1And an angel of the LORD came up from Gilgal to Bochim, and said, I made you to go up out of Egypt, and have brought you unto the land which I sware unto your fathers; and I said, I will never break my covenant with you.
1 Rabbi malayka* mo tun Jilgal ka kaa Bokim. A ne: «Ay no k'araŋ fattandi araŋ ma fun Misira laabo ra. Ay kande araŋ mo laabo kaŋ ay ze d'a araŋ kaayey se din ra, kaŋ ay ne ay s'ay alkawlo tunandi in d'araŋ game ra, abada.
2And ye shall make no league with the inhabitants of this land; ye shall throw down their altars: but ye have not obeyed my voice: why have ye done this?
2 Araŋ mo ma si sappe da laabo wo gorokoy, araŋ m'i sargay feemey bagu-bagu. Amma araŋ mana hanga jeeri ay sanno se. Ifo no wo kaŋ araŋ te?
3Wherefore I also said, I will not drive them out from before you; but they shall be as thorns in your sides, and their gods shall be a snare unto you.
3 Woodin se no ay mo ne: ‹Ay si i gaaray araŋ jine, amma i ga ciya danga karji araŋ carrawey gaa. I toorey mo ga hima araŋ se hirrimiyaŋ.› »
4And it came to pass, when the angel of the LORD spake these words unto all the children of Israel, that the people lifted up their voice, and wept.
4 A ciya no, waato kaŋ Rabbi malayka na sanney din ci Israyla izey jama kulu se, kala jama na ngey jinde sambu ka hẽ.
5And they called the name of that place Bochim: and they sacrificed there unto the LORD.
5 I na nango din maa daŋ Bokim (kaŋ a feerijo ga ti Hẽeni). Noodin mo i na sargay te Rabbi se.
6And when Joshua had let the people go, the children of Israel went every man unto his inheritance to possess the land.
6 A ciya no, waato kaŋ cine Yasuwa na jama sallama, Israyla izey afo kulu koy nga tubo do, zama nga ma laabo ta.
7And the people served the LORD all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders that outlived Joshua, who had seen all the great works of the LORD, that he did for Israel.
7 Jama may mo Rabbi se Yasuwa baafuna jirbey kulu ra, da dottijey kaŋ yaŋ cindi Yasuwa jihaado banda jirbey ra, borey kaŋ yaŋ di goy bambatey kaŋ yaŋ Rabbi te Israyla se.
8And Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of the LORD, died, being an hundred and ten years old.
8 Yasuwa, Nun izo, Rabbi tamo, a binde kaa ka bu; a jiirey jiiri zangu nda iway no.
9And they buried him in the border of his inheritance in Timnathheres, in the mount of Ephraim, on the north side of the hill Gaash.
9 I na Yasuwa fiji nga bumbo tubo hirro boŋ, Timnat-Sera ra, Ifraymu tondey laabo ra, Gaas tondo azawa kamba.
10And also all that generation were gathered unto their fathers: and there arose another generation after them, which knew not the LORD, nor yet the works which he had done for Israel.
10 I na jihaadi woodin izey kulu margu ngey kaayey do. Kala zamana fo boroyaŋ, kaŋ tun i banda, ngey wo si Rabbi bay, i si goy kaŋ a te Israyla se mo bay.
11And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD, and served Baalim:
11 Israyla izey binde na goy laalo te Rabbi diyaŋ gaa, hal i may Baalyaŋ se.
12And they forsook the LORD God of their fathers, which brought them out of the land of Egypt, and followed other gods, of the gods of the people that were round about them, and bowed themselves unto them, and provoked the LORD to anger.
12 I fay da Rabbi ngey kaayey Irikoyo ganayaŋ -- Irikoyo kaŋ n'i kaa Misira laabo ra. I na tooru fooyaŋ gana, dumi cindey toorey kaŋ yaŋ go i windanta ra, i sumbal i se mo. I na Rabbi futa tunandi mo.
13And they forsook the LORD, and served Baal and Ashtaroth.
