1And Josue gathered together all the tribes of Israel in Sichem, and called for the ancients, and the princes, and the judges, and the masters: and they stood in the sight of the Lord:
1Na Joshua el sapkin sruf nukewa lun Israel in tukeni nu Shechem. El pangoneni mwet matu, mwet kol, mwet nununku, ac mwet leum lun Israel, ac elos tukeni ye mutun God.
2And he spoke thus to the people: Thus saith the Lord the God of Israel: Your fathers dwelt of old on the other side of the river, Thare the father of Abraham, and Nachor: and they served strange gods.
2Joshua el fahk nu sin mwet uh, “Pa inge kas ma LEUM GOD lun Israel El fahk, ‘In pacl meet ah, papa matu tomowos muta kutulap in Infacl Euphrates ac alu nu sin god saya. Sie selos pa Terah, papa tumal Abraham ac Nahor.
3And I took your father Abraham from the borders of Mesopotamia: and brought him into the land of Chanaan: and I multiplied his seed,
3Na nga tuh usalu Abraham, papa matu tomowos, liki acn we, ac kolol sasla in acn Canaan nufon. Ac nga sang fwilin tulik puspis natul. Nga eisalang Isaac nu sel,
4And gave him Isaac: and to him again I gave Jacob and Esau. And I gave to Esau mount Seir for his possession: but Jacob and his children went down into Egypt.
4ac nu sel Isaac nga eisalang Jacob ac Esau. Nga sang acn fineol uh in acn Edom nu sel Esau tuh in ma lal. A funu Jacob, papa matu tomowos, el ac tulik natul tuh som nu Egypt.
5And I sent Moses and Aaron, and I struck Egypt with many signs and wonders.
5Tok nga supwalla Moses ac Aaron, ac nga aklokoalokye mwet Egypt, tusruktu nga uskowosme liki acn we.
6And I brought you and your fathers out of Egypt, and you came to the sea: and the Egyptians pursued your fathers with chariots and horsemen, as far as the Red Sea.
6Ke nga use mwet matu lowos liki acn Egypt, mwet Egypt elos ukwalos ke chariot ac ke mwet kasrusr fin horse. Ke mwet matu lowos elos sun Meoa Srusra,
7And the children of Israel cried to the Lord: and he put darkness between you and the Egyptians, and brought the sea upon them, and covered them. Your eyes saw all that I did in Egypt, and you dwelt in the wilderness a long time:
7elos wowoyak nu sik ac siyuk kasru, na nga orala sie ohk inmasrlolos ac mwet Egypt. Ac nga oru tuh kof uh in sifil folokeni nu faclos mwet Egypt, ac akwalomyalosla. Kowos etu ma nga tuh oru in acn Egypt. “‘Na kowos tuh muta in acn mwesis ke pacl na loeloes se.
8And I brought you into the land of the Amorrhite, who dwelt beyond the Jordan. And when they fought against you, I delivered them into your hands, and you possessed their land, and slew them.
8Nga uskowosme nu in acn lun mwet Amor su muta kutulap in Infacl Jordan. Elos tuh mweun lain kowos, tuh nga usot kutangla nu suwos. Kowos eisla acn selos, ac nga kunauselosla ye motowos.
9And Balac son of Sephor king of Moab arose and fought against Israel. And he sent and called for Balaam son of Beor, to curse you:
9Na Balak wen natul Zippor, tokosra lun acn Moab, el tuyak lain kowos, ac el sapla nu sel Balaam, wen natul Beor, elan tuh selngawi kowos.
10And I would not hear him, but on the contrary I blessed you by him, and I delivered you out of his hand.
10Tuh nga tia lohngol Balaam, ouinge el akinsewowoye kowos. Pa inge luman molela luk nu suwos liki inpaol Balak.
11And you passed over the Jordan, and you came to Jericho. And the men of that city fought against you, the Amorrhite, and the Pherezite, and the Chanaanite, and the Hethite, and the Gergesite, and the Hevite, and the Jebusite: and I delivered them into your hands.
