Zosua 24

1 Hanki Josua'a ana maka Israeli vahera nagate nofite huno Sekemu kumate zamavaretru hu'ne. Anante ranra vahe'ma, ugagota kva vahe'ma, keaga refkohu kva vahe'ma, avoma kreno eri antefatgoma hu eri'za vahera kehige'za vu'za Anumzamofo avure ome atru hu'naze.

Joshua summoned all the tribes of Israel to Shechem. Then he called the elders, leaders, judges, and officials and they came and stood before the Tabernacle of God.

2 Anante Josua'a ana maka veara amanage huno zamasami'ne, Ra Anumzana Israeli vahe'mota Anumzamo amanage huno hu'ne, Korapara neramageho'za Yufretisi timofo kantu kaziga mani'ne'za havi anumzantaminte monora hunteme azageno eno, neramageho Abrahamune Nahori kizani neznafa Tera knafina ehanati'ne.

Joshua said to all the people, “The Lord, the God of Israel, says this: ‘Long, long ago your forefathers, including Terah, the father of Abraham and Nahor, lived beyond the Euphrates River, and they worshiped other gods.

3 Hianagi neramafa ne' Abrahamuna Yufretisi timofo kantu kaziga me'nea moparegati avrete'na vugota hunte'na maka Kenani mopafina vano nehu'na, agehe'mokizmia zamazeri rama'a nehu'na, zage mofavrea Aisakina ami'noe.

I brought your father Abraham from beyond the Euphrates and led him through all the land of Canaan and gave him many descendants. I gave him Isaac.

4 Ana hute'na Aisakina tare ne' mofavrea Jekopune, Isone ami'noe. Hanki Seiria agona mopa Isona ami'noanagi, Jekopu'ene mofavre naga'amo'za Isipi moparega urami'naze.

I gave to Isaac Jacob and Esau. I gave to Esau the hill country of Seir to own, but Jacob and his children went down to Egypt.

5 Hanki anantera Mosesene Aroninena huzanantogeke Isipi vake'na, tusia knazanteti Isipi vahera zamazeri haviza nehu'na, tamagrira anampinti Nagra'a tamavre'na atiramino'e.

I sent Moses and Aaron, and I brought plagues on the people of Egypt, and I brought you out.

6 Hanki Nagra tamafahe'ina Isipiti zamavare'na atirami'na hagerinkenare oge'za, Isipi vahe'mo'za karisine hosi afu agumpi mani'ne'za zamarotgo hu'za korankre hagerinte e'naze.

Yes, I brought your forefathers out, but when you arrived at the Red Sea the Egyptians were chasing after your forefathers with chariots and horsemen.

7 Hianagi Ra Anumzamo'narega zamaza hanugu zavi krafage nehazage'na, zamagri'ene Isipi vahe amu'nozamifina haninku hugeno haninkino refko huzmante'ne. Hageri huntogeno Isipi sondia vahera maka zamaherefite'ne. Hanki ana'ma Isipi vahete'ma huazana tamagra tamavufinti ke'naze. Hanki tamagra za'zate ka'ma kokampina manita vano hu'naze.

Your forefathers called out to the Lord for help, and he placed darkness between you and the Egyptians. Then he brought the sea back over them and they drowned. You saw what I did with your own eyes in Egypt. Then you lived for many years in the wilderness.

8 Hanki Nagra zamavare'na Jodani timofo kantu zage hanati kaziga, Amori vahe mopare vuge'za, hara huramante'nazanagi Nagra tamazampi zamavarentogeta hara huzamagtere'naze. Hanki negazage'na zamazeri haviza hugeta, mopazamia eri'naze.

After that I brought you to the land of the Amorites who lived on the other side of the Jordan. They fought against you but I handed them over to you to defeat and you took over their land. I destroyed them before you.

9 Hagi henka Moapu kini ne' Zipori nemofo Baraki'ma Israeli vahe'ma ha'ma huzmanteku'ma nehuno'a, Beori nemofo Balamuna Israeli vahe kazusi ke huzmantenogu kea atrente'ne.

When Balak, son of Zippor, the king of Moab, wanted to fight against Israel, he sent for Balaam, son of Beor, to come and curse you.

10 Hianagi Nagra Ra Anumzamo'na Balamu'ma hiankea antahiomi'na, nagra hugeno asomu ke huramante'ne. Hige'na Nagra Balaki azampintira tamagu'vazi'noe.

But I wasn't willing to listen to Balaam, so instead he blessed you repeatedly, and saved you from Balak.

11 Hanki tamagra Jodani tima takahetama Jerikoma azage'za, Jeriko kumate vahe'mo'za hara hurmante'naze. Ana zanke hu'za Amori vahe'ma, Perisi vahe'ma, Kenani vahe'ma, Hiti vahe'ma, Girgasi vahe'ma, Hivi vahe'ma, Jebusi vahe'mo'zanena hara hurmante'nazanagi, Nagra tamaza hu'na tamazampi zamavarentogeta hara huzmagatere'naze.