13 I fay da Rabbi ganayaŋ ka soobay ka may Baal* da Astarot se.
14And the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel, and he delivered them into the hands of spoilers that spoiled them, and he sold them into the hands of their enemies round about, so that they could not any longer stand before their enemies.
14 Rabbi futa mo koroŋ Israyla boŋ. Nga mo n'i daŋ kuukoyaŋ kambe ra, kaŋ yaŋ na Israyla ku ka dira nd'a. Rabbi n'i neera mo ngey ibarey kaŋ go g'i windi din se, kal a to naŋ kaŋ Israyla sinda hina kaŋ ga tonton ka kay nga ibarey jine.
15Whithersoever they went out, the hand of the LORD was against them for evil, as the LORD had said, and as the LORD had sworn unto them: and they were greatly distressed.
15 Naŋ kaŋ i ga fatta kulu, Rabbi kamba goono ga gaaba nd'ey, ngey masiibey se, sanda mate kaŋ Rabbi ci da sanda mate kaŋ Rabbi ze d'a i se mo. I na taabi haŋ gumo.
16Nevertheless the LORD raised up judges, which delivered them out of the hand of those that spoiled them.
16 Kala Rabbi na jine boroyaŋ tunandi i se, kaŋ n'i faaba ngey kuukoy kambe ra.
17And yet they would not hearken unto their judges, but they went a whoring after other gods, and bowed themselves unto them: they turned quickly out of the way which their fathers walked in, obeying the commandments of the LORD; but they did not so.
17 Kulu nda yaadin, i mana hangan ngey jine borey se, amma kaaruwataray* ra i na de-koy* fooyaŋ gana ka sumbal toorey din se. I na Rabbi fonda taŋ da waasi, wo kaŋ i kaayey gana, ngey kaŋ yaŋ na Rabbi lordey gana. Amma manti yaadin no i izey te.
18And when the LORD raised them up judges, then the LORD was with the judge, and delivered them out of the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge: for it repented the LORD because of their groanings by reason of them that oppressed them and vexed them.
18 Saaya kaŋ cine Rabbi na jine boro tunandi i se, waato din Rabbi go jine bora din banda. Rabbi n'i faaba mo ngey ibarey kambe ra jine bora din jirbey kulu ra. Zama Rabbi na nga miila barmay i durayyaŋey sabbay se, i kankamandiyaŋ d'i kaynandikoy kambe ra.
19And it came to pass, when the judge was dead, that they returned, and corrupted themselves more than their fathers, in following other gods to serve them, and to bow down unto them; they ceased not from their own doings, nor from their stubborn way.
19 Amma a ciya, da jine bora din bu, i ga bare ka fanta goyyaŋ te kaŋ bisa i kaayey waney cine. I ga tooru fooyaŋ gana zama ngey ma may i se, ngey ma sumbal i se mo. I mana ngey goyey da ngey boŋ sanday daa mo naŋ.
20And the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel; and he said, Because that this people hath transgressed my covenant which I commanded their fathers, and have not hearkened unto my voice;
20 Kala Rabbi futa ga koroŋ Israyla boŋ. Rabbi ne i se: «Za kaŋ dumi woone n'ay sappa kaŋ ay n'i kaayey lordi nd'a feeri, i mana hangan ay sanney se mo --
21I also will not henceforth drive out any from before them of the nations which Joshua left when he died:
21 ne ka koy jine ay si ye ka dumi baa afo gaaray, ngey kaŋ Yasuwa naŋ hal a ga bu.
22That through them I may prove Israel, whether they will keep the way of the LORD to walk therein, as their fathers did keep it, or not.
22 Zama ay ma Israyla si i do, ka di hal i ga Rabbi fonda gana, i ma dira a ra, sanda mate kaŋ cine i kaayey na fonda gana, wala mo hal i si te yaadin.»
23Therefore the LORD left those nations, without driving them out hastily; neither delivered he them into the hand of Joshua.
23 Rabbi binde na dumey din naŋ. A man'i gaaray da cahãyaŋ. A man'i daŋ Yasuwa kamba ra mo.
