Mwet Nununku 2
1 Sie lipufan lun LEUM GOD som Gilgal lac nu Bochim ac fahk nu sin mwet Israel, “Nga uskowosme liki facl Egypt nu in sie facl su nga tuh wulela nu sin mwet matu lowos ah. Nga tuh fahk mu nga fah tiana kunausla wulela luk nu suwos.
And an Angel of the Lord went up from Gilgal to the Place of Weeping, and he said: “I led you away from Egypt, and I led you into the land, about which I swore to your fathers. And I promised that I would not nullify my covenant with you, even forever:
2 Kowos in tia oru kutena wulela yurin mwet su muta in acn se inge. Kowos enenu in lipikya loang lalos. Tuh pa kowos tiana oru ma nga fahk nu suwos, a kowos oru siena!
but only if you would not form a pact with the inhabitants of this land. Instead, you should overturn their altars. Yet you were not willing to listen to my voice. Why have you done this?
3 Inge nga fahk nu suwos, nga fah tia lusla mwet inge liki acn se inge ke kowos utyak in eis acn selos. Elos ac fah mwet lokoalok lowos, ac alu lowos nu sin god lalos uh ac fah mwe tukulkul nu suwos.”
For this reason, I am not willing to destroy them before your face, so that you may have enemies, and so that their gods may be your ruin.”
4 Ke lipufan sac fahk ma inge tari, mwet Israel nukewa elos mutawauk in wowoyak.
And when the Angel of the Lord spoke these words to all the sons of Israel, they lifted up their voice, and they wept.
5 Ke sripa se inge elos sang inen acn sac Bochim. ac elos orek kisa nu sin LEUM GOD we.
And the name of that place was called, the Place of Weeping, or the Place of Tears. And they immolated victims to the Lord in that place.
6 Joshua el sap mwet Israel in folokla, na kais sie selos som okaki in acn se itukyang tuh in ma lal.
Then Joshua dismissed the people, and the sons of Israel went away, each one to his own possession, so that they might obtain it.
7 Mwet Israel nukewa elos orekma nu sin LEUM GOD ke lusen moul lal Joshua, na tukun el misa ah, elos srakna orekma nu sin LEUM GOD ke mwet kol tokol Joshua elos srakna moul, su tuh sifacna liye orekma yohk lun LEUM GOD nu sin mwet Israel ke mutalos.
And they served the Lord, during all his days, and during all the days of the elders, who lived for a long time after him, and who knew all the works of the Lord, which he had done for Israel.
8 Joshua, mwet kulansap lun LEUM GOD, su wen natul Nun, el misa ke el yac siofok singoul.
Then Joshua, the son of Nun, the servant of the Lord, died, being one hundred and ten years old.
9 El pukpuki in acn sel sifacna su pangpang Timnath Serah, su oan yen tohktok in acn Ephraim, epang in Fineol Gaash.
And they buried him in the parts of his possession at Timnath-Serah, on Mount Ephraim, before the northern side of Mount Gaash.
10 Ke mwet nukewa in fwil sac misa, na fwil se tokolos elos mulkunla LEUM GOD ac ma nukewa El tuh oru nu sin mwet Israel.
And that entire generation was gathered to their fathers. And there rose up others, who had not known the Lord and the works that he had done for Israel.
11 Mwet Israel elos orekma koluk ye mutun LEUM GOD ac elos mutawauk in kulansupu god pukanten pangpang Baal.
And the sons of Israel did evil in the sight of the Lord, and they served the Baals.
12 Elos tia sifil alu nu sin LEUM GOD lun mwet matu lalos, su tuh usalosme liki facl Egypt, a elos mutawauk in alu nu sin god saya, god lun mwet Canaan su muta inmasrlolos. Elos epasr nu sin god inge, ac aktoasrye LEUM GOD.
