Joshua 22
1 Then, called Joshua—for the Reubenites, and for the Gadites, —and for the half tribe of Manasseh;
Eka Joshua noluongo jo-Reuben, jo-Gad kod nus mar dhood Manase
2 and said unto them, Ye, have observed all that Moses the servant of Yahweh commanded you, —and have hearkened unto my voice, in all that I commanded you:
mowachonegi niya, “Usetimo gigo duto mane Musa jatich Jehova Nyasaye ochiko, kendo bende useluora e gigo duto mane achikou.
3 ye have not forsaken your brethren, these many days, unto this day, —but have kept the charge of the commandment of Yahweh your God.
Kuom kinde mangʼeny nyaka kawuononi, pok ujwangʼo oweteu, to usetimo tich mane Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu omiyou.
4 Now, therefore, that Yahweh your God hath given rest unto your brethren, according as he spake unto them, —now, therefore, turn ye and get you to your homes within the land of your possession, which Moses the servant of Yahweh gave unto you, over the Jordan.
Ka koro Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu osemiyo oweteu kwe kaka ne osesingo, doguru e miechu e piny mane Musa jatich Jehova Nyasaye nomiyou e bath aora Jordan kocha.
5 Only, take ye diligent heed, to do the commandment and the law, which Moses the servant of Yahweh commanded you—to love Yahweh your God, and to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments, and to cleave unto him, —and to serve him—with all your heart, and with all your soul.
To beduru motangʼ kurito puonj kod chike mane Musa jatich Jehova Nyasaye omiyou kama: heruru Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu, wuothuru e yorene duto, luoruru chikene, padreuru kuome kendo tineuru gi ngimau duto.”
6 So Joshua blessed them, —and sent them away, and they took their journey unto their homes.
Bangʼe Joshua nogwedhogi mi oorogi, kendo negidok e miechgi.
7 Now, unto the [one] half tribe of Manesseh, had Moses given a possession in Bashan, and, unto the [other] half, did Joshua give possession with their brethren, over the Jordan, westward, —moreover also, when Joshua sent them away unto their homes, he blessed them,
To ne nus mar dhood Manase, Musa nomiyogi piny mantiere Bashan, to nus machielo mar dhoodno, Joshua nomiyogi piny mantiere yo podho chiengʼ mar aora Jordan kaachiel gi owetene. Kane Joshua osegologi mondo gidog e miechgi, nogwedhogi kowacho niya,
8 and spake unto them, saying—With much wealth, return ye unto your homes, even with very much cattle, with silver and with gold, and with copper and with iron, and with very much raiment, —divide ye the spoil of your enemies with your brethren.
“Ero udok e miechu gi mwandu mangʼeny kaka kweth mar jamni mathoth, fedha, dhahabu, mula gi nyinyo, kod lewni mangʼeny kendo neuru ni upogone oweteu gigo mane upeyo kuom wasiku.”
9 So the sons of Reuben and the sons of Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh. returned and departed from the sons of Israel, from Shiloh, which was in the land of Canaan, —to go unto the land of Gilead, unto the land of their possession, wherein they had received their possessions, at the bidding of Yahweh by the hand of Moses.
Omiyo jo-Reuben, jo-Gad kod nus mar dhood Manase noweyo jo-Israel Shilo mantiere Kanaan, mondo gidogi Gilead, pinygi giwegi, mane giyudo kaluwore gi chik Jehova Nyasaye kokalo kuom Musa.
10 And, when they came into the circles of the Jordan, which were in the land of Canaan, —then did the sons of Reuben and the sons of Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh build there an altar by the Jordan, an altar of large dimensions,
Kane gibiro Geliloth but aora Jordan e piny Kanaan, jo-Reuben, jo-Gad kod nus mar dhood Manase nogero kendo mar misango machiegni gi aora Jordan.
11 And the sons of Israel heard say, —Lo! the sons of Reuben and the sons of Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh have built an altar in front of the land of Canaan, in the circles of the Jordan, in the region opposite the sons of Israel.
To ka jo-Israel nowinjo ni negisegero kendo mar misango e tongʼ Kanaan kama iluongo ni Geliloth but aora Jordan yo kor jo-Israel,
12 And, when the sons of Israel heard, all the assembly of the sons of Israel gathered themselves together at Shiloh, to go up against them to war.
oganda duto mar Israel nochokore Shilo mondo gidhi giked kodgi.
