Joshua 24
1 Then Joshua gathered all the tribes of Israel to Shechem and called for the elders of Israel, for their leaders, for their judges, and for their officers, and they presented themselves before God.
Nígbà náà ni Joṣua pe gbogbo àwọn ẹ̀yà Israẹli jọ ní Ṣekemu. Ó pe àwọn àgbàgbà, àwọn olórí, onídàájọ́ àti àwọn ìjòyè Israẹli, wọ́n sì fi ara wọn hàn níwájú Ọlọ́run.
2 Joshua said to all the people, “This is what Yahweh, the God of Israel, says, 'Your ancestors long ago lived beyond the Euphrates River—Terah, the father of Abraham and the father of Nahor—and they worshiped other gods.
Joṣua sì sọ fun gbogbo ènìyàn pé, “Báyìí ni Olúwa Ọlọ́run Israẹli, wí, ‘Nígbà kan rí àwọn baba ńlá yín Tẹra baba Abrahamu àti Nahori ń gbé ní ìkọjá odò Eufurate, wọ́n sì sin àwọn òrìṣà.
3 But I took your father from beyond the Euphrates and led him into the land of Canaan and gave him many descendants through his son Isaac.
Ṣùgbọ́n mo mú Abrahamu baba yín kúrò ní ìkọjá odò Eufurate, mo sì ṣe amọ̀nà rẹ̀ ni gbogbo Kenaani, mo sì fún ní àwọn ọmọ púpọ̀. Mo fún ní Isaaki,
4 Then to Isaac I gave Jacob and Esau. I gave Esau the hill country of Seir to possess, but Jacob and his children went down to Egypt.
àti fún Isaaki ni mo fún ní Jakọbu àti Esau, mo sì fún Esau ní ilẹ̀ orí òkè Seiri ní ìní, ṣùgbọ́n Jakọbu àti àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀ sọ̀kalẹ̀ lọ sí Ejibiti.
5 I sent Moses and Aaron, and I afflicted the Egyptians with plagues. After that, I brought you out.
“‘Nígbà náà ni mo rán Mose àti Aaroni, mo sì yọ Ejibiti lẹ́nu ní ti nǹkan tí mo ṣe níbẹ̀, mo sì mú yín jáde.
6 I brought your ancestors out of Egypt, and you came to the sea. The Egyptians pursued them with chariots and horsemen as far as the Sea of Reeds.
Nígbà tí mo mú àwọn baba yín jáde kúrò ní Ejibiti, ẹ wá sí Òkun, àwọn ará Ejibiti lépa wọn pẹ̀lú kẹ̀kẹ́ ogun àti àwọn ẹlẹ́ṣin títí ó fi dé Òkun Pupa.
7 When your ancestors called out to Yahweh, he put darkness between you and the Egyptians. He brought the sea to come over them and cover them. You saw what I did in Egypt. Then you lived in the wilderness for a long time.
Ṣùgbọ́n wọ́n ké pe Olúwa fún ìrànlọ́wọ́, ó sì fi òkùnkùn sí àárín yín àti àwọn ará Ejibiti, ó sì mú òkun wá sí orí wọn; ó sì bò wọ́n mọ́lẹ̀. Ẹ sì fi ojú yín rí ohun tí mo ṣe sí àwọn ará Ejibiti. Lẹ́yìn náà ẹ sì gbé ní aginjù fún ọjọ́ pípẹ́.
8 I brought you to the land of the Amorites, who lived on the other side of the Jordan. They fought with you, and I gave them into your hand. You took possession of their land, and I destroyed them before you.
“‘Èmi mú yín wá sí ilẹ̀ àwọn ará Amori tí ó ń gbé ìlà-oòrùn Jordani. Wọ́n bá yín jà, ṣùgbọ́n mo fi wọ́n lé yín lọ́wọ́. Èmí pa wọ́n run kúrò níwájú u yín, ẹ sì gba ilẹ̀ ẹ wọn.
9 Then Balak son of Zippor, king of Moab, got up and attacked Israel. He sent and called for Balaam son of Beor, to curse you.
Nígbà tí Balaki ọmọ Sippori, ọba Moabu, múra láti bá Israẹli jà, ó ránṣẹ́ sí Balaamu ọmọ Beori láti fi yín bú.
10 But I did not listen to Balaam. Indeed, he blessed you. So I rescued you out of his hand.
Ṣùgbọ́n èmi kò fetí sí Balaamu, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ó súre fún un yín síwájú àti síwájú sí i, mo sì gbà yín kúrò ní ọwọ́ rẹ̀.
11 You went over the Jordan and came to Jericho. The leaders of Jericho fought against you, along with the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Girgashites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites. I gave you victory over them and put them under your control.
