Jo-Israel okedo gi Jo-Kanaan modongʼ
Bangʼ tho Joshua, jo-Israel nopenjo Jehova Nyasaye niya, “Ere ngʼama biro dhi mokwongo mondo okednwa gi jo-Kanaan?”
Jehova Nyasaye nodwoko niya, “Dhood Juda ema biro dhi mokwongo; nimar asechiwo pinyno e lwetgi.”
Eka jo-Juda nowachone jo-Simeon mowetegi niya, “Biuru kodwa e gwengʼ mosepogwa, mondo waked gi jo-Kanaan. Wan bende wabiro dhi kodu e maru.” Omiyo jo-Simeon nodhi kodgi.
Kane jo-Juda omonjogi, Jehova Nyasaye nochiwo jo-Kanaan kod jo-Perizi e lwetgi kendo neginego ji alufu apar Bezek. Kanyo ema ne giyudoe Adoni-Bezek kendo negikedo kode, mi giloyo jo-Kanaan gi jo-Perizi. Adoni-Bezek noringo mondo oyombgi, to ne gilawe ma gimake kendo gingʼado lith lwetene mathuon kod lith tiendene mathuon.
Eka Adoni-Bezek nowacho niya, “Ruodhi piero abiriyo ma lith lwetegi mathuon kod lith tiendegi mathuon osengʼad oko osebedo ka chamo ngʼinjo e bwo mesana. Koro Nyasaye osechula kuom gigo mane atimonegi.” Negikele Jerusalem, kendo notho kanyo.
Jo-Juda bende nomonjo Jerusalem kendo ne gikawe. Negimonjo dala maduongʼno gi ligangla kendo gimoko mach kuome.
Bangʼ mano, jo-Juda nodhi mondo giked gi jo-Kanaan modak e piny manie got Negev kod tiend gode mantiere yo podho chiengʼ. Negidhi nyime kendo gikedo gi jo-Kanaan modak Hebron (machon ne iluongo ni Kiriath Arba) kendo negiloyo Sheshai, Ahiman kod Talmai.
Koa kanyo negisudo nyime kendo gimonjo joma odak Debir (machon ne iluongo ni Kiriath Sefa).
To Kaleb nowacho niya, “Anachiw nyara Aksa mondo okendi gi ngʼatno manoked ma kaw Kiriath Sefa.” Othniel wuod Kenaz, ma owadgi Kaleb matin, noloyo pinyno, omiyo Kaleb nomiye nyare Aksa mondo okendi.
Chiengʼ moro achiel kane obiro ir Othniel, nojiwe mondo okwa wuon mare puodho. Kane olor oa e pundane, Kaleb nopenje niya, “En angʼo midwaro ni mondo atimni?”
Nodwoko niya, “Timna ngʼwono makende. Nimar isemiya puodho man Negev, miya bende thidhna mar pi.” Omiyo Kaleb nomiye thidhna ma malo kod mamwalo.
Nyikwa jo-Keni ma jaduongʼ Musa, nodhi koa e Dala Maduongʼ mar Jeriko1:16 Ma bende iluongo ni Dala Maduongʼ mar Othidhe. ka en gi jo-Juda mondo gidag e dier jogo mantiere e thim mar Juda man Negev but Arad.
Eka jo-Juda nodhi gi jo-Simeon mowetegi mi gimonjo jo-Kanaan modak Zefath, kendo negiketho dala maduongʼno chuth. Emomiyo noluonge ni Horma.
Jo-Juda bende nokawo Gaza, Ashkelon kod Ekron, ka dala maduongʼ moro ka moro nigi gwengʼe.
Jehova Nyasaye ne nigi jo-Juda. Negikawo piny gode, to ne ok ginyal riembo joma ne odak e piny pewe, nikech ne gin-gi geche mag chuma. Kaka Musa ne osesingo, Hebron nomi Kaleb, mane oriembo yawuot Anak adek. Jo-Benjamin, kata kamano, ne ok nyal loyo jo-Jebus, mane odak Jerusalem; nyaka kawuononi jo-Jebus pod odak kanyo gi jo-Benjamin.
Koro od Josef nomonjo Bethel, kendo Jehova Nyasaye ne ni kode. Kane gioro ji mondo onon Bethel (machon yande iluongo ni Luz), jonon pinygo noneno ngʼato ka wuok e dala maduongʼ kendo negiwachone niya, “Kinyiswa e yo midonjogo e dala cha to ok wabi yie mondo gimoro otimi.” Omiyo nonyisogi, kendo neginego ji duto mane ni e dala maduongʼno gi ligangla makmana ngʼat cha gi joge duto ema notony. Eka nodhi e piny jo-Hiti, kama nogeroe dala maduongʼ mi ochake ni Luz, ma mano e nyinge nyaka chil kawuono.
To Manase ne ok oriembo jo-Beth Shan kata Tanak kata Dor kata Ibleam kata Megido kod alwora mar kuonde dak-gi, nimar jo-Kanaan noramo ni nyaka gidag e pinyno. Kane jo-Israel osebedo motegno, negiloko jo-Kanaan wasumbinigi kendo ne ok giriembogi kata matin. Kata jo-Efraim bende ne ok oriembo jo-Kanaan modak Gezer, to jo-Kanaan ne odhi nyime gidak e diergi. Jo-Zebulun bende ne ok oriembo jo-Kanaan mane odak Kitron kata Nahahol, mane odongʼ e diergi; to ne gilokogi wasumbinigi. Jo-Asher bende ne ok oriembo joma ne odak Ako, Sidon, Alab, Akzib, Helba, Afek, kod Rehob, kamano jo-Asher nodhi nyime mana gidak gi jo-Kanaan kendo ne ok giriembogi. Jo-Naftali bende ne ok oriembo jogo mane odak Beth Shemesh kod Beth Anath, to negidak e dier jo-Kanaan mane weg pinyno kendo negiloko jogo mane odak Beth Shemesh kod Beth Anath wasumbinigi. Jo-Amor nochoko jo-Dan kamoro achiel e piny gode, mane ok oyienigi mondo gibi mwalo e piny pewe. Kendo jo-Amor noramo ni nyaka gidag e Got Heres, Aijalon kod Shalbim, to ka teko mar od Josef nomedore, gin bende nolokgi wasumbini. Tongʼ mar jo-Amor nochakore Akrabim nyaka Sela kendo mokalo kanyo.
Malaika mar Jehova Nyasaye oor Bokim
Malaika mar Jehova Nyasaye nodhi koa Gilgal nyaka Bokim kendo nowacho niya, “Ne agolou e piny Misri mi aterou nyaka e piny mane asingo ni anami kwereu, ka awachonegi ni ok anaketh singruokna kodu, kendo ok unulos winjruok moro gi jopinyni, to unumuk kendegi mag misango. Kata kamano, ok useluora. En angʼo momiyo usetimo ma? Emomiyo koro anyisou ni ok anariembgi oko e nyimu; ginibed kuthe e ringreu kendo nyisechegi nobed tembe ne un.”
Kane malaika mar Jehova Nyasaye nosewacho wechegi ne jo-Israel duto, ji noywak matek, kendo negiluongo kanyo ni Bokim. Kanyo ne gichiwoe misengini ne Jehova Nyasaye.
Tamruok winjo wach kod loch
Bangʼ ka Joshua nosegolo jo-Israel, negidhi mondo gikaw pinyno, ka ngʼato ka ngʼato yudo pokne. Ji notiyone Jehova Nyasaye e ndalo duto mag ngima Joshua kod jodongo mane osedak higni moloye kendo mane oseneno gigo madongo ma Jehova Nyasaye osetimo ni Israel.
Joshua wuod Nun, jatich Jehova Nyasaye, notho ka en ja-higni mia achiel gapar. Kendo ne giike e lope mane opogne mantiere Timnath Sera e piny gode mag Efraim, mantiere yo nyandwat mar Got Gash.
Bangʼ ka tiengʼno duto noseyweyo kod kweregi, tiengʼ machielo nochako dongo, mane ok ongʼeyo Jehova Nyasaye kata gima nosetimone jo-Israel. Eka jo-Israel notimo timbe mamono e nyim Jehova Nyasaye kendo gitiyone Baal. Negijwangʼo Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasach kweregi, mane ogologi e piny Misri. Negilamo nyiseche mopogore opogore mag ogendini mane odak e pinyno. Negimiyo Jehova Nyasaye mirima, nikech ne gijwangʼe kendo gitiyone Baal kod jo-Ashtoreth. Jehova Nyasaye nobedo gi mirima gi jo-Israel mochiwogi e lwet wasikgi mondo omonjgi. Ne ochiwogi e lwet wasikgi kuonde duto mane ok ginyal tony. Kinde duto mane jo-Israel odhi kedo, lwet Jehova Nyasaye ne kelonegi chandruok, mana kaka ne osekwongʼorenigi, kendo ne gin e chandruok maduongʼ.
Eka Jehova Nyasaye nowalo jongʼad bura, mane okonyogi e lwet joma sandogi. Kata kamano ne ok ginyal winjo jongʼad bura mag-gi, to negidhi nyime gitimo timbe dwanyruok kendo lamo nyiseche manono. Piyo piyo nono ne gibaro mi giweyo rito chike mane Jehova Nyasaye omiyo kweregi kendo ne ok gimiye luor. Kinde ka kinde ma Jehova Nyasaye nokelonegi jangʼad bura, nokonyo jangʼad burano kendo noresogi e lwet wasikgi ndalo duto mane jangʼad burano pod ngima; nimar Jehova Nyasaye ne kechogi nikech wasikgi ne thirogi kendo hinyogi malit. To ka jangʼad bura notho, ji noduogo e timbe mangʼeny mag anjawo moloyo kata mago mag kweregi, ka giluwo bangʼ nyiseche mamoko kendo tiyonegi kendo ka gilamogi. Negitamore weyo timbegi mamono kod timbegi mag wich teko.
