OET (OET-LV) And_you(pl)_will_be_strong very to_guard/protect and_to_do DOM every_of (the)_thing_written in_the_book_of the_law_of Mosheh to_not to_turn_aside from_him/it right_hand and_left_hand.

OET (OET-RV) Take great care to obey and do everything that Mosheh wrote down—don’t deviate from it in any way.

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 23:1–16: Joshua warned the Israelites to continue to obey Yahweh

Joshua gave this farewell speech to the Israelites when he was near the end of his life. This section connects back to Joshua 13:1 which says that Joshua was very old, and to Joshua 21:44 which says that God had given the Israelites rest.Butler, p. 254. The text does not say where Joshua gave this farewell speech, but it may have taken place at Shiloh.Woudstra, p. 332.

Here is another possible section heading:

Joshua’s farewell speech to the Israelites

23:6a

Be very strong, then, so that you can keep and obey

Be very strong, then: The conjunction that the BSB translates as then is the Hebrew conjunction which connects sentences. It is translated in different ways depending upon the context. Translate this connecting word in a way that is natural in your language.

Be very strong: The Hebrew word that the BSB translates as strong could also be translated as “steadfast” or “brave” or “determined.”

Here are some other ways to translate this part of the verse:

So be very determined to keep and obey

Be very firm and careful to do

23:6b

all that is written in the Book of the Law of Moses,

all that is written in the Book of the Law of Moses: Here are some other ways to translate this part of the verse:

everything that Moses wrote in the book of the law

every command that is in the law book that Moses wrote

23:6c

not turning aside from it to the right or to the left.

not turning aside from it to the right or to the left: The Hebrew idiom not turning aside from it to the right or to the left means that a person must obey God completely. He must not disobey any part of God’s law.The Hebrew construction is a negative word followed by an infinitive verb form. It functions as a command. See Williams, p. 69.

Here are some other ways to translate this idiom:

you must obey all of it completely

Do not turn away from any part of that law.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

הַ⁠כָּת֔וּב בְּ⁠סֵ֖פֶר תּוֹרַ֣ת מֹשֶׁ֑ה

(Some words not found in UHB: and,you(pl)_will_be_strong very to=guard/protect and,to,do DOM all/each/any/every (the)_[thing],written in,the_book_of law_of Mosheh to=not turning_aside from=him/it right and,left_hand )

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [that Moses wrote in the book of instruction]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / merism

לְ⁠בִלְתִּ֥י סוּר־מִמֶּ֖⁠נּוּ יָמִ֥ין וּ⁠שְׂמֹֽאול

(Some words not found in UHB: and,you(pl)_will_be_strong very to=guard/protect and,to,do DOM all/each/any/every (the)_[thing],written in,the_book_of law_of Mosheh to=not turning_aside from=him/it right and,left_hand )

Joshua is speaking of two directions in order to mean them and everything in between. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [not to turn aside from it in any direction]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

לְ⁠בִלְתִּ֥י סוּר־מִמֶּ֖⁠נּוּ יָמִ֥ין וּ⁠שְׂמֹֽאול

(Some words not found in UHB: and,you(pl)_will_be_strong very to=guard/protect and,to,do DOM all/each/any/every (the)_[thing],written in,the_book_of law_of Mosheh to=not turning_aside from=him/it right and,left_hand )

Joshua is speaking as if following God’s instruction were like walking on a path. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [not to disobey it in any way]
