Joshua 24
1 Joshua summoned all the tribes of Israel to Shechem. Then he called the elders, leaders, judges, and officials and they came and stood before the Tabernacle of God.
Nígbà náà ni Joṣua pe gbogbo àwọn ẹ̀yà Israẹli jọ ní Ṣekemu. Ó pe àwọn àgbàgbà, àwọn olórí, onídàájọ́ àti àwọn ìjòyè Israẹli, wọ́n sì fi ara wọn hàn níwájú Ọlọ́run.
2 Joshua said to all the people, “The Lord, the God of Israel, says this: ‘Long, long ago your forefathers, including Terah, the father of Abraham and Nahor, lived beyond the Euphrates River, and they worshiped other gods.
Joṣua sì sọ fun gbogbo ènìyàn pé, “Báyìí ni Olúwa Ọlọ́run Israẹli, wí, ‘Nígbà kan rí àwọn baba ńlá yín Tẹra baba Abrahamu àti Nahori ń gbé ní ìkọjá odò Eufurate, wọ́n sì sin àwọn òrìṣà.
3 I brought your father Abraham from beyond the Euphrates and led him through all the land of Canaan and gave him many descendants. I gave him Isaac.
Ṣùgbọ́n mo mú Abrahamu baba yín kúrò ní ìkọjá odò Eufurate, mo sì ṣe amọ̀nà rẹ̀ ni gbogbo Kenaani, mo sì fún ní àwọn ọmọ púpọ̀. Mo fún ní Isaaki,
4 I gave to Isaac Jacob and Esau. I gave to Esau the hill country of Seir to own, but Jacob and his children went down to Egypt.
àti fún Isaaki ni mo fún ní Jakọbu àti Esau, mo sì fún Esau ní ilẹ̀ orí òkè Seiri ní ìní, ṣùgbọ́n Jakọbu àti àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀ sọ̀kalẹ̀ lọ sí Ejibiti.
5 I sent Moses and Aaron, and I brought plagues on the people of Egypt, and I brought you out.
“‘Nígbà náà ni mo rán Mose àti Aaroni, mo sì yọ Ejibiti lẹ́nu ní ti nǹkan tí mo ṣe níbẹ̀, mo sì mú yín jáde.
6 Yes, I brought your forefathers out, but when you arrived at the Red Sea the Egyptians were chasing after your forefathers with chariots and horsemen.
Nígbà tí mo mú àwọn baba yín jáde kúrò ní Ejibiti, ẹ wá sí Òkun, àwọn ará Ejibiti lépa wọn pẹ̀lú kẹ̀kẹ́ ogun àti àwọn ẹlẹ́ṣin títí ó fi dé Òkun Pupa.
7 Your forefathers called out to the Lord for help, and he placed darkness between you and the Egyptians. Then he brought the sea back over them and they drowned. You saw what I did with your own eyes in Egypt. Then you lived for many years in the wilderness.
Ṣùgbọ́n wọ́n ké pe Olúwa fún ìrànlọ́wọ́, ó sì fi òkùnkùn sí àárín yín àti àwọn ará Ejibiti, ó sì mú òkun wá sí orí wọn; ó sì bò wọ́n mọ́lẹ̀. Ẹ sì fi ojú yín rí ohun tí mo ṣe sí àwọn ará Ejibiti. Lẹ́yìn náà ẹ sì gbé ní aginjù fún ọjọ́ pípẹ́.
8 After that I brought you to the land of the Amorites who lived on the other side of the Jordan. They fought against you but I handed them over to you to defeat and you took over their land. I destroyed them before you.
“‘Èmi mú yín wá sí ilẹ̀ àwọn ará Amori tí ó ń gbé ìlà-oòrùn Jordani. Wọ́n bá yín jà, ṣùgbọ́n mo fi wọ́n lé yín lọ́wọ́. Èmí pa wọ́n run kúrò níwájú u yín, ẹ sì gba ilẹ̀ ẹ wọn.
9 When Balak, son of Zippor, the king of Moab, wanted to fight against Israel, he sent for Balaam, son of Beor, to come and curse you.
Nígbà tí Balaki ọmọ Sippori, ọba Moabu, múra láti bá Israẹli jà, ó ránṣẹ́ sí Balaamu ọmọ Beori láti fi yín bú.
10 But I wasn't willing to listen to Balaam, so instead he blessed you repeatedly, and saved you from Balak.
Ṣùgbọ́n èmi kò fetí sí Balaamu, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ó súre fún un yín síwájú àti síwájú sí i, mo sì gbà yín kúrò ní ọwọ́ rẹ̀.
11 You crossed the Jordan and arrived at Jericho where the men of Jericho fought against you. So did the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Girgashites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites.
