Yosiua 1
1 Hina Gode Ea hawa: hamosu dunu Mousese da bogoi dagoloba, Hina Gode da Mousese ea fidisu dunu amo Yosiua (Nane egefe) ema sia: i.
After Moses, who served Yahweh [well], died, Yahweh said to Nun’s son Joshua, who had been Moses’ assistant,
2 E amane sia: i, “Na hawa: hamosu dunu Mousese da bogoi dagoi. Defea! Di amola Isala: ili dunu huluane, dilia liligi momagele, Yodane Hano degele, soge amo Na da dilima iaha amo ganodini golili sa: ima.
“[You know that] my servant Moses is [now] dead. So now get ready to lead all these [Israeli] people across the Jordan [River]. Enter the land that I will soon give to you.
3 Na da Mousesema sia: i defele, Na da di amola Na fi dunu huluane dilima soge huluane dilia osa: gimu, amo dilima imunu.
I will give to you all the land that you walk on, as I promised Moses.
4 Dilia soge alalo da wadela: i hafoga: i soge ga (south) diala amoga asili Lebanone Goumi ga (north) doaga: mu. Eso mabadi la: idi Iufala: idisi Hano amoga asili dilia Hidaide dunu ilia soge huluane lale, eso dabe la: idi Medidela: inia Hano Wayabo Bagade amoga doaga: mu.
That land will extend from the desert [in the south], to the Lebanon [Mountains in the northwest], and to the big Euphrates River [in the northeast], and to the Mediterranean Sea on the west. [It will include] all the land where the descendants of Heth [live].
5 Yosiua! Di esalea, eno dunu da di hasalimu hamedei ba: mu. Na da Mousese fidi, amo defele eso huluane di fidimu. Na da di hamedafa fisimu.
No group will be able to oppose [and defeat] you during your life. I will help you as I helped Moses. I will always be with [LIT] you; I will never forsake you.
6 Di gasa bagade mae beda: iwane esaloma. Na fi dunu da soge, Na da ilia aowalali ilima imunu ilegele sia: i, amo gesowale fisia, di da ilima bisili ahoasu ouligisu dunu esalumu.
“Be strong and courageous, because you are the one who will lead these Israeli people [and enable them] to possess the land that I solemnly promised to their ancestors that I would give them.
7 Be di gasa bagade mae beda: iwane esaloma. Hamoma: ne sia: i huluane Na hawa: hamosu dunu Mousese da dima i, amo nabawane hamoma. Dia hou huluane hahawane ba: ma: ne, amo hamoma: ne sia: i huluane noga: le fa: no bobogema.
Just be strong and very courageous. Be sure to obey all the laws that my servant Moses gave to you. In order that you may be successful wherever you go, do not stop obeying any of them [IDM].
8 Dilia da Nama nodone sia: ne gadosea, eso huluane amo sema buga idima. Eso amola gasi, ea bai hogole ba: ma. Liligi huluane amo ganodini dedei noga: le nabima. Amasea, dilia da bagade gagui amola hou huluane didili hamone, hahawane ba: mu.
Make sure to habitually read [to the people some of] the laws [that God gave Moses]. Meditate on those laws [every] day and [every] night. And be sure to obey all those laws. If you do that, you will be successful in everything that you do [DOU].
9 Mae gogolema! Na da di gasa bagade amola mae beda: iwane hamoma: ne sia: i. Mae da: i dioma amola mae beda: ma! Bai Na, dilia Hina Gode, Na da dilia ahoabe huluane amo sigi ahoa.
Do not forget [RHQ] that I have commanded you to be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid, and do not be discouraged, because I, Yahweh, your God, will (be with/help) you wherever you go.”
10 Amalalu, Yosiua da Isala: ili fi ouligisu dunu ilima amane sia: i,
Then Joshua commanded the leaders of the people of Israel,
11 “Abula diasu gilisisu amo ganodini asili, Isala: ili dunuma amane sia: ma, ‘Ha: i manu momagema. Bai eso udiana asili dilia da Yodane Hano degele, soge amo dilia Hina Gode da dilima iaha amo gesowale fimu.’
“Go throughout the camp and tell the people this: ‘Prepare all the food that you will take with you, because the day after tomorrow you will cross this Jordan [River], in order to possess the land that Yahweh, our God, is about to give you.’”
12 Yosiua da fi mogili amo Liubene, Ga: de amola Eso Mabadi la: idi Mana: se fi ilima amane sia: i,
But to the [clans that were] descendants of Reuben and Gad, and to the half clan [that were descendants] of Manasseh, Joshua said,
13 “Dawa: ma! Hina Gode Ea hawa: hamosu dunu Mousese da dilia Hina Gode da soge Yodane Hano dilia wali lela amo eso mabadi la: idi amo, dili fima: ne dilima imunu sia: i.
“Do not forget what Moses, the servant of Yahweh, commanded you: ‘Yahweh, your God, has given you this land in order that you can [live here] safely/peacefully.’
14 Dilia uda, mano amola ohe fi da guiguda: esaloma. Be dilia dadi gagui dunu ilia gegesu liligi gaguli, dilia eno na: iyado Isala: ili dunu amo fidima: ne, ilima bisili hano degema.
Your wives and your children and your livestock may stay [here] in this land on the east side of the Jordan [River], but all your soldiers must cross [the river], ahead of the people of the other tribes. They must take all their weapons with them. You must continue to help your fellow Israelis
15 Ilia da Yodane Hano eso dabe la: idi soge amo dilia Hina Gode da ilima i, amo gesowale fima: ne dilia fidima. Ilia da amo soge lai dagosea, dilia buhagili, soge Yodane Hano eso mabadi la: idi amo Hina Gode Ea hawa: hamosu dunu Mousese da dilima i, amo ganodini fima.”
until they are able to live there safely/peacefully, as Yahweh has enabled you to do. You must help them until after they have conquered all the people in the land that Yahweh, your God, is giving them. After that, your soldiers may return to live in this land that Moses gave to you here on the east side of the Jordan [River].”
16 Isala: ili dunu da Yosiuama bu adole i, “Defea! Ninia da dia sia: i huluane hamomu. Dia adi sogega nini asunahoasea, ninia da amogai masunu.
The people answered Joshua, “We will do everything that you have commanded us to do, and we will go wherever you tell us to go.
17 Ninia da Mousese ea sia: nabasu, amo defele dia sia: nabimu. Amola dia Hina Gode da Mousese fidi amo defele E da di fidimu da defea.
As we obeyed all that Moses told us to do, we will obey all that you tell us to do. We pray that Yahweh will (be with/help) you as he (was with/helped) Moses.
18 Nowa da dia sia: hame nabasea, amo dunu ninia da medole legemu. Be di gasa bagade amola mae beda: iwane hamoma!”
Anyone who (rejects what you say/opposes you) and does not obey what you command [DOU], we will execute. But we want you to be strong and courageous!”
