Joshua 24
1 Joshua kpọkọtara ebo Izrel niile na Shekem. Ọ kpọrọ ndị okenye Izrel na ndịisi ha na ndị ikpe ha na ndị nlekọta ha. Ha niile bịara chee onwe ha nʼihu Chineke.
And Josue gaderide alle the lynagis of Israel in to Sechem; and he clepide the grettere men in birthe, and the princes, and iugis, and maistris; and thei stoden in the siyt of the Lord.
2 Mgbe ahụ, Joshua gwara ndị Izrel niile sị, “Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị, Chineke nke Izrel kwuru, ‘Nna nna unu ochie ha, nke bụ Tera, nna Ebraham, na Nahọ, bikwara nʼakụkụ ọwụwa anyanwụ nke ofe osimiri Yufretis, ebe ha nọ fee chi ndị ọzọ ofufe.
And he spak thus to the puple, The Lord God of Israel seith these thingis, Youre fadris dwelliden at the bigynnyng biyende the flood Eufrates, Thare, the fadir of Abraham, and Nachor, and thei serueden alien goddis.
3 Ma mụ onwe m kpọpụtara nna nna unu Ebraham site nʼala ahụ dị nʼofe osimiri dubata ya nʼala Kenan, nye ya ọtụtụ ụmụ ụmụ, site na nwa ya bụ Aịzik.
Therfor Y took youre fadir Abraham fro the coostis of Mesopotanye, and Y brouyte hym in to the lond of Canaan; and Y multipliede `the seed of hym,
4 Ụmụ m nyere Aịzik bụ Jekọb na Ịsọ. Ịsọ ka m nyere ala ugwu ugwu Sia, ka o nweta ma Jekọb na ezinaụlọ ya gara nʼala Ijipt.
and Y yaf Isaac to hym; and eft Y yaf to Isaac, Jacob, and Esau, of whiche Y yaf to Esau the hil of Seir, to `haue in possessioun; forsothe Jacob and hise sones yeden doun in to Egipt.
5 “‘Emesịa, ezigara m Mosis na Erọn, ma wetara ndị Ijipt ihe otiti ọjọọ niile dị iche iche site nʼihe m mere nʼebe ahụ. Nʼikpeazụ, akpọpụtara m ndị m site nʼala Ijipt.
And Y sente Moises and Aaron, and Y smoot Egipt with many signes and wondris,
6 Ma mgbe unu rutere nʼOsimiri Uhie, ndị agha Ijipt gbapụtara chịrị ụgbọ agha ha na ndị agha na-agba ịnyịnya ha chụwa unu ọsọ.
and Y ledde you and youre fadris out of Egipt. And ye camen to the see, and Egipcians pursueden youre fadris with charis, and multitude of knyytis, `til to the Reed See.
7 Mgbe ndị Izrel hụrụ ha, ha tiri mkpu kpọkuo Onyenwe anyị. O tinyere oke ọchịchịrị nʼetiti unu na ndị Ijipt. O mere ka oke osimiri kpuchie ha, mee ka ha mikpuo nʼosimiri ahụ. Unu niile hụkwara ihe m mere ndị Ijipt. Emesịa, unu bikwara nʼọzara ọtụtụ afọ.
Forsothe the sones of Israel crieden to the Lord, and he settide derknessis bitwixe you and Egipcians; and he brouyte the see on hem, and hilide hem. Youre iyen sien alle thingis, whiche Y dide in Egipt. And ye dwelliden in wildirnesse in myche tyme.
8 “‘Ma emesịa, emere m ka unu bata nʼime ala ndị Amọrait, ndị bi nʼakụkụ ọwụwa anyanwụ osimiri Jọdan. Ha lụsoro unu ọgụ, ma eweere m ha nyefee unu nʼaka. E bibiri m ha nʼihu unu, ma unu nwetara ala ha.
And Y brouyte you in to the lond of Ammorrei, that dwellide biyende Jordan; and whanne thei fouyten ayens you, Y bitook hem in to youre hondis, and ye hadden in possessioun `the lond of hem, and ye killiden hem.
9 Mgbe Balak nwa Zipoa, eze Moab, jikeere ibuso Izrel agha, o zigaara Belam, nwa Beoa ozi ka ọ bịa bụọ unu ọnụ.
Sotheli Balach, the sone of Sephor, the king of Moab, roos, and fauyt ayens Israel; and he sente, and clepide Balaam, the sone of Beor, that he schulde curse you.
10 Ma egeghị m Belam ntị. Kama emere m ya ka ọ gọzie unu. Anapụtara m unu site nʼaka ya.
And Y nolde here hym, but ayenward bi hym Y blesside you, and delyuerede you fro hise hondis.
11 “‘Emesịa, unu gafere osimiri Jọdan bịaruo Jeriko. Ndị ikom Jeriko busoro unu agha, otu a kwa ka ndị Amọrait, na ndị Periz, na ndị Kenan, na ndị Het, na ndị Gigash, na ndị Hiv, na ndị Jebus. Ma eweere m ha niile nyefee unu nʼaka.