You crossed the Jordan and arrived at Jericho where the men of Jericho fought against you. So did the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Girgashites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites.

12 Hagi Nagra'a tamagritera vugote'na nevu'na ha' vahe'tmia zamatazamina, zamazeri koro hu'noe. Ana'ma huazamo higeke tare Amori kini netremokea korora fre'na'e. Tamagra'a bainati kazinteti'ene ati keve tamiretira hara huznanteta zanavre otre'naze.

But I handed them over to you to defeat. And I sent the hornet before you to drive out the two kings of the Amorites. You did not win using your swords or your bows!

13 Hanki tamagra'a eri'zana e'ori'naza mopane, tamagra'a onki'naza ranra kumatamugeta nemanita, tamagra'a tamazampinti onkri'naza waini hozafinti'ene olivi hozafintira tagitma ne'naze.

I gave you a land you didn't work for and towns you didn't build. Now you live in them and eat from vineyards and olive groves you didn't plant.’

14 E'ina hu'negu menina Ra Anumzamofona koro huntetma tamagu'areti tamage hutma monora hunenteta eri'zana erinteho. Hagi timofo kantu kaziga Isipima tamagehe'zama mani'ne'za mono'ma hunte'naza havi anumzantamintera monora huonteta, Ra Anumzamofonke monora hunteho.

So respect the Lord and worship him, sincerely and faithfully. Get rid of the gods your forefathers worshiped beyond the Euphrates and in Egypt, and worship the Lord.

15 Hagi Ra Anumzamofo mono'ma hunenteta eri'zama erinte'zanku'ma tamavesrama hanigeta menina iza monora huntegahazafi huama hiho. Tamafahe'zama Yufretisi timofo kantu kaziga Mesapotomia mopare mono hunte'naza havi anumzante monora huntegahazafi, Amori vahe'ma mopazamifima emani'naza vahe'mokizmi havi anumzantaminte monora huntegahazo? Hianagi nagrane a'mofavre ni'anena, Ra Anumzamofo tagra monora hunenteta eri'zana erintegahune.

But if you don't want to worship the Lord, choose today who you want to worship! Is it going to be the gods your forefathers worshipped beyond the Euphrates? Or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you're now living? But as for me and my family, we will worship the Lord!”

16 Anante ana maka vea kevumo'za kenona'a amanage hu'naze, tagra tamagerafa huta Ra Anumzana atreta mago'a havi anumzantera monora huozmantegahune.

The people responded, “We are never going to give up on the Lord and worship other gods!

17 Na'ankure Agra Ra Anumzana tagri Anumzamo Agra'a, tafahe'ine tagri'enena Isipi vahe kazokzo eri'zama erinezmantompintira tavreno etirami'ne. Ana huteno tavufinti negonkeno, ana maka kaguvazana eri fore nehuno, kama e'nompina hakare'a kuma vahe mani'nazanagi Anumzamo'a kva hurantegeta amu'nozmifina e'none.

For the Lord our God brought us and our forefathers out of slavery in Egypt. He was the one who did great miracles before our very eyes. He looked after us on the way as we traveled through the lands of many nations.

18 Hanki ko'ma ama mopafima mani'naza vahe'ene, Amori vahe'enena negonkeno Ra Anumzamo'a zamahenati atre'ne. E'ina hu'negu tagranena Ra Anumzamofo monora hunenteta eri'zama'a erintegahune. Na'ankure Agrake tagri Anumzana mani'ne.

The Lord drove out before us the Amorites and all the other nations who were living in the land. So we will worship the Lord, for he is our God!”

19 Hanki Josua'a amanage huno zamasami'ne, Tamagra Ra Anumzamofona monora hunenteta eri'zana eriontegahaze. Na'ankure Agra ruotage hu'neno, kanivere Anumza mani'neankino, tamagri kumi'ene, hazenkema hu'naza kumira apase oramantegahie.

Joshua told the people, “Remember that the Lord is a holy and jealous God. You won't be able to worship him, and he won't forgive your rebellion and sins

20 Hanki tamagrama Ra Anumzamofo tamefi hunemita, ru vahe'mofo havi anumzantaminte mono'ma huntesnazana, Agra knare huno kegava huramanteno e'neanagi, rukrahe huno rimpa aheneramanteno knazanteti tamagrira tamahe fanane hugahie.

if you give up on him and worship foreign gods. He will turn against you and destroy you despite all the good he has done for you.”

21 Hianagi vea kevumo'za Josuana amanage hu'za asmi'naze, i'o tagra Ra Anumzana Agrike monora huntegahune.

“Don't say that!” the people replied. “We will worship the Lord!”