Kuom mano, mirima nomako Jehova Nyasaye gi jo-Israel kendo nowacho niya, “Nikech ogandani osejwangʼo singruok mane aketo gi kweregi kendo ok gisewinja, ok anariemb oganda mane Joshua otho oweyo mondo oa e nyimgi. Anati kodgi kuom temo Israel mondo ane ka ginyalo rito yo Jehova Nyasaye kendo wuothoe yorno kaka kweregi notimo.” Jehova Nyasaye noyiene ogandago mondo odongʼ, kendo ne ok oriembogi kata chiwogi e lwet Joshua.
Magi e oganda mane Jehova Nyasaye oweyo mondo otem jo-Israel duto mane ok osekalo e lweny moro amora e piny Kanaan. Mano notimo mana mondo opuonjgo nyikwa jo-Israel lweny, mago mane onge gi lony e kedo. Ogendinigo ne gin: ruodhi abich mag jo-Filistia, jo-Kanaan duto, jo-Sidon, kod jo-Hivi mane odak e gode mag Lebanon kochakore got Baal Hermon nyaka got Lebo Hamath. Jehova Nyasaye nowegi mondo otemgo jo-Israel kendo ongʼego ka ginyalo rito chike mane omiyo kweregi kokalo kuom Musa.
Jo-Israel nodak e kind jo-Kanaan, jo-Hiti, jo-Amor, jo-Perizi, jo-Hivi kod jo-Jebus. Negikendo nyi ogendinigo bangʼe negichiwo nyigi mondo okend gi yawuot pinjego kendo negilamo nyisechegi.
Othniel
Jo-Israel notimo tim mamono e wangʼ Jehova Nyasaye; ne wigi owil gi Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachgi mi gitiyone Baal kod Ashera. Mirimb Jehova Nyasaye mager nobiro kuom jo-Israel ma nojwangʼogi e lwet jo-Kushan-Rishathaim ruodh Aram-Naharaim, ma jo-Israel nobedo wasumbinigi kuom higni aboro. To kane giywakne Jehova Nyasaye, nochiwonegi jakony, ma en Othniel wuod Kenaz, owadgi Kaleb matin, mane oresogi. Roho mar Jehova Nyasaye nobiro kuome, mi nobedo jangʼad bura mar jo-Israel kendo negidhi e lweny. Jehova Nyasaye nochiwo Kushan-Rishathaim ruodh Aram e lwet Othniel, mane oloye. Omiyo piny nobedo gi kwe kuom higni piero angʼwen; nyaka Othniel wuod Kenaz notho.
Ehud
Jo-Israel nochako timo timbe mamono e wangʼ Jehova Nyasaye, kendo nikech timno, Jehova Nyasaye nochiwogi e lwet Eglon ruodh Moab. Eglon kaachiel gi jo-Amon kod jo-Amalek, nobiro momonjo jo-Israel, mi gikawo Dala Maduongʼ mar Jeriko.3:13 Ma bende iluongo ni Dala Maduongʼ mar Othidhe. Jo-Israel nobedo e bwo loch Eglon ruodh Moab kuom higni apar gaboro.
Jo-Israel nochako oywak ne Jehova Nyasaye mi nomiyogi jakony, Ehud, wuod Gera ja-Benjamin, mane racham. Jo-Israel noore gi chudo ir Eglon ruodh Moab. Ehud nothedho pand ligangla ma dhoge ariyo ma borne dirom fut achiel gi nus, mane oliere e bamne korachwich ei lepe. Ne ochiwo chudo ne Eglon ruodh Moab, mane ngʼat machwe ahinya. Bangʼ ka Ehud nosechiwo chudo, nooro jogo mane okelo chudo mondo odogi. Kane oneno gigo mopa man Gilgal ne olokore en owuon kendo owacho niya, “An kodi gi wach ma lingʼ-lingʼ, yaye ruoth.”
Ruoth nowacho niya, “Lingʼ thi!” Kendo joge duto mantie noa moweye.
Eka Ehud nosudo ire kama nobetie kende e agola ma malo mar ode mar yweyo, mane ojabetie ndalo oro mi owacho niya, “Nyasaye oora iri.” Ka Ruoth noa malo e kome, Ehud norieyo bade koracham, mi owuodho ligangla koa e bamne korachwich kendo ochwoyo ii ruoth. Ligangla nodonjo e iye molal kuno gi loge duto motuch nyaka e dier ngʼeye oko. Ehud ne ok opudho liganglano oko, kendo bor noume. Eka Ehud nowuok gie otuchi manie wi tado; nochiego dhoudi manie agola mamalo mi olorogi.
Bangʼ kane osedhi, jotich nobiro kendo oyudo ka dhoudi manie agola mamalo olor. Negiwacho niya, “Nyaka bed ni okonyore e agola ma iye mar ot.” Negirito ma wigi okuot, to kane ok oyawo dhout agola, negikawo kifungu kendo giyawogi. Kanyo negineno ruodhgi koriere e dier ot, kosetho.
Kane pod girito, Ehud noluchore mi owuok odhi. Ne okalo machiegni gi gik mopa mi opondo odhi Seira. Kane ochopo kanyo, nogoyo turumbete e piny gode mag Efraim, kendo jo-Israel nolor kode piny koa e got, ka otelonegi.
Nowachonegi niya, “Luwauru, nimar Jehova Nyasaye osechiwo Moab, jasiku, e lwetu.” Omiyo ne giluwe kendo negikawo bath aora Jordan mane ochiko yo Moab, maonge ngʼama ne nyalo pondo mondo okadh aora Jordan. E sechego neginego jo-Moab madirom alufu apar, jogo mongirore kendo maroteke; maonge ngʼama nopondo kata achiel. Chiengʼno Moab nobedo e bwo loch Israel, kendo piny nobedo gi kwe kuom higni piero aboro.
Shamgar
Bangʼ Ehud, Shamgar wuod Anath nobiro, en ema ne onego jo-Filistia mia auchiel gi bidhi. En bende noreso jo-Israel.
Debora
Bangʼ ka Ehud nosetho, jo-Israel nochako otimo tim mamono e wangʼ Jehova Nyasaye. Omiyo Jehova Nyasaye nousogi ne Jabin, ruodh Kanaan, ma loch mare neni Hazor. Jatend jolweny mage ne en Sisera, manodak Harosheth Hagoyim. Nikech ne en-gi geche chuma mia ochiko kendo notiyo jo-Israel gachuna kuom higni piero ariyo, ne giywakne Jehova Nyasaye mondo oresgi.
Debora, janabi madhako, ma chi Lapidoth, notelo ne jo-Israel e kindeno. Nobedo gi kar ngʼado bura e bwo Yadh Othith mar Debora mantiere kind Rama kod Bethel manie piny gode mar Efraim, kendo jo-Israel ne biro ire kanyo mondo ongʼadnegi bura. Noluongo Barak wuod Abinoam moa Kedesh man Naftali kendo owachone niya, “Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasach Israel, chiki ni, ‘Dhiyo, ikaw ji alufu apar mag Naftali kod Zebulun kendo itelnegi ka udhi e Got Tabor. Abiro wuondo Sisera, jatend jolwenj Jabin, kanyakla gi gechene kod ogandage mag lweny nyaka e Aora Kishon kendo achiwe e lweti.’ ”
Barak nowachone niya, “Ka idhi koda, abiro dhi; to ka ok idhi koda, to ok abi dhi.”
Debora nowachone niya, “Mano kare, abiro dhi kodi. To nikech yo ma itimoe gini duongʼ, ok nobed mari, nimar Jehova Nyasaye nochiw Sisera ne dhako.” Omiyo Debora nodhi gi Barak nyaka Kedesh, kama noluonge Zebulun kod Naftali. Ji alufu apar noluwo bangʼe, kendo Debora bende nodhi kode.
Koro Heber ja-Keni noseweyo jo-Keni ma nyikwa Hobab, ma en or Musa, kendo oguro hembe machiegni gi yien maduongʼ man Zananim but Kedesh.
Kane ginyiso Sisera ni Barak wuod Abinoam nosedhi Got Tabor, Sisera nochoko kanyakla gechene mag chuma mia ochiko kod chwo duto kode, koa Harosheth Hagoyim nyaka e Aora Kishon.
Eka Debora nowachone Barak niya, “Dhiyo! Ma e odiechiengʼ ma Jehova Nyasaye osechiwo Sisera e lweti. Donge Jehova Nyasaye osedhi nyimi?” Omiyo Barak nodhi e Got Tabor, kiluwe gi ji alufu apar. Kaka Barak ne sudo machiegni, Jehova Nyasaye nogoyo Sisera, jolweny mage kod gechene gi kihondko kendo Sisera nojwangʼo gache mi oringo gi tiende.
To Barak nodhi nyime gi lawo geche kod jolweny ma ochopo Harosheth Hagoyim. Oganda lweny duto mar Sisera noneg gi ligangla; kendo onge ngʼama notony.
Kata kamano, Sisera, noringo nyaka e hemb Jael, ma chi Heber ja-Keni, nikech ne nitie osiep e kind Jabin ruodh Hazor kod anywola Heber ja-Keni. Jael nowuok mondo orom gi Sisera kendo owachone niya, “Bi, ruodha, donji. Kik iluor.” Omiyo nodonjo ei hembe, kendo noume.
Nowacho niya, “Awinjo riyo. Kiyie to miya pi amodhi.” Noyawo chupa mar chak, momiye omadho, bangʼe oume kendo.
Nowachone niya, “Chungʼ e dhood hema. Ka ngʼato obiro kendo openji ni, ‘Bende ngʼato nitiere ka?’ To wachne ni, ‘Ooyo.’ ”
Jael, ma chi Heber, nokawo sigingi mar hema kod nyundo kendo nodhi ire mapiyo kama nindo nogoye ngoga, kendo ool. Nopowo iye gi sigingino nyaka e lowo, mi otho.
Barak nobiro kolawo Sisera, kendo Jael nowuok mondo orom kode. Nowachone niya, “Bi, abiro nyisi ngʼat ma imanyo.” Omiyo nodhi kode, kendo kanyo Sisera nonindo gi sigingi kopowo iye kosetho.
E odiechiengno Nyasaye nomako Jabin, ruodh Kanaan, e nyim jo-Israel. Chakre e kindeno Israel nobedo motegno mine giloyo Jabin ruodh Kanaan.