And ye passiden Jordan, and camen to Jerico; and men of that citee fouyten ayens you, Ammorrei, and Feresei, and Cananei, Ethei, and Gergesei, and Euei, and Jebusei; and Y bitook hem in to youre hondis.
12 E zigara m ebu nʼihu unu nke chụpụrụ ha nʼihu unu, bụ eze abụọ ndị Amọrait. Ọ bụghị mma agha na ụta unu ka unu ji mee nke a.
And Y sente flies with venemouse tongis bifor you, and Y castide hem out of her places; Y kyllide twei kyngis of Ammorreis, not in thi swerd and bowe.
13 Ya mere enyere m unu ala ahụ, nke unu na-adọgbughị onwe unu nʼihi ya, nyekwa unu ọtụtụ obodo nke unu na-ewughị, bụ ala ndị a unu bi nʼime ya ugbu a. Enyere m unu ubi vaịnị na ubi oliv nke unu na-akụghị, nke unu na-eri mkpụrụ ha.’
And Y yaf to you the lond in which ye traueiliden not, and citees whiche ye bildiden not, that ye schulden dwelle in tho, and vyneris, and places of olyue trees, whiche ye plauntiden not.
14 “Ya mere ugbu a, tụọnụ egwu Onyenwe anyị, feekwanụ ya ofufe nʼụzọ ikwesi ntụkwasị obi na nʼeziokwu. Wezuganụ chi ndị ahụ niile nna nna unu ha fere ofufe nʼofe osimiri Yufretis ahụ, na nʼIjipt. Feenụ naanị Onyenwe anyị ofufe.
Now therfor drede ye the Lord, and serue ye hym with perfite herte and moost trewe; and do ye awei the goddis, to whiche youre fadris seruyden in Mesopotanye, and in Egipt; and serue ye the Lord.
15 Ọ bụrụkwanụ na ọ masịghị unu ife Onyenwe anyị, họpụtaranụ onwe unu taa onye unu ga-efe. Ma ọ bụ chi ndị ahụ nna nna unu ha fere nʼofe ọzọ nke osimiri, maọbụ chi ndị Amọrait, ndị unu bi nʼala ha. Ma nʼebe mụ onwe m na ezinaụlọ m nọ, anyị ga-efe Onyenwe anyị.”
But if it semeth yuel to you, `that ye serue the Lord, chesyng is youun to you; chese ye to you to dai that, that plesith, whom ye owen most to serue; whether to goddis, whiche youre fadris serueden in Mesopotanye, whether to the goddis of Ammorreis, in whose lond ye dwellen; forsothe Y, and myn hows schulen serue the Lord.
16 Ndị Izrel niile zara sị ya, “O nweghị ihe ga-eme ka anyị hapụ Onyenwe anyị fee chi ndị ọzọ!
And al the puple answeride and seide, Fer be it fro vs that we forsake the Lord, and serue alien goddis.
17 Ọ bụ Onyenwe anyị Chineke anyị, ya onwe ya si nʼala Ijipt, ebe anyị bụ ndị ohu, kpọpụta anyị na nna anyị ha. Ọ rụrụ ọrụ ịrịbama ndị ahụ niile dị oke egwu nʼihu anyị. O chebere anyị nʼije anyị niile nʼetiti mba ndị ahụ niile anyị si nʼala ha gafee.
`Oure Lord God hym silf ledde vs and oure fadris out of the lond of Egipt, fro the hows of seruage, and dide grete signes in oure siyt; and he kepte vs in al the weie, bi which we yeden, and in alle puplis, bi whiche we passiden; and he castide out alle folkis,
18 Ọ bụ Onyenwe anyị chụpụrụ ndị Amọrị na ọtụtụ mba ndị ọzọ bi nʼala a. E, anyị onwe anyị ga-efe Onyenwe anyị, nʼihi na ọ bụ Chineke anyị.”
Ammorrei, the dwellere of the lond, in to which we entriden. Therfor we schulen serue the Lord, for he is `oure Lord God.
19 Joshua zaghachiri ndị Izrel sị, “Unu apụghị ife Onyenwe anyị ofufe; nʼihi na ọ bụ Chineke dị nsọ, bụrụkwa Chineke ekworo. Ọ gaghị agbaghara unu nnupu isi unu na mmehie unu niile.
And Josue seide to the puple, Ye moun not serue the Lord; for God is hooli, and a strong feruent louyere, and he foryyueth not youre trespassis and synnes.
20 Ọ bụrụ na unu agbakụta Onyenwe anyị azụ, fee chi ala ọzọ ofufe, ọ ga-echigharị laa unu nʼiyi, nʼagbanyeghị na ọ nọnyerela unu ụbọchị ndị a niile.”
If ye forsaken the Lord, and seruen alien goddis, the Lord schal turne `hym silf, and schal turment you, and schal distrie, after that he hath youe goodis to you.
