Jozue 23
1 Sima na Yawe kopesa bopemi na Isalaele liboso ya banguna nyonso oyo bazingelaki bango, elekaki tango molayi. Bongo, Jozue akomaki mobange, mpe mibu ya bomoi na ye epusanaki makasi.
Forsothe whanne myche tyme was passid after that the Lord had youe pees to Israel, for alle naciouns `in cumpas weren suget; and whanne Josue was thanne of long lijf, and `of ful eld age, Josue clepide al Israel,
2 Boye, Jozue abengisaki Isalaele mobimba: bampaka na yango, bakambi na yango, basambisi elongo na bakalaka na yango. Alobaki na bango: « Nakomi mobange mpe mibu ya bomoi na ngai epusani makasi.
and the grettere men in birthe, and the princes, and dukis, and maistris, and seide to hem, Y `wexide elde, and Y am of grettere age;
3 Bino moko bomonaki makambo nyonso oyo Yawe, Nzambe na bino, asalaki liboso ya bikolo oyo nyonso mpo na bolamu na bino, pamba te ezalaki Yawe, Nzambe na bino, nde azalaki kobundela bino.
and ye seen alle thingis whiche youre Lord God hath do to alle naciouns `bi cumpas, hou he fauyt for you.
4 Bobosana te ndenge nini nazalaki kobeta zeke mpo na kokabolela mabota na bino lokola libula, mokili ya bikolo oyo etikali mpe ya bikolo oyo nabotolaki wuta na Yordani kino na Ebale monene, na ngambo ya weste.
And now for he departide to you bi lot al the lond, fro the eest part of Jordan `til to the grete see, and many naciouns ben left yit,
5 Yawe, Nzambe na bino, nde akobengana bango, Ye moko, mosika liboso na bino; akobengana bango liboso na bino mpe bokozwa mokili na bango ndenge Yawe, Nzambe na bino, alakaki.
youre Lord God `schal distrie hem, and schal take awei fro youre face; and ye schulen welde the lond, as he bihiyte to you.
6 Boyika mpiko mpe bosenzela mpo na kotosa makambo nyonso oyo ekomama kati na buku ya Mobeko ya Moyize; bokende libanda na yango te.
Oneli be ye coumfortid, and be ye bisy, that ye kepe alle thingis that ben writun in the book of Moises lawe, and bowe not awei fro tho, nether to the riyt side nether to the left side,
7 Bosala boyokani te elongo na bikolo mosusu oyo etikali kati na bino, bobelela bakombo ya banzambe na yango te to mpe bolapa ndayi na bakombo na yango te. Bomeka kosalela yango te mpe bofukamela yango te.
lest aftir that ye han entrid to the hethene men, that schulen be among you, ye swere in the name of `the goddis of hem, and ye serue tho goddis, and worschipe hem.
8 Kasi bokangama makasi na Yawe, Nzambe na bino, ndenge bozali kosala kino na mokolo ya lelo.
But cleue ye to youre Lord God, which thing ye han do `til in to this dai;
9 Yawe abenganaki bikolo ya minene mpe ya nguya liboso na bino; mpe kino na moyi ya lelo, moko te alongi kotelema liboso na bino.
and thanne the Lord God schal do awei in youre siyt grete folkis, and strongeste; and noon schal mow ayenstonde you.
10 Moto moko kaka kati na bino azalaki kokimisa bato nkoto moko, pamba te Yawe, Nzambe na bino, azalaki kobundela bino ndenge alakaki.
Oon of you schal pursue a thousynde men of enemyes, for youre Lord God schal fiyte for you, as he bihiyte.
11 Boye, bosala keba ete bolinga Yawe, Nzambe na bino.
Be ye war bifore moost diligentli of this thing oneli, that ye loue youre Lord God.
12 Kasi soki bopesi Yawe mokongo, mpe soki bosali boyokani elongo na bato oyo babiki kati na bikolo oyo etikali kati na bino; soki bosali mabala mpe bosangani elongo na bango,
That if ye wolen cleue to the errouris of these folkis that dwellen among you, and wolen medle mariagis with hem, and couple frenschipis,
13 boyeba ete Yawe, Nzambe na bino, akobengana lisusu te bikolo yango liboso na bino. Bakokoma nde minyama mpe mitambo mpo na bino, bafimbu na mikongo na bino mpe banzube kati na miso na bino, kino tango bokosila kokufa na mokili ya kitoko oyo Nzambe na bino apesaki bino.
wite ye riyt now, that `youre Lord God schal not do awei hem bifor youre face, but thei schulen be to you in to a dich, and a snare, and in to hirtyng of youre side, and in to stakis in youre iyen, til youre Lord God take awei you, and distrie fro this beste loond, which he yaf to you.
14 Sik’oyo ngai nakomi pene ya kokende na nzela oyo moto nyonso akendaka. Na motema mpe elimo na bino mobimba, boyeba ete elaka moko te kati na bilaka nyonso ya kitoko oyo Yawe, Nzambe na bino, apesaki bino ekotikala kokweya. Bilaka nyonso esila kokokisama, moko te ekotikala kokweya.
Lo! Y entre to dai in to the weye of al erthe; and ye schulen knowe `with al soule, that of al wordis whiche the Lord bihiyte hym silf to yyue to you, not oon passide in veyn.
15 Ndenge kaka bilaka nyonso ya kitoko ya Yawe, Nzambe na bino, ekokisamaki solo, ndenge wana mpe akotindela bino makambo mabe kino tango akosilisa koboma bino kati na mokili ya kitoko oyo apesaki bino
Therfor as he fillide in werk that, that he bihiyte, and alle thingis bifelden `bi prosperite, so he schal brynge on you whateuer thing of yuelis he manaasside, til he take awei you, and distrie fro this beste lond, which he yaf to you.
16 soki bobebisi boyokani ya Yawe, Nzambe na bino, oyo apeselaki bino mitindo, mpe bokeyi kosalela banzambe mosusu mpe kofukamela yango. Kanda ya Yawe ekotumba bino mpe bokosila kokufa noki penza na mokili ya kitoko oyo apesaki bino. »
For ye braken the couenaunt of `youre Lord God, which he made with you, and serueden alien goddis, and worschipeden hem, sone and swiftli the strong veniaunce of the Lord schal rise `on to you; and ye schulen be takun awei fro this beste lond, which he yaf to you.
