< Joshua 1 >

1 And it came to pass, after the death of Moses the servant of Yahweh, —that Yahweh spake unto Joshua son of Nun, the attendant of Moses, saying:
Erga Museen garbichi Waaqayyoo sun duʼee booddee Waaqayyo akkana jedhee Iyyaasuu ilma Nuuni gargaaraa Musee sanatti dubbate:
2 Moses my servant, is dead, —Now, therefore, arise, pass over this Jordan, thou, and all this people, into the land which I am giving unto them—unto the sons of Israel.
“Garbichi koo Museen duʼeera. Egaa amma atii fi sabni kun hundinuu gara biyya ani isaaniif, Israaʼelootaaf kennuuf jiruutti galuuf Laga Yordaanos ceʼuuf qophaaʼaa.
3 Every place whereon the sole of your foot shall tread, unto you, have I given it, —as I spake unto Moses.
Anis akkuma Museef waadaa gale sanatti iddoo miilli keessan gaʼe hunda isiniifan kenna.
4 From the desert and this Lebanon, even unto the great river—the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and unto the great sea, toward the going in of the sun, shall be your boundary.
Daangaan keessanis gammoojjiidhaa jalqabdee hamma Libaanoonitti, lagicha guddaa Efraaxiisii jalqabdee biyya Heetotaa hunda keessa baatee karaa dhiʼaatiin hamma Galaana Guddaatti balʼatti.
5 No man shall stand before thee, all the days of thy life, —as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee, I will not fail thee, neither will I forsake thee.
Bara jireenya keetii guutuu namni si dura dhaabachuu dandaʼu tokko iyyuu hin jiru. Ani akkuman Musee wajjin ture sana si wajjinis nan taʼa; ani gonkumaa si hin gatu yookaan si hin dhiisu.
6 Be firm and bold, —for, thou, shalt cause this people to inherit the land which I sware unto their fathers, —to give unto them.
Ati sababii akka isaan biyya ani abbootii isaaniitiif kennuuf kakadhe sana dhaalaniif saba kana hoogganuuf cimi; ija jabaadhus.
7 Only be very firm and bold, taking heed to do according to all the law which Moses my servant commanded thee, do not turn aside therefrom, to the right hand or to the left, —that thou mayest prosper, whithersoever thou goest.
“Cimi; ija jabaadhus. Seera garbichi koo Museen siif kenne hundumaaf of eeggannaadhaan ajajami; akka gara deemtu hundumatti siif milkaaʼuufis mirgatti yookaan bitaatti hin gorin.
8 This scroll of the law must not cease out of thy mouth, but thou must talk to thyself therein, day and night, that thou mayest take heed to do according to all that is written therein, —for, then, shalt thou make thy way prosperous, and, then, shalt thou have good success.
Kitaabni Seeraa kun afaan keetii hin buʼin. Waan isa keessatti barreeffame hunda gochuuf akka of eeggattuufis halkanii guyyaa itti yaadi. Akkasiinis ati ni badhaata; ni milkooftas.
9 Have I not commanded thee, Be firm and bold, do not start nor be dismayed, —for, with thee, is Yahweh thy God, whithersoever thou goest?
Ani akkana jedhee si hin ajajnee? Cimi; ija jabaadhus. Waan Waaqayyo Waaqni kee iddoo ati deemtu hundumatti si wajjin taʼuuf, hin sodaatin; abdiis hin kutatin.”
10 So then Joshua commanded the officers of the people, saying:
Kanaafuu Iyyaasuun akkana jedhee qondaaltota sabaa ajaje:
11 Pass ye through the midst of the camp, and command the people, saying: Make ready for yourselves, provisions, —for, in three days more, are ye to pass over this Jordan, to go in and possess the land which Yahweh your God is giving you, to possess.
“Qubata keessa dedeemaatii namootaan, ‘Galaa keessan qopheeffadhaa. Isin biyya Waaqayyo Waaqni keessan isinii kennuuf jiru sana dhaala ofii keessanii gootanii fudhachuuf bultii sadii keessatti Yordaanos ni ceetu.’”
12 And, unto the Reubenites, and unto the Gadites, and unto the half tribe of Manasseh, spake Joshua, saying:
Iyyaasuun garuu gosa Ruubeeniin, gosa Gaadiitii fi walakkaa gosa Minaaseetiin akkana jedhe:
13 Remember the word which Moses the servant of Yahweh commanded you, saying, —Yahweh your God, is granting you rest, and doth give you this land.
“Ajaja garbichi Waaqayyo Museen isinii kenne sana yaadadhaa; ‘Waaqayyo Waaqni keessan boqonnaa isinii kenna; biyya kanas isinii kenneera.’
14 Your wives, your little ones, and your cattle, shall remain in the land which Moses hath given you over the Jordan, —but, ye, shall pass over, armed, before your brethren, —all ye mighty men of valour, and shall help them;
Niitonni keessan, ijoolleen keessanii fi horiin keessan biyya Museen gama baʼa Yordaanos isinii kenne keessa haa turan; garuu namoonni keessan warri lolaaf qophaaʼan hundi obboloota keessan dura gamatti haa ceʼan. Isin obboloota keessan gargaaruu qabdu;
15 until that Yahweh shall grant rest unto your brethren, as unto you, so shall, they also, possess the land which Yahweh your God giveth them, —then shall ye return unto the land of your possession, and possess it, which Moses the servant of Yahweh hath given you over the Jordan, towards the rising of the sun.
hamma Waaqayyo akkuma isinii godhe sana isaaniifis boqonnaa kennee isaanis biyya Waaqayyo Waaqni keessan isaanii kennu dhaalanitti isaan gargaaruu qabdu. Ergasii deebitanii biyya keessan kan Museen garbichi Waaqayyo sun gama baʼa Yordaanositti karaa baʼa biiftuu isinii kenne sana ni dhaaltu.”
16 Then responded they to Joshua, saying, —All that thou hast commanded us, will we do, and, whithersoever thou shalt send us, will we go:
Isaanis akkana jedhanii Iyyaasuuf deebii kennan; “Nu waan ati nu ajajje kam iyyuu ni hojjenna; gara ati nu ergitu kam iyyuus ni deemna.
17 As in every thing we hearkened unto Moses, so, will we hearken unto thee, —only let Yahweh thy God be with thee, as he was with Moses.
Nu akkuma Museedhaaf guutumaan guutuutti ajajamne sana siifis akkasuma ni ajajamna. Waaqayyo Waaqni kee garuu akkuma Musee wajjin ture sana si wajjinis haa taʼu.
18 Any man who shall rebel against thy bidding, and not hearken unto thy words in all that thou shalt command him, shall be put to death, —only be firm and bold.
Namni ajaja keetti finciluu fi dubbii ati karaa kamiin iyyuu isa ajajjeef hin ajajamne hundi haa ajjeefamu. Ati qofti cimi; ija jabaadhus!”
