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.
Pea naʻe tānaki fakataha ʻe Siosiua ʻae ngaahi faʻahinga ʻo ʻIsileli ki Sikemi, ʻo ne fekau ke haʻu ʻae kau mātuʻa ʻo ʻIsileli, mo honau ngaahi ʻeiki, pea ko honau kau fakamaau, mo honau kau matāpule; pea naʻa nau fakahā ʻakinautolu ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ʻOtua.
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.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Siosiua ki he kakai kotoa pē, “ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, ‘Naʻe nofo hoʻomou ngaahi tamai ʻi muʻa ʻi he kauvai ʻe taha ʻoe vai lahi, ʻio, ʻa Tela, ko e tamai ʻa ʻEpalahame mo e tamai ʻa Nehoa: pea naʻa nau tauhi ʻae ngaahi ʻotua kehe.
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.
Pea naʻaku ʻomi hoʻomou tamai ko ʻEpalahame mei he potu ʻe taha ʻoe vai lahi, ʻo tataki ia ʻi he fonua ko Kēnani, pea u fakatokolahi hono hako, ʻo foaki kiate ia ʻa ʻAisake.
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.
Pea naʻe foaki kia ʻAisake ʻa Sēkope mo ʻIsoa: peau foaki kia ʻIsoa ʻae moʻunga ko Seia, ke ne maʻu ia; ka ko Sēkope mo ʻene fānau naʻa nau ʻalu hifo ki ʻIsipite.
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.
Pea naʻaku fekau ʻa Mōsese mo ʻElone foki, peau fakamamahiʻi ʻa ʻIsipite, ʻo fakatatau mo ia ʻaia naʻaku fai ʻiate kinautolu: pea hili ia naʻaku fakahaofi ʻakimoutolu.
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.
Pea naʻaku ʻomi hoʻomou ngaahi tamai mei ʻIsipite: pea naʻa mou haʻu ki he tahi: pea naʻe tuli hoʻomou ngaahi tamai ʻe he kakai ʻIsipite ʻaki ʻae ngaahi saliote mo e kau tangata heka hoosi ʻo aʻu ki he Tahi Kulokula.
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.
Pea ʻi heʻenau tangi kia Sihova, naʻa ne ʻai ʻae poʻuli ʻi homou vahaʻa mo e kakai ʻIsipite, pea naʻa ne ʻomi ʻae tahi kiate kinautolu ʻo lōmaki ʻaki ʻakinautolu; pea naʻe mamata ʻe homou mata ki he meʻa naʻaku fai ʻi ʻIsipite: pea ne mou nofo ʻi he toafa ʻo fuoloa.
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.
Pea ne u ʻomi ʻakimoutolu ki he fonua ʻoe kau ʻAmoli, ʻaia naʻe nofo ʻi he kauvai ʻe taha ʻo Sioatani; pea naʻa nau tauʻi ʻakimoutolu: pea ne u tuku ʻakinautolu ki homou nima, koeʻuhi ke mou maʻu honau fonua, pea ne u fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu mei homou ʻao.
9 Mgbe Balak nwa Zipoa, eze Moab, jikeere ibuso Izrel agha, o zigaara Belam, nwa Beoa ozi ka ọ bịa bụọ unu ọnụ.
Pea naʻe tuʻu hake ʻa Pelaki ko e foha ʻo Sipoa, ko e tuʻi ʻo Moape, ʻo ne tauʻi ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻo ne fekau ke ui ʻa Pelami ko e foha ʻo Peoli ke haʻu ʻo fakamalaʻiaʻi ʻakimoutolu:
10 Ma egeghị m Belam ntị. Kama emere m ya ka ọ gọzie unu. Anapụtara m unu site nʼaka ya.
Ka naʻe ʻikai te u tokanga kia Pelami ko ia naʻa ne tāpuakiʻi pe ʻakimoutolu pea ne u fakamoʻui ʻakimoutolu mei hono nima,
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.
Pea ne mou ʻalu atu ki he kauvai ʻe taha ʻo Sioatani, ʻo hoko ki Seliko: pea naʻe tauʻi ʻakimoutolu ʻe he kau tangata ʻo Seliko; ko e kau ʻAmoli, mo e kau Pelesi, mo e kau Kēnani, mo e kau Heti, mo e kau Keakasa, mo e kau Hevi, mo e kau Sepusi; pea naʻaku tukuange ʻakinautolu ki homou nima.
