Joshua 8
1 And the Lord said unto Joshua, Fear not, neither be thou discouraged: take with thee all the people of war, 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 to its king as thou hast done unto Jericho and its king; only its spoil and its cattle shall ye take for booty unto yourselves; but lay thee an ambush for the city in its rear.
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 valor, 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, in the rear of the city; go not very far from the city; and 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 that, when they come out against us, as at the first time, 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 And they will come out after us, till we have drawn them from the city; for they will say, They flee from us as at the first time: and 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 And then shall ye rise up from the ambush, and take possession of the city; and the Lord your God will deliver it in into your hand.
nyaka uwuog kuma upondoe kendo ukaw dala maduongʼno. Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu biro ketogi e lwetu.
8 And it shall be, that as soon as ye have seized the city, ye shall set the city on fire; according to the word of the Lord 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 And Joshua sent them off: and they went to lie in ambush, and remained between Beth-el 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, toward '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 of war that were with him went up, and drew nigh, and came opposite the city, and encamped on the north side of 'Ai; and the valley was 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 as an ambush between Beth-el and 'Ai, on the west side of 'Ai.
Joshua nokawo ji madirom alufu abich mooro yo podho chiengʼ mar Ai mondo opond e kind Bethel kod dala maduongʼno.
13 And the people, all the camp that was on the north of the city, and its ambush on the west of the city got ready; and 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 this, the men of the city hastened and rose up early, and went out against Israel to battle, he and all his people, at the time appointed, before the plain; but he knew not that there was an ambush against him in the rear of 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 Israel feigned themselves 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 Beth-el, 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 the Lord said unto Joshua, Stretch out the spear that is in thy hand toward 'Ai; for into thy hand will I give it. And Joshua stretched out the spear which was 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 stretched out his hand; and they entered into the city, and took possession of it, and hastened 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 the men of 'Ai turned [and looked] behind them, and 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 had 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 For when Joshua and all Israel saw that the ambush had seized the city, and that the smoke of the city ascended: they turned back, and smote 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 others issued out of the city against them; so that the Israelites had them in the middle, some on this side, and some on that side; and they smote them, until there was not left of them one that remained or escaped.
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 caught alive, and brought him to Joshua.
Ruodh Ai kende ema negimako kangima kendo negitere ir Joshua.
24 And it came to pass, that, when Israel had made an end of slaying all the inhabitants of 'Ai in the field, in the wilderness wherein they had pursued them, and when they were all fallen by the edge of the sword, until they were consumed, 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 [the number of] all that fell in that day, both of men and women, was twelve thousand, all the people of 'Ai.
Jo-Ai duto machwo kod mamon alufu apar gariyo notho chiengʼno.
26 And Joshua drew not back his hand, wherewith he had 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 as booty unto themselves, according to the word of the Lord which he had 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 a ruinous heap of desolation for ever, even 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 at the going down of the sun, Joshua commanded, and they took his carcass down from the tree and cast it at the entrance of the city gate, and they raised over him a great heap of stones, [which is] even 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 did Joshua build an altar unto the Lord, the God of Israel on mount 'Ebal,
Eka Joshua nogero kendo mar misango e got Ebal ni Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasach Israel,
31 As Moses the servant of the Lord had 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 one had lifted up any iron tool; and they offered thereon burnt-offerings unto the Lord, 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 the officers, and their judges, stood on this side and on that side of the ark, opposite the priests the Levites, who bore the ark of the covenant of the Lord, the stranger no less than the native born: half of them turned toward mount Gerizzim, and the other half of them turned toward mount 'Ebal; as Moses the servant of the Lord had commanded, to bless the people of Israel at first.
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 blessing and the curse, all, just as it 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 had commanded, which Joshua did not read before all the congregation of Israel, with the women, and the little ones, and the stranger that walked in the midst of 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.
