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 it came to pass after the death of Moses the servant of the Lord, that the Lord spoke to Josue the son of Nun, the minister of Moses, and said to him:
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: arise, and pass over this Jordan, thou and thy people with thee, into the land which I will give 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 will deliver to you every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, as I have said to 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 desert and from Libanus unto the great river Euphrates, all the land of the Hethites unto the great sea toward 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 shall be able to resist you all the days of thy life: as I have been with Moses, so will I be with thee: I will not leave thee, nor forsake thee.
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.
Take courage, and be strong: for thou shalt divide by lot to this people the land, for which I swore to their fathers, that I would deliver it to 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.
Take courage therefore, and be very valiant: that thou mayst observe and do all the law, which Moses my servant hath commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayst understand all things which thou dost.
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.
Let not the book of this law depart from thy mouth: but thou shalt meditate on it day and night, that thou mayst observe and do all things that are written in it: then shalt thou direct thy way, and understand it.
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.”
Behold I command thee, take courage, and be strong. Fear not and be not dismayed: because the Lord thy God is with thee in all things whatsoever thou shalt go to.
10 Ouinge Joshua el sapkin nu sin mwet kol
And Josue commanded the princes of the people, saying: Pass through the midst of the camp, and command the people, and say:
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.”
Prepare you victuals: for after the third day you shall pass over the Jordan and shall go in to possess the land, which the Lord your God will give you.
12 Na Joshua el fahk nu sin mwet in sruf lal Reuben, sruf lal Gad, ac tafu sruf lal Manasseh,
And he said to the Rubenites, and the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasses:
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 hath given you rest, and all 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, and children, and cattle shall remain in the land which Moses gave you on this side of the Jordan: but pass you over armed before your brethren, all of you that are strong of hand, and fight for 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 give rest to your brethren as he hath given you, and they also possess the land which the Lord your God will give them: and so you shall return into the land of your possession, and you shall dwell in it, which Moses the servant of the Lord gave you beyond the Jordan, toward the rising of the sun.
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.
And they made answer to Josue, and said: All that thou hast commanded us we will do; and whithersoever thou shalt 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!
As we obeyed Moses in all things, so will we obey thee also: only be the Lord thy God with thee, 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!”
He that shall gainsay thy mouth, and not obey all thy words, that thou shalt command him, let him die: only take thou courage, and do manfully.