11Na kowos fahsr sasla Infacl Jordan ac tuku nu Jericho. Mwet kol in acn Jericho elos tuh mweun lain kowos oana ke mwet Amor, mwet Periz, mwet Canaan, mwet Hit, mwet Girgash, mwet Hiv, ac mwet Jebus tuh lain kowos, tuh nga sifil pacna oru tuh kowos in kutangulosla nufon.
12And I sent before you hornets: and I drove them out from their places, the two kings of the Amorrhites, not with thy sword nor with thy bow.
12Ke kowos utyak nu in acn we, nga akfohsyalosyak in tuh ukwauk tokosra luo lun mwet Amor. Kutangla lowos tia ma ke cutlass ac mwe pisr nutuwos.
13And I gave you a land, in which you had not laboured, and cities to dwell in which you built not, vineyards and oliveyards, which you planted not.
13Ouinge nga sot nu suwos sie acn su kowos tia taknelik fac, ac siti ma kowos tia musaela. Inge kowos muta we ac mongo ke fokin grape ac olive, su ma kowos tia yukwiya.’”
14Now therefore fear the Lord, and serve him with a perfect and most sincere heart: and put away the gods which your fathers served in Mesopotamia and in Egypt, and serve the Lord.
14Na Joshua el sifil fahk nu selos, “Kowos in akfulatye LEUM GOD , ac kulansap nu sel ke oaru ac inse pwaye. Sisla kutena god su ma mwet matu lowos elos tuh alu nu se in acn Mesopotamia ac Egypt, ac kulansupu LEUM GOD mukena.
15But if it seem evil to you to serve the Lord, you have your choice: choose this day that which pleaseth you, whom you would rather serve, whether the gods which your fathers served in Mesopotamia, or the gods of the Amorrhites, in whose land you dwell: but as for me and my house we will serve the Lord.
15Kowos fin tia lungse kulansupu LEUM GOD , kowos sulela misenge lah su kowos ac kulansupu, lah ac god su mwet matu lowos elos tuh alu nu se in acn Mesopotamia, ku god lun mwet Amor su kowos muta in acn selos misenge. Funu nga ac mwet in lohm sik, kut ac fah kulansupu LEUM GOD .”
16And the people answered, and said: God forbid we should leave the Lord, and serve strange gods.
16Na mwet ah topuk ac fahk, “Kut ac fah tiana ku in sisla LEUM GOD ac kulansupu kutena god saya!
17The Lord our God he brought us and our fathers out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage: and did very great signs in our sight, and preserved us in all the way by which we journeyed, and among all the people through whom we passed.
17LEUM GOD lasr pa uskutme, oayapa mwet matu lasr, liki acn Egypt, acn su kut tuh moul in kohs we. Kut liye pac mwenmen puspis El orala. El karingin kut ke fufahsryesr lasr inmasrlon facl puspis.
18And he hath cast out all the nations, the Amorrhite the inhabitant of the land into which we are come. Therefore we will serve the Lord, for he is our God.
18Ke kut utyak nu in acn ingan, LEUM GOD El lusla mwet Amor su muta we. Ke ma inge, kut ac fah wi pac kulansupu LEUM GOD , tuh El God lasr.”
19And Josue said to the people: You will not be able to serve the Lord: for he is a holy God, and mighty and jealous, and will not forgive your wickedness and sins.
19Ac Joshua el fahk nu sin mwet uh, “Sahp kowos ac tia ku in kulansupu LEUM GOD . El sie God mutal, ac El sie God loloik. El ac tia nunak munas ke seakos lowos ac ma koluk lowos.
20If you leave the Lord, and serve strange gods, he will turn, and will afflict you, and will destroy you after all the good he hath done you.
20Kowos fin forla lukel ac kulansap nu sin god saya, El ac fah forla liki kowos ac akkeokye kowos ac kunauskowosla, finne El tuh arulana wo nu suwos meet.”
21And the people said to Josue: No, it shall not be so as thou sayest, but we will serve the Lord.
