< Josoa 1 >

1 Ie añe te nihomake t’i Mosè mpitoro’ Iehovà, le nitsara am’ Iehosoa ana’ i None, mpitoro’ i Mosè, t’Iehovà, ami’ty hoe:
Now it happened after the death of Moses the servant of the LORD, that the LORD spoke to Joshua the son of Nun, Moses' servant, saying,
2 Fa vilasy t’i Mosè mpitoroko; aa le miongaha, itsaho Iardeney, ihe naho ze hene ondaty retiañe, mb’ an-tane atoloko iareo, toe ho amo ana’ Israeleo;
Moses my servant is dead; now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, you, and all this people, to the land which I give to them, even to the children of Israel.
3 fa natoloko anahareo ze toetse lian-delam-pandia’ areo, ty amy asako amy Mosèy.
I have given you every place that the sole of your foot will tread on, as I told Moses.
4 Mifototse am-patrambey añe miharo amy Lebanone etia, pak’ amy saka beiy, i Peratey, naho ze hene tanen-te-Kète, pak’ amy Riake beiy, mb’ amy firoña’ i àndroy añey ty ho efe-tane’ areo.
From the wilderness, and this Lebanon, even to the great river, the river Perath, all the land of the Hittites, and to the Great Sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your border.
5 Leo raike t’indaty tsy hiongake hiatrek’ azo amo hene andro hiveloma’oo; manahake ty nindrezako amy Mosè ty hindrezako ama’o; tsy hilesa ama’o iraho, tsy haforintseko ka.
No man will be able to stand before you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you. I will not fail you nor forsake you.
6 Mihafatrara vaho mahasibeha; fa ihe ty hampandova ondaty retoañe i tane nifantàko aman-droae’ iareo hatoloko iareoy.
Be strong and of good courage; for you shall cause this people to inherit the land which I swore to their fathers to give them.
7 Aa le mihaozara naho mahavania, hañambeñe naho hañorike i Tsara iaby linili’ i Mosè mpitoroko azoy; ko mitolike mb’ am-pitàn-kavana ndra havia, soa te hiraorao ndra aia’ aia ty homba’o.
Only be strong and very courageous, to observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded you. Do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may have good success wherever you go.
8 Tsy hienga am-palie’o ty Boke Hake toy, ie haereñere’o handro naho haleñe, hañambeñe naho hanao ze hene misokitse ao; le hiraorao o sata’oo, vaho haharongatse.
This book of the law shall not depart out of your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it: for then you shall make your way prosperous, and then you shall have good success.
9 Aa vaho tsy liniliko hao? Mihafatrara naho mahasibeha; ko hemban-drehe ko miroreke: fa ama’o t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’o ndra aia’aia ty homba’o.
Haven't I commanded you? Be strong and of good courage. Do not be afraid, neither be dismayed: for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.
10 Aa le linili’ Iehosoa o mpiaolo’ ondatio ami’ty hoe:
Then Joshua commanded the officers of the people, saying,
11 Mirangà anteñateña’ i tobey mb’eo le afantoho ondatio ami’ty hoe: Maña­lankaña fivatiañe, fa hitsake Iardeney nahareo añate’ ty telo andro, himoak’ amy taney, hitavañe ze natolo’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo ho fanañañe.
"Pass through the midst of the camp, and command the people, saying, 'Prepare food; for within three days you are to pass over this Jordan, to go in to possess the land, which the LORD your God gives you to possess it.'"
12 Le nisaontsy amo nte-Reobeneo naho amo nte-Gadeo naho amo vakin-te Menasèo t’Iehosoa ami’ty hoe:
Joshua spoke to the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to the half-tribe of Manasseh, saying,
13 Tiahio i tsara linili’ i Mosè mpitoro’ Iehovà anahareoy, ami’ty hoe: Manolotse fitofàñe ama’ areo t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo vaho hatolo’e ama’ areo o tane atoio.
"Remember the word which Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you, saying, 'The LORD your God gives you rest, and will give you this land.
14 Hitobok’ an-tane natolo’ i Mosè anahareo alafe’ Iardeney atoy o vali’ areoo naho o keleia’ areoo naho o añombe’ areoo, f’ie hitsak’ aolo’ o rahalahi’ areoo reke-pialiañe, songa fanalolahy maozatse hañolo­rañe iareo;
Your wives, your little ones, and your livestock, shall live in the land which Moses gave you beyond the Jordan; but you shall pass over before your brothers armed, all the mighty men of valor, and shall help them
15 ampara’ te hampitofà’ Iehovà o rahalahi’ areoo, manahake ty nanoa’e anahareo, ie fa tinava’ iareo ka i tane nitolora’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo; le himpoly an-tane fanaña’ areo atoa nahareo vaho ho tavane’ areo i natolo’ i Mosè mpitoro’ Iehovà anahareo alafe’ Iardeney atoa mb’am-panjirihan’ andro añe.
until the LORD has given your brothers rest, as he has given you, and they have also possessed the land which the LORD your God gives them. Then you shall return to the land of your possession, and possess it, which Moses the servant of the LORD gave you beyond the Jordan toward the sunrise.'"
16 Tinoi’ iareo ami’ty hoe t’Iehosoa: Hene hanoe’ay ze nandilia’o anay vaho hañaveloa’ay ndra aia aia ty añiraha’o.
They answered Joshua, saying, "All that you have commanded us we will do, and wherever you send us we will go.
17 Manahake ty nañaoña’ay amy Mosè amy ze he’e, ty hañaoña’ay azo naho indreza’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o hambañe amy nindreza’e amy Mo­sèy.
Just as we listened to Moses in all things, so will we listen to you. Only may the LORD your God be with you, as he was with Moses.
18 Aa ndra ia’ia ty hiola amy an­dilia’oy, tsy hañaoñe ze hene saontsy amantoha’o aze, le havetrake, f’ihe mihaozara vaho mahasibeha.
Whoever rebels against your commandment, and doesn't listen to your words in all that you command him, he shall be put to death. Only be strong and of good courage."