“‘Lẹ́yìn náà ni ẹ rékọjá Jordani, tí ẹ sì wá sí Jeriko. Àwọn ará ìlú Jeriko sì bá yín jà, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ará Amori, Peresi, Kenaani, Hiti, Girgaṣi, Hifi àti Jebusi. Ṣùgbọ́n mo fi wọ́n lé e yín lọ́wọ́.
12 But I handed them over to you to defeat. And I sent the hornet before you to drive out the two kings of the Amorites. You did not win using your swords or your bows!
Èmi sì rán oyin sí iwájú yín, tí ó lé wọn kúrò ní iwájú yín, àní ọba Amori méjì. Ẹ kò ṣe èyí pẹ̀lú idà yín àti ọrun yín.
13 I gave you a land you didn't work for and towns you didn't build. Now you live in them and eat from vineyards and olive groves you didn't plant.’
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni mo fún un yín ní ilẹ̀ tí ẹ̀yin kò ṣiṣẹ́ fún, àti àwọn ìlú tí ẹ̀ yin kò kọ́; ẹ sì ń gbé inú wọn, ẹ sì ń jẹ nínú ọgbà àjàrà àti ọgbà olifi tí ẹ kò gbìn.’
14 So respect the Lord and worship him, sincerely and faithfully. Get rid of the gods your forefathers worshiped beyond the Euphrates and in Egypt, and worship the Lord.
“Nísinsin yìí ẹ bẹ̀rù Olúwa, kí ẹ sì máa sìn ín ní òtítọ́ àti òdodo. Kí ẹ sì mú òrìṣà tí àwọn baba ńlá yín sìn ní ìkọjá odò Eufurate àti ní Ejibiti kúrò, kí ẹ sì máa sin Olúwa.
15 But if you don't want to worship the Lord, choose today who you want to worship! Is it going to be the gods your forefathers worshipped beyond the Euphrates? Or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you're now living? But as for me and my family, we will worship the Lord!”
Ṣùgbọ́n bí ẹ̀yin kò bá fẹ́ láti sin Olúwa, nígbà náà ẹ yàn fún ara yín ní òní ẹni tí ẹ̀yin yóò sìn bóyá òrìṣà tí àwọn baba ńlá yín sìn ní ìkọjá odò Eufurate, tàbí òrìṣà àwọn ará Amori, ní ilẹ̀ ẹni tí ẹ̀yin ń gbé. Ṣùgbọ́n ní ti èmi àti ilé mi, Olúwa ni àwa yóò máa sìn.”
16 The people responded, “We are never going to give up on the Lord and worship other gods!
Àwọn ènìyàn sì dáhùn pé, “Kí a má ri tí àwa yóò fi kọ Olúwa sílẹ̀ láti sin òrìṣà!
17 For the Lord our God brought us and our forefathers out of slavery in Egypt. He was the one who did great miracles before our very eyes. He looked after us on the way as we traveled through the lands of many nations.
Nítorí Olúwa Ọlọ́run fúnra rẹ̀ ni ó gba àwọn baba ńlá wa là kúrò ní Ejibiti, ní oko ẹrú. Òun ni Ọlọ́run tí ó ṣe iṣẹ́ ìyanu ńlá níwájú àwọn ọmọ Israẹli. Ó pa wá mọ́ nínú gbogbo ìrìnàjò wa àti ní àárín gbogbo orílẹ̀-èdè tí a là kọjá.
18 The Lord drove out before us the Amorites and all the other nations who were living in the land. So we will worship the Lord, for he is our God!”
Olúwa sì lé gbogbo àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè jáde kúrò ní iwájú wa, pẹ̀lú àwọn Amori, tí ń gbé ilẹ̀ náà. Àwa náà yóò máa sin Olúwa, nítorí òun ni Ọlọ́run wa.”
19 Joshua told the people, “Remember that the Lord is a holy and jealous God. You won't be able to worship him, and he won't forgive your rebellion and sins
Joṣua sì wí fún àwọn ènìyàn náà, pé, “Ẹ̀yin kò le sin Olúwa, nítorí Ọlọ́run mímọ́ ni òun; Ọlọ́run owú ni òun, kì yóò dárí ìrékọjá àti ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ yín jì yín.
20 if you give up on him and worship foreign gods. He will turn against you and destroy you despite all the good he has done for you.”
Bí ẹ bá kọ Olúwa tí ẹ sì sin òrìṣà orílẹ̀-èdè mìíràn òun yóò padà yóò sì mú ibi bá a yín, yóò sì pa yín run, lẹ́yìn ìgbà tí ó ti ṣe rere fún un yín tan.”
21 “Don't say that!” the people replied. “We will worship the Lord!”
Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn ènìyàn sọ fún Joṣua pé, “Bẹ́ẹ̀ kọ́! A yàn láti sin Olúwa.”
22 Then Joshua cautioned the people, “You have made yourselves witnesses against yourselves by saying that you have chosen to worship the Lord.” “Yes, we are witnesses,” the people replied.