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.
Pea naʻaku fekau ʻae fanga langomū ke muʻomuʻa ʻiate kimoutolu, ʻaia naʻe kapusi ʻakinautolu mei homou ʻao, ʻio, ʻae tuʻi ʻe ua ʻoe kau ʻAmoli; ka naʻe ʻikai fai ia ʻaki hoʻo heletā pē ko hoʻo kaufana ʻaʻau.
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.’
Pea kuo u foaki kiate kimoutolu ʻae fonua ʻaia naʻe ʻikai te mou ngāue ke maʻu, mo e ngaahi kolo naʻe ʻikai te mou langa, pea ʻoku mou nofo ʻi ai; ko e ngaahi ngoue vaine, mo e ngaahi ngoue ʻolive ʻaia naʻe ʻikai te mou tō ʻoku mou kai mei ai.’
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.
“Pea ko eni, mou manavahē kia Sihova, pea tauhi ia ʻi he angatonu mo e moʻoni; pea tukuange ʻiate kimoutolu ʻae ngaahi ʻotua naʻe tauhi ʻe hoʻomou ngaahi tamai ʻi he kauvai ʻe taha ʻoe vai lahi, pea mo ʻIsipite: pea mou tauhi ʻa Sihova.
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.”
Pea kapau ʻoku matamata kovi kiate kimoutolu ke tauhi ʻa Sihova, mou fili he ʻaho ni ʻaia te mou tauhi; pe ko e ngaahi ʻotua ʻaia naʻe tauhi ʻe hoʻomou ngaahi tamai, ʻaia naʻe ʻi he kauvai ʻe taha ʻoe vai lahi, pe ki he ngaahi ʻotua ʻoe kau ʻAmoli, ʻae fonua ʻonautolu ʻoku mou nofo ai: ka ko au mo hoku fale te mau tauhi ʻa Sihova.
16 Ndị Izrel niile zara sị ya, “O nweghị ihe ga-eme ka anyị hapụ Onyenwe anyị fee chi ndị ọzọ!
Pea naʻe lea ʻae kakai ʻo pehē, “Ke taʻofi ʻe he ʻOtua ke ʻoua ʻaupito naʻa mau liʻaki ʻa Sihova, ke tauhi ʻae ngaahi ʻotua kehe;
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.
He ko Sihova ko hotau ʻOtua, ko ia ia kuo ne ʻomi ʻakitautolu mo ʻetau ngaahi tamai mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite, mei he fale fakapōpula, pea ko ia naʻa ne fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa fakaʻilonga lahi ʻi hotau ʻao, ʻo ne fakamoʻui ʻakitautolu ʻi he hala kotoa pē ʻaia naʻa tau ʻalu ai, pea ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe kakai kotoa pē ʻaia naʻa tau ʻalu ai:
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.”
Pea naʻe kapusi ʻe Sihova mei hotau ʻao ʻae kakai kotoa pē, ʻio, ʻae kau ʻAmoli ʻaia naʻe nofo ʻi he fonua: ko ia foki te mau tauhi ʻa Sihova; he ko homau ʻOtua ia.”
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.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Siosiua ki he kakai, “ʻOku ʻikai te mou faʻa tauhi ʻa Sihova; he ko e ʻOtua māʻoniʻoni ia; ko e ʻOtua fuaʻa ia; ʻe ʻikai te ne fakamolemole hoʻomou ngaahi talangataʻa mo hoʻomou ngaahi angahala.
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.”
Kapau ʻoku mou liʻaki ʻa Sihova, pea tauhi ʻae ngaahi ʻotua kehe, te ne foki mai ʻo tautea ʻakimoutolu, ʻo fakaʻauha ʻakimoutolu, hili ʻa ʻene fai lelei kiate kimoutolu.”
21 Ma ndị Izrel sịrị Joshua, “Mba, kama Onyenwe anyị ka anyị ga-efe ofufe.”
Pea naʻa nau tala kia Siosiua, “ʻE ʻikai; ka te mau tauhi ʻa Sihova.”
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.”
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Siosiua ki he kakai, “Ko e kau fakamoʻoni ʻakimoutolu kiate kimoutolu kuo mou fili ʻa Sihova moʻomoutolu ke tauhi ia.” Pea naʻa nau pehē, “Ko e kau fakamoʻoni ʻakimautolu.”
