Jozue 1
1 Sima na kufa ya Moyize, mowumbu na Yawe, Yawe alobaki na Jozue, mwana mobali ya Nuni, mosungi ya Moyize:
And it was doon aftir the deeth of Moyses, seruaunt of the Lord, that the Lord spak to Josue, sone of Nun, the mynystre of Moyses, and seide to hym, Moises, my seruaunt, is deed;
2 « Moyize, mowumbu na Ngai, asili kokufa. Sik’oyo, yo elongo na bato oyo nyonso, bobongama mpo na kokatisa ebale Yordani mpe kokota na mokili oyo nakopesa bana ya Isalaele.
rise thou, and passe this Jordan, thou, and al the puple with thee, in to the lond which Y schal yyue to the sones of Israel.
3 Nakopesa bino esika nyonso oyo matambe ya makolo na bino ekonyata, ndenge nalakaki Moyize.
Y schal yyue to you ech place which the step of youre foot schal trede, as Y spak to Moyses,
4 Mokili na bino ekozala longwa na esobe kino na bangomba ya Libani oyo bozali komona, mpe longwa na Ebale monene, ebale Efrate, mokili nyonso ya bato ya Iti kino na Ebale monene, na ngambo ya weste: yango nde ekozala mokili na bino.
fro the deseert and Liban til to the greet flood Eufrates; al the lond of Etheis, `til to the greet see ayens the goyng doun of the sunne, schal be youre terme.
5 Na mikolo nyonso ya bomoi na yo, moto moko te akolonga kotelemela yo. Ndenge nazalaki elongo na Moyize, ndenge wana mpe nakozala elongo na yo; nakotika yo te mpe nakosundola yo te.
Noon schal mow ayenstonde you in alle the daies of thi lijf; as Y was with Moises, so Y schal be with thee; Y schal not leeue, nether Y schal forsake thee.
6 Zala makasi mpe yika mpiko, pamba te yo nde okokamba bato oyo mpe okopesa bango mokili oyo nalakaki kopesa lokola libula epai ya batata na bango na nzela ya ndayi.
Be thou coumfortid, and be thou strong; for thou schalt departe bi lot to this puple the lond, for which Y swoor to thi fadris, that Y schulde yyue it to hem.
7 Kasi zala makasi mpe yika mpiko, sala keba ete otosa mibeko nyonso oyo Moyize, mowumbu na Ngai, apesaki yo; komeka te kobima libanda na yango, ezala na ngambo ya loboko ya mobali to na ngambo ya loboko ya mwasi, mpo ete okoka kolonga na makambo nyonso oyo okosala.
Therfor be thou coumfortid, and be thou ful strong, that thou kepe and do al the lawe, which Moyses, my seruaunt, comaundide to thee; bowe thou not fro it to the riyt side, ether to the left side, that thou vndirstonde alle thingis whiche thou doist.
8 Sala ete maloba ya buku oyo ya Mobeko ewumela tango nyonso na monoko na yo; tangaka mpe kanisaka yango butu mpe moyi, mpo ete osala kolanda nyonso oyo ekomami kati na yango. Na bongo nde okokende liboso mpe okolonga kati na misala na yo nyonso.
The book of this lawe departe not fro thi mouth, but thou schalt thenke therynne in daies and nyytis, that thou kepe and do alle thingis that ben writun therynne; thanne thou schalt dresse thi weie, and schalt vndirstonde it.
9 Boni, nalobaki na yo te: Zala makasi mpe yika mpiko? Kozala na somo te mpe kolemba nzoto te, pamba te Ngai Yawe, Nzambe na yo, nakozala elongo na yo na bisika nyonso oyo okokende. »
Lo! Y comaunde to thee; be thou coumfortid, and be thou strong; nyle thou drede `withoutforth, and nyle thou drede withynne; for thi Lord God is with thee in alle thingis, to whiche thou goost.
10 Jozue apesaki mitindo epai ya bakambi ya bato:
And Josue comaundide to the princis of the puple, and seide, Passe ye thoruy the myddis of the castels; and comaunde `ye to the puple, and seie ye, Make ye redi metis to you,
11 « Botambola kati na molako mpe boloba na bato: ‹ Bobongisa bilei na bino, pamba te sima na mikolo misato, bokokatisa ebale Yordani na esika oyo mpo na kokende kobotola mokili oyo Yawe, Nzambe na bino, asili kopesa bino. › »
for after the thridde dai ye schulen passe Jordan, and ye schulen entre to welde the lond, which youre Lord God schal yyue to you.
12 Kasi Jozue alobaki na bato ya libota ya Ribeni, na bato ya libota ya Gadi, mpe na bato ya ndambo ya libota ya Manase:
Also he seide to men of Ruben, and `to men of Gad, and to the half lynage of Manasses, Haue ye mynde of the word which Moises,
13 — Bobosana te Mobeko oyo Moyize, mowumbu ya Yawe, apesaki bino: « Yawe, Nzambe na bino, apesaki bino bopemi mpe mabele oyo. »
the `seruaunt of the Lord, comaundide to you, and seide, Youre Lord God hath youe to you reste and al the lond;
14 Kaka basi, bana mpe bibwele na bino nde bakoki kotikala na mabele oyo Moyize apesaki bino na ngambo ya este ya Yordani. Kasi bilombe na bino nyonso ya etumba basengeli kolata bibundeli, kokatisa mpe kotambola liboso ya bandeko na bino. Bokosunga bandeko na bino
youre wyues and youre sones and beestis schulen dwelle in the lond which Moises yaf to you biyende Jordan; but passe ye armed, `alle strong in hond, bifor youre britheren; and fiyte ye for hem,
15 kino Yawe akopesa bango mpe bopemi ndenge asalaki mpo na bino, mpe kino tango bango mpe bakobotola mokili oyo Yawe, Nzambe na bino, apesi bango. Na sima na yango nde bokoki kozonga mpe kovanda na mabele na bino moko, mabele oyo Moyize, mosali na Yawe, apesaki bino na ngambo ya este ya Yordani, na ngambo oyo moyi ebimelaka.
til the Lord yyue reste to youre britheren, as `he yaf also to you, and `til also thei welden the lond which youre Lord God schal yyue to hem; and so turne ye ayen in to the lond of youre possessioun, and ye schulen dwelle in that lond which Moises, `seruaunt of the Lord, yaf to you ouer Jordan, ayens the `rysyng of the sunne.
16 Bazongiselaki Jozue: — Tokosala nyonso oyo okotinda biso mpe tokokende esika nyonso oyo okotinda biso.
And thei answeriden to Josue, and seiden, We schulen do alle thingis whiche thou comaundidist to vs, and we schulen go, whidir euer thou sendist vs;
17 Ndenge totosaki Moyize na makambo nyonso, ndenge wana mpe tokotosa yo. Tika ete Yawe, Nzambe na yo, azala elongo na yo ndenge azalaki elongo na Moyize!
as we obeieden in alle thingis to Moises, so we schulen obeie also to thee; oneli thi Lord God be with thee, as he was with Moyses.
18 Moto nyonso oyo akotombokela mitindo na yo to akotosa te maloba na yo na likambo nyonso oyo okotinda, akokufa. Tika ete ozala makasi mpe oyika mpiko!
Die he that ayenseith thi mouth, and obeieth not to alle thi wordis, whiche thou comaundist to hym; oneli be thou coumfortid, and do thou manli.
