< Joshua 1 >

1 After Moses, who served Yahweh [well], died, Yahweh said to Nun’s son Joshua, who had been Moses’ assistant,
Ngayon ito ang nangyari pagkatapos mamatay si Moises, ang lingkod ni Yahweh, na nangusap si Yahweh kay Josue ang anak ni Nun, punong pumapangalawa kay Moises, sinasabing,
2 “[You know that] my servant Moses is [now] dead. So now get ready to lead all these [Israeli] people across the Jordan [River]. Enter the land that I will soon give to you.
“Namatay na si Moises na aking lingkod. Kaya ngayon, magbangon, tawirin ang Jordang ito, ikaw at lahat ng mga bayang ito, sa lupaing ibinibigay ko sa kanila—sa mga bayan ng Israel.
3 I will give to you all the land that you walk on, as I promised Moses.
Ibinigay ko sa inyo ang bawat lugar na lalakaran ng talampakan ng inyong paa. Ibinigay ko na ito sa inyo, gaya ng ipinangako ko kay Moises.
4 That land will extend from the desert [in the south], to the Lebanon [Mountains in the northwest], and to the big Euphrates River [in the northeast], and to the Mediterranean Sea on the west. [It will include] all the land where the descendants of Heth [live].
Magiging lupain ninyo, mula sa ilang at Lebanon hanggang sa malawak na ilog, ang Eufrates, lahat ng lupain ng mga Heteo, at sa Malawak na Dagat, kung saan lumulubog ang araw.
5 No group will be able to oppose [and defeat] you during your life. I will help you as I helped Moses. I will always be with [LIT] you; I will never forsake you.
Walang sinumang makakatayo sa harap ninyo sa lahat ng araw ng inyong buhay. Sasamahan kita tulad ng pagsama ko kay Moises. Hindi kita pababayaan o iiwan kita.
6 “Be strong and courageous, because you are the one who will lead these Israeli people [and enable them] to possess the land that I solemnly promised to their ancestors that I would give them.
Maging malakas at matapang. Idudulot mong manahin ng mga taong ito ang lupaing ipinangako ko sa kanilang mga ninunong ibibigay ko sa kanila.
7 Just be strong and very courageous. Be sure to obey all the laws that my servant Moses gave to you. In order that you may be successful wherever you go, do not stop obeying any of them [IDM].
Maging malakas at napakatapang. Maging maingat na sundin ang lahat ng batas na iniutos sa inyo ng aking lingkod na si Moises. Huwag kayong lilihis mula rito sa kanan o sa kaliwa, para maging matagumpay kayo saan man kayo pupunta.
8 Make sure to habitually read [to the people some of] the laws [that God gave Moses]. Meditate on those laws [every] day and [every] night. And be sure to obey all those laws. If you do that, you will be successful in everything that you do [DOU].
Palagi kang magsasalita tungkol sa aklat ng batas na ito. Pagbubulay-bulayan mo ito sa araw at gabi para masunod mo ang lahat na nakasulat dito. Sa gayon magiging maunlad ka at matagumpay.
9 Do not forget [RHQ] that I have commanded you to be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid, and do not be discouraged, because I, Yahweh, your God, will (be with/help) you wherever you go.”
Hindi ba iniutos ko sa iyo? Maging malakas at matapang! Huwag matakot. Huwag matakot. Kasama mo si Yahweh na iyong Diyos saan ka man pupunta.”
10 Then Joshua commanded the leaders of the people of Israel,
Pagkatapos inutusan ni Josue ang mga pinuno ng bayan,
11 “Go throughout the camp and tell the people this: ‘Prepare all the food that you will take with you, because the day after tomorrow you will cross this Jordan [River], in order to possess the land that Yahweh, our God, is about to give you.’”
“Lumibot kayo sa kampo at utusan ang mga tao, 'Maghanda ng makakain para sa inyong sarili. Sa loob ng tatlong araw tatawirin ninyo ang Jordang ito at papasukin at aangkinin ang lupain na ibinibigay ni Yahweh inyong Diyos sa inyo para angkinin.”'
12 But to the [clans that were] descendants of Reuben and Gad, and to the half clan [that were descendants] of Manasseh, Joshua said,
Sinabi ni Josue sa mga lipi ni Reubenita, mga lipi ni Gadita at sa kalahating lipi ni Manases,
13 “Do not forget what Moses, the servant of Yahweh, commanded you: ‘Yahweh, your God, has given you this land in order that you can [live here] safely/peacefully.’
“Alalahanin ang salitang iniutos sa inyo ni Moises na lingkod ni Yahweh nang sinabi niyang, 'Binibigyan kayo ng pahinga ni Yahweh na inyong Diyos, at ibinibigay niya sa inyo ang lupaing ito.'
14 Your wives and your children and your livestock may stay [here] in this land on the east side of the Jordan [River], but all your soldiers must cross [the river], ahead of the people of the other tribes. They must take all their weapons with them. You must continue to help your fellow Israelis
Mananatili sa lupaing ibinigay sa inyo ni Moises sa kabila ng Jordan ang inyong mga asawa, inyong mga maliliit, at ang inyong mga alagang hayop. Pero ang inyong mga mandirigma ay tatawid kasama ng inyong mga kapatid na lalaki at tutulungan sila
15 until they are able to live there safely/peacefully, as Yahweh has enabled you to do. You must help them until after they have conquered all the people in the land that Yahweh, your God, is giving them. After that, your soldiers may return to live in this land that Moses gave to you here on the east side of the Jordan [River].”
hanggang ipagkaloob ni Yahweh sa inyong mga kapatid na lalaki ang kapahingahan tulad ng ibinigay niya sa inyo. At aangkinin din nila ang lupaing ibinibigay sa kanila ni Yahweh na inyong Diyos. Pagkatapos babalik kayo sa sarili ninyong lupain at angkinin ito, ang lupaing ibinigay ni Moises na lingkod ni Yahweh sa kabila ng Jordan, kung saan sumisikat ang araw.”
16 The people answered Joshua, “We will do everything that you have commanded us to do, and we will go wherever you tell us to go.
At sumagot sila kay Josue, sinabing, “Gagawin namin ang lahat ng iniutos mo sa amin, at pupunta kami saan mo man kami ipapadala.
17 As we obeyed all that Moses told us to do, we will obey all that you tell us to do. We pray that Yahweh will (be with/help) you as he (was with/helped) Moses.
Susundin ka namin tulad ng pagsunod namin kay Moises. Nawa'y samahan ka ni Yahweh, tulad ng pagsama niya kay Moises.
18 Anyone who (rejects what you say/opposes you) and does not obey what you command [DOU], we will execute. But we want you to be strong and courageous!”
Malalagay sa kamatayan ang sinumang susuway sa iyong mga utos at hindi susunod sa iyong mga salita. Maging malakas lamang at matapang.”
