< Joshua 24 >

1 Then Joshua assembled all the tribes of Israel at Shechem. He summoned the elders, leaders, judges, and officers of Israel, and they presented themselves before God.
Ket inummong ni Josue dagiti amin a tribu ti Israel idiay Sikem ken inayabanna dagiti panglakayen ti Israel, dagiti mangidadaulo kadakuada, dagiti ukomda, ken dagiti opisialda, ket dimmatagda iti imatang ti Dios.
2 And Joshua said to all the people, “This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘Long ago your fathers, including Terah the father of Abraham and Nahor, lived beyond the Euphrates and worshiped other gods.
Kinuna ni Josue kadagiti amin a tattao, “Daytoy ti ibagbaga ni Yahweh a Dios ti Israel, 'Nagnaed dagiti kapuonanyo idi un-unana a panawen iti ballasiw ti Karayan Eufrates—Ni Tera nga ama da Abraham ken Nahor—ket nagdaydayawda kadagiti sabali a dios.
3 But I took your father Abraham from beyond the Euphrates and led him through all the land of Canaan, and I multiplied his descendants. I gave him Isaac,
Ngem innalak ti amayo iti labes ti Eufrates ket impanko iti daga ti Canaan ken inikkak isuna iti adu a kaputotan babaen kenni Isaac nga anakna.
4 and to Isaac I gave Jacob and Esau. I gave Esau Mount Seir to possess, but Jacob and his sons went down to Egypt.
Ket intedko kenni Isaac da Jacob ken Esau. Intedko kenni Esau ti katurturodan a pagilian ti Sier tapno tagikuaenna, ngem simmalog ni Jacob ken dagiti annakna idiay Egipto.
5 Then I sent Moses and Aaron, and I afflicted the Egyptians by what I did there, and afterward I brought you out.
Imbaonko da Moises ken Aaron ket pinarigatko dagiti Egipcio babaen kadagiti didigra. Kalpasan dayta, inruarkayo.
6 When I brought your fathers out of Egypt and you reached the Red Sea, the Egyptians pursued them with chariots and horsemen as far as the Red Sea.
Inruarko dagiti kapuonanyo idiay Egipto ket dimtengkayo iti baybay. Kinamat ida dagiti Egipcio a nakasakay kadagiti lugan a pakigubat ken nakakabalio a lallaki agingga iti Baybay dagiti Runo.
7 So your fathers cried out to the LORD, and He put darkness between you and the Egyptians, over whom He brought the sea and engulfed them. Your very eyes saw what I did to the Egyptians. Then you lived in the wilderness for a long time.
Idi immawag dagiti kapuonanyo kenni Yahweh, nangikabil isuna iti kinasipnget iti nagbaetanyo kadagiti Egipcio. Pinagsublina ti danum iti nagbisngay a baybay ket nalmesda. Nakitayo ti inaramidko idiay Egipto. Ket nagnaedkayo idiay let-ang iti atiddog a tiempo.
8 Later, I brought you to the land of the Amorites who lived beyond the Jordan. They fought against you, but I delivered them into your hand, that you should possess their land when I destroyed them before you.
Impankayo iti daga dagiti Amorreo nga agnanaed iti ballasiw ti Jordan. Nakigubatda kadakayo ket inyawatko ida iti imayo. Tinagikuayo ti dagada ken dinadaelko ida iti sangoananyo.
9 Then Balak son of Zippor, the king of Moab, set out to fight against Israel. He sent for Balaam son of Beor to curse you,
Kalpasanna, timmakder ni Balak nga anak ni Sefor nga ari ti Moab ket rinautna ti Israel. Nangibaon isuna iti mangayab kenni Balaam nga anak ni Beor tapno ilunodnakayo.
10 but I would not listen to Balaam. So he blessed you again and again, and I delivered you from his hand.
Ngem saanak a dimngeg kenni Balaam. Pudno, binendisionannakayo. Kasta nga inispalkayo iti imana.
11 After this, you crossed the Jordan and came to Jericho. The people of Jericho fought against you, as did the Amorites, Perizzites, Canaanites, Hittites, Girgashites, Hivites, and Jebusites, and I delivered them into your hand.