Gideon
Jo-Israel nochako otimo timbe mamono e nyim Jehova Nyasaye, kendo kuom higni abiriyo nochiwogi e lwet jo-Midian. Nikech jo-Midian ne keto ji gi tich matek mar achuna, jo-Israel nogero kuonde pondo e tiend got, rogo kod kuonde moko ma ginyalo dakie. Kinde ka kinde mane jo-Israel opidho cham mag-gi, jo-Midian, jo-Amalek kod jogo moa yo wuok chiengʼ ne monjo piny. Negichokore e pinyno kendo negiketho cham duto nyaka Gaza kendo onge gima ngima kaka rombe kata dhok kata punde mane giweyo e piny Israel. Negibiro gi jambgi kod hembegi machal gi kweth mar dede. Kar kwan jogo kaachiel gi ngamia mag-gi ne tek ngʼeyo, kendo negimonjo pinyno mi gikethe. Jo-Midian nokelone jo-Israel dhier maduongʼ mane giywakne Jehova Nyasaye mondo okonygi.
Ka jo-Israel noywak ne Jehova Nyasaye nikech jo-Midian, nooronegi janabi, mane owachonegi niya, “Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasach Israel, wacho: Nagolou e piny Misri, kuma ne unie wasumbini. Ne agolou e loch jo-Misri kendo aresou e lwet joma ne sandou. Ne ariembogi gia e nyimu kendo amiyou pinygi. Ne awachonu niya, ‘An Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu; kik ulam nyiseche jo-Amor, makoro udak e pinygi.’ To pod ok udewo winja.”
Malaika mar Jehova Nyasaye nobiro mobet e tiend yiend ober moro mantiere Ofra mane mar Joash ma ja-Abiezer, kama wuod Gideon ne dinoe ngano mondo kik jo-Midian yude. Ka malaika nofwenyore ne Gideon, nowacho niya, “Jehova Nyasaye ni kodi, in jalweny maratego.”
To Gideon nodwoke niya, “Ruodha, ka Jehova Nyasaye nikodwa, to angʼo momiyo magi duto osetimorenwa? Ere honni duto mane kwerewa onyisowa kagiwacho ni, ‘Donge Jehova Nyasaye ema nogolowa e piny Misri?’ To koro Jehova Nyasaye osejwangʼowa mi oketowa e lwet jo-Midian.”
Jehova Nyasaye nodwoke niya, “Gi teko ma in-go, dhiyo kendo ires jo-Israel e lwet jo-Midian. Donge an ema aori?”
Gideon nopenje niya, “To Ruoth, ere kaka anyalo reso jo-Israel? Anywolana ema nyape mogik ei Manase, kendo an ema atin e odwa.”
Jehova Nyasaye nodwoko niya, “Anabed kodi, kendo ibiro nego jo-Midian duto.”
Gideon nodwoko niya, “Ka koro ayudo ngʼwono e nyim wangʼi, to miya ranyisi ni in ema iwuoyo koda. Kiyie to kik iwuog ka nyaka abi kendo akel misango mara mi achiwe e nyimi.”
To Jehova Nyasaye nowacho niya, “Abiro rito nyaka iduogi.”
Gideon nodhi, moyangʼo nyadiel kendo otedo, bangʼe nokawo mogo madirom kilo piero ariyo gariyo mi olosogo makati ma ok oketie thowi koketo ringʼo e adita kod kate e tawo, nokelogi oko kendo ochiwogi ne Jehova Nyasaye e tiend yiend ober.
Malaika mar Nyasaye nowachone niya, “Kaw ringʼono kod makati ma ok oketie thowi, ketgi e lwandani, kendo iol kado piny.” Kendo Gideon notimo kamano. Malaika mar Jehova Nyasaye nomulo ringʼo kod makati ma ok oketie thowi gi wi luth mane otingʼo e lwete. Mach nowuok e lwanda, mowangʼo ringʼo kod makati pep. Kendo malaika mar Jehova Nyasaye nolal nono e wangʼe. Kane Gideon ofwenyo ni ne en malaika mar Jehova Nyasaye, nowacho niya, “Yaye, Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto! Aseneno malaika mar Jehova Nyasaye wangʼ gi wangʼ!”
To Jehova Nyasaye nowachone niya, “Bed gi kwe! Kik iluor. Ok nitho.”
Omiyo Gideon nogero ne Jehova Nyasaye kendo mar misango mi oluongo kanyo ni Jehova Nyasaye en Kwe. Kendono pod ni Ofra kuno e piny jo-Abiezer nyaka chil kawuono.
Otienono Jehova Nyasaye nowachone niya, “Kaw rwath mar ariyo koa e kweth wuonu, ma hike abiriyo. Muk kendo wuonu mar misango ne Baal kendo ingʼad siro mar Ashera man bute. Eka iger kendo mar misango malongʼo ne Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu ewi kama otingʼore maloni mondo ichiw rwath mar ariyo kaka misango miwangʼo pep, kitiyo gi yiend Ashera mane ingʼado.”
Omiyo Gideon nokawo jotijene apar kendo notimo kaka Jehova Nyasaye nowachone. Notimo tijno gotieno ma ok odiechiengʼ nikech noluoro jo-dalagi kod joodgi.

