< Joshua 1 >

1 And it came to pass, after the death of Moses the servant of Yahweh, —that Yahweh spake unto Joshua son of Nun, the attendant of Moses, saying:
Ie añe te nihomake t’i Mosè mpitoro’ Iehovà, le nitsara am’ Iehosoa ana’ i None, mpitoro’ i Mosè, t’Iehovà, ami’ty hoe:
2 Moses my servant, is dead, —Now, therefore, arise, pass over this Jordan, thou, and all this people, into the land which I am giving unto them—unto the sons of Israel.
Fa vilasy t’i Mosè mpitoroko; aa le miongaha, itsaho Iardeney, ihe naho ze hene ondaty retiañe, mb’ an-tane atoloko iareo, toe ho amo ana’ Israeleo;
3 Every place whereon the sole of your foot shall tread, unto you, have I given it, —as I spake unto Moses.
fa natoloko anahareo ze toetse lian-delam-pandia’ areo, ty amy asako amy Mosèy.
4 From the desert and this Lebanon, even unto the great river—the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and unto the great sea, toward the going in of the sun, shall be your boundary.
Mifototse am-patrambey añe miharo amy Lebanone etia, pak’ amy saka beiy, i Peratey, naho ze hene tanen-te-Kète, pak’ amy Riake beiy, mb’ amy firoña’ i àndroy añey ty ho efe-tane’ areo.
5 No man shall stand before thee, all the days of thy life, —as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee, I will not fail thee, neither will I forsake thee.
Leo raike t’indaty tsy hiongake hiatrek’ azo amo hene andro hiveloma’oo; manahake ty nindrezako amy Mosè ty hindrezako ama’o; tsy hilesa ama’o iraho, tsy haforintseko ka.
6 Be firm and bold, —for, thou, shalt cause this people to inherit the land which I sware unto their fathers, —to give unto them.
Mihafatrara vaho mahasibeha; fa ihe ty hampandova ondaty retoañe i tane nifantàko aman-droae’ iareo hatoloko iareoy.
7 Only be very firm and bold, taking heed to do according to all the law which Moses my servant commanded thee, do not turn aside therefrom, to the right hand or to the left, —that thou mayest prosper, whithersoever thou goest.
Aa le mihaozara naho mahavania, hañambeñe naho hañorike i Tsara iaby linili’ i Mosè mpitoroko azoy; ko mitolike mb’ am-pitàn-kavana ndra havia, soa te hiraorao ndra aia’ aia ty homba’o.
8 This scroll of the law must not cease out of thy mouth, but thou must talk to thyself therein, day and night, that thou mayest take heed to do according to all that is written therein, —for, then, shalt thou make thy way prosperous, and, then, shalt thou have good success.
Tsy hienga am-palie’o ty Boke Hake toy, ie haereñere’o handro naho haleñe, hañambeñe naho hanao ze hene misokitse ao; le hiraorao o sata’oo, vaho haharongatse.
9 Have I not commanded thee, Be firm and bold, do not start nor be dismayed, —for, with thee, is Yahweh thy God, whithersoever thou goest?
Aa vaho tsy liniliko hao? Mihafatrara naho mahasibeha; ko hemban-drehe ko miroreke: fa ama’o t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’o ndra aia’aia ty homba’o.
10 So then Joshua commanded the officers of the people, saying:
Aa le linili’ Iehosoa o mpiaolo’ ondatio ami’ty hoe:
11 Pass ye through the midst of the camp, and command the people, saying: Make ready for yourselves, provisions, —for, in three days more, are ye to pass over this Jordan, to go in and possess the land which Yahweh your God is giving you, to possess.
Mirangà anteñateña’ i tobey mb’eo le afantoho ondatio ami’ty hoe: Maña­lankaña fivatiañe, fa hitsake Iardeney nahareo añate’ ty telo andro, himoak’ amy taney, hitavañe ze natolo’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo ho fanañañe.
12 And, unto the Reubenites, and unto the Gadites, and unto the half tribe of Manasseh, spake Joshua, saying:
Le nisaontsy amo nte-Reobeneo naho amo nte-Gadeo naho amo vakin-te Menasèo t’Iehosoa ami’ty hoe:
13 Remember the word which Moses the servant of Yahweh commanded you, saying, —Yahweh your God, is granting you rest, and doth give you this land.
Tiahio i tsara linili’ i Mosè mpitoro’ Iehovà anahareoy, ami’ty hoe: Manolotse fitofàñe ama’ areo t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo vaho hatolo’e ama’ areo o tane atoio.
14 Your wives, your little ones, and your cattle, shall remain in the land which Moses hath given you over the Jordan, —but, ye, shall pass over, armed, before your brethren, —all ye mighty men of valour, and shall help them;
Hitobok’ an-tane natolo’ i Mosè anahareo alafe’ Iardeney atoy o vali’ areoo naho o keleia’ areoo naho o añombe’ areoo, f’ie hitsak’ aolo’ o rahalahi’ areoo reke-pialiañe, songa fanalolahy maozatse hañolo­rañe iareo;
15 until that Yahweh shall grant rest unto your brethren, as unto you, so shall, they also, possess the land which Yahweh your God giveth them, —then shall ye return unto the land of your possession, and possess it, which Moses the servant of Yahweh hath given you over the Jordan, towards the rising of the sun.
ampara’ te hampitofà’ Iehovà o rahalahi’ areoo, manahake ty nanoa’e anahareo, ie fa tinava’ iareo ka i tane nitolora’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo; le himpoly an-tane fanaña’ areo atoa nahareo vaho ho tavane’ areo i natolo’ i Mosè mpitoro’ Iehovà anahareo alafe’ Iardeney atoa mb’am-panjirihan’ andro añe.
16 Then responded they to Joshua, saying, —All that thou hast commanded us, will we do, and, whithersoever thou shalt send us, will we go:
Tinoi’ iareo ami’ty hoe t’Iehosoa: Hene hanoe’ay ze nandilia’o anay vaho hañaveloa’ay ndra aia aia ty añiraha’o.
17 As in every thing we hearkened unto Moses, so, will we hearken unto thee, —only let Yahweh thy God be with thee, as he was with Moses.
Manahake ty nañaoña’ay amy Mosè amy ze he’e, ty hañaoña’ay azo naho indreza’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o hambañe amy nindreza’e amy Mo­sèy.
18 Any man who shall rebel against thy bidding, and not hearken unto thy words in all that thou shalt command him, shall be put to death, —only be firm and bold.
Aa ndra ia’ia ty hiola amy an­dilia’oy, tsy hañaoñe ze hene saontsy amantoha’o aze, le havetrake, f’ihe mihaozara vaho mahasibeha.
