Josoa 1
1 Ary rehefa maty Mosesy, mpanompon’ i Jehovah, dia hoy Jehovah tamin’ i Josoa, zanak’ i Nona, mpanompon’ i Mosesy:
And it comes to pass after the death of Moses, servant of YHWH, that YHWH speaks to Joshua son of Nun, minister of Moses, saying,
2 Efa maty Mosesy mpanompoko; koa mitsangàna, mità ity Jordana ity ianao sy ireo olona rehetra ireo ho any amin’ ny tany izay omeko azy, dia ny Zanak’ Isiraely.
“My servant Moses is dead, and now, rise, pass over this Jordan, you and all this people, to the land which I am giving to them, to the sons of Israel.
3 Ny tany rehetra izay hodiavin’ ny faladianareo dia efa nomeko anareo, araka izay voalazako tamin’ i Mosesy.
Every place on which the sole of your foot treads, I have given it to you, as I have spoken to Moses.
4 Hatramin’ ny efitra sy iry Libanona iry ary hatramin’ ny ony lehibe, dia ny ony Eofrata, ny tany rehetra izay an’ ny Hetita, ka hatramin’ ny Ranomasina Lehibe any andrefana no ho taninareo.
From this wilderness and Lebanon, and to the great river, the Euphrates River, all the land of the Hittites, and to the Great Sea—the going in of the sun—is your border.
5 Tsy hisy olona hahajanona eo anoloanao amin’ ny andro rehetra hiainanao; tahaka ny nombako an’ i Mosesy no hombako anao koa; tsy handao anao na hahafoy anao Aho.
No man stations himself before you all [the] days of your life; as I have been with Moses, I am with you, I do not fail you, nor forsake you;
6 Mahereza sy matanjaha; fa ianao no hampandova ity firenena ity ny tany izay nianianako tamin’ ny razany homena azy.
be strong and courageous, for you cause this people to inherit the land which I have sworn to their fathers to give to them.
7 Koa mahereza sy matanjaha tsara ianao, hitandremanao hanao araka ny lalana rehetra, izay nandidian’ i Mosesy mpanompoko anao; aza miala aminy, na ho amin’ ny ankavanana, na ho amin’ ny ankavia, mba hambinina ianao amin’ izay rehetra alehanao.
Only, be strong and very courageous, to observe to do according to all the Law which Moses My servant commanded you; you do not turn aside from it right or left, so that you act wisely in every [place] to where you go;
8 Aoka tsy hiala amin’ ny vavanao ity bokin’ ny lalàna ity, fa saintsaino andro aman’ alina, hitandremanao hanao araka izay rehetra voasoratra eo; ary amin’ izany dia hahalavorary ny lalanao ianao sady hambinina.
the scroll of this Law does not depart out of your mouth, and you have meditated in it by day and by night, so that you observe to do according to all that is written in it, for then you cause your way to prosper, and then you act wisely.
9 Tsy efa nandidy anao va Aho? Koa mahereza sy matanjaha; aza matahotra na mivadi-po, fa momba anao Jehovah Andriamanitrao amin’ izay rehetra alehanao.
Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous; do not be terrified nor frightened, for your God YHWH [is] with you in every [place] to where you go.”
10 Ary Josoa nandidy ny mpifehy ka nanao hoe:
And Joshua commands the authorities of the people, saying,
11 Andeha mamaky ny toby, ka mandidia ny olona hoe: Manamboara vatsy ho anareo; fa raha afaka hateloana, dia hita ity Jordana ity ianareo ka hiditra sy handova ny tany izay omen’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrareo ho lovanareo.
“Pass over into the midst of the camp, and command the people, saying, Prepare provision for yourselves, for within three days you are passing over this Jordan, to go in to possess the land which your God YHWH is giving to you to possess it.”
12 Ary ny Robenita sy ny Gadita ary ny antsasaky ny firenen’ i Manase dia nilazan’ i Josoa hoe:
And to the Reubenite, and to the Gadite, and to the half of the tribe of Manasseh, Joshua has spoken, saying,
13 Tsarovy ny teny izay nandidian’ i Mosesy, mpanompon’ i Jehovah, anareo hoe: Jehovah Andriamanitrareo manome fitsaharana ho anareo, ary homeny ho anareo izao tany izao.
“Remember the word which Moses, servant of YHWH, commanded you, saying, Your God YHWH is giving rest to you, and He has given this land to you;
14 Ny vadinareo sy ny zanakareo madinika ary ny biby fiompinareo dia hitoetra eo amin’ ny tany izay nomen’ i Mosesy anareo etỳ an-dafin’ i Jordana; fa ianareo lehilahy mahery rehetra dia samy ho voaomana hiady ka hita eo alohan’ ny rahalahinareo hanampy azy,
your wives, your infants, and your substance, abide in the land which Moses has given to you beyond the Jordan, and you pass over by fifties, before your brothers, all the mighty men of valor, and have helped them,
15 mandra-panomen’ i Jehovah fitsaharana ny rahalahinareo tahaka anareo, ka mba holovany kosa ny tany izay nomen’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrareo azy; dia hiverina ho any amin’ ny taninareo ianareo ka handova azy, dia ilay nomen’ i Mosesy, mpanompon’ i Jehovah, anareo etỳ an-dafy atsinanan’ i Jordana.
until YHWH gives rest to your brothers as to yourselves, and they have possessed, even they, the land which your God YHWH is giving to them; then you have turned back to the land of your possession, and have possessed it, which Moses, servant of YHWH, has given to you beyond the Jordan, [at] the sun-rising.”
16 Dia namaly an’ i Josoa izy ireo ka nanao hoe: Izay rehetra andidianao anay dia hataonay; ary izay rehetra anirahanao anay dia halehanay.
And they answer Joshua, saying, “All that you have commanded us we do; and to every [place] to where you send us, we go;
17 Araka ny nihainoanay an’ i Mosesy tamin’ ny zavatra rehetra no hihainoanay anao koa; homba anao anie Jehovah Andriamanitrao tahaka ny nombany an’ i Mosesy.
according to all that we listened to [from] Moses, so we listen to you; surely your God YHWH is with you as He has been with Moses.
18 Izay rehetra mandà ny didinao ka tsy mihaino ny teninao amin’ izay rehetra andidianao azy dia hatao maty; koa mahereza sy matanjaha ianao.
Any man who provokes your mouth, and does not hear your words, in all that you command him, is put to death; only, be strong and courageous.”
