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.
Yahweh’s angel came up from Gilgal to Bochim. He said, “I brought you out of Egypt, and have brought you to the land which I swore to give 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 shall make no covenant with the inhabitants of this land. You shall break down their altars.’ But you have not listened 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.”
Therefore I also said, ‘I will not drive them out from before you; but they shall be in your sides, and their gods will be a snare to you.’”
4 Ke lipufan sac fahk ma inge tari, mwet Israel nukewa elos mutawauk in wowoyak.
When Yahweh’s angel spoke these words to all the children of Israel, the people lifted up their voice and wept.
5 Ke sripa se inge elos sang inen acn sac Bochim. ac elos orek kisa nu sin LEUM GOD we.
They called the name of that place Bochim, and they sacrificed there 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 away, the children of Israel each went to his inheritance to possess the 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 all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders who outlived Joshua, who had seen all the great work of Yahweh that he had worked for Israel.
8 Joshua, mwet kulansap lun LEUM GOD, su wen natul Nun, el misa ke el yac siofok singoul.
Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of Yahweh, died, being one hundred 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.
They buried him in the border of his inheritance in Timnath Heres, in the hill country of Ephraim, on the north of the mountain of 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.
After all that generation were gathered to their fathers, another generation arose after them who didn’t know Yahweh, nor the work which 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 children of Israel did that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight, and 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 abandoned Yahweh, the God of their fathers, who brought them out of the land of Egypt, and followed other gods, of the gods of the peoples who were around them, and bowed themselves down to them; and they provoked Yahweh to anger.
13 Elos forla liki LEUM GOD, ac orekma nu sin Baal ac Astarte.
They abandoned Yahweh, and served Baal and the 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.
Yahweh’s anger burned against Israel, and he delivered them into the hands of raiders who plundered them. He sold them into the hands of their enemies all around, so that they could no longer stand before 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 they went out, Yahweh’s hand was against them for evil, as Yahweh had spoken, and as Yahweh had sworn to them; and they were very distressed.
16 Na LEUM GOD El pakiya mwet nununku in molela mwet Israel liki mwet lokoalok lalos.
Yahweh raised up judges, who saved them out of the hand of those who plundered 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.
Yet they didn’t listen to their judges; for they prostituted themselves to other gods, and bowed themselves down to them. They quickly turned away from the way in which their fathers walked, obeying Yahweh’s commandments. They didn’t 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, then Yahweh was with the judge, and saved them out of the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge; for it grieved Yahweh because of their groaning by reason of those who oppressed them and troubled 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 was dead, they turned back, and dealt more corruptly than their fathers in following other gods to serve them and to bow down to them. They didn’t cease what they were doing, or give up 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,
Yahweh’s anger burned against Israel; and he said, “Because this nation transgressed my covenant which I commanded their fathers, and has 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 also will no longer drive out any of the nations that Joshua left when he died from before them;
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.”
that by them I may test Israel, to see if they will keep Yahweh’s way to walk therein, as their fathers kept it, or not.”
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.
So Yahweh left those nations, without driving them out hastily. He didn’t deliver them into Joshua’s hand.
