OET (OET-RV) “You all won’t be able to serve Yahweh,” warned Yehoshua, “because he’s a god who cannot mix with sin. He’s a jealous God—he won’t forgive your rebellion and disobedience.

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 24:1–33: Israel renewed their covenant with Yahweh

In this section Joshua called the people of Israel together to affirm that they would worship and obey only Yahweh. He warned them that Yahweh would bring disaster on them if they worshiped other gods. Then Joshua died and was buried.

Here are some other possible section headings:

Renewing the covenant at Shechem

The Israelites promise to worship only Yahweh

24:19a

But Joshua said to the people,

But: The Hebrew conjunction that the BSB translates as But introduces the next event in the storyline. Introduce the next event in a natural way in your language.

Joshua said to the people: The term the people refers to the Israelites who were listening to Joshua.

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

Then Joshua told the people

Joshua warned them

24:19b

“You are not able to serve the LORD,

You are not able to serve the LORD: The Hebrew clause that the BSB translates as You are not able to serve the LORD is more literally “you will not be able to serve Yahweh.” Joshua warned the people to think carefully about what it meant to serve Yahweh. It would not be easy to obey and worship him.

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

You(plur) cannot serve Yahweh

It is not easy to worship and obey Yahweh

24:19c

for He is a holy God; He is a jealous God;

for He is a holy God: The clause He is a holy God states the first reason why it would be difficult to serve Yahweh. He is a completely pure God who is set apart from all others. This is the first time in the book of Joshua that the term holy is used regarding God. Consider the way you translated the word holy when you said “Holy Spirit” in the New Testament.

He is a jealous God: This is the second reason why it would be difficult to serve Yahweh. The clause He is a jealous God indicates that God demands that the Israelites worship only him.

Here are some other ways to translate this clause:

He hates his people worshiping other gods (ERV)

He will not allow you to worship other gods

He is God, and he wants you to serve him only

24:19d

He will not forgive your rebellion or your sins.

He will not forgive your rebellion or your sins: The Hebrew words that the BSB translates as rebellion and sins both refer to breaking the commands of God. Some languages may have only one word for this. In that case it may be more natural to translate using one word only. For example:

he…will not forgive your sins (GNT)

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

He will not forgive you if you rebel and sin against him.

He will not forgive you if you turn away from him and sin.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

לֹֽא־יִשָּׂ֥א לְ⁠פִשְׁעֲ⁠כֶ֖ם וּ⁠לְ⁠חַטֹּאותֵי⁠כֶֽם

not forgive to,transgression_of,your(pl) and,(to),sins_of,your(pl)

Joshua is speaking as if transgressions and sins were objects that could be lifted away from someone. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [He will not forgive your transgressions and your sins]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

לְ⁠פִשְׁעֲ⁠כֶ֖ם וּ⁠לְ⁠חַטֹּאותֵי⁠כֶֽם

to,transgression_of,your(pl) and,(to),sins_of,your(pl)

The terms transgressions and sins mean similar things. Joshua is using the two terms together for emphasis. If it would be clearer for your readers, you could express the emphasis with a single phrase. Alternate translation: [your serious sins]