22 Anante Josua'a anage huno vea kevua zamasami'ne, tamagra'a huama nehutma, huvempa hutma Ra Anumzana Agrike monora hunenteta eri'zama'a erintegahune nehazo? Hige'za, izo tagra'a tagipinti huama huta nehune.

Then Joshua cautioned the people, “You have made yourselves witnesses against yourselves by saying that you have chosen to worship the Lord.” “Yes, we are witnesses,” the people replied.

23 Hanki Josua'a mago'ane zamasamino, ru vahe'mokizmi havi anumzantamima tamagranema me'neana eri netreta, Rana Israeli vahe'mota Ra Anumzante tamagu'a rukrahe huta amage anteho.

“Then get rid of those foreign gods you have and promise to be loyal only to the Lord, the God of Israel,” Joshua told them.

24 Hanki vea kevumo'za Josuana asami'za, Ra Anumzana tagri Anumzamofo monora hunenteta, eri'zama'a erinenteta, Agri kemofo amage'a antegahune.

The people said to Joshua, “We will worship the Lord our God and we will obey him.”

25 Hanki ana zupa Josua'a Sekemu kumate vea nagara Anumzanema huhagerafi huvempa kea nezamasamino, kasegene tra kenena amage antehogu zamasami'ne.

So Joshua made a solemn agreement between the people and the Lord that day in Shechem, obligating them to follow all the Lord's laws and instructions.

26 Hanki ana nanekeramina Ra Anumzamofo kasegema me'nea avontafepi Josua'a krente'ne. Ana huteno, anante Josua'a mago ra have erino Ra Anumzamofo seli mono noma me'nea tavaonte oki zafa agafare retrure'ne.

Joshua recorded this in the Book of the Law of God, and he set up a large stone under the oak tree near the Lord's sanctuary.

27 Anama huteno Josua'a maka vea kevumofona amanage huno zamasami'ne, keho, maka zupa ama havema negeta tagrama huvempama hu'nona kegu tagesa antahigahune. Ra Anumzamo'ma tasamia nanekea ama havema negesuta, ama ana havemo mago avame'za me'nenketa Anumzamofo nanekea ruotagregahune.

Joshua said to the people, “Look at this stone. It stands here as a witness against us for it has heard everything the Lord has told us, and it will be a witness against you if you ever deny what you have promised your God.”

28 Anagema huteno Josua'a ana maka veara huzamantege'za erisantimahare'za nemaniza kumatega vu'za e'za hu'naze.

Then Joshua dismissed the people, sending them to their allotted lands.

29 Hanki anazama huvagareteno zaza kna omani'neno Ra Anumzamofo eri'za ne' Nuni nemofo Josuana, kafu'amo'a 110ni hutegeno fri'ne.

Later, after all this, Joshua, son of Nun, servant of the Lord, died at the age of one hundred and ten.

30 Hige'za Gasi agonamofo noti kaziga Efraemi naga'mokizmi agona mopamofo asoparega, Timnat Sera rankumate agra'ama erisantimahare'nea mopafi asente'naze.

They buried him in Timnath-serah in the hill country of Ephraim, north of Mount Gaash, the land he had been allocated.

31 Hanki Israeli vahe'mo'za Josua'ma kasefa huno mani'nea knafine, agranema ranra vahe'mo'zama Ra Anumzamo'ma mikazama hiazama ke'naza vahe'mokizmi knafina Israeli vahe'mo'za Ra Anumzamofona monora hunte'za eri'zana erinte'naze.

The Israelites continued to worship the Lord throughout Joshua's life, and throughout the lifetimes of the elders who outlived him, those who had seen all that the Lord had done for Israel.

32 Hanki Israeli vahe'mo'zama Josefe zaferinama Isipiti'ma eri'zama e'nazana Sekemu asente'naze. Anama asente'naza mopa Hamori vahe'mokizmi nezamafa Sekemuna 100'a silva zago nemino Jekopu'a mizase'nea mopafi asente'naze. Hanki Israeli vahe'mo'zama Josefe zaferinama asentete'za, ana mopa Josefe naga'mokizmi su'zane hu'za refko huzmi'naze.

The bones of Joseph, which the Israelites had brought with them from Egypt, they buried in Shechem in the piece of ground Jacob had bought from the sons of Hamor, the father of Shechem, for one hundred pieces of silver. This land was inherited by Joseph's sons.

33 Hanki Aroni nemofo Eleaza'ma frige'za Gibea kumate asente'naze. Ana Gibea rankumara Efraemi naga'mokizmi agona moparega Eleazari nemofo Finiasi ami'naza rankumate asente'naze.

And Eleazar, son of Aaron, died and they buried him at Gibeah, in the hill country of Ephraim, land which had been given to his son Phinehas.
