< Joshua 6 >

1 Now Jericho was tightly shut up because of the children of Israel. No one went out, and no one came in.
Koro Jeriko nolor motegno nikech jo-Israel kendo onge ngʼama ne nyalo wuok oko kata donjo iye.
2 Yahweh said to Joshua, “Behold, I have given Jericho into your hand, with its king and the mighty men of valor.
Bangʼe Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ni Joshua niya, “Ne, asechiwo Jeriko gi ruodhe e lweti, kaachiel gi jolweny mage.
3 All of your men of war shall march around the city, going around the city once. You shall do this six days.
Lworuru dala maduongʼno dichiel ka un gi giu mag lweny kendo timuru ma kuom ndalo auchiel.
4 Seven priests shall bear seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the ark. On the seventh day, you shall march around the city seven times, and the priests shall blow the trumpets.
Beduru gi jodolo abiriyo motingʼo turumbete molos gi tunge imbe e nyim Sandug Muma. E odiechiengʼ mar abiriyo, lworuru dala maduongʼno nyadibiriyo, ka jodolo goyo turumbetego.
5 It shall be that when they make a long blast with the ram’s horn, and when you hear the sound of the trumpet, all the people shall shout with a great shout; then the city wall will fall down flat, and the people shall go up, every man straight in front of him.”
Ka uwinjogi ka gigoyo turumbetegi matek, to ket ji duto ogo koko matek; bangʼe ohinga mar Jeriko nopodh piny kendo ji duto nodonj e iye.”
6 Joshua the son of Nun called the priests, and said to them, “Take up the ark of the covenant, and let seven priests bear seven trumpets of rams’ horns before Yahweh’s ark.”
Omiyo Joshua wuod Nun noluongo jodolo mowachonegi niya, “Tingʼuru Sandug Muma mar singruok mar Jehova Nyasaye kendo beduru gi jodolo abiriyo kotingʼo turumbete e nyime.”
7 They said to the people, “Advance! March around the city, and let the armed men pass on before Yahweh’s ark.”
Eka nochiwo chik ne ji niya, “Dhiuru nyime! Lworuru dala maduongʼ, ka jolweny momanore gi gige lweny otelo e nyim Sandug Muma mar singruok mar Jehova Nyasaye.”
8 It was so, that when Joshua had spoken to the people, the seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams’ horns before Yahweh advanced and blew the trumpets, and the ark of Yahweh’s covenant followed them.
Kane Joshua osewuoyo gi ji, jodolo abiriyo mane otingʼo turumbete abiriyo e nyim Jehova Nyasaye nowuotho ka gigoyo turumbete, kendo Sandug Muma mar Singruok mar Jehova Nyasaye ne luwo bangʼ-gi.
9 The armed men went before the priests who blew the trumpets, and the ark went after them. The trumpets sounded as they went.
Jolwenygo notelo e nyim jodolo mane goyo turumbete, to moko ne luwo bangʼ Sandug Muma, kendo e kindeno duto turumbete ne ywak.
10 Joshua commanded the people, saying, “You shall not shout nor let your voice be heard, neither shall any word proceed out of your mouth until the day I tell you to shout. Then you shall shout.”
Makmana Joshua nosiemo ji niya, “Kik uywag ywak mar lweny, kik utingʼ dwondu malo, bende kik uwach wach moro amora nyaka odiechiengʼ ma anakonue mondo ugo koko. Bangʼe eka unukogi!”
11 So he caused Yahweh’s ark to go around the city, circling it once. Then they came into the camp, and stayed in the camp.
Omiyo negikawo Sandug Muma mar Jehova Nyasaye ka gilworogo dala maduongʼno dichiel. Bangʼe ji noduogo e kambi margi mi otienono ginindo kanyo.
12 Joshua rose early in the morning, and the priests took up Yahweh’s ark.
Joshua nochiewo gokinyi mangʼich kinyne kendo jodolo nokawo Sandug Muma mar Jehova Nyasaye.
13 The seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams’ horns in front of Yahweh’s ark went on continually, and blew the trumpets. The armed men went in front of them. The rear guard came after Yahweh’s ark. The trumpets sounded as they went.
Jodolo abiriyo mane otingʼo turumbete abiriyo nodhi nyime, ka gipangore e nyim Sandug Muma mar Jehova Nyasaye kendo ka gigoyo turumbete. Ji momanore gi gige lweny notelo e nyimgi, to moko ne luwo bangʼ Sandug Muma mar Jehova Nyasaye ka turumbete dhi nyime gi ywak.
14 The second day they marched around the city once, and returned into the camp. They did this six days.
E odiechiengʼ mar ariyo negilworo dala maduongʼno dichiel bangʼe gidok e kambi kendo negitimo kamano kuom ndalo auchiel.
15 On the seventh day, they rose early at the dawning of the day, and marched around the city in the same way seven times. On this day only they marched around the city seven times.
