< Joshua 1 >
1 Now it came to pass after the death of Moses the servant of the Lord, that the Lord spoke to Josue the son of Nun, the minister of Moses, and said to him:
Zvino shure kwokufa kwaMozisi muranda waJehovha, Jehovha akataura naJoshua mwanakomana waNuni, muranda waMozisi achiti,
2 Moses my servant is dead: arise, and pass over this Jordan, thou and thy people with thee, into the land which I will give to the children of Israel.
“Mozisi muranda wangu afa. Zvino iwe navanhu ava chigadzirirai kuyambuka rwizi rweJorodhani mupinde munyika yandava kupa vana vaIsraeri.
3 I will deliver to you every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, as I have said to Moses.
Ndakupai nzvimbo yose yose yamuchatsika netsoka dzenyu, sezvandakavimbisa Mozisi.
4 From the desert and from Libanus unto the great river Euphrates, all the land of the Hethites unto the great sea toward the going; down of the sun, shall be your border.
Nyika yenyu ichabva kugwenga ichisvika kuRebhanoni, uye ichabva kurwizi rukuru, Yufuratesi, nenyika yose yavaHiti, ichisvika kuGungwa Guru riri kumavirazuva.
5 No man shall be able to resist you all the days of thy life: as I have been with Moses, so will I be with thee: I will not leave thee, nor forsake thee.
Hakuna achagona kurwisana newe kwamazuva ose oupenyu hwako. Sezvandaiva naMozisi, ndichava newe; handizokusiyi kana kukurasa.
6 Take courage, and be strong: for thou shalt divide by lot to this people the land, for which I swore to their fathers, that I would deliver it to them.
“Simba utsunge mwoyo, nokuti uchatungamirira vanhu ava kuti vatore nyika yandakapikira madzitateguru avo kuti ndivape senhaka yavo.
7 Take courage therefore, and be very valiant: that thou mayst observe and do all the law, which Moses my servant hath commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayst understand all things which thou dost.
Simba ushinge kwazvo. Chenjerera kuti uteerere mirayiro yose yawakapiwa naMozisi muranda wangu; usatsaukira kurudyi kana kuruboshwe, kuti ubudirire kwose kwose kwaunoenda.
8 Let not the book of this law depart from thy mouth: but thou shalt meditate on it day and night, that thou mayst observe and do all things that are written in it: then shalt thou direct thy way, and understand it.
Bhuku iri romurayiro harifaniri kubva pamuromo wako; fungisisa pamusoro paro usiku namasikati, kuti uchenjerere kuita zvose zvakanyorwa mariri uye ipapo uchabudirira kwazvo.
9 Behold I command thee, take courage, and be strong. Fear not and be not dismayed: because the Lord thy God is with thee in all things whatsoever thou shalt go to.
Handina kukurayira here? Simba utsunge mwoyo. Usavhunduka; usaora mwoyo, nokuti Jehovha Mwari wako achava newe kwose kwaunoenda.”
10 And Josue commanded the princes of the people, saying: Pass through the midst of the camp, and command the people, and say:
Ipapo Joshua akarayira vatungamiri vavanhu achiti,
11 Prepare you victuals: for after the third day you shall pass over the Jordan and shall go in to possess the land, which the Lord your God will give you.
“Pindai mumusasa mutaurire vanhu kuti, ‘Gadzirirai mbuva yenyu. Mukati memazuva matatu muchayambuka Jorodhani urwu kuti mupinde mutore nyika yamunopiwa naJehovha Mwari wenyu kuti ive yenyu.’”
12 And he said to the Rubenites, and the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasses:
Uye Joshua akati kurudzi rwaRubheni, norudzi rwaGadhi nokuhafu yorudzi rwaManase,
13 Remember the word, which Moses the servant of the Lord commanded you, saying: The Lord your God hath given you rest, and all this land.
“Rangarirai shoko ramakapiwa naMozisi muranda waJehovha achiti: ‘Jehovha Mwari wenyu anokupai zororo uye akupai nyika iyi.’
14 Your wives, and children, and cattle shall remain in the land which Moses gave you on this side of the Jordan: but pass you over armed before your brethren, all of you that are strong of hand, and fight for them,
Vakadzi venyu, vana venyu nezvipfuwo zvenyu zvichasara munyika yamakapiwa naMozisi kudivi rino reJorodhani, asi varume venyu vose vehondo, vakabata zvombo, vanofanira kuyambukira mhiri mberi kwehama dzenyu. Munofanira kubatsira hama dzenyu
15 Until the Lord give rest to your brethren as he hath given you, and they also possess the land which the Lord your God will give them: and so you shall return into the land of your possession, and you shall dwell in it, which Moses the servant of the Lord gave you beyond the Jordan, toward the rising of the sun.
kusvikira Jehovha avapa zororo, sezvaakakuitirai, uye kusvikira vatorawo nyika yavari kupiwa naJehovha Mwari wavo. Mushure maizvozvo, munogona kudzokera munogara munyika yenyu, yamakapiwa naMozisi muranda waJehovha iri kumabvazuva kweJorodhani.”
16 And they made answer to Josue, and said: All that thou hast commanded us we will do; and whithersoever thou shalt send us, we will go.
Ipapo vakapindura Joshua vachiti, “Chipi nechipi chamuchatirayira tichaita, uye kwose kwose kwamuchatituma tichaenda.
17 As we obeyed Moses in all things, so will we obey thee also: only be the Lord thy God with thee, as he was with Moses.
Tichakuteererai zvizere sokuteerera kwatakaita Mozisi. Chete, Jehovha Mwari wenyu ngaave nemi sezvaaiva naMozisi.
18 He that shall gainsay thy mouth, and not obey all thy words, that thou shalt command him, let him die: only take thou courage, and do manfully.
Ani naani achamukira shoko renyu uye asingateereri mashoko enyu, kana chipi nechipi chamungavarayira, achaurayiwa. Asi simbai mutsunge mwoyo!”
