< 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 after [the] death of Moses [the] servant of Yahweh and he said Yahweh to Joshua [the] son of Nun [the] servant of Moses saying.
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.
Moses servant my he has died and therefore arise pass over the Jordan this you and all the people this into the land which I [am] about to give to them to [the] people of Israel.
3 Nakopesa bino esika nyonso oyo matambe ya makolo na bino ekonyata, ndenge nalakaki Moyize.
Every place which it will tread [the] sole of foot your on it to you I have given it just as I spoke to Moses.
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.
From the wilderness and Lebanon this and to the river great [the] river of Euphrates all [the] land of the Hittites and to the sea great [the] setting of the sun it will be territory your.
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.
Not he will stand anyone before you all [the] days of life your just as I was with Moses I will be with you not I will abandon you and not I will leave you.
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 strong and be bold for you you will cause to inherit the people this the land which I swore to fathers their to give to them.
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.
Only be strong and be bold exceedingly to take care to do according to all the law which he commanded you Moses servant my may not you turn aside from it right and left so that you may prosper in every where you will go.
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.
Not it will depart [the] book of the law this from mouth your and you will meditate on it by day and night so that you may take care to do according to every [thing] written in it for then you will make successful ways your and then you will be successful.
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. »
¿ Not have I commanded you be strong and be bold may not you be terrified and may not you be dismayed for [is] with you Yahweh God your in every where you will go.
10 Jozue apesaki mitindo epai ya bakambi ya bato:
And he commanded Joshua [the] officers of the people saying.
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. › »
Pass - in [the] midst of the camp and command the people saying prepare for yourselves food for in yet - three days you [are] about to pass over the Jordan this to go to take possession of the land which Yahweh God your [is] about to give to you to take possession of it.
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:
And to the Reubenite[s] and to the Gadite[s] and to [the] half of [the] tribe of Manasseh he said Joshua saying.
13 — Bobosana te Mobeko oyo Moyize, mowumbu ya Yawe, apesaki bino: « Yawe, Nzambe na bino, apesaki bino bopemi mpe mabele oyo. »
Remember the word which he commanded you Moses [the] servant of Yahweh saying Yahweh God your [is] giving rest to you and he will give to you the land this.
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
Wives your little one[s] your and livestock your they will remain in the land which he gave to you Moses on [the] other side of the Jordan and you you will pass over arrayed for battle before brothers your all [the] mighty [men] of strength and you will help them.
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.
Until that he will give rest Yahweh - to brothers your like you and they will take possession of also they the land which Yahweh God your [is] about to give to them and you will return to [the] land of possession your and you will take possession of it which - he gave to you Moses [the] servant of Yahweh on [the] other side of the Jordan [the] rising of the sun.
16 Bazongiselaki Jozue: — Tokosala nyonso oyo okotinda biso mpe tokokende esika nyonso oyo okotinda biso.
And they answered Joshua saying all that you have commanded us we will do and to every where you will send us we will go.
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!
According to all that we listened to Moses so we will listen to you only may he be Yahweh God your with you just as he was with Moses.
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!
Every person who he will rebel toward mouth your and not he will obey words your to all that you will command him he will be put to death only be strong and be bold.