13 And the sons of Israel sent unto the sons of Reuben and unto the sons of Gad and unto the half tribe of Manasseh, within the land of Gilead, —Phinehas, son of Eleazar the priest;
Omiyo jo-Israel nooro Finehas wuod Eliazar jadolo, e piny Gilead, ir jo-Reuben, jo-Gad kod nus mar dhood Manase,
14 and ten princes with him, one prince of an ancestral house for each of the tribes of Israel, —they being, severally heads of their ancestral houses, among the thousands of Israel.
mi nodhi gi jotelo apar mag dhout Israel kamoro ka moro ochungʼ ne dhoot ka dhoot.
15 So they came in unto the sons of Reuben and unto the sons of Gad and unto the half tribe of Manasseh, within the land of Gilead, —and spake with them, saying:
Kane gidhi Gilead, ir dhood Reuben, Gad kod nus mar dhood Manase, negiwachonegi niya,
16 Thus, say all the assembly of Yahweh—What is this act of treachery which ye have committed against the God of Israel, that ye should turn back, to-day, from following Yahweh, —in that ye have builded you an altar, that ye might rebel, to-day, against Yahweh?
“Oganda duto mar Jehova Nyasaye wacho kama: Ere gima omiyo uketho winjruok maru gi Nyasach Israel? Ere gima omiyo ungʼanyo ni Jehova Nyasaye mi ugero kendo mar misango ni un uwegi e yor wangʼ teko?
17 Too little for us, was the iniquity of Peor, from which we have not cleansed ourselves, unto this day, —although the plague came upon the assembly of Yahweh;
Donge richo mane watimo Peor oromo? Nyaka chil kawuono kum mane Jehova Nyasaye omiyowa pok orumo!
18 but that, ye, must turn back to-day from following Yahweh, —though it must needs be that, if, ye, rebel to-day against Yahweh, then, to-morrow, with all the assembly of Israel, will he be wroth?
Uparo ni kumno ne yot ma pod udhi nyime mana ne ngʼanyo ni Jehova Nyasaye? “‘Ka dipo ni pod ukwedo Jehova Nyasaye kawuono, to kiny iye biro wangʼ gi jo-Israel duto.
19 Howbeit, if, unclean, be the land of your possession, do ye on your part come over into the land of the possession of Yahweh, where abideth the habitation of Yahweh, and take your possession in our midst, —but, against Yahweh, do not rebel, nor, against us, rebel, by building yourselves an altar apart from the altar of Yahweh our God.
Ka piny ma ukawoni odwanyore, to biuru e piny Jehova Nyasaye, kama ogurie hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye, kendo mondo udag kodwa e pinyni. To kik ukwed Jehova Nyasaye kata mana wan bende ka ugero kendo mar misango ne un uwegi, makmana kendo mar misango mar Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachwa kende.
20 Did not, Achan son of Zerah, commit an act of treachery, with a devoted thing, and, upon all the assembly of Israel, came wrath, —so that not, he—one man alone, died in his iniquity.
Donge uparo kaka Akan wuod Zera notimo richo e nyim Jehova Nyasaye, momiyo oganda jo-Israel duto okum? Ok en kende ema notho nikech richone.’”
21 Then responded the sons of Reuben and the sons of Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh, —and spake unto the heads of the thousands of Israel:
Jo-Reuben, Gad kod nus mar dhood Manase nodwoko jotend anywola mag jo-Israel niya,
22 El-Elohim-Yahweh, El-Elohim-Yahweh, he knoweth, and, Israel, he, shall know, —if in rebellion, or if in treachery, against Yahweh, do not save us this day:
“Jehova Nyasaye en Nyasaye Maratego! Jehova Nyasaye en Nyasaye Maratego! Ongʼeyo gik moko duto! Israel mondo ongʼe! Ka dipo ni ma notim e yor ngʼanyo, kata bedo maonge gi luor ne Jehova Nyasaye, to kik ingʼwon-nwa kawuono.
23 that we should build for ourselves an altar, to turn back from following Yahweh, —or, if that we might cause to go up thereon ascending-sacrifice or meal-offering, or if that we might offer thereon peace-offerings, let Yahweh himself require it;
Ka dipo ni wagero kendowa mar misango owuon mondo waa ir Jehova Nyasaye kendo mondo wachiw misango miwangʼo pep kod chiwo mar cham, kata ni wachiw misango mar lalruok kuome, to mad Jehova Nyasaye kumwa kaka joma osetimo richo.
24 if, indeed, we have not, rather, out of anxiety and of purpose, done this thing, saying, —. In time to come, your sons might speak to our sons, saying, What have ye to do with Yahweh, God of Israel;
“Ooyo! Ne watimo kamano nikech chiengʼ moro nyikwawa nyalo wachone nyikwau ni, ‘En angʼo ma wanyalo timo gi Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasach Israel?
25 seeing that, a boundary, hath Yahweh put between us and you, ye sons of Reuben and ye sons of Gad—even the Jordan, ye have no portion in Yahweh, —so might your sons cause our sons, to cease from revering Yahweh.