21 Ma ndị Izrel sịrị Joshua, “Mba, kama Onyenwe anyị ka anyị ga-efe ofufe.”
And the puple seide to Josue, It schal not be so, as thou spekist, but we schulen serue the Lord.
22 Mgbe ahụ, Joshua sịrị, “Unu bụ ndị ama megide onwe unu na unu ahọrọla ife Onyenwe anyị ofufe.” Ha zara sị, “E, anyị bụ ndị akaebe.”
And Josue seide to the puple, Ye ben witnessis, that ye han chose the Lord to you, that ye serue him. And thei answeriden, We ben witnessis.
23 Joshua sịrị, “Ugbu a, wezuganụ chi ndị mba ọzọ niile dị nʼetiti unu. Werekwanụ obi unu nye maka irubere Onyenwe anyị Chineke Izrel isi.”
Therfor, he seide, Now do ye awei alien goddis fro the myddis of you, and bowe ye youre hertis to the Lord God of Israel.
24 Ndị ahụ sịrị Joshua, “Anyị ga-efe Onyenwe anyị Chineke anyị ofufe. Anyị ga-egekwa ntị nʼolu ya, mee ihe o nyere nʼiwu.”
And the puple seide to Josue, We schulen serue `oure Lord God, and we schulen be obedient to hise heestis.
25 Ya mere, Joshua na ndị Izrel gbara ndụ nʼụbọchị ahụ na Shekem. O nyere ha iwu na ụkpụrụ ha ga-edebe.
Therfor Josue smoot a boond of pees in that dai, and settide forth to the puple comaundementis and domes in Sichen.
26 Joshua dere iwu ndị a ụmụ Izrel kwere na ha ga-eme nʼAkwụkwọ Iwu Chineke. Emesịa, o bupụtara otu nkume buru ibu guzo ya nʼokpuru osisi ukwu ook dị nʼakụkụ ebe nsọ Onyenwe anyị.
And he wroot alle these wordis in the book of Goddis lawe. And he took a greet stoon, and puttide it vndur an ook, that was in the seyntuarie of the Lord.
27 Joshua sịrị ndị ahụ niile, “Lee, nkume a ga-abụ ihe ama megide anyị. Nʼihi na ọ nụla okwu niile nke Onyenwe anyị gwara anyị. Ọ ga-abụkwa ihe ama megide unu, ma ọ bụrụ na unu mee ihe mmekpu megide Chineke unu.”
And he seide to al the puple, Lo! this stoon schal be to you in to witnessing, that ye herden alle the wordis of the Lord, whiche he spak to you, lest perauenture ye wolden denye aftirward, and lye to youre Lord God.
28 Emesịa, Joshua zilara onye ọbụla, ka ha laa nʼihe nketa nke aka ha.
And he lefte the puple, ech man in to his possessioun.
29 Ọ dịghị anya, mgbe ihe ndị a gasịrị, Joshua nwa Nun, odibo Onyenwe anyị nwụrụ, mgbe ọ gbara narị afọ na iri.
And after these thingis Josue, the sone of Nun, the `seruaunt of the Lord, diede, an hundride yeer eld and ten.
30 E liri ya nʼoke ala nke ihe nketa ya, na Timnat Sera, nʼime ala ugwu ugwu Ifrem, nʼakụkụ ugwu dị nʼala Gaash.
And thei birieden hym in the costis of his possessioun, in Thannath of Sare, which is set in the hil of Effraym, fro the north part of the hil Gaas.
31 Ndị Izrel fere Onyenwe anyị ofufe ụbọchị niile nke ndụ Joshua, na nke ndụ ndị okenye ahụ, bụ ndị gara nʼihu bie ndụ mgbe ọ nwụsịrị, ndị maakwara ihe niile nke Onyenwe anyị rụụrụ ndị Izrel.
And Israel seruede the Lord in alle the daies of Josue, and of the eldre men, that lyueden in long tyme aftir Josue, and whiche eldre men knewen alle the werkis of the Lord, whiche he hadde do in Israel.
32 Ọkpụkpụ Josef ndị Izrel chịtara mgbe ha si nʼala Ijipt pụta, ka ha liri na Shekem, nʼime ala ahụ Jekọb zụrụ narị mkpụrụ ọlaọcha nʼaka ụmụ Hamọ nna Shekem. Ala a ghọrọ nʼihe nketa ụmụ Josef.
Also `the sones of Israel birieden the boonys of Joseph, whiche thei baren fro Egipt in Sichen, in the part of the feeld, which feeld Jacob bouyte of the sones of Emor, fadir of Sichen, for an hundrid yonge scheep; and it was in to possessioun of the sones of Joseph.
33 Elieza nwa Erọn, nwụkwara. E liri ya nʼala ugwu ugwu ndị Ifrem, na Gibea, obodo e nyere nwa ya bụ Finehaz.
Also Eliazar, sone of Aaron, preest, diede; and Fynees and hise sones biryden hym in Gabaa, which was youun to hym in the hil of Efraym.
