¹Now after the death of Moses the servant of the LORD it came to pass, that the LORD spake unto Joshua the son of Nun, Moses' minister, saying,

¹Nak ac xcam laj Moisés, laj cßanjel chiru li Dios, laj Josué li ralal laj Nun quiâtinâc xban li Dios. Laj Josué, aßan li quitenkßan re laj Moisés.

²Moses my servant is dead; now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, thou, and all this people, unto the land which I do give to them, even to the children of Israel.

²Ut li Dios quixye re: —Anakcuan xcam laj Moisés laj cßanjel chicuu. Joßcan nak lâat chic tatcßamok be chiruheb li tenamit aßin. Anakcuan texnumekß jun pacßal li nimaß Jordán âcuochbeneb chixjunileb li tenamit aßin. Texxic saß li naßajej li oc cue chixkßaxtesinquil êre lâex li ralal xcßajol laj Israel.

³Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I given unto you, as I said unto Moses.

³Anakcuan lâin tinqßue êre li naßajej aßin. Chixjunil li naßajej li talajexnumekß cuiß, êrehak chic lâex, joß quinye chak re laj Moisés junxil.

⁴From the wilderness 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 down of the sun, shall be your coast.

⁴Tinqßue êre li naßajej li naticla chak saß li chaki chßochß li cuan saß li sur ut toj cuan cuiß li tzûl Líbano li cuan saß li norte. Ut tinqßue êre lix naßajeb laj heteo. Nacuulac toj cuan cuiß li nimaß Eufrates li cuan saß li este. Ut tâcuulak toj cuan cuiß li nimla palau Mediterráneo li cuan saß li oeste. Êrehak chic chixjunil li naßajej aßan.

⁵There shall not any man be able to 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, nor forsake thee.

⁵Mâ ani târûk tânumtâk saß âbên joß najtil yoßyôkat xban nak lâin cuânkin âcuiqßuin châtenkßanquil joß nak quintenkßa laj Moisés. Incßaß tatincanab âjunes. Cuânkin ban âcuiqßuin junelic.

⁶Be strong and of a good courage: for unto this people shalt thou divide for an inheritance the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give them.

⁶Cacuubresi âchßôl ut chicuânk âmetzßêu xban nak lâat tatjecßok re li naßajej aßin reheb laj Israel. Aßan aßin li naßajej li quinyechißi reheb lâ xeßtônil yucuaß.

⁷Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest.

⁷Caßaj cuiß li tinye âcue nak yal âkße ut cacuubresi âchßôl chixbânunquil chi tzßakal chixjunil li chakßrab li quixqßue âcue laj Moisés laj cßanjel chicuu. Bânu chi tzßakal re ru. Mâcanab xbânunquil re nak us tat-êlk riqßuin chixjunil li cßaßru tâbânu.

⁸This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.

⁸Incßaß tâcanab xyebal li chakßrab li xinqßue êre. Chi kßek chi cutan yôkat chixcßoxlanquil li chakßrab re nak incßaß tâcanab xbânunquil li cßaßru naxye, ut re ajcuiß nak sa tatcuânk ut chixjunil tâêlk chi us châcuu.

⁹Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.

⁹Lâin li yôquin chi taklânc âcue. Yal âkße ut cacuubresi âchßôl. Matxucuac chi moco tâchßinânk âchßôl xban nak lâin li Kâcuaß lâ Dios cuânkin âcuiqßuin yalak bar tatxic, chan li Dios.

¹⁰Then Joshua commanded the officers of the people, saying,

¹⁰Laj Josué quixbokeb li nequeßcßamoc be saß li tenamit, ut quixye reheb:

¹¹Pass through the host, and command the people, saying, Prepare you victuals; for within three days ye shall pass over this Jordan, to go in to possess the land, which the LORD your God giveth you to possess it.

