¹Joshua gathered all the tribes of Israel to Shechem, and called for the elders of Israel, for their heads, for their judges, and for their officers; and they presented themselves before God.

¹Markaasaa Yashuuca qabiilooyinkii reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan ku soo ururshay Shekem, oo wuxuu u yeedhay waayeelladii reer binu Israa'iil, iyo madaxdoodii, iyo xaakinnadoodii, iyo saraakiishoodii, oo waxay kulligood ku soo urureen Ilaah hortiisa.

²Joshua said to all the people, “Thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel, ‘Your fathers lived of old time beyond the River, even Terah, the father of Abraham, and the father of Nahor: and they served other gods.

²Oo Yashuuca wuxuu dadkii oo dhan ku yidhi, Rabbiga ah Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil wuxuu leeyahay, Awowayaashiin waxay waa hore degganaan jireen Webigii shishadiisa, oo waxaa ka mid ahaa Terax oo ahaa aabbihii Ibraahim iyo Naaxoor; waxayna u adeegi jireen ilaahyo kale.

³I took your father Abraham from beyond the River, and led him throughout all the land of Canaan, and multiplied his seed, and gave him Isaac.

³Markaasaan awowgiin Ibraahim ka soo kexeeyey Webiga shishadiisa, oo aan dhex mariyey dalka Kancaan oo dhan, oo farcankiisiina waan badiyey, oo waxaan siiyey Isxaaq.

⁴I gave to Isaac Jacob and Esau: and I gave to Esau Mount Seir, to possess it. Jacob and his children went down into Egypt.

⁴Isxaaqna waxaan siiyey Yacquub iyo Ceesaw; Ceesawna waxaan Buur Seciir u siiyey inuu hantiyo, oo Yacquub iyo carruurtiisiina waxay ku dhaadhaceen xagga dalka Masar.

⁵“‘I sent Moses and Aaron, and I plagued Egypt, according to that which I did in its midst: and afterward I brought you out.

⁵Oo markaasaan soo diray Muuse iyo Haaruun, oo Masarna belaayaan ku riday, sidii wixii aan dhexdooda ku sameeyey; oo dabadeedna waan idinka soo saaray.

⁶I brought your fathers out of Egypt: and you came to the sea. The Egyptians pursued after your fathers with chariots and with horsemen to the Red Sea or, Sea of Reeds .

⁶Oo awowayaashiin waxaan ka soo saaray Masar, oo markaasaad timaadeen badda; oo Masriyiintiina awowayaashiin ayay ku sii eryadeen gaadhifardood, iyo fardooley, ilaa ay yimaadeen Badda Cas.

⁷When they cried out to Yahweh, he put darkness between you and the Egyptians, and brought the sea on them, and covered them; and your eyes saw what I did in Egypt: and you lived in the wilderness many days.

⁷Oo markay Rabbiga u qayshadeen ayuu gudcur kala dhex dhigay idinka iyo Masriyiintii, oo badduu ku soo daayay oo ku daboolay; oo indhihiinnaad ku aragteen wixii aan ku sameeyey Masar; oo idinna maalmo badan ayaad cidlada degganaydeen.

⁸“‘I brought you into the land of the Amorites, that lived beyond the Jordan: and they fought with you; and I gave them into your hand. You possessed their land; and I destroyed them from before you.

⁸Oo markaasaan idin keenay dalkii reer Amor, kuwaasoo degganaa Webi Urdun shishadiisa, oo iyana way idinla dirireen; kolkaasaan gacanta idiin geliyey, oo dalkoodiina waad hantideen, iyagiina hortiinna waan ka baabbi'iyey.

⁹Then Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, arose and fought against Israel. He sent and called Balaam the son of Beor to curse you;

⁹Dabadeedna waxaa kacay boqorkii Moo'aab oo ahaa Baalaaq ina Sifoor, oo wuxuu la diriray reer binu Israa'iil, markaasuu u yeedhay oo idiinku soo diray inuu idin habaaro Balcaam ina Becoor.

¹⁰but I would not listen to Balaam; therefore he blessed you still. So I delivered you out of his hand.

¹⁰Laakiinse anigu Balcaam ma aanan dhegaysan; sidaas daraaddeed weliba wuu idiin sii duceeyey; oo sidaasaan gacantiisii idiinka samatabbixiyey.

¹¹“‘You went over the Jordan, and came to Jericho. The men of Jericho fought against you, the Amorite, the Perizzite, the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Girgashite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite; and I delivered them into your hand.