Jehova Nyasaye oseketo aora Jordan mondo opog kindwa kodu, un joka Reuben kod joka Gad! Uonge kod pok moro kuom Jehova Nyasaye.’ Omiyo nyikwau nyalo miyo nyikwawa weyo luoro Jehova Nyasaye.
26 We said, therefore, Let us prepare, we pray you, to build us an altar, —not for ascending-offering, nor for sacrifice;
“Mano emomiyo nwawacho ni, ‘Waikreuru kendo wager kendo mar misango, to ok mar misango miwangʼo pep, kata ni sewni mamoko.’
27 but that, a witness, it may be between us and you, and between our generations after us, that we are to do the service of Yahweh, before him, with our ascending-offerings and with our sacrifices, and with our peace-offerings, —that your sons may not say, in time to come, to our sons, Ye have no portion in Yahweh.
To kata kamano, ma onego obed ranyisi e kindwa kodu to gi tiengʼ mabiro bangʼwa, ni wabiro lamo Jehova Nyasaye e kare maler mar lemo ka wachiwone misango miwangʼo pep, misengini mamoko kod misango mar lalruok. Bangʼe ndalo mabiro nyikwau ok nowach ne nyikwawa ni, ‘Uonge gi pok kuom Jehova Nyasaye.’
28 Therefore said we, And it shall be, when they [so] say to us, or to our generations, in time to come, —that we will say—Behold ye the pattern of the altar of Yahweh, which our fathers made, not for ascending-offerings nor for sacrifice, but that, a witness, it might be between us and you.
“To ne wawacho niya, ‘Ka dipo ni giwachonwa ma, kata ne nyikwawa to wabiro dwoko kama: Neuru kendo mar misango mar Jehova Nyasaye, mane kwerewa ogero, mondo obed kaka ranyisi e kindwa kodu, to ok ni chiwo misango miwangʼo pep.’
29 Far be it from us—that we should rebel against Yahweh, or turn back, to-day, from following Yahweh, by building an altar, for ascending-offering, or meal-offering or for sacrifice, —other than the altar of Yahweh our God, which is before his habitation.
“Mad wabed mabor gi ngʼanyone Jehova Nyasaye, mi walokre waa kuome kawuono ka wagero kendo mar misango miwangʼo pep, chiwo mar cham kod misengini mamoko moloyo kendo mar misango mar Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachwa mochungʼ e nyim kare maler.”
30 And, when Phinehas the priest, and the princes of the assembly, even the heads of the thousands of Israel who were with him, heard the words which the sons of Reuben and the sons of Gad and the sons of Manasseh spake, then was it well-pleasing in their eyes.
Kane Finehas jadolo kod jotend gwengʼ, ma gin jotend anywola mar jo-Israel, nowinjo gima Reuben, Gad kod Manase nowacho, negibedo gi mor.
31 And Phinehas son of Eleazar the priest said unto the sons of Reuben and unto the sons of Gad and unto the sons of Manasseh—To-day, we know that, in our midst, is Yahweh, in that ye have not committed, against Yahweh, this act of treachery, —now, have ye rescued the sons of Israel out of the hand of Yahweh.
Kendo Finehas wuod Eliazar ma jadolo, nowachone Reuben, Gad kod Manase niya, “Kawuono wangʼeyo ni Jehova Nyasaye nikodwa, nikech ok usetimo gima Jehova Nyasaye okwero. Kuom mano usereso jo-Israel kuom kum mar Jehova Nyasaye.”
32 So Phinehas son of Eleazar the priest and the princes returned from the sons of Reuben and from the sons of Gad, out of the land of Gilead, unto the land of Canaan, unto the sons of Israel, —and brought them back word.
Bangʼe Finehas wuod Eliazar ma jadolo, kod jotelo noduogo Kanaan koa e romogi gi jo-Reuben kod jo-Gad mane nitiere Gilead kendo ne gidwokone jo-Israel wach.
33 And the thing was well-pleasing in the eyes of the sons of Israel, and the sons of Israel blessed God, —and spake not of going up against them, to war, to lay waste the land, wherein the sons of Reuben and the sons of Gad dwelt.
Negimor kuom winjo wachni kendo negipako Nyasaye. Ne ok gichako giwuoyo kendo kuom dhi kedo kodgi mondo giketh piny ma dhood Reuben kod Gad odakie.
34 So the sons of Reuben and the sons of Gad named the altar [a Witness]: A witness, it is between us, That, Yahweh, is God.
Dhood Reuben kod Gad nomiyo kendo mar misangono nying machalo kama: Ranyisi e Kindwa ni Jehova Nyasaye en Nyasaye.