Kapo ni pien rombono thoo omokoe, to lowo molwore odongʼ kotwo, eka anangʼe ni ibiro reso jo-Israel gi lweta kaka ne iwacho.” Kendo mano e gima notimore.

Gideon oloyo jo-Midian
Gokinyi mangʼich, Jerub-Baal (mano en Gideon) kod joge duto nojot e soko mar Harod. Kambi jo-Midian ne nitiere yo nyandwat margi e holo man but got More. Jehova Nyasaye nowachone Gideon niya, “In-gi ji mangʼeny ma ok anyal chiwo jo-Midian e lwetgi. Mondo kik jo-Israel sungrena ni tekogi ema oresogi, go milome ne ji ni, ‘Ngʼato angʼata ma luoro omako ogom kendo oa e Got Gilead.’ ” Omiyo ji alufu piero ariyo gariyo noa, to ji alufu apar nodongʼ.
To Jehova Nyasaye nodwoko Gideon niya, “Pod nitie ji mangʼeny ahinya. Kawgi itergi e pi, kendo abiro miyogi penj kuno. Ka awacho ni, ‘Ma biro dhi kodi,’ to obiro dhi; to ka awacho ni, ‘Ma ok bi dhi kodi,’ to ok obi dhi.”
Omiyo Gideon noterogi e dho pi. Kanyo Jehova Nyasaye nowachone niya, “Pog jogo magado pi gi lewgi kaka guok kuom jogo magoyo chong-gi piny mondo omodhi.” Ji mia adek nogado pi gi lwetgi. Jogo modongʼ nogoyo chonggi piny mondo gimodhi.
Jehova Nyasaye nowachone Gideon niya, “Kuom ji mia adek mane ogado pi gi lwetgi, anaresu kendo achiw jo-Midian e lwetu. We ji mamoko odhi, ka moro ka moro dok dalane.” Omiyo Gideon nooro jo-Israel mamoko e hembegi, to ji mia adek mane odongʼ-go nokawo chiemo kod turumbete mag joma nodok e miechgi.
Kambi jo-Midian ne ni e holo gi mwalo. Otienono Jehova Nyasaye nowachone Gideon niya, “Aa malo, dhiyo imonj kambi, nikech adhi chiwe e lweti. Kiluor mar monjogi, to dhi e kambi gi jatichni Pura kendo ichik iti iwinj gima giwacho. Bangʼe, inibed gi mijingʼo mar monjo kambino.” Omiyo en kod Pura jatichne negidhi machiegni gi kambi. Jo-Midian, jo-Amalek kod jogo moa yo wuok chiengʼ nojot e holo mane oyugno ka kama bonyo ochokore. Ne gin gi ngamia mangʼeny mane ok nyal kwan mana ka kwoyo manie dho nam.

Osiepne nodwoko niya, “Ma ok en wach moro machielo makmana ligangla mar Gideon wuod Joash, ma ja-Israel. Nyasaye osechiwo jo-Midian kod kambi duto e lwete.”
Ka Gideon nowinjo lekno kod kaka oloke, nopako Nyasaye. Nodok e kambi jo-Israel kendo owacho niya, “Chungʼuru malo! Jehova Nyasaye osechiwo jo-Midian e lwetu.” Nopogo ji mia adekgo e migepe adek, komiyogi duto turumbete kod njagi maonge gimoro e iye e lwetgi, ka nitiere toch ei njagigo.

Jolweny noringo odhi Beth Shitta kochiko Zerera mochopo nyaka e tongʼ mar Abel Mehola man but Tabath. Noluong jo-Israel moa Naftali, Asher kod Manase, kendo negilawo jo-Midian.

Negidwoke niya, “Ji machalo kodi, ma ngʼato ka ngʼato ne nigi kido machalo mar ruoth.”

To Gideon nokonegi niya, “Ok anabed jatendu, kata wuoda bende ok nobed jatendu. Jehova Nyasaye ema biro bedo jatendu.” Kendo nowacho niya, “An-gi kwayo achiel, ni ngʼato ka ngʼato kuomu omiya stadi kuom pok mag gik mane uyako.” Ne en kit jo-Ishmael mondo gilier stadi mar dhahabu e itgi.

Jo-Israel nochako otimo timbe mamono e wangʼ Jehova Nyasaye. Negitiyone Baal gi Ashtoreth, kod nyiseche mag jo-Aram, gi nyiseche mag jo-Sidon, nyiseche mag jo-Moab, nyiseche mag jo-Amon kod nyiseche mag jo-Filistia. Bende nikech jo-Israel nojwangʼo Jehova Nyasaye mi ok gitiyone, iye nowangʼ kodgi. Nochiwogi e lwet jo-Filistia kod jo-Amon, mane osandogi kendo othirogi e higano. Kuom higni apar gaboro negisando jo-Israel duto mane nitie yo wuok chiengʼ mar Jordan e piny Gilead, ma en piny jo-Amor. Jo-Amon bende nongʼado Jordan mondo oked gi jo-Juda, jo-Benjamin kod od Efraim; kendo Israel nenie thagruok malich. Eka jo-Israel noywak ne Jehova Nyasaye, “Waseketho e nyimi, ka waweyo Nyasachwa kendo watiyone nyiseche mag Baal.”
Jehova Nyasaye nodwoko niya, “E kinde mane jo-Misri, jo-Amor, jo-Amon, jo-Filistia, jo-Sidon, jo-Amalek kod jo-Maon nothirou kendo ne uywakna mondo akonyu, donge ne aresou ma ua e lwetgi?

