< Joshua 24 >
1 [Many years later], Joshua summoned representatives of all the tribes of Israel. He gathered together the elders, the leaders, the judges, and the other officials at Shechem [city]. He told them to listen to what God wanted to tell them.
Hanki Josua'a ana maka Israeli vahera nagate nofite huno Sekemu kumate zamavaretru hu'ne. Anante ranra vahe'ma, ugagota kva vahe'ma, keaga refkohu kva vahe'ma, avoma kreno eri antefatgoma hu eri'za vahera kehige'za vu'za Anumzamofo avure ome atru hu'naze.
2 Joshua said to all of them, “This is what Yahweh, the God we Israeli people worship, is saying: ‘Long ago, your ancestors, including Abraham’s father Terah and Abraham’s younger brother Nahor, lived on the east side of the Euphrates River.
Anante Josua'a ana maka veara amanage huno zamasami'ne, Ra Anumzana Israeli vahe'mota Anumzamo amanage huno hu'ne, Korapara neramageho'za Yufretisi timofo kantu kaziga mani'ne'za havi anumzantaminte monora hunteme azageno eno, neramageho Abrahamune Nahori kizani neznafa Tera knafina ehanati'ne.
3 But I took your ancestor Abraham from that land east of the Euphrates River, and I led him as he lived in various places in this land of Canaan, and I enabled him to have many descendants. First, I enabled him to have a son, Isaac.
Hianagi neramafa ne' Abrahamuna Yufretisi timofo kantu kaziga me'nea moparegati avrete'na vugota hunte'na maka Kenani mopafina vano nehu'na, agehe'mokizmia zamazeri rama'a nehu'na, zage mofavrea Aisakina ami'noe.
4 When Isaac grew up, I enabled him to have twin sons, Jacob and Esau. I enabled Esau to live in the hilly area in Seir region, but many years later Jacob and his sons and their families went down to live in Egypt.
Ana hute'na Aisakina tare ne' mofavrea Jekopune, Isone ami'noe. Hanki Seiria agona mopa Isona ami'noanagi, Jekopu'ene mofavre naga'amo'za Isipi moparega urami'naze.
5 “[Many years later], I sent Moses and his older brother Aaron to help your people, and I caused [the people of] Egypt to suffer very much because of what I did there. Then I enabled your ancestors to leave Egypt.
Hanki anantera Mosesene Aroninena huzanantogeke Isipi vake'na, tusia knazanteti Isipi vahera zamazeri haviza nehu'na, tamagrira anampinti Nagra'a tamavre'na atiramino'e.
6 When I brought your ancestors out of Egypt, they came to the Red Sea. The Egyptian army pursued them, some riding in chariots and others on horses, and they also arrived at the Red Sea.
Hanki Nagra tamafahe'ina Isipiti zamavare'na atirami'na hagerinkenare oge'za, Isipi vahe'mo'za karisine hosi afu agumpi mani'ne'za zamarotgo hu'za korankre hagerinte e'naze.
7 Then [your ancestors] pleaded with me to help them. So he caused (darkness/a very dark cloud) to come between your ancestors and the Egyptian army, so that the Egyptian army could not see your ancestors. I separated the water in the Red Sea so that your ancestors could cross it, but when the Egyptian army tried to cross in the same way to pursue them, I caused the water to come back and cover them, and the Egyptian soldiers all drowned, as your ancestors watched and were amazed [IDM]. But after that, you lived in the desert for many years.
Hianagi Ra Anumzamo'narega zamaza hanugu zavi krafage nehazage'na, zamagri'ene Isipi vahe amu'nozamifina haninku hugeno haninkino refko huzmante'ne. Hageri huntogeno Isipi sondia vahera maka zamaherefite'ne. Hanki ana'ma Isipi vahete'ma huazana tamagra tamavufinti ke'naze. Hanki tamagra za'zate ka'ma kokampina manita vano hu'naze.
8 “Then I brought your [ancestors] to the area where the groups who were descendants of Amor lived, east of the Jordan River. They fought against you, but I enabled you to defeat them [IDM]. I [enabled you to] destroy them so that you could live in their land [IDM].
