Joshua 23
1 And it cometh to pass, many days after that Jehovah hath given rest to Israel from all their enemies round about, that Joshua is old, entering into days,
Lẹ́yìn ọjọ́ pípẹ́, nígbà tí Olúwa sì ti fún Israẹli ní ìsinmi kúrò ní ọwọ́ àwọn ọ̀tá wọn tí ó yí wọn ká, nígbà náà Joṣua sì ti di arúgbó.
2 and Joshua calleth for all Israel, for its elders, and for its heads, and for its judges, and for its authorities, and saith unto them, 'I have become old; I have entered into days;
Ó sì pe gbogbo Israẹli jọ: àgbàgbà wọn, olórí wọn, adájọ́ àti àwọn ìjòyè, ó sì sọ fún wọn pé, “Èmi ti pọ̀ ní ọdún èmi ti di arúgbó.
3 and ye — ye have seen all that Jehovah your God hath done to all these nations because of you, for Jehovah your God [is] He who is fighting for you;
Ẹ̀yin tìkára yín sì ti rí ohun gbogbo tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín ti ṣe sí gbogbo orílẹ̀-èdè wọ̀nyí nítorí yín, Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín ni ó jà fún yín.
4 see, I have caused to fall to you these nations who are left for an inheritance to your tribes, from the Jordan, (and all the nations which I cut off), and the great sea, the going in of the sun.
Ẹ rántí bí mo ṣe pín ogún ìní fún àwọn ẹ̀yà yín ní ilẹ̀ orílẹ̀-èdè gbogbo tí ó kù; àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè tí mo ti ṣẹ́gun ní àárín Jordani àti Òkun Ńlá ní ìwọ̀-oòrùn.
5 'As to Jehovah your God, He doth thrust them from your presence, and hath dispossessed them from before you, and ye have possessed their land, as Jehovah your God hath spoken to you,
Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín fúnra rẹ̀ yóò lé wọn jáde kúrò ní ọ̀nà yín, yóò sì tì wọ́n jáde ní iwájú yín, ẹ̀yin yóò sì gba ilẹ̀ ìní wọn, gẹ́gẹ́ bí Olúwa Ọlọ́run ti ṣe ìlérí fún yín.
6 and ye have been very strong to keep and to do the whole that is written in the Book of the Law of Moses, so as not to turn aside from it right or left,
“Ẹ jẹ́ alágbára gidigidi, kí ẹ sì ṣọ́ra láti ṣe ìgbọ́ràn sí ohun tí a kọ sí inú ìwé òfin Mose, láìyí padà sí ọ̀tún tàbí sí òsì.
7 so as not to go in among these nations, these who are left with you; and of the name of their gods ye do not make mention, nor do ye swear, nor do ye serve them, nor do ye bow yourselves to them;
Ẹ má ṣe ní àjọṣepọ̀ pẹ̀lú àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè tí ó ṣẹ́kù láàrín yín; ẹ má ṣe pe orúkọ òrìṣà wọn tàbí kí ẹ fi wọ́n búra. Ẹ kò gbọdọ̀ sìn wọ́n tàbí ki ẹ tẹríba fún wọn.
8 but to Jehovah your God ye do cleave, as ye have done till this day.
Ṣùgbọ́n ẹ di Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín mú ṣinṣin gẹ́gẹ́ bí ẹ ti ń ṣe tẹ́lẹ̀ títí di àkókò yìí.
9 And Jehovah is dispossessing from before you nations great and mighty; as for you, none hath stood in your presence till this day;
“Olúwa ti lé àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè ńlá àti alágbára kúrò níwájú yín; títí di òní yìí kò sí ẹnìkan tí ó le dojúkọ yín.
10 one man of you doth pursue a thousand, for Jehovah your God [is] He who is fighting for you, as He hath spoken to you;
Ọ̀kan nínú yín lé ẹgbẹ̀rún ọ̀tá, nítorí tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín jà fún yín gẹ́gẹ́ bí ó ti ṣe ìlérí.
11 and ye have been very watchful for yourselves to love Jehovah your God.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kí ẹ ṣọ́ra gidigidi láti fẹ́ràn Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín.
12 'But — if ye at all turn back and have cleaved to the remnant of these nations, these who are left with you, and intermarried with them, and gone in to them, and they to you,
“Ṣùgbọ́n bí ẹ bá yí padà, tí ẹ sì gba ìmọ̀ pọ̀ pẹ̀lú àwọn tó ṣẹ́kù lára àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè tí ó kù láàrín yín, tí ẹ sì ń fọmọ fún ara yín ní ìyàwó, tí ẹ sì bá wọn ní àjọṣepọ̀.
13 know certainly that Jehovah your God is not continuing to dispossess these nations from before you, and they have been to you for a gin, and for a snare, and for a scourge, in your sides, and for thorns in your eyes, till ye perish from off this good ground which Jehovah your God hath given to you.
Nígbà náà ni ẹ ó mọ̀ dájú pé Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín kì yóò lé àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè wọ̀nyí jáde mọ́ kúrò níwájú yín. Dípò èyí, wọn yóò jẹ́ ìkẹ́kùn àti tàkúté fún un yín, pàṣán ní ẹ̀yin yín àti ẹ̀gún ní ojú yín, títí ẹ ó fi ṣègbé kúrò ní ilẹ̀ dáradára yí, èyí tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín ti fi fún yín.
14 'And lo, I am going, to-day, in the way of all the earth, and ye have known — with all your heart, and with all your soul — that there hath not fallen one thing of all the good things which Jehovah your God hath spoken concerning you; the whole have come to you; there hath not failed of it one thing.
“Nísinsin yìí èmi ti fẹ́ máa lọ sí ibi tí àwọn àgbà ń rè. Ẹ mọ̀ pẹ̀lú gbogbo ọkàn yín àti àyà yín pé, kò sí ohun kan tí ó kùnà nínú àwọn ìlérí rere gbogbo tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín fi fún un yín. Gbogbo ìlérí tó ti ṣe kò sí ọ̀kan tí ó kùnà.
15 'And it hath been, as there hath come upon you all the good thing which Jehovah your God hath spoken unto you, so doth Jehovah bring upon you the whole of the evil thing, till His destroying you from off this good ground which Jehovah your God hath given to you;
Ṣùgbọ́n gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìlérí dáradára gbogbo ti Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín ti wá sí ìmúṣẹ, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Olúwa yóò mú ibi gbogbo tí ó ti kìlọ̀ wá sí orí yín, títí yóò fi pa yín run kúrò ní ilẹ̀ dáradára tí ó ti fi fún un yín.
16 in your transgressing the covenant of Jehovah your God which He commanded you, and ye have gone and served other gods, and bowed yourselves to them, then hath the anger of Jehovah burned against you, and ye have perished hastily from off the good land which He hath given to you.'
Bí ẹ bá sẹ̀ sí májẹ̀mú Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín, èyí tí ó pàṣẹ fún un yín, tí ẹ bá sì lọ tí ẹ sì sin àwọn òrìṣà tí ẹ sì tẹ orí ba fún wọn, ìbínú gbígbóná Olúwa yóò wá sórí i yín, ẹ̀yin yóò sì ṣègbé kíákíá kúrò ní ilẹ̀ dáradára tí ó ti fi fún un yín.”