To chiengʼ mar abiriyo, ne gichiewo kogwen mi gilworo dala maduongʼno nyadibiriyo e yo machalre gi mamoko ka. Chiengʼno kende ema negilworo dala maduongʼno nyadibiriyo.
16 At the seventh time, when the priests blew the trumpets, Joshua said to the people, “Shout, for Yahweh has given you the city!
E sa mane gilwore mar abiriyo ka jodolo ne pod goyo turumbete matek, Joshua nochiko ji kawacho niya, “Koguru matek, nimar Jehova Nyasaye osemiyou dala maduongʼni!
17 The city shall be devoted, even it and all that is in it, to Yahweh. Only Rahab the prostitute shall live, she and all who are with her in the house, because she hid the messengers that we sent.
Dala maduongʼni duto, to gi gik moko duto manie iye nyaka wene Jehova Nyasaye. Makmana Rahab, mochot, to gi jogo duto manie ode ema nongʼwon-ne, nikech nopando joma ne waoro mane obiro nono piny.
18 But as for you, only keep yourselves from what is devoted to destruction, lest when you have devoted it, you take of the devoted thing; so you would make the camp of Israel accursed and trouble it.
To beduru mabor gi gigo mowene Jehova Nyasaye, mondo kik ukel kethruok ne un uwuon kuom gimoro amora kuomgi. Ka ok kamano to unumi kambi mar jo-Israel bed mar kethruok kendo ukel chandruok kuome.
19 But all the silver, gold, and vessels of bronze and iron are holy to Yahweh. They shall come into Yahweh’s treasury.”
Fedha gi dhahabu duto, kod gigo molos gi mula kod molos gi nyinyo owal ni Jehova Nyasaye kendo nyaka tergi kar keno mare.”
20 So the people shouted and the priests blew the trumpets. When the people heard the sound of the trumpet, the people shouted with a great shout, and the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man straight in front of him, and they took the city.
Kane ogo turumbete, to ji ne goyo koko matek, kendo ka turumbete noywak, mi ji nogoyo koko matek, to ohinga mar Jeriko nopodho, omiyo ngʼato ka ngʼato nodonjo e dala maduongʼno mi gikawe.
21 They utterly destroyed all that was in the city, both man and woman, both young and old, and ox, sheep, and donkey, with the edge of the sword.
Negiwalo dala maduongʼno ni Jehova Nyasaye ma giketho gimoro amora kendo ginego gi ligangla ngʼato angʼata madichwo kata madhako, jomatindo kata joma oti, dhok gi rombe kod punde.
22 Joshua said to the two men who had spied out the land, “Go into the prostitute’s house, and bring the woman and all that she has out from there, as you swore to her.”
Joshua nowachone jonon piny ariyogo niya, “Dhiuru e od Rahab kendo ukele kaachiel gi joodgi duto, kaluwore gi singruok mane uketo kode.”
23 The young men who were spies went in, and brought out Rahab with her father, her mother, her brothers, and all that she had. They also brought out all of her relatives, and they set them outside of the camp of Israel.
Omiyo rawere mane odhi nono pinyno nodhi Jeriko e od Rahab mi ogole kaachiel gi wuon-gi, min-gi, owetene kod joodgi duto. Negigolo anywolane duto oko mi giketogi oko mar kambi jo-Israel.
24 They burned the city with fire, and all that was in it. Only they put the silver, the gold, and the vessels of bronze and of iron into the treasury of Yahweh’s house.
Bangʼe ne giwangʼo dala maduongʼno duto, to gi gimoro amora manie iye, makmana fedha gi dhahabu, gi gik molos gi mula kod molos gi nyinyo noketi e kar keno mar od Jehova Nyasaye.
25 But Rahab the prostitute, her father’s household, and all that she had, Joshua saved alive. She lives in the middle of Israel to this day, because she hid the messengers whom Joshua sent to spy out Jericho.
Kamano Joshua noreso Rahab, dhako ma ochot, kaachiel gi anywolane nikech en ema nopando jonon piny mane Joshua ooro Jeriko kendo Rahab nodak e dier jo-Israel nyaka chil kawuono.
26 Joshua commanded them with an oath at that time, saying, “Cursed is the man before Yahweh who rises up and builds this city Jericho. With the loss of his firstborn he will lay its foundation, and with the loss of his youngest son he will set up its gates.”
E sechego Joshua nolando kwongʼ makende niya, “Kwongʼ mar Jehova Nyasaye nobed kuom ngʼat manitem gero dala maduongʼ mar Jeriko kendo kama: “Koketo mise mare, to wuode makayo notho, to kochungo dhorangeyege; to wuode mogik notho.”
27 So Yahweh was with Joshua; and his fame was in all the land.
Omiyo Jehova Nyasaye ne nigi Joshua kendo humbe nolandore e pinyno duto.
