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,
1 A ciya Rabbi tamo Musa buuyaŋo banda, waato gaa Rabbi salaŋ Yasuwa Nun izo se, kaŋ ga ti Musa zanka. A ne:
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.
2 «Ay tamo Musa bu. Sohõ binde, ni ma tun ka Urdun wo daŋandi, nin da jama wo kulu, ka koy laabo kaŋ ay g'i no din ra, ngey Israyla* izey.
3Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I given unto you, as I said unto Moses.
3 Nangu kulu kaŋ araŋ ce taamey ga taamu, ay n'a no araŋ se, danga mate kaŋ cine ay ci Musa se.
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.
4 Za taasi beero gaa ka koy Liban wo gaa, kala ma koy Ufratis isa beero gaa, Hittancey laabo kulu, kal a ma koy teeku beero gaa wayna kaŋay haray, ngey no ga ti araŋ hirrey me.
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.
5 Boro si no kaŋ ga hin ka kay ni jine ni fundo me muudu. Danga mate kaŋ cine ay go Musa banda, yaadin cine no ay ga goro ni mo banda, Ay si ni naŋ, ay si ni furu mo.
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.
6 Ma gaabandi, ma te bine-gaabi hanno, zama laabo kaŋ ay no i kaayey se ka ne: ‹Ay g'i no nd'a›, ni g'a no tubu jama wo se.
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.
7 Day, ni ma gaabandi, ma te bine-gaabi hanno. Ma haggoy ka goy ka te asariya kulu boŋ kaŋ ay tamo Musa na ni lordi nd'a. Ma si kamba a gaa ka koy kambe ŋwaari wala kambe wow haray, zama ni ma te saaya naŋ kulu kaŋ ni ga koy.
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.
8 Asariya tira wo mo ma si fay da ni meyo, amma ni ma soobay k'a fintal cin da zaari, zama ni ma du ka haggoy d'a k'a goy mo, mate kaŋ i hantum a ra din boŋ. Zama yaadin gaa no ni ga naŋ ni fonda ma te albarka, yaadin gaa mo no ni ga te zaama.
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.
9 Manti ay jin ka ni lordi? Ma gaabandi, ma te bine-gaabi mo. Ma si humburu, ma si joote mo, zama Rabbi ni Irikoyo go ni banda nangu kulu kaŋ ni ga koy.»
10Then Joshua commanded the officers of the people, saying,
10 Waato din gaa no Yasuwa na jama wongu nyaŋey lordi ka ne:
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 «Wa gana gata bindo ra ka borey lordi ka ne: Wa hindoonayyaŋ soola, zama ne ka koy jirbi hinza araŋ ga Urdun wo daŋandi, zama araŋ ma furo ka laabo ŋwa, kaŋ Rabbi araŋ Irikoyo g'araŋ no araŋ ma ŋwa.»
12And to the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to half the tribe of Manasseh, spake Joshua, saying,
12 Yasuwa binde salaŋ da Ruben izey, da Gad izey, da Manasse kunda jara mo ka ne:
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 «Wa fongu nda sanno kaŋ Rabbi tamo Musa n'araŋ lordi d'a, ka ne: ‹Rabbi araŋ Irikoyo g'araŋ no fulanzamay, a g'araŋ no mo laabo wo.
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;
14 Araŋ wandey d'araŋ ize kayney d'araŋ almaney ga goro laabo kaŋ Musa na araŋ no Urdun wo daranta din ra. Amma araŋ wo kaŋ ga ti soojey gaabikooney kulu da wongu jinayey, araŋ ga daŋandi araŋ nya-izey jine. Araŋ g'i gaa mo.›
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.
15 Araŋ g'i gaa hala waati kaŋ Rabbi n'araŋ nya-izey mo no fulanzamay, danga mate kaŋ cine a n'araŋ no, ngey mo ma laabo kaŋ Rabbi araŋ Irikoyo n'i no din ŋwa. Waato din gaa no araŋ ga ye ka kaa araŋ mayray nango do, k'a may. Laabu nooya kaŋ Rabbi tamo Musa n'araŋ no Urdun wo daŋanta, wayna funay haray.»
16And they answered Joshua, saying, All that thou commandest us we will do, and whithersoever thou sendest us, we will go.
16 I tu Yasuwa se ka ne: «Hay kulu kaŋ ni n'iri lordi nd'a, iri g'a te. Naŋ kaŋ ni n'iri donton kulu mo, iri ga koy.
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.
17 Danga mate kaŋ cine iri hangan Musa se hay kulu ra, yaadin no iri ga hangan ni mo se. Kala day Rabbi ni Irikoyo ma goro ni banda, danga mate kaŋ cine a go Musa banda.
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.
18 Boro kulu kaŋ no, d'a murte ni lordo gaa, a mana hangan ni sanney se mo, hay kulu kaŋ ra ni n'a lordi, i g'a wi. Kala day ma gaabandi, ma te bine-gaabi mo.»