“‘Lẹ́yìn náà ni ẹ rékọjá Jordani, tí ẹ sì wá sí Jeriko. Àwọn ará ìlú Jeriko sì bá yín jà, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ará Amori, Peresi, Kenaani, Hiti, Girgaṣi, Hifi àti Jebusi. Ṣùgbọ́n mo fi wọ́n lé e yín lọ́wọ́.
12 I sent the hornet before you, which drove them and the two kings of the Amorites out before you. It did not happen by your sword or by your bow.
Èmi sì rán oyin sí iwájú yín, tí ó lé wọn kúrò ní iwájú yín, àní ọba Amori méjì. Ẹ kò ṣe èyí pẹ̀lú idà yín àti ọrun yín.
13 I gave you land on which you had not worked and cities that you had not built, and now you live in them. You eat the fruit of vineyards and olive orchards that you did not plant.'
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni mo fún un yín ní ilẹ̀ tí ẹ̀yin kò ṣiṣẹ́ fún, àti àwọn ìlú tí ẹ̀ yin kò kọ́; ẹ sì ń gbé inú wọn, ẹ sì ń jẹ nínú ọgbà àjàrà àti ọgbà olifi tí ẹ kò gbìn.’
14 Now fear Yahweh and worship him with all integrity and faithfulness; get rid of the gods that your ancestors worshiped beyond the Euphrates and in Egypt, and worship Yahweh.
“Nísinsin yìí ẹ bẹ̀rù Olúwa, kí ẹ sì máa sìn ín ní òtítọ́ àti òdodo. Kí ẹ sì mú òrìṣà tí àwọn baba ńlá yín sìn ní ìkọjá odò Eufurate àti ní Ejibiti kúrò, kí ẹ sì máa sin Olúwa.
15 If it seems wrong in your eyes for you to worship Yahweh, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your ancestors worshiped beyond the Euphrates, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you live. But as for me and my house, we will worship Yahweh.”
Ṣùgbọ́n bí ẹ̀yin kò bá fẹ́ láti sin Olúwa, nígbà náà ẹ yàn fún ara yín ní òní ẹni tí ẹ̀yin yóò sìn bóyá òrìṣà tí àwọn baba ńlá yín sìn ní ìkọjá odò Eufurate, tàbí òrìṣà àwọn ará Amori, ní ilẹ̀ ẹni tí ẹ̀yin ń gbé. Ṣùgbọ́n ní ti èmi àti ilé mi, Olúwa ni àwa yóò máa sìn.”
16 The people answered and said, “We would never forsake Yahweh to serve other gods,
Àwọn ènìyàn sì dáhùn pé, “Kí a má ri tí àwa yóò fi kọ Olúwa sílẹ̀ láti sin òrìṣà!
17 for it is Yahweh our God who brought us and our ancestors up from the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery, and who did those great signs in our sight, and who preserved us in all the way that we went, and among all the nations through whom we passed.
Nítorí Olúwa Ọlọ́run fúnra rẹ̀ ni ó gba àwọn baba ńlá wa là kúrò ní Ejibiti, ní oko ẹrú. Òun ni Ọlọ́run tí ó ṣe iṣẹ́ ìyanu ńlá níwájú àwọn ọmọ Israẹli. Ó pa wá mọ́ nínú gbogbo ìrìnàjò wa àti ní àárín gbogbo orílẹ̀-èdè tí a là kọjá.
18 Then Yahweh drove out before us all the peoples, including the Amorites who lived in the land. So we too will worship Yahweh, for he is our God.”
Olúwa sì lé gbogbo àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè jáde kúrò ní iwájú wa, pẹ̀lú àwọn Amori, tí ń gbé ilẹ̀ náà. Àwa náà yóò máa sin Olúwa, nítorí òun ni Ọlọ́run wa.”
19 But Joshua said to the people, “You cannot serve Yahweh, for he is a holy God; he is a jealous God; he will not forgive your transgressions and sins.
Joṣua sì wí fún àwọn ènìyàn náà, pé, “Ẹ̀yin kò le sin Olúwa, nítorí Ọlọ́run mímọ́ ni òun; Ọlọ́run owú ni òun, kì yóò dárí ìrékọjá àti ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ yín jì yín.
20 If you forsake Yahweh and worship foreign gods, then he will turn and do you harm. He will consume you, after he has done good to you.”
Bí ẹ bá kọ Olúwa tí ẹ sì sin òrìṣà orílẹ̀-èdè mìíràn òun yóò padà yóò sì mú ibi bá a yín, yóò sì pa yín run, lẹ́yìn ìgbà tí ó ti ṣe rere fún un yín tan.”
21 But the people said to Joshua, “No, we will worship Yahweh.”
Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn ènìyàn sọ fún Joṣua pé, “Bẹ́ẹ̀ kọ́! A yàn láti sin Olúwa.”
22 Then Joshua said to the people, “You are witnesses against yourselves that you have chosen for yourselves Yahweh, to worship him.” They said, “We are witnesses.”
