Yosiua 23
1 Fa: nodafa, Isala: ili dunu da ilima ha lai dunu huluane hasali dagoloba, Hina Gode da ilima olofosu helefisu i. Amo esoha, Yosiua da da: idafa hamoi dagoi.
After many days, when the LORD had given rest to Israel from their enemies all around, and Joshua was old and well advanced in years,
2 Amaiba: le, e da Isala: ili dunu huluane, asigilai, ouligisu dunu amola fofada: su dunu amo huluane gilisili, ilima amane sia: i, “Na da wali da: idafa hamoi dagoi.
Joshua called for all Israel, for their elders and for their heads, and for their judges and for their officers, and said to them, “I am old and well advanced in years.
3 Dilia Hina Gode da dili fidima: ne, dilima ha lai dunuma hamoi, amo dilia da ba: i dagoi. Hina Gode, Hi fawane da dili fidima: ne, dilimagale gegenanu.
You have seen all that the LORD your God has done to all these nations because of you; for it is the LORD your God who has fought for you.
4 Na da dilia gaguma: ne, soge huluane ninia dunu fi da doagala: le lai (soge da eso mabadi la: idi Yodane Hano alalo asili eso dabe la: idi da Medidela: inia Hano Wayabo Bagade) amo dilima ilegei dagoi. Amola dunu fi ninia wali hame hasali, amo ilia soge dili gaguma: ne, na da ilegei dagoi.
Behold, I have allotted to you these nations that remain, to be an inheritance for your tribes, from the Jordan, with all the nations that I have cut off, even to the great sea toward the going down of the sun.
5 Dilia da amo dunuma gegemusa: ahoasea, dilia Hina Gode da amo dunu sefasimu. Dilia Hina Gode Ea ilegele sia: i defele, dilia da ilia soge lalegagumu.
The LORD your God will thrust them out from before you, and drive them from out of your sight. You shall possess their land, as the LORD your God spoke to you.
6 Amaiba: le, hamoma: ne sia: i huluane Mousese Sema Buga ganodini dedei amo nabawane hamoma. Afae mae fisima!
“Therefore be very courageous to keep and to do all that is written in the scroll of the Torah of Moses, that you not turn away from it to the right hand or to the left;
7 Amasea, dilia da Ga: ina: ne soge dunu hame bogoi esala, ilima hame gilisimu. Dilia da ilia ogogosu ‘gode’ liligi ilia dio hame sia: mu amola ilegele sia: musa: dawa: sea, ilia dioba: le hame sia: mu amola amo ogogosu ‘gode’ liligi ilima hame sia: ne gadomu amola ilima hame begudumu.
that you not come among these nations, these that remain among you; neither make mention of the name of their gods, nor cause to swear by them, neither serve them, nor bow down yourselves to them;
8 Be amo hou fisili, dilia da musa: amoganini wali hou defele, Hina Godema dafawaneyale dawa: le fa: no bobogema.
but hold fast to the LORD your God, as you have done to this day.
9 Hina Gode da dili hasalima: ne, gasa bagade dunu fi amo sefasi dagoi. Dunu afae da dilima bu gegemu hamedei ba: i.
“For the LORD has driven great and strong nations out from before you. But as for you, no man has stood before you to this day.
10 Dilia dunu afae da gegebeba: le, eno 1000 agoane da hobeasa. Bai Hina Gode Ea ilegele sia: i defele, dili fidima: ne gegenana.
One man of you shall chase a thousand; for it is the LORD your God who fights for you, as he spoke to you.
11 Amaiba: le, dawa: ma! Dilia Hina Godema asigima!
Take good heed therefore to yourselves, that you love the LORD your God.
12 Dilia da houdafa fisili, amola Ga: ina: ne fi dunu dilia gilisisu ganodini esala ilima gilisisia, amola ilia uda lasea,
“But if you do at all go back, and hold fast to the remnant of these nations, even these who remain among you, and make marriages with them, and go in to them, and they to you;
13 noga: le dawa: ma! Dilia Hina Gode da amo dunu sefasisu amo fisimu. Be amo dunu da dilima sani agoane amola fegasu efe amola aya: gaga: nomei dilia si wadela: musa: amola amoga dilia se bagade nabimu. Amasea, dilia da se nabalu, asili, dilia dunu afae amo soge noga: i dilia Hina Gode da dilima i, amo ganodini da hamedafa ba: mu.
know for a certainty that the LORD your God will no longer drive these nations from out of your sight; but they shall be a snare and a trap to you, a scourge in your sides, and thorns in your eyes, until you perish from off this good land which the LORD your God has given you.
14 Wali, na bogomu eso da doaga: i dagoi. Dilia huluane dilia dogo ganodini amola dilia asigi dawa: su ganodini dawa: Dilia Hina Gode da liligi ida: iwane dilima imunu ilegele sia: i, amo huluane dilima i dagoi. Ea sia: i liligi huluane E da hamoi dagoi. Ea ilegele sia: i liligi afae da hame fisi.
“Behold, today I am going the way of all the earth. You know in all your hearts and in all your souls that not one thing has failed of all the good things which the LORD your God spoke concerning you. All have happened to you. Not one thing has failed of it.
15 Be E da Ea ilegele sia: i liligi huluanedafa amo hamoi, amo defele Ea sisasu huluane E da hamomu.
It shall happen that as all the good things have come on you of which the LORD your God spoke to you, so the LORD will bring on you all the evil things, until he has destroyed you from off this good land which the LORD your God has given you,
16 Dilia da gousa: su amo dilia Hina Gode da dili nabawane hamoma: ne sia: i, amo wadela: sea, amola dilia da eno ogogosu ‘gode’ liligi ilima sia: ne gadosea amola hawa: hamosea, Hina Gode da ougili dilima se imunu amola dilia dunu afae amo noga: i soge E da dilima i, amo ganodini esalebe hamedafa ba: mu.”
when you disobey the covenant of the LORD your God, which he commanded you, and go and serve other gods, and bow down yourselves to them. Then the LORD’s anger will be kindled against you, and you will perish quickly from off the good land which he has given to you.”