Hanki Nagra zamavare'na Jodani timofo kantu zage hanati kaziga, Amori vahe mopare vuge'za, hara huramante'nazanagi Nagra tamazampi zamavarentogeta hara huzamagtere'naze. Hanki negazage'na zamazeri haviza hugeta, mopazamia eri'naze.
9 Then, Zippor’s son Balak, the King of Moab, (decided that his army would fight against/opposed) the Israelis. He summoned Beor’s son Balaam and asked him to curse you.
Hagi henka Moapu kini ne' Zipori nemofo Baraki'ma Israeli vahe'ma ha'ma huzmanteku'ma nehuno'a, Beori nemofo Balamuna Israeli vahe kazusi ke huzmantenogu kea atrente'ne.
10 But I would not do what Balaam asked, so he (blessed/said that I would do great things for) you four times, and I did not enable the army of Moab to defeat you [IDM].
Hianagi Nagra Ra Anumzamo'na Balamu'ma hiankea antahiomi'na, nagra hugeno asomu ke huramante'ne. Hige'na Nagra Balaki azampintira tamagu'vazi'noe.
11 “Then you all crossed the Jordan River and came to Jericho. The people of Jericho prepared to fight against you, [and the armies of] the descendants of Amor, Periz, Canaan, Heth, Girgash, Hiv, and Jebus [all prepared to do the same thing] but I enabled you to defeat [IDM] them all.
Hanki tamagra Jodani tima takahetama Jerikoma azage'za, Jeriko kumate vahe'mo'za hara hurmante'naze. Ana zanke hu'za Amori vahe'ma, Perisi vahe'ma, Kenani vahe'ma, Hiti vahe'ma, Girgasi vahe'ma, Hivi vahe'ma, Jebusi vahe'mo'zanena hara hurmante'nazanagi, Nagra tamaza hu'na tamazampi zamavarentogeta hara huzmagatere'naze.
12 I am the one who caused them to panic as you advanced and enabled you to defeat them, as I had enabled you to do earlier to the two kings of the groups who were descendants of Amor. You did not defeat them by using your own bows and arrows and swords; [it was I who defeated them].
Hagi Nagra'a tamagritera vugote'na nevu'na ha' vahe'tmia zamatazamina, zamazeri koro hu'noe. Ana'ma huazamo higeke tare Amori kini netremokea korora fre'na'e. Tamagra'a bainati kazinteti'ene ati keve tamiretira hara huznanteta zanavre otre'naze.
13 So I gave you a land that you had not tilled/planted, and I gave you cities that you did not build. [Now] you live in those [cities] and you eat the grapes from the grapevines that you did not plant, and you eat olives from trees that you did not plant.’”
Hanki tamagra'a eri'zana e'ori'naza mopane, tamagra'a onki'naza ranra kumatamugeta nemanita, tamagra'a tamazampinti onkri'naza waini hozafinti'ene olivi hozafintira tagitma ne'naze.
14 [Then Joshua said to the people], “[Because of all that] Yahweh [has done for you], revere him, and serve/worship him very faithfully. Throw away the idols that your ancestors worshiped on the east/other side of the Euphrates River and in Egypt. Serve only Yahweh.
E'ina hu'negu menina Ra Anumzamofona koro huntetma tamagu'areti tamage hutma monora hunenteta eri'zana erinteho. Hagi timofo kantu kaziga Isipima tamagehe'zama mani'ne'za mono'ma hunte'naza havi anumzantamintera monora huonteta, Ra Anumzamofonke monora hunteho.
15 But if you do not want to serve/worship Yahweh, you should decide today what [gods] you will serve/worship. You should decide whether you will serve/worship the gods that your ancestors who lived on the other/east side of the Euphrates River served, or whether you will serve/worship the gods that the descendants of Amor, who previously lived in the land where you are now living, [serve/worship]. But as for me and my family [MTY], we will serve/worship Yahweh!”
