo nono gokinyi mangʼich mondo girom kod jo-Israel e lweny kama omanyore gi Araba. To ne ok ongʼeyo ni kar pondo noseketi e ngʼe dala maduongʼno.
15 And Joshua and all Israel made as if they were beaten before them, and fled by the way of the wilderness.
Joshua kod jo-Israel duto nowuondore ni ologi, mi giringo ka gichiko thim.
16 And all the people that were in Ai were called together to pursue after them: and they pursued after Joshua, and were drawn away from the city.
Chwo duto ma Ai nowuok mondo olaw Joshua gi joge, to kane gilawogi kamano, to ne gichwalore mabor gi dala maduongʼno.
17 And there was not a man left in Ai or Bethel, that went not out after Israel: and they left the city open, and pursued after Israel.
Onge ngʼama nodongʼ Ai kata Bethel mane ok olawo jo-Israel. Ne giweyo dala maduongʼ nono ka gilawo jo-Israel.
18 And YHWH said unto Joshua, Stretch out the spear that is in thy hand toward Ai; for I will give it into thine hand. And Joshua stretched out the spear that he had in his hand toward the city.
Eka Jehova Nyasaye nowachone Joshua niya, “Siem yo Ai gi tongʼ mitingʼo e lwetino, nikech e lweti abiro chiwoe dala maduongʼno.” Omiyo Joshua nosiemo tongʼe kochiko Ai.
19 And the ambush arose quickly out of their place, and they ran as soon as he had stretched out his hand: and they entered into the city, and took it, and hasted and set the city on fire.
E seche mane otimo ma, jogo mane opondo noa malo piyo ka giringo gidonjo e dala maduongʼ. Bangʼ kane gisekawe, ne giwangʼe mana gisano.
20 And when the men of Ai looked behind them, they saw, and, behold, the smoke of the city ascended up to heaven, and they had no power to flee this way or that way: and the people that fled to the wilderness turned back upon the pursuers.
Jo-Ai nongʼiyo chien ma gineno ka iro dhwolore e dala maduongʼ kochiko polo, makmana ne gionge gi thuolo mar pondo e yo moro amora nikech jo-Israel mane osebedo kawuondore ni ringo kochiko thim nolokore kod jogo mane lawogi.
21 And when Joshua and all Israel saw that the ambush had taken the city, and that the smoke of the city ascended, then they turned again, and slew the men of Ai.
Kane Joshua kod jo-Israel noneno ka joma nopondo osekawo dala maduongʼ kendo iro bende ne dhwolore kanyo, negilokore mi gimonjo jo-Ai.
22 And the other issued out of the city against them; so they were in the midst of Israel, some on this side, and some on that side: and they smote them, so that they let none of them remain or escape.
Jogo mane opondo bende nowuok oko mar dala maduongʼ moromo kodgi kendo omonjogi, omiyo nogengʼnegi e diere ka jo-Israel ni koni gi koni. Jo-Israel notiekogi pep maonge ngʼama notony kata achiel.
23 And the king of Ai they took alive, and brought him to Joshua.
Ruodh Ai kende ema negimako kangima kendo negitere ir Joshua.
24 And it came to pass, when Israel had made an end of slaying all the inhabitants of Ai in the field, in the wilderness wherein they chased them, and when they were all fallen on the edge of the sword, until they were consumed, that all the Israelites returned unto Ai, and smote it with the edge of the sword.
Kane jo-Israel ne osetieko nego jo-Ai duto mane ni e pap kod mane ni e thim kama ne giselawogie, kendo kane gisenegogi duto gi ligangla, jo-Israel nodok Ai mi ginego jogo mane odongʼ kuno.
25 And so it was, that all that fell that day, both of men and women, were twelve thousand, even all the men of Ai.
Jo-Ai duto machwo kod mamon alufu apar gariyo notho chiengʼno.
26 For Joshua drew not his hand back, wherewith he stretched out the spear, until he had utterly destroyed all the inhabitants of Ai.
Joshua ne ok owe siemo Ai gi tongʼ mane otingʼo e lwete nyaka Israel notieko ji duto mane odak Ai.
27 Only the cattle and the spoil of that city Israel took for a prey unto themselves, according unto the word of YHWH which he commanded Joshua.
Jo-Israel to nokawo jamni gi mwandu mane giyako mar dala maduongʼno mana kaka Jehova Nyasaye nosechiko Joshua.
28 And Joshua burnt Ai, and made it an heap for ever, even a desolation unto this day.
Omiyo Joshua nowangʼo Ai mi okete obedo pith mongingore mar kethruok kendo pod en kamano nyaka chil kawuono.
29 And the king of Ai he hanged on a tree until eventide: and as soon as the sun was down, Joshua commanded that they should take his carcase down from the tree, and cast it at the entering of the gate of the city, and raise thereon a great heap of stones, that remaineth unto this day.
Ne onego ruodh Ai mi oliere gi tol e yath kama noriyoe nyaka odhiambo. Kane ochopo odhiambo, Joshua nogolo chik mondo ogol ringre oko e yath kendo lware piny e dhoranga dala maduongʼ. Nodhur kuome kite mangʼeny ma pod ni kanyo nyaka chil kawuono.
30 Then Joshua built an altar unto YHWH Elohim of Israel in mount Ebal,
Eka Joshua nogero kendo mar misango e got Ebal ni Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasach Israel,
31 As Moses the servant of YHWH commanded the children of Israel, as it is written in the book of the law of Moses, an altar of whole stones, over which no man hath lift up any iron: and they offered thereon burnt offerings unto YHWH, and sacrificed peace offerings.
mana kaka Musa jatich Jehova Nyasaye nosechiko jo-Israel. Nogere kaluwore gi gima nondiki e kitap Chik mar Musa niya, Kendo mar misango moger gi kite ma ok opa, gi gir nyinyo. Ewi kendono ema negichiwone Jehova Nyasaye misango miwangʼo pep kod misango mar lalruok.
32 And he wrote there upon the stones a copy of the law of Moses, which he wrote in the presence of the children of Israel.
Joshua nondiko chik Musa e kitego e nyim jo-Israel.
33 And all Israel, and their elders, and officers, and their judges, stood on this side the ark and on that side before the priests the Levites, which bare the ark of the covenant of YHWH, as well the stranger, as he that was born among them; half of them over against mount Gerizim, and half of them over against mount Ebal; as Moses the servant of YHWH had commanded before, that they should bless the people of Israel.
Jo-Israel duto, jopinje mamoko kod jopinyno machalre, ka gin gi jodong-gi, gi jotendgi kod jongʼad bura nochungʼ e bath Sandug Muma mar singruok mar Jehova Nyasaye koni gi koni, ka gimanyore gi jo-Lawi ma gin jodolo. Nus mar jo-Israel nochungʼ kochomo got Gerizim, to nus mar jo-Israel mamoko nochungʼ kochomo got Ebal mana kaka Musa ma jatich Jehova Nyasaye nosechiko chon kane ochiwo nonro mar gwedho jo-Israel.
34 And afterward he read all the words of the law, the blessings and cursings, according to all that is written in the book of the law.
Bangʼ mano, Joshua nosomo weche mag chik ma gin, gweth gi kwongʼ mana kaka ondikgi e Kitap Chik mar Musa.
35 There was not a word of all that Moses commanded, which Joshua read not before all the congregation of Israel, with the women, and the little ones, and the strangers that were conversant among them.
Onge chik Musa mane Joshua oweyo ma ok osomo ni kanyakla mar Israel duto, kaachiel gi mon, gi nyithindo, kod jopinje mamoko mane odak e diergi.