Bimmallasiwkayo iti Jordan ket dimtengkayo iti Jerico. Nakigubat dagiti panguloen ti Jerico kadakayo, agraman dagiti Amorreo, dagiti Perezeo, dagiti Cananeo, dagiti Heteo, dagiti Gergeseo, dagiti Heveo, ken dagiti Jebuseo. Intedko ti panagballigiyo kadakuada ken inkabilko ida iti turayyo.
12 I sent the hornet ahead of you, and it drove out the two Amorite kings before you, but not by your own sword or bow.
Imbaonko dagiti alimbubuyog iti sangoananyo, nga isu ti nangpatalaw kadakuada ken kadagiti dua nga ari dagiti Amorreo iti sangoananyo. Saan a napasamak daytoy babaen iti kampilanyo wenno babaen iti baiyo.
13 So I gave you a land on which you did not toil and cities that you did not build, and now you live in them and eat from vineyards and olive groves that you did not plant.’
Inikkankayo iti daga a saanyo a trinabaho ken kadagiti siudad a saanyo nga impasdek, ket ita agnanaedkayo kadagitoy. Kankanenyo ti bunga dagiti kaubasan ken kaoliboan a saanyo nga immula.'
14 Now, therefore, fear the LORD and serve Him in sincerity and truth; cast aside the gods your fathers served beyond the Euphrates and in Egypt, and serve the LORD.
Ita, agbuteng ken agdayawkayo kenni Yahweh iti amin a kinadalus ken kinapudno; ikkatenyo dagiti dios a dinaydayaw dagiti kapuonanyo iti ballasiw ti Eufrates ken idiay Egipto, ket agdayawkayo kenni Yahweh.
15 But if it is unpleasing in your sight to serve the LORD, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your fathers served beyond the Euphrates, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you are living. As for me and my house, we will serve the LORD!”
No ipagarupyo a dakes iti panagkitayo ti agdayaw kenni Yahweh, agpilikayo para kadagiti bagbagiyo iti daytoy nga aldaw no siasino ti pagserbianyo, no dagiti dios a dinaydayaw dagiti kapuonanyo iti ballasiw ti Eufrates wenno dagiti dios dagiti Amorreo a makindaga iti pagnanaedanyo. Ngem no maipapan kaniak ken ti balayko, agdayawkami kenni Yahweh.”
16 The people replied, “Far be it from us to forsake the LORD to serve other gods!
Simmungbat dagiti tattao ket kinunada, “Saanmi pulos a panawan ni Yahweh tapno agserbikami kadagiti sabali a dios,
17 For the LORD our God brought us and our fathers out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery, and performed these great signs before our eyes. He also protected us throughout our journey and among all the nations through which we traveled.
ta ni Yahweh a Diostayo ti nangiruar kadatayo ken kadagiti kapuonantayo manipud iti daga ti Egipto, manipud iti balay ti pannakatagabu, ken ti nangaramid kadagidiay naindaklan a pagilasinan iti imatangtayo, ken ti nangaywankadatayo iti amin a dalan a nagnaantayo ken kadagiti amin a nasion a linasattayo.
18 And the LORD drove out before us all the nations, including the Amorites who lived in the land. We too will serve the LORD, because He is our God!”
Ket pinagtalaw ni Yahweh iti sangoanantayo dagiti amin a tattao, dagiti Amorreo a nagnaed iti daytoy a daga. Isu nga agdayawkami met kenni Yahweh ta isuna ti Diostayo.”
19 But Joshua said to the people, “You are not able to serve the LORD, for He is a holy God; He is a jealous God; He will not forgive your rebellion or your sins.
Ngem kinuna ni Josue kadagiti tattao, “Saanyo a mabalin ti agserbi kenni Yahweh ta nasantoan isuna a Dios; managimon isuna a Dios; saanna a pakawanen dagiti panaglabsing ken basbasolyo.
20 If you forsake the LORD and serve foreign gods, He will turn and bring disaster on you and consume you, even after He has been good to you.”
No panawanyo ni Yahweh ket agdayawkayo kadagiti ganggannaet a dios, ket agbaw-ingto isuna ken dangrannakayo. Pukawennakayonto, kalpasan a nagaramid isuna iti naimbag kadakayo.”
21 “No!” replied the people. “We will serve the LORD!”
Ngem kinuna dagiti tattao kenni Josue, “Saan, agdayawkami kenni Yahweh.”
