Joshua 1
1 And it cometh to pass after the death of Moses, servant of Jehovah, that Jehovah speaketh unto Joshua son of Nun, minister of Moses, saying,
Mgbe Mosis, bụ odibo Onyenwe anyị nwụrụ, Onyenwe anyị gwara Joshua nwa Nun, onye na-enyere Mosis aka okwu sị,
2 'Moses my servant is dead, and now, rise, pass over this Jordan, thou, and all this people, unto the land which I am giving to them, to the sons of Israel.
“Mosis, odibo m anwụọla. Ugbu a, jikere onwe gị, meekwa ka ndị m jikere ịgafe ofe ọzọ nke osimiri Jọdan, ịbanye nʼala ahụ m na-aga inye ha, bụ ndị Izrel.
3 'Every place on which the sole of your foot treadeth, to you I have given it, as I have spoken unto Moses.
Ana m agwa gị ihe m gwara Mosis mgbe ọ dị ndụ sị, Ebe ọbụla unu ga-azọkwasị ụkwụ unu nʼala, ala ahụ ga-abụ nke unu.
4 From this wilderness and Lebanon, and unto the great river, the river Phrath, all the land of the Hittites, and unto the great Sea — the going in of the sun — is your border.
Oke ala unu ga-abụ site nʼọzara dị na ndịda ruo Lebanọn, ma site nʼiyi ukwu Yufretis, tinyere ala niile nke ndị Het, ruo nʼosimiri ukwu ahụ dị nʼọdịda anyanwụ.
5 'No man doth station himself before thee all days of thy life; as I have been with Moses, I am with thee, I do not fail thee, nor forsake thee;
Ọ dịghị onye ọbụla pụrụ iguzo imegide gị ụbọchị niile nke ndụ gị. Aga m anọnyere gị dịka m si nọnyere Mosis. Agaghị m ahapụ gị aka. Agaghị m agbakụtakwa gị azụ.
6 be strong and courageous, for thou — thou dost cause this people to inherit the land which I have sworn to their fathers to give to them.
Dịrị ike, nweekwa ume, nʼihi na ị ga-abụ onye ga-edu ndị a iketa ala ahụ m ṅụrụ nʼiyi inye nna nna ha ochie.
7 'Only, be strong and very courageous, to observe to do according to all the law which Moses My servant commanded thee; thou dost not turn aside from it right or left, so that thou dost act wisely in every [place] whither thou goest;
“Naanị dịrị ike, nweekwa ume. Lezie anya ime ihe niile Mosis bụ odibo m nyere gị nʼiwu. Ewezugala onwe gị na ya gaa aka nri maọbụ aka ekpe, ka ihe si otu a gaara gị nke ọma nʼebe ọbụla ị na-aga.
8 the book of this law doth not depart out of thy mouth, and thou hast meditated in it by day and by night, so that thou dost observe to do according to all that is written in it, for then thou dost cause thy way to prosper, and then thou dost act wisely.
Esitela nʼọnụ gị wezuga ihe dị nʼAkwụkwọ Iwu a. Kama na-atụgharị uche gị na ya ehihie na abalị, ka i si otu a lezie anya imezu ihe niile e dere nʼime ya. Mgbe ahụ ị ga-aba ụba, ihe ga-agakwara gị nke ọma.
9 'Have not I commanded thee? be strong and courageous; be not terrified nor affrighted, for with thee [is] Jehovah thy God in every [place] whither thou goest.'
Ọ bụ na m enyebeghị gị iwu sị gị, Nwee obi ike, dịrịkwa ike! Wezuga ụjọ niile na ịda mba nke obi. Cheta na mụ, bụ Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị, nọnyeere gị ebe ọbụla ị na-aga.”
10 And Joshua commandeth the authorities of the people, saying,
Mgbe ahụ, Joshua nyere ndịisi Izrel niile iwu sị ha,
11 'Pass over into the midst of the camp, and command the people, saying, Prepare for yourselves provision, for within three days ye are passing over this Jordan, to go in to possess the land which Jehovah your God is giving to you to possess it.'
“Jegharịanụ nʼetiti ebe obibi ụmụ Izrel gwa mmadụ niile okwu sị ha ‘Dozierenụ onwe unu ihe unu ga-eri nʼụzọ, nʼihi na nʼime ụbọchị atọ, anyị ga-agafe osimiri Jọdan, imeri na inweta ala ahụ Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke na-enye unu.’”
12 And to the Reubenite, and to the Gadite, and to the half of the tribe of Manasseh, hath Joshua spoken, saying,
Joshua kpọkọtara ndịisi ebo Ruben, na Gad, na ọkara ebo Manase, gwa ha okwu sị,
13 'Remember the word which Moses, servant of Jehovah, commanded you, saying, Jehovah your God is giving rest to you, and He hath given to you this land;
“Chetanụ iwu ahụ Mosis odibo Onyenwe anyị nyere unu, mgbe ọ sịrị, ‘Onyenwe anyị Chineke unu na-enye unu izuike. O nyekwala unu ala a.’
14 your wives, your infants, and your substance, abide in the land which Moses hath given to you beyond the Jordan, and ye — ye pass over by fifties, before your brethren, all the mighty ones of valour, and have helped them,
Kama ndị nwunye unu, na ụmụntakịrị unu, na anụ ụlọ unu, ga-anọ nʼala a dị nʼọwụwa anyanwụ nke Mosis nyere unu. Ma ndị agha unu, ndị jikeere ejike, ga-eduru ndị Izrel ndị ọzọ gafee osimiri Jọdan inyere ụmụnna ha aka,
15 till that Jehovah giveth rest to your brethren as to yourselves, and they have possessed, even they, the land which Jehovah your God is giving to them; then ye have turned back to the land of your possession, and have possessed it, which Moses, servant of Jehovah, hath given to you beyond the Jordan, [at] the sun-rising.'
tutu ruo mgbe Onyenwe anyị Chineke unu nyere ha izuike, dịka o si nye unu, na tutu ruo mgbe ha nwetara ala niile bụ nke Onyenwe anyị Chineke unu ga-enye ha. Mgbe nke a mezuru, unu ga-alaghachi azụ, nweta ala ahụ Mosis onyeozi Onyenwe anyị nyere unu nʼakụkụ ọwụwa anyanwụ osimiri Jọdan.”
16 And they answer Joshua, saying, 'All that thou hast commanded us we do; and unto every [place] whither thou dost send us, we go;
Mgbe ahụ, ha zara Joshua, “Ihe ọbụla nke ị nyere anyị nʼiwu anyị ga-eme ha, ebe ọbụla i zigara anyị ka anyị ga-aga.
17 according to all that we hearkened unto Moses [in], so we hearken unto thee; surely Jehovah thy God is with thee as He hath been with Moses.
Anyị ga-ege gị ntị dịka anyị si gee Mosis ntị. Ka Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị nọnyere gị dịka o si nọnyere Mosis.
18 Any man who doth provoke thy mouth, and doth not hear thy words, in all that thou dost command him, is put to death; only, be strong and courageous.'
Onye ọbụla nupuru isi nʼiwu i nyere anyị, ọ ga-anwụ. Naanị dịrị ike, nweekwa obi ike.”
