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.
The angel of Yahweh went up from Gilgal to Bokim, and said, “I brought you up from Egypt, and have brought you to the land I swore to give to your fathers. I said, 'I will never break my covenant with you.
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!
You must make no covenant with those who live in this land. You must tear down their altars.' But you have not listened to my voice. What is this that you have done?
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.”
So now I say, 'I will not drive the Canaanites out before you, but they will become thorns in your sides, and their gods will become a trap for you.'”
4 Ke lipufan sac fahk ma inge tari, mwet Israel nukewa elos mutawauk in wowoyak.
When the angel of Yahweh spoke these words to all the people of Israel, the people shouted and wept.
5 Ke sripa se inge elos sang inen acn sac Bochim. ac elos orek kisa nu sin LEUM GOD we.
They called that place Bokim. There they offered sacrifices to Yahweh.
6 Joshua el sap mwet Israel in folokla, na kais sie selos som okaki in acn se itukyang tuh in ma lal.
Now when Joshua had sent the people on their way, the people of Israel each went to the place assigned, to take ownership of their land.
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.
The people served Yahweh during the lifetime of Joshua and of the elders who outlived him, those who had seen all of Yahweh's great deeds he had done for Israel.
8 Joshua, mwet kulansap lun LEUM GOD, su wen natul Nun, el misa ke el yac siofok singoul.
Joshua son of Nun the servant of Yahweh, died at the age of 110 years old.
9 El pukpuki in acn sel sifacna su pangpang Timnath Serah, su oan yen tohktok in acn Ephraim, epang in Fineol Gaash.
They buried him within the border of the land he was assigned in Timnath Heres, in the hill country of Ephraim, north 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.
All that generation was also gathered to their fathers. Another generation grew up after them who did not know Yahweh or what he had done for Israel.
11 Mwet Israel elos orekma koluk ye mutun LEUM GOD ac elos mutawauk in kulansupu god pukanten pangpang Baal.
The people of Israel did what was evil in the sight of Yahweh 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.
They broke away from Yahweh, the God of their fathers, who had brought them out of the land of Egypt. They went after other gods, the very gods of the peoples who were around them, and they bowed down to them. They provoked Yahweh to anger because
13 Elos forla liki LEUM GOD, ac orekma nu sin Baal ac Astarte.
they broke away from Yahweh and worshiped Baal and the Ashtoreths.
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.
The anger of Yahweh burned against Israel, and he gave them to the raiders who stole their possessions from them. He sold them as slaves who were held by the strength of their enemies around them, so they could no longer defend themselves against their enemies.
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.
Wherever Israel went out to fight, Yahweh's hand was against them to defeat them, just as he had sworn to them and they were in terrible distress.
16 Na LEUM GOD El pakiya mwet nununku in molela mwet Israel liki mwet lokoalok lalos.
Then Yahweh raised up judges, who saved them out of the hand of those who were stealing their possessions.
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.
Yet they would not listen to their judges. They were unfaithful to Yahweh and gave themselves like prostitutes to other gods and worshiped them. They soon turned aside from the way their fathers had lived—those who had obeyed the commandments of Yahweh—but they themselves did not do so.
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.
When Yahweh raised up judges for them, Yahweh helped the judges and rescued them from the hand of their enemies all the days the judge lived. Yahweh had pity on them as they groaned because of those who oppressed them and afflicted them.
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 when the judge died, they would turn away and do things that were even more corrupt than their fathers had done. They would go after other gods to serve them and worship them. They refused to give up any of their evil practices or their stubborn ways.
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,
The anger of Yahweh burned against Israel; he said, “Because this nation has broken the terms of my covenant that I had set in place for their fathers—because they have not listened 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.
I will not, from now on, drive out from before them any of the nations that Joshua left 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.”
I will do this so that I may test Israel, whether or not they will keep the way of Yahweh and walk in it, 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.
That is why Yahweh left those nations and did not drive them out quickly and give them into the hand of Joshua.