And they abandoned the Lord, the God of their fathers, who had led them away from the land of Egypt. And they followed foreign gods and the gods of the peoples who were living around them, and they adored them. And they provoked the Lord to wrath,
13 Elos forla liki LEUM GOD, ac orekma nu sin Baal ac Astarte.
forsaking him, and serving Baal and Ashtaroth.
14 Na LEUM GOD El arulana mulat sin mwet Israel, ac El lela tuh mwet lokoalok lalos in tuku pisre ma lalos. El fuhlela tuh mwet lokoalok su raunelosla in ku lukelos, ac mwet Israel elos koflana lainulos.
And the Lord, having become angry against Israel, delivered them into the hands of plunderers, who seized them and sold them to the enemies that were living on all sides. Neither were they able to withstand their adversaries.
15 Pacl nukewa mwet Israel uh fin som in mweun, LEUM GOD El ac tia welulos, a El ac lainulos in oana ke El tuh fahk nu selos ah. Inge mwet Israel elos muta in ongoiya lulap.
Instead, wherever they wanted to go, the hand of the Lord was upon them, just as he said and just as he swore to them. And they were greatly afflicted.
16 Na LEUM GOD El pakiya mwet nununku in molela mwet Israel liki mwet lokoalok lalos.
And the Lord raised up judges, who would free them from the hands of their oppressors. But they were not willing to listen to them.
17 Tusruktu, mwet Israel elos tiana porongo mwet kol lalos inge. Elos pilesru LEUM GOD ac alu nu sin god saya. Mwet matu lalos ah tuh akos ma sap lun LEUM GOD, tusruktu fwil sasu se inge, elos tiana.
Fornicating with foreign gods and adoring them, they quickly deserted the way along which their fathers had advanced. And having heard the commandments of the Lord, they did all things to the contrary.
18 Pacl nukewa ma LEUM GOD El ac srukak sie mwet nununku in kol mwet Israel, El ac kasrel ac molela mwet Israel liki mwet lokoalok lalos ke lusenna moul lun mwet nununku sac. LEUM GOD El pakomuta mwet Israel ke sripen sasao lalos ke keok ac ongoiya nu selos.
And while the Lord was raising up the judges, in their days, he was moved to mercy, and he listened to the groaning of the afflicted, and he freed them from the slaughter of their oppressors.
19 Tusruktu ke pacl se ma mwet nununku se inge ac misa uh, na mwet inge ac sifilpa folokla nu ke moul matu lalos uh, ac orekma koluk yohk liki na mwet matu lalos ah. Elos ac kulansupu ac alu nu sin god saya, ac likkekelana in oru ouiya koluk lalos.
But after a judge had died, they turned back, and they were doing much worse things than their fathers had done, following strange gods, serving them, and adoring them. They did not abandon their pursuits and their very stubborn way, by which they were accustomed to walk.
20 Na LEUM GOD El ac arulana kasrkusrak sin mwet Israel ac fahk, “Mutunfacl se inge elos kunausla wulela se su nga tuh sapkin nu sin mwet matu lalos elos in karingin ah. Ke sripen elos tia akosyu,
And the fury of the Lord was enraged against Israel, and he said: “For this people has made void my covenant, which I had formed with their fathers, and they have despised listening to my voice.
21 nga ac fah tia lusla mutunfacl su tuh muta in acn se inge oe in pacl se ma Joshua el misa ah me.
And so, I will not destroy the nations that Joshua left behind when he died,
22 Nga ac fah orekmakin mutunfacl saya inge in srike mwet Israel lah elos ac fahsr tukuk in oana mwet matu lalos ah, ku tia.”
so that, by them, I may test Israel, as to whether or not they will keep the way of the Lord, and walk in it, just as their fathers kept it.”
23 Ouinge LEUM GOD El lela tuh mutunfacl inge in mutana acn elos muta we. El tuh tia sang kutangla nu sel Joshua fin mwet inge, oayapa El tia sa in luselosla tukun Joshua el misa ah.
Therefore, the Lord left all these nations, and he was not willing to quickly overthrow them, nor did he deliver them into the hands of Joshua.
