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:
After Moses, who served Yahweh [well], died, Yahweh said to Nun’s son Joshua, who had been Moses’ assistant,
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;
“[You know that] my servant Moses is [now] dead. So now get ready to lead all these [Israeli] people across the Jordan [River]. Enter the land that I will soon give to you.
3 fa natoloko anahareo ze toetse lian-delam-pandia’ areo, ty amy asako amy Mosèy.
I will give to you all the land that you walk on, as I promised 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.
That land will extend from the desert [in the south], to the Lebanon [Mountains in the northwest], and to the big Euphrates River [in the northeast], and to the Mediterranean Sea on the west. [It will include] all the land where the descendants of Heth [live].
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 group will be able to oppose [and defeat] you during your life. I will help you as I helped Moses. I will always be with [LIT] you; I will never forsake you.
6 Mihafatrara vaho mahasibeha; fa ihe ty hampandova ondaty retoañe i tane nifantàko aman-droae’ iareo hatoloko iareoy.
“Be strong and courageous, because you are the one who will lead these Israeli people [and enable them] to possess the land that I solemnly promised to their ancestors that I would 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.
Just be strong and very courageous. Be sure to obey all the laws that my servant Moses gave to you. In order that you may be successful wherever you go, do not stop obeying any of them [IDM].
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.
Make sure to habitually read [to the people some of] the laws [that God gave Moses]. Meditate on those laws [every] day and [every] night. And be sure to obey all those laws. If you do that, you will be successful in everything that you do [DOU].
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.
Do not forget [RHQ] that I have commanded you to be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid, and do not be discouraged, because I, Yahweh, your God, will (be with/help) you wherever you go.”
10 Aa le linili’ Iehosoa o mpiaolo’ ondatio ami’ty hoe:
Then Joshua commanded the leaders of the people of Israel,
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.
“Go throughout the camp and tell the people this: ‘Prepare all the food that you will take with you, because the day after tomorrow you will cross this Jordan [River], in order to possess the land that Yahweh, our God, is about to give you.’”
12 Le nisaontsy amo nte-Reobeneo naho amo nte-Gadeo naho amo vakin-te Menasèo t’Iehosoa ami’ty hoe:
But to the [clans that were] descendants of Reuben and Gad, and to the half clan [that were descendants] of Manasseh, Joshua said,
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.
“Do not forget what Moses, the servant of Yahweh, commanded you: ‘Yahweh, your God, has given you this land in order that you can [live here] safely/peacefully.’
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 and your children and your livestock may stay [here] in this land on the east side of the Jordan [River], but all your soldiers must cross [the river], ahead of the people of the other tribes. They must take all their weapons with them. You must continue to help your fellow Israelis
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 they are able to live there safely/peacefully, as Yahweh has enabled you to do. You must help them until after they have conquered all the people in the land that Yahweh, your God, is giving them. After that, your soldiers may return to live in this land that Moses gave to you here on the east side of the Jordan [River].”
16 Tinoi’ iareo ami’ty hoe t’Iehosoa: Hene hanoe’ay ze nandilia’o anay vaho hañaveloa’ay ndra aia aia ty añiraha’o.
The people answered Joshua, “We will do everything that you have commanded us to do, and we will go wherever you tell us to 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.
As we obeyed all that Moses told us to do, we will obey all that you tell us to do. We pray that Yahweh will (be with/help) you as he (was with/helped) 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.
Anyone who (rejects what you say/opposes you) and does not obey what you command [DOU], we will execute. But we want you to be strong and courageous!”