21Na mwet uh fahk nu sel Joshua, “Mo! Kut ac kulansap na nu sin LEUM GOD .”
22And Josue said to the people: You are witnesses, that you yourselves have chosen you the Lord to serve him. And they answered: We are witnesses.
22Na Joshua el fahk, “Kowos mwet loh lowos sifacna ke kowos fahk mu kowos sulela tuh kowos in kulansupu LEUM GOD .” Ac elos fahk, “Aok, kut ac mwet loh lasr sifacna.”
23Now therefore, said he, put away strange gods from among you, and incline your hearts to the Lord the God of Israel.
23Na Joshua el fahk nu selos, “Fin pwaye, kowos sisla liki kowos god saya nukewa ma oan yuruwos an, ac sang insiowos in pwayena nu sin LEUM GOD lun Israel.”
24And the people said to Josue: We will serve the Lord our God, and we will be obedient to his commandments.
24Na mwet ah fahk nu sel Joshua, “Kut ac fah kulansap nu sin LEUM GOD lasr, ac akos ma sap lal.”
25Josue therefore on that day made a covenant, and set before the people commandments and judgments in Sichem.
25Ke len sac Joshua el orala sie wulela nu sin mwet uh in acn Shechem, ac el sang nu selos ma sap ac ma oakwuk elos in fahsr kac.
26And he wrote all these things in the volume of the law of the Lord: and he took a great stone, and set it under the oak that was in the sanctuary of the Lord.
26Ac Joshua el simusla ma inge in book in Ma Sap Lun God. Na el eis sie eot lulap ac tulokunak ye sak oak soko sisken Lohm Nuknuk sin LEUM GOD .
27And he said to all the people: Behold this stone shall be a testimony unto you, that it hath heard all the words of the Lord, which he hath spoken to you: lest perhaps hereafter you will deny it, and lie to the Lord your God.
27Ac Joshua el fahk nu sin mwet uh, “Liye, eot se inge ac fah mwe loh lasr. El lohng kas nukewa ma LEUM GOD El fahk nu sesr. El ac fah mwe loh lain kowos tuh kowos in tia lain God lowos.”
28And he sent the people away every one to their own possession.
28Na Joshua el supwalik mwet uh, ac elos nukewa folokla, kais sie nu in acn sel sifacna.
29And after these things Josue the son of Null the servant of the Lord died, being a hundred and ten years old:
29Tukun ma inge, mwet kulansap lun LEUM GOD , Joshua wen natul Nun, el misa ke el yac siofok singoul matwal.
30And they buried him in the border of his possession in Thamnathsare, which is situate in mount Ephraim, on the north side of mount Gaas.
30Na elos piknilya in acn sel in Timnath Serah su oan fineol uh in acn Ephraim, su oasr epang in Fineol Gaash.
31And Israel served the Lord all the days of Josue, and of the ancients that lived a long time after Josue, and that had known all the works of the Lord which he had done in Israel.
31Mwet Israel elos kulansupu LEUM GOD ke lusen moul lal Joshua nufon, ac tukun el misa ah, elos tafwelana ke lusen moul lun mwet kol lalos su liye ma nukewa ma LEUM GOD El oru nu sin Israel.
32And the bones of Joseph which the children of Israel had taken out of Egypt, they buried in Sichem, in that part of the field which Jacob had bought of the sons of Hemor the father of Sichem, for a hundred young ewes, and it was in the possession of the sons of Joseph.
32Ac srel Joseph, su mwet ah use liki acn Egypt, elos pikinya Shechem ke ipin acn se ma Jacob el tuh molela ke ipin silver siofok sin tulik natul Hamor, su papa tumal Shechem. Tok ipin acn se inge tuh itukyang tuh in mwe usru lun tulik natul Joseph.
33Eleazar also the son of Aaron died: and they buried him in Gabaath that belongeth to Phinees his son, which was given him in mount Ephraim.
33Ac Eleazar, wen natul Aaron, el misa ac pukpuki in acn Gibeah ke ipin acn se fineol in acn Ephraim, ma tuh itukyang lal Phinehas, wen natul.
