Joshua 23
1 And a long season after that the Lord had giuen rest vnto Israel from all their enemies round about, and Ioshua was olde, and stricken in age,
Lẹ́yìn ọjọ́ pípẹ́, nígbà tí Olúwa sì ti fún Israẹli ní ìsinmi kúrò ní ọwọ́ àwọn ọ̀tá wọn tí ó yí wọn ká, nígbà náà Joṣua sì ti di arúgbó.
2 Then Ioshua called all Israel, and their Elders, and their heads, and their iudges, and their officers, and said vnto them, I am old, and stricken in age.
Ó sì pe gbogbo Israẹli jọ: àgbàgbà wọn, olórí wọn, adájọ́ àti àwọn ìjòyè, ó sì sọ fún wọn pé, “Èmi ti pọ̀ ní ọdún èmi ti di arúgbó.
3 Also ye haue seene all that the Lord your God hath done vnto al these nations before you, howe the Lord your God him selfe hath fought for you.
Ẹ̀yin tìkára yín sì ti rí ohun gbogbo tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín ti ṣe sí gbogbo orílẹ̀-èdè wọ̀nyí nítorí yín, Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín ni ó jà fún yín.
4 Beholde, I haue deuided vnto you by lot these nations that remaine, to be an inheritance according to your tribes, from Iorden, with all the nations that I haue destroyed, euen vnto the great Sea Westward.
Ẹ rántí bí mo ṣe pín ogún ìní fún àwọn ẹ̀yà yín ní ilẹ̀ orílẹ̀-èdè gbogbo tí ó kù; àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè tí mo ti ṣẹ́gun ní àárín Jordani àti Òkun Ńlá ní ìwọ̀-oòrùn.
5 And the Lord your God shall expell them before you, and cast them out of your sight, and ye shall possesse their land, as the Lord your God hath said vnto you.
Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín fúnra rẹ̀ yóò lé wọn jáde kúrò ní ọ̀nà yín, yóò sì tì wọ́n jáde ní iwájú yín, ẹ̀yin yóò sì gba ilẹ̀ ìní wọn, gẹ́gẹ́ bí Olúwa Ọlọ́run ti ṣe ìlérí fún yín.
6 Be ye therefore of a valiant courage, to obserue and doe all that is written in the booke of the Lawe of Moses, that ye turne not therefrom to the right hand nor to the left,
“Ẹ jẹ́ alágbára gidigidi, kí ẹ sì ṣọ́ra láti ṣe ìgbọ́ràn sí ohun tí a kọ sí inú ìwé òfin Mose, láìyí padà sí ọ̀tún tàbí sí òsì.
7 Neither companie with these nations: that is, with them which are left with you, neither make mention of the name of their gods, nor cause to sweare by them, neither serue them nor bowe vnto them:
Ẹ má ṣe ní àjọṣepọ̀ pẹ̀lú àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè tí ó ṣẹ́kù láàrín yín; ẹ má ṣe pe orúkọ òrìṣà wọn tàbí kí ẹ fi wọ́n búra. Ẹ kò gbọdọ̀ sìn wọ́n tàbí ki ẹ tẹríba fún wọn.
8 But sticke fast vnto the Lord your God, as ye haue done vnto this day.
Ṣùgbọ́n ẹ di Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín mú ṣinṣin gẹ́gẹ́ bí ẹ ti ń ṣe tẹ́lẹ̀ títí di àkókò yìí.
9 For ye Lord hath cast out before you great nations and mightie, and no man hath stand before your face hitherto.
“Olúwa ti lé àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè ńlá àti alágbára kúrò níwájú yín; títí di òní yìí kò sí ẹnìkan tí ó le dojúkọ yín.
10 One man of you shall chase a thousand: for the Lord your God, he fighteth for you, as he hath promised you.
Ọ̀kan nínú yín lé ẹgbẹ̀rún ọ̀tá, nítorí tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín jà fún yín gẹ́gẹ́ bí ó ti ṣe ìlérí.
11 Take good heede therefore vnto your selues, that ye loue the Lord your God.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kí ẹ ṣọ́ra gidigidi láti fẹ́ràn Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín.
12 Els, if ye goe backe, and cleaue vnto the rest of these nations: that is, of them that remaine with you, and shall make marriages with them, and goe vnto them, and they to you,
“Ṣùgbọ́n bí ẹ bá yí padà, tí ẹ sì gba ìmọ̀ pọ̀ pẹ̀lú àwọn tó ṣẹ́kù lára àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè tí ó kù láàrín yín, tí ẹ sì ń fọmọ fún ara yín ní ìyàwó, tí ẹ sì bá wọn ní àjọṣepọ̀.
13 Knowe ye for certaine, that the Lord your God will cast out no more of these nations from before you: but they shall be a snare and destruction vnto you, and a whip on your sides, and thornes in your eyes, vntill ye perish out of this good land, which ye Lord your God hath giue you.
Nígbà náà ni ẹ ó mọ̀ dájú pé Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín kì yóò lé àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè wọ̀nyí jáde mọ́ kúrò níwájú yín. Dípò èyí, wọn yóò jẹ́ ìkẹ́kùn àti tàkúté fún un yín, pàṣán ní ẹ̀yin yín àti ẹ̀gún ní ojú yín, títí ẹ ó fi ṣègbé kúrò ní ilẹ̀ dáradára yí, èyí tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín ti fi fún yín.
14 And beholde, this day do I enter into the way of all ye world, and ye know in al your heartes and in all your soules, that nothing hath failed of all the good things which the Lord your God promised you, but all are come to passe vnto you: nothing hath failed thereof.
“Nísinsin yìí èmi ti fẹ́ máa lọ sí ibi tí àwọn àgbà ń rè. Ẹ mọ̀ pẹ̀lú gbogbo ọkàn yín àti àyà yín pé, kò sí ohun kan tí ó kùnà nínú àwọn ìlérí rere gbogbo tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín fi fún un yín. Gbogbo ìlérí tó ti ṣe kò sí ọ̀kan tí ó kùnà.
15 Therefore as all good things are come vpon you, which the Lord your God promised you, so shall the Lord bring vpon you euery euill thing, vntill he haue destroyed you out of this good land, which ye Lord your God hath giue you.
Ṣùgbọ́n gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìlérí dáradára gbogbo ti Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín ti wá sí ìmúṣẹ, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Olúwa yóò mú ibi gbogbo tí ó ti kìlọ̀ wá sí orí yín, títí yóò fi pa yín run kúrò ní ilẹ̀ dáradára tí ó ti fi fún un yín.
16 When ye shall transgresse the couenant of the Lord your God, which he commanded you, and shall goe and serue other gods, and bowe your selues to them, then shall the wrath of the Lord waxe hote against you, and ye shall perish quickely out of the good lande which he hath giuen you.
