Yahweh enabled the Israelis to live peacefully [for many years] with the people-groups that were around them.
2 Anante Josua'a maka Israeli vahe'ma, ranra vahe'ma, ugagota kva vahe'ma, naneke refko hu kva vahetamine, vahete ugagota hu'naza vahe'tamina ke hige'za azageno amanage huno zamasami'ne, Nagra rama'a kafu manite'na menina ozafaroe.
Joshua was now very old. [One day] he summoned the leaders of the tribes of Israel, the leaders of the clans, the judges, and [other] officials. He said to them, “I am now very old.
3 Hanki Ra Anumzana tamagri Anumzamo'ma tamaza huno tamagu vazi'nea zana tamagra'a hago ke'naze. Na'ankure Ra Anumzana tamagri Anumzamo Agra'a tamaza huno ha' vahetamia hara huzmante'ne.
You people have seen what Yahweh our God has done to help you defeat the people-groups [that lived in this land]. Yahweh our God has fought for you.
4 Hanki menina ama kea antahi ankereho, ha'ma huzamanteta e'ori'nona mopane, ko'ma hahu zamagatereta eri'nona mopama, Jodani tinteti agafa huteno vuno zage ufre kaziga Mediterenia hagerinte'ma uhanati'nea mopa, ana maka hago refko hu'na nagate nofite hu'na tamugeta erisantihare'naze.
But do not forget that he has given to you all this land, from the Jordan [River in the east] to the Mediterranean Sea in the west, all this land that I have allotted to you.
5 Ra Anumzana tamagri Anumzamo tamavugatira ha' vahe'tamia zamahe'natitresigeta, Ra Anumzamo'ma huvempama huramante'nea kante anteta mopazamia erigahaze.
Yahweh our God will compel the people who are still living there to leave. He will push them out as you advance. Then the land will be yours, as Yahweh has promised you.
6 E'ina hu'negu Mosese'ma kasege avontafepima krente'nea nanekemofona kva hu'neta hankavetita, avariri fatgo nehuta, rukrahe hu kanti kama osiho.
“Be sure that you obey all the laws that are in the book that Moses wrote. Do not disobey any part of it [IDM].
7 Hanki amama emani'naza mopafi vahe'enena taragoteta omanita, zamagri anumzamofo agi'a amu'nontamifina oheta, ana anumzantamimofo zamagirera huvempa osutma, eri'zana erinozmanteta, tamarenareta monora huozamanteho.
Do not associate with the people who live among us [who are not Israelis and who worship other gods]. Do not mention the names of their gods, and do not use the names of their gods when you promise to do something. Do not serve their gods or worship them.
8 Hu'neanagi tamagra ko'ma hutma neazaza hutma, Ra Anumzana tamagri Anumzamofona otretma azeriko'na hiho.
You must continue to do what Yahweh our God wants us to do, as you have been doing.
9 Na'ankure tusi'a hankavenentake ranra kumapi vahe'tamina Ra Anumzamo zamahenatitre'ne. Ana higeno mago vahe'mo'e huno tamagrira tamazeri otrageta manita menina ama knarera ehanati'naze.
“Yahweh has forced [many] very powerful people-groups to leave as you advanced. No people-group has been able to defeat you.
10 Hagi magoke magokemoka 1tauseni'a vahera amne zamorotgo hugahane. Na'ankure Ra Anumzana tamagri Anumzamo'a huvempa hu'nea kea amage anteno hara tamaza huno nehie.
Each of you will be able to cause 1,000 of them to run away, because Yahweh your God will fight for you, just like he promised to do.
11 Ana hu'negu tamagra kva hunetma Ra Anumzana tagri Anumzamofona tamagu'areti hutma avesinteho.
So be sure that you continue to love Yahweh our God.
12 Hianagi tamagrama tagri Anumzama atretma, ama emani'nona mopafi vahe'enema ru tragoteta manige, zamagripinti'ma a'ma erige'ma hanazana,
“If you turn away from doing what Yahweh desires and you associate with the people who are not Israelis, and if you marry them,
13 tamagra antahi'naze, Ra Anumzana tamagri Anumzamo'a tamaza huno hara ana vahera huzmanteno, zamahenati otregahie. Hagi ana hanige'zma tamagrane mani'ne'za mago krifugna nehu'za, sefu kanonu vahe'mofo amagenafi rutraga huno ata amiankna hu'za tamata nerami'za, ave've tra'zamo zamavufi azeriankna nehanigeta, ana maka'mota knazampi mani'neta ama ana knare mopama Ra Anumzana tagri Anumzamo'ma tami'nea mopafina frigahaze.
then you can be sure that Yahweh our God will not help you to expel those people-groups from your land. They will be [like] traps [DOU, MET] [that will catch you]. They will be [like] whips [that strike] your backs, and like thorns [that will scratch] your eyes. As a result, none of you will be left in this good land that Yahweh our God is giving to you.
14 Hanki nagra kofta huna fri'nugu, tamagra tamagu'areti huta hago antahi'naze, Ra Anumzana tagri Anumzamo'ma tamigahue huno huvempama hu'nea zantamina ana maka tamivagare'ne. Hagi magore huno huvempa hu'nea kemo'a hantaga osutfa hu'ne.
“It is almost time for me to die, like everyone does [EUP]. You know in your hearts [DOU] that Yahweh has done for you [LIT] everything that he promised to do.
15 Tamage, Ra Anumzamo'ma huvempama hu'nenuno'a, kea amage anteno kema hu'nea zana tro nehie. Anahukna huno Ra Anumzamo'ma kore kema huramanteno tamigahue huno'ma hu'nesia knazanteti, knazana tamino tamazeri haviza hanigeta, ama knare mopama tami'nea mopafina omanita fri vagaregahaze.
He has given to you all the good things that he promised. In the same way, the other things that he promised, [things that are not good], will also happen. He said that if you do what is evil, he will get rid of you and send you away from this good land that he has given to you.
16 Hanki tamagrama Ra Anumzana tamagri Anumzamo'ma huvempama huramante'nea kasegema agatenereta ke'ama rutagreta vuta havi anumzamofo eri'za vahe manige, tamarenareta mono huntege'ma hanazana, Ra Anumzamofo rimpahe'zamo'a tamagrite ena, ama knare mopama tamigeta mani'naza mopafintira frita omanigahaze.
That will happen if you do not obey the commands that Yahweh our God told you to obey. If you serve other gods and worship them, Yahweh will become very angry with you. Very quickly [he will expel you from] this good land that he has given to you, [and] none of you will be left here.”
