< Joshua 1 >

1 Now after the death of His servant Moses, the LORD spoke to Joshua son of Nun, Moses’ assistant, saying,
Lẹ́yìn ikú u Mose ìránṣẹ́ Olúwa, Olúwa sọ fún Joṣua ọmọ Nuni, olùrànlọ́wọ́ ọ Mose,
2 “Moses My servant is dead. Now therefore arise, you and all these people, and cross over the Jordan into the land that I am giving to the children of Israel.
“Mose ìránṣẹ́ mi ti kú. Nísinsin yìí, ìwọ àti gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn wọ̀nyí, ẹ múra láti kọjá odò Jordani lọ sí ilẹ̀ tí Èmi ó fi fún wọn fún àwọn ará Israẹli.
3 I have given you every place where the sole of your foot will tread, just as I promised to Moses.
Èmi yóò fún un yín ní gbogbo ibi tí ẹ bá fi ẹsẹ̀ ẹ yín tẹ̀, gẹ́gẹ́ bí mo ti ṣe ìlérí fún Mose.
4 Your territory shall extend from the wilderness and Lebanon to the great River Euphrates—all the land of the Hittites—and west as far as the Great Sea.
Ilẹ̀ ẹ yín yóò fẹ̀ láti aginjù Lebanoni, àti láti odò ńlá, ti Eufurate—gbogbo orílẹ̀-èdè Hiti títí ó fi dé Òkun Ńlá ní ìwọ̀-oòrùn.
5 No one shall stand against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so will I be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you.
Kì yóò sí ẹnikẹ́ni tí yóò le è dúró níwájú rẹ ní ọjọ́ ayé è rẹ gbogbo. Bí mo ti wà pẹ̀lú u Mose, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Èmi yóò wà pẹ̀lú rẹ, Èmi kì yóò fi ọ́ sílẹ̀, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Èmi kì yóò kọ̀ ọ́.
6 Be strong and courageous, for you shall give these people the inheritance of the land that I swore to their fathers I would give them.
“Jẹ́ alágbára kí o sì mú àyà le, nítorí ìwọ ni yóò ṣe amọ̀nà àwọn ènìyàn wọ̀nyí, láti lè jogún ilẹ̀ tí mo ti búra fún àwọn baba ńlá a wọn láti fi fún wọn.
7 Above all, be strong and very courageous. Be careful to observe all the law that My servant Moses commanded you. Do not turn from it to the right or to the left, so that you may prosper wherever you go.
Jẹ́ alágbára, kí o sì mú àyà le gidigidi. Kí o sì ṣọ́ra láti pa gbogbo òfin tí Mose ìránṣẹ́ mi fún ọ mọ́, má ṣe yà kúrò nínú u rẹ̀ sí ọ̀tún tàbí sí òsì, kí ìwọ kí ó lè ṣe rere níbikíbi tí ìwọ bá ń lọ.
8 This Book of the Law must not depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. For then you will prosper and succeed in all you do.
Má ṣe jẹ́ kí ìwé òfin yìí kúrò ní ẹnu rẹ, máa ṣe àṣàrò nínú u rẹ̀ ní ọ̀sán àti ní òru, kí ìwọ kí ó lè ṣọ́ra láti ṣe gbogbo nǹkan tí a kọ sí inú u rẹ̀. Nígbà náà ni yóò dára fún ọ, ìwọ yóò sì ní àṣeyọrí.
9 Have I not commanded you to be strong and courageous? Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.”
Èmi kò ha ti pàṣẹ fún ọ bí? Jẹ́ alágbára kí o sì mú àyà le. Má ṣe bẹ̀rù, má sì ṣe rẹ̀wẹ̀sì, nítorí pé Olúwa à rẹ yóò wà pẹ̀lú rẹ ní ibikíbi tí ìwọ bá ń lọ.”
10 Then Joshua commanded the officers of the people:
Báyìí ni Joṣua pàṣẹ fún olórí àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀,
11 “Go through the camp and tell the people, ‘Prepare your provisions, for within three days you will cross the Jordan to go in and take possession of the land that the LORD your God is giving you to possess.’”
“Ẹ la ibùdó já, kí ẹ sì sọ fún àwọn ènìyàn, ‘Ẹ pèsè oúnjẹ yín sílẹ̀. Ní ìwòyí ọ̀túnla, ẹ̀yin yóò la Jordani yìí kọjá, láti gba ilẹ̀ tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín fi fún un yín láti ní.’”
12 But to the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh, Joshua said,
Ṣùgbọ́n Joṣua sọ fún àwọn ará a Reubeni, àwọn ará Gadi àti fún ìdajì ẹ̀yà Manase pé,
13 “Remember what Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you when he said, ‘The LORD your God will give you rest, and He will give you this land.’
“Rántí àṣẹ tí Mose ìránṣẹ́ Olúwa pa fún yín: ‘Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín á fún yin ní ìsinmi, òun yóò sì fún un yín ní ilẹ̀ yìí.’
14 Your wives, your young children, and your livestock may remain in the land that Moses gave you on this side of the Jordan. But all your mighty men of valor must be armed for battle to cross over ahead of your brothers and help them,
Àwọn ìyàwó yín, àwọn ọmọ yín àti àwọn ẹran ọ̀sìn yín lè dúró ní ilẹ̀ tí Mose fún un yin ní ìlà-oòrùn Jordani; ṣùgbọ́n gbogbo àwọn jagunjagun un yín, pẹ̀lú ìhámọ́ra ogun gbọdọ̀ kọjá síwájú àwọn arákùnrin yín. Ẹ̀yin yóò sì rán àwọn arákùnrin yín lọ́wọ́
15 until the LORD gives them rest as He has done for you, and your brothers also possess the land that the LORD your God is giving them. Then you may return to the land of your inheritance and take possession of that which Moses the servant of the LORD gave you on the east side of the Jordan.”
títí Olúwa yóò fi fún wọn ní ìsinmi, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ó ti ṣe fún un yín, àti títí tí àwọn pẹ̀lú yóò fi gba ilẹ̀ náà tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín fi fún wọn. Lẹ́yìn náà, ẹ̀yin lè padà sí ilẹ̀ ìní in yín, tí Mose ìránṣẹ́ Olúwa fi fún un yin ní agbègbè ìlà-oòrùn ti Jordani.”
16 So they answered Joshua, “Everything you have commanded us we will do, and everywhere you send us we will go.
Nígbà náà ni wọ́n dá Joṣua lóhùn pé, “Ohunkóhun tí ìwọ pàṣẹ fún wa ni àwa yóò ṣe, ibikíbi tí ìwọ bá rán wa ni àwa yóò lọ.
17 Just as we obeyed Moses in all things, so we will obey you. And may the LORD your God be with you, as He was with Moses.
Gẹ́gẹ́ bí àwa ti gbọ́rọ̀ sí Mose nínú ohun gbogbo, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni àwa yóò máa gbọ́ tìrẹ. Kí Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ wà pẹ̀lú rẹ, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ó ṣe wà pẹ̀lú u Mose.
18 Anyone who rebels against your order and does not obey your words, all that you command him, will be put to death. Above all, be strong and courageous!”
Ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá tàpá sí ọ̀rọ̀ rẹ, tí kò sì ṣe ìgbọ́ràn sí ọ̀rọ̀ rẹ nínú ohun gbogbo tí ìwọ yóò pàṣẹ fún wọn, pípa ni a ó pa á. Kí ìwọ sá à ṣe gírí, kí ó sì mú àyà le!”
