MSG ^(1-9)After the death of Moses the servant of God, God spoke to Joshua, Moses’ assistant:
“Moses my servant is dead. Get going. Cross this Jordan River, you and all the people. Cross to the country I’m giving to the People of Israel. I’m giving you every square inch of the land you set your foot on—just as I promised Moses. From the wilderness and this Lebanon east to the Great River, the Euphrates River—all the Hittite country—and then west to the Great Sea. It’s all yours. All your life, no one will be able to hold out against you. In the same way I was with Moses, I’ll be with you. I won’t give up on you; I won’t leave you. Strength! Courage! You are going to lead this people to inherit the land that I promised to give their ancestors. Give it everything you have, heart and soul. Make sure you carry out The Revelation that Moses commanded you, every bit of it. Don’t get off track, either left or right, so as to make sure you get to where you’re going. And don’t for a minute let this Book of The Revelation be out of mind. Ponder and meditate on it day and night, making sure you practice everything written in it. Then you’ll get where you’re going; then you’ll succeed. Haven’t I commanded you? Strength! Courage! Don’t be timid; don’t get discouraged. God, your God, is with you every step you take.”

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

לֹֽא & אִישׁ֙

not & (a)_man

Since the book of Joshua describes how the kings of cities and kingdoms led their soldiers into battle to oppose Joshua, the phrase No man seems implicitly to mean “No king and his army” or more broadly “No people group.” If it would be helpful to your readers, you could indicate that explicitly. Alternate translation: “No king and his army” or “No people group.”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

יִתְיַצֵּ֥ב & לְ⁠פָנֶ֔י⁠ךָ

stand & to=your=face

In this context, the word stand means “resist” or “withstand.” The phrase to your face either means “in front of you,” with face meaning by association the area in front of Joshua, or “against you,” with part of Joshua, his face, representing all of him. You could indicate this overall meaning explicitly in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “will be able to resist you”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular

לְ⁠פָנֶ֔י⁠ךָ & חַיֶּ֑י⁠ךָ & עִמָּ֔⁠ךְ & אַרְפְּ⁠ךָ֖ & אֶעֶזְבֶֽ⁠ךָּ

to=your=face & (Some words not found in UHB: not stand (a)_man to=your=face all days_of life,your just=as was with Mosheh be with,you not fail,you and=not forsake,you )

As the General Notes to this chapter discuss, the words you and your are singular in this verse and through verse 9, since they refer to Joshua. So use singular forms in your translation if your language marks that distinction.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

לֹ֥א אַרְפְּ⁠ךָ֖ וְ⁠לֹ֥א אֶעֶזְבֶֽ⁠ךָּ

not (Some words not found in UHB: not stand (a)_man to=your=face all days_of life,your just=as was with Mosheh be with,you not fail,you and=not forsake,you )

The words abandon and leave mean basically the same thing. Yahweh combines them to emphasize that he will not do these things. If it would be clearer for your readers, you could express the emphasis with a single phrase. It may be more natural in your language to use a positive statement to do that. Alternate translation: “I will not ever abandon you” or “I will certainly stay with you always”
