1 And it was from days many after that he had given rest Yahweh to Israel from all enemies their from round about and Joshua he was old he had come in days.
Panapita nthawi yayitali kuchokera pamene Yehova anakhazikitsa mtendere pakati pa Aisraeli ndi adani awo owazungulira. Nthawi imeneyi nʼkuti Yoswa atakalamba, ali ndi zaka zambiri.
2 And he summoned Joshua all Israel elders its and leaders its and judges its and officials its and he said to them I I am old I have come in days.
Yoswayo anayitanitsa Aisraeli onse pamodzi ndi akuluakulu, atsogoleri, oweruza, ndi oyangʼanira anthu antchito ndipo anawawuza kuti, “Ine ndakalamba ndipo ndili ndi zaka zambiri.
3 And you you have seen all that he has done Yahweh God your to all the nations these from before you for Yahweh God your he [is] the [one who] has been fighting for you.
Inu mwaona zonse zimene Yehova Mulungu wanu wachita kwa mitundu yonseyi chifukwa cha inu. Ndi Yehova Mulungu wanu amene anakumenyerani nkhondo.
4 See I have made fall to you the nations which remain these an inheritance for tribes your from the Jordan and all the nations which I have cut off and the sea great [the] setting of the sun.
Tsono onani! Mitundu ya anthu otsalawa ndayipereka kwa mafuko anu pamodzi ndi mitundu ya anthu ya pakati pa Yorodani ndi Nyanja Yayikulu ya kumadzulo imene ndinayigonjetsa.
5 And Yahweh God your he he will drive out them from before you and he will dispossess them from to before you and you will take possession of land their just as he spoke Yahweh God your to you.
Yehova Mulungu wanu ndiye adzawathamangitsa pamaso panu. Mudzatenga dziko lawo monga Yehova anakulonjezerani.
6 And you will be strong very to take care and to do every [thing] written in [the] book of [the] law of Moses to not to turn aside from it right [hand] and left [hand].
“Choncho khalani amphamvu, ndipo samalani kuti mumvere zonse zimene zalembedwa mʼbuku la malamulo a Mose. Musapatuke pa malamulo onse amene alembedwamo.
7 To not to go among the nations these which remain these with you and [the] name of gods their not you must bring to remembrance and not you must cause to swear and not you must serve them and not you must bow down to them.
Musagwirizane ndi mitundu ya anthu imene yatsala pakati panu. Musatchule mayina a milungu yawo kapena kuyitchula polumbira. Musayitumikire kapena kuyigwadira.
8 That except to Yahweh God your you will cling just as you have done until the day this.
Koma mukuyenera kugwiritsa Yehova Mulungu wanu, monga mwachitira mpaka lero lino.
9 And he has dispossessed Yahweh from before you nations great and mighty and you not he has stood anyone in faces your until the day this.
“Yehova wapirikitsa patsogolo panu mitundu ya anthu ikuluikulu ndi yolimba. Mpaka lero palibe amene watha kulimbana nanu.
10 A man one of you he puts to flight a thousand for - Yahweh God your he [is] the [one who] fights for you just as he spoke to you.
Aliyense wa inu atha kuthamangitsa anthu 1,000 chifukwa Yehova Mulungu wanu ndiye amakumenyerani nkhondo, monga momwe analonjezera.
11 And you will take heed exceedingly to selves your to love Yahweh God your.
Choncho samalitsani kuti mukonde Yehova Mulungu wanu.
12 That - except ever you will turn back and you will cling to [the] remainder of the nations these which remain these with you and you will intermarry with them and you will go among them and they among you.
“Koma ngati mubwerera mʼmbuyo ndi kuphatikizana ndi mitundu yotsalayi imene ili pakati panu ndi kumakwatirana nayo,
13 Certainly you will know that not he will increase Yahweh God your to dispossess the nations these from to before you and they will become for you a trap and a snare and a scourge in sides your and thorns in view your until perish you from on the land good this which he has given to you Yahweh God your.
pamenepo mudziwe kuti Yehova, Mulungu wanu, sadzapirikitsa mitundu imeneyi pamaso panu, koma idzakhala ngati msampha kwa inu kapenanso khwekhwe lokukolani. Idzakhala ngati zikwapu pa msana panu kapenanso ngati minga mʼmaso mwanu mpaka mutatha psiti mʼdziko labwinoli limene Yehova Mulungu wanu wakupatsani.
14 And here! I [am] about to go this day in [the] way of all the earth and you know with all heart your and with all being your that not it has fallen a word one of all - the words good which he spoke Yahweh God your on you everything they have come to you not it has fallen of it a word one.
“Aliyense wa inu akudziwa mu mtima mwake komanso mʼmoyo mwake kuti zabwino zonse zimene Yehova Mulungu wanu anakulonjezani zachitika. Palibe lonjezo ndi limodzi lomwe limene silinakwaniritsidwe.
15 And it will be just as it has come on you every word good which he spoke Yahweh God your to you so he will bring Yahweh on you every word bad until has destroyed he you from on the land good this which he has given to you Yahweh God your.
Monga momwe Yehova Mulungu wanu wakuchitirani zabwino zonse zimene ananena kuti adzachita, Yehovayo angathenso kukuchitirani zoyipa zonse zimene waopseza, mpaka kukuchotsani mʼdziko lokoma limene anakupatsani.
16 When transgress you [the] covenant of Yahweh God your which he commanded you and you will go and you will serve gods other and you will bow down to them and it will burn [the] anger of Yahweh on you and you will perish quickly from on the land good which he has given to you.
Ngati muphwanya pangano la Yehova Mulungu wanu, limene anakulamulirani nʼkumapita kukatumikira milungu ina ndi kuyigwadira, Yehova adzakukwiyirani, ndiye mudzachotsedwa mʼdziko labwinoli limene Yehova wakupatsani.”