Lẹ́yìn náà ni Joṣua wí pé, “Ẹ̀yin ni ẹlẹ́rìí ara yín pé, ẹ ti yàn láti sin Olúwa.” Wọ́n dáhùn wí pé, “Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni, àwa ni ẹlẹ́rìí.”
23 “Then get rid of those foreign gods you have and promise to be loyal only to the Lord, the God of Israel,” Joshua told them.
Nígbà náà ni Joṣua dáhùn wí pé, “Ẹ mú òrìṣà orílẹ̀-èdè mìíràn tí ń bẹ ní àárín yín kúrò, ki ẹ sì yí ọkàn yín padà sí Olúwa, Ọlọ́run Israẹli.”
24 The people said to Joshua, “We will worship the Lord our God and we will obey him.”
Àwọn ènìyàn náà sì wí fún Joṣua pé, “Olúwa Ọlọ́run nìkan ni àwa yóò máa sìn, òun nìkan ni àwa yóò máa ṣe ìgbọ́ràn sí.”
25 So Joshua made a solemn agreement between the people and the Lord that day in Shechem, obligating them to follow all the Lord's laws and instructions.
Ní ọjọ́ náà Joṣua dá májẹ̀mú fún àwọn ènìyàn, ó sì fi òfin àti ìlànà fún wọn ní Ṣekemu.
26 Joshua recorded this in the Book of the Law of God, and he set up a large stone under the oak tree near the Lord's sanctuary.
Joṣua sì kọ gbogbo ìdáhùn àwọn ènìyàn wọ̀nyí sí inú Ìwé Òfin Ọlọ́run. Lẹ́yìn náà ó gbé òkúta ńlá kan, ó gbé e kalẹ̀ ní abẹ́ igi óákù ní ẹ̀bá ibi mímọ́ Olúwa.
27 Joshua said to the people, “Look at this stone. It stands here as a witness against us for it has heard everything the Lord has told us, and it will be a witness against you if you ever deny what you have promised your God.”
“E wò ó!” ó wí fún gbogbo ènìyàn pé, “Òkúta yìí ni yóò jẹ́ ẹlẹ́rìí fún wa, nítorí ó ti gbọ́ gbogbo ọ̀rọ̀ tí Olúwa ti sọ fún wa. Yóò jẹ́ ẹlẹ́rìí yín tí ẹ bá ṣe àìṣòótọ́ sí Ọlọ́run yín.”
28 Then Joshua dismissed the people, sending them to their allotted lands.
Lẹ́yìn náà ni Joṣua jẹ́ kí àwọn ènìyàn lọ, olúkúlùkù sí ilẹ̀ ìní rẹ̀.
29 Later, after all this, Joshua, son of Nun, servant of the Lord, died at the age of one hundred and ten.
Lẹ́yìn nǹkan wọ̀nyí, Joṣua ọmọ Nuni ìránṣẹ́ Olúwa, kú ní ẹni àádọ́fà ọdún.
30 They buried him in Timnath-serah in the hill country of Ephraim, north of Mount Gaash, the land he had been allocated.
Wọ́n sì sin ín sí ilẹ̀ ìní rẹ̀, ní Timnati Serah ni ilẹ̀ orí òkè Efraimu, ní ìhà àríwá òkè Gaaṣi.
31 The Israelites continued to worship the Lord throughout Joshua's life, and throughout the lifetimes of the elders who outlived him, those who had seen all that the Lord had done for Israel.
Israẹli sì sin Olúwa ní gbogbo ọjọ́ ayé Joṣua àti ní gbogbo ọjọ́ àwọn àgbàgbà tí ó wà lẹ́yìn ikú rẹ̀ tí wọ́n sì rí gbogbo iṣẹ́ ńlá tí Olúwa ṣe fún Israẹli.
32 The bones of Joseph, which the Israelites had brought with them from Egypt, they buried in Shechem in the piece of ground Jacob had bought from the sons of Hamor, the father of Shechem, for one hundred pieces of silver. This land was inherited by Joseph's sons.
Egungun Josẹfu, èyí tí àwọn ọmọ Israẹli kó kúrò ní Ejibiti, ni wọ́n sin ní Ṣekemu ní ìpín ilẹ̀ tí Jakọbu rà fún ọgọ́rùn-ún fàdákà ní ọwọ́ Hamori, baba Ṣekemu. Èyí sì jẹ́ ilẹ̀ ìní àwọn ọmọ Josẹfu.
33 And Eleazar, son of Aaron, died and they buried him at Gibeah, in the hill country of Ephraim, land which had been given to his son Phinehas.
Eleasari ọmọ Aaroni sì kú, wọ́n sì sin ín ní Gibeah, tí a ti pín fún ọmọ rẹ̀ Finehasi ní òkè ilẹ̀ Efraimu.