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.”
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “Pea ko eni, tukuange ʻae ngaahi ʻotua kehe ʻoku ʻiate kimoutolu, pea mou fakatokangaʻi homou loto kia Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli.”
24 Ndị ahụ sịrị Joshua, “Anyị ga-efe Onyenwe anyị Chineke anyị ofufe. Anyị ga-egekwa ntị nʼolu ya, mee ihe o nyere nʼiwu.”
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he kakai kia Siosiua, “Te mau tauhi ʻa Sihova ko homau ʻOtua, pea te mau fai talangofua ki hono leʻo.”
25 Ya mere, Joshua na ndị Izrel gbara ndụ nʼụbọchị ahụ na Shekem. O nyere ha iwu na ụkpụrụ ha ga-edebe.
Ko ia naʻe fai ai ʻe Siosiua ʻae fuakava mo e kakai ʻi he ʻaho ko ia, ʻo ne fokotuʻu ʻae fekau maʻanautolu mo e tuʻutuʻuni ʻi Sikemi.
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.
Pea naʻe tohi ʻe Siosiua ʻae ngaahi lea ni ʻi he tohi ʻoe fono ʻae ʻOtua, ʻo ne ʻomi ʻae fuʻu maka lahi ʻo fokotuʻu ia ʻi he lolo oke, ʻaia naʻe ofi ki he faletapu ʻo Sihova.
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.”
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Siosiua ki he kakai kotoa pē, “Vakai, ko e fakamoʻoni ʻae maka ni kiate kitautolu; he kuo ne fanongo ki he lea kotoa pē ʻa Sihova ʻaia kuo ne folofolaʻaki kiate kitautolu: ko ia ʻe ʻiate kimoutolu ia ko e fakamoʻoni, telia naʻa mou fakafisingaʻi homou ʻOtua.”
28 Emesịa, Joshua zilara onye ọbụla, ka ha laa nʼihe nketa nke aka ha.
Pea naʻe tukuange ʻe Siosiua ʻae kakai kenau ʻalu, taki taha ʻae tangata ki hono tofiʻa.
29 Ọ dịghị anya, mgbe ihe ndị a gasịrị, Joshua nwa Nun, odibo Onyenwe anyị nwụrụ, mgbe ọ gbara narị afọ na iri.
Pea hili ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni, pea hoko ʻo pehē, naʻe pekia ʻa Siosiua ko e foha ʻo Nuni, ko e tamaioʻeiki ʻa Sihova, ka kuo teau taʻu mo e taʻu ʻe hongofulu hono motuʻa.
30 E liri ya nʼoke ala nke ihe nketa ya, na Timnat Sera, nʼime ala ugwu ugwu Ifrem, nʼakụkụ ugwu dị nʼala Gaash.
Pea naʻa nau fai hono putu ʻi he veʻe tofiʻa ʻoʻona ʻi Timinate-Sela, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he moʻunga ko ʻIfalemi, ʻi he potu tokelau ʻoe moʻunga ko Keasi.
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.
Pea naʻe tauhi ʻe ʻIsileli ʻa Sihova ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē ʻo Siosiua, mo e ʻaho kotoa pē ʻoe kau mātuʻa naʻa nau moʻui kimui ʻia Siosiua, ʻakinautolu naʻa nau ʻilo ʻae ngaahi ngāue kotoa pē ʻa Sihova, ʻaia naʻa ne fai maʻa ʻIsileli.
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.
Pea ko e hui ʻo Siosefa ʻaia naʻe hikitanga ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli mei ʻIsipite, naʻa nau tanu ʻi Sikemi, ʻi he konga fonua naʻe fakatau ʻe Sēkope mei he ngaahi foha ʻo Hemoa ko e tamai ʻa Sikemi ʻaki ʻae konga siliva ʻe teau: pea naʻe hoko ia ko e tofiʻa ʻoe fānau ʻa Siosefa.
33 Elieza nwa Erọn, nwụkwara. E liri ya nʼala ugwu ugwu ndị Ifrem, na Gibea, obodo e nyere nwa ya bụ Finehaz.
Pea naʻe pekia ʻa ʻEliesa ko e foha ʻo ʻElone; pea naʻa nau fai hono putu ʻi he moʻunga naʻe ʻo Finiasi ko hono foha, ʻaia naʻe foaki kiate ia ʻi he moʻunga ko ʻIfalemi.