To jo-Israel nowachone Jehova Nyasaye niya, “Wasetimo richo. Timnwa gimoro amora miparo ni berni, to kiyie to reswa sani.” Eka ne giwito nyiseche manono kendo negitiyo ni Jehova Nyasaye. Eka Jehova Nyasaye nokecho jo-Israel kuom thagruokgi.

Wan pok wakethonu, to un koro utimonwa marach kuom kedo kodwa. Mad uwe Jehova Nyasaye, ma jangʼad bura ongʼad burano odiechiengʼ ma kawuononi e kind jo-Israel gi jo-Amon.”
Kata kamano, ruodh jo-Amon ne ok odewo ote mane joote Jeftha okelone.
Eka Roho mar Jehova Nyasaye nobiro kuom Jeftha. Noluwo piny Gilead gi Manase, kokalo Mizpa mar Gilead, kendo koa kanyo nodhi momonjo jo-Amon. Kendo Jeftha nokwongʼore ne Jehova Nyasaye niya, “Ka inichiw jo-Amon e lweta, to ngʼato angʼata mani wuog e dalana mondo orom koda bangʼ ka aseloyo jo-Amon nobed mar Jehova Nyasaye, kendo anachiwe kaka misango miwangʼo pep.”
Eka Jeftha nowuok mondo odhi oked gi jo-Amon, kendo Jehova Nyasaye nochiwogi e lwete. Noketho mier piero ariyo kochakore e aora Aroer nyaka Minith, mochopo nyaka Abel Keramim. Mano e kaka jo-Israel nokawo Amon.
Kane Jeftha odwogo dalane man Mizpa, noneno mana nyare kamiel kabiro romone! Ne en gi nyako achiel kende maonge wuowi kata nyako moro machielo. Kane onene, noyiecho lepe mi oywak niya, “Yaye Nyara! Isemiya abedo modhier kendo gi thagruok, nikech ne asesingora ne Jehova Nyasaye ma ok anyal ketho.”
Nodwoko niya, “Wuonwa, isechiwo wachni ne Jehova Nyasaye. Timna mana kaka ne isesingori, nikech Jehova Nyasaye koro oseresi e lwet wasiki, ma jo-Amon.” Nomedo wachone niya, “To yie itimna kwayo achiel kende. Miya dweche ariyo mondo aba ewi gode kendo aywagi gi osiepena, nikech ok bi kenda.”

Kochakore e ndalono, jo-Israel noketo chik ni higa ka higa mon matindo mag Israel nyaka dhi e got kuom ndalo angʼwen mondo otim rapar mar nyar Jeftha ma ja-Gilead.

Jo-Efraim nochoko jolweny mage, ma gidhi Zafon kendo giwachone Jeftha niya, “Angʼo ma omiyo ne idhi kedo gi jo-Amon ma ok iluongowa mondo wadhi kodi? Wadhi wangʼo odi ka in e iye.”

Omiyo Jeftha noluongo jo-Gilead duto mi gikedo gi jo-Efraim. Jo-Gilead nonegogi nikech jo-Efraim nosewacho niya, “Un jo-Gilead un mana jonjore mane oa Efraim gi Manase.” Jo-Gilead nomako kuonde miyorogo Jordan mondo jo-Efraim kik ngʼadi.

To kane odwoko ni ok en ja-Efraim, to negiwachone ni mondo owach ni Shiboleth. To kane ok onyal luongo wachno maber, mi oluonge mana ni Siboleth, to negimake mi ginege e dho wath miyorogo aora Jordan. Jo-Efraim alufu piero angʼwen gariyo nonegi odiechiengno.

Jo-Israel nochako otimo timbe mamono e wangʼ Jehova Nyasaye, omiyo Jehova Nyasaye nochiwogi e lwet jo-Filistia kuom higni piero angʼwen.
Ja-Zora moro, ma nyinge Manoa, moa e anywola joka Dan, ne en gi dhako ma migumba kendo nobedo maonge nyathi. Malaika mar Jehova Nyasaye nofwenyorene mi owacho niya, “In migumba kendo ionge nyathi to ibiro mako ich mi inywol wuowi. Koro kik imadh divai kata gimoro amora mamero ji kendo kik icham chiemo moro amora mogak, nikech ibiro mako ich kendo ininywol wuowi. Wembe ok nokal e wiye, nikech wuowino nyaka bed ja-Nazir, mowal ne Nyasaye, koa nywolne, kendo nochak reso jo-Israel oa e lwet jo-Filistia.”
Eka dhakono nodhi ir chwore kendo owachone niya, “Ngʼat Nyasaye nobiro ira. Nochalo malaika mar Nyasaye, nolich ahinya. Ne ok apenje kuma ne oaye, kendo kata nyinge ne ok onyisa. To nowachona ni, ‘Ibiro mako ich kendo ininywol wuowi. Omiyo koro, kik imadh divai kata gimoro amora mamero ji kendo kik icham chiemo moro amora mogak, nikech wuowino biro bedo ja-Nazir mar Nyasaye kochakore chiengʼ nywolne nyaka thone.’ ”
Eka Manoa nolamo Jehova Nyasaye niya, “Yaye Ruoth Nyasaye, akwayi, mad iwe ngʼat Nyasaye mane ioro irwa obi kendo opuonjwa kaka wanyalo rito wuowini.”
Nyasaye nowinjo Manoa, kendo malaika mar Jehova Nyasaye noduogo ir dhako sa ma ne en e puodho; to Manoa chwore ne ok ni kode. Chi Manoa nodhi piyo monyiso chwore niya, “Ngʼat mane obiro ira cha ni ka!”
Manoa no-aa malo moluwo bangʼ chiege. Kane ochopo ir ngʼatno, nowacho niya, “In e ngʼama nowuoyo kod chiega?”
Nodwoke niya, “Ee, en an.”
Omiyo Manoa nopenje niya, “Ka wechegi ochopo kare, to chike mage mabiro rito ngima kod tich wuowini?”
Malaika mar Jehova Nyasaye nodwoko niya, “Chiegi nyaka tim gigo duto ma asenyise. Ok onego ocham gimoro amora mowuok kuom mzabibu, kata madho divai moro amora kata madho gimoro amora mamero ji kata chamo chiemo moro amora mogak. Nyaka otim gik moko duto masechike.”
Manoa nowachone malaika mar Jehova Nyasaye niya, “Dwaher mondo ibed kodwa matin nyaka wayangʼnie nyadiel moro.”
Malaika mar Jehova Nyasaye nowacho niya, “Kata bed ni ugengʼona kae, to ok anacham chiembu moro amora. To ka uiko misango miwangʼo pep, to uchiwe ne Jehova Nyasaye.” Manoa ne ok ongʼeyo nine en malaika mar Jehova Nyasaye.
Eka Manoa nonono malaika mar Jehova Nyasaye niya, “Nyingi ngʼa; mondo mi wabi wamiyi duongʼ ka wachni obedo adiera?”
Nodwoko niya, “Angʼo ma omiyo ipenjo nyinga? En nying modhiero ngʼeyo.” Eka Manoa nokawo nyadiel, kaachiel gi chiwo mar cham, mi otimone Jehova Nyasaye misango ewi lwanda. Kendo Jehova Nyasaye notimo gima hono ka Manoa gi chiege neno. E sa ma pilni mach ne dhwolore koa e kendo mar misango kochiko polo, malaika mar Jehova Nyasaye nodhi malo koluwo pilni mach. Kane gineno ma, Manoa gi chiege nopodho piny auma. Kane malaika mar Jehova Nyasaye ne ok ochako ofwenyore ne Manoa gi chiege, Manoa nofwenyo ni ne en malaika mar Jehova Nyasaye.
Nowachone chiege niya, “Wabiro tho nikech waseneno Nyasaye gi wangʼwa!”
To chiege nodwoko niya, “Ka dipo ni Jehova Nyasaye ne nigi paro mar negowa, to dine ok oyie misango miwangʼo pep kod chiwo mar cham moa e lwetwa, kata nyisowa gigi duto kata nyisowa masani.”
Dhakono nonywolo wuowi kendo nochake ni Samson. Nodongo kendo Jehova Nyasaye nogwedhe, kendo Roho mar Jehova Nyasaye nochako bedo kode ka en Mahane Dan, e kind Zora gi Eshtaol.
Nyombo mar Samson
Samson nodhi Timna kendo noneno nyako ma pod tin ma nyar jo-Filistia. Kane odwogo to ne onyiso wuon-gi gi min-gi niya, “Aseneno nyar jo-Filistia modak Timna; omiyo koro kelnagouru obed chiega.”
Wuon-gi gi min-gi nodwoke niya, “Donge nitiere nyako modimbore kuom wedeni kata kuom jowa duto? Ochuno ni nyaka idhi ir jo-Filistia ma ok oter nyangu mondo iyude dhako?”
To Samson nowachone wuon-gi niya, “Miya gouru. En ema owinjore koda.” Jonywolne ne ok ongʼeyo ni ma en dwaro Jehova Nyasaye, mondo omi giyud thuolo mar kedo gi jo-Filistia; nimar e kindeno jo-Israel ne ni e bwo lochgi.
Samson nodhi Timna kaachiel gi wuon-gi kod min-gi. Kane gichiegni chopo e puoth mzabibu mar Timna, apoya nono nyathi sibuor nowuok karuto kochome tir. Roho mar Jehova Nyasaye nobiro kuome giteko mane oyiecho sibuor koni gi koni gi lwete nono mana kaka onyalo yiecho nyadiel. To ne ok onyiso wuon mare kata min mare gima ne osetimo. Eka nodhi mi owuoyo gi nyakono, kendo nohere.

