Joshua 1

1 Tukun Moses, mwet kulansap lun LEUM GOD, el misa, LEUM GOD El kaskas nu sel Joshua, wen natul Nun su tuh mwet kasru lal Moses, ac fahk,

Now after the death of Moses the servant of the LORD, the LORD spoke to Joshua the son of Nun, Moses’ servant, saying,

2 “Moses mwet kulansap luk el misa. Inge kom tuyak ac us mwet inge ac fahla sasla Infacl Jordan, nu ke acn se nga ac sang nu selos mwet Israel.

“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 Yen nukewa kowos ac fahsr we uh nga sot tuh in ma lowos, oana nga tuh fahk nu sel Moses.

I have given you every place that the sole of your foot will tread on, as I told Moses.

4 Pa inge masrol ke acn lowos uh: mutawauk yen mwesis eir utyak sun Fineol Lebanon epang, sifilpa mutawauk infacl lulap Euphrates kutulap, fahsr sasla acn lun mwet Hit ac safla ke Meoa Mediterranean roto.

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 towards the going down of the sun, shall be your border.

5 Joshua, wangin mwet ac fah kutangkomla ke lusen moul lom. Nga ac fah wi kom oana nga tuh welul Moses. Nga fah tia fahsr liki kom ac nga ac fah wi kom pacl e nukewa.

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 Kom in ku ac pulaikna, tuh kom pa mwet kol lun mwet inge ke elos ac fah eis facl se su nga tuh wuleang nu sin papa tumalos mu nga ac fah sang tuh in acn selos.

“Be strong and courageous; for you shall cause this people to inherit the land which I swore to their fathers to give them.

7 Ma se na, kom in ku ac pulaikna. Kom in karinganang ac akos ma sap nukewa ma Moses, mwet kulansap luk, el sapkin nu sum. Nik kom kuhfla liki ma inge, na kom ac fah akinsewowoyeyuk yen nukewa kom som nu we uh.

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 Book in Ma Sap se inge ac fah tia tui srumunya sum, ac kom fah nunku kac ke len ac fong. Kom in liyaung ma nukewa ma simla loac an, na moul lom ac fah kapkapak ac kom fah insewowo.

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 Esam lah nga fahk tari nu sum tuh kom in ku ac pulaikna. Nik kom sangeng ku fuhleak, tuh nga, LEUM GOD lom, ac fah wi kom yen nukewa kom fahsr we.”

Haven’t I commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Don’t be afraid. Don’t be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.”

10 Ouinge Joshua el sapkin nu sin mwet kol

Then Joshua commanded the officers of the people, saying,

11 tuh elos in fahsrelik nu yurin mwet lalos inmasrlon lohm nuknuk nukewa selos ac fahk, “Kowos in ako mongo nowos an, mweyen tukun len tolu kowos ac fahsr sasla Infacl Jordan nu ke sie facl sasu su LEUM GOD El ac fah sot tuh in mwe usru lowos.”

“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 the LORD your God gives you to possess.’”

12 Na Joshua el fahk nu sin mwet in sruf lal Reuben, sruf lal Gad, ac tafu sruf lal Manasseh,

Joshua spoke to the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to the half-tribe of Manasseh, saying,

13 “Kowos in esam lah Moses, mwet kulansap lun LEUM GOD, el tuh fahk nu suwos lah LEUM GOD lowos El ac fah sot facl se inge, su oan kutulap liki Infacl Jordan, tuh in acn suwos.

“Remember the word which Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you, saying, ‘The LORD your God gives you rest, and will give you this land.

14 Mutan kiowos, tulik nutuwos ac kosro nutuwos ac fah muta in acn se inge. Na mwet mweun lowos, wi mwe mweun natulos, ac fahsr sasla Infacl Jordan meet liki mwet Israel wialos, in loangelos

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 valour, and shall help them

15 nwe ke na elos sruokya lefahl roto in Infacl Jordan, su LEUM GOD lowos El sang nu selos. Tukun God El oru tuh sruf nukewa lun mwet Israel in muta ke misla ac okaki in acn selos, na kowos fah ku in foloko ac oakwuki in acn se inge kutulap in Infacl Jordan, su Moses, mwet kulansap lun LEUM GOD, el tuh sot nu suwos.”

until the LORD has given your brothers rest, as he has given you, and they have also possessed the land which the LORD your God gives them. Then you shall return to the land of your possession and possess it, which Moses the servant of the LORD gave you beyond the Jordan towards the sunrise.’”

16 Na elos topkol Joshua ac fahk, “Kut fah oru ma nukewa kom sapkin nu sesr, ac som nu yen nukewa kom supwekut nu we.

They answered Joshua, saying, “All that you have commanded us we will do, and wherever you send us we will go.

17 Kut fah akos kom oana ke kut tuh aksol Moses, ac kut finsrak tuh LEUM GOD lom el fah wi kom oana el tuh welul Moses!

Just as we listened to Moses in all things, so will we listen to you. Only may the LORD your God be with you, as he was with Moses.

18 Kutena mwet su lain ma sap lom ku seakos kas lom ac fah anwuki. Ma se na, kom in ku ac pulaikna!”

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.”
