Joshua 9
1 And it came to pass, when all the kings that were on this side of the Jordan, in the mountain, and in the lowlands, and in all the coast of the great sea opposite Lebanon, the Hittites, and the Emorites, the Canaanites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites, heard this,
Ruodhi duto mane odak yo podho chiengʼ mar aora Jordan nowinjo humb wechego; mane gin ruodhi moa e tiend gode mag pinyno, gi ruodhi moa yo podho chiengʼ mar gode gi mago moa e wedhe mag Nam Mediterania kaachiel gi ruodhi moa Lebanon (mane gin ruodhi mag jo-Hiti, jo-Amor, jo-Kanaan, jo-Perizi, jo-Hivi kod mago mag jo-Jebus);
2 That they assembled themselves all together, to fight with Joshua and with Israel, with one accord.
ruodhigo noriwore giduto mondo giked gi Joshua kod jo-Israel.
3 And when the inhabitants of Gib'on heard what Joshua had done unto Jericho and unto 'Ai,
Kata kamano, kane jo-Gibeon owinjo gima Joshua notimone Jeriko kod Ai,
4 They also did work wilily, and went and feigned to be messengers, and took old sacks for their asses, and wine-bottles, old, and rent, and bound up;
negiparo mondo giwuonde. Negidhi kaka jogo man-gi punde motingʼo ogunde moti gi piende divai moti kendo obaw.
5 And [put] old and patched-up shoes upon their feet, and old garments upon themselves; and all the bread of their provision was dry and mouldy.
Jogi norwako wuoch moyiech kod lewni moti. Makati mane gin-go duto nokethore.
6 And they went to Joshua unto the camp at Gilgal, and said unto him, and to the men of Israel, We are come from a far-off country; and now make ye a covenant with us.
Eka negidhi ir Joshua e kambi man Gilgal mi giwachone Joshua kod jo-Israel niya, “Wawuok e piny mabor, omiyo yie watim kodu winjruok.”
7 And the men of Israel said unto the Hivites, Peradventure ye dwell in the midst of us; and how can we make a covenant with you:
Jo-Israel nowacho ni jo-Hivi niya, “To ka dipo ni udak kodwa machiegni, ere kaka dwa los kodu winjruok?”
8 And they said unto Joshua, We are thy servants. And Joshua said unto them, Who are ye? and whence come ye!
Negiwachone Joshua niya, “Wan jotichu.” To Joshua nopenjogi niya, “Un ngʼa gini to bende ua kanye?”
9 And they said unto him, From a very far-off country are thy servants come, because of the name of the Lord thy God; for we have heard his fame, and all that he hath done in Egypt;
Negidwoko niya, “Jotichni oa e piny mabor ahinya nikech humb Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachi. Wasewinjo humb gik mane otimo Misri,
10 And all that he hath done to the two kings of the Emorites, that were beyond the Jordan, to Sichon the king of Cheshbon, and to 'Og the king of Bashan, who was at 'Ashtaroth.
kendo gigo duto mane otimone ruodhi ariyo mag jo-Amor man yo wuok chiengʼ mar aora Jordan, ma gin Sihon ruodh Heshbon kod Og ruodh Bashan, mane odak Ashtaroth.
11 Wherefore our elders and all the inhabitants of our country said to us, as followeth, Take provisions with you for the journey, and go to meet them, and say unto them, Your servants are we: and now make ye with us a covenant.
Omiyo jodongwa kod ji duto modak e pinywa nowachonwa kama, ‘Kawuru gik mudhiyo godo e wuoth, dhiuru kendo urom kodgi ma uwachnegi niya, “Wan jotiju, losuru kodwa winjruok.”’
12 This our bread we took hot for our provision out of our houses on the day we came forth to go unto you; and now, behold, it is dry, and it is become mouldy:
Neuru makati mwatingʼogi, ne giliet ka wachako wuoth, to koro sani gikethore.
13 And these wine-bottles, which we filled, when new, — but behold, they are now become rent; and these our garments and our shoes are become worn out by reason of the very long journey.
Piend divai mane wapongʼo bende ne nyien, to koro neye kaka giyiech. Lepwa kod wuochewa bende oseti nikech wuoth marabora ahinya.”
