Josue 1
1 Ngayon ito ang nangyari pagkatapos mamatay si Moises, ang lingkod ni Yahweh, na nangusap si Yahweh kay Josue ang anak ni Nun, punong pumapangalawa kay Moises, sinasabing,
And after the death of Moses, the servant of the Lord, it happened that the Lord spoke to Joshua, the son of Nun, the minister of Moses, and he said to him:
2 “Namatay na si Moises na aking lingkod. Kaya ngayon, magbangon, tawirin ang Jordang ito, ikaw at lahat ng mga bayang ito, sa lupaing ibinibigay ko sa kanila—sa mga bayan ng Israel.
“Moses, my servant, has died. Rise up, and cross this Jordan, you and all the people with you, into the land which I will give to the sons of Israel.
3 Ibinigay ko sa inyo ang bawat lugar na lalakaran ng talampakan ng inyong paa. Ibinigay ko na ito sa inyo, gaya ng ipinangako ko kay Moises.
I will deliver to you every place that the step of your foot will tread upon, just as I said to Moses.
4 Magiging lupain ninyo, mula sa ilang at Lebanon hanggang sa malawak na ilog, ang Eufrates, lahat ng lupain ng mga Heteo, at sa Malawak na Dagat, kung saan lumulubog ang araw.
From the desert and from Lebanon, even to the great river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, as far as the great sea opposite the setting of the sun, shall be your border.
5 Walang sinumang makakatayo sa harap ninyo sa lahat ng araw ng inyong buhay. Sasamahan kita tulad ng pagsama ko kay Moises. Hindi kita pababayaan o iiwan kita.
No one will be able to resist you during all the days of your life. Just as I was with Moses, so will I be with you. I will not leave you, nor will I forsake you.
6 Maging malakas at matapang. Idudulot mong manahin ng mga taong ito ang lupaing ipinangako ko sa kanilang mga ninunong ibibigay ko sa kanila.
Be strengthened and be steadfast. For you shall divide by lot, to this people, the land about which I swore to their fathers that I would deliver it to them.
7 Maging malakas at napakatapang. Maging maingat na sundin ang lahat ng batas na iniutos sa inyo ng aking lingkod na si Moises. Huwag kayong lilihis mula rito sa kanan o sa kaliwa, para maging matagumpay kayo saan man kayo pupunta.
Therefore, be strengthened and be very steadfast, so that you may observe and accomplish the entire law, which Moses, my servant, instructed to you. You may not turn aside from it to the right, nor to the left. So may you understand all that you should do.
8 Palagi kang magsasalita tungkol sa aklat ng batas na ito. Pagbubulay-bulayan mo ito sa araw at gabi para masunod mo ang lahat na nakasulat dito. Sa gayon magiging maunlad ka at matagumpay.
The book of this law shall not depart from your mouth. Instead, you shall meditate upon it, day and night, so that you may observe and do all the things that are written in it. Then you shall direct your way and understand it.
9 Hindi ba iniutos ko sa iyo? Maging malakas at matapang! Huwag matakot. Huwag matakot. Kasama mo si Yahweh na iyong Diyos saan ka man pupunta.”
Behold, I am instructing you. Be strengthened, and be steadfast. Do not dread, and do not fear. For the Lord your God is with you in all things, wherever you may go.”
10 Pagkatapos inutusan ni Josue ang mga pinuno ng bayan,
And Joshua instructed the leaders of the people, saying: “Cross through the midst of the camp, and command the people, and say:
11 “Lumibot kayo sa kampo at utusan ang mga tao, 'Maghanda ng makakain para sa inyong sarili. Sa loob ng tatlong araw tatawirin ninyo ang Jordang ito at papasukin at aangkinin ang lupain na ibinibigay ni Yahweh inyong Diyos sa inyo para angkinin.”'
‘Prepare your food supplies. For after the third day, you shall cross the Jordan, and you shall enter so as to possess the land, which the Lord your God will give to you.’”
12 Sinabi ni Josue sa mga lipi ni Reubenita, mga lipi ni Gadita at sa kalahating lipi ni Manases,
Likewise, he said to the Reubenites and to the Gadites, and to the one half tribe of Manasseh:
13 “Alalahanin ang salitang iniutos sa inyo ni Moises na lingkod ni Yahweh nang sinabi niyang, 'Binibigyan kayo ng pahinga ni Yahweh na inyong Diyos, at ibinibigay niya sa inyo ang lupaing ito.'
“Remember the words, which Moses, the servant of the Lord, instructed to you, saying: ‘The Lord your God has given you rest, and has given you all the land.’
14 Mananatili sa lupaing ibinigay sa inyo ni Moises sa kabila ng Jordan ang inyong mga asawa, inyong mga maliliit, at ang inyong mga alagang hayop. Pero ang inyong mga mandirigma ay tatawid kasama ng inyong mga kapatid na lalaki at tutulungan sila
Your wives and sons, as well as the cattle, shall remain in the land which Moses delivered to you beyond the Jordan. But as for you, pass over with weapons, before your brothers, all you who are strong of hand, and fight on their behalf,
15 hanggang ipagkaloob ni Yahweh sa inyong mga kapatid na lalaki ang kapahingahan tulad ng ibinigay niya sa inyo. At aangkinin din nila ang lupaing ibinibigay sa kanila ni Yahweh na inyong Diyos. Pagkatapos babalik kayo sa sarili ninyong lupain at angkinin ito, ang lupaing ibinigay ni Moises na lingkod ni Yahweh sa kabila ng Jordan, kung saan sumisikat ang araw.”
until the Lord gives rest to your brothers, just as he has given to you, and until they also possess the land, which the Lord your God will give to them. And so shall you be returned to the land of your possession. And you shall live in the land, which Moses, the servant of the Lord, gave to you beyond the Jordan, opposite the rising of the sun.”
16 At sumagot sila kay Josue, sinabing, “Gagawin namin ang lahat ng iniutos mo sa amin, at pupunta kami saan mo man kami ipapadala.
And they responded to Joshua, and they said: “All that you have instructed to us, we shall do. And wherever you will send us, we shall go.
17 Susundin ka namin tulad ng pagsunod namin kay Moises. Nawa'y samahan ka ni Yahweh, tulad ng pagsama niya kay Moises.
Just as we obeyed Moses in all things, so shall we obey you also. But may the Lord your God be with you, just as he was with Moses.
18 Malalagay sa kamatayan ang sinumang susuway sa iyong mga utos at hindi susunod sa iyong mga salita. Maging malakas lamang at matapang.”
Whoever will contradict your mouth, and whoever will not obey all of your words, which you will instruct to him, let him die. But may you be strengthened, and may you act manfully.”
