Yashuuca 23
1 Maalmo badan dabadood, markii Rabbigu reer binu Israa'iil ka nasiyey cadaawayaashoodii ku wareegsanaa, Yashuucana da' weynaa, gabowna la dhacay,
Yahweh enabled the Israelis to live peacefully [for many years] with the people-groups that were around them.
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;
Joshua was now very old. [One day] he summoned the leaders of the tribes of Israel, the leaders of the clans, the judges, and [other] officials. He said to them, “I am now very old.
3 oo idinkuna waad aragteen kulli wixii Rabbigu quruumahan oo dhan ku sameeyey idinka aawadiin; waayo, kan idiin diriray waa Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ah.
You people have seen what Yahweh our God has done to help you defeat the people-groups [that lived in this land]. Yahweh our God has fought 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.
But do not forget that he has given to you all this land, from the Jordan [River in the east] to the Mediterranean Sea in the west, all this land that I have allotted to you.
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.
Yahweh our God will compel the people who are still living there to leave. He will push them out as you advance. Then the land will be yours, as Yahweh has 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 that you obey all the laws that are in the book that Moses wrote. Do not disobey any part of it [IDM].
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,
Do not associate with the people who live among us [who are not Israelis and who worship other gods]. Do not mention the names of their gods, and do not use the names of their gods when you promise to do something. Do not serve their gods or worship them.
8 laakiin Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ah aad u sii xajista sidaad ilaa maantadan la joogo yeesheen.
You must continue to do what Yahweh our God wants us to do, as you have been doing.
9 Waayo, Rabbigu wuxuu hortiinna ka eryay quruumo waaweyn oo xoog badan; oo weliba idinka ninna idinma hor istaagin ilaa maantadan la joogo.
“Yahweh has forced [many] very powerful people-groups to leave as you advanced. No people-group has been able to defeat you.
10 Nin keliya oo idinka mid ahu kun buu eryi doonaa; waayo, kan idiin diriraa waa Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ah siduu idinkula hadlay.
Each of you will be able to cause 1,000 of them to run away, because Yahweh your God will fight for you, just like he promised to do.
11 Haddaba isjira oo jeclaada Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ah.
So be sure that you continue to love Yahweh our 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,
“If you turn away from doing what Yahweh desires and you associate with the people who are not Israelis, and if you marry them,
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.
then you can be sure that Yahweh our God will not help you to expel those people-groups from your land. They will be [like] traps [DOU, MET] [that will catch you]. They will be [like] whips [that strike] your backs, and like thorns [that will scratch] your eyes. As a result, none of you will be left in this good land that Yahweh our God is giving to 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.
“It is almost time for me to die, like everyone does [EUP]. You know in your hearts [DOU] that Yahweh has done for you [LIT] everything that he promised to do.
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.
He has given to you all the good things that he promised. In the same way, the other things that he promised, [things that are not good], will also happen. He said that if you do what is evil, he will get rid of you and send you away from this good land that he has given to 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.
That will happen if you do not obey the commands that Yahweh our God told you to obey. If you serve other gods and worship them, Yahweh will become very angry with you. Very quickly [he will expel you from] this good land that he has given to you, [and] none of you will be left here.”
