Josue 23

1 Ket kalpasan dagiti adu nga aldaw, idi inted ni Yahweh ti inana iti Israel iti amin a kabusorda a nanglikmut kadakuada, lakay unayen ni Josue.

And when a long time was passed, after that the Lord had given peace to Israel, all the nations round about being subdued, and Josue being now old, and far advanced in years:

2 Inayaban ni Josue ti entero nga Israel- dagiti panglakayenda, dagiti mangidadaulo kadakuada, dagiti ukomda, ken dagiti opisialda—ket kinunana kadakuada, “Lakayak unayen.

Josue called for all Israel, and for the elders, and for the princes, and for the judges, and for the masters, and said to them: I am old, and far advanced in years:

3 Nakitayo amin a banag nga inaramid ni Yahweh a Diosyo kadagitoy amin a nasion para iti pagsayaatanyo, ta ni Yahweh a Diosyo ti nakigubgubat para kadakayo.

And you see all that the Lord your God hath done to all the nations round about, how he himself hath fought for you:

4 Kitaenyo! Biningaybingayko kadakayo dagiti nasion a natda a sakupenyonto a kas tawid para kadagiti tribuyo, a pakairamanan dagiti amin a nasion a dinadaelkon, manipud iti Jordan agingga iti Dakkel a Baybay iti laud.

And now since he hath divided to you by lot all the land, from the east of the Jordan unto the great sea, and many nations yet remain:

5 Papanawento ida ni Yahweh a Diosyo. Paksiatennanto ida iti imatangyo. Sakupennanto ti dagada, ket tagikuaenyonto ti dagada a kas iti imbilin kadakayo ni Yahweh a Diosyo.

The Lord your God will destroy them, and take them away from before your face, and you shall possess the land as he hath promised you.

6 Agbalinkayo ngarud a napigsa unay, tapno masalimetmetan ken maaramidyo amin a naisurat iti Libro ti linteg ni Moises, a saankayo a sumiasi iti daytoy iti makannawan man wenno iti makannigid,

Only take courage, and be careful to observe all things that are written in the book of the law of Moses: and turn not aside from them neither to the right hand nor to the left:

7 tapno saankayo a mailaok kadagitoy a nasion a natda kadakayo wenno dakamaten dagiti nagan dagiti diosda, agsapata babaen kadakuada, agdayaw kadakuada, wenno agrukbab kadakuada.

Lest after that you are come in among the Gentiles, who will remain among you, you should swear by the name of their gods, and serve them, and adore them:

8 Ngem ketdi, masapul a kumpetkayo kenni Yahweh a Diosyo a kas iti inaramidyo agingga iti daytoy nga aldaw.

But cleave ye unto the Lord your God: as you have done until this day.

9 Ta pinagtalaw ni Yahweh iti sangoananyo dagiti dadakkel ken nabibileg a nasion. No maipapan kadakayo, awan ti nakabael nga agtakder iti sangoananyo agingga iti daytoy agdama nga aldaw.

And then the Lord God will take away before your eyes nations that are great and very strong, and no man shall be able to resist you.

10 Ti siasinoman a lalaki kadakayo ket kabaelanna a patarayen ti sangaribu, ta ni Yahweh a Diosyo ti makirangranget para kadakayo a kas iti inkarina kadakayo.

One of you shall chase a thousand men of the enemies: because the Lord your God himself will fight for you, as he hath promised.

11 Ipangagyo a nasayaat, tapno ayatenyo ni Yahweh a Diosyo.

This only take care of with all diligence, that you love the Lord your God.

12 Ngem no tumallikodkayo ket kumpetkayo kadagiti nakalasat kadagitoy a nasion a natda kadakayo, wenno no makiasawakayo kadakuada, wenno no makikaduakayo kadakuada ken isuda kadakayo,

But if you will embrace the errors of these nations that dwell among you, and make marriages with them, and join friendships:

13 ket ammoenyo a nasayaat a saanton a pagtalawen ni Yahweh a Diosyo dagitoy a nasion manipud kadakayo. Ngem ketdi, agbalindanto a silo ken palab-og kadakayo, saplit kadagiti bukotyo ken siit kadagiti matayo, agingga a mapukawkayo iti daytoy nasayaat a daga nga inted kadakayo ni Yahweh a Diosyo.

Know ye for a certainty that the Lord your God will not destroy them before your face, but they shall be a pit and a snare in your way, and a stumblingblock at your side, and stakes in your eyes, till he take you away and destroy you from off this excellent land, which he hath given you.

14 Ket ita mapmapanakon iti dalan iti amin a daga, ken ammoyo iti amin a pusoyo ken kararuayo nga awan ti uray maysa a sao a nagkurang a pumudno iti amin a nasayaat a banbanag nga inkari ni Yahweh a Diosyo maipanggep kadakayo. Amin dagitoy a banag ket napasamak kadakayo. Awan ti uray maysa kadagitoy a nagkurang.

Behold this day I am going into the way of all the earth, and you shall know with all your mind that of all the words which the Lord promised to perform for you, not one hath failed.

15 Ngem no kasano a natungpal ti tunggal sao nga inkari ni Yahweh a Diosyo kadakayo, kastanto met nga iyeg ni Yahweh kadakayo dagiti amin a dakes a banbanag agingga a madadaelnakayo iti daytoy nasayaat a daga nga inted kadakayo ni Yahweh a Diosyo.

Therefore as he hath fulfilled in deed, what he promised, and all things prosperous have come: so Will he bring upon you all the evils he hath threatened, till he take you away and destroy you from off this excellent land, which he hath given you,

16 Aramidenna daytoy no labsingenyo ti tulag ni Yahweh a Diosyo nga imbilinna kadakayo a salimetmetanyo. No mapankayo agdayaw kadagiti sabali a dios ken agrukbab kadakuada, ket sumgedto ti pungtot ni Yahweh kadakayo, ken dagdagus a mapukawkayonto iti nasayaat a daga nga intedna kadakayo.”

When you shall have transgressed the covenant of the Lord your God, which he hath made with you, and shall have served strange gods, and adored them: then shall the indignation of the Lord rise up quickly and speedily against you, and you shall be taken away from this excellent land, which he hath delivered to you.