Kane oriwore gi jonywolne kendo, nomiyogi matin, kendo gin bende negichamo. To ne ok onyisogi nine ogolo mor kichno e choke sibuor motho.
Wuon-gi nodhi mondo one nyakono. Kendo Samson noloso nyasi kanyo, nikech mano ema ne en kit wuowi madwaro nyombo. Kane ochopo, to ne omiye jochungʼ piero adek.
Samson nowachonegi niya, “We agonue ngero moro. Ka unyalo miya dwoko bangʼ ndalo abiriyo mar nyasini, to anamiu kandhe piero adek gi lewni mabeyo bende piero adek.” Ka ok unyal miya dwoko, to nyaka umiya kandhe piero adek gi lewni mabeyo bende piero adek.
Negiwachone niya, “Nyiswa ngero mari mondo wawinji.”
Nodwoko niya,
“Gima ichamo nowuok kuom jocham ji;

Kuom ndalo adek ne ok ginyal chiwo dwoko.
E odiechiengʼ mar angʼwen, neginyiso chi Samson niya, “Hoo chwori mondo onyiswa tiend ngerono, ka ok kamano, to wabiro wangʼi kaachiel gi od wuonu duto nyaka utho. Ne iluongowa kae mondo imawa?”
Eka chi Samson nodirore kuome, koywak, “Ok idwara! Ok ihera. Isemiyo joga ngero, to pod ok inyisa tiende.”
Samson nodwoke niya, Wachni pod ok anyiso wuonwa kata minwa, “angʼo momiyo nyaka anyisi tiende?” Noywak odiechienge abiriyo duto mar nyasi. Omiyo e odiechiengʼ mar abiriyo nonyise, nikech nosiko mana kokase. Bangʼe nonyiso joge tiend ngerono.
Kane chiengʼ pod ok opodho e odiechiengʼ mar abiriyo, jo-dalano nowachone niya,

En angʼo maratego moloyo sibuor?”
Samson nowachonegi niya,
“Kane ok upuro gi nyarocha,

Eka Roho mar Jehova Nyasaye nobiro kuome gi teko. Nodhi Ashkelon, monego ji piero adek ma omagi gigegi mi ochiwo kandhe ne jogo mane owacho tiend ngero. Nodhi e od wuon ka en gi mirima. Chi Samson nomi osiepne mane jachungʼne kokendo.
Samson ochulo kuor ne jo-Filistia
Bangʼ kinde moko e ndalo mar kayo ngano, Samson nokawo nyadiel kendo nodhi limo chiege. Nowacho niya, “Adhi od nindo mar chiega.” To jaduongʼne ne ok nyal yiene mondo odonji.
Nowachone niya, “Ne an-gi adieri ni ok idware, omiyo ne amiye osiepni. Donge nyamin mare matin ber neno moloye? En ema koro ikawe.”
Samson nowachonegi niya, “Koro an-gi ratiro mar kedo gi jo-Filistia; ma kata koro atimonegi marach to aonge gi ketho.” Omiyo nowuok kendo nomako kibwe mia adek motweyogi gi iwgi ariyo ariyo. Bangʼe notweyo mach e yiw kibwego, bangʼe nomako mach e yiw kibwego mi oweyogi mondo gidonj e puothe mag jo-Filistia. Nowangʼo puothe moseka to gi mago mapodi, kaachiel gi puoth mzabibu kod puothe zeituni.
Kane jo-Filistia openje niya, “En ngʼa motimo ma?” To nodwokgi niya, “En Samson, ma or ja-Timna, nikech chiege nomaye momi osiepne.”
Omiyo jo-Filistia nodhi mowangʼo dhakono gi wuon-gi mi githo. Samson nowachonegi niya, “Nikech usetimo gima kama, ok analingʼ nyaka achulnu kuor.” Nomonjogi gi mirima ahinya mi onego ji mangʼeny kuomgi. Bangʼe nodhi modak e rogo mar lwanda man Etam.
Jo-Filistia nowuok kendo ne gibworo chakre dala mar Juda nyaka Lehi. Jo-Juda nopenjogi niya, “Angʼo ma omiyo ubiro kedo kodwa?”
Negidwokogi niya, “Wabiro mako Samson, mondo watimne kaka otimonwa.”
Eka ji alufu adek moa Juda nodhi e rogo mar lwanda man Etam ma giwachone Samson niya, “Bende ingʼeyo ni wan e bwo loch jo-Filistia? Ma angʼo ma isetimonwani?”
Nodwoko niya, “Ne atimonegi mana gima gisetimona.”
Negiwachone niya, “Wasebiro mondo watweyi kendo wachiwi e lwet jo-Filistia.”
Samson nowacho niya, “Kwongʼrenauru ni un uwegi ok ununega.”
Negidwoke niya, “Wayie. Wabiro mana tweyi bangʼe wachiwi e lwetgi. Ok wananegi.” Omiyo ne gitweye gi tonde ariyo manyien ma gigole oko mar lwanda. Kane ochiegni chopo Lehi, jo-Filistia nobiro kakok kochome. Roho mar Jehova Nyasaye nobiro kuome gi teko. Tonde mane otweyego nochalo ka usi mowangʼ, kendo gik mane otweyego nolwar oa e lwete. Noyudo chogo manyien mar lemb punda, nokawe kendo nonego ji alufu achiel.
Eka Samson nowacho niya,
“Gi chogo mar lemb punda