¹¹Oo idinku waxaad ka soo gudubteen Webi Urdun oo aad timaadeen Yerixoo, oo dadkii reer Yerixoo way idinla dagaallameen, kuwaasu waxay ahaayeen reer Amor, iyo reer Feris, iyo reer Kancaan, iyo reer Xeed, iyo reer Girgaash, iyo reer Xiwi, iyo reer Yebuus, oo anna dhammaantood gacantaan idiin geliyey.

¹²I sent the hornet before you, which drove them out from before you, even the two kings of the Amorites; not with your sword, nor with your bow.

¹²Oo waxaan idinka hor mariyey xoonkii hortiinna ka eryay iyagii oo ahaa xataa labadii boqor oo reer Amor, oo kuwaas kuma aadan eryin seeftaada iyo qaansadaada toona.

¹³I gave you a land whereon you had not labored, and cities which you didn’t build, and you live in them. You eat of vineyards and olive groves which you didn’t plant.’

¹³Oo waxaan idin siiyey dal aydnaan u hawshoon, iyo magaalooyin aydnaan dhisan, oo waad iska dhex degtaan, oo waxaad ka cuntaan canab iyo saytuun aydnaan beeran.

¹⁴“Now therefore fear Yahweh, and serve him in sincerity and in truth. Put away the gods which your fathers served beyond the River, in Egypt; and serve Yahweh.

¹⁴Haddaba Rabbiga ka cabsada, oo daacad iyo run ugu adeega; oo iska fogeeya ilaahyadii awowayaashiin ugu adeegi jireen Webiga shishadiisa, iyo dalka Masar dhexdiisa, oo idinku waxaad u adeegtaan Rabbiga.

¹⁵If it seems evil to you to serve Yahweh, choose this day whom you will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve Yahweh.”

¹⁵Oo hadday shar idinla tahay inaad Rabbiga u adeegtaan, haddaba maanta doorta kii aad u adeegi doontaan, ama ha noqoto ilaahyadii awowayaashiin ugu adeegi jireen Webiga shishadiisa, ama ilaahyada reer Amor, kuwaas oo aad dalkoodii deggan tihiin; laakiinse aniga iyo reerkayguba waxaannu u adeegi doonaa Rabbiga.

¹⁶The people answered, “Far be it from us that we should forsake Yahweh, to serve other gods;

¹⁶Kolkaasaa dadkii waxay ugu jawaabeen, Ilaah ha naga fogeeyo inaannu Rabbiga ka tagno oo aannu u adeegno ilaahyo kale;

¹⁷for it is Yahweh our God who brought us and our fathers up out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage, and who did those great signs in our sight, and preserved us in all the way in which we went, and among all the peoples through the midst of whom we passed.

¹⁷waayo, Rabbiga Ilaaheenna ahu waa kii innaga iyo awowayaasheenba inaga soo saaray dalkii Masar oo ahaa gurigii addoonsiga, oo isagu waa kii calaamooyinkaas waaweyn ku sameeyey horteenna oo inagu dhawrayay jidkii aan soo marnay oo dhan, oo inaga samatabbixiyey dadkii aynu soo dhex soconnay oo dhan.

¹⁸Yahweh drove out from before us all the peoples, even the Amorites who lived in the land. Therefore we also will serve Yahweh; for he is our God.”

¹⁸Oo Rabbigu wuxuu horteenna ka eryay dadkii oo dhan, iyo xataa reer Amor oo dalka degganaa; oo sidaas daraaddeed annaguna waxaannu u adeegi doonnaa Rabbiga, maxaa yeelay, isagu waa Ilaahayo.

¹⁹Joshua said to the people, “You can’t serve Yahweh; for he is a holy God. He is a jealous God. He will not forgive your disobedience nor your sins.

¹⁹Markaasaa Yashuuca wuxuu dadkii ku yidhi, Rabbiga uma aad adeegi kartaan; waayo, isagu waa Ilaah quduus ah; oo waa Ilaah masayr ah, oo isagu idinkama cafiyi doono xadgudubkiinna iyo dembiyadiinna toona.

²⁰If you forsake Yahweh, and serve foreign gods, then he will turn and do you evil, and consume you, after he has done you good.”

²⁰Oo markuu wax wanaagsan idiin sameeyo dabadeed, haddaad Rabbiga ka tagtaan, oo aad u adeegtaan ilaahyo qalaad, de markaas wuu soo jeesan doonaa oo wax xun buu idinku samayn doonaa, oo wuu idin baabbi'in doonaa.

²¹The people said to Joshua, “No; but we will serve Yahweh.”

²¹Markaasaa dadkii waxay Yashuuca ku yidhaahdeen, Maya; laakiinse annagu Rabbiga waannu u adeegi doonnaa.

²²Joshua said to the people, “You are witnesses against yourselves that you have chosen Yahweh yourselves, to serve him.” They said, “We are witnesses.”