14 And the men took of their provisions, but the decision of the Lord they did not ask.
Jotelo moko mag jo-Israel nobilo chiemb jogo ka ok gipenjo Jehova Nyasaye wach.
15 And Joshua made peace with them, and made a covenant with them, to let them live; and the princes of the congregation swore unto them.
Omiyo Joshua noketo winjruok mar kwe kodgi mondo oyienegi gidag kodgi, kendo jotelo ne opwodho ma ka gikwongʼore.
16 And it came to pass at the end of three days after they had made a covenant with them, that they heard that they were their neighbors, and that they dwelt in the midst of them.
Ndalo adek bangʼ kane giseloso winjruok gi jo-Gibeon, jo-Israel nowinjo ni jogo gin mana joma odak kodgi machiegni.
17 And the children of Israel broke up, and came unto their cities on the third day; and their cities were Gib'on, and Kephirah, and Beeroth, and Kiryath-ye'arim.
Omiyo jo-Israel nowuok, to odiechiengʼ mar adek negichopo e miechgi madongo kaka: Gibeon, Kefira, Beeroth, kod Kiriath Jearim.
18 And the children of Israel smote them not; because the princes of the congregation had sworn unto them by the Lord, the God of Israel; but all the congregation murmured against the princes.
Jo-Israel ne ok omonjogi, nikech jotend kambi nosesingore ka kwongʼore kodgi e nyim Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasach jo-Israel. Kata kamano, ji duto nongʼur gi jotendgi,
19 And all the princes said unto all the congregation, We have sworn unto them by the Lord the God of Israel: and now we cannot touch them.
to jotelogo duto nowacho niya, “Wasemiyogi singruok marwa e nying Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasach Israel, omiyo koro ok wanyal mulogi.
20 This will we do to them, and we will let them live, that there be no wrath upon us, on account of the oath which we have sworn unto them.
Ma e gima wabiro timonegi: ‘Wabiro wegi gidagi mondo kik mirima bi kuomwa nikech waketho kwongʼruok mane wasingonegi.’”
21 And the princes said unto them, Let them live: and they became hewers of wood and drawers of water unto all the congregation, as the princes had spoken unto them.
Negidhi nyime kagiwacho niya, “Wegi gidagi, mondo gibednwa jobar yien gi joumb pi ni jowa duto.” Omiyo jotelo norito singruok margi.
22 And Joshua called for them, and he spoke unto them, saying, Wherefore have ye deceived us, saying, We are very far from you: whereas ye dwell in the midst of us?
Eka Joshua noluongo jo-Gibeon kendo owachonegi niya, “Angʼo momiyo ne uwuondowa ka uwacho ni, ‘Wadak mochwalore kodu,’ to kuom adier udak mana butwa?
23 And now be ye cursed, and there shall not cease to be of you servants and hewers of wood and drawers of water for the house of my God.
Un joma okwongʼ! Ok unuwe tiyonwa kaka jobar yien gi joumb pi e od Nyasacha.”
24 And they answered Joshua, and said, Because it was certainly told thy servants, how that the Lord thy God had commanded his servant Moses to give unto you all the land, and to destroy all the inhabitants of the land from before you; wherefore we were sore afraid for our lives because of you, and we have done this thing.
Negidwoko Joshua niya, “Jotichni notimo kamano nikech Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachi nochiko Musa jatichne mondo omiu pinyni duto kendo uneg ji duto modakie. Omiyo ne waluor nikech un, kendo mano ema nomiyo watimo kamano.
25 And now, behold, we are in thy hand; as it seemeth good and right in thy eyes to do unto us, so do.
Koro to wan e lweti. Timnwauru gimoro amora muneno ni ber kendo longʼonu.”
26 And he did unto them thus; and he delivered them out of the hand of the children of Israel, and they slew them not.
Omiyo Joshua nokonyogi kuom jo-Israel ma ok ginegogi.
27 And Joshua appointed them on that day hewers of wood and drawers of water for the congregation, and for the altar of the Lord, even unto this day, for the place which he should choose.
E odiechiengʼno noketo jo-Gibeon obedo jobar yien gi joumb pi ni jo-Israel duto kendo ni tich kendo mar misango mar Jehova Nyasaye kama Jehova Nyasaye biro yiero. Kendo mano e gima gin nyaka chil kawuono.
