Joshua 23

1 And it came to pass after many days, when the LORD had given rest unto Israel from all their enemies round about, and Joshua was old and well stricken in years;

Tukun pacl loeloes, LEUM GOD El sang misla nu sin mwet Israel liki mwet lokoalok lalos. In pacl sac, Joshua el arulana matuoh.

2 that Joshua called for all Israel, for their elders and for their heads, and for their judges and for their officers, and said unto them, I am old and well stricken in years:

Na el pangoneni mwet Israel nukewa, mwet matu, mwet kol, mwet nununku, mwet leum lalos, ac fahk nu selos, “Nga arulana matuoh inge, ac pacl luk apkuranme.

3 and ye have seen all that the LORD your God hath done unto all these nations because of you; for the LORD your God, he it is that hath fought for you.

Kowos liye tari ma nukewa ma LEUM GOD lowos El oru nu sin mutunfacl inge nukewa keiwos. LEUM GOD lowos El mweun keiwos.

4 Behold, I have allotted unto you these nations that remain, to be an inheritance for your tribes, from Jordan, with all the nations that I have cut off, even unto the great sea toward the going down of the sun.

Liye, nga kitalik tari nu sin sruf lun Israel mutunfacl nukewa su nga sruokya ke mweun oayapa mutunfacl su soenna sruhu, mutawauk Infacl Jordan su oan kutulap, fahla nwe Meoa Mediterranean, su oan roto.

5 And the LORD your God, he shall thrust them out from before you, and drive them from out of your sight; and ye shall possess their land, as the LORD your God spake unto you.

LEUM GOD lowos El ac fah oru tuh elos in kaingkin kowos, ac El fah luselosyak liki ye motowos. Kowos ac fah eis facl selos, oana LEUM GOD lowos El tuh wulela nu suwos.

6 Therefore be ye very courageous to keep and to do all that is written in the book of the law of Moses, that ye turn not aside therefrom to the right hand or to the left;

Ke ma inge, kowos in arulana karinganang ac akos ma nukewa ma simla in book in Ma Sap lal Moses, ac nik kowos kuhfla liki.

7 that ye come not among these nations, these that remain among you; neither make mention of the name of their gods, nor cause to swear [by them], neither serve them, nor bow down yourselves unto them:

Kowos fah tia asruoki yurin mwetsac su lula in masrlowos, ku fahk inen god lalos, ku fulahk ke inen god lalos, ku epasr nu selos.

8 but cleave unto the LORD your God, as ye have done unto this day.

A kowos in arulana oaru nu sin LEUM GOD, oana ke kowos oru oemeet me nwe misenge.

9 For the LORD hath driven out from before you great nations and strong: but as for you, no man hath stood before you unto this day.

Tuh LEUM GOD El lusla mutunfacl yohk ac ku ye motowos, ac wangin sie selos tuh ku in tu lain kowos.

10 One man of you shall chase a thousand: for the LORD your God, he it is that fighteth for you, as he spake unto you.

Siefanna suwos ku in ukwauk sie tausin selos, ke sripen LEUM GOD lowos El mweun keiwos, oana El tuh wulela nu suwos.

11 Take good heed therefore unto yourselves, that ye love the LORD your God.

Ke ma inge kowos in sismouk keiwos sifacna tuh kowos in lungse LEUM GOD lowos.

12 Else if ye do in any wise go back, and cleave unto the remnant of these nations, even these that remain among you, and make marriages with them, and go in unto them, and they to you:

Kowos fin soaru ac kupasr nu sin mutunfacl su muta inmasrlowos an, ac payuk nu selos,

13 know for a certainty that the LORD your God will no more drive these nations from out of your sight; but they shall be a snare and a trap unto you, and a scourge in your sides, and thorns in your eyes, until ye perish from off this good land which the LORD your God hath given you.

kowos in kalem kac lah LEUM GOD lowos El ac fah tia lusak mutunfacl inge liki kowos in oana ke El oru nu suwos meet. A elos ac fah mwe sensen nu suwos oana mwe kwasrip ku luf, na ac fah ngal oana mwe sringsring nu fintukuwos ku otoh nu in motowos. Ma inge ac orek nu suwos nwe ke na wangin sie suwos lula fin acn wowo se ma LEUM GOD lowos El sot nu suwos.

14 And, behold, this day I am going the way of all the earth: and ye know in all your hearts and in all your souls, that not one thing hath failed of all the good things which the LORD your God spake concerning you; all are come to pass unto you, not one thing hath failed thereof.

“Inge nga akola in misa. Kais sie suwos sifacna etu insiowos ac in ngunuwos lah LEUM GOD lowos El sot ma wolana nukewa El tuh wulela kac. Wulela lal nukewa akpwayeyuk; wangin sie tafongla.

15 And it shall come to pass, that as all the good things are come upon you of which the LORD your God spake unto you, so shall the LORD bring upon you all the evil things, until he have destroyed you from off this good land which the LORD your God hath given you.

Tusruktu, in oana ke LEUM GOD lowos El akpwayeye ma wo nukewa El tuh wulela kac nu suwos, El ac fah usot pac nu fowos ma koluk nukewa nwe ke na El unikowosla liki facl wolana se su LEUM GOD lowos El sot nu suwos.

16 When ye transgress the covenant of the LORD your God, which he commanded you, and go and serve other gods, and bow down yourselves to them; then shall the anger of the LORD be kindled against you, and ye shall perish quickly from off the good land which he hath given unto you.

Kowos fin tia karinganang wulela se ma LEUM GOD lowos El sapkin nu suwos, ac kowos fin kulansap ac alu nu sin god saya, na mulat lun God ac fah tayak lain kowos, na ac tia paht, ac fah wangin sie suwos lula ke facl wolana se inge su El asot nu suwos.”