¹¹—Talajexnumekß saß lix muhebâleb li tenamit ut têye reheb nak teßxcauresi ribeb ut teßxyîb xtzacaêmk xban nak saß oxib cutan tonumekß jun pacßal li nimaß Jordán. Toxic ut takêchani li naßajej li tixqßue ke li Kâcuaß li kaDios, chaßakex reheb.

¹²And to the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to half the tribe of Manasseh, spake Joshua, saying,

¹²Ut laj Josué quiâtinac riqßuineb li ralal xcßajol laj Rubén ut laj Gad ut quiâtinac ajcuiß riqßuineb li yijach li ralal xcßajol laj Manasés ut quixye reheb:

¹³Remember the word which Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you, saying, The LORD your God hath given you rest, and hath given you this land.

¹³—Chijulticokß êre li cßaßru quixye chak êre laj Moisés laj cßanjel chiru li Dios nak quixye, “Li Kâcuaß lê Dios tixqßue lê naßaj re texhilânk cuiß”, chan.

¹⁴Your wives, your little ones, and your cattle, shall remain in the land which Moses gave you on this side Jordan; but ye shall pass before your brethren armed, all the mighty men of valor, and help them;

¹⁴Chixjunileb lê rixakil, lê cocßal ut lê quetômk teßcanâk arin saß li naßajej aßin li xqßue êre laj Moisés. Ut lâex cuînk, li joß qßuialex cau êchßôl ut cau êrib chi pletic, texxic jun pacßal li nimaß Jordán chi pletic rochbeneb lê rech aj Israelil ut têtenkßaheb chi pletic.

¹⁵Until the LORD have given your brethren rest, as he hath given you, and they also have possessed the land which the LORD your God giveth them: then ye shall return unto the land of your possession, and enjoy it, which Moses the LORD's servant gave you on this side Jordan toward the sunrising.

¹⁵Têtenkßaheb toj retal teßrêchani li naßajej re teßhilânk cuiß joß yechißinbil reheb xban li Dios. Têtenkßaheb toj teßrêchani lix naßajeb joß nak xerêchani lê re lâex. Ut nak ac xeßrêchani lix naßajeb, lâex texsukßîk cuißchic saß lê naßaj li cuan saß li pacßal aßin saß li este. Aßin li naßajej li quixqßue êre li Dios joß quiyeheß êre xban laj Moisés laj cßanjel chiru li Dios, chan laj Josué.

¹⁶And they answered Joshua, saying, All that thou commandest us we will do, and whithersoever thou sendest us, we will go.

¹⁶Ut eb li ralal xcßajol laj Rubén, laj Gad ut laj Manasés queßchakßoc ut queßxye re laj Josué: —Takabânu chixjunil li cßaßru xaye ke. Lâo toxic bar toâtakla cuiß.

¹⁷According as we hearkened unto Moses in all things, so will we hearken unto thee: only the LORD thy God be with thee, as he was with Moses.

¹⁷Junelic takabânu li cßaßru tâye ke joß nak kabânu li cßaßru coxtakla cuiß laj Moisés. Ut chicuânk taxak li Dios âcuiqßuin joß nak quicuan riqßuin laj Moisés.Chixjunileb li incßaß teßabînk châcuu, ut incßaß teßxbânu li cßaßru tâye, eb aßan teßcamsîk. Li cßaßru nakaj lâo, aßan nak incßaß tâchßinânk âchßôl. Cauhak ban âchßôl chi cßamoc be chiku, chanqueb li tenamit re laj Josué.

¹⁸Whosoever he be that doth rebel against thy commandment, and will not hearken unto thy words in all that thou commandest him, he shall be put to death: only be strong and of a good courage.

¹⁸Chixjunileb li incßaß teßabînk châcuu, ut incßaß teßxbânu li cßaßru tâye, eb aßan teßcamsîk. Li cßaßru nakaj lâo, aßan nak incßaß tâchßinânk âchßôl. Cauhak ban âchßôl chi cßamoc be chiku, chanqueb li tenamit re laj Josué.
