1 Yahawashawai (Joshua) asap (gathered) all the shabatay (tribes) of Yashar-Al (Israel) to Shakam (Shechem), and qaraa (called) for the zaqanay (elders) of Yashar-Al (Israel), for their raash (head), for their shapat (judge / judgement), and for their shatar (officers); and they yatzab (presented) panay (themselves) before Alahayam ().
2 Yahawashawai (Joshua) amar (spoke) to all the im (nation / people), “Thus amar (spoke) Yahawah (), the Alahayam () of Yashar-Al (Israel), ‘Your ab (father) lived of iwalam (forever) time ibar (beyond) the nahar (river), even Tharach (Terah), the ab (father) of Abaraham (Abraham), and the ab (father) of Nachawar (Nahor): and they ibad (servant) other Alahayam ().
3 I laqach (take / seize) your ab (father) Abaraham (Abraham - Patriarch) from ibar (beyond) the nahar (river), and yalak (led) him throughout all the aratz (Earth/land) of Kanain (Canaan), and rabah (multiplied) his zarai (seed), and nathan (give) him Yatzachaq (Isaac).
4 I nathan (give) to Yatzachaq (Isaac) Yaiqab (Jacob - Patriarch) and Ishaw (Esau): and I nathan (give) to Ishaw (Esau) har (mountain) Shaiyar (Seir), to yarash (possess) it. Yaiqab (Jacob - Patriarch) and his ban (son) yarad (went) down into Matzarayam (Matzarayam / Egypt).
5 “‘I shalach (send) Mashah (Moses) and Aharawan (Aaron), and I nagap (plagued) Matzarayam (Matzarayam / Egypt), according to that which I ishah (make) in its qarab (among / near): and afterward I yatzaa (go out / come out) you out.
6 I yatzaa (go out / come out) your ab (father) out of Matzarayam (Matzarayam / Egypt): and you bawaa (bring) to the yam (sea/waters). The Matzarayam (Matzarayam / Egypt) radap (pursued) achar (other) your ab (father) with rakab (chariots) and with horsemen to the sawap (red) yam (sea/waters).
7 When they tzaiq (cried) out to Yahawah (), he shawam (place / establish / appoint) maapal (darkness) between you and the Matzaray (Egyptians), and bawaa (come) the yam (sea/waters) on them, and kasah (covered) them; and your iyan (eye) raah (see) what I ishah (make) in Matzarayam (Egypt): and you lived in the madabar (wilderness) many yamayam (days).
8 “‘I bawaa (bring) you into the aratz (Earth/land) of the Amaray (Amaray / Amorite), that lived ibar (beyond) the Yaradan (Jordan): and they lacham (fought) with you; and I nathan (give) them into your yad (hand). You yarash (possessed) their aratz (Earth/land); and I destroyed them from panayam (face) you.
9 Then Balaq (Balak) the ban (son) of Tzapawar (Zippor), malak (king) of Mawaab (Moab), qawam (rise up) and lacham (fought) against Yashar-Al (Israel). He shalach (send) and qaraa (called) Balaim (Balaam) the ban (son) of Baiwar (Beor) to qalal (curse) you;
10 But I would not shamai (hearken / hear) to Balaim (Balaam); therefore he barak (blessed) you still. So I natzal (delivered) you out of his yad (hand).
11 “‘You ibar (pass over/through) over the Yaradan (Jordan), and bawaa (bring) to Yarayachaw (Jericho). The bailay (men) of Yarayachaw (Jericho) lacham (fought) against you, the Amaray (Amaray / Amorite), the Parazay (Perizzite), the Kanainay (Canaanite), the Chathay (Hittite), the Garagashay (Girgashite), the Chaway (Hivite), and the Yabawasay (Jebusite); and I nathan (give) them into your yad (hand).
12 I shalach (send) the tzaraih (hornet) panayam (face) you, which garash (drove) them out from panayam (face) you, even the shanayam (two) malakay (kings) of the Amaray (Amaray / Amorite); not with your charab (sword), nor with your qashath (bow).
13 I nathan (give) you a aratz (Earth/land) whereon you had not labored, and irayam (cities) which you didn't banah (build), and you live in them. You akal (eat) of karamayam (vineyards) and zayath (olive) groves which you didn't natai (plant).’
14 “Now therefore yaraa (fear / be afraid) Yahawah (), and ibad (servant) him in thamayam (complete / whole) and in amath (truth). Sawar (put) away the Alahayam () which your ab (father) ibad (servant) ibar (beyond) the nahar (river), in Matzarayam (Egypt); and ibad (servant) Yahawah ().
15 If it seems rai (evil) to you to ibad (servant) Yahawah (), bachar (choose) this yawam (day) whom you will ibad (servant); whether the Alahayam () which your ab (father) ibad (servant) that were ibar (beyond) the nahar (river), or the Alahayam () of the Amaray (Amorites), in whose aratz (Earth/land) you yashab (inhabit/dwell): but as for me and my bayath (house), we will ibad (servant) Yahawah ().”
