Yashuuca 23

1 Maalmo badan dabadood, markii Rabbigu reer binu Israa'iil ka nasiyey cadaawayaashoodii ku wareegsanaa, Yashuucana da' weynaa, gabowna la dhacay,

A long time later, after the Lord had given peace to the Israelites from conflict with their enemies around them, Joshua, by now really old,

2 ayaa Yashuuca u yeedhay reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan, iyo waayeelladoodii, iyo madaxdoodii, iyo xaakinnadoodii, iyo saraakiishoodii, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Anigu waan da' weynahay oo gabow baan la dhacay;

summoned all the Israelites—the elders, leaders, judges, and officials—and told them, “I'm old, getting on in years.

3 oo idinkuna waad aragteen kulli wixii Rabbigu quruumahan oo dhan ku sameeyey idinka aawadiin; waayo, kan idiin diriray waa Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ah.

You've seen everything the Lord your God has done to all the nations on your behalf—the Lord your God has been fighting for you.

4 Bal eega waan idiin qaybiyey quruumahan hadhay inay qabiilooyinkiinna dhaxal u ahaadaan, tan iyo Webi Urdun iyo kulli quruumihii aan gooyay, iyo xataa tan iyo xagga gabbalku u dhaco ee badda weyn.

I have allotted the land of the remaining nations for you to own, as well as the nations already conquered, from the Jordan to the Mediterranean Sea.

5 Oo Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ahu iyaga hortiinnuu ka tuuri doonaa, oo idinka hor eryi doonaa, oo markaasaad dalkooda hantiyi doontaan, sidii Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ahu idinkula hadlay.

The Lord your God will make them retreat from you. He will drive them out before you and you will take possession of their land, as the Lord your God promised you.

6 Sidaas daraaddeed aad u dhiirranaada inaad xajisaan oo yeeshaan kulli waxa ku qoran kitaabkii sharcigii Muuse, iyo inaydnaan sharcigaas uga leexan xagga midigta iyo xagga bidixda toona.

Be sure to observe everything that is written in the book of the Law of Moses. Don't stray from it, either to the left or to the right.

7 Oo iska jira inaydnaan quruumahaas dhex iman, kuwaasoo ah kuwa idinku dhex hadhay, oo magacyada ilaahyadoodana marnaba ha soo hadalqaadina, ninnana ha ku dhaaranina, hana u adeegina, hana u sujuudina kolnaba,

Don't associate with the nations that are left. Don't mention the names of their gods, and don't swear by them, worship them, or bow down to them.

8 laakiin Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ah aad u sii xajista sidaad ilaa maantadan la joogo yeesheen.

Stay close to the Lord your God, as you have done up to now.

9 Waayo, Rabbigu wuxuu hortiinna ka eryay quruumo waaweyn oo xoog badan; oo weliba idinka ninna idinma hor istaagin ilaa maantadan la joogo.

The Lord has driven out strong, powerful nations before you. No one has been able to stand up to you to this day.

10 Nin keliya oo idinka mid ahu kun buu eryi doonaa; waayo, kan idiin diriraa waa Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ah siduu idinkula hadlay.

Just one of you can chase away a thousand enemies, for the Lord your God is fighting for you, as he promised you.

11 Haddaba isjira oo jeclaada Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ah.

Take great care to love the Lord your God.

12 Haddaadse dib ugu noqotaan oo aad u xajisataan kuwa ka hadhay quruumahan, kuwaas oo ah kuwa idinku dhex hadhay, haddaad guursataan oo aad isdhex gashaan, oo iyana ay idin dhex galaan,

For if you do turn from him, and adopt the ways of the nations that are left, if you intermarry with them, associating with one other,

13 markaas xaqiiq ahaan u ogaada inuusan Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ahu mar dambe quruumahaas hortiinna ka eryayn, laakiinse waxay idinku noqon doonaan siriq iyo dabin, oo markaasay dhinacyada idinka karbaashi doonaan, oo indhahana qodxan idinkaga mudi doonaan, ilaa aad ka baabba'daan dalkan wanaagsan oo Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ahu idin siiyey.

you can be absolutely sure that the Lord your God will definitely not drive out these nations before you. On the contrary, they will be a trap and a snare to you, a whip on you back and thorns in your eyes until you die out completely from this good land the Lord your God has given you.

14 Bal eega, maanta waxaan mari doonaa jidka dadka dhulka jooga oo dhan; idinkuna waad ku og tihiin qalbigiinna oo dhan iyo naftiinna oo dhan, inaan wax keliyuhu ka baaqan kulli wixii wanaagsanaa oo Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ahu xaggiinna kaga hadlay; laakiinse kulligood way idiin wada ahaadeen oo mid keliyuhu kama baaqan.

Now I am about to die, the fate of every living thing on the earth. Deep down you know that not a single one of the Lord's good promises has failed. Everything has come true. Not one has failed.

15 Oo siday waxyaalihii wanaagsanaa idiinku soo wada degeen, kuwaasoo ahaa kuwii Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ahu idinkula hadlay, ayaa Rabbigu idiinku soo dejin doonaa waxyaalaha sharka ah oo dhan, ilaa uu idinka baabbi'iyo dalkan wanaagsan oo Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ahu idin siiyey.

But in the same way that you received all the good things that the Lord you God promised, the Lord will bring on you all the bad things he has threatened until you're completely wiped out from this good land the Lord your God has given you.

16 Markaad ku xadgudubtaan axdigii Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ahu idinku amray, oo aad ka tagtaan, ee aad u adeegtaan ilaahyo kale, oo aad iyaga u sujuuddaan, de markaasaa cadhada Rabbigu idinku kululaan doontaa, oo aad haddiiba ka baabbi'i doontaan dalka wanaagsan oo uu idin siiyey.

If you break the agreement the Lord your God made with you, and you go and worship other gods, bowing down before them, then the Lord will become angry with you, and you will be quickly wiped out from the good land he has given you.”