²²Yashuucana wuxuu dadkii ku yidhi, Idinka qudhiinnaa isku marag furaya inaad doorateen Rabbiga oo aad isaga u adeegaysaan. Kolkaasay yidhaahdeen, Annagaa ka marag ah.

²³“Now therefore put away the foreign gods which are among you, and incline your heart to Yahweh, the God of Israel.”

²³Kolkaasuu yidhi, Haddaba iska fogeeya ilaahyada qalaad oo idinku dhex jira, oo qalbigiinna u jeediya Rabbiga ah Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil.

²⁴The people said to Joshua, “We will serve Yahweh our God, and we will listen to his voice.”

²⁴Markaasaa dadkii waxay Yashuuca ku yidhaahdeen, Annagu waxaannu u adeegi doonnaa Rabbiga Ilaahayaga ah, oo weliba codkiisaannu maqli doonnaa.

²⁵So Joshua made a covenant with the people that day, and made for them a statute and an ordinance in Shechem.

²⁵Taas daraaddeed maalintaas ayaa Yashuuca dadkii axdi la dhigtay, oo Shekem buu ugu dejiyey qaynuun iyo amar.

²⁶Joshua wrote these words in the book of the law of God; and he took a great stone, and set it up there under the oak that was by the sanctuary of Yahweh.

²⁶Markaasaa Yashuuca erayadan ku qoray kitaabkii sharcigii Ilaah; oo dhagax weyn buu qaaday, oo wuxuu hoos qotonshay geedkii ku ag yiil taambuugga quduuskaa oo Rabbiga.

²⁷Joshua said to all the people, “Behold, this stone shall be a witness against us; for it has heard all the words of Yahweh which he spoke to us. It shall be therefore a witness against you, lest you deny your God.”

²⁷Yashuucana wuxuu dadkii oo dhan ku yidhi, Bal ogaada, dhagaxanaa inagu marag furi doonee; waayo, wuxuu maqlay erayadii Rabbiga oo uu inagula hadlay oo dhan; sidaas daraaddeed wuxuu idinku noqon doonaa marag, si aydnaan Ilaahiinna u inkirin.

²⁸So Joshua sent the people away, every man to his inheritance.

²⁸Markaasaa Yashuuca dadkii kala diray oo nin waluba wuxuu tegey dalkii dhaxalkiisa ahaa.

²⁹It happened after these things, that Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of Yahweh, died, being one hundred and ten years old.

²⁹Oo taas dabadeed addoonkii Rabbiga oo ahaa Yashuuca ina Nuun ayaa dhintay, isagoo jira boqol iyo toban sannadood.

³⁰They buried him in the border of his inheritance in Timnathserah, which is in the hill country of Ephraim, on the north of the mountain of Gaash.

³⁰Oo waxay ku aaseen dalkii uu dhaxalka u helay oo ahaa Timnad Serah oo ku tiil dalkii buuraha lahaa oo reer Efrayim, oo xagga woqooyi ka xigta buurta Gacash.

³¹Israel served Yahweh all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders who outlived Joshua, and had known all the work of Yahweh, that he had worked for Israel.

³¹Reer binu Israa'iilna Rabbigay u adeegi jireen waagii Yashuuca oo dhan, iyo waagii odayaashii ka nolol dambeeyey Yashuuca oo dhan, kuwaas oo ogaa kulli shuqulkii Rabbigu u sameeyey reer binu Israa'iil.

³²They buried the bones of Joseph, which the children of Israel brought up out of Egypt, in Shechem, in the parcel of ground which Jacob bought of the sons of Hamor the father of Shechem for a hundred pieces of money. They became the inheritance of the children of Joseph.

³²Oo lafihii Yuusuf oo reer binu Israa'iil ka soo saareen Masar, waxay ku aaseen Shekem taasoo ah dhulkii yaraa oo Yacquub ka iibsaday reer Xamoor oo ahaa Shekem aabbihiis oo uu ka siistay boqol gogo' oo lacag ah; oo meeshaasu waxay dhaxal u noqotay reer Yuusuf.Oo Elecaasaar ina Haaruunna wuu dhintay, oo waxay isna ku aaseen buurtii wiilkiisa Fiinexaas oo isaga laga siiyey dalkii buuraha lahaa oo reer Efrayim.

³³Eleazar the son of Aaron died. They buried him in the hill of Phinehas his son, which was given him in the hill country of Ephraim.

³³Oo Elecaasaar ina Haaruunna wuu dhintay, oo waxay isna ku aaseen buurtii wiilkiisa Fiinexaas oo isaga laga siiyey dalkii buuraha lahaa oo reer Efrayim.