16 The im (nation / people) inah (answer / respond), “chalayalah (far) be it from us that we should izab (forsake) Yahawah (), to ibad (servant) other Alahayam ();
17 For it is Yahawah () our Alahayam () who brought us and our ab (father) up out of the aratz (Earth/land) of Matzarayam (Egypt), from the bayath (house) of ibad (servant), and who ishah (make) those gadawal (very great/important/mighty) athawath (signs) in our iyan (eye), and shamar (keep/guard) us in all the darak (way) in which we halak (move), and among all the imayam (peoples) qarab (among / near) the midst of whom we ibar (pass over/through).
18 Yahawah () garash (drove) out from panayam (face) us all the imayam (peoples), even the Amaray (Amorites) who lived in the aratz (Earth/land). Therefore we also will ibad (servant) Yahawah (); for he is our Alahayam ().”
19 Yahawashawai (Joshua) amar (spoke) to the im (nation / people), “You can't ibad (servant) Yahawah (); for he is a qadawash (holy) Alahayam (). He is a qanawaa (jealous) Alahayam (). He will not nashaa (lift) your disobedience nor your chataah (sin).
20 If you izab (forsake) Yahawah (), and ibad (servant) foreign Alahayam (), then he will shawab (turn back / repent) and do you raii (wicked / dysfunctional / evil), and kalah (complete / finish) you, achar (other) he has done you yatab (good).”
21 The im (nation / people) amar (spoke) to Yahawashawai (Joshua), “No; but we will ibad (servant) Yahawah ().”
22 Yahawashawai (Joshua) amar (spoke) to the im (nation / people), “You are witnesses against yourselves that you have bachar (chosen) Yahawah () yourselves, to ibad (servant) him.” They amar (spoke), “We are witnesses.”
23 “Now therefore sawar (put) away the foreign Alahayam () which are qarab (among / near) you, and natah (incline) your labab (heart) to Yahawah (), the Alahayam () of Yashar-Al (Israel).”
24 The im (nation / people) amar (spoke) to Yahawashawai (Joshua), “We will ibad (servant) Yahawah () our Alahayam (), and we will shamai (hearken / hear) to his qawal (sound / voice).”
25 So Yahawashawai (Joshua) karath (cut) a barayath (covenant) with the im (nation / people) that yawam (day), and shawam (place / establish / appoint) for them a chaq (statute) and an mashapat (ordinance) in Shakam (Shechem).
26 Yahawashawai (Joshua) kathab (write) these dabarayam (words) in the sapar (book / scribed document) of the thawarah (instruction) of Alahayam (); and he laqach (take / seize) a gadawal (very great/important/mighty) aban (stone), and qawam (rise up) it up there under the alah (oak / terebinth) that was by the maqadash (sanctuary) of Yahawah ().
27 Yahawashawai (Joshua) amar (spoke) to all the im (nation / people), “Behold, this aban (stone) shall be a idah (witness) against us; for it has shamai (hearken / hear) all the amaray (words) of Yahawah () which he dabar (word / matter) to us. It shall be therefore a idah (witness) against you, lest you kachash (deny) your Alahayam ().”
28 So Yahawashawai (Joshua) sent the im (nation / people) shalach (send), every ayash (man / husband) to his nachalah (inheritance).
29 It happened achar (other) these things, that Yahawashawai (Joshua) the ban (son) of Nawan (Nun), the ibad (servant) of Yahawah (), mawath (death), being one maah (hundred) and ishar (ten) shanayam (years) ban (son).
30 They qabar (grave / tomb / sepulcher) him in the gabawal (border/boundary) of his nachalah (inheritance) in Thamanathacharas (Timnathserah), which is in the har (mountain) country of Aparayam (Ephraim), on the tzapawan (north) of the har (mountain) of Gaish (Gaash).
31 Yashar-Al (Israel) ibad (servant) Yahawah () all the yamay (days) of Yahawashawai (Joshua), and all the yamay (days) of the zaqanayam (elders) who yawam (day) Yahawashawai (Joshua), and yadai (had) known all the maishah (work) of Yahawah (), that he ishah (make) worked for Yashar-Al (Israel).
32 They qabar (grave / tomb / sepulcher) the itzamawath (bones) of Yawasap (Joseph), which the banay (my son) of Yashar-Al (Israel) ilah (go up / offer) up out of Matzarayam (Matzarayam / Egypt), in Shakam (Shechem), in the chalaqah (parcel) of shadah (ground) which Yaiqab (Jacob - Patriarch) bought of the banay (my son) of Chamawar (Hamor) the ab (father) of Shakam (Shechem) for a maah (hundred) qashayatah (pieces) of money. They became the nachalah (inheritance) of the banay (my son) of Yawasap (Joseph).
33 Alaizar (Eleazar) the ban (son) of Aharawan (Aaron) mawath (death). They qabar (grave / tomb / sepulcher) him in the gabaih (hill) of Payanachas (Phinehas) his ban (son), which was nathan (give) him in the har (mountain) country of Aparayam (Ephraim).