Gi chok lemb punda

Kane osetieko wuoyo, nowito chok lemb punda; kendo kanyo nochaki ni Ramath Lehi.
Nikech riyo nohewe ahinya, noywak ne Jehova Nyasaye niya, “Isemiyo jatichni loch maduongʼ kama. Tangʼ atho gi riyo kendo alwar e lwet joma ok oter nyangu?” Eka Nyasaye noyawo holo e Lehi, kendo pi nowuok kanyo. Kane Samson omodhe, tekone noduogo. Omiyo thidhiano nochako ni En Hakore, kendo pod entiere Lehi.
Samson notelo ne Israel kuom higni piero ariyo e ndalo mag jo-Filistia.
Samson kod Delila
Chiengʼ moro achiel Samson nodhi Gaza, kama nonenoe nyako moro ma jachode mi odhi mondo oterre kode. Nonyis jo-Gaza niya, “Samson nitiere kae!” Omiyo negilworo kanyo kendo gibuto ka girite otieno duto e dhoranga dala maduongʼ. Ne ok gisudo otienono, kagiwacho niya, “Kochopo kogwen to wabiro nege.”
To Samson nonindo kanyo nyaka dier otieno. Eka no-aa malo kendo nomako ranga dalano kaachiel gi sirnine ariyo mopudhogi kod gik moko duto. Notingʼogi e goke mi oterogi ewi got momanyore gi Hebron.
Bangʼ mano, nomako osiep hera gi nyako ma nyinge Delila e Holo mar Sorek. Jotend jo-Filistia nodhi ir Delila mi owachone niya, “Tem ane ka inyalo hoye mondo onyisi kuma tekone ae kendo ingʼe kaka wanyalo loye mondo mi watweye kendo sande. Wabiro miyi fedha ma pekne romo kilo apar gadek ngʼato ka ngʼato.”
Omiyo Delila nowachone Samson niya, “Nyisa ane kuma tekoni ae kendo kaka inyalo maki mi tweyi.”
Samson nodwoke niya, “Ka ngʼato otweya gi tonde abiriyo manyien mapok otiyo, to abiro bedo manyap machal gi ngʼato angʼata.”
Eka jotelo mag jo-Filistia nokelone Delila tonde abiriyo manyien mapok otiyo, eka notweye gi tondego. Kane osepando jomoko ei ot kanyo, noluonge kowacho niya, “Samson, jo-Filistia osebiro monji!” To ne ochodo tondego e yo mayot mana kaka tol chot kokete machiegni gi mach. Omiyo kuma tekone ae ne ok ofweny.
Eka Delila nowachone Samson niya, “Isekawa ngʼama ofuwo; ne iwuonda. Bi mondo koro inyisa kaka inyalo tweyi.”
Nowachone niya, “Ka ngʼato otweya moridore gi tonde manyien mapok otiyo, to abiro bedo manyap machal gi ngʼato angʼata.”
Omiyo Delila nokawo tonde manyien mi otweyego. Kane osepando jomoko ei ot kanyo, noluonge kowacho niya, “Samson, jo-Filistia osebiro monji!” To nochodo tondego mana ka gima gin usi.
Eka Delila nowachone Samson niya, “Nyaka sani, isebedo ka ikawa ka ngʼama ofuwo kendo isewuonda. Nyisa kaka inyalo tweyi.”
Nodwoko niya, “Ka ikado yie wiya gi usi mar chwecho kendo miride gi pino, to anabed manyap machal gi ngʼato angʼata.” Omiyo kane onindo Delila nokado yie wiye nyadibiriyo, kotwangʼe matek gi usi mar chwecho kendo oride motegno gi pino.
Noluonge kendo niya, “Samson, jo-Filistia osebiro monji.” Nochiewo oa e nindo mi opudho pino oko kod usi mar chwecho.
Bangʼe nowachone niya, “Ere kaka inyalo wacho ni ihera to ok inyal nyisa kuma tekoni ae? Ma koro en mar adek ma iseketa ka ngʼama ofuwo kendo pod ok inyisa kuma tekoni ae.” Noromo Samson gi wachni pile ka pile manomiyo koro odwaro mana dere.
Omiyo nohulone gik moko duto kowachone niya, “Onge wembe mosekadho e wiya nikech asebedo ja-Nazir ma Nyasaye nowalo nyaka aa nywolna. Ka yie wiya oliel, to tekra biro rumo, kendo abiro bedo manyap machal gi ngʼato angʼata.”
Ka Delila noneno nine osenyise gik moko duto, nooro wach ne jotend jo-Filistia niya, “Dwoguru dichiel; osenyisa gik moko duto.” Omiyo jotend jo-Filistia noduogo gi chudo e lwetgi.

Kane ochiewo to ne owacho e chunye niya, “Abiro wuok kaka pile mondo abed thuolo.” To ne ok ongʼeyo ni Jehova Nyasaye noseweye.

E seche mane gin-gi ilo mathothno, negigoyo koko niya, “Keluru Samson mondo omielnwa.” Omiyo negigolo Samson oko mar od twech, mi omielnegi.
Kane oyudo gichunge e kind sirni, Samson nowachone jatich mane omako lwete niya, “Keta ane kama anyalo muloe sirni mosiro hekaluni, mondo omi ayiengra kuomgi.” Koro hekalu nopongʼ gi chwo kod mon; jotend jo-Filistia duto ne ni kanyo, kendo ne nitie chwo gi mon alufu adek mane ni ewi tado ka ngʼiyo Samson kamiel.

Kane odwokone min mare fedha ma pekne romo kilo apar gadekgo, min-gi nowachone niya, “Achiwo fedha maga duto ne Jehova Nyasaye mondo mi wuoda olosgo kido mopa mar nyasaye, omiyo koro aduogonigo.”
Omiyo nodwokone min mare fedha, kendo min-gi nokawo fedha ma pekne romo kilo ariyo gi nus mi ochiwogi ne jatheth, mane olosogi e kido mar nyasaye milamo. Kendo noketgi e od Mika.

Bangʼ kane osebedo kuno kuom dweche angʼwen, chwore nodhi ire mondo olombe gi wach oduogi. Ne en-gi jatichne kod punde ariyo. Notere nyaka e od wuon mare, kendo ka wuon mare nonene, norwake gi mor. Jaduongʼne, ma wuon nyako, nosaye mondo omed limogi; omiyo nobedo kanyo kuom ndalo adek, kochiemo kendo kometho, kendo konindo kanyo.
Chiengʼ mar angʼwen ne gichiewo gokinyi ka giikore mar wuok, to jaduongʼne nowachone niya, “We iyud gimoro icham; eka idhi.” Omiyo ji ariyogo nobedo piny mochiemo kendo ometho. Bangʼe jaduongʼne nowachone niya, “Yie iri kawuono mondo iyud mor.” Kendo kane ngʼatno oa malo mondo odhi, jaduongʼne nosaye, omiyo nonindo kanyo otienono. Chiengʼ mar abich gokinyi, kane ochungo mondo odhi, jaduongʼne nowachone niya, “Bed mamor. Rit nyaka odhiambo!” Omiyo ji ariyogo nochiemo kanyakla.
E kinde ma ngʼatno gi dhakono kod jatichne nowuok mondo odhiyo, jaduongʼne nowachonegi niya, “Sa koro ngʼeny, omiyo ninduru ka nikech piny oseyuso.