Lẹ́yìn náà ni Joṣua wí pé, “Ẹ̀yin ni ẹlẹ́rìí ara yín pé, ẹ ti yàn láti sin Olúwa.” Wọ́n dáhùn wí pé, “Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni, àwa ni ẹlẹ́rìí.”
23 “Now put away the foreign gods that are with you, and turn your heart to Yahweh, the God of Israel.”
Nígbà náà ni Joṣua dáhùn wí pé, “Ẹ mú òrìṣà orílẹ̀-èdè mìíràn tí ń bẹ ní àárín yín kúrò, ki ẹ sì yí ọkàn yín padà sí Olúwa, Ọlọ́run Israẹli.”
24 The people said to Joshua, “We will worship Yahweh our God. We will listen to his voice.”
Àwọn ènìyàn náà sì wí fún Joṣua pé, “Olúwa Ọlọ́run nìkan ni àwa yóò máa sìn, òun nìkan ni àwa yóò máa ṣe ìgbọ́ràn sí.”
25 Joshua made a covenant with the people that day. He put in place decrees and laws at Shechem.
Ní ọjọ́ náà Joṣua dá májẹ̀mú fún àwọn ènìyàn, ó sì fi òfin àti ìlànà fún wọn ní Ṣekemu.
26 Joshua wrote these words in the book of the law of God. He took a large stone and set it up there beneath the oak tree that was beside Yahweh's sanctuary.
Joṣua sì kọ gbogbo ìdáhùn àwọn ènìyàn wọ̀nyí sí inú Ìwé Òfin Ọlọ́run. Lẹ́yìn náà ó gbé òkúta ńlá kan, ó gbé e kalẹ̀ ní abẹ́ igi óákù ní ẹ̀bá ibi mímọ́ Olúwa.
27 Joshua said to all the people, “Look, this stone will be a testimony against us. It has heard all the words Yahweh said to us. So it will be a witness against you, should you ever deny your God.”
“E wò ó!” ó wí fún gbogbo ènìyàn pé, “Òkúta yìí ni yóò jẹ́ ẹlẹ́rìí fún wa, nítorí ó ti gbọ́ gbogbo ọ̀rọ̀ tí Olúwa ti sọ fún wa. Yóò jẹ́ ẹlẹ́rìí yín tí ẹ bá ṣe àìṣòótọ́ sí Ọlọ́run yín.”
28 So Joshua sent the people away, each to his own inheritance.
Lẹ́yìn náà ni Joṣua jẹ́ kí àwọn ènìyàn lọ, olúkúlùkù sí ilẹ̀ ìní rẹ̀.
29 After these things Joshua son of Nun, the servant of Yahweh, died, being 110 years old.
Lẹ́yìn nǹkan wọ̀nyí, Joṣua ọmọ Nuni ìránṣẹ́ Olúwa, kú ní ẹni àádọ́fà ọdún.
30 They buried him within the border of his own inheritance, at Timnath Serah, which is in the hill country of Ephraim, north of Mount Gaash.
Wọ́n sì sin ín sí ilẹ̀ ìní rẹ̀, ní Timnati Serah ni ilẹ̀ orí òkè Efraimu, ní ìhà àríwá òkè Gaaṣi.
31 Israel worshiped Yahweh all of Joshua's days, and all the days of the elders who outlived Joshua, those who had experienced everything that Yahweh had done for Israel.
Israẹli sì sin Olúwa ní gbogbo ọjọ́ ayé Joṣua àti ní gbogbo ọjọ́ àwọn àgbàgbà tí ó wà lẹ́yìn ikú rẹ̀ tí wọ́n sì rí gbogbo iṣẹ́ ńlá tí Olúwa ṣe fún Israẹli.
32 The bones of Joseph, which the people of Israel brought up out of Egypt—they buried them at Shechem, in the piece of land that Jacob had bought from the sons of Hamor, the father of Shechem. He bought it for one hundred pieces of silver, and it became an inheritance for the descendants of Joseph.
Egungun Josẹfu, èyí tí àwọn ọmọ Israẹli kó kúrò ní Ejibiti, ni wọ́n sin ní Ṣekemu ní ìpín ilẹ̀ tí Jakọbu rà fún ọgọ́rùn-ún fàdákà ní ọwọ́ Hamori, baba Ṣekemu. Èyí sì jẹ́ ilẹ̀ ìní àwọn ọmọ Josẹfu.
33 Eleazar son of Aaron also died. They buried him at Gibeah, the city of Phinehas his son, which had been given to him. It was in the hill country of Ephraim.
Eleasari ọmọ Aaroni sì kú, wọ́n sì sin ín ní Gibeah, tí a ti pín fún ọmọ rẹ̀ Finehasi ní òkè ilẹ̀ Efraimu.