22 Then Joshua told them, “You are witnesses against yourselves that you have chosen to serve the LORD.” “We are witnesses!” they said.
Ket kinuna ni Josue kadagiti tattao, “Dakayo dagiti saksi a maibusor kadagiti bagbagiyo a piniliyo ti agdayaw kenni Yahweh.” Kinunada, “Dakami dagiti saksi.”
23 “Now, therefore,” he said, “get rid of the foreign gods among you and incline your hearts to the LORD, the God of Israel.”
“Ita, ikkatenyo dagiti sabali a dios nga adda kadakayo ket ibaw-ingyo dagiti pusoyo kenni Yahweh a Dios ti Israel.”
24 So the people said to Joshua, “We will serve the LORD our God and obey His voice.”
Kinuna dagiti tattao kenni Josue, “Agdayawkami kenni Yahweh a Diostayo. Dumngegkami iti timekna.”
25 On that day Joshua made a covenant for the people, and there at Shechem he established for them a statute and ordinance.
Nangaramid ni Josue iti katulagan kadagiti tattao iti dayta nga aldaw. Nangipaulog isuna kadagiti alagaden ken linlinteg idiay Sikem.
26 Joshua recorded these things in the Book of the Law of God. Then he took a large stone and set it up there under the oak that was near the sanctuary of the LORD.
Insurat ni Josue dagitoy a sasao iti Libro ti Linteg ti Dios. Nangala isuna iti dakkel a bato ket insaadna iti sirok ti kayo a lugo iti asideg ti santuario ni Yahweh.
27 And Joshua said to all the people, “You see this stone. It will be a witness against us, for it has heard all the words the LORD has spoken to us, and it will be a witness against you if you ever deny your God.”
Kinuna ni Josue kadagiti amin a tattao, “Kitaenyo! Agbalin a pammaneknek daytoy a bato a maibusor kadatayo. Nangngeg daytoy dagiti amin a sasao nga imbaga ni Yahweh kadatayo. Isu nga agbalin daytoy a saksi a maibusor kadakayo, no ilaksidyo ti Diosyo.”
28 Then Joshua sent the people away, each to his own inheritance.
Pinagawid ngarud ni Josue dagiti tattao, ti tunggal maysa iti bukodna a tawid.
29 Some time later, Joshua son of Nun, the servant of the LORD, died at the age of 110.
Kalpasan dagitoy a banbanag, natay ni Josue nga anak ni Nun, nga adipen ni Yahweh nga addaan iti 110 a tawen.
30 And they buried him in the land of his inheritance, at Timnath-serah in the hill country of Ephraim, north of Mount Gaash.
Intabonda isuna iti beddeng ti bukodna a tawid idiay Timnatsera, nga adda iti katurturodan a pagilian ti Efraim, iti amianan ti Bantay Gaas.
31 Israel had served the LORD throughout the days of Joshua and of the elders who outlived him and who had experienced all the works that the LORD had done for Israel.
Nagdaydayaw ti Israel kenni Yahweh iti amin nga aldaw ni Josue, ken iti amin nga aldaw dagiti panglakayen a nabati a nagbiag iti at-atiddog ngem kenni Josue, isuda a nakapadas kadagiti amin nga inaramid ni Yahweh iti Israel.
32 And the bones of Joseph, which the Israelites had brought up out of Egypt, were buried at Shechem in the plot of land that Jacob had purchased from the sons of Hamor, Shechem’s father, for a hundred pieces of silver. So it became an inheritance for Joseph’s descendants.
Inkalida idiay Sikem, iti paset ti daga a ginatang ni Jacob kadagiti annak ni Hamor nga ama ni Sikem, dagiti tulang ni Jose nga innala dagiti tattao ti Israel idiay Egipto. Ginatangna daytoy a daga iti sangagasut a bagi ti pirak ken nagbalin daytoy a tawid para kadagiti kaputotan ni Jose.
33 Eleazar son of Aaron also died, and they buried him at Gibeah, which had been given to his son Phinehas in the hill country of Ephraim.
Natay met ni Eleazar nga anak ni Aaron. Intabonda isuna idiay Gibea a siudad ni Finees nga anakna, a naited kenkuana. Adda daytoy iti katurturodan a pagilian ti Efraim.