Kane gichopo machiegni gi Jebus e kinde mag angʼich welo, jatich nowachone ruodhe niya, “Bi, mondo waywe e dala maduongʼ mar Jebus kendo wanind kanyo.”
Ruodhe nodwoke niya, “Ooyo. Ok wanadhi e dala maduongʼ mar jodak, ma joge ok jo-Israel. Wabiro dhi nyaka wachop Gibea.” Nomedo owacho niya, “Bi, mondo watem ka wanyalo chopo Gibea kata Rama mondo wabuor wanindi e achiel kuom miergo.” Omiyo negidhi nyime giwuoth, kendo chiengʼ nopodho ka gichiegni chopo Gibea e piny Benjamin. Kane gichopo kanyo mondo gibuor, negidhi mi gibet e laru mar dala maduongʼ, to onge ngʼama norwakogi mondo giyud kar nindo.
Odhiambono jaduongʼ moro moa e piny gode mag Efraim, mane odak Gibea (joma nodak kanyo ne gin jo-Benjamin), nobiro kanyo koa tiyo e puothe. Kane ongʼiyo moneno jawuoth e laru mar dala maduongʼ, jaduongʼno nopenje niya, “Ua kanye, to udhi kanye?”
Nodwoko niya, “Waa Bethlehem e piny Juda ka wadhi e chuny piny manie piny gode mag Efraim kuma adakie. Asebedo Bethlehem e piny Juda kendo koro adok e od Jehova Nyasaye. Onge ngʼama oserwaka e ode.

To jogi nodagi winje. Omiyo ja-Lawino nogolo chiege momiyogi, kendo negiterore kode githuon otieno duto, to kane ochopo kogwen, to ne giweye mondo odhi. Kane ochopo gokinyi, dhakono nodok e ot kama ruodhe ne oninde, mogore piny e wangʼ dhoot kendo nonindo kanyo nyaka chiengʼ ochako rieny.

Jo-Israel okedo gi jo-Benjamin
Eka jo-Israel duto chakre Dan nyaka Bersheba, kaachiel gi joma oa e piny jo-Gilead nowuok kaka oganda achiel ma gichokore Mizpa e nyim Jehova Nyasaye. Jotend dhout Israel duto nokawo keregi e chokruok mar jo-Nyasaye, jolweny alufu mia angʼwen man-gi ligangla. Jo-Benjamin nowinjo ni jo-Israel nosedhi nyaka Mizpa. Eka jo-Israel nowacho niya, “Nyiswane kaka gima lichni notimore.”
Omiyo ja-Lawino, ma chwor dhako mane onegi, nowacho niya, “Ne adhi Gibea man Benjamin kaachiel gi chiega mondo wabuor kanyo. E otienono chwo ma Gibea noluwo bangʼa ma gilworo ot, ka gin giparo mar nega. Negiterore gi chiega githuon, mi otho.

Koro, un jo-Israel duto, wuouru kendo ungʼad bura e wachni.”
Ji duto nochungʼ mowuoyo gi dwol achiel niya, “Onge ngʼato kuomwa ka mabiro dhi dala. Ooyo, onge kata ngʼato achiel kuomwa madok e ode. To koro ma e gima wabiro timo ne Gibea: Wabiro kedo kodgi kaka ombulu owacho. Wabiro kawo chwo apar kuom chwo mia achiel moa e dhout Israel, kendo chwo mia achiel kuom ji alufu achiel, kendo alufu achiel kuom ji alufu apar, mondo ochiwre ne konyo jolweny.

Dhout Israel nooro ji e dhout Benjamin duto, kawacho niya, “Mano en tim marach manade mosetim e dieruni? Koro chiwuru jo-Gibea ma timbegi monogo mondo mi waneg-gi kendo mondo wapwodh richoni e kind Israel.”
To jo-Benjamin ne ok owinjo jowetegi ma jo-Israel. Ne giwuok e miechgi kanyakla nyaka Gibea mondo giked gi jo-Israel. Gisano sano jo-Benjamin nochoko joma nigi ligangla alufu piero ariyo gauchiel koa e miechgi, koriw gi joma oyier mia abiriyo modak Gibea.

Jo-Israel nodhi nyaka Bethel kendo gimanyo wangʼ Nyasaye. Negiwacho niya, “En dhoot mane kuomwa mabiro dhi mokwongo mondo oked gi jo-Benjamin?”

Kinyne jo-Israel nowuok kendo ne gibworo but Gibea. Jo-Israel nowuok mondo oked gi jo-Benjamin kendo negiriedo jolwenjgi mag kedo gi jo-Benjamin e piny Gibea. Jo-Benjamin nowuok Gibea kendo neginego jo-Israel alufu piero ariyo gariyo e paw kedo odiechiengno. To jo-Israel nojiwore kendgi giwegi kendo negichako giriedo jolwenjgi kaka negisetimo chiengʼ mokwongo.

Negipenjo niya, “Bende wanyalo kedo gi Benjamin ma owadwa, koso kik watim kamano?”

Eka jo-Israel nopondo machiegni gi Gibea. Negidhi mondo giked gi jo-Benjamin chiengʼ mar adek kendo negiriedo jolwenjgi Gibea mana kaka negisetimo mokwongo.

Negichako nego jo-Israel mana kaka negisetimo mokwongo, omiyo ji piero adek notho e pap kod e yore; ma achiel dhi Bethel, machielo to dhi Gibea.

Eka jo-Israel alufu apar man-gi lony kuom lweny nomonjo Gibea gi e yo ka nyimgi. Lwenygi ne tek ma jo-Benjamin ne ok ofwenyo ni masira biro tiekogi.

Jo-Benjamin nosechako nego jo-Israel (madirom piero adek), kendo negiwacho niya, “Waseloyogi mana kaka ne waloyogi e lweny mokwongo.” To ka iro nochako dhwolore malo koa e dala maduongʼ, jo-Benjamin nolokore moneno ka iro madhwolore e dalano ochomo polo. Eka jo-Israel nopor kuomgi, kendo luoro nomako jo-Benjamin matek, nikech negifwenyo ni masira osechopo kuomgi. Omiyo negiringo gia e nyim jo-Israel ka gichiko yo thim, to ne ok ginyal tony ne lweny.

Jo-Israel nosekwongʼore e piny Mizpa niya, “Onge kata achiel kuomwa mabiro chiwo nyare mondo okendi gi ja-Benjamin.”
Ji nodhi Bethel, kama ne gibetie e nyim Nyasaye nyaka odhiambo, ka gitingʼo dwondgi kendo ka giywak malit. Ne giywak niya, “Yaye Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasach Israel, angʼo momiyo ma osetimore ne Israel? Angʼo ma omiyo dhoot achiel nyalo lal e Israel kawuono?”
Kinyne gokinyi ji nogero kendo mar misango ma gichiwo misango miwangʼo pep kod misango mar lalruok.
Eka jo-Israel nopenjo niya, “En dhoot mane e kind dhout Israel duto mapok ochokore e nyim Jehova Nyasaye?” Nimar ne gisekwongʼore ni dhoot moro amora ma ok ochokore e piny Mizpa e nyim Jehova Nyasaye nyaka negi.
Koro jo-Israel ne nigi kuyo nikech owetegi, ma jo-Benjamin. Negiwacho niya, “Kawuononi dhood Israel achiel olal. Ere kaka wanyalo miyo jogo modongʼ mon, nimar wasekwongʼore e nyim Jehova Nyasaye ni ok wanamigi nyiwa mondo gikendi?” Eka negipenjo niya, “En dhoot Israel mane mane ok ochokore e piny Mizpa e nyim Jehova Nyasaye?” Negifwenyo ni onge ngʼama noa Jabesh Gilead manobiro mochokore e chokruokno.

Kendo jodong ogandano nowacho niya, “Ka oseneg mond Benjamin, ere kaka wabiro miyo jogi mane otony mon?” Negiwacho niya, “Jo-Benjamin mane otony nyaka bed gi nyithindo mabiro chamo mwandugi mondo omi dhood Israel kik tieki.

Omiyo negimiyo jo-Benjamin chik, kagiwacho niya, “Dhiuru kendo upondi e puothe mzabibu kendo uritane.