Hagi Ra Anumzamofo mono'ma hunenteta eri'zama erinte'zanku'ma tamavesrama hanigeta menina iza monora huntegahazafi huama hiho. Tamafahe'zama Yufretisi timofo kantu kaziga Mesapotomia mopare mono hunte'naza havi anumzante monora huntegahazafi, Amori vahe'ma mopazamifima emani'naza vahe'mokizmi havi anumzantaminte monora huntegahazo? Hianagi nagrane a'mofavre ni'anena, Ra Anumzamofo tagra monora hunenteta eri'zana erintegahune.
16 The Israeli people answered, “We will never quit [serving/worshiping] Yahweh! We would never [think of] [IDM] serving/worshiping other gods!
Anante ana maka vea kevumo'za kenona'a amanage hu'naze, tagra tamagerafa huta Ra Anumzana atreta mago'a havi anumzantera monora huozmantegahune.
17 It was our God, Yahweh, who brought our parents and grandparents up out of Egypt. [He rescued them] from that land where they were slaves. As he rescued them, they saw him perform great miracles. He protected them all the time when they were traveling. He protected them from all the people-groups through whose territory they traveled.
Na'ankure Agra Ra Anumzana tagri Anumzamo Agra'a, tafahe'ine tagri'enena Isipi vahe kazokzo eri'zama erinezmantompintira tavreno etirami'ne. Ana huteno tavufinti negonkeno, ana maka kaguvazana eri fore nehuno, kama e'nompina hakare'a kuma vahe mani'nazanagi Anumzamo'a kva hurantegeta amu'nozmifina e'none.
18 As our forefathers advanced, Yahweh expelled the descendants of Amor and the other people-groups who lived in this land. Yahweh is our God, so [we are saying that] we also will serve/worship him.”
Hanki ko'ma ama mopafima mani'naza vahe'ene, Amori vahe'enena negonkeno Ra Anumzamo'a zamahenati atre'ne. E'ina hu'negu tagranena Ra Anumzamofo monora hunenteta eri'zama'a erintegahune. Na'ankure Agrake tagri Anumzana mani'ne.
19 Joshua replied to the people, “[I think that] you are not able to serve/worship Yahweh, because he is a holy God. He will not forgive your sinning and rebelling [against him]. He demands that you serve/worship only him [IDM].
Hanki Josua'a amanage huno zamasami'ne, Tamagra Ra Anumzamofona monora hunenteta eri'zana eriontegahaze. Na'ankure Agra ruotage hu'neno, kanivere Anumza mani'neankino, tamagri kumi'ene, hazenkema hu'naza kumira apase oramantegahie.
20 He has been good to you [in the past], but if you turn away from him and serve/worship foreign/other gods, he will turn [against you] and he will cause you to experience disasters. He will punish [IDM] you severely!”
Hanki tamagrama Ra Anumzamofo tamefi hunemita, ru vahe'mofo havi anumzantaminte mono'ma huntesnazana, Agra knare huno kegava huramanteno e'neanagi, rukrahe huno rimpa aheneramanteno knazanteti tamagrira tamahe fanane hugahie.
21 But the people replied to Joshua, “No, [we will not turn away from worshiping/serving Yahweh] We will serve/worship Yahweh!”
Hianagi vea kevumo'za Josuana amanage hu'za asmi'naze, i'o tagra Ra Anumzana Agrike monora huntegahune.
22 Then Joshua said, “You yourselves are saying that you have decided to serve/worship Yahweh.” They replied, “Yes, we are saying that.”
Anante Josua'a anage huno vea kevua zamasami'ne, tamagra'a huama nehutma, huvempa hutma Ra Anumzana Agrike monora hunenteta eri'zama'a erintegahune nehazo? Hige'za, izo tagra'a tagipinti huama huta nehune.
23 Then Joshua said, “Since [you have decided] that, you must throw away all the other gods/idols that you have among you. You must also promise that you will wholeheartedly give yourselves to Yahweh, the God whom we Israelis [serve/worship].”
