Joshua 23
1 Lẹ́yìn ọjọ́ pípẹ́, nígbà tí Olúwa sì ti fún Israẹli ní ìsinmi kúrò ní ọwọ́ àwọn ọ̀tá wọn tí ó yí wọn ká, nígbà náà Joṣua sì ti di arúgbó.
And it came to pass a long time after that Yhwh had given rest unto Israel from all their enemies round about, that Joshua waxed old and stricken in age.
2 Ó sì pe gbogbo Israẹli jọ: àgbàgbà wọn, olórí wọn, adájọ́ àti àwọn ìjòyè, ó sì sọ fún wọn pé, “Èmi ti pọ̀ ní ọdún èmi ti di arúgbó.
And Joshua called for all Israel, and for their elders, and for their heads, and for their judges, and for their officers, and said unto them, I am old and stricken in age:
3 Ẹ̀yin tìkára yín sì ti rí ohun gbogbo tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín ti ṣe sí gbogbo orílẹ̀-èdè wọ̀nyí nítorí yín, Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín ni ó jà fún yín.
And ye have seen all that Yhwh your God hath done unto all these nations because of you; for Yhwh your God is he that hath fought for you.
4 Ẹ rántí bí mo ṣe pín ogún ìní fún àwọn ẹ̀yà yín ní ilẹ̀ orílẹ̀-èdè gbogbo tí ó kù; àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè tí mo ti ṣẹ́gun ní àárín Jordani àti Òkun Ńlá ní ìwọ̀-oòrùn.
Behold, I have divided unto you by lot these nations that remain, to be an inheritance for your tribes, from Jordan, with all the nations that I have cut off, even unto the great sea westward.
5 Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín fúnra rẹ̀ yóò lé wọn jáde kúrò ní ọ̀nà yín, yóò sì tì wọ́n jáde ní iwájú yín, ẹ̀yin yóò sì gba ilẹ̀ ìní wọn, gẹ́gẹ́ bí Olúwa Ọlọ́run ti ṣe ìlérí fún yín.
And Yhwh your God, he shall expel them from before you, and drive them from out of your sight; and ye shall possess their land, as Yhwh your God hath promised unto you.
6 “Ẹ jẹ́ alágbára gidigidi, kí ẹ sì ṣọ́ra láti ṣe ìgbọ́ràn sí ohun tí a kọ sí inú ìwé òfin Mose, láìyí padà sí ọ̀tún tàbí sí òsì.
Be ye therefore very courageous to keep and to do all that is written in the book of the law of Moses, that ye turn not aside therefrom to the right hand or to the left;
7 Ẹ má ṣe ní àjọṣepọ̀ pẹ̀lú àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè tí ó ṣẹ́kù láàrín yín; ẹ má ṣe pe orúkọ òrìṣà wọn tàbí kí ẹ fi wọ́n búra. Ẹ kò gbọdọ̀ sìn wọ́n tàbí ki ẹ tẹríba fún wọn.
That ye come not among these nations, these that remain among you; neither make mention of the name of their gods, nor cause to swear by them, neither serve them, nor bow yourselves unto them:
8 Ṣùgbọ́n ẹ di Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín mú ṣinṣin gẹ́gẹ́ bí ẹ ti ń ṣe tẹ́lẹ̀ títí di àkókò yìí.
But cleave unto Yhwh your God, as ye have done unto this day.
9 “Olúwa ti lé àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè ńlá àti alágbára kúrò níwájú yín; títí di òní yìí kò sí ẹnìkan tí ó le dojúkọ yín.
For Yhwh hath driven out from before you great nations and strong: but as for you, no man hath been able to stand before you unto this day.
10 Ọ̀kan nínú yín lé ẹgbẹ̀rún ọ̀tá, nítorí tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín jà fún yín gẹ́gẹ́ bí ó ti ṣe ìlérí.
One man of you shall chase a thousand: for Yhwh your God, he it is that fighteth for you, as he hath promised you.
11 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kí ẹ ṣọ́ra gidigidi láti fẹ́ràn Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín.
Take good heed therefore unto yourselves, that ye love Yhwh your God.
12 “Ṣùgbọ́n bí ẹ bá yí padà, tí ẹ sì gba ìmọ̀ pọ̀ pẹ̀lú àwọn tó ṣẹ́kù lára àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè tí ó kù láàrín yín, tí ẹ sì ń fọmọ fún ara yín ní ìyàwó, tí ẹ sì bá wọn ní àjọṣepọ̀.
Else if ye do in any wise go back, and cleave unto the remnant of these nations, even these that remain among you, and shall make marriages with them, and go in unto them, and they to you:
13 Nígbà náà ni ẹ ó mọ̀ dájú pé Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín kì yóò lé àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè wọ̀nyí jáde mọ́ kúrò níwájú yín. Dípò èyí, wọn yóò jẹ́ ìkẹ́kùn àti tàkúté fún un yín, pàṣán ní ẹ̀yin yín àti ẹ̀gún ní ojú yín, títí ẹ ó fi ṣègbé kúrò ní ilẹ̀ dáradára yí, èyí tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín ti fi fún yín.
Know for a certainty that Yhwh your God will no more drive out any of these nations from before you; but they shall be snares and traps unto you, and scourges in your sides, and thorns in your eyes, until ye perish from off this good land which Yhwh your God hath given you.
14 “Nísinsin yìí èmi ti fẹ́ máa lọ sí ibi tí àwọn àgbà ń rè. Ẹ mọ̀ pẹ̀lú gbogbo ọkàn yín àti àyà yín pé, kò sí ohun kan tí ó kùnà nínú àwọn ìlérí rere gbogbo tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín fi fún un yín. Gbogbo ìlérí tó ti ṣe kò sí ọ̀kan tí ó kùnà.
And, behold, this day I am going the way of all the earth: and ye know in all your hearts and in all your souls, that not one thing hath failed of all the good things which Yhwh your God spake concerning you; all are come to pass unto you, and not one thing hath failed thereof.
15 Ṣùgbọ́n gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìlérí dáradára gbogbo ti Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín ti wá sí ìmúṣẹ, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Olúwa yóò mú ibi gbogbo tí ó ti kìlọ̀ wá sí orí yín, títí yóò fi pa yín run kúrò ní ilẹ̀ dáradára tí ó ti fi fún un yín.
Therefore it shall come to pass, that as all good things are come upon you, which Yhwh your God promised you; so shall Yhwh bring upon you all evil things, until he have destroyed you from off this good land which Yhwh your God hath given you.
16 Bí ẹ bá sẹ̀ sí májẹ̀mú Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín, èyí tí ó pàṣẹ fún un yín, tí ẹ bá sì lọ tí ẹ sì sin àwọn òrìṣà tí ẹ sì tẹ orí ba fún wọn, ìbínú gbígbóná Olúwa yóò wá sórí i yín, ẹ̀yin yóò sì ṣègbé kíákíá kúrò ní ilẹ̀ dáradára tí ó ti fi fún un yín.”
When ye have transgressed the covenant of Yhwh your God, which he commanded you, and have gone and served other gods, and bowed yourselves to them; then shall the anger of Yhwh be kindled against you, and ye shall perish quickly from off the good land which he hath given unto you.
