Joshua 1
1 Lẹ́yìn ikú u Mose ìránṣẹ́ Olúwa, Olúwa sọ fún Joṣua ọmọ Nuni, olùrànlọ́wọ́ ọ Mose,
Now after the death of Moses the servant of Yahweh, Yahweh spoke to Joshua the son of Nun, Moses’ servant, saying,
2 “Mose ìránṣẹ́ mi ti kú. Nísinsin yìí, ìwọ àti gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn wọ̀nyí, ẹ múra láti kọjá odò Jordani lọ sí ilẹ̀ tí Èmi ó fi fún wọn fún àwọn ará Israẹli.
“Moses my servant is dead. Now therefore arise, go across this Jordan, you and all these people, to the land which I am giving to them, even to the children of Israel.
3 Èmi yóò fún un yín ní gbogbo ibi tí ẹ bá fi ẹsẹ̀ ẹ yín tẹ̀, gẹ́gẹ́ bí mo ti ṣe ìlérí fún Mose.
I have given you every place that the sole of your foot will tread on, as I told Moses.
4 Ilẹ̀ ẹ yín yóò fẹ̀ láti aginjù Lebanoni, àti láti odò ńlá, ti Eufurate—gbogbo orílẹ̀-èdè Hiti títí ó fi dé Òkun Ńlá ní ìwọ̀-oòrùn.
From the wilderness and this Lebanon even to the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and to the great sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your border.
5 Kì yóò sí ẹnikẹ́ni tí yóò le è dúró níwájú rẹ ní ọjọ́ ayé è rẹ gbogbo. Bí mo ti wà pẹ̀lú u Mose, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Èmi yóò wà pẹ̀lú rẹ, Èmi kì yóò fi ọ́ sílẹ̀, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Èmi kì yóò kọ̀ ọ́.
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 “Jẹ́ alágbára kí o sì mú àyà le, nítorí ìwọ ni yóò ṣe amọ̀nà àwọn ènìyàn wọ̀nyí, láti lè jogún ilẹ̀ tí mo ti búra fún àwọn baba ńlá a wọn láti fi fún wọn.
“Be strong and courageous; for you shall cause this people to inherit the land which I swore to their fathers to give them.
7 Jẹ́ alágbára, kí o sì mú àyà le gidigidi. Kí o sì ṣọ́ra láti pa gbogbo òfin tí Mose ìránṣẹ́ mi fún ọ mọ́, má ṣe yà kúrò nínú u rẹ̀ sí ọ̀tún tàbí sí òsì, kí ìwọ kí ó lè ṣe rere níbikíbi tí ìwọ bá ń lọ.
Only be strong and very courageous. Be careful to observe to do according to all the law which Moses my servant commanded you. Don’t turn from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may have good success wherever you go.
8 Má ṣe jẹ́ kí ìwé òfin yìí kúrò ní ẹnu rẹ, máa ṣe àṣàrò nínú u rẹ̀ ní ọ̀sán àti ní òru, kí ìwọ kí ó lè ṣọ́ra láti ṣe gbogbo nǹkan tí a kọ sí inú u rẹ̀. Nígbà náà ni yóò dára fún ọ, ìwọ yóò sì ní àṣeyọrí.
This book of the law shall not depart from 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 Èmi kò ha ti pàṣẹ fún ọ bí? Jẹ́ alágbára kí o sì mú àyà le. Má ṣe bẹ̀rù, má sì ṣe rẹ̀wẹ̀sì, nítorí pé Olúwa à rẹ yóò wà pẹ̀lú rẹ ní ibikíbi tí ìwọ bá ń lọ.”
Haven’t I commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Don’t be afraid. Don’t be dismayed, for Yahweh your God is with you wherever you go.”
10 Báyìí ni Joṣua pàṣẹ fún olórí àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀,
Then Joshua commanded the officers of the people, saying,
11 “Ẹ la ibùdó já, kí ẹ sì sọ fún àwọn ènìyàn, ‘Ẹ pèsè oúnjẹ yín sílẹ̀. Ní ìwòyí ọ̀túnla, ẹ̀yin yóò la Jordani yìí kọjá, láti gba ilẹ̀ tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín fi fún un yín láti ní.’”
“Pass through the middle 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 Yahweh your God gives you to possess.’”
12 Ṣùgbọ́n Joṣua sọ fún àwọn ará a Reubeni, àwọn ará Gadi àti fún ìdajì ẹ̀yà Manase pé,
Joshua spoke to the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to the half-tribe of Manasseh, saying,
13 “Rántí àṣẹ tí Mose ìránṣẹ́ Olúwa pa fún yín: ‘Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín á fún yin ní ìsinmi, òun yóò sì fún un yín ní ilẹ̀ yìí.’
“Remember the word which Moses the servant of Yahweh commanded you, saying, ‘Yahweh your God gives you rest, and will give you this land.
14 Àwọn ìyàwó yín, àwọn ọmọ yín àti àwọn ẹran ọ̀sìn yín lè dúró ní ilẹ̀ tí Mose fún un yin ní ìlà-oòrùn Jordani; ṣùgbọ́n gbogbo àwọn jagunjagun un yín, pẹ̀lú ìhámọ́ra ogun gbọdọ̀ kọjá síwájú àwọn arákùnrin yín. Ẹ̀yin yóò sì rán àwọn arákùnrin yín lọ́wọ́
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 títí Olúwa yóò fi fún wọn ní ìsinmi, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ó ti ṣe fún un yín, àti títí tí àwọn pẹ̀lú yóò fi gba ilẹ̀ náà tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín fi fún wọn. Lẹ́yìn náà, ẹ̀yin lè padà sí ilẹ̀ ìní in yín, tí Mose ìránṣẹ́ Olúwa fi fún un yin ní agbègbè ìlà-oòrùn ti Jordani.”
until Yahweh has given your brothers rest, as he has given you, and they have also possessed the land which Yahweh your God gives them. Then you shall return to the land of your possession and possess it, which Moses the servant of Yahweh gave you beyond the Jordan toward the sunrise.’”
16 Nígbà náà ni wọ́n dá Joṣua lóhùn pé, “Ohunkóhun tí ìwọ pàṣẹ fún wa ni àwa yóò ṣe, ibikíbi tí ìwọ bá rán wa ni àwa yóò lọ.
They answered Joshua, saying, “All that you have commanded us we will do, and wherever you send us we will go.
17 Gẹ́gẹ́ bí àwa ti gbọ́rọ̀ sí Mose nínú ohun gbogbo, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni àwa yóò máa gbọ́ tìrẹ. Kí Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ wà pẹ̀lú rẹ, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ó ṣe wà pẹ̀lú u Mose.
Just as we listened to Moses in all things, so will we listen to you. Only may Yahweh your God be with you, as he was with Moses.
18 Ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá tàpá sí ọ̀rọ̀ rẹ, tí kò sì ṣe ìgbọ́ràn sí ọ̀rọ̀ rẹ nínú ohun gbogbo tí ìwọ yóò pàṣẹ fún wọn, pípa ni a ó pa á. Kí ìwọ sá à ṣe gírí, kí ó sì mú àyà le!”
Whoever rebels against your commandment, and doesn’t listen to your words in all that you command him shall himself be put to death. Only be strong and courageous.”