Hanki Josua'a mago'ane zamasamino, ru vahe'mokizmi havi anumzantamima tamagranema me'neana eri netreta, Rana Israeli vahe'mota Ra Anumzante tamagu'a rukrahe huta amage anteho.
24 The people replied, “We will serve/worship Yahweh, our God, and obey him.”
Hanki vea kevumo'za Josuana asami'za, Ra Anumzana tagri Anumzamofo monora hunenteta, eri'zama'a erinenteta, Agri kemofo amage'a antegahune.
25 That day, Joshua established an agreement between the people and Yahweh. He wrote for them all the laws that they were required to obey.
Hanki ana zupa Josua'a Sekemu kumate vea nagara Anumzanema huhagerafi huvempa kea nezamasamino, kasegene tra kenena amage antehogu zamasami'ne.
26 He wrote all those laws on a scroll. He called it ‘The laws of God’. Then he [told some men to] set up a large stone there at Shechem, under the [large] oak tree near the place where [they worshiped] Yahweh.
Hanki ana nanekeramina Ra Anumzamofo kasegema me'nea avontafepi Josua'a krente'ne. Ana huteno, anante Josua'a mago ra have erino Ra Anumzamofo seli mono noma me'nea tavaonte oki zafa agafare retrure'ne.
27 He said to all the people, “Look! [It is as though] this stone has heard everything that Yahweh said to you [and that you promised Yahweh]. It will serve as a witness against you if you rebel against your God!”
Anama huteno Josua'a maka vea kevumofona amanage huno zamasami'ne, keho, maka zupa ama havema negeta tagrama huvempama hu'nona kegu tagesa antahigahune. Ra Anumzamo'ma tasamia nanekea ama havema negesuta, ama ana havemo mago avame'za me'nenketa Anumzamofo nanekea ruotagregahune.
28 Then Joshua sent the people away, and all of them returned to their own areas/homes.
Anagema huteno Josua'a ana maka veara huzamantege'za erisantimahare'za nemaniza kumatega vu'za e'za hu'naze.
29 Some time after that, Nun’s son Joshua, the faithful servant of Yahweh, died. He was 110 years old when he died.
Hanki anazama huvagareteno zaza kna omani'neno Ra Anumzamofo eri'za ne' Nuni nemofo Josuana, kafu'amo'a 110ni hutegeno fri'ne.
30 The Israeli people buried his body on his own property in Timnath-Serah [town] town. It is north of Gaash Mountain in the hilly area of the tribe who were descendants of Ephraim.
Hige'za Gasi agonamofo noti kaziga Efraemi naga'mokizmi agona mopamofo asoparega, Timnat Sera rankumate agra'ama erisantimahare'nea mopafi asente'naze.
31 The Israeli people served/worshiped Yahweh as long as Joshua was alive. After Joshua died, they continued serving/worshiping Yahweh while the elders who had experienced everything that Yahweh had done for the Israeli people were still alive.
Hanki Israeli vahe'mo'za Josua'ma kasefa huno mani'nea knafine, agranema ranra vahe'mo'zama Ra Anumzamo'ma mikazama hiazama ke'naza vahe'mokizmi knafina Israeli vahe'mo'za Ra Anumzamofona monora hunte'za eri'zana erinte'naze.
32 Joseph’s bones, which the Israeli people had brought with them from Egypt, were also buried at Shechem. The people buried them in the piece of land that Jacob had bought long ago for 100 pieces of silver from Hamor, the father of Shechem. That piece of land was in the area that was given to the people who were descendants of Ephraim and Manasseh, Joseph’s sons.

33 Eleazar, the Supreme Priest, the son of Aaron, also died. They buried his body at Gibeah, in the area that had been given to Eleazar’s son Phinehas, in the hilly area that belonged to the people who were descendants of Ephraim.
Hanki Aroni nemofo Eleaza'ma frige'za Gibea kumate asente'naze. Ana Gibea rankumara Efraemi naga'mokizmi agona moparega Eleazari nemofo Finiasi ami'naza rankumate asente'naze.
