Joshua 9
1 And it cometh to pass, when all the kings who [are] beyond the Jordan, in the hill-country, and in the low-country, and in every haven of the great sea, over-against Lebanon, the Hittite, and the Amorite, the Canaanite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite, hear —
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 gather themselves together to fight with Joshua, and with Israel — one mouth.
ruodhigo noriwore giduto mondo giked gi Joshua kod jo-Israel.
3 And the inhabitants of Gibeon have heard that which Joshua hath done to Jericho and to Ai,
Kata kamano, kane jo-Gibeon owinjo gima Joshua notimone Jeriko kod Ai,
4 and they work, even they, with subtilty, and go, and feign to be ambassadors, and take 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 sandals, old and patched, on their feet, and old garments upon them, and all the bread of their provision is dry — it was crumbs.
Jogi norwako wuoch moyiech kod lewni moti. Makati mane gin-go duto nokethore.
6 And they go unto Joshua, unto the camp at Gilgal, and say unto him, and unto the men of Israel, 'From a land far off we have come, and now, make with us a covenant;'
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 say unto the Hivite, 'It may be in our midst ye are dwelling, and how do we make with thee a covenant?'
Jo-Israel nowacho ni jo-Hivi niya, “To ka dipo ni udak kodwa machiegni, ere kaka dwa los kodu winjruok?”
8 and they say unto Joshua, 'Thy servants we [are].' And Joshua saith 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 say unto him, 'From a land very far off have thy servants come, for the name of Jehovah 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 Amorite who [are] beyond the Jordan, to Sihon king of Heshbon, and to Og king of Bashan, who [is] in 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 'And our elders, and all the inhabitants of our land speak unto us, saying, Take in your hand provision for the way, and go to meet them, and ye have said unto them, Your servants we [are], and now, make 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 — hot we provided ourselves with it out of our houses, on the day of our coming out to go unto you, and now, lo, it is dry, and hath been crumbs;
Neuru makati mwatingʼogi, ne giliet ka wachako wuoth, to koro sani gikethore.
13 and these [are] the wine-bottles which we filled, new, and lo, they have rent; and these, our garments and our sandals, have become old, from the exceeding greatness of the way.'
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 take of their provision, and the mouth of Jehovah have not asked;
Jotelo moko mag jo-Israel nobilo chiemb jogo ka ok gipenjo Jehova Nyasaye wach.
15 and Joshua maketh with them peace, and maketh with them a covenant, to keep them alive; and swear to them do the princes of the company.
Omiyo Joshua noketo winjruok mar kwe kodgi mondo oyienegi gidag kodgi, kendo jotelo ne opwodho ma ka gikwongʼore.
16 And it cometh to pass, at the end of three days after that they have made with them a covenant, that they hear that they [are] their neighbours — that in their midst they are dwelling.
Ndalo adek bangʼ kane giseloso winjruok gi jo-Gibeon, jo-Israel nowinjo ni jogo gin mana joma odak kodgi machiegni.
17 And the sons of Israel journey and come in unto their cities on the third day — and their cities [are] Gibeon, and Chephirah, and Beeroth, and Kirjath-Jearim —
Omiyo jo-Israel nowuok, to odiechiengʼ mar adek negichopo e miechgi madongo kaka: Gibeon, Kefira, Beeroth, kod Kiriath Jearim.
18 and the sons of Israel have not smitten them, for sworn to them have the princes of the company by Jehovah God of Israel, and all the company murmur 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 say unto all the company, 'We — we have sworn to them by Jehovah, God of Israel; and now, we are not able to come against them;
to jotelogo duto nowacho niya, “Wasemiyogi singruok marwa e nying Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasach Israel, omiyo koro ok wanyal mulogi.
20 this we do to them, and have kept them alive, and wrath is not upon us, because of the oath which we have sworn to them.'
Ma e gima wabiro timonegi: ‘Wabiro wegi gidagi mondo kik mirima bi kuomwa nikech waketho kwongʼruok mane wasingonegi.’”
21 And the princes say unto them, 'They live, and are hewers of wood and drawers of water for all the company, as the princes spake to 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 calleth for them, and speaketh unto them, saying, 'Why have ye deceived us, saying, We are very far from you, and ye in our midst dwelling?
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, cursed are ye, and none of you is cut off [from being] a servant, even 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 answer Joshua and say, 'Because it was certainly declared to thy servants, that Jehovah thy God commanded Moses His servant to give to you all the land, and to destroy all the inhabitants of the land from before you; and we fear greatly for ourselves because of you, and we do 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, lo, we [are] in thy hand, as [it is] good, and as [it is] right in thine eyes to do to us — do.'
Koro to wan e lweti. Timnwauru gimoro amora muneno ni ber kendo longʼonu.”
26 And he doth to them so, and delivereth them from the hand of the sons of Israel, and they have not slain them;
Omiyo Joshua nokonyogi kuom jo-Israel ma ok ginegogi.
27 and Joshua maketh them on that day hewers of wood and drawers of water for the company, and for the altar of Jehovah, unto this day, at the place which He doth 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.
