Joshua 1
1 Lẹ́yìn ikú u Mose ìránṣẹ́ Olúwa, Olúwa sọ fún Joṣua ọmọ Nuni, olùrànlọ́wọ́ ọ Mose,
And it comes to pass after the death of Moses, servant of YHWH, that YHWH speaks to Joshua son of Nun, minister of Moses, 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.
“My servant Moses is dead, and now, rise, pass over this Jordan, you and all this people, to the land which I am giving to them, to the sons 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.
Every place on which the sole of your foot treads, I have given it to you, as I have spoken to 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 this wilderness and Lebanon, and to the great river, the Euphrates River, all the land of the Hittites, and to the Great Sea—the going in of the sun—is 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 stations himself before you all [the] days of your life; as I have been with Moses, I am with you, I do 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 cause this people to inherit the land which I have sworn to their fathers to give to 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, to observe to do according to all the Law which Moses My servant commanded you; you do not turn aside from it right or left, so that you act wisely in every [place] to where 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.
the scroll of this Law does not depart out of your mouth, and you have meditated in it by day and by night, so that you observe to do according to all that is written in it, for then you cause your way to prosper, and then you act wisely.
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.”
Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous; do not be terrified nor frightened, for your God YHWH [is] with you in every [place] to where you go.”
10 Báyìí ni Joṣua pàṣẹ fún olórí àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀,
And Joshua commands the authorities 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 over into the midst of the camp, and command the people, saying, Prepare provision for yourselves, for within three days you are passing over this Jordan, to go in to possess the land which your God YHWH is giving to you to possess it.”
12 Ṣùgbọ́n Joṣua sọ fún àwọn ará a Reubeni, àwọn ará Gadi àti fún ìdajì ẹ̀yà Manase pé,
And to the Reubenite, and to the Gadite, and to the half of the tribe of Manasseh, Joshua has spoken, 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, servant of YHWH, commanded you, saying, Your God YHWH is giving rest to you, and He has given this land to you;
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 infants, and your substance, abide in the land which Moses has given to you beyond the Jordan, and you pass over by fifties, before your brothers, all the mighty men of valor, and have helped 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 YHWH gives rest to your brothers as to yourselves, and they have possessed, even they, the land which your God YHWH is giving to them; then you have turned back to the land of your possession, and have possessed it, which Moses, servant of YHWH, has given to you beyond the Jordan, [at] the sun-rising.”
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.
And they answer Joshua, saying, “All that you have commanded us we do; and to every [place] to where you send us, we 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.
according to all that we listened to [from] Moses, so we listen to you; surely your God YHWH is with you as He has been 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!”
Any man who provokes your mouth, and does not hear your words, in all that you command him, is put to death; only, be strong and courageous.”
